(d) At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in this Section 1.4, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the Securities specified in this CVR Agreement in connection with such action, any Holder of a Security the serial number of which is shown by the evidence to be included among the serial numbers of the Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice at the Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in this Section 1.4, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security or the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, suffered or omitted to be done by the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

Section 1.6 Notice to Holders; Waiver.

(a) Where this CVR Agreement provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at the Holder’s address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this CVR Agreement provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

(b) In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to mail notice of any event as required by any provision of this CVR Agreement, then any method of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

Section 1.7 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof which is required to be included in this CVR Agreement by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.

Section 1.8 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

Section 1.9 Benefits of Agreement. Nothing in this CVR Agreement or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person (other than the Parties hereto and their successors hereunder, any Paying Agent and the Holders) any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this CVR Agreement or under any covenant or provision herein contained, all such covenants and provisions being for sole benefit of the Parties hereto and their successors, any Paying Agent and of the Holders.

Section 1.10 Governing Law. THIS CVR AGREEMENT AND ALL SUITS, ACTIONS, PROCEEDINGS, CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS CVR AGREEMENT, THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR PERFORMANCE OF THIS CVR AGREEMENT OR THE SECURITIES, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF. EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE TRUSTEE AND EACH OF THE HOLDERS BY THEIR ACCEPTANCE OF THE SECURITIES, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK OR ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION, PROCEEDING, CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS CVR AGREEMENT, THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR PERFORMANCE OF THIS CVR AGREEMENT OR THE SECURITIES, AND IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE AGREES THAT PROCESS MAY BE SERVED UPON THEM IN ANY MANNER AUTHORIZED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK FOR SUCH PERSONS AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS, THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

Section 1.11 Legal Holidays. In the event that the Milestone Payment Date shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any provision of this CVR Agreement or the Securities to the contrary) payment on the Securities need not be made on such date, but may be made, without the accrual of any interest thereon, on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Milestone Payment Date.

Section 1.12 Separability Clause. In case any provision in this CVR Agreement or in the CVRs shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 1.13 No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee, agent or representative of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company or the Trustee shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Trustee under the Securities or this CVR Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation.

Section 3.4 [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 3.5 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

(a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency designated pursuant to Section 7.2 being herein sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided.

(b) (i) A Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Securities will be exchanged by the Company for Direct Registration Securities if (1) the Company delivers to the Security Registrar notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 120 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary, (2) the Company in its sole discretion determines that the Global Securities (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Direct Registration Securities and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Security Registrar or (3) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Security Registrar has received a request from the Depositary to issue Direct Registration Securities. Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding events in (1) or (2) above, Direct Registration Securities shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Securities also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Section 3.6 hereof. Every Global Security authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Sections 3.5 or 3.6 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security. A Global Security may not be exchanged for another Global Security other than as provided in this Section 3.5(b)(i), however, beneficial interests in a Global Security may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 3.5(b)(ii) or (iii) hereof.

(ii) The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Securities will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this CVR Agreement and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in any Global Security may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in Global Security. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Security Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 3.5(b)(ii).

(iii) If any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Security proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a Direct Registration Security or to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Direct Registration Security, then the Security Registrar will cause the aggregate number of CVRs represented by the applicable Global Security to be reduced accordingly pursuant to Section 3.5(b)(vi) hereof, and the Security Registrar will deliver to the Person designated in the instructions a Direct Registration Security in the appropriate number of CVRs. Any Direct Registration Security issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 3.5(b)(iii) will be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest requests through instructions to the Security Registrar from or through the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant.

(iv) A Holder of a Direct Registration Security may exchange such Direct Registration Security for a beneficial interest in a Global Security or transfer such Direct Registration Security to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Security at any time. Upon receipt of a request for such an exchange or transfer, the Security Registrar will cancel the applicable Direct Registration Security and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate number of CVRs represented by one of the Global Securities.

(v) Upon request by a Holder of Direct Registration Securities and such Holder’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.5(b)(v), the Security Registrar will register the transfer or exchange of Direct Registration Securities. Prior to such registration of transfer or exchange, the requesting Holder must present to the Security Registrar a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Security Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by its attorney, duly authorized in writing. A Holder of Direct Registration Securities may transfer such Direct Registration Securities to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of Direct Registration Securities. Upon receipt of a request to register such a transfer, the Security Registrar shall register the Direct Registration Securities pursuant to the instructions from the Holder thereof.

(vi) At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Security have been exchanged for Direct Registration Securities or a particular Global Security has been repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Security will be returned to or retained and canceled by the Security Registrar in accordance with Section 3.9 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Security is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Security or for Direct Registration Securities, the aggregate number of CVRs represented by such Global Security will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Security by the Security Registrar or by the Depositary at the direction of the Security Registrar to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Security, such other Global Security will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Security by the Security Registrar or by the Depositary at the direction of the Security Registrar to reflect such increase.

(vii) (A) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate Global Securities upon receipt of a Company Order in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof or at the Security Registrar’s request.

(B) No service charge will be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Security or to a Holder of a Direct Registration Security for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

(C) All Global Securities and Direct Registration Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Securities or Direct Registration Securities will be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same rights, and entitled to the same benefits under this CVR Agreement, as the Global Securities or Direct Registration Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(D) The Trustee will authenticate Global Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3 hereof.

Section 3.6 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

(a) If (i) any mutilated Global Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or (ii) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Global Security, and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Global Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and, upon delivery of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate, as applicable, and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Global Security or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Global Security, a new CVR, in the form of either a Global Security or a Direct Registration Security, of like tenor and amount of CVRs, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

(b) In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Global Security has become or is to become finally due and payable within fifteen (15) days, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new CVR, pay to the Holder of such Security on the Milestone Payment Date all amounts due and payable with respect thereto.

(c) Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section 3.6 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Global Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Global Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this CVR Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder.

(d) The provisions of this Section 3.6 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Global Securities.

Section 3.7 Payments with respect to CVRs. Payment of any amounts pursuant to the CVRs shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. The Company may, at its option, pay such amounts by wire transfer or check payable in such money.

Section 3.8 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to the time of due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 3.9 Cancellation. All Securities surrendered for payment, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Global Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Global Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this CVR Agreement. All cancelled Global Securities held by the Trustee shall be destroyed and a certificate of destruction shall be issued by the Trustee to the Company, unless otherwise directed by a Company Order.

Section 3.10 CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the CVRs may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices to the Holders as a convenience to the Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the CVRs or as contained in any notices and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the CVRs, and any such notice shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

ARTICLE 4

THE TRUSTEE

Section 4.1 Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

(a) With respect to the Holders, the Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in Section 8.1) with respect to the Securities and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this CVR Agreement and no implied covenants shall be read into this CVR Agreement against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this CVR Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a reasonably prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

(b) In the absence of bad faith on its part, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee which conform to the requirements of this CVR Agreement; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this CVR Agreement.

(c) No provision of this CVR Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that (i) this Subsection (c) shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 4.1; (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders pursuant to Section 8.9 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this CVR Agreement.

(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this CVR Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 4.1.

Section 4.2 Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.1, including the duty of care that the Trustee is required to exercise upon the occurrence of an Event of Default:

(a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and the Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document;

(b) any request or direction or order of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution and the Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith reliance thereon;

(c) whenever in the administration of this CVR Agreement the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers’ Certificate and the Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith reliance thereon or an Opinion of Counsel;

(d) the Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;

(e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this CVR Agreement at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this CVR Agreement, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

(f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security, or other paper or document, but the Trustee in its discretion may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the pertinent books and records of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney, as may be reasonably necessary for such inquiry or investigation and in a manner so as to not unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of the Company or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that Company shall not be required to provide any books or records to the extent that the provision thereof (i) would, as reasonably determined based on the advice of outside counsel, jeopardize any attorney-client privilege or (ii) would contravene any Law or any contract or agreement to which the Company or any of its Affiliates is subject or bound;

(g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder;

(h) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this CVR Agreement; and

(i) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice thereof has been received by such Responsible Officer at the offices of the Trustee and such notice references the CVRs and this CVR Agreement and the fact that such notice constitutes notification of default.

Section 4.3 Notice of Default. If a default occurs hereunder with respect to the Securities, the Trustee shall give the Holders notice of any such default actually known to it as and to the extent applicable and provided by the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 8.1(b) with respect to the Securities, no notice to Holders shall be given until at least thirty (30) days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section 4.3, the term “default” means any event that is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to the Securities.

Section 4.4 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the Securities. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this CVR Agreement or of the Securities.

Section 4.5 May Hold Securities. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities, and, subject to Sections 4.8 and 4.13, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

Section 4.6 Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by Law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder, except as otherwise agreed by the Trustee in writing with the Company.

Section 4.7 Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees:

(a) to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder in such amount as the Company and the Trustee shall agree from time to time (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of Law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

(b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable and out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this CVR Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the reasonable expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; and

(c) to indemnify the Trustee and each of its agents, officers, directors and employees (each an “indemnitee”) for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or reasonable and out-of-pocket expense (including reasonable and out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the reasonable and out-of-pocket costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 4.7 shall survive the termination of this CVR Agreement. When the Trustee incurs reasonable and out-of-pocket expenses after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 8.1(c) or 8.1(d) with respect to the Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under bankruptcy Laws.

Section 4.8 Disqualification; Conflicting Interests.

(a) If applicable, to the extent that the Trustee or the Company determines that the Trustee has a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall immediately notify the Company of such conflict and, within ninety (90) days after ascertaining that it has such conflicting interest, either eliminate such conflicting interest or resign to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this CVR Agreement. The Company shall take prompt steps to have a successor appointed in the manner provided in this CVR Agreement.

(b) If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 4.8(a), the Trustee shall, within ten (10) days of the expiration of such ninety (90) day period, transmit a notice of such failure to the Holders in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act and this CVR Agreement.

(c) If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 4.8(a) after written request therefore by the Company or any Holder, then any Holder of any Security who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six (6) months may on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of such Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

Section 4.9 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which satisfies the applicable requirements of Sections 310(a)(1) and (5) of the Trust Indenture Act and has a combined capital and surplus of at least one hundred fifty million dollars ($150,000,000). If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to Law or to the requirements of a supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 4.9, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.9, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article 4.

Section 4.10 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article 4 shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 4.11.

(b) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time by an act of the Majority Holders, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company.

(d) If at any time:

(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 4.8 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six (6) months, or

(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 4.9 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or

(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any case, (A) the Company, by a Board Resolution or an action of the chief executive officer of the Company, may remove the Trustee, or (B) the Holder of any Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six (6) months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the Company, by a Board Resolution or an action of the chief executive officer of the Company, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If, within one year after any removal by the Majority Holders, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by act of the Majority Holders delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, then the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with Section 4.11, become the successor Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Majority Holders and accepted appointment within sixty (60) days after the retiring Trustee tenders its resignation or is removed, the retiring Trustee may, or, the Holder of any Security who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six (6) months may on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of Securities as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. If the Company fails to send such notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee, it shall not be a default hereunder but the successor Trustee shall cause the notice to be mailed at the expense of the Company.

Section 4.11 Acceptance of Appointment of Successor.

(a) Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, upon request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.

(b) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article 4.

Section 4.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, by sale or otherwise shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article 4, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the Parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion, sale or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities; and such certificate shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this CVR Agreement provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

Section 4.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. If and when the Trustee shall be or shall become a creditor, directly or indirectly, secured or unsecured, of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), excluding any creditor relationship set forth in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, if applicable, the Trustee shall be subject to the applicable provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor).

(b) Delivery of the reports, information and documents described in Section 5.4(a) shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable there from, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants or other obligations hereunder as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates.

Such amounts shall be considered paid on the Milestone Payment Date if on or prior to such date the Company makes, or causes to be made, the payment required pursuant to Section 3.1(c) of this CVR Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this CVR Agreement, the Company or any of its Affiliates, the Trustee or the Paying Agent, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from any amounts payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this CVR Agreement to any Person, such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld therefrom under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law.

(b) The Company may from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or outside of The City of New York) where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes, and may from time to time rescind such designation; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and any change in the location of any such office or agency.

Section 7.3 Money for Security Payments to Be Held in Trust.

(c) The Company will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 7.3, that (i) such Paying Agent will hold all sums held by it for the payment of any amount payable on Securities in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will notify the Trustee of the sums so held and (ii) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor on the Securities) to make any payment on the Securities when the same shall be due and payable.

(d) Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment on any Security and remaining unclaimed for one year after the Milestone Payment Date shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease.

Section 7.4 Certain Purchases and Sales. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates from acquiring in open market transactions, private transactions or otherwise, any Securities.

During the term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years after the Termination Date, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep, true, complete and accurate records in reasonably sufficient detail to enable the Holders to determine if the Company has complied with its obligations under this CVR Agreement.

Section 7.6 Listing of CVRs. The Company hereby covenants and agrees to use reasonable best efforts to cause the Securities to be approved for listing (subject to notice of issuance) for trading on the New York Stock Exchange or other national securities exchange and will use its reasonable best efforts to maintain such listing for so long as any CVRs remain Outstanding.

Section 7.7 Product Transfer. If the Company or its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, by a sale or swap of assets, merger, reorganization, joint venture, lease, license or any other transaction or arrangement, sells, transfers, conveys or otherwise disposes of its respective rights in and to any Product to a third party (other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), then the applicable Milestone for such Product (e.g., if the Product is BB2121, then the BB2121 Milestone) shall be deemed to have been satisfied for all purposes under this CVR Agreement as of the earlier of the entry into a definitive agreement with respect to, and the consummation of, the transaction or arrangement involving such sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition; provided, that if such sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition is permitted by Section 9.1, then Section 9.1 shall govern. For the purposes of clarification, and subject to Section 7.8, the Company may use contract research organizations, contract manufacturing organizations, contract sales organizations, subcontractors and distributors in the ordinary course of business to perform research, development, manufacturing and commercialization activities (including granting an appropriate sublicense to the extent necessary), without triggering the applicable Milestone.

Section 7.8 Diligent Efforts. The Company shall use Diligent Efforts to achieve the Milestone.

Section 7.9 Confidentiality. The Trustee and the Holders hereby agree that any confidential or non-public information they receive from or on behalf of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, which receipt arises out of the transactions contemplated by this CVR Agreement (the “Confidential Information”), shall: (a) not be used for any purpose other than for purposes permitted under this CVR Agreement; (b) not be used directly or indirectly in any way that is for competitive purposes; and (c) not be disclosed by, and be kept confidential by, such Trustee and the Holders and its directors, officers, members, managers, employees, affiliates and agents (collectively, “Representatives”); provided, however, that any such Confidential Information may be disclosed only to their Representatives who (i) need to know such Confidential Information and (ii) are bound in writing to a non-disclosure agreement no less restrictive than this Section 7.9. It is understood that such Representatives shall be informed by the Trustee or the applicable Holder of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information, and that the Trustee or such Holder, as applicable, shall be responsible for any disclosure or use made by its Representatives in breach of obligations under this CVR Agreement to the same extent as if such disclosure or use had been made directly by the Trustee or such Holder, as applicable. Each of the Trustee and the Holders will as soon as practicable notify the Company of any breach of this CVR Agreement of which they become aware, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist and cooperate with the Company in minimizing the consequences of such breach. “Confidential Information” shall not include any information that is (A) publicly available other than because of or related to any disclosure by the Trustee or the Holders or any of their respective Representatives or (B) is lawfully disclosed to the Trustee or Holders by sources (other than the Company or its Affiliates) rightfully in possession of the Confidential Information on a non-confidential basis. If the Trustee, Holders or their respective Representatives are legally required or requested to disclose any Confidential Information, they will in advance of such disclosure, unless otherwise prohibited by Law, promptly notify the Company in writing of such request or requirement so that the Company may seek to avoid or minimize the required disclosure and/or obtain an appropriate protective order or other appropriate relief to ensure that any Confidential Information so disclosed is maintained in confidence to the maximum extent possible by the person receiving the disclosure, or, in the Company’s discretion, to waive compliance with the provisions of this CVR Agreement. In any such case, the Trustee and the Holders agree to cooperate and use reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize the required disclosure and/or obtain such protective order or other relief. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Trustee, Holders or their respective Representatives are legally obligated to disclose any Confidential Information, they will disclose only so much thereof to the party compelling disclosure as they believe in good faith, on the basis of advice of counsel, is required by Law. The Trustee and Holders shall give the Company prior written notice of the specific Confidential Information that they believe they are required to disclose under such circumstances. All Confidential Information disclosed by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be, and shall remain, the property of the Company or such Affiliate.

Section 7.10 Non-Use of Name. Neither the Trustee nor the Holders shall use the name, trademark, trade name, or logo of the Company, its Affiliates or their respective employees, agents or representatives in any publicity or news release relating to this CVR Agreement or its subject matter, without the prior express written permission of the Company.

If an Event of Default described above occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, either the Trustee by notice in writing to the Company or the Trustee upon the written request of the Majority Holders by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Majority Holders), shall bring suit to protect the rights of the Holders, including to obtain payment for any amounts then due and payable, which amounts shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate from the date such amounts were due and payable hereunder until payment is made to the Trustee.

The foregoing provisions of this Section 8.1, however, are subject to the condition that if, at any time after the Trustee shall have begun such suit, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all amounts which shall have become due (with interest upon such overdue amount at the Default Interest Rate to the date of such payment or deposit) and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred and all advances made, by the Trustee, and if any and all Events of Default under this CVR Agreement shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein, then and in every such case the Majority Holders, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults with respect to the Securities, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereof.

Section 8.2 Collection by the Trustee; the Trustee May Prove Payment Obligations. The Company covenants that in case default shall be made in the payment of all or any part of the Securities when the same shall have become due and payable, whether at the Milestone Payment Date or otherwise, then upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all Securities (with interest from the date due and payable to the date of such payment upon the overdue amount at the Default Interest Rate); and in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and any expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, except as a result of its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

The Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this CVR Agreement or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other remedy.

In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at Law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or other obligor upon such Securities and collect in the manner provided by Law out of the property of the Company or other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

In any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or other obligor upon the Securities, irrespective of whether any amount is then due and payable with respect to the Securities, the Trustee is authorized:

(a) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities, and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, except as a result of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct) and of the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or other obligor upon the Securities, or to their respective property;

(b) unless prohibited by and only to the extent required by applicable Law, to vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or person performing similar functions in comparable proceedings; and

(c) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Holders and of the Trustee on their behalf; and any trustee, receiver, or liquidator, custodian or other similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Holders to make payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, except as a result of its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, and all other amounts due to the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee pursuant to Section 4.6. To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, advances and other amounts out of the estate in any such proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, moneys, securities and other property which the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities, or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar person.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this CVR Agreement, or under any of the Securities, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof and any trial or other proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders.

In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this CVR Agreement to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of such Securities parties to any such proceedings.

Section 8.3 Application of Proceeds. Any monies collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 8 in respect of any Securities shall be applied in the following order at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee upon presentation of the several Securities in respect of which monies have been collected and stamping (or otherwise noting) thereon the payment in exchange for the presented Securities if only partially paid or upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of costs and expenses in respect of which monies have been collected, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys and of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, except as a result of its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, and all other amounts due to the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee pursuant to Section 4.7;

SECOND: To the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon all the Securities, with interest at the Default Interest Rate on all such amounts, and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the Securities, then to the payment of such amounts without preference or priority of any security over any other Security, ratably to the aggregate of such amounts due and payable; and

THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or any other person lawfully entitled thereto.

Section 8.4 Suits for Enforcement. In case an Event of Default has occurred, has not been waived and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this CVR Agreement by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at Law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this CVR Agreement or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this CVR Agreement or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this CVR Agreement or by Law.

Section 8.5 Restoration of Rights on Abandonment of Proceedings. In case the Trustee or any Holder shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this CVR Agreement and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Company and the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.

Section 8.6 Limitations on Suits by Holders. Subject to the rights of the holders under Section 8.7, no Holder of any Security shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this CVR Agreement to institute any action or proceeding at Law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise upon or under or with respect to this CVR Agreement, or for the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Majority Holders shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action or proceedings in its own name as trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby and the Trustee for fifteen (15) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute any such action or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.9. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 8.6, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at Law or in equity.

Section 8.7 Unconditional Right of Holders to Institute Certain Suits. Notwithstanding any other provision in this CVR Agreement and any provision of any Security, the right of any Holder of any Security to receive payment of the amounts payable in respect of such Security on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 8.8 Powers and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver of Default.

(a) Except as provided in Section 8.6, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by Law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at Law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

(b) No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to Section 8.6, every power and remedy given by this CVR Agreement or by Law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders.

Section 8.9 Control by Holders.

(a) The Majority Holders shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities by this CVR Agreement; provided that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with Law and the provisions of this CVR Agreement; and provided further that (subject to the provisions of Section 4.1) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors, the executive committee, or a committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability or if the Trustee in good faith shall so determine that the actions or forbearances specified in or pursuant to such direction would be unduly prejudicial to the interests of Holders of the Securities not joining in the giving of said direction.

(b) Nothing in this CVR Agreement shall impair the right of the Trustee in its discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction or directions by Holders.

Section 8.10 Waiver of Past Defaults.

(a) In the case of a default or an Event of Default specified in clause (b), (c) or (d) of Section 8.1, the Majority Holders may waive any such default or Event of Default, and its consequences except a default in respect of a covenant or provisions hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Security affected. In the case of any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

(b) Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, and not to have occurred for every purpose of this CVR Agreement; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 8.11 The Trustee to Give Notice of Default, But May Withhold in Certain Circumstances. The Trustee shall transmit to the Holders, as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the Security Register (as provided under Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, if applicable), notice by mail of all defaults which have occurred and are known to the Trustee, such notice to be transmitted within ninety (90) days after the occurrence thereof, unless such defaults shall have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term “default” for the purposes of this Section being hereby defined to mean any event or condition which is, or with notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default); provided that, except in the case of default in the payment of the amounts payable in respect of any of the Securities, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders.

Section 8.12 Right of Court to Require Filing of Undertaking to Pay Costs. All Parties to this CVR Agreement agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this CVR Agreement or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as the Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable out-of-pocket costs, including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 8.12 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder or group of Holders holding in the aggregate more than ten percent (10%) of the Securities Outstanding or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of any Security on or after the due date expressed in such Security.

ARTICLE 9

CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE OR CONVEYANCE

Section 9.1 Company May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms. The Company covenants that it will not merge or consolidate with or into any other Person or sell or convey all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, unless (a) either (i) the Company shall be the continuing Person or (ii) the successor Person, or the Person that acquires by sale or conveyance substantially all the assets of the Company shall be a Person organized under the Laws of the United States of America or any State thereof, any member of the European Union or the United Kingdom and shall expressly assume, by an assignment and assumption agreement, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex B, the due and punctual payment of the Milestone Payment and the due and punctual performance and observance of all covenants and conditions of this CVR Agreement to be performed or observed by the Company and (b) the Company, such successor Person or Person that acquires by sale or conveyance substantially all the assets of the Company, as the case may be, shall not, immediately after such merger or consolidation, or such sale or conveyance, be in default in the performance of any such covenant or condition in any material respect.

Section 9.2 Successor Person Substituted.

(a) In case of an assumption pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(ii), such assuming Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company with the same effect as if it had been named herein. Such assuming Person may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name (or, if it is the successor to the Company or substantially all assets of the Company, in the name of the Company prior to such succession) any or all of the Securities issuable hereunder, in the case of Global Securities, which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor corporation instead of the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this CVR Agreement prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Securities which previously shall have been signed and delivered to the Trustee for authentication, and any Securities which such assuming Person thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All of the Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this CVR Agreement as the Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this CVR Agreement as though all of such Securities had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

(b) In case of any such assumption, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Securities thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

(c) In the event of any such assumption, the assigning Person shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under this CVR Agreement and the Securities and may be liquidated and dissolved.

Section 9.3 Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 4.1 and 4.2, shall receive an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, prepared in accordance with Section 1.2 and Section 1.3, as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, and any such assumption, and any such liquidation or dissolution, complies with the applicable provisions of this CVR Agreement, and if a supplemental agreement is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental agreement complies with this Article and that there has been compliance with all conditions precedent herein provided for or relating to such transaction.

Section 9.4 Successors. All covenants, provisions and agreements in this CVR Agreement by or for the benefit of the Company, the Trustee or the Holders shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives, whether so expressed or not. The Company may assign this CVR Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties to this CVR Agreement to one or more of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries, provided, however, that, subject to Section 9.2(a) and (b), in the event of any such assignment the Company shall remain subject to its obligations and covenants hereunder, including but not limited to its obligation to make the Milestone Payment.

ARTICLE 10

SUBORDINATION

Section 10.1 Agreement to Subordinate. The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Security hereunder agrees, that the Milestone Payment, all other obligations under this CVR Agreement and the Securities and any rights or claims relating thereto (collectively, the “Junior Obligations”) are subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 10, to the prior payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of all Senior Obligations of the Company (whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed), and that the subordination is for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Obligations.

Section 10.2 Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy. Upon any distribution to creditors of the Company in a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its property, in an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshaling of the Company’s assets and liabilities:

(a) holders of Senior Obligations will be entitled to receive payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of all Senior Obligations of the Company (including interest after the commencement of any bankruptcy proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Senior Obligation, whether or not permitted under such bankruptcy proceedings) before the Holders will be entitled to receive any payment of any kind with respect to the Junior Obligations; and

(b) until all Senior Obligations of the Company (as provided in clause (a) above) are paid in full in cash or cash equivalents, any distribution to which Holders would be entitled but for this Article 10 will be made to holders of Senior Obligations of the Company, as their interests may appear.

Section 10.3 Default on Senior Obligations. The Company may not make any payment or distribution to any Holder in respect of Junior Obligations or acquire from any Holder for cash or property any Junior Obligations:

(a) if any default on any Senior Obligations exceeding twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000) in aggregate principal amount would occur as a result of such payment, distribution or acquisition;

(b) during the continuance of any payment default in respect of any Senior Obligations (after expiration of any applicable grace period) exceeding twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000) in aggregate principal amount;

(c) if the maturity of any Senior Obligations representing more than twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000) in aggregate principal amount is accelerated in accordance with its terms and such acceleration has not been rescinded; or

(d) following the occurrence of any default (other than a payment default, and after the expiration of any applicable grace period) with respect to any Senior Obligations with an aggregate principal amount of more than twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000), the effect of which is to permit the holders of such Senior Obligations (or a trustee or agent acting on their behalf) to cause, with the giving of notice if required, the maturity of such Senior Obligations to be accelerated, for a period commencing upon the receipt by the Trustee (with a copy to the Company) of a written notice of such default from the representative of the holders of such Senior Obligations and ending when such Senior Obligations are paid in full in cash or cash equivalents or, if earlier, when such default is cured or waived.

Section 10.4 When Distribution Must Be Paid Over.

(a) In the event that the Trustee or any Holder receives any payment of any Junior Obligations at a time when such payment is prohibited by this Article 10, such payment will be held by the Trustee or such Holder, in trust for the benefit of, and will be paid forthwith over and delivered, upon written request, to, the holders of Senior Obligations of the Company as their interests may appear or their representative under the agreement, indenture or other document (if any) pursuant to which such Senior Obligations may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of all such Senior Obligations remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay such Senior Obligations in full in accordance with their terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Obligations.

(b) Any amount received by any Holder as a result of direct or indirect credit support for the Junior Obligations from any Affiliate of the Company shall be treated as payments received by such Holder from the Company that are subject to the provisions of this Article 10.

(c) With respect to the holders of Senior Obligations, the Trustee undertakes to perform only those obligations on the part of the Trustee as are specifically set forth in this Article 10, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Obligations will be read into this CVR Agreement against the Trustee. The Trustee will not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Obligations, and will not be liable to any such holders if the Trustee pays over or distributes to or on behalf of Holders or the Company or any other Person money or assets to which any holders of Senior Obligations are then entitled by virtue of this Article 10, except if such payment is made as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee.

Section 10.5 Notice by Company. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any facts known to the Company that would cause a payment of any Junior Obligations to violate this Article 10, but failure to give such notice will not affect the subordination of the Junior Obligations to the Senior Obligations as provided in this Article 10.

Section 10.6 Subordination Effective Notwithstanding Deficiencies with Respect to Senior Obligations: Waiver of Right to Contest Senior Obligation: Reinstatement of Subordination Provisions.

(a) The Holders hereby agree that subordination provisions contained in this Article 10 are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Senior Obligations, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any holder of Senior Obligations with respect to any provisions thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense. Without limiting the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this CVR Agreement, in the event that the amount of Senior Obligations are reduced or diminished for any reason (other than as a result of the payment in cash or cash equivalents thereof), whether because of the applicability of fraudulent conveyance or other applicable Laws, or any other invalidity or limitation on the amount of Senior Obligations, the subordination provisions thereof shall apply to the full amount of Senior Obligations (without giving effect to any reduction, invalidity or diminution thereof), and the turnover provisions hereunder shall be fully enforceable with respect to the full amount of Senior Obligations (without giving effect to any such reduction, invalidity or diminution thereof), even if the effect thereof is that there will be no (or a limited amount of) Senior Obligations to which the Junior Obligations are subrogated after the payment in full in cash of any of the remaining Senior Obligations (without giving effect to any reductions, invalidity or diminution thereof, except for reductions as a result of payments thereof in cash or cash equivalents).

(b) The Trustee and the Holders agree that they shall not (and hereby waive any right to) take any action to contest or challenge (or assist or support any other Person in contesting or challenging), directly or indirectly, whether or not in any proceeding (including in any proceeding commenced by or against any Person under any provision of Title 11 of the United States Code, as now and hereinafter in effect, or any successor statute or under any other state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency Law, assignments for the benefit of creditors, formal or informal moratoria, compositions, extensions generally with creditors, or proceedings seeking reorganization, arrangement, or other similar relief), the validity or enforceability of the Senior Obligations.

(c) If any payment made or in respect to the Senior Obligations must be disgorged or returned for any reason, the Senior Obligations shall be reinstated hereunder and for all purposes of this Article 10 (including the turnover provisions hereof) such payment shall be deemed to have never been made with respect to the Senior Obligations.

Section 10.7 Subrogation. After all Senior Obligations are paid in full in cash or cash equivalents and until the Junior Obligations are paid in full, Holders will be subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior Obligations to receive distributions applicable to Senior Obligations to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holders have been applied to the payment of Senior Obligations. The Holders by accepting the Securities acknowledge that to the extent that the Senior Obligations are determined to be unenforceable, or the Senior Obligations are subordinated to other obligations of the Company, such subrogation rights may be impaired.

Section 10.8 Relative Rights. This Article 10 defines the relative rights of Holders and holders of Senior Obligations. Nothing in this CVR Agreement will:

(a) impair, as between the Company and Holders, the obligations of the Company under this CVR Agreement and the Securities; or

(b) affect the relative rights of Holders and creditors of the Company other than their rights in relation to holders of Senior Obligations.

(c) If the Company fails because of this Article 10 to pay any amounts due in respect of the Securities on a due date in violation of Section 8.1, the failure is still an Event of Default.

Section 10.9 Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Company. No right of any holder of Senior Obligations to enforce the subordination of the Junior Obligations may be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or any Holder or by the failure of the Company or any Holder to comply with this CVR Agreement.

Section 10.10 Distribution or Notice to Representative. Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Obligations, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their representative in accordance with the terms of the instrument or other agreement governing such Senior Obligations. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article 10, the Trustee and the Holders will be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction or upon any certificate of such representative or of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Obligations and other obligations of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 10.

Section 10.11 Rights of the Trustee. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 10 or any other provision of this CVR Agreement, the Trustee will not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment or distribution by the Trustee, and the Trustee may continue to make payments on the Securities, unless the Trustee has received at its address for notice specified in Section 1.5 at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of such payment written notice of facts that would cause the payment of any Junior Obligations to violate this Article 10. Only the Company or a representative of Senior Obligations may give the notice. Nothing in this Article 10 will impair the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 4.7. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Obligations with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee.

Section 10.12 Authorization to Effect Subordination. Each Holder, by the Holder’s acceptance of the Securities, authorizes and directs the Trustee on such Holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article 10, and appoints the Trustee to act as such Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. If the Trustee (or any other Person acting on behalf of and at the direction of the Majority Holders) does not file a proper proof of claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to in Section 8.2 hereof at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of the time to file such claim, the representatives of the Senior Obligations are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders of the Securities.

Section 10.13 Amendments. The provisions of this Article 10 are expressly made for the benefit of the holders from time to time of the Senior Obligations, and may not be amended or modified without the written consent of the representatives of the holders of all Senior Obligations.
