8.03 Assignment. This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of
the Parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors,
administrators, and representatives; provided, however, that nothing contained
in this Section 8.03 shall be deemed to permit any transfer other than in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement and all of its
provisions and conditions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Parties
to this Agreement, and nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will
be construed to give any person, other than the Parties to this Agreement, any
legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this
Agreement or any provision of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Investor, may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any Affiliate
thereof, provided that any such assignment shall not release such Party from any
of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent such obligations are not

12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8.04 Entire Agreement; Several Obligations. This Agreement, including the terms
of the agreements contemplated hereby and referred to herein contain the entire
agreement by and between the Company, the Issuer and the Investors with respect
to the Transactions and supersedes all prior agreements and representations,
written or oral, with respect thereto. To the extent there is an inconsistency
between the provisions in this Agreement and the agreements contemplated hereby
and referred to herein, the provisions in this Agreement shall control.

8.05 Waivers and Amendments.

(a) Any provision of this Agreement (including its Exhibits, Annexes, Schedules,
and any attachments thereto) may be amended or waived, if, and only if, such
amendment or waiver is in writing and signed by (i) the Affinion Parties;
(ii) Investors having, in the aggregate, a Voting Percentage equal to at least
70%; (iii) if any amendment or waiver increases the Investment Amount or
decreases the Financing Premium of an Investor set forth in this Agreement,
Investors having, in the aggregate, a Voting Percentage equal to at least 85%
and (iv) if any amendment or waiver materially disproportionately adversely
affects an Investor (as compared to any other Investor), such Investor.

(b) Any waiver of any obligation by the Affinion Parties shall be signed by the
Investors. Any waiver by any of the Affinion Parties need not be signed by any
Investor.

(c) No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial
exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided
shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

8.06 Choice of Laws; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. The
validity of this Agreement, the construction, interpretation, and enforcement
hereof, and the rights of the Parties hereto with respect to all matters arising
hereunder or related hereto shall be determined under, governed by, and
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New
York without regard to any conflicts of laws principles (but including and
giving effect to Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations
Law) that would result in the application of the law of another jurisdiction.
Each Party to this Agreement agrees that, in connection with any legal suit or
proceeding arising with respect to this Agreement, it shall submit to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York or the applicable New York state court located in New York
County and agrees to venue in such courts. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY.

8.07 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts
and by different Parties and separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered, shall be deemed an original, and all of which, when
taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by electronic means
shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this
Agreement.

8.08 Headings. The section headings of this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed to be part of this
Agreement or otherwise affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

8.09 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or
unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of
this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this
Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in
full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

 

13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8.10 Termination. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties hereto,
the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall terminate:

(a) upon the termination of the Support Agreement pursuant to its terms;

(b) if the Company and the Investors agree to terminate this Agreement;

(c) on the date on which the Exchange Offer and the Rights Offering in the
Recapitalization are consummated; or

(d) on the date on which the Rights Offering in the In-Court Restructuring is
consummated in accordance with the Plan.

Regardless of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.10,
(i) the Parties shall remain liable for breaches of this Agreement prior to its
termination and (ii) the Company and the Issuer shall remain liable for the
indemnity and reimbursement obligations set forth in Section 5.04.

8.11 No Interpretation Against Drafter. This Agreement is the product of
negotiations between the Parties hereto represented by counsel, and any rules of
construction relating to interpretation against the drafter of an agreement
shall not apply to this Agreement and are expressly waived.

8.12 Specific Performance. Without limiting the rights of each Party hereto to
pursue all other legal and equitable rights available to such Party for any
other Party’s failure to perform each of its obligations under this Agreement,
it is understood and agreed by each of the Parties that any breach of or
threatened breach of this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm for
which money damages would not be an adequate remedy and, accordingly, the
Parties agree that, in addition to any other remedies, each non-breaching Party
shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable
relief for any such breach or threatened breach.

8.13 No Recourse Against Related Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the Parties’ Related Parties or
any of their Related Parties (in each case other than the Affinion Parties, the
Investor or any of their respective assignees under this Agreement) shall have
any liability, personal or otherwise, or obligation relating to or arising out
of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for any
breach, loss, or damage for (i) any damages suffered as a result of the failure
of the Exchange Offer or the Rights Offering to be consummated and (ii) any
other damages suffered as a result of or under this Agreement and the
Transactions (or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be
made in connection herewith or therewith). As used herein, “Related Parties” of
a person or entity means any of its former, current, and/or future direct or
indirect equity holders, controlling persons, stockholders, directors, officers,
employees, agents, advisors, Affiliates, subsidiaries, members, managers,
general or limited partners or assignees.

8.14 [Reserved].

8.15 Defaulting Investors. At any time following the date hereof and prior to
the Closing Date, if any Investor has materially breached this Agreement,
including any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein and, if such
provision can be cured, has not been cured within 5 days of notice from the
Affinion Parties or an Investor that has not materially breached this Agreement
(such defaulting Investor, a “Defaulting Investor”), (i) the non-Defaulting
Investors shall have the obligation, based on relative amount of the Defaulting
Investor’s Purchase Percentage assumed, to acquire such Defaulting Investors’
Purchase Percentage (provided, that to the extent Elliott is a Defaulting
Investor, the acquisition obligation set forth in this clause (i) shall not
apply) and (ii) prior to any acquisition under clause (i), (x) such Defaulting
Investors’ Purchase Percentage shall not be included in any calculation for
purposes of determining any vote or otherwise under this Agreement other than
Section 7.01(b) of this Agreement or the Support Agreement and (y) such
Defaulting Investors shall not have any rights under this Agreement.

 

14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Upon the acquisition of any Defaulting Investors’ Purchase Percentage, the
Investors and the Affinion Parties shall prepare an updated Schedule A. Each of
the Affinion Parties and the Investors shall cooperate in good faith to
negotiate any reallocation of the Purchase Percentages in connection with the
acquisition of a Defaulting Investors’ Purchase Percentage in accordance with
this Section 8.15. For the avoidance of doubt, the performing Investors that
acquire such Defaulting Investors’ Purchase Percentage, shall be entitled to
their pro rata amount, based on such Investor’s Purchase Percentage (adjusted
for the removal of the Defaulting Investors’ Purchase Percentage), of the
Financing Premium of such Defaulting Investor.
