By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the parties to the assignment thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) the assignee under such Assignment and Assumption is acquiring Notes for its own account, for investment and not with a view to any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act; (ii) such assignee (A) understands that the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and the Notes are being issued by the Issuer in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and (B) agrees that it will not sell all or any part of the Notes and the Notes may not be offered or sold, except pursuant to effective registration statements under the Securities Act or pursuant to applicable exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and in compliance with applicable State laws; (iii) such assignee further understands that the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 144 (the provisions of which are known to the assignee) promulgated under the Securities Act depends on the satisfaction of various conditions, and that, if applicable, Rule 144 may afford the basis for sales only in limited amounts; (iv) such assignee is an “Accredited Investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act). The financial position of such assignee is such that it can afford to bear the economic risk of holding the Notes. Such assignee can afford to suffer the complete loss of its investment in the Notes. The knowledge and experience of such assignee in financial and business matters is such that it is capable of evaluating the risks of the investment in the Notes. Such assignee acknowledges that no representations, express or implied, are being made with respect to the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, the Notes or otherwise, other than those expressly set forth herein.

As used herein, the term “employee benefit plan” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 3 of ERISA, and the term “plan” shall have the meaning assigned thereto in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code.
