AGREEMENT

In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained in this Agreement and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows.

SECTION 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms defined in the Bridge Facility Agreement and not defined herein are used herein (including in the Recital hereto) with the meanings so defined.

SECTION 2. Assignment and Assumption. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the Debt Assumption set forth in Section 4.02 (Conditions Precedent to the Debt Assumption) of the Bridge Facility Agreement, including (without limitation) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Assignor and the Assignee, effective as of the date hereof (the “Assumption Date”) immediately upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement:

2.1 Assignment and Assumption. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.5 below, Assignor hereby irrevocably assigns and transfers to Assignee all of Assignor’s rights, title and interests and duties, liabilities and obligations under the Bridge Facility Agreement and the other Loan Documents and Assignee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts such rights, title and interests and assumes such duties, liabilities and obligations from Assignor on the Assumption Date on the terms contained herein, excluding any claims, liabilities or obligations arising from any failure of Assignor to perform any of its covenants, agreements, commitments and/or obligations to be performed by Assignor on or prior to the Closing Date under the Bridge Facility Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that interest accrued under the Bridge Facility Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether prior to, on, or after the date hereof, shall be the sole obligation of the Assignee. For the avoidance of doubt, fees, costs and expenses (including any indemnification obligations) accruing up to and including the Closing Date shall be paid by the Assignor, and fees, costs and expenses (including any indemnification obligations) accruing after the Closing Date shall be assumed and paid by the Assignee. The Assignee hereby confirms and agrees that the Bridge Facility Agreement and the other Loan Documents are, and shall continue on and after the Assumption Date to be, in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms and are hereby ratified and confirmed by the Assignee in all respects. If the Assignor makes a payment of principal, interest or fees to a Lender under the Loans on or after the Assumption Date,

Assignee shall become liable to the Assignor for reimbursement of such payment on the same terms under which the Assignee would be liable to the Lenders under the Bridge Facility Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights of the Assignor against the Assignee in respect of such liability and reimbursement shall in all respects be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all amounts owed by the Assignee to the Lenders under the Bridge Facility Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, by executing and delivering this Agreement, Assignee hereby (i) becomes a party to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement as a Grantor (as defined therein) thereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Grantor (as defined therein) and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby expressly assumes all obligations and liabilities of a Grantor (as defined therein) thereunder, and (ii) grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of Assignee’s Obligations, a security interest and Lien in all of the Collateral (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) of Assignee, wherever located and now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by Assignee or in which Assignee now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest.

2.2 Release of Assignor of Duties, Liabilities and Obligations. Pursuant to Section 9.10(f) and Section 11.06(a)(i) of the Bridge Facility Agreement, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders and without recourse or warranty, hereby agrees that, except as provided in Section 2.1 and Section 2.5, the Assignor is released from all duties, liabilities and obligations under the Bridge Facility Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

2.3 Lender’s Acceptance of Assignment and Assumption by Assignee. The Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Lenders, hereby consents to the assignment and assumption set forth in Section 2.1 above, and, except as provided in Section 2.1 and Section 2.5 hereof, accepts the liability of Assignee as Borrower in place of the liability of Assignor as Borrower arising out of or related to the Bridge Facility Agreement or any other Loan Document and grants to Assignee the same rights under or arising out of or related to the Bridge Facility Agreement or any other Loan Document as were granted to Assignor in every way as if Assignee was and had been the Borrower instead of and in place of Assignor.

2.4 Release of Pre-Assumption Guarantors (Other Than the Post-Assumption Guarantors). Pursuant to Section 9.10 of the Bridge Facility Agreement, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders and without recourse or warranty, hereby agrees that (x) each Pre-Assumption Guarantor (other than the Post-Assumption Guarantors and other than Assignee) is released from all of its duties, liabilities and obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (y) the Guarantee of each Pre-Assumption Guarantor (other than the Post-Assumption Guarantors) is hereby terminated.

2.5 Continuing Agreements of the Assignor and Pre-Assumption Guarantors (Other Than the Post-Assumption Guarantors). The provisions set forth in Sections 11.04(d) (waiver of consequential damages), 11.14 (governing law, jurisdiction, etc.), 11.15 (waiver of jury trial) and 11.17 (no advisory or fiduciary responsibility) of the Bridge Facility Agreement will remain agreements of the Assignor and the Pre-Assumption Guarantors (other than the Post-Assumption Guarantors) following the Assumption Date, and each of the above-referenced sections of the Bridge Facility Agreement shall be agreements of Assignee and the Post-Assumption Guarantors following the Assumption Date.
