as of the earlier of the following dates:

and ceases to conduct campaign activities with respect to that election; 
or,
    (ii) The date on which the opposing candidate is, or becomes, 
ineligible for nomination or election to that office by operation of 
law.

this part, to the extent that such increased limit is attributable to 
the opposing candidate who has ceased to be a candidate.

committees must
