required under the Existing Credit Agreement) thereto) and payment by such
assignee of the purchase price required by Section 2.22(b) of the Existing
Credit Agreement. For purposes hereof, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
agree that this Agreement shall constitute an Assignment Agreement for purposes
