(c)          Removal of Legends.  The legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) above shall be removed and the Company shall issue to such holder the applicable Shares in book-entry form free and clear of such legend or any other legends by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at the Depository Trust Company, if (i) such Shares are registered for resale under the Securities Act, (ii) such Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (if the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Company) or (iii) such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions.  The Company agrees that it shall cause Company Counsel (i) after the Effective Date, to issue to the Transfer Agent, if required by the Transfer Agent, a “blanket” legal opinion or other letter to allow sales without restriction pursuant to the effective registration statement and (ii) provide all other opinions of Company Counsel as may reasonably be required by the Transfer Agent in connection with the removal of legends pursuant to this Section 4.1(c) following receipt of the certificates and documents contemplated below. Following Rule 144 becoming available for the resale of the Shares, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, the Company, upon the request of Bayer and delivery of the certificates and documents contemplated below, shall cause Company Counsel or other counsel satisfactory to the Transfer Agent to issue to the Transfer Agent a legal opinion stating that the Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and providing for the removal of the appropriate restrictive legends.  Any fees (with respect to the Transfer Agent, Company Counsel or otherwise) associated with the issuance of such opinion or the removal of such legend shall be borne by the Company.  Following the Effective Date, or at such earlier time as a legend is no longer required for the Shares, the Company will promptly upon written request from Bayer instruct the Transfer Agent to remove the restrictive notation from the book entries evidencing the Shares.  The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4.1(c).

(d)         Clear Market.  Beginning on the date of execution of the Restructuring Agreement and through the subsequent 12 month period (the “Lockup Period”), Bayer will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, short sell, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge or disposition or (ii) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Shares or any such other securities (whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise), in each case other than (A)  transfers or dispositions of the Shares to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of Bayer, (B) transfers or dispositions of the Shares to any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity all of the beneficial ownership interests of which are held by Bayer or to any Affiliate of Bayer, and (C) distributions of the Shares to partners, members or stockholders of Bayer.  In the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C), each transferee, donee or distributee shall execute and deliver to the Company a lockup letter in the form of this Section 4.1(d); provided, however, that this Section 4.1(d) shall not apply to any Shares registered pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement; and provided, further that this Section 4.1(d) shall terminate immediately prior to a Change of Control, as such term is defined in the Note.

 

(e)           Disposition of Shares.  Subsequent to the expiration of the Lockup Period, Bayer will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, dispose of more than 10% of the original number of Shares during any single calendar month, except for transfers to Bayer’s Affiliates or as otherwise provided for in clauses (A), (B) or (C) of Section 4.1(d), in each case subject to the transferee’s compliance with the requirements of Section 4.1; provided, however, that such 10% limitation shall apply on a consolidated basis to Bayer and any transferee of the Shares; provided further that the terms of this Section 4.1(e) shall not apply to any Shares registered pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement and provided, further that this Section 4.1(e) shall terminate immediately prior to a Change of Control, as such term is defined in the Note.

 

(f)           Acknowledgement.  Bayer hereunder acknowledges its primary responsibilities under the Securities Act and accordingly will not sell or otherwise transfer the Shares or any interest therein without complying with the requirements of the Securities Act.  While the Registration Statement remains effective, Bayer may sell the Shares in accordance with the plan of distribution contained in the Registration Statement and, if it does so, it will comply therewith and with the related prospectus delivery requirements unless an exemption therefrom is available.  Bayer agrees that if it is notified by the Company in writing at any time that the Registration Statement registering the resale of the Shares is not effective or that the prospectus included in such Registration Statement no longer complies with the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act, Bayer will refrain from selling such Shares until such time as Bayer is notified by the Company that such Registration Statement is effective or such prospectus is compliant with Section 10 of the Securities Act, unless Bayer is able to, and does, sell such Shares  pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act.

 

4.2       Integration.  The Company shall not, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that no Affiliate of the Company shall sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that will be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares by (i) the Company to KHL or (ii) KHL to Bayer, in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Shares by (i) the Company to KHL or (ii) KHL to Bayer, or that will be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require stockholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless stockholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

 

4.3       Principal Trading Market Listing.  In the time and manner required by the Principal Trading Market, the Company shall prepare and file with such Principal Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering all of the Shares and shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all steps necessary to cause all of the Shares to be approved for listing on the Principal Trading Market as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement.
