Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall submit the “agreement of merger” (as such term is used in Section 251 of the DGCL) set forth in this Agreement to the Company’s stockholders for adoption at the Company Stockholder Meeting, and the Company’s obligations under this Section 7.6 shall not be terminated, superseded, limited, modified or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission to the Company of any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Transaction, or by any Company Board Recommendation Change (whether or not in compliance with the terms hereof). Parent and Purchaser each agree that at the Company Stockholder Meeting, all of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Offer and all other shares of Company Common Stock otherwise owned by Parent, Purchaser or their respective controlled affiliates will be voted in favor of the Merger.

The Company shall not require any vote greater than a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock for approval of the Merger Proposal.
