TERMINATION OF THE OFFERING The undersigned understands that the Company may terminate the offering at any time and for any reason.

Termination or Abandonment Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated and abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after any approval of the Merger by the stockholders of the Company:
(a) by the mutual written consent of the Company and Parent;
(b) by either Parent or the Company if the Merger shall not have been consummated on or prior to June 30, 2012 (the “End Date”), provided, however, that if all of the conditions to Closing, other than the condition set forth in Section 6.1(c), shall have been satisfied or shall be capable of being satisfied at such time, the End Date may be extended by Parent or the Company from time to time by written notice to the other party up to a date not beyond December 31, 2012, the latest of any of which dates shall thereafter be deemed to be the End Date; and provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(b) shall not be available to a party if the failure of the Closing to occur by such date shall be due to the material breach by such party of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement of such party set forth in this Agreement;
(c) by either the Company or Parent if an injunction shall have been entered permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Merger and such injunction shall have become final and non-appealable; provided that the party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(c) shall have used its reasonable best efforts to remove such injunction to the extent such party is required to use its reasonable best efforts pursuant to this Agreement;
(d) by either the Company or Parent if the Stockholders’ Meeting (including any adjournments or postponements thereof) shall have concluded and the Company Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained;
(e) by the Company, if Parent shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 and (ii) by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the End Date or, if by its nature such breach or failure is capable of being cured by the End Date, Parent does not diligently attempt or ceases to diligently attempt to cure such breach or failure after receiving written notice from the Company describing such breach or failure in reasonable detail (provided that the Company is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein);
(f) by Parent, if the Company shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2(f) and (ii) by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the End Date or, if by its nature such breach or failure is capable of being cured by the End Date, the Company does not diligently attempt or ceases to diligently attempt to cure such breach or failure after receiving written notice from Parent describing such breach or failure in reasonable detail (provided that Parent is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein);
(g) by Parent, (i) prior to the Company Stockholder Approval, in the event of a Change of Recommendation or if the Board of Directors of the Company shall have approved or recommended to its shareholders an Acquisition Transaction, or (ii) the Company shall have willfully and materially breached any of its obligations under Section 5.4; and
(h) by the Company, prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval and if the Company has complied with its obligations under Section 5.4, in order to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Offer; provided that any such purported termination by the Company pursuant to this Section 7.1(h) shall be void and of no force or effect unless the Company pays to Parent the expense reimbursement in accordance with Section 7.3(a) and the Breakup Fee in accordance with Section 7.3(c).
Abandonment If the assigned bedroom space or an apartment is abandoned or Resident’s right to use them has been terminated, Owner may, without notice, secure the bedroom space and/or apartment with new locks, store or dispose of any personal property left in the bedroom space or apartment by Resident or Resident's Guests, and re-assign the bedroom space and/or apartment to others for use. Any such abandoned property or personal possessions will be stored and disposed of by Owner as provided by law. Owner, in its sole reasonable discretion in accordance with applicable law, will determine when a bedroom and/or apartment is abandoned, which may take into consideration any one of the following: the removal of personal property from the bedroom space other than in the usual course of continuing use, the failure to pay housing charges or other charges, discontinuance of any utility service, and failure to respond to any notices, phone calls, or correspondence from Owner or its representatives.
Abandonment or Default If Provider abandons work or defaults on the Contract, the GLO may terminate the Contract without notice. Provider will not be considered in any re-solicitation of the services described herein and may not be considered in future solicitations for similar services, unless the specification or scope of work changes significantly. The GLO will determine the period of suspension based on the seriousness of the abandonment or default.
The Offer (a) Subject to this Agreement not having theretofore been terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.1 hereof, Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Sub to, as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than five business days from, the date of this Agreement, commence an offer to purchase for cash (as it may be amended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the "Offer") all shares of common stock, par value $0.25 per share (the "Company Common Stock"), of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Offer (the "Shares"), subject only to the conditions set forth in Exhibit A hereto (the "Conditions"), at a price of $19.50 (the "Offer Price") per Share, net to the seller in cash. Subject only to the Conditions, Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Sub to, accept for payment and pay for all Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not withdrawn prior to the expiration date of the Offer as promptly as practicable following the expiration date of the Offer. Sub expressly reserves the right to amend the terms and conditions of the Offer, PROVIDED that without the consent of the Company, no amendment may be made which (i) decreases the price per Share or changes the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (ii) decreases the number of Shares sought, or (iii) changes any of the Conditions or imposes additional conditions to the Offer or amends any other term of the Offer in either case in any manner adverse to the holders of Shares (it being understood that extensions of the Offer as contemplated by this Section 1.1(a) are not adverse to the holders of Shares); and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the Minimum Condition (as defined in Exhibit A hereto) is for the benefit of the Company and may not be waived without the Company's consent. The Offer may only be extended with the prior written consent of the Company or as required by law; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, Parent and Sub may extend the Offer without the consent of the Company (A) if at the scheduled expiration date of the Offer any of the Conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived or (B) for any period required by any Laws (as hereinafter defined) applicable to the Offer and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that if the Conditions are not satisfied or, to the extent permitted by this Agreement, waived as of any scheduled expiration date, Parent and Sub shall extend the Offer from time to time for up to five (5) business days at a time (or such longer period as shall be approved by the Company) until the earlier of the consummation of the Offer or sixty (60) calendar days after the date hereof, provided that such extension shall not be required if in the reasonable judgment of Parent or Sub, any Condition is incapable of being satisfied prior to the expiration of the sixty (60) calendar days. Upon the terms hereof and subject to the Conditions, Sub will accept for payment and purchase all Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer.
(b) The Company will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries (as defined below) to, tender into the Offer any Shares beneficially owned by it. For purposes of this Agreement, "Subsidiary" means, as to any Person (as defined below), any corporation, limited liability company, partnership or joint venture, whether now existing or hereafter organized or acquired: (i) in the case of a corporation, of which at least a majority of the outstanding shares of stock having by the terms thereof ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors of such corporation (other than stock having such voting power solely by reason of the happening of any contingency) is at the time directly or indirectly owned or controlled by such Person and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries or (ii) in the case of a limited liability company, partnership or joint venture, in which such Person or Subsidiary of such Person is a managing member, general partner or joint venturer or of which a majority of the partnership or other ownership interests are at the time owned by such Person and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries. For purposes of this Agreement, "Person" means any individual, corporation, company, voluntary association, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity.
Terms of the Offer Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, the Purchasers will accept for payment and pay for Shares validly tendered on or prior to the Expiration Date and not withdrawn in accordance with Section 4 of this Offer to Purchase. The term “Expiration Date” shall mean 11:59 p.m., Pacific Time, on November 21, 2011, unless and until the Purchasers shall have extended the period of time for which the Offer is open, in which event the term “Expiration Date” shall mean the latest time and date on which the Offer, as so extended by the Purchasers, shall expire. The Offer is conditioned on satisfaction of certain conditions. See Section 13, which sets forth in full the conditions of the Offer. The Purchasers reserve the right (but shall not be obligated), in their sole discretion and for any reason, to waive any or all of such conditions. If, by the Expiration Date, any or all of such conditions have not been satisfied or waived, the Purchasers reserve the right (but shall not be obligated) to (i) decline to purchase any of the Shares tendered, terminate the Offer and return all tendered Shares to tendering Shareholders, (ii) waive all the unsatisfied conditions and, subject to complying with applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, purchase all Shares validly tendered, (iii) extend the Offer and, subject to the right of Shareholders to withdraw Shares until the Expiration Date, retain the Shares that have been tendered during the period or periods for which the Offer is extended or (iv) to amend the Offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the expiration of the Offer, if all conditions are either satisfied or waived, the Purchasers will promptly pay for all validly tendered Shares upon the earlier of receipt of your share certificates or confirmation from the Corporation that you own the Shares, and the Purchasers do not intend to imply that the foregoing rights of the Purchasers would permit the Purchasers to delay payment for validly tendered Shares following expiration. The Purchasers do not anticipate and have no reason to believe that any condition or event will occur that would prevent the Purchasers from purchasing tendered Shares as offered herein. Further, by tendering your Shares, you are agreeing to arbitrate any disputes that may arise between you and the Purchasers or the Depositary, to subject yourself to personal jurisdiction in California, and that the prevailing party in any such action will be entitled to recover attorney fees and costs. However, by so doing, you are not waiving any of your rights under the federal securities laws or any rule or regulation thereunder.
Abandonment of Position An employee who fails to report for duty for three consecutive working days without informing the Employer of the reason for their absence will be presumed to have abandoned their position. An employee will be afforded the opportunity within 10 days to rebut such presumption and demonstrate that there were reasonable grounds for not informing the Employer.
Abandonment of Premises If the property becomes vacant during the term of this lease, and if at the time of the vacancy Tenant are in default in the payment of any installment of rent, then the rent for the entire term shall become at once due and payable and Landlord may proceed to collect rent for said entire premises, with or without process of law, to take possession thereof, to remove any and all property there from and store as required by law, to lease the premises as agent of Tenant, and to apply the proceeds received from such letting toward the payment of Tenant' rent under this lease; such re-entry and re-letting shall not discharge Tenant from liability for rent, nor from any other obligation under the terms of this lease.

(iii) Neither Parent nor Acquisition Sub shall extend the Offer in any manner other than pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1(d)(ii) without the prior written consent of the Company.
(iv) Neither Parent nor Acquisition Sub shall terminate or withdraw the Offer prior to the then scheduled expiration of the Offer unless this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Article IX, in which case Acquisition Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Acquisition Sub to) irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer promptly (but in no event more than one (1) Business Day) after such termination of this Agreement.
