Dear Sir / Madam:

The purpose of this letter agreement (this “Confirmation”) is to set forth the terms and conditions of the Transaction entered into between ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. (“GS&Co.”) and Iconix Brand Group, Inc. (“Counterparty”) on the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction”). This Confirmation constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the Master Agreement specified below.

The definitions and provisions contained in the 2006 ISDA Definitions (the “Swap Definitions”) and the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions” and, together with the Swap Definitions, the “Definitions”), in each case as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the Swap Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the Equity Definitions will govern, and in the event of any inconsistency between the Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will govern. References herein to the “Transaction” shall be deemed to be references to a “Share Option Transaction” for purposes of the Equity Definitions and a “Swap Transaction” for the purposes of the Swap Definitions.

This Confirmation, together with the Agreement (as defined below), evidences a complete and binding agreement between Counterparty and GS&Co. as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. This Confirmation shall be subject to, and form part of, an agreement in the 1992 form of the ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency Cross Border) (the “Master Agreement” or “Agreement”) as if we had executed an agreement in such form (but without any Schedule and with the elections specified in the “ISDA Master Agreement” Section of this Confirmation) on the Trade Date. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of that Agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the Transaction. The parties hereby agree that the Transaction evidenced by this Confirmation shall be the only Transaction subject to and governed by the Agreement.

In the event of any inconsistency between the Note Indenture (as defined below) and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern. For the avoidance of doubt, references herein to sections of the Note Indenture are based on the draft of the Note Indenture most recently reviewed by the parties at the time of this Confirmation. If any relevant sections of the Note Indenture are changed, added, or renumbered following execution of this Confirmation, the parties will amend this Confirmation in good faith to preserve the economic intent of the parties.

Electing Party:		Buyer

Settlement Date:		Subject to the delivery of an Exercise Notice and, if applicable, a Supplemental Exercise Notice to the Seller, the third (3rd) Exchange Business Day following the final Trading Day in the applicable Conversion Reference Period in respect of the relevant Conversion Date.

Net Share Settlement:		In lieu of the obligations set forth in Sections 8.1 and 9.1 of the Equity Definitions, Seller shall deliver to Buyer on the related Settlement Date (i) a number of Shares equal to the related Net Share Settlement Amount, provided that in the event that the number of Shares calculated comprises any fractional Share, only whole Shares shall be delivered and an amount equal to the value of such fractional Share shall be payable by Seller to Buyer in cash, and (ii) (x) an amount in cash equal to the sum of the Daily Net Cash Portion (as defined in the Note Indenture) for each day of the Conversion Reference Period that Buyer is required to pay under the Note Indenture in respect of Reference Notes with an aggregate principal amount equal to the Conversion Amount for such Conversion Date multiplied by (y) the Applicable Portion of the Reference Notes, provided that the delivery obligation set forth in clause (i) and (ii) of this paragraph shall be determined excluding any Shares or cash that Counterparty is obligated to deliver to holders of the applicable Reference Notes as a result of any discretionary adjustments to the Conversion Rate (as defined in the Note Indenture) by Counterparty pursuant to Section 5.06(a)(10) of the Note Indenture.

		If Counterparty is permitted to or required to exercise discretion under the terms of the Note Indenture with respect to any determination, calculation or adjustment relevant to conversion of the Reference Notes including, but not limited to, the volume-weighted average price of the Shares, Counterparty shall consult with GS&Co. with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, Counterparty shall not be obligated to comply with any requests, letters or communications from GS&Co. in respect thereof and shall have the right to make any such determinations, calculations or adjustments in its sole discretion. The provisions of Sections 9.1(c), 9.4 (except that “Settlement Date” shall be as defined above, unless a Settlement Disruption Event prevents delivery of such Shares on that date), 9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 9.11 and 9.12 of the Equity Definitions shall apply to any delivery of Shares hereunder, provided that the Representation and Agreement in Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions shall be modified by excluding any representations therein relating to restrictions, obligations, limitations or requirements under applicable securities laws as a result of the fact that Buyer is the issuer of the Shares.

Net Cash Settlement:		In lieu of the obligations set forth in Section 8.1 of the Equity Definitions, on the Settlement Date Seller shall deliver to Buyer an amount in cash equal to the related Net Cash Settlement Amount.

Net Share Settlement Amount:		For each Conversion Date, the number of Shares equal to the product of (x) the sum of the Daily Share Amounts (as defined in the Note Indenture) multiplied by (y) 100% minus the Cash Percentage (or, if no Cash Percentage is specified, zero) that Buyer is required to deliver for such Conversion Date under the Note Indenture in respect of Reference Notes with an aggregate principal amount equal to the Conversion Amount for such Conversion Date multiplied by the Applicable Portion of the Reference Notes; provided that if an Exercise Notice with respect to such Conversion Date has not been delivered to the Seller prior to the first Trading Day of the Conversion Reference Period applicable to such Conversion Date, the Net Share Settlement Amount for such Conversion Date shall be adjusted by the Calculation Agent to account for the consequences of the reduced number of Trading Days from the delivery of the Exercise Notice to the end of the applicable Conversion Reference Period with respect to such Conversion Date. No reduction of the Net Share Settlement Amount shall reduce the Net Share Settlement Amount below zero.

Net Cash Settlement Amount:

For each Conversion Date, an amount equal to the sum of the Daily Net Cash Portion (as defined in the Note Indenture) for each day of the Conversion Reference Period that Buyer is required to pay under the Note Indenture in respect of Reference Notes with an aggregate principal amount equal to the Conversion Amount for such Conversion Date multiplied by the Applicable Portion of the Reference Notes; provided that such cash amount shall be determined excluding any cash that Counterparty is obligated to deliver to holders of the applicable Reference Notes as a result of any adjustments to the Conversion Rate described in the second proviso under “Net Share Settlement” above.

If Counterparty is permitted to or required to exercise discretion under the terms of the Note Indenture with respect to any determination, calculation or adjustment relevant to conversion of the Reference Notes including, but not limited to, the volume-weighted average price of the Shares, Counterparty shall consult with GS&Co. with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, Counterparty shall not be obligated to comply with any requests, letters or communications from GS&Co. in respect thereof and shall have the right to make any such determinations, calculations or adjustments in its sole discretion.

Amendment Event. If an Amendment Event (as defined below) occurs, GS&Co. shall have the right to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement with respect to the Transaction only and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no payments shall be required hereunder in connection with such Amendment Event.

“Amendment Event” means that the Counterparty, without GS&Co.’s consent (which consent shall not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), amends, modifies, supplements or obtains a waiver of (a) any term of the Note Indenture (as in effect prior to such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver) or the Reference Notes affecting the principal amount, coupon, maturity, repurchase obligation of the Counterparty or redemption right of the Counterparty, (b) any term affecting the conversion price, conversion settlement dates or conversion conditions of the Reference Notes or any other term of the Reference Notes that adversely affects GS&Co.’s rights or increases GS&Co.’s obligations under the Transaction or (c) any term that would require consent of the holders of 100% of the principal amount of the Reference Notes to amend;

Repayment Event. If a Repayment Event (as defined below) occurs, GS&Co. shall have the right to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement with respect to the Transaction only to the extent of the principal amount of Reference Notes that cease to be outstanding as a result of such Repayment Event and to the extent GS&Co. has not designated an Early Termination Date with respect to the transaction evidenced by the Initial Note Hedge Confirmation (the “Initial Note Hedge Transaction”) and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no payments shall be required hereunder in connection with such Repayment Event.

“Repayment Event” means that (a) any Reference Notes are repurchased (whether in connection with or as a result of a fundamental change, howsoever defined, or for any other reason) by the Counterparty, (b) any Reference Notes are delivered to the Counterparty in exchange for delivery of any property or assets of the Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries (howsoever described), other than as a result of and in connection with a Conversion Date, (c) any principal of any of the Reference Notes is repaid prior to the Final Maturity Date (as defined in the Note Indenture) (whether following acceleration of the Reference Notes or otherwise), provided that no payments of cash made in respect of the conversion of a Reference Note shall be deemed a payment of principal under this clause (c), (d) any Reference Notes are exchanged by or for the benefit of the holders thereof for any other securities of the Counterparty or any of its Affiliates (or any other property, or any combination thereof) pursuant to any exchange offer or similar transaction or (e) any of the Reference Notes is surrendered by Counterparty to the trustee for cancellation, other than registration of a transfer of such Reference Notes or as a result of and in connection with a Conversion Date.

Initial Purchase Event. If an Initial Purchase Event (as defined below) occurs, the Transaction shall terminate automatically in its entirety and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, only the payments specified below shall be required hereunder in connection with such Initial Purchase Event.

“Initial Purchase Event” means that the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement between the Counterparty, Barclays Capital Inc. and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. (Barclays Capital Inc. and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ & Co., the “Initial Purchasers”), dated as of May 17, 2011, (the “Purchase Agreement”) shall fail to close for any reason by the closing date for the offering of the Reference Notes as specified in the Purchase Agreement.

If an Initial Purchase Event occurs for any reason other than a breach of the Purchase Agreement by the Initial Purchasers, then all payments previously made hereunder shall be returned to the person making such payment, including the Premium, less an amount equal to the product of (a) 365,815 Shares, (b) 0.50 and (c) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the closing price of the Shares on the Trade Date over the closing price of the Shares on the date of the Termination Event (such product, the “Break Expense”); provided that any negative amount shall be replaced by zero and provided further that, to the extent the Premium has not been paid, Buyer shall promptly pay Seller the Break Expense. Seller and ▇▇▇▇▇ agree that actual damages would be difficult to ascertain under these circumstances and that the amount of liquidated damages resulting from the determination in the preceding sentence is a good faith estimate of such damages and not a penalty.

If an Initial Purchase Event occurs due to a breach of the Purchase Agreement by the Initial Purchasers, then all payments previously made hereunder, including the Premium, promptly shall be returned to the person making such payment and no payments shall be required hereunder in connection with such Initial Purchase Event.

Staggered Settlement:

If Seller determines reasonably and in good faith that the number of Shares required to be delivered to Buyer hereunder on any Settlement Date would have resulted in the Equity Percentage (as defined below) on such date to exceed 8.5%, then Seller may, by notice to Buyer on or prior to such Settlement Date (a “Nominal Settlement Date”), elect to deliver the Shares comprising the related Net Share Settlement Amount on two or more dates (each, a “Staggered Settlement Date”) or at two or more times on the Nominal Settlement Date as follows:

in such notice, Seller will specify to Buyer the related Staggered Settlement Dates (the first of which will be such Nominal Settlement Date and the last of which will be no later than twenty (20) Trading Days following such Nominal Settlement Date) or delivery times and how it will allocate the Shares it is required to deliver hereunder among the Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times;

2.	the aggregate number of Shares that Seller will deliver to Buyer hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times will equal the number of Shares that Seller would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date; and

3.	the Net Share Settlement terms will apply on each Staggered Settlement Date, except that the Shares comprising the Net Share Settlement Amount will be allocated among such Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times as specified by Seller in the notice referred to in clause (1) above.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, solely in connection with a Staggered Settlement Date, Seller shall be entitled to deliver Shares to Buyer from time to time prior to the date on which Seller would be obligated to deliver them to Buyer pursuant to Net Share Settlement terms set forth above, and ▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to credit all such early deliveries against Seller’s obligations hereunder in the direct order in which such obligations arise. No such early delivery of Shares will accelerate or otherwise affect any of Buyer’s obligations to Seller hereunder.

Disposition of Hedge Shares:

Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the reasonable judgment of Seller based on advice of counsel, the Shares acquired by Seller for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the Transaction (the “Hedge Shares”) cannot be sold in the U.S. public market by Seller without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall, at its election: (i) in order to allow Seller to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available to Seller an effective registration statement under the Securities Act to cover the resale of such Hedge Shares and (a) enter into an agreement, in form and substance mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered offering, (b) provide accountant’s “comfort” letters in customary form for registered offerings of equity securities, (c) provide disclosure opinions of nationally recognized outside counsel to Counterparty reasonably acceptable to Seller, (d) provide other customary opinions, certificates and closing documents customary in form for registered offerings of equity securities and (e) afford Seller a reasonable opportunity to conduct a “due diligence” investigation with respect to Counterparty customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities; provided, however, that if Seller, in its reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with access to due diligence materials, the results of its due diligence investigation, or the procedures and documentation for the registered offering referred to above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this Section shall apply at the election of Counterparty; (ii) in order to allow Seller to sell the Hedge Shares in a private placement, enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller, including customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Seller, due diligence rights (for Seller or any designated buyer of the Hedge Shares from Seller), opinions and certificates and such other documentation as is customary for private placements agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Seller (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary to compensate Seller for any discount from the public market price of the Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private placement); or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from Seller at the VWAP Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by Seller. “VWAP Price” means, on any Exchange Business Day, the per Share volume-weighted average price as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page “ICON <equity> AQR” (or any successor thereto) in respect of the period from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Exchange Business Day (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one Share on such Exchange Business Day, as determined by the Calculation Agent using a volume-weighted method).

Repurchase Notices:

Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give Seller a written notice of such repurchase (a “Repurchase Notice”) on such day if following such repurchase, the Notice Percentage as determined on such day is (i) greater than 9% and (ii) greater by 0.5% than the Notice Percentage included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice, greater than the Notice Percentage as of the date hereof). In the event that Counterparty fails to provide Seller with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this section, then Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (Seller and each such person being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under applicable securities laws, including without limitation, Section 16 of the Exchange Act, relating to or arising out of such failure. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then Counterparty shall contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability. In addition, Counterparty will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all reasonable and documented expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred (after notice to Counterparty) in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement of any pending or threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such claim, action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of Counterparty. This indemnity shall survive the completion of the Transaction contemplated by this Confirmation and any assignment and delegation of the Transaction made pursuant to this Confirmation or the Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee of Seller. Counterparty will not be liable to an Indemnified Party under this provision, whether by indemnity or contribution, to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final judgment by a court to have resulted from that Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The “Notice Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (i) the numerator of which is the product of (a) the Applicable Portion of the Reference Notes, (b) the sum of the number of outstanding Reference Notes underlying the Confirmation and the number of outstanding Reference Notes underlying the Initial Note Hedge Transaction and (c) a number of Shares per Reference Note equal to the Conversion Rate (as defined in the Note Indenture) and (ii) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.

Conversion Rate Adjustment Notices

In connection with any adjustments to the Conversion Rate under the terms of the Note Indenture, Counterparty shall provide to GS&Co. a copy of the notice of adjustment required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.08 of the Note Indenture concurrently with filing of such notice with the Trustee.

Compliance with Securities Laws:	Buyer represents and agrees that, in connection with the Transaction and all related or contemporaneous sales and purchases of Shares by Buyer, ▇▇▇▇▇ has complied and will comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations each thereunder, including, without limitation, Section 9(a) of, and Rules 10b-5 and 13e and Regulation M under, the Exchange Act; provided that Buyer shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any information communicated by GS&Co. concerning GS&Co.’s market activities.

	Each party acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Transaction to it is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof. Accordingly, Buyer represents and warrants to Seller that (i) it has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Transaction and is able to bear a total loss of its investment, (ii) it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act and (iii) the disposition of the Transaction is restricted under this Confirmation, the Securities Act and state securities laws.

	Buyer further represents:

	(a) Buyer is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares);

	(b) Buyer acknowledges that as of the date hereof and without limiting the generality of Section 13.1 of the Equity Definitions, Seller is not making any representations or warranties with respect to the treatment of the Transaction under any accounting standards including ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (or any successor issue statements) or under FASB’s Liabilities & Equity Project.

Account Details:	Account for payments to Buyer: To be advised.

	Account for payment to Seller: To be advised.

	Accounts for deliveries of Shares: To be advised.

Bankruptcy Rights:	In the event of ▇▇▇▇▇’s bankruptcy, Seller’s rights in connection with the Transaction shall not exceed those rights held by common shareholders. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights with respect to any other claim arising from the Transaction prior to Buyer’s bankruptcy shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be otherwise abridged or modified in connection herewith.

Netting and Set-Off:	Obligations under the Transaction shall not be netted, recouped or set-off (including pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement) against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under the Agreement, the Transaction, any other agreement, applicable law or otherwise, and each party hereby waives any such right of set-off, netting or recoupment; provided that both parties agree that subparagraph (ii) of Section 2(c) of the Agreement shall apply to the Transaction.

Collateral:	None.

Transfer:	Buyer shall have the right to assign its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder with respect to any portion of the Transaction, subject to Seller’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that such assignment or transfer shall be subject to receipt by Seller of opinions and documents reasonably satisfactory to Seller and effected on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Seller with respect to any legal and regulatory requirements relevant to the Seller; provided further that Buyer shall not be released from its obligation to deliver any Exercise Notice or its obligations pursuant to “Disposition of Hedge Shares”, “Repurchase Notices” or “Conversion Rate Adjustment Notices” above. Buyer agrees that it shall not be unreasonable for Seller to withhold its consent to any assignment or transfer if Seller determines, based upon the advice of outside counsel, that the assignment or transfer would be inadvisable because it could cause the hedging activities of Seller, or of Buyer’s transferee, related to the transactions contemplated in connection with the issuance of the Reference Notes to fail to comply with applicable securities laws or regulations.

If at any time at which (1) the Equity Percentage exceeds 9.0% or (2) GS&Co., Goldman Group (as defined below) or any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of GS&Co. or Goldman Group (GS&Co., Goldman Group or any such person, a “Goldman Person”) under Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL Takeover Statute”) or any state or federal bank holding company or banking laws, or other federal, state or local regulations or regulatory orders applicable to ownership of Shares (“Applicable Laws”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership in excess of a number of Shares equal to (x) the number of Shares that would give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval by a state or federal regulator) of a Goldman Person under Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, “interested stockholder” or “acquiring person” status under the DGCL Takeover Statute) and with respect to which such requirements have not been met or the relevant approval has not been received minus (y) 1.0% of the number of Shares outstanding on the date of determination (either such condition described in clause (1) or (2), an “Excess Ownership Position”) and GS&Co. is unable, after commercially reasonable efforts, to effect a transfer or assignment on pricing terms and within a time period reasonably acceptable to it of all or a portion of the Transaction pursuant to the preceding sentence such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists, GS&Co. may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the “Terminated Portion”) of the Transaction, such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists. In the event that GS&Co. so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (x) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the Terminated Portion, (y) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (z) such Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction. The “Equity Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that GS&Co. and any of its affiliates subject to aggregation with GS&Co., for purposes of the “beneficial ownership” test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act, and all persons who may form a “group” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) with GS&Co. (“Goldman Group”), beneficially own (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) on such day and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.

In circumstances in which the foregoing provisions relating to Seller’s right to transfer or assign its rights or obligations under the Transaction are not applicable, Seller may transfer any of its rights or delegate its obligations under the Transaction with the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that Seller may transfer or assign without any consent of Counterparty its rights and obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any of its affiliates (a “Transferee Affiliate”) if:

(a) Seller provides Buyer prior written notice of such transfer;

	(b) as of the date of such transfer, and giving effect thereto, the Transferee Affiliate involved in such transfer will not be required to withhold or deduct on account of Tax from any payments under the Agreement or will be required to gross up for such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement; (c) as of the date of such transfer, and giving effect thereto, the Buyer will not be required to gross up for such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement; (d) no Event of Default or Termination Event with respect to Seller has occurred and is continuing at the time of the transfer and neither an Event of Default nor a Termination Event with respect to such Transferee Affiliate will occur as a result of such transfer; (e) the obligations of the Transferee Affiliate to the Transaction will be guaranteed by The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Group, Inc.; (f) such transfer shall be effected at no costs or expenses to Buyer; and (g) the Transferee Affiliate has assumed the obligations of Seller by delivering to Seller an executed assignment and assumption agreement.
