The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations by the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or any Representative of the Company or its Subsidiaries with any Persons (other than Parent and Merger Sub) conducted heretofore with respect to any Alternative Transaction and request from each Person that has executed a confidentiality agreement with the Company in connection with an Alternative Transaction the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished to such Person or its representatives and terminate access by each such Person and its representatives to any online or other data rooms containing any information in respect of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. In addition, the Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives not to take any action to exempt any Person (other than Parent or its Subsidiaries) or any action taken by any such Person from any state takeover statute or similarly restrictive provisions of the Company Organizational Documents, or except with respect to Parent and its Affiliates, grant any waiver or release under, or terminate, amend or otherwise modify any standstill, confidentiality or similar agreement with respect to any equity or debt securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or otherwise take any action that would render the provisions thereof ineffective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may respond to any unsolicited proposal regarding an Alternative Transaction by indicating that the Company is subject to a definitive agreement regarding a transaction and, except as provided in such definitive agreement, is unable to provide any information related to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or entertain any proposals or offers or engage in any negotiations or discussions concerning an Alternative Transaction for as long as such definitive agreement remains in effect. Except as expressly permitted by this Section 5.4, in no event shall the Company endorse, recommend, make a public statement or support in any manner any Alternative Transaction, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
SELF-DEALING Unless entered into in bad faith, no contract or transaction between the Company and one or more of its Members, officers, or employees, or between the Company and any other entity or organization in which one or more of its Members, officers, or employees have a financial interest or are owners, managers, partners, directors, officers, or employees, shall be voidable solely for this reason or solely because such Member, officer, or employee was present or participated in the authorization of such contract or transaction. No Member, officer, or employee interested in such contract or transaction, because of such interest, shall be considered to be in breach of this Agreement or liable to the Company or any other Person for any loss or expense incurred by reason of such contract or transaction or shall be accountable for any gain or profit realized from such contract or transaction. While not required, approval or ratification by a majority of the Members having no interest in the transaction constitutes conclusive evidence that such transaction is permitted under this section.
