  v. the date the Issuer or any other person publicly announces a tender or exchange offer with respect to the Stock or a merger, acquisition, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar business combination or transaction as a result of the consummation of which the Stock would be exchanged or converted into cash, securities or other property.

 

  vi. the Purchaser’s or TOUR’s reasonable determination that: (a) the Purchase Plan does not comply with Rule 10b5-1 or other applicable securities laws; or (b) the Purchaser has not, or TOUR has not, complied with the Purchase Plan, Rule 10b5-1 or other applicable securities laws.
