  (g) if Torque and WinView have offered to Frankly to amend the Definitive Agreement and the Transaction, the board of directors of Frankly has determined in good faith, after consultation with Frankly’s outside legal counsel and financial advisers, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal compared to the terms of the Definitive Agreement as agreed in writing to be amended by Torque and WinView;
     
  (h) the board of directors of Frankly has determined in good faith, after consultation with Frankly’s outside legal counsel that it is appropriate for the board of directors of Frankly to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; and

(10) At Torque and WinView’s request, the board of directors of Frankly shall promptly reaffirm its recommendation by press release after it determines that an Acquisition Proposal is not a Superior Proposal or it determines that a proposed amendment to the terms of the Definitive Agreement would result in an Acquisition Proposal no longer being a Superior Proposal. Frankly shall provide Torque and WinView and their outside legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review the form and content of any such press release and shall make all reasonable amendments to such press release as requested by Torque and WinView and their outside legal counsel.
