(ii) Broker, in its sole discretion, has determined that it is prohibited from doing so by a legal, contractual or regulatory restriction applicable to it or its affiliates or to Seller or Seller’s affiliates; or

(iv) Broker has received notice from the Seller of the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 1.5(b) above; or

(b) Broker shall withdraw Stock from the Plan Account as appropriate to effect sales of Stock under this Sales Plan.

(c) To the extent that any Stock remains in the Plan Account after the end of the Plan Sales Period or upon termination of this Sales Plan, Broker agrees to return such Stock promptly to the Issuer's transfer agent for re-legending to the extent that such Stock would then be subject to transfer restrictions in the hands of Seller.
