 stockholders and Bridge stockholders cannot be certain that Apollo or Bridge will be able to find a party willing to enter into a transaction on terms equivalent to or more attractive than the terms that the other party has agreed to in the merger 
 agreement;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
