A. Company Board Approval

4.1 The Company hereby confirms that the Company Board has unanimously resolved the following:

(a) a Superior Offer is submitted, and, as a result thereof, the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to take any action referred to in 4.6.1 — 4.6.3 above in relation to such Superior Offer would violate its fiduciary duties pursuant to article 717 CO; provided that prior to taking any action referred to in 4.6.1 — 4.6.3 above, the Company Board granted the Bidder the opportunity to submit to it in writing, within five (5) Trading Days, an improved offer so that the Offer is at least as favourable as such Superior Offer; or
