Allen has determined that (A) it is prohibited from doing so by a legal, contractual or regulatory restriction applicable to it or its affiliates or to the Buyer, the Issuer or their respective affiliates and has received advice of legal counsel to such effect; or (B) a material adverse change in the financial markets, in the market activity in the Stock or in the internal systems of Allen or one of its affiliates, an outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other crisis or calamity has occurred (in each case, the effect of which is such as to make it, in the sole good faith judgment of Allen, impracticable for Allen to purchase Stock); or (C) a trading suspension with respect to the Stock by the Securities and Exchange Commission or The Nasdaq National Market or a delisting of the Stock or a banking moratorium has occurred; if Allen cannot effect a purchase for any of such reasons, Allen shall effect such purchase as promptly as practical after the cessation or termination of such cause, subject to the restrictions contained elsewhere in this agreement (including Exhibit A);

5.
Suspension.  Purchases under this Trading Plan shall be suspended as follows:
(a)
Promptly after the date on which Allen receives notice from the Buyer or the Issuer of legal, contractual or regulatory restrictions applicable to the Buyer, the Issuer or their respective affiliates that would prevent Allen from purchasing Stock under this Trading Plan (such notice merely stating that there is an applicable restriction without specifying the reasons for the restriction), it being understood that the Buyer becoming aware of material non-public information shall not constitute such a restriction.
(b)
In the event that the Allen 10b5‑1 Group becomes aware of material nonpublic information concerning Issuer or the Stock, Allen may be required by applicable law or, in its sole good faith discretion based on advice of counsel, find it advisable, to suspend repurchases under this Trading Plan.  In such case, Allen shall promptly notify the Buyer of the suspension of purchases under this Trading Plan (such notice merely stating that there is an applicable restriction without specifying the reasons for the restriction).
Any such suspension shall remain in effect only for so long as any of the circumstances described in clauses (a) through (b) above shall remain in effect.

the close of business on February 25, 2020;
(c)
promptly after the date on which Allen receives notice from the Buyer or the Issuer of the termination of this Trading Plan; or

upon the reasonable determination by Allen based on advice of counsel, or promptly after the reasonable determination by the Buyer and notice to Allen, that this Trading Plan does not comply with Rule 10b5‑1.
7.
