Parent Recommendation. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.3, during the Pre-Closing Period, neither the Parent Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) change, qualify, withhold, withdraw or modify, or authorize or resolve to or publicly propose or announce its intention to change, qualify, withhold, withdraw or modify, in each case, in any manner adverse to the Company, the Parent Recommendation, or (ii) fail to include the Parent Recommendation in the Parent Shareholder Circular (any such action being referred to as a “Parent Adverse Recommendation Change”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to the time, but not after, the Parent Shareholder Approval has been obtained, the Parent Board may make a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change if (1) such action is taken in respect to an Intervening Event and (2) prior to taking such action, the Parent Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and outside independent financial advisors, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the Parent Board’s fiduciary duties under Applicable Law.
