the opinion of any Party acting reasonably, there is no reasonable prospect of such refusal or deemed refusal being successfully challenged) or waived on or before the Long-Stop Date: 


 

	 	(i)	the Parties may agree in writing to proceed to Closing to the extent reasonably practicable and to fix a new Long-Stop Date (not being more than 90 Business Days after

Purchaser at the AIB EGM and such recommendation shall be maintained.

such a general meeting has not been held by the Long-Stop Date, the Purchaser shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Sellers, to terminate this Agreement. On the
10th Business Day following receipt of such notice EIL

	 	(ii)	solicit, enter into, continue or consummate discussions and/or negotiations with any person other than the Purchaser or any person or persons connected with the
