Upon the effectiveness of the Merger, ZH2LX shall be deemed to be the “Luxembourg Borrower” under each Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the same force and effect as if it had executed such Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the Luxembourg Borrower is a party as the “Luxembourg Borrower” on the Effective Date of each Credit Agreement.  ZH2LX hereby agrees to and shall be bound by all the terms and provisions of each Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents applicable to it as the Luxembourg Borrower thereunder.

(iii)The execution, delivery and performance by ZH2LX of this Agreement (and the performance by it of its obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action, and do not and will not contravene the terms of any of ZH2LX's constitutive documents.

(iv)This Agreement, each Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute valid and binding obligations of ZH2LX, enforceable against ZH2LX in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

(b)  The Company represents and warrants to the General Administrative Agents and the Lenders that, on the date hereof and on the date of the Merger (and after giving effect thereto), no Default or Event of Default exists under either Credit Agreement.

3.Conditions to Effectiveness.  This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been duly executed and delivered by each party hereto and when the General Administrative Agent shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:
