Termination and Abandonment This Agreement may be terminated and the Merger and the other Transactions may be abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time, notwithstanding any requisite approval and adoption of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby by the stockholders of the Company:
(a) By mutual written consent duly authorized by the Boards of Directors of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company prior to Merger Sub's Election Date; or
(b) By Parent or the Company if (i) the Minimum Condition has not been satisfied during a ten (10) business day extension of the Offer following the Initial Expiration Date, but all other conditions have been satisfied or (ii) any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States or other governmental authority shall have issued an order, decree, ruling or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the acceptance for payment of, or payment for, shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer or the Merger and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; or
(c) By Parent, if due to an occurrence or circumstance that results in a failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Annex A, Merger Sub shall have (A) failed to commence the Offer within 10 days following the date of this Agreement or (B) terminated the Offer without having accepted any Shares for payment thereunder, unless any such failure listed above shall have been caused by or resulted from the failure of Parent or Merger Sub to perform in any material respect any material covenant or agreement of either of them contained in this Agreement or the material breach by Parent or Merger Sub of any material representation or warranty of either of them contained in this Agreement; or
(d) By the Company, upon approval of the Board, if (i) Merger Sub shall have (A) failed to commence the Offer within 10 days following the date of this Agreement or (B) terminated the Offer without having accepted any Shares for payment thereunder, unless such failure to pay for Shares shall have been caused by or resulted from the failure of the Company to satisfy the conditions set forth in paragraphs (f) or (g) of Annex A, (ii) prior to the purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer, the Board shall have withdrawn or modified in a manner adverse to Merger Sub or Parent its approval or recommendation of the Offer, this Agreement or the Merger in order to approve a Superior Proposal; provided, however, that such termination under this clause (ii) shall not be effective until the Company has made payment to Parent of the Termination Fee (as hereinafter defined) required to be paid pursuant to Section 8.2(a) and has deposited with a mutually acceptable escrow agent $2 million for reimbursement to Parent and Merger Sub of Expenses (as hereinafter defined) or (iii) Parent or Merger Sub shall have breached in any material respect any of their respective representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, which failure to perform is incapable of being cured or has not been cured within 20 days after the giving of written notice to Parent or Merger Sub, as applicable, except, in any case, such failures which are not reasonably likely to affect adversely Parent's or Merger Sub's ability to complete the Offer or the Merger. The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1 (other than pursuant to Section 8.1(a)) shall give notice of such termination to the other party.
Effect of Termination and Abandonment In the event of termination of this Agreement and the abandonment of the Merger pursuant to this Article VIII, no party to this Agreement shall have any liability or further obligation to any other party hereunder except (a) as set forth in Sections 8.03 and 9.01 and (b) that termination will not relieve a breaching party from liability for any willful breach of this Agreement giving rise to such termination.
Job Abandonment A. If an employee is absent without authorized leave under the provisions of Article 17.1.D for twelve (12) or more consecutive days, the employee shall be considered to have abandoned the position and voluntarily resigned from the University.
B. Notwithstanding Article 16.7(A), above, if the employee's absence is for reasons beyond the control of the employee and the employee notifies the University as soon as practicable, the employee will not be considered to have abandoned the position.
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).
Preservation of Existence and Similar Matters Except as otherwise permitted under Section 9.4., the Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party and each other Subsidiary to, preserve and maintain its respective existence, rights, franchises, licenses and privileges in the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation and qualify and remain qualified and authorized to do business in each jurisdiction in which the character of its properties or the nature of its business requires such qualification and authorization and where the failure to be so authorized and qualified could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Access To, Return, and Disposition of Data Upon written request of LEA, Operator shall dispose of or delete all Data obtained under the Service Agreement when it is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was obtained, and transfer said data to LEA or LEA’s designee within sixty (60) days of the date of termination and according to a schedule and procedure as the Parties may reasonably agree. Operator acknowledges LEA’s obligations regarding retention of governmental data, and shall not destroy Data except as permitted by LEA.

The LEA may employ a “Request for Return or Deletion of Data” FORM, a sample of this form is attached on Exhibit “D”). Upon receipt of a request from the LEA, the Operator will immediately provide the LEA with any specified portion of the Data within five (5) business days of receipt of said request.
Mergers, Consolidations and Sales Except with the prior written consent of the Required Lenders (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit Whitestone REIT or any Subsidiary to, effect any merger or consolidation, or sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its Property, including any disposition of Property as part of a sale and leaseback transaction, or in any event sell or discount (with or without recourse) any of its notes or accounts receivable; provided, however, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exist, this Section shall not apply to nor operate to prevent:
(a) the sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of Property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to one another in the ordinary course of its business;
(b) sales of shares of capital stock or other equity interests by Borrower or Whitesone REIT, so long as no Change of Control results therefrom;
(c) the merger of any Subsidiary with and into the Borrower or any other Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of any merger involving the Borrower, the Borrower is the entity surviving the merger;
(d) the sale, transfer or other disposition of any tangible personal property that, in the reasonable business judgment of the Borrower or its Subsidiary, has become obsolete or worn out, and which is disposed of in the ordinary course of business;
(e) the sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (including any disposition of Property as part of a sale and leaseback transaction) aggregating not more than 20% of the Total Asset Value of the Borrower for all such transactions after the date of this Agreement;
(f) any merger if it results in the simultaneous payoff in immediately available funds of the Obligations; and
(g) the merger or consolidation of the Borrower with another Person not otherwise permitted under clauses (c) and (f) above, so long as (i) the Borrower is the surviving entity, (ii) the Borrower has delivered evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that it will be in pro forma compliance with all provisions of this Agreement upon and after such merger or consolidation and (iii) the Borrower will not engage in any material line of business substantially different from that engaged in on the Closing Date.
CONTRIBUTION IN THE EVENT OF JOINT LIABILITY (a) To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification, hold harmless and/or exoneration rights provided for in this Agreement are unavailable to Indemnitee in whole or in part for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying, holding harmless or exonerating Indemnitee, shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any Proceeding without requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment, and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have at any time against Indemnitee.
(b) The Company shall not enter into any settlement of any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding) unless such settlement provides for a full and final release of all claims asserted against Indemnitee.
(c) The Company hereby agrees to fully indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee from any claims for contribution which may be brought by officers, directors or employees of the Company other than Indemnitee who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee.
Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with Substitutions and Repurchases (a) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no substitution pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 shall be made more than 90 days after the Closing Date unless the Seller delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of either the Trustee or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that such substitution will not (i) result in the imposition of the tax on "prohibited transactions" on the Trust Fund or contributions after the Startup Date, as defined in sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively or (ii) cause any REMIC created under this Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
(b) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall promptly (and in any event within five Business Days of discovery) give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Trustee shall require the Seller, at the Seller's option, to either (i) substitute, if the conditions in Section 2.03(c) with respect to substitutions are satisfied, a Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan, or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of such discovery in the same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan for a breach of representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03. The Trustee shall reconvey to the Seller the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 2.03.
