Notification of Unsolicited Acquisition Proposals (i) As promptly as practicable (but in any event within one business day) after any of Avanex or Oplink's respective officers, directors or representatives (including any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by it or any of its subsidiaries) receives or becomes aware of the receipt of any Acquisition Proposal by Avanex or Oplink, as the case may be, or any request for nonpublic information or inquiry which Avanex or Oplink, as the case may be, reasonably believes could lead to an Acquisition Proposal, Avanex or Oplink, as the case may be, shall provide the other party hereto with written notice of the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, and the identity of the Person or group making any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry and a copy of all written materials provided in connection with such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry.

Superior Proposals Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5.1, from the date hereof until the Company’s receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company and the Company Board (or a committee thereof) may, directly or indirectly, or through one or more of their Representatives, participate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, furnish any non-public information relating to the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books, records or other non-public information, or to any Personnel, of the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, in each case pursuant to and subject to the entry into a customary confidentiality agreement containing confidentiality terms no less restrictive in any material respect than the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, to any Third Person or its Representatives that has made or delivered to the Company a bona fide Acquisition Proposal after the date hereof that did not result from any breach of Section 5.1(a) (other than any breach that is immaterial in scope and effect); provided, however, that, prior to taking any such actions, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that such Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal, and the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that the failure to take the actions contemplated by this Section 5.1(b) would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and provided further that the Company will promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) make available to the Parent and its Representatives any non-public information concerning the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that is provided to any such Third Person or its Representatives that was not previously made available to the Parent prior to or substantially concurrently (but in no event later than 24 hours after) the time it is provided to such Third Person.

Acquisition Proposal “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any offer or proposal (other than an offer or proposal made or submitted by Parent) contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition Transaction.
Exclusivity; Acquisition Proposals Unless and until this Agreement will have been terminated by either party pursuant to Article X hereof and thereafter subject to Section 10.5, INT'X.xxx will not (and will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that none of its officers, directors, stockholders, agents, representatives or affiliates) take or cause or permit any Person to take, directly or indirectly, any of the following actions with any party other than Parent and its designees: (i) solicit, encourage, initiate or participate in any negotiations, inquiries, or discussions with respect to any offer or proposal to acquire all or any significant part of INT'X.xxx's business, assets or capital stock, whether by merger, consolidation, other business combination, purchase of assets, tender or exchange offer or otherwise (each of the foregoing, an "ACQUISITION TRANSACTION"), (ii) disclose, in connection with an Acquisition Transaction, any information not customarily disclosed to any Person other than Parent or its representatives concerning INT'X.xxx's business or properties or afford to any Person other than Parent or its representatives access to its properties, books, or records, except in the ordinary course of business and as required by law or pursuant to a governmental request for information, (iii) enter into or execute any agreement relating to an Acquisition Transaction, or (iv) make or authorize any public statement, recommendation or solicitation in support of any Acquisition Transaction or any offer or proposal relating to an Acquisition Transaction other than with respect to the Merger PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (a) INT'X.xxx may furnish or cause to be furnished information concerning INT'X.xxx and its businesses, properties or assets to a Person, (b) the Company may engage in discussions or negotiations with such Person, (c) following receipt of a proposal or offer for an Acquisition Transaction, may make disclosure to its stockholders and may recommend such proposal or offer to its stockholders and (d) following receipt of a proposal or offer for an Acquisition Transaction the Board of Directors of INT'X.xxx may enter into an agreement in principle or a definitive agreement with respect to such Acquisition Transaction, but in each case referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (d) only to the extent that the Board of Directors of INT'X.xxx shall conclude in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel that such action is necessary or appropriate because failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties owed by the Board of Directors to the stockholders of INT'X.xxx under applicable law; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the Board of Directors of INT'X.xxx shall not take any of the foregoing actions referred to in clauses (a) through (d) without prior written notice to Parent with respect to such action. In the event that INT'X.xxx is contacted by any third party expressing an interest in discussing an Acquisition Transaction, INT'X.xxx will promptly notify Parent of such contact and the identity of the party so contacting INT'X.xxx.
Alternative Transaction In the event that, in lieu of the Arrangement, the Purchaser seeks to complete the acquisition of the Company Shares other than as contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement on a basis that (a) provides for economic terms which, in relation to the Shareholder, on an after-tax basis, are at least equivalent to or better than those contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement taking into account the Intended Tax Treatment, (b) would not likely result in a delay or time to completion beyond the Voting Support Outside Date, and (c) is otherwise on terms and conditions not materially more onerous on the Shareholder than the Arrangement (including any take-over bid) any such transaction, an “Alternative Transaction”), then during the term of this Agreement the Shareholder may, on its own accord, and shall, upon written request of the Purchaser, support the completion of such Alternative Transaction in the same manner as the Arrangement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement mutatis mutandis, including by (A) depositing or causing the deposit of its Subject Shares (including any Company Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise, conversion or vesting, as applicable, of any Company Options, Company Compensation Options or Company RSUs) into an Alternative Transaction conducted by way of a take-over bid made by the Purchaser or an affiliate of Purchaser and not withdrawing them; and/or (B) voting or causing to be voted all of the Subject Shares (to the extent that they carry the right to vote) in favour of, and not dissenting from, such Alternative Transaction proposed by the Purchaser, provided however that the Shareholder shall not be required to exercise, convert or exchange any Subject Shares (other than Company Shares) in connection with an Alternative Transaction.
