RECITALS

WHEREAS, Assignees desire to purchase, and Assignor desires to assign its rights and obligations under the Investment Agreement to purchase, a portion equal to 4% of the LIC Purchased Shares (the “Assignee Purchased Shares”) (for the avoidance of doubt, the Assignees shall purchase an aggregate amount equal to one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) of the LIC Initial Aggregate Purchase Price) under the Investment Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the portion of the Assignee Purchased Shares to be purchased by each Assignee shall be determined by Assignees in their discretion prior to the Closing.
AGREEMENT
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for the mutual promises contained in this Assignment and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be bound, the parties hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION
SECTION 1.1 Assignment and Assumption. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, from and after the date hereof:
(a) Assignor assigns its rights, benefits and obligations under the Investment Agreement to purchase (and otherwise with respect to) the Assignee Purchased Shares to Assignees; and
(b) Each Assignee accepts such assignment of rights and benefits hereof and assumes and agrees to perform all obligations of Assignor under the Investment Agreement to be performed by Assignor with respect to the Assignee Purchased Shares, as if such Assignee had executed and delivered the Investment Agreement;
provided, however, that the allocation of the Assignee Purchased Shares between the Assignees shall be determined by the Assignees in their sole discretion prior to the Closing, in which case the assignment of the rights, benefits and obligations under the Investment Agreement with respect to the Assignee Purchased Shares pursuant to this Section 1.1 shall be to such Assignees in accordance with such allocation (and the rights, benefits and obligations shall be several and not joint as between the Assignees on that basis) (such allocation, the “Assignee Allocation”). No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Assignees shall deliver the Assignee Allocation to the Company. Pending the effectiveness of any Assignee Allocation, Soroban Master Fund shall be deemed to have been allocated 77.32% of the Assignee Purchased Shares and the associated rights, benefits and obligations with respect thereto and Soroban Opportunities Master Fund shall be deemed to have been allocated 26.68% of the Assignee Purchased Shares and the associated rights, benefits and obligations with respect thereto.

COVENANTS
SECTION 3.1 Acknowledgement. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that, from and after the date hereof, as it relates to the Assignee Purchased Shares allocated to each Assignee, each Assignee shall be treated in all respects as if it were a Purchaser for all purposes under the Investment Agreement and the term “Purchaser” in the Investment Agreement will be deemed to include each Assignee, provided, however, that with respect to the demand registration rights granted to Purchasers pursuant to the first sentence of Section 9.1(a) of the Investment Agreement (each such right, a “Demand Right”), Assignor will retain its two (2) Demand Rights and the Assignees will have no Demand Rights; provided, further, that nothing herein shall release Assignor from any liability for breach of any provision of the Investment Agreement.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the representations, warranties, covenants and other obligations of the Company for the benefit of the Purchasers under the Investment Agreement are also for the benefit of the Assignees (as it relates to the Assignee Purchased Shares allocated to each Assignee), and the Assignees are entitled to enforce their
rights under the Investment Agreement with respect thereto as if they were named as a Purchaser in the Investment Agreement.
SECTION 3.3 Non-Reliance. Each Assignee acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Company, Assignor and their respective Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, members, shareholders and agents (collectively, the “Company/Assignor Affiliates”) may be, and such Assignee is proceeding on the assumption that the Company/Assignor Affiliates are, in possession of material, non-public information concerning the Company and its Affiliates (the “Information”), which is not or may not be known to such Assignee; (ii) no Company/Assignor Affiliate has made, and such Purchaser disclaims the existence of or its reliance on, any representation by a Company/Assignor Affiliate concerning the Company, the Assignor or the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Investment Agreement (except for the representations and warranties set forth in this Assignment and the Investment Agreement); (iii) such Assignee is not relying on any disclosure or non-disclosure of the Information made or not made, or the completeness thereof, in connection with or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Investment Agreement, and therefore has no claims against any Company/Assignor Affiliate with respect thereto; (iv) if any such claim may exist, such Assignee, recognizing its disclaimer of reliance and each of Assignor’s and the Company’s reliance on such disclaimer as a condition to entering into this Assignment and the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Investment Agreement, covenants and agrees not to assert it against any Company/Assignor Affiliate; and (v) each of Assignor and the Company shall have no Liability, and such Assignee waives and releases any such claim that it might have against any Company/Assignor Affiliate, whether under applicable securities Law or otherwise, based on a Company/Assignor Affiliate’s knowledge, possession or non-disclosure to such Assignee of the Information.

Each party hereto shall cooperate with the other parties and use its respective commercially reasonable best efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, all things, necessary, proper or advisable to cause the conditions to Closing under the Investment Agreement to be satisfied as promptly as practicable and to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions and perform the covenants contemplated by this Assignment and the Investment Agreement.
ARTICLE IV
TERMINATION
SECTION 4.1 Termination of Assignment. This Assignment may be terminated prior to the Closing as follows:
(a) by mutual written consent of the Company, Assignor and each Assignee;
(b) by the Company if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of either Assignee set forth in this Assignment and the Investment Agreement shall have occurred that would cause any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article V of the Investment Agreement not to be satisfied
(or capable of being satisfied) at the Closing;
(c) by either Assignee, Assignor or the Company if there shall be in effect a final non-appealable order of a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; it being agreed that the parties hereto shall promptly appeal any adverse determination which is not non-appealable (and pursue such appeal with reasonable diligence); or

SECTION 4.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Assignment as provided in Section 4.1, written notice thereof shall be given to the other parties, the rights and obligations of the parties as to which such termination is effective under this Assignment (to the extent any such rights and obligations remain unsatisfied as of such date) shall become null and void, and the purchase of the portion of the Assignee Purchased Shares by each Assignee hereunder shall be abandoned, without further action by Assignees, Assignor or the Company.
