(i) Except as provided in this CVR Agreement, none of the Company or any of its Affiliates shall have any right to set off any amounts owed or claimed to be owed by any Holder to any of them against such Holder’s CVRs or any CVR Payment Amount or other amount payable to such Holder in respect of such CVRs. (j) In the event that (i) (A) all of the CVRs shall have become due and payable pursuant to the terms hereof, (B) all disputes with respect to amounts payable to the Holders brought pursuant to the terms and conditions of this CVR Agreement have been resolved, and (C) the Company has paid or caused to be paid or deposited with the Rights Agent all amounts payable to the Holders under this CVR Agreement or (ii) the volume weighted average price of the Shares (as reported by Bloomberg L.P. or, if not reported therein, in another authoritative source selected by the Company in its sole discretion) is greater than $18.50 per Share over any fourteen (14) consecutive Trading Day period after the Effective Time and prior to the CVR Payment Date (such event described in this clause (ii), the “Automatic Extinguishment”), then this CVR Agreement shall cease to be of further effect and shall be deemed satisfied and discharged.
