 of Apollo’s receipt of the notice                                                                                                                                             
 of intervening event, Bridge was, and caused its representatives to have been, reasonably available to negotiate with Apollo and its representatives in good faith to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of the merger agreement and the 
 transactions in response to such intervening event; and                                                                                                                                                                                                 |

| • |     | following the end of such adverse recommendation change notice period, the special committee (or the Bridge                                                                                                                                               
 Board, acting upon the direction of the special committee) determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, taking into account any changes to the merger agreement and the transactions offered in writing by 
 Apollo in response to the notice of intervening event, that the failure to make such change in the Bridge Board recommendation would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law.                                                      |

An “intervening event” means any effect (other than an acquisition proposal) that is unknown to the Bridge Board or the special committee as of the date of the merger agreement, or if known, the material consequences of which were not known by or reasonably foreseeable to, the Bridge Board or the special committee as of the date of the merger agreement. However, the following effects will not constitute an intervening event:

| • |     | the receipt, existence or terms of an acquisition proposal or any matter relating thereto or consequence thereof; 
 or                                                                                                                |

| • |     | any change, in and of itself, in the price or trading volume of the Bridge capital stock or any other securities                                                                                                                                   
 of Bridge or any change in credit rating of Bridge or the fact, in and of itself, that Bridge meets or exceeds internal or published estimates, projections, forecasts or predictions for any period (provided, that the underlying causes of such 
 changes in this clause may constitute or be taken into account in determining whether there has been an intervening event).                                                                                                                        |

Governmental Approvals Covenant Apollo and Bridge have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to:
