Parent, if any, after consultation with outside legal counsel, the Company Board shall have determined, in good faith, that the failure to make the Company Adverse Change Recommendation in response to such Intervening Event is inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company Stockholders under applicable Laws.
