Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement, the RSA, or the Trade Confirm (as defined below), as applicable.

Except as expressly provided herein, for an agreed consideration, the Assignor irrevocably sells and assigns to the Assignee, and the Assignee hereby irrevocably purchases and assumes from the Assignor, subject to and in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, the Credit Agreement and the "Terms and Conditions" attached as Exhibit A to the trade confirmation related to, and dated on or around the date of this Assignment (the "**Trade Confirm**"), (i) all of the Assignor's rights and obligations in its capacity as a Lender under the Credit Agreement and any other documents or instruments delivered pursuant thereto to the extent related to the amount and percentage interest identified below of all of the Assignor**'**s outstanding rights and obligations under the respective facilities identified below (including, without limitation, any guarantees included in such facilities), and (ii) to the extent permitted to be assigned under applicable law, all claims, suits, causes of action and any other right of the Assignor (in its capacity as a Lender) against any Person, whether known or unknown, arising under or in connection with the Credit Agreement, any other documents or instruments delivered pursuant thereto or the loan transactions governed thereby or in any way based on or related to any of the foregoing, including, but not limited to, contract claims, tort claims, malpractice claims, statutory claims and all other claims at law or in equity related to the rights and obligations sold and assigned pursuant to clause (i) above (the rights and obligations sold and assigned by the Assignor to the Assignee pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above being referred to herein collectively as the "**Assigned Interest**").
