(i) [reserved];
(ii) from the date of this Agreement until the Tender Offer Purchase Time, any Governmental Entity or court of competent jurisdiction shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, injunction or other order which is in effect at the Tender Offer Purchase Time and which (A) makes the acceptance for payment of, or the payment for, some or all of the Shares illegal or otherwise prohibits consummation of the Offer, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, or (B) prohibits Acquisition from operating or deriving benefits from the majority of the value of the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to operate the Company; provided, however, that the parties shall use reasonable efforts (subject to the proviso in Section 5.6(b)) to cause any such decree, judgment or other order to be vacated or lifted prior to September 30, 2000;
(iii) [reserved];
(iv) the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall not be true and correct on the date of this Agreement or the Company shall have breached or failed in any respect to perform or comply with any material obligation, agreement or covenant required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by it at or prior to such time except, where the failure of representations and warranties (without regard to materiality qualifications therein contained) to be true and correct, or the performance or compliance with such obligations, agreements or covenants, would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect;

The failure by Parent or Acquisition (or any affiliate of Acquisition) at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights will not be deemed a waiver of any right and each right will be deemed an ongoing right which may be asserted at any time and from time to time.

(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.
