Feasibility Period In the event that Buyer's environmental consultants have determined in their reasonable judgment before the Effective Date that there is a need for a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment ("Phase II ESA") of the Real Property, and Buyer has notified Seller thereof together with the reasons therefor, then subject to the provisions of the Access Agreement, Buyer shall be permitted until March 20, 2003 to conduct its Phase II ESA (the "Feasibility Period"). On or before the last day of the Feasibility Period, if, but only if, (a) the Phase II ESA discloses evidence of any one or more "Releases" (as such term is defined by Environmental Law) of Hazardous Materials or a recognized environmental condition on or affecting the Real Property in violation of Law, for which the cost to Buyer of remediation would exceed $100,000 in the aggregate and (b) the Release is not described in the ESAs and information provided to Buyer and listed on Schedule 10.9, Buyer may terminate this Agreement by providing a written notice to Seller so stating together with a copy of the Phase II ESA and an estimate of the remediation costs. Upon receipt of such notice, unless Seller nullifies the termination as described below, this Agreement shall terminate and the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and, neither party shall have any obligation to the other, except for the Covenants Surviving Termination. If Buyer fails to provide such notice of termination on or before the last day of the Feasibility Period, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.2 and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. If Buyer terminates this Agreement in accordance with this Section 7.2, Seller shall be able to nullify such termination by notifying Buyer on or before March 31, 2003, that Seller shall either (1) reduce the Purchase Price by the estimated remediation cost, or (2) together with The Xxxxx Company, L.P. agree with Buyer and Buyer's lenders (A) to pay for the remediation if, as and when it is performed, and (B) to provide guarantees or other assurance reasonably acceptable to such lenders with respect to such remediation.
CONDITIONS OF SETTLEMENT, EFFECT OF DISAPPROVAL, CANCELLATION OR TERMINATION 7.1 The Effective Date of the Stipulation shall be conditioned on the occurrence of all of the following events:
(a) the Court has entered the Preliminary Approval Order, as required by ¶3.1 hereof, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto;
(b) the Settlement Amount has been deposited into the XXXX;
(c) the Court has entered the Judgment, or a judgment substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto;
(d) Lexmark has not exercised its option to terminate the Stipulation pursuant to ¶7.3 hereof; and
(e) the Judgment has become Final, as defined in ¶1.12 hereof.
7.2 Upon the Effective Date, any and all remaining interest or right of the Defendants or the Defendants’ insurers in or to the Settlement Fund, if any, shall be absolutely and forever extinguished and the releases herein shall be effective. If the conditions specified in ¶7.1 hereof are not met, then the Stipulation shall be canceled and terminated subject to ¶7.4 hereof unless Lead Counsel and Defendants’ Counsel mutually agree in writing to proceed with the Stipulation.
7.3 Only Lexmark possesses the option to terminate the Settlement in the event that valid requests for exclusion from the Class exceed the criteria set forth in the Supplemental Agreement, executed between Lead Plaintiff and Lexmark through their respective counsel concurrently with this Agreement. The terms of the Supplemental Agreement shall not be disclosed in any other manner other than the statements herein and in the Notice, or as otherwise provided in the Supplemental Agreement unless and until the Court otherwise directs or a dispute arises between Lead Plaintiff and Defendants concerning its interpretation or application. If submission of the Supplemental Agreement to the Court is required for resolution of a dispute or is otherwise ordered by the Court, the parties will undertake to have the Court review the Supplemental Agreement in camera without filing it on the docket. If the Court requires that the Supplemental Agreement be filed, the parties shall request that it be filed under seal or with the percentage redacted.
7.4 Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, in the event the Stipulation is not approved or this Stipulation is terminated, canceled, or the Effective Date otherwise fails to occur, within ten (10) business days after written notification of such event is sent by Defendants’ Counsel or Lead Counsel to the Escrow Agent, the Settlement Fund (including accrued interest), less Taxes, Tax Expenses, and Notice and Administration Expenses which have either been disbursed pursuant to ¶¶2.1 and 2.8 hereof, or are chargeable to the Settlement Fund pursuant to ¶¶2.1 and 2.8 hereof, shall be refunded by the Escrow Agent pursuant to written instructions from Defendants’ Counsel. The Escrow Agent or its designee shall apply for any tax refund owed on the Settlement Amount and pay the proceeds, after deduction of any fees or expenses incurred in connection with such application(s) for refund, pursuant to written instructions from Defendants’ Counsel.
7.5 In the event that the Stipulation is not approved by the Court or the Settlement set forth in the Stipulation is terminated or fails to become effective in accordance with its terms, the Settling Parties shall be restored to their respective positions in the Litigation as of January 28, 2020. In such event, the terms and provisions of the Stipulation, with the exception of ¶¶1.1–1.36, 2.6–2.9, 6.3–6.5, 7.4–7.6, and 9.5–9.6 hereof, shall have no further force and effect with respect to the Settling Parties and shall not be used in this Litigation or in any other proceeding for any purpose, and any judgment or order entered by the Court in accordance with the terms of the Stipulation shall be treated as vacated, nunc pro tunc. No order of the Court or modification or reversal on appeal of any order of the Court concerning the Plan of Allocation or the amount of any attorneys’ fees, costs, expenses, and interest awarded by the Court to any of Plaintiffs’ Counsel or expenses to the Lead Plaintiff shall operate to terminate or cancel this Stipulation or constitute grounds for cancellation or termination of the Stipulation.
7.6 If the Effective Date does not occur, or if the Stipulation is terminated pursuant to its terms, neither Lead Plaintiff nor any of its counsel shall have any obligation to repay any amounts disbursed pursuant to ¶¶2.1 or 2.8. In addition, any expenses already incurred pursuant to ¶¶2.1 or 2.8 hereof at the time of such termination or cancellation but which have not been paid, shall be paid by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Stipulation prior to the balance being refunded in accordance with ¶¶2.9 and 7.4 hereof.
7.7 Defendants warrant and represent that they are not “insolvent” within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. § 101(32) as of the time the Stipulation is executed and will not be as of the time the payments of the Settlement Amount are actually transferred or made as reflected in the Stipulation. This representation is made by Defendants and not by Defendants’ Counsel. In the event of a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction, not subject to any further proceedings, determining the transfer of the Settlement Fund, or any portion thereof, by or on behalf of Defendants to be a voidable preference, voidable transfer, fraudulent transfer, or similar transaction under Title 11 of the United States Code (Bankruptcy), or applicable state law, and any portion thereof is required to be refunded and such amount is not promptly deposited in the Settlement Fund by or on behalf of any Defendants, then, at the election of Lead Plaintiff the Settlement may be terminated and the Judgment entered in favor of Defendants pursuant to the Settlement shall be null and void. Alternatively, at the election of Lead Plaintiff, the Settling Parties shall jointly move the Court to vacate and set aside the release given and the Judgment entered in favor of the Defendants and that the Defendants and Lead Plaintiff and the Members of the Class shall be restored to their litigation positions as of January 28, 2020 and the Settlement Fund shall be promptly returned.
Study Period (a) The Acquiror shall have the right, until 5:00 p.m. on the last day of the Study Period, and thereafter if the Acquiror notifies the Contributor that the Acquiror has elected to proceed to Closing in the manner described below, to enter upon the Real Property and to perform, at the Acquiror's expense, such economic, surveying, engineering, environmental, topographic and marketing tests, studies and investigations as the Acquiror may deem appropriate. If such tests, studies and investigations warrant, in the Acquiror's sole, absolute and unreviewable discretion, the acquisition of the Property for the purposes contemplated by the Acquiror, then the Acquiror may elect to proceed to Closing and shall so notify the Contributor prior to the expiration of the Study Period. If for any reason the Acquiror does not so notify the Contributor of its determination to proceed to Closing prior to the expiration of the Study Period, or if the Acquiror notifies the Contributor, in writing, prior to the expiration of the Study Period that it has determined not to proceed to Closing, this Agreement automatically shall terminate, the Acquiror shall be released from any further liability or obligation under this Agreement.
(b) During the Study Period, the Contributor shall make available to the Acquiror, its agents, auditors, engineers, attorneys and other designees, for inspection copies of all existing architectural and engineering studies, surveys, title insurance policies, zoning and site plan materials, correspondence, environmental audits and other related materials or information if any, relating to the Property which are in, or come into, the Contributor's possession or control.
(c) The Acquiror hereby indemnifies and defends the Contributor against any loss, damage or claim arising from entry upon the Real Property by the Acquiror or any agents, contractors or employees of the Acquiror. The Acquiror, at its own expense, shall restore any damage to the Real Property caused by any of the tests or studies made by the Acquiror.
(d) During the Study Period, the Acquiror, at its expense, shall cause an examination of title to the Property to be made, and, prior to the expiration of the Study Period, shall notify the Contributor of any defects in title shown by such examination that the Acquiror is unwilling to accept. At or prior to Closing, the Contributor shall notify the Acquiror whether the Contributor is willing to cure such defects. Contributor may cure, but shall not be obligated to cure such defects. If such defects consist of deeds of trust, mechanics' liens, tax liens or other liens or charges in a fixed sum or capable of computation as a fixed sum, the Contributor, at its option, shall either pay and discharge (in which event, the Escrow Agent is authorized to pay and discharge at Closing) such defects at Closing, or provide bonds or indemnities in favor of the Title Company in order to remove such items from the Title Policy at Closing. If the Contributor is unwilling or unable to cure any other such defects by Closing, the Acquiror shall elect (1) to waive such defects and proceed to Closing without any abatement in the Consideration or (2) to terminate this Agreement. The Contributor shall not, after the date of this Agreement, subject the Property to any liens, encumbrances, covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements or other title matters or seek any zoning changes or take any other action which may affect or modify the status of title without the Acquiror's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All title matters revealed by the Acquiror's title examination and not objected to by the Acquiror as provided above shall be deemed Permitted Title Exceptions. If Acquiror shall fail to examine title and notify the Contributor of any such title objections by the end of the Study Period, all such title exceptions (other than those rendering title unmarketable and those that are to be paid at Closing as provided above) shall be deemed Permitted Title Exceptions.

Seller agrees that, during the Inspection Period, Seller will allow Purchaser and Purchaser's agents to conduct interviews with the Tenants set forth on Schedule 5.1 attached hereto and made a part hereof, and with those certain Tenants which Purchaser notifies Seller in writing during the Inspection Period that Purchaser desires to conduct interviews and which Seller consents to, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that such interviews shall take place during normal business hours after reasonable notice (which may be by telephone) to Seller, and such interviews shall be conducted only in the presence of one of Seller's representatives. Not withstanding the foregoing, (a) the costs and expenses of Purchaser's investigation shall be borne solely by Purchaser, (b) prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall restore the Property to the condition which existed prior to Purchaser's entry thereon and investigation thereof to the extent the condition of the Property was affected by or as a result of the actions of Purchaser or its agents, contractors or representatives, (c) Purchaser shall not, in Seller's reasonable opinion, materially interfere, interrupt or disrupt the operation of Seller's business on the Property and, further, such access by Purchaser and/or its agents shall be subject to the rights of Tenants under Tenant Leases, (d) in the event the transaction contemplated by this Contract does not close for any reason, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a descriptive listing of all tests, reports and inspections conducted by Purchaser with respect to the Property and deliver copies thereof to Seller (excluding, however, any proprietary development or marketing materials), (e) Purchaser shall not permit any mechanic's or materialman's liens or any other liens to attach to the Property by reason of the performance of any work or the purchase of any materials by Purchaser or any other party on Purchaser's behalf in connection with any studies or tests conducted pursuant to this Section 5.1, (f) Purchaser shall give notice (which may be by telephone) to Seller a reasonable time prior to entry onto the Property and shall permit Seller to have a representative present during all investigations and inspections conducted with respect to the Property, and (g) Purchaser shall take all reasonable actions and implement all protections necessary to ensure that all actions taken in connection with the investigations and inspections of the Property, and all equipment, materials and substances generated, used or brought onto the Property pose no material threat to the safety of persons or the environment and cause no damage to the Property or other property of Seller or other persons. All information made available by Seller to Purchaser in accordance with this Contract or obtained by Purchaser in the course of its investigations shall be treated as confidential information by Purchaser, and, prior to the purchase of the Property by Purchaser, Purchaser shall use its best efforts to prevent its agents and employees from divulging such information to any third parties except (i) as reasonably necessary to third parties engaged by Purchaser for the limited purpose of analyzing and investigating such information for the purpose of consummating the transaction contemplated by this Contract, including Purchaser's attorneys and representatives, prospective lenders and engineers or (ii) as may required by applicable law, unless such information is generally available to the public or is disclosed by a party other than Purchaser or its agents. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless for, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, causes of action, damages, liens, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) incident to, resulting from or in any way arising out of any of Purchaser's and its agents', contractors' and representatives' activities on the Property, including, without limitation, any tests or inspections conducted by Purchaser or its agents, contractors or representatives on the Property. The agreements contained in this Section 5.1 shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein and shall also survive any termination of this Contract.

Contract Renegotiation, Suspension, or Termination Due to Change in Funding If the funds DSHS relied upon to establish this Contract or Program Agreement are withdrawn, reduced or limited, or if additional or modified conditions are placed on such funding, after the effective date of this contract but prior to the normal completion of this Contract or Program Agreement:
a. At DSHS’s discretion, the Contract or Program Agreement may be renegotiated under the revised funding conditions.
b. At DSHS’s discretion, DSHS may give notice to Contractor to suspend performance when DSHS determines that there is reasonable likelihood that the funding insufficiency may be resolved in a timeframe that would allow Contractor’s performance to be resumed prior to the normal completion date of this contract.
(1) During the period of suspension of performance, each party will inform the other of any conditions that may reasonably affect the potential for resumption of performance.
(2) When DSHS determines that the funding insufficiency is resolved, it will give Contractor written notice to resume performance. Upon the receipt of this notice, Contractor will provide written notice to DSHS informing DSHS whether it can resume performance and, if so, the date of resumption. For purposes of this subsubsection, “written notice” may include email.
(3) If the Contractor’s proposed resumption date is not acceptable to DSHS and an acceptable date cannot be negotiated, DSHS may terminate the contract by giving written notice to Contractor.

DSHS shall be liable only for payment in accordance with the terms of this Contract for services rendered prior to the retroactive date of termination.
c. DSHS may immediately terminate this Contract by providing written notice to the Contractor. The termination shall be effective on the date specified in the termination notice.

Right to Terminate Following Event of Default If at any time an Event of Default with respect to a party (the “Defaulting Party”) has occurred and is then continuing, the other party (the “Non-defaulting Party”) may, by not more than 20 days notice to the Defaulting Party specifying the relevant Event of Default, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions. If, however, “Automatic Early Termination” is specified in the Schedule as applying to a party, then an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions will occur immediately upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1), (3), (5), (6) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8), and as of the time immediately preceding the institution of the relevant proceeding or the presentation of the relevant petition upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(4) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8).
Termination Date Determination Seller will not designate the Termination Date (as defined in the Receivables Sale Agreement), or send any written notice to Originator in respect thereof, without the prior written consent of the Agent, except with respect to the occurrence of such Termination Date arising pursuant to Section 5.1(d) of the Receivables Sale Agreement.
