 any obligation under the merger agreement has principally caused or resulted in such governmental order or other applicable law); or                                                                                       |

 contained in the merger agreement, which breach results in the failure to satisfy certain conditions to the obligations of Apollo and Merger Subs to complete the mergers (in the case of a breach by Bridge) or certain conditions to the obligations of 
 Bridge to complete the mergers (in the case of a breach by Apollo), and such breach is incapable of being cured prior to the third business day prior to the end date or, if capable of being cured, has not been cured within thirty days after written
