ARTICLE

CONTINGENT VALUE RIGHTS


 


Section 2.1                 
Appointment of the Rights Agent; Issuance of CVRs.


 


(a)                
The Company hereby appoints the Rights Agent to act as agent for the Company in accordance with the express terms and conditions
hereof, and the Rights Agent hereby accepts such appointment.


 


(b)               
On the Effective Date, the Company shall issue CVRs to Shareholders of record on the Record Date.


 


(c)                
If and when an Option Holder or Warrant Holder exercises options or warrants held on the Record Date and becomes a Shareholder,
the Company shall issue CVRs to such Shareholder based on the number of Common Shares such Shareholder would have received upon
the exercise of such Shareholder’s options or warrants had such Shareholder exercised such Shareholder’s options or
warrants on the Record Date.


 


(d)               
The CVRs shall represent the right of the Holders to receive, in respect of each CVR held by such Holder, the CVR Payment
Amount (if any) if and when payable pursuant to this Agreement. The administration of the CVRs shall be handled pursuant to this
Agreement in the manner set forth in this Agreement.



    	 	6	 



     


    




Section 2.2                 
Nontransferable.


 


The CVRs or any interest therein shall not
be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or in any other manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part, other
than through a Permitted Transfer.


 


Section 2.3                 
No Certificate; Registration; Registration of Transfer; Change of Address.


 


(a)                
The CVRs shall not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument.


 


(b)               
The Rights Agent shall keep a register (the “CVR Register”) for the registration of CVRs in a
book-entry position for each Holder, transfers of CVRs as herein provided and any new issuances of CVRs in respect of any Company
Shares issued due to the exercise of any stock options or warrants outstanding as of the Record Date, subject to Section 4.2, as
applicable. The CVR Register shall set forth the name and address of each Holder, the number of CVRs held by such Holder and the
Tax Identification Number of each Holder, which information, if not available to the Company’s transfer agent or provided
by the Holder, shall be provided in writing to the Rights Agent by the Company. The CVR Register will be updated as necessary by
the Rights Agent to reflect the addition or removal of Holders (including pursuant to any Permitted Transfers), upon the written
receipt of such information by the Rights Agent. Each of the Company and the Shareholder Representative may receive and inspect
a copy of the CVR Register, from time to time, upon written request made to the Rights Agent. Promptly after receipt of such request,
the Rights Agent shall, in a medium satisfactory to the Rights Agent, make available a copy of the CVR Register, as then in effect,
to the Company and the Shareholder Representative.


 


(c)                
Subject to the restriction on transferability set forth in Section 2.2, every request made by the Company to
transfer a CVR must be in writing and setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances relating to the transfer and whether
the transfer is a Permitted Transfer, and must be accompanied by (i) a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to Computershare,
duly executed by the registered Holder thereof, the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, the Holder’s personal
representative or survivor, (ii) the transfer certificate attached hereto as Exhibit A duly completed and properly
executed by both the registered Holder thereof, the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, the Holder’s personal
representative or survivor and the proposed transferee, and (iii) any other requested documentation in form reasonably satisfactory
to the Company and the Rights Agent. Upon receipt of such written instructions, the Rights Agent shall, subject to its reasonable
determination that the transfer instrument and the transfer certificate are in proper form and the transfer otherwise complies
on its face, without investigation or inquiry by the Rights Agent, with the other terms and conditions herein including Section 2.2,
register the transfer of the CVRs in the CVR Register. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Rights Agent may rely on the
information contained in the transfer certificate and any of the documents required to be provided with the transfer certificate.
All duly transferred CVRs registered in the CVR Register shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same right,
and shall entitle the transferee to the same benefits and rights under this Agreement, as those held immediately prior to the transfer
by the transferor. No transfer of a CVR shall be valid until registered in the CVR Register, and any transfer not duly registered
in the CVR Register will be void ab initio (unless the transfer was permissible hereunder and such failure to be duly registered
is attributable to the fault of the Rights Agent). Any transfer or assignment of the CVRs shall be without charge to the Holder;
provided, that the Company and the Rights Agent may require (i) payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp, transfer or
other similar tax or charge that is imposed in connection with any such transfer or (ii) that the transferor establish to
the reasonable satisfaction of the Rights Agent that any such taxes have been paid. The Rights Agent shall have no duty or obligation
to take any action under this Section 2.3(c) unless and until the Rights Agent is satisfied that all such taxes or
charges have been paid in full.


 


(d)               
A Holder may make a written request to the Rights Agent to change such Holder’s address of record in the CVR Register.
The written request must be duly executed by the Holder and accompanied by such other evidence of the Holder’s identity or
interest in the CVR, as reasonably requested by the Rights Agent. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Rights Agent shall promptly
record the change of address in the CVR Register.

The Holders shall be entitled to the following payments in respect of their CVRs (any such payments, in the aggregate, the
“CVR Payment Amount”):


 


(i)                 
Payment for Partial LDI Sales. Subject to the procedures set forth in Section 2.4(c), upon the consummation
of any Partial LDI Sale, each Holder of a CVR, who is a Holder on the date of consummation of any Partial LDI Sale, shall, in respect
of such CVR, be entitled to and shall receive the Partial LDI Net Proceeds Per CVR with respect to such Partial LDI Sale.


 


(ii)               
Payment for LDI Licensing Event. Subject to the procedures set forth in Section 2.4(d), upon the consummation
of any LDI Licensing Event, each Holder of a CVR, who is a Holder on the date that gross proceeds were received in respect of the
LDI Licensing Event, shall, in respect of such CVR, be entitled to and shall receive the LDI Licensing Event Net Proceeds with
respect to such LDI Licensing Event.


 


(iii)             
Payment for Entire LDI Sales. Subject to the procedures set forth in Section 2.4(e), upon the consummation

(v)

Sale includes any deferred cash consideration, each Holder of a CVR, who is a Holder on the date of consummation of the LDI Sale
or Entire LDI Sale, shall be entitled to and shall receive an amount with respect to such CVR equal to (x) the amount of such
deferred cash consideration received by the Company or any Company Subsidiary, net of income taxes, divided by (y) the
number of CVRs listed in the CVR Register as of the date of such calculation. Such deferred cash consideration amounts received
by the Company or any Company Subsidiary shall be paid by the Company, within five (5) Business Days after its receipt thereof,
directly to the Rights Agent for payment to the Holders.


 


(b)               
Currency Conversion. To the extent that any proceeds described herein are received in a currency other than U.S.
dollars, the amount of such proceeds shall be deemed to be the U.S. dollar amount actually received by the Company upon the Company’s
conversion of such proceeds into U.S. dollars at the direction of the Shareholder Representative. To the extent any expenses, fees
or costs are incurred or paid in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the actual U.S. dollar amount that was paid, that was funded
by the Company into the Shareholder Representative Reimbursement Amount shall be used in the calculation of the “LDI Sale
Expenses” or “LDI Licensing Expenses,” as applicable.


 


(c)                
Procedure for Partial LDI Sales.


 


(i)                 
Promptly following the closing of a Partial LDI Sale but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days thereafter,
the Company shall deliver to the Shareholder Representative (with a copy to the Rights Agent) the Company’s good faith written
calculation, in reasonable detail and with supporting documentation, work papers and receipts of the Partial LDI Net Proceeds and
the resulting Partial LDI Net Proceeds Per CVR (the “Partial CVR Payment Statement”), which shall be
certified by the Company. The Partial CVR Payment Statement shall incorporate any LDI Sale Expenses of the Shareholder Representative
set forth in writing by the Shareholder Representative to the Company within such ten (10) Business Day period, which shall
be certified by the Shareholder Representative. The Company shall be protected in relying in good faith upon such certification.


 


(ii)               
Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Partial CVR Payment Statement, the Shareholder Representative shall deliver
to the Company and the Rights Agent a notice specifying whether the Shareholder Representative agrees with (a “Notice
of Agreement”) or objects to (a “Notice of Objection”) such Partial CVR Payment Statement.



    	 	8	 



     


    




(iii)             
If the Shareholder Representative delivers a Notice of Agreement, then any Partial LDI Net Proceeds Per CVR shall be due
and payable to the Holders who were Holders on the date of consummation of the Partial LDI Sale pursuant to the procedures set
forth in Section 2.4(e) below. If the Shareholder Representative does not deliver either a Notice of Objection or a
Notice of Agreement within such five (5) Business Day period, then the Shareholder Representative shall be deemed to have
delivered a Notice of Agreement with respect to such Partial CVR Payment Statement at the end of such period, and the Company shall
instruct the Rights Agent accordingly.


 


(iv)              
Any Notice of Objection shall contain the Shareholder Representative’s calculation of the Partial CVR Net Proceeds
and the resulting Partial LDI Net Proceeds Per CVR that such Shareholder Representative believes Holders are entitled to receive.
Such Notice of Objection must also be accompanied by a description in reasonable detail of each of the objections to the calculations
reflected in the Notice of Objection (collectively, the “Objections”). For a period of ten (10) Business
Days after the delivery of the Notice of Objection, the Company and the Shareholder Representative shall, in good faith, try to
resolve any Objections; provided, however, that to the extent that the Company and the Shareholder Representative
shall disagree, the Shareholder Representative’s good faith calculation of the Partial CVR Net Proceeds and the resulting
Partial LDI Net Proceeds Per CVR (as modified to give effect to the results of any discussions and negotiations pursuant to this
clause (iv)) shall control.


 


(d)               
Procedure for LDI Licensing Event.


 


(i)                 
Promptly following the receipt of any proceeds from an LDI Licensing Event but in no event later than ten (10) Business
Days thereafter, the Company shall deliver to the Shareholder Representative (with a copy to the Rights Agent) the Company’s
good faith written calculation, in reasonable detail and with supporting documentation, work papers and receipts of the LDI Licensing
Event Net Proceeds and the resulting LDI Licensing Event Net Proceeds Per CVR (the “LDI Licensing Event CVR Payment
Statement”), which shall be certified by the Company. The Partial CVR Payment Statement shall incorporate any LDI
Licensing Expenses of the Shareholder Representative set forth in writing by the Shareholder Representative to the Company within
such ten (10) Business Day period, which shall be certified by the Shareholder Representative. The Company shall be protected
in relying in good faith upon such certification.


 


(ii)               
Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the LDI Licensing Event CVR Payment Statement, the Shareholder Representative
shall deliver to the Company a Notice of Agreement or a Notice of Objection with respect to such LDI Licensing Event CVR Payment
Statement.


 


(iii)             
If the Shareholder Representative delivers a Notice of Agreement, then any LDI Licensing Event Net Proceeds Per CVR shall
be due and payable to the Holders who were Holders on the date that gross proceeds were received in respect of the LDI Licensing
Event pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.4(e) below. If the Shareholder Representative does not deliver
either a Notice of Objection or a Notice of Agreement within such five (5) Business Day period, then the Shareholder Representative
shall be deemed to have delivered a Notice of Agreement with respect to such LDI Licensing Event CVR Payment Statement at the end
of such period.


 


(iv)              
Any Notice of Objection shall contain the Shareholder Representative’s calculation of the LDI Licensing Event CVR
Net Proceeds and the resulting LDI Licensing Event Net Proceeds Per CVR that such Shareholder Representative believes Holders are
entitled to receive. Such Notice of Objection must also be accompanied by a description in reasonable detail of each of the Objections.
For a period of ten (10) Business Days after the delivery of the Notice of Objection, the Company and the Shareholder Representative
shall, in good faith, try to resolve any Objections; provided, however, that to the extent that the Company and the
Shareholder Representative shall disagree, the Shareholder Representative’s good faith calculation of the LDI Licensing Event
CVR Net Proceeds and the resulting LDI Licensing Event Net Proceeds Per CVR (as modified to give effect to the results of any discussions
and negotiations pursuant to this clause (iv)) shall control.

(e)                
Procedure for the Entire LDI Sale or upon the Sale Deadline.


 


(i)                 
For a period of ten (10) Business Days following the occurrence of the Sale Deadline, the Company and the Shareholder
Representative shall attempt in good faith to agree on the Fair Market Value of any unsold Equity Interests in LDI then owned by
the Company or any Company Subsidiary. If the Company and the Shareholder Representative do not by mutual consent agree on the
Fair Market Value of any unsold Equity Interests of LDI then owned by the Company or any Company Subsidiary within such ten (10) Business
Day period, then either the Company or the Shareholder Representative may, by written notice to the other (the “Referral
Notice”), determine to refer such dispute to an independent investment banking firm. In the event that either the
Company or the Shareholder Representative determines to refer such dispute to an independent banking firm, then, within ten (10) Business
Days following the date of delivery of the Referral Notice, each of the Company and the Shareholder Representative shall separately,
by written notice to the other, select an internationally recognized independent investment banking firm with expertise in valuing,
selling or providing financing with respect to companies engaged, publicly or privately, in the biotech business and instruct such
investment banks to select and mutually agree upon another such independent investment banking firm to be retained, which such
independent investment banking firm shall be instructed by the parties to, within twenty (20) Business Days from the date
of its retention, prepare and deliver to the Company and the Shareholder Representative such investment banking firm’s written
determination of the Fair Market Value of such unsold Equity Interests of LDI (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include,
nor take into account, any minority, liquidity or similar discount to the valuation of LDI in its entirety). Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Section 2.4, in the event that the Company or any Company Subsidiary enters into
an agreement to sell any unsold Equity Interests in LDI after August 23, 2024 but prior to the final payment of the Sale Deadline
Net Proceeds, then the Fair Market Value of any such unsold Equity Interests of LDI for purposes of this Section 2.4(e)(i)
shall be the greater of (x) the Fair Market Value as determined by either (A) the mutual consent of the Company and the
Shareholder Representative or (B) the independent investment banking firm and (y) the price per Equity Interest of the
Equity Interests of LDI set forth in such agreement (multiplied by the number of unsold Equity Interests of LDI owned by the Company
as of the Sale Deadline). The determination of the Fair Market Value of any unsold Equity Interests in LDI then owned by the Company
or any Company Subsidiary in accordance with this Section 2.4(e)(i) shall be final and binding upon the Company and
the Shareholder Representative and any other Persons for purposes of calculating the Remaining Asset Amount.


 


(ii)               
Promptly following the completion of the Entire LDI Sale or the occurrence of the Sale Deadline, but in no event later than
the later of (A) twenty (20) Business Days thereafter and (B) three (3) Business Days following receipt of
the calculation of the Fair Market Value referenced in Section 2.4(e)(i) above, the Company shall deliver to the Shareholder
Representative (with a copy to the Rights Agent) the Company’s good faith written calculation of the LDI Net Proceeds or
the Sale Deadline Net Proceeds (including any Partial LDI Sales), and the resulting LDI Net Proceeds Per CVR or Sale Deadline Net
Proceeds Per CVR, as applicable (the “Entire CVR Payment Statement”). The Entire CVR Payment Statement
shall incorporate any LDI Sale Expenses of the Shareholder Representative set forth in writing by the Shareholder Representative
to the Company within such twenty (20) Business Day (or applicable later) period, which shall be certified by the Shareholder
Representative. The Company may rely in good faith upon such certification. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall deliver
an Entire CVR Payment Statement even if it believes that there are no LDI Net Proceeds Per CVR or Sale Deadline Net Proceeds Per
CVR due and payable. Such Entire CVR Payment Statement will be accompanied by the Company’s calculation in reasonable detail
of the components of the LDI Net Proceeds or the Sale Deadline Net Proceeds, as applicable, including a good faith written calculation,
in reasonable detail and with supporting documentation, work papers and receipts, of the LDI Sale Expenses incurred by the Company
and its Subsidiaries (other than the Shareholder Representative Reimbursement Amount pursuant to Section 3.3(b)), along
with an Officer’s Certificate certifying such LDI Sale Expenses and that the CVR Payment Amount was calculated in the manner
required under this Agreement. The Shareholder Representative may rely in good faith on such certification.


 


(iii)             
Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Entire CVR Payment Statement, the Shareholder Representative shall deliver
to the Company and the Rights Agent a Notice of Agreement or a Notice of Objection to such Entire CVR Payment Statement. During
such thirty (30) day period, the Company shall cooperate with and permit the Shareholder Representative and any accountant or other
consultant or advisor retained by the Shareholder Representative access during normal business hours to such records and personnel
(including the external auditors of the Company and its Subsidiaries) as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of
the Entire CVR Payment Statement and the amounts underlying the calculation of the entire CVR Payment Amount.



    	 	10	 



     


    




(iv)              
If the Shareholder Representative delivers a Notice of Agreement, then any LDI Net Proceeds Per CVR or Sale Deadline Net
Proceeds Per CVR, as applicable, shall be due and payable to the Holders who were Holders on the date of completion of the Entire
LDI Sale or Sale Deadline pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 2.4(e) below, and, after delivery of
any LDI Net Proceeds Per CVR or Sale Deadline Net Proceeds Per CVR, as applicable, with respect to all Holders to the Rights Agent,
the Company shall thereafter have no further obligations with respect to such LDI Net Proceeds Per CVR or Sale Deadline Net Proceeds
Per CVR. If the Shareholder Representative does not deliver either a Notice of Objection or a Notice of Agreement within such thirty
(30) day period, then the Shareholder Representative shall be deemed to have delivered a Notice of Agreement with respect
to such Entire CVR Payment Statement at the end of such period.


 


(v)               
If the Shareholder Representative delivers a Notice of Objection to the Company within such thirty (30) day period,
such Notice of Objection shall contain the Shareholder Representative’s calculation of the LDI Net Proceeds or the Sale Deadline
Net Proceeds (including any Partial LDI Sales), and the resulting LDI Net Proceeds Per CVR or Sale Deadline Net Proceeds Per CVR,
as applicable. Such Notice of Objection must also be accompanied by a description in reasonable detail of each of the Objections,
and a certificate certifying that the CVR Payment Amount reflected in the Notice of Objection was calculated in the manner required
under this Agreement.


 


(vi)              
If the Company does not agree with any of the Objections, the Objections that are in dispute shall be submitted to a jointly-selected
neutral auditor (the “Neutral Auditor”). Such Neutral Auditor shall, within thirty (30) Business Days
of such submission, resolve any differences between the Company and the Shareholder Representative and such resolution shall, in
the absence of manifest error, be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company, the Shareholder Representative, each of the other
parties hereto and each of the Holders. The costs, fees and expenses of such Neutral Auditor shall be borne equally by the Company
and the Shareholder Representative; with any such costs, fees and expenses of the Shareholder Representative being offset against
any LDI Net Proceeds or the Sale Deadline Net Proceeds (including any Partial LDI Sales), and the resulting LDI Net Proceeds Per
CVR or Sale Deadline Net Proceeds Per CVR, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, any such costs, fees and expenses of such Neutral Auditor to be borne by the Company shall not be
considered to be LDI Sale Expenses. Upon such resolution, the Company and the Shareholder Representative shall notify the Rights
Agent in writing of such resolution and any LDI Net Proceeds Per CVR or Sale Deadline Net Proceeds Per CVR, as applicable, shall
be due and payable to the Holders who were Holders on the date of completion of the Entire LDI Sale or Sale Deadline in respect
of each CVR held by such Holder pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 2.4 below, and, after delivery of any
LDI Net Proceeds Per CVR or Sale Deadline Net Proceeds Per CVR, as applicable, with respect to all Holders, the Rights Agent and
the Company shall thereafter have no further obligations with respect to the LDI Net Proceeds Per CVR or Sale Deadline Net Proceeds
Per CVR and shall, subject to Section 2.4(e), no longer be entitled to (i) any amount to the extent reflected in any such
finally resolved LDI Net Proceeds or Sales Deadline Net Proceeds or (ii) any further LDI Sale Expenses. To the extent that
the LDI Net Proceeds or the Sale Deadline Net Proceeds are less than zero, the Company shall bear any such costs, fees, expenses
or losses.


 


(f)                 
Once any Partial LDI Net Proceeds Per CVR, LDI Licensing Event Net Proceeds Per CVR, LDI Net Proceeds Per CVR, Sale Deadline
Net Proceeds Per CVR or any deferred cash consideration per CVR payable pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(v) becomes due and
payable pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(v), Section 2.4(c), Section 2.4(d), Section 2.4(e)
or Section 2.4(f), the Company shall establish a CVR Payment Date with respect to the CVR Payment Amount that is within
five (5) Business Days thereafter and shall immediately provide written notice to the Rights Agent and Shareholder Representative
of the same. At least two (2) Business Days prior to such CVR Payment Date, the Company shall cause all amounts to be paid
to the Holders on such CVR Payment Date, whether comprised of the Partial LDI Net Proceeds, LDI Licensing Event Net Proceeds, the
LDI Net Proceeds, the Sale Deadline Net Proceeds and/or the aggregate amount of deferred cash consideration payable pursuant to
Section 2.4(a)(v), as applicable, to be delivered to the Rights Agent, who will in turn, on the CVR Payment Date, pay
the applicable Partial LDI Net Proceeds Per CVR, LDI Licensing Event Net Proceeds Per CVR, LDI Net Proceeds Per CVR, Sale Deadline
Net Proceeds Per CVR or deferred cash consideration per CVR payable pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(v) to each of the Holders
by check mailed to the address of each Holder as reflected in the CVR Register as of the close of business on the last Business
Day prior to such CVR Payment Date. Any LDI Sale Expenses to the extent not reflected in the finally resolved LDI Net Proceeds
or Sale Deadline Net Proceeds shall be deducted from any such deferred cash consideration. If no CVR Payment Amount is due and
payable to the Holders pursuant to any Partial LDI Sale, LDI Licensing Event, the Entire LDI Sale or at the Sale Deadline, the
Rights Agent, upon written request from the Company and the Shareholder Representative, shall deliver notice of the same to the
Holders within five (5) Business Days of being notified that no such CVR Payment Amount is owing to the Holders. Whenever
a payment is to be made by the Rights Agent, the Company shall deliver written instructions with respect to such payment that includes
the aggregate amount of such payment to be paid to the Holders, and the amount per CVR to be paid to each such Holder. Until such
written instructions are received by the Rights Agent, the Rights Agent may presume conclusively that no event has occurred that
would require such payment.



    	 	11	 



     


    




(g)               
The Company and the Rights Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted or withheld, from the
CVR Payment Amount otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts as it may be required to deduct and withhold with
respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any provision of state, local or
foreign tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or paid over to or deposited with the relevant Governmental Entity,
such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Holder in respect of which
such deduction and withholding was made.


 


(h)               
Any funds comprising the cash deposited with the Rights Agent under Section 2.4(e) that remain undistributed to the
Holders twelve (12) months after the CVR Payment Date with respect to the Entire LDI Sale or the Sale Deadline shall be delivered
to the Company by the Rights Agent, upon written demand by the Company, and any Holders who have not theretofore received payment
in exchange for such CVRs shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment of their claim therefor; provided, that
to the extent any deferred cash consideration pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(v) becomes due and payable after such date,
such deferred cash consideration shall be deposited with the Rights Agent pursuant to Section 2.4(e) and any such funds
that remain undistributed shall only be delivered to the Company, upon written demand by the Company, twelve (12) months after
the Rights Agent’s receipt thereof, and upon delivery of such funds to the Company, the escheatment obligations of the Rights
Agent with respect to such funds shall terminate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any portion of the consideration
provided by the Company to the Rights Agent that remains unclaimed immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise
escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Entity shall, to the extent permitted by Law, become the property of the Company
free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto, subject to any escheatment Laws.


 


(i)                 
During the period that the Rights Agent is in possession of the funds delivered to the Rights Agent for payment to Holders,
the Rights Agent shall identify, report and deliver all unclaimed portions of such amounts and related unclaimed property to all
states and jurisdictions for the Company in accordance with applicable abandoned property law. None of the Company, the Shareholder
Representative or the Rights Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any funds delivered to a public official in compliance
with any applicable state, federal or other abandoned property, escheat or similar law. In consideration of receiving compensation
from the agents of the states for processing and support services provided by the Rights Agent relating to initial compliance with
applicable abandoned property law, the Rights Agent shall not charge the Company for such services. In connection with providing
such services, the Rights Agent may use the services of a locating service provider selected by the Rights Agent to locate and
contact Holders, if any, who have not yet cashed their checks representing payment of the funds deposited with the Rights Agent
for payment to the Holders, which provider has agreed to compensate the Rights Agent for processing and other services the Rights
Agent provides in connection with such locating services. Such provider shall inform any such located Holders that they may choose
either (i) to contact the Rights Agent directly to receive a check for payment of such amounts at no charge other than any
applicable fees contemplated herein, or (ii) to utilize the services of such provider for a fee to be specified in writing
to such Holder, which may not exceed the lesser of 15% of the total value of such payment amount or the maximum statutory fee permitted
by the applicable state jurisdiction. If the Company requires the Rights Agent to work with a locating service provider other than
one selected by the Rights Agent, additional fees may apply.


 


(j)                 
The Rights Agent shall not be obligated to perform wage or Form W-2 tax reporting, and to the extent that any wage or W-2
reporting is required with respect to the payment of any funds hereunder to Holders, the Company shall promptly notify the Rights
Agent of the Person responsible for such wage or W-2 reporting.



    	 	12	 



     


    




(k)               
All funds received by the Rights Agent under this Agreement, regardless of their origin, that are to be distributed or applied
by the Rights Agent in the performance of its duties, obligations and responsibilities hereunder (the “Funds”)
shall be held by Computershare as agent for the Company and deposited in one or more bank accounts to be maintained by Computershare
in its name as agent for the Company. Until disbursed pursuant to this Agreement, Computershare may hold or invest the Funds through
such accounts in obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States of America. The Rights Agent shall have no responsibility
or liability for any diminution of the Funds that may result from any deposit or investment made by the Rights Agent in accordance
with this paragraph, including any losses resulting from a default by any bank, financial institution or other third party. Computershare
may from time to time receive interest, dividends or other earnings in connection with such deposits or investments, which will
be added to the Funds. No interest shall accrue for the benefit of any Person, on any funds deposited with the Rights Agent pursuant
to this Agreement, as any such investment income will become additional Funds and attributable under this Agreement to all Holders.
Independent of any earnings from the bank accounts for Funds maintained by Computershare in its name as agent for the Company,
Computershare shall not be obligated to calculate or pay such interest, dividends or earnings to the Company, any Holder or any
other Person.


 


Section 2.5                 
No Voting, Dividends or Interest; No Equity or Ownership Interest in the Company.


 


(a)                
The CVRs shall not have any voting or dividend rights, and interest shall not accrue on any amounts payable on the CVRs
to any Holder (without prejudice to the inclusion in LDI Net Proceeds, LDI Licensing Event Net Proceeds and Sale Deadline Net Proceeds
of the amounts referenced in Section 2.6).


 


(b)               
The CVRs shall not represent any equity or ownership interest in the Company or any of their Affiliates.


 


Section 2.6                 
Establishment of LDI CVR Bank Account. Any amounts paid to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with
any Partial LDI Sale, any LDI Licensing Event, any Entire LDI Sale or in connection with any deferred cash consideration with respect
thereto shall be held in a segregated bank account at a banking institution reasonably acceptable to the Shareholder Representative
established and maintained for the benefit of the Holders and invested in one or more Qualified Investments until any CVR Payment
Amount is required to be paid pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
other than in connection with any payment pursuant to Section 2.4(e), the Company shall not withdraw any amounts from
such bank account without the prior written consent of the Shareholder Representative (with notice of such consent provided to
the Rights Agent).

rights or interests may appear in the CVR Register.


 


Section 3.2                 
Certain Rights of Rights Agent.


 


The Rights Agent undertakes to perform such
duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no implied duties, covenants or obligations shall
be read into this Agreement against the Rights Agent. In addition:

consent, order 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;

Section 3.3                 
Indemnity and Expenses.


 


(a)                
The Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Shareholder Representative Person and the Rights Agent for,
and to hold each Shareholder Representative Person and the Rights Agent harmless against, any loss, liability, judgment, fine,
penalty, claim, demand, suit, cost, damage or expense, including reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable costs
and expenses of legal counsel) arising out of or in connection with the Rights Agent’s and the Shareholder Representative’s
respective duties under this Agreement, including the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of defending the Rights Agent
and each individual member of the Committee that comprises or controls the Shareholder Representative against any claims, charges,
demands, investigations, suits or loss or liability, or enforcement of its rights hereunder, unless it shall have been finally
determined by a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to be a direct result of the Rights Agent’s or such Shareholder
Representative Person’s, as applicable, gross negligence, bad faith or willful or intentional misconduct. The right to indemnification
conferred in this Section 3.3(a) shall include the right to be paid or reimbursed by the Company for the reasonable
expenses incurred by such Person entitled to be indemnified under this Section 3.3(a) who was, or is threatened to
be made a named defendant or respondent in a claim, charge, demand, investigation or suit in advance of the final disposition thereof
and without any determination as to the Person’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification. The rights granted pursuant to
this Section 3.3(a) shall be deemed contract rights, and no amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 3.3(a)
shall have the effect of limiting or denying any such rights with respect to claims, charges, demands, investigations and suits
arising prior to any such amendment, modification or repeal. The Shareholder Representative Person’s aggregate liability
to any Person with respect to, arising from, or arising in connection with this Agreement, or from all services provided or omitted
to be provided under this Agreement, whether in contract, or in tort, or otherwise, is limited to, and shall not exceed, the amounts
paid hereunder by the Company to the Shareholder Representative as fees and charges, but not including reimbursable expenses. Indemnification
under this Section 3.3(a) shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled
such Person to indemnity hereunder. Any such amounts incurred by the Company in connection with this Section 3.3(a)
shall be an LDI Sale Expense. The costs and expenses incurred in enforcing this right of indemnification shall be paid by the Company.

(b)

and expenses incurred at the direction of the Shareholder Representative pursuant to this Agreement (“Shareholder Representative
Reimbursement Amount”). Any Shareholder Representative Reimbursement Amount and any amounts (and only such amounts)
shall be included in the calculation of LDI Sale Expenses and LDI Licensing Expenses hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Company or one of its Affiliates shall pay all LDI Sale Expenses and LDI Licensing Expenses, including any such LDI Sale Expenses
and LDI Licensing Expenses incurred at the direction of the Shareholder Representative, subject to the deduction of such LDI Sale
Expenses and LDI Licensing Expenses from the payments to the Holders as is provided for hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
after the completion of an Entire LDI Sale, the Company’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, will be required
for any fees or expenses that the Shareholder Representative may wish to incur pursuant to this Section 3.3(b), to
the extent that the aggregate amount of such fees and expenses would exceed the amount of deferred consideration reasonably expected
from such Entire LDI Sale.


 


(c)                
The Company agrees, in all events (i) to pay the fees and expenses of the Rights Agent in connection with this Agreement

preparation, delivery, amendment, administration and execution of this Agreement and the exercise and performance of its duties
hereunder. Any invoice for any out-of-pocket expenses and per item fees realized will be rendered and payable by the Company within
thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company, except for postage and mailing expenses, which funds must be received one (1) Business
Day prior to the scheduled mailing date. For the avoidance of doubt, such fees, expenses and reimbursements contained in this Section 3.3
shall be LDI Sale Expenses or LDI Licensing Expenses, as applicable.

or (ii) at any time the Rights Agent shall become incapable of acting, the incumbent Rights Agent, the Shareholder Representative
or the Company may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Rights Agent, if applicable, and the appointment
of a successor Rights Agent.


 


(d)               
If at any time any individual members of the committee that comprises or controls the Shareholder Representative shall resign,
be removed or become incapable of acting, the remaining members of the committee that comprises or controls the Shareholder Representative
shall promptly appoint a qualified successor individual member to such committee. If the individual members of the committee that
comprises or controls the Shareholder Representative unanimously determine that a third committee member would be appropriate,
then the members of the committee that comprises or controls the Shareholder Representative shall appoint, upon unanimous agreement,
a qualified individual member to such committee. The successor or additional individual member so appointed shall, forthwith upon
its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with this Section 3.4(d), become a successor or additional individual
member of the committee comprising the Shareholder Representative; provided, that (x) such successor or additional
individual member of the committee comprising the Shareholder Representative may not be a director, officer or employee of the
Company or any of its Affiliates and (y) the Company agrees to indemnify the Shareholder Representative for any and all actions
taken in connection with this Section 3.4(d).

the Shareholder Representative and each appointment of a successor Rights Agent or individual member of the committee comprising
the Shareholder Representative to the Holders within ten (10) days after receipt of notice thereof and all necessary information
from the Company. Each such notice provided to the Rights Agent, Shareholder Representative, or Holders shall include the name
and address of the successor Rights Agent or Shareholder Representative, as applicable.


 


Section 3.5                 
Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.


 


Every successor Rights Agent or Shareholder
Representative appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Rights Agent or Shareholder
Representative, as applicable, an instrument accepting such appointment and a counterpart of this Agreement, and thereupon such
successor Rights Agent or Shareholder Representative, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all
the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Rights Agent or Shareholder Representative (as applicable); but, on
request of the Company or the successor Rights Agent, such retiring Rights Agent shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring

Company is merged or the Person that acquires by conveyance or transfer, or that leases, the properties and assets of the Company
substantially as an entirety (the “Surviving Person”) shall expressly assume payment of amounts on all
the CVRs and the performance of every duty and covenant of this Agreement on the part of the Company to be performed or observed;

Section 7.6                 
Governing Law.


 


This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to Laws that may be applicable under conflicts of
laws principles (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any
jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Other than with respect to disputes submitted to an independent investment banking
firm under Section 2.4(e)(i) or the Neutral Auditor under Section 2.4(e)(vi), each party hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery in the State of
Delaware and any appellate court thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in such court, (ii) agrees that any
claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Delaware court, (iii) waives, to the
fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of
any such action or proceeding in such Delaware court, and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense
of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in such Delaware court. Each of the parties agrees that
a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the
manner provided for notices in Section 7.1. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement
to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.


 


Section 7.7                 
Waiver of Jury Trial.


 


EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES
THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE
IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY
OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE
EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (III) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY,
AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS

Section 7.8                 
Remedies.


 


The parties hereto agree that irreparable
damage would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement
(including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise
breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.10,
(a) the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of
this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof without proof of damages or the posting of any collateral,
bond or other security, this being in addition to any other remedy available at law, in equity, under this Agreement or otherwise
and (b) the right of injunctive relief, specific enforcement and other equitable relief is an integral part of this Agreement
and transactions related hereto. The parties, other than the Rights Agent, also agree that the non-prevailing party (as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order) in any litigation relating to the enforcement of this Agreement
shall reimburse the prevailing party for all costs incurred by the prevailing party (including reasonable legal fees in connection
with any litigation). To the extent the Shareholder Representative is the non-prevailing party, its reimbursement obligation under
this Section 7.8 shall be an LDI Sale Expense or LDI Licensing Expense, as applicable.

Section 7.9                 
Severability Clause.


 


If any term or other provision of this Agreement
is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or
public policy, all other terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect.
Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto
shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law; provided, however, that if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision
shall adversely affect the rights, immunities, liabilities, duties or obligations of the Rights Agent, the Rights Agent shall be
entitled to resign immediately upon written notice to the Company.


 


Section 7.10              
Termination.


 


This Agreement and each CVR shall be terminated
and of no further force or effect, and the parties hereto shall have no liability hereunder (except as expressly provided herein),
upon (i) the one (1) year anniversary of the later of (a) the payment of all Partial LDI Net Proceeds, LDI Licensing
Event Net Proceeds, LDI Net Proceeds, Sale Deadline Net Proceeds and the payment of all deferred cash consideration pursuant to
Section 2.4(a)(v), or (b) the Sale Deadline, or (ii) the written agreement of the Company and the Shareholder
Representative to terminate this Agreement. Notice of any such termination will be promptly mailed by the Rights Agent, upon the
written request of the Company and the Shareholder Representative and accompanied by the form of such notice, to the Holders. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Section 3.1, Section 3.2, Section 3.3,
and this ARTICLE VII shall survive the expiration of the CVRs, the termination of this Agreement indefinitely and the resignation,
replacement or removal of the Rights Agent.


 


Section 7.11              
Entire Agreement.


 


This Agreement, all documents and instruments
referenced herein and therein, and all exhibits and schedules attached to the foregoing, constitute the entire agreement of the
parties (other than the Rights Agent) and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among
the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as between the
Rights Agent, on the one hand, and any other person or entity, on the other hand, this Agreement alone constitutes the entire understanding
and agreement of such parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.


 


Section 7.12              
Further Assurance.


 


The Company agrees that it will perform,
execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further and other acts,
instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required or requested by the Rights Agent for the carrying out or performing by
the Rights Agent of the provisions of this Agreement.


 


Section 7.13              
Force Majeure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Rights Agent will not be liable for
any delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its reasonable control including, without limitation, acts of
God, terrorist acts, shortage of supply, breakdowns or malfunctions, interruptions or malfunction of computer facilities, or loss
of data due to power failures or mechanical difficulties with information storage or retrieval systems, labor difficulties, war,
or civil unrest.

Section 7.14              
Suits for Enforcement.


 


In a case where breach has occurred, has
not been waived and is continuing, the Shareholder Representative may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights
vested in it by this Agreement by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Shareholder Representative shall deem most effectual
to protect and enforce any of such rights (unless authorization and/or appearance of each of the Holders is required by applicable
Law), either at Law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement
contained in this Agreement or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Agreement or to enforce any other legal or equitable
right vested in the Shareholder Representative by this Agreement or by Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, but without limiting any of the rights of the Rights Agent, any liability of any of the parties hereunder (including
the Shareholder Representative) for breach of its obligations under this Agreement shall not (other than in connection with fraud
or willful misconduct, or third party claims from third parties arising out of such party’s breach of this Agreement) include
any unforeseeable and remote indirect or consequential damages, or any special or punitive damages. Subject to the immediately
preceding sentence, any liability of the Company may include the benefit of the bargain lost by the Holders to the extent proximately
caused by such breach (taking into consideration relevant matters, including the total amount payable to such Holders under this
Agreement but for such breach, the time value of money, and any costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Shareholder Representative
Persons in connection therewith) which shall be deemed in such event to be damages recoverable by the Shareholder Representative
for the benefit of the Holders. With respect to any party other than the Company, under no circumstances shall such party be liable
for monetary damages hereunder.


 


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties
has caused this Agreement to be executed on its behalf by its duly authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

Re: CVRs issued by Capstone Therapeutics
Corp.


 


Ladies and Gentlemen:


______________________ as Holder intends
to transfer the above captioned CVR to ______________________ (“Permitted Transferee”), for registration
in the name of ______________________.


 


1.       In
connection with such transfer and in accordance with Section 2.3(c) of the LDI CONTINGENT VALUE RIGHTS AGREEMENT, dated
as of August 23, 2019, entered into by and among Capstone Therapeutics Corp., a Delaware corporation, Computershare Inc. and its
wholly owned subsidiary, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., together as rights agent, and the Shareholder Representative (the “Agreement”),
the Holder hereby certifies that this transfer is a Permitted Transfer and that the Permitted Transferee is permitted to hold the
CVRs in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.


 


2.       The
transfer is a Permitted Transfer for the following reason:


 


[Check the appropriate box and initial
any applicable substatement]


 


		☐	The CVRs are being transferred as a result of the death of a Holder by will or intestacy.



 


_____ An official copy of the death certificate of
the Holder and such Holder’s last will and testament and a signed copy of Letters Testamentary, Letters of Administration
or equivalent document dated within 60 days are being provided herewith.


 


_____ An official copy of the death certificate of
the Holder is being provided herewith; the Holder has no will and the CVRs are passing via the rules of intestacy.


 


		☐	The CVRs are being transferred by instrument to an inter vivos or testamentary trust in which the CVRs are to be passed to
beneficiaries upon the death of the trustee. The trustee is the Holder immediately prior to the transfer. Official copies of the
death certificates and applicable trust documents authorizing distribution to the named beneficiaries are being provided herewith.



 


		☐	The CVRs are being transferred pursuant to a court order (including a court order issued in connection with divorce, bankruptcy
or liquidation). A copy of the court order and, if appointed, evidence of appointment as: Tutor, Guardian, Conservator, Committee,
Attorney or Agent dated within 60 days are being provided herewith.



 


		☐	The Holder is a corporation and the CVRs are being transferred pursuant to a distribution by the Holder to its stockholders.
Such distribution does not subject the CVRs to a requirement of registration under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and the
company has reasonably determined after consultation with counsel that such distribution does not subject the CVRs to a requirement
of registration under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. A copy of the unanimous written consent of the board of the company
or an executed copy of the corporate resolution dated within 180 days authorizing and approving such distribution (and authorizing
the signing officer to effect the transaction) and a certificate by or on behalf of the company stating that that such distribution
does not subject the CVRs to a requirement of registration under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act are being provided herewith.
Evidence of such Permitted Transferee being a shareholder of the Holder is also being provided herewith. The corporate resolution,
if provided, is not executed solely by the signing officer.



     


     


    

		☐	The Holder is a partnership and the CVRs are being transferred pursuant to a distribution by the Holder to its partners. Such
distribution does not subject the CVRs to a requirement of registration under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. A copy of
the current partnership agreement is being provided herewith, together with evidence of the authority of any signatory on behalf
of the partnership.



 


		☐	The Holder is a limited liability company and the CVRs are being transferred pursuant to a distribution by the Holder to its
members. Such distribution does not subject the CVRs to a requirement of registration under the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act. A copy of the operating agreement is being provided herewith, together with an executed copy of the resolution dated within
180 days authorizing the signing managing member/manager to effect the transaction. If the limited liability company has more than
one managing member/manager, this resolution is not executed solely by the signing managing member/manager.



 


		☐	The CVRs are being transferred by a transfer made by operation of law (including a consolidation, dissolution or merger) or
without consideration in connection with the dissolution, liquidation or termination of any corporation, limited liability company,
partnership or other entity. Documents sufficiently evidencing such activities are being provided herewith, together with, if such
transfer by operation of law requires shareholder or board of director or similar approval, an executed copy of the resolution
dated within 180 days authorizing the signing officer, managing member/manager or other signatory to effect the event. If
such entity has more than one signing officer, managing member/manager or other signatory, this resolution is not executed solely
by the signing officer, managing member/manager or other signatory.



 


3.       If
not previously provided to the Rights Agent and if requested by the Rights Agent, a fully completed and executed Form W-9 or Form
W-8, as applicable, of the Permitted Transferee is being provided herewith.


 


4.       All
capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have such meanings as are ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.


 


5.       By
execution hereof the Permitted Transferee agrees to be bound, as Holder, by all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Agreement.


 


6.       This
document may be executed in one or more counterparts and by the different parties hereof on separate counterparts, each of which,
when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original; such counterparts, together, shall constitute one and the same document. The
Holder and the Permitted Transferee both understand that the Rights Agent may require a Medallion Guarantee of Signature at a level
acceptable to the Rights Agent.
