Absence of Litigation. There is no action, suit, claim, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or their officers or directors in their capacity as such, that could have a Material Adverse Effect. [Schedule 3(i)] contains a complete list and summary description of any pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened proceeding against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, without regard to whether it would have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing.

Leaves of Absence. The Committee may establish rules regarding when leaves of absence will be considered a termination of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where a period of leave exceeds ninety (90) days, a Participant’s employment relationship with the Company or a Participating Subsidiary will be deemed to have terminated on the ninety-first (91st) day of such leave unless the Participant’s right to reemployment is guaranteed either by statute or contract.

Absence of Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents nor consummation of the transactions herein or therein contemplated nor performance of or compliance with the terms and conditions hereof or thereof will # violate any law, # conflict with or result in a breach of or a default under any agreement or instrument to which ​ is a party or by which either of them or any of their properties (now owned or hereafter acquired) may be subject or bound or # result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge, security interest or encumbrance upon any property (now owned or hereafter acquired) of ​.

Absence of Defaults. No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred that is continuing immediately prior to and after giving effect to this Amendment.

Leave of Absence. The Administrator shall have the discretion to determine whether and to what extent vesting for Restricted Stock Units shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence; provided, however, that in the absence of such determination, such vesting shall be tolled during any such unpaid leave (unless otherwise required by the Applicable Laws). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of military leave, the vesting of Restricted Stock Units shall toll during any unpaid portion of such leave, provided that, upon a Participant’s returning from military leave (under conditions that would entitle him or her to protection upon such return under the Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act), he or she shall be given vesting credit with respect to Restricted Stock Units to the same extent as would have applied had the Participant continued to provide services to the Company (or any Affiliate) throughout the leave on the same terms as he or she was providing services immediately prior to such leave.

Absence of Designation. If no designation of Beneficiaries is in effect at the time of a Participant’s death, if no designated Beneficiary survives the Participant, or if the Participant’s designation of Beneficiaries conflicts with law, then the Participant’s estate shall be the Beneficiary entitled to receive all Deferred Compensation then unpaid. The Committee may direct the Company or any Participating Employer to retain such unpaid Deferred Compensation without liability for any interest thereon or other earnings or gains thereon, until the rights thereto are determined, or the Committee may direct the Company or Participating Subsidiary to pay such unpaid Deferred Compensation into any court of appropriate jurisdiction, and such payment shall completely discharge all liability of the Company and, if applicable, any Participating Employer for unpaid Deferred Compensation.

Absence of Changes. Since the date of the Balance Sheet, # there have been no events, changes or conditions which, individually or in the aggregate, have had or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Seller, the Seller Business or any of the Acquired Assets or the Assumed Liabilities; # Seller has in all material respects conducted the Seller Business in the Ordinary Course of Business; and # neither the Acquired Assets nor the Seller Business have incurred any material liabilities except in the Ordinary Course of Business.

Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Options granted hereunder to employees, officers and Directors shall be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence.

Absence of Litigation. To the knowledge of Seller, no inquiry, action, suit or proceeding has been asserted, threatened or instituted # seeking to restrain or prohibit the carrying out of the Transactions or to challenge the validity of such Transactions or any part thereof or # as a result of which the Company would be deprived of any of the material benefits of the ownership of Seller Stock.

Leaves of Absence. The employment relationship is treated as continuing intact while Executive is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence if the period of such leave does not exceed six (6) months, or, if longer, so long as Executive retains a right to reemployment with the Company under an applicable statute or by contract. A leave of absence constitutes a bona fide leave of absence only if there is a reasonable expectation that Executive will return to perform services for the Company. If the period of leave exceeds six (6) months and Executive does not retain a right to reemployment under an applicable statute or by contract, the employment relationship is deemed to terminate on the first date immediately following such six (6)-month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where a leave of absence is due to any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six (6) months, where such impairment causes Executive to be unable to perform the duties of his or her position of employment or any substantially similar position of employment, a twenty-nine (29)-month period of absence shall be substituted for such six (6)-month period.
