7. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.
7.1 At such time as GoAmerica commences bona fide discussions with another
entity, or group of related entities, to effect a Subject Transaction, GoAmerica
shall promptly notify EarthLink and shall continue to keep EarthLink reasonably
informed on a regular basis of the substance of the discussions, the progress
being made with respect to the transaction that is the subject of the
discussions, the material commercial terms of the subject transaction and other
such information reasonably related to the discussions (an "Offer Notice").
7.2 If GoAmerica receives an offer from a third party, whether that offer
was solicited by GoAmerica or not, and whether or not GoAmerica has provided a
notice pursuant to Section 7.1, then at such time, if any, as GoAmerica believes
that the transaction subject to the offer will become subject to a definitive
agreement within the next [**] ([**]) calendar days, GoAmerica shall immediately
deliver to EarthLink a written notice describing the form and structure of the
possible transaction and the then proposed terms and conditions (including
pricing information) for such transaction (also an "Offer Notice").
7.3 For [**] ([**]) business days following EarthLink's receipt of an Offer
Notice (the "EarthLink Offer Period"), GoAmerica may not enter into a definitive
agreement with respect to the Offer and must continue to provide information
required to be provided pursuant to Sections 7.1 and 7.2.
7.4 If EarthLink determines to make a counter-offer to the offer described
in the Offer Notice, EarthLink may do so prior to the end of the EarthLink Offer
Period, by notifying GoAmerica in writing of the terms and conditions of
EarthLink's counter offer (the "EarthLink Counter Offer"). GoAmerica shall cause
its Board of Directors promptly to convene for the purpose of determining
whether to accept or reject the EarthLink Counter Offer. If the GoAmerica Board
of Directors, in good faith and after consultation with its professional
financial advisors and outside legal counsel, determines that the EarthLink
Counter Offer is more favorable to GoAmerica or to its shareholders from a
financial perspective than the offer described in the Offer Notice, then
GoAmerica will accept the EarthLink Counter Offer and affirmatively reject the
third-party offer that is the subject of the Offer Notice, and shall also
immediately commence the diligent negotiation and preparation of definitive
documents for the
CONFIDENTIAL 13 ACQUISITION AGREEMENT
consummation of the EarthLink Counter Offer. If the GoAmerica Board of
Directors, in good faith and after consultation with its professional financial
advisors and outside legal counsel, determines that the EarthLink Counter Offer
is not more favorable to GoAmerica or to its shareholders from a financial
perspective than the offer described in the Offer Notice, then GoAmerica shall
have no further obligation to EarthLink with respect to this Section 7.
