-1-

Share in and to all of the respective Assignors’ rights and obligations in their respective capacities as Existing Lenders under the Credit Agreement and any other documents or instruments delivered pursuant thereto to the extent related to the amount and Pro Rata Share identified in Schedule I hereto that would result in Assignors and Assignees having the respective Commitments (and applicable Pro Rata Share thereof) set forth in Schedule I attached hereto (including without limitation any letters of credit and guaranties provided in connection with the Credit Agreement), and (ii) to the extent permitted to be assigned under applicable law, all claims, suits, causes of action and any other right of the respective Assignors (in their respective capacities as Exiting Lender or Existing Lenders, as the case may be) 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, and in proportion to, the rights and obligations sold and assigned pursuant to clause (i) above (the rights and obligations sold and assigned by any Assignor to any Assignee pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above being referred to herein collectively as an "Assigned Interest" and referenced on Schedule I). Each such sale and assignment is without recourse to any Assignor and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, without representation or warranty by any Assignor.
