If requested by Parent, the Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries and direct its or their Representatives to, during the Notice Period, engage in good faith negotiations with Parent and its Representatives to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that, (A) in the case of an Acquisition Proposal, such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal, and (B) in the case of an Intervening Event, the failure of the Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof) to make a Change of Recommendation would not be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.
