On May 29, 2026, Lisata Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Company" or "Lisata") and Kuva Labs Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), together with Kuva Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Purchaser"), entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") to the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 6, 2026, by and among Parent, Purchaser and the Company (the "Original Merger Agreement" and, as it may be amended from time to time, the "Merger Agreement"). Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company, Parent and Purchaser agreed to amend the offer price per share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Shares"), of the Company under the Original Merger Agreement from (A) (i) $5.00 per Common Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, but subject to any applicable withholding of taxes plus (ii) one (1) non-tradeable contingent value right (each, a "CVR") which represents the contractual right to receive a contingent cash payment of $1.00 per CVR, subject to achievement of a specified milestone, to (B) (i) $4.00 per Common Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, but subject to any applicable withholding of taxes plus (ii) one non-tradeable contingent value right which represents the contractual right to receive two contingent cash payments of up to an aggregate of $3.00 per CVR, subject to achievement of specified milestones.

Pursuant to the Amendment, the form of contingent value rights agreement attached to the Original Merger Agreement was amended and restated in its entirety as set forth in the form of contingent rights agreement attached to the Amendment as Exhibit A thereto (the "CVR Agreement"). Under the CVR Agreement, each CVR represents a non-tradable contractual contingent right to receive one (1) contingent cash payment of $1.25 per CVR (the "First Milestone Payment") upon the achievement of, with respect to a Phase 2a, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, proof-of-concept study evaluating LSTA1 when added to standard of care (temozolomide) versus temozolomide and matching LSTA1 placebo in subjects with newly diagnosed Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) (Protocol Number: LSTA1-GBM-2A), (i) completion of enrollment of such trial, (ii) the enrollment of at least 90% of the target number of subjects of such trial or (iii) the termination of such trial by its sponsor for any reason (with the term "enrollment" meaning the process of registering qualified participants into such trial after confirming eligibility and obtaining informed consent, marking the point at which the participant becomes a subject of such trial) (the "First Milestone"), which shall be due and payable on the later of December 15, 2026 and the date that is forty-five (45) days following the achievement of the First Milestone, and one (1) contingent cash payment of $1.75 per CVR (the "Second Milestone Payment" and, collectively with the First Milestone Payment, the "Milestone Payments") upon the achievement of the filing or formal acceptance for review by any Governmental Body (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of any (i) New Drug Application submitted to the FDA in the U.S. in accordance with the FDCA requesting approval to market or commercialize any pharmaceutical product that contains or incorporates the product candidate referred to as certepetide (formerly LSTA1 or CEND-1), alone or in combination with one or more other therapeutically active ingredients, including all formulations, dosages, or modes of delivery thereof (the "CVR Product") for any indication or patient population, or (ii) analogous application or submission to any other applicable Governmental Body requesting approval to market or commercialize the CVR Product for any indication or patient population (the "Second Milestone" and, collectively with the First Milestone, the **"**Milestones"), which shall be due and payable on the date that is forty-five (45) days following the achievement of the Second Milestone, in each case, prior to the earliest of (a) the mailing by the Rights Agent to the address or the payment of the Rights Agent to each holder of the Milestone Payment, (b) 11:59 p.m. New York City Time on the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Closing Date (as defined below), and (c) termination of the CVR Agreement. The CVR Agreement provides that, in the event that Parent fails to pay the First Milestone Payment in full on or prior to the date that it is due and payable, all unpaid amounts shall accrue interest commencing on such date, at a rate equal to the least of (x) ten percent (10%) per annum, (y) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or any successor administrator thereof) as of such date, plus five percent (5%) per annum, and (z) the maximum rate permitted under applicable Law, in each case calculated on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, until all such amounts are paid in full.

In addition, pursuant to the Amendment, the Company, Parent and Purchaser agreed that, upon commencement of the tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the "Offer") on June 1, 2026, the date by which Purchaser is obligated under the Merger Agreement to commence the Offer would automatically be extended from May 29, 2026 to June 1, 2026, or such other date as may be agreed to between the Company and Parent. The Amendment also extended the Outside Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement) from July 1, 2026 to July 6, 2026.

#### Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties; accordingly, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially due to several factors. Factors that could cause future results to differ materially include: risks associated with the timing of the commencement of the tender, including the risk that Parent may not commence the tender offer promptly or at all; risks associated with the timing of the closing of the proposed transaction, including the risks that a condition to closing would not be satisfied within the expected timeframe or at all or that the closing of the proposed transaction will not occur; uncertainties as to how many of Lisata's stockholders will tender their shares in the offer; the possibility that competing offers will be made; the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, including circumstances requiring the Parent or the Company to pay a termination fee pursuant to the Merger Agreement and circumstances affecting the ability of such party to make such payment; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted by or against the parties and others related to the Merger Agreement; unanticipated difficulties or expenditures relating to the proposed transaction; the response of business partners to the announcement of the proposed transaction, and/or potential difficulties in employee retention as a result of the announcement and pendency of the proposed transaction; the possibility that the milestone payments related to the CVR will never be achieved and that no milestone payments may be made; the risk that any stockholder litigation in connection with the proposed transactions may result in significant costs of defense, indemnification and liability; Lisata's ability to successfully demonstrate the efficacy and safety of its product candidates, and the preclinical or clinical results for its product candidates, which may not support further development of such product candidates; comments, feedback and actions of regulatory agencies; Lisata's dependence on the successful clinical development, regulatory approval and commercialization of its product candidates; the inherent uncertainties associated with developing new products or technologies and operating as clinical stage company; the Company's cash sufficiency and runway; and other risks identified in Lisata's SEC filings, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and subsequent filings with the SEC.

ARTICLE II

CONTINGENT VALUE RIGHTS

Section 2.1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>CVRs</u>. Each CVR represents the contractual right of a Holder (granted to each Initial Holder as part of the consideration of the Offer and the Merger pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and to each holder of a Surviving Warrant when such Surviving Warrant is exercised in accordance with its terms) to receive the Milestone Payments pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Agreement.

Section 2.2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Nontransferable</u>. The CVRs 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 CVR Transfer; the foregoing restrictions shall apply notwithstanding that certain of the CVRs will be held through DTC. Any attempted sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, encumbrance or disposition of CVRs, in whole or in part, in violation of this <u>Section 2.2</u> shall be void *ab initio* and of no effect. The CVRs will not be listed on any quotation system or traded on any securities exchange.

Section 2.3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>No Certificate; Registration; Registration of Transfer; Change of Address</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The CVRs will not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Rights Agent will create and maintain a register (the "<u>CVR Register</u>") for the purpose of (i) identifying the Holders of CVRs and (ii) registering CVRs in book-entry position and Permitted CVR Transfers thereof. The CVR Register shall set forth (x) with respect to holders of Shares that hold such Shares in book-entry form through DTC immediately prior to the Effective Time, one (1) book-entry position for Cede & Co. (as nominee of DTC) for the applicable number of CVRs to which such holders are entitled with respect to all such Shares that were tendered in the Offer or converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as a consequence of the Merger in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, (y) with respect to (A) holders of Shares that hold such Shares in certificated form immediately prior to the Effective Time that were tendered in the Offer or converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as a consequence of the Merger in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon delivery to the Depositary by each such holder of the applicable stock certificates, together with a validly executed letter of transmittal and such other customary documents as may be reasonably requested by the Depositary, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, (B) holders of Shares that hold such Shares in book-entry form through the Company's transfer agent immediately prior to Effective Time, (C) holders of Company Restricted Stock, (D) holders of Company RSUs, and (E) holders of In-The-Money Company Stock Options, in each case of <u>clauses (A)</u> through <u>(E)</u>, the applicable number of CVRs to which each such holder is entitled pursuant to the Merger Agreement and (z) with respect to holders of Surviving Warrants that exercise such Surviving Warrants, the applicable number of CVRs to which each such holder is entitled pursuant to the terms of Surviving Warrant in a denomination equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock (subject to adjustment to appropriately reflect any reclassification, subdivision, stock split, combination, reverse stock split, stock dividend and the like) for which such Surviving Warrant has been exercised (other than, in the case of the foregoing clauses (x), (y)(A) and (y)(B), those who have perfected their appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware). Upon the exercise of any Surviving Warrant in accordance with its terms, the CVRs issued shall be initially registered in the name and address of the holder of such Surviving Warrant as set forth in the records of the Company at the Effective Time. Parent shall promptly notify the Rights Agent of the exercise of any such Surviving Warrant and provide all information and documents reasonably requested by the Rights Agent regarding the same. The CVR Register will be updated as necessary by the Rights Agent to reflect the addition or removal of Holders (pursuant to any Permitted CVR Transfers), upon the written receipt of such information by the Rights Agent.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in <u>Section 2.2</u>, every request made to transfer a CVR must be in writing and accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Rights Agent pursuant to its guidelines, duly executed by the Holder thereof, the Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, the Holder's personal representative duly authorized in writing, or the Holder's survivor (with written documentation evidencing such person's status as the Holder's survivor), and setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances relating to the requested transfer. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Rights Agent will, subject to its reasonable determination that the transfer instrument is in proper form and the transfer otherwise complies with the other terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the provisions of <u>Section 2.2</u>), register the transfer of the CVRs in the CVR Register. As a condition of such transfer, Parent and the Rights Agent may require a transferring Holder or its transferee to pay to the applicable Governmental Body any transfer, stamp or other similar Tax or governmental charge that is imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer. The Rights Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any action under any section of this Agreement that requires the payment by a Holder of a CVR of such applicable Taxes or charges unless and until the Rights Agent is reasonably satisfied that all such Taxes or charges have been paid or that such Taxes or charges are not applicable. All CVRs duly transferred in accordance with <u>Section 2.2</u> that are registered in the CVR Register will be the valid obligations of Parent and will 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 will be valid until registered in the CVR Register in accordance with this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Rights Agent will promptly record the change of address in the CVR Register.

Section 2.4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Payment Procedures; Notices</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If a Milestone is achieved prior to the Termination, then, in the case of the First Milestone on or prior to the later of December 15, 2026 and the date that is forty-five (45) days following the achievement of the First Milestone, and in the case of the Second Milestone on or prior to the date that is forty-five (45) days following the achievement of the Second Milestone, (in each case, such date, the "<u>Milestone Payment Date</u>"), (A) Parent shall deliver to the Rights Agent (x) a written notice indicating that such Milestone has been achieved (the "<u>Milestone Notice</u>") and an Officer's Certificate certifying the date of such achievement and that the Holders are entitled to receive a Milestone Payment, (y) any letter of instruction reasonably required by the Rights Agent, which shall set forth such Milestone Payment as of the date of the Milestone Notice, and (B) Parent shall deliver to the Rights Agent (or to the Surviving Corporation or another of its Affiliates in the case of payments with respect to Equity Award CVRs, if such payments will not be made by Parent) the payment required by <u>Section 4.2</u>, if being delivered to the Rights Agent to the account set forth on <u>Annex I</u> hereto, which account information may be updated from time to time by the Rights Agent by prior written notice to Parent (the "<u>Rights Agent Account</u>"). For the avoidance of doubt, (i) each Milestone Payment will only be due once, if at all, subject to the conditions set forth herein, (ii) the First Milestone Payment will become due and payable on the later of December 15, 2026 and the date that is forty-five (45) days following the achievement of the First Milestone, (iii) the Second Milestone Payment will become due and payable on the date that is forty-five (45) days following the achievement of the Second Milestone, and (v) no amounts will be due for subsequent or repeated achievements of a Milestone. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall have no further liability in respect of each Milestone Payment upon delivery of such Milestone Payment in accordance with this <u>Section 2.4(a)</u> and the satisfaction of each of Parent's obligations set forth in this <u>Section 2.4(a)</u>. In the event that Parent fails to pay the First Milestone Payment in full on or prior to the applicable Milestone Payment Date, all unpaid amounts shall accrue interest commencing on the applicable Milestone Payment Date, at a rate equal to the least of (x) ten percent (10%) per annum, (y) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("<u>SOFR</u>") as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or any successor administrator thereof) as of the applicable Milestone Payment Date, plus five percent (5%) per annum, and (z) the maximum rate permitted under applicable Law, in each case calculated on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, until all such amounts are paid in full.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Rights Agent will promptly, and in any event within ten (10) days after receipt of a Milestone Notice and the payment required by <u>Section 4.2</u>, as well as any letter of instruction reasonably required by the Rights Agent, send each Holder at its registered address a copy of a Milestone Notice and pay a Milestone Payment Amount to each Holder (other than a holder of an Equity Award CVR) (i) by check mailed to the address of each Holder as reflected in the CVR Register as of the close of business on the date of a Milestone Notice or (ii) with respect to any such Holder that is due an amount in excess of $100,000 in the aggregate who has provided the Rights Agent wiring instructions in writing as of the close of business on the date of the Milestone Notice in accordance with the Rights Agent's requirements, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified on such instruction. Parent will cause the Rights Agent to pay a Milestone Payment Amount to such Holder or Holders of an Equity Award CVR within ten (10) days of the delivery of the Milestone Notice to the Rights Agent, subject to <u>Section 2.4(c)</u>; <u>provided</u>, that if the Rights Agent is unable to make such payments, then Parent may cause the Surviving Corporation or another of its Affiliates to pay a Milestone Payment Amount to Holders of an Equity Award CVR through its or their payroll systems or its or their designated payroll service provider; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that Parent shall not be relieved of its obligation to pay or cause to be paid to the Holders of Equity Award CVRs all payments to the Holders of Equity Award CVRs required under this <u>Section 2.4(b)</u> on or prior to the date on which such amounts are otherwise due and payable based on the availability or capabilities of the Rights Agent or any payroll system or service provider.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Parent and its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) and the Rights Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any Milestone Payment Amount or any other amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld therefrom under applicable Law. With respect to Initial Holders who received Equity Award CVRs, to the extent the Rights Agent is unable to make such withholding, any such withholding may be made, or caused to be made, by Parent through the Surviving Corporation's or its Affiliates' payroll system or any designated payroll service provider. Prior to paying any Milestone Payment Amount to the Holders, the Rights Agent shall provide the opportunity for each Holder to provide a copy of a duly executed IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8, as applicable, or any other forms or information that the Rights Agent may reasonably request in order to avoid or reduce any applicable withholding amount. The Rights Agent or Parent, as applicable, shall promptly and timely remit, or cause to be remitted, any amounts withheld in respect of Taxes to the appropriate Governmental Body. To the extent any amounts are so deducted and withheld and properly remitted, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made. The parties intend that each Equity Award CVR is exempt from or in compliance with Section 409A of the Code, and this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in accordance therewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Milestone Payment that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be allocated or paid in respect of any Equity Award CVR except to the extent permissible under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(iv)(A), including that no such Milestone Payment that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be allocated or paid in respect of any Equity Award CVR following the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date. Each Milestone Payment in respect of an Equity Award CVR is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) and shall be paid on the same schedule and under the same terms and conditions as apply to Milestone Payments to Initial Holders generally in the Merger. None of the parties to this Agreement nor any of their employees, directors or representatives shall have any liability to a Holder or transferee or other Person in respect of Section 409A of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Any portion of a Milestone Payment Amount that remains undistributed twelve (12) months after the date of the delivery of a Milestone Notice will be delivered by the Rights Agent to Parent, upon demand, and any Holder will thereafter look only to Parent for payment of such Milestone Payment Amount, without interest, but such Holder will have no greater rights against Parent than those accorded to general unsecured creditors of Parent under applicable Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; None of Parent, any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) or the Rights Agent will be liable to any person in respect of each Milestone Payment Amount or portion thereof delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If, despite commercially reasonable efforts by the Rights Agent to deliver a Milestone Payment Amount to the applicable Holder pursuant to the Rights Agent's customary unclaimed funds procedures, such Milestone Payment Amount has not been paid prior to the two (2) year anniversary of such Milestone Payment Date (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which such Milestone Payment Amount would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Body), the Milestone Payment Amount will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto. In addition to and not in limitation of any other indemnity obligation herein, Parent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Rights Agent with respect to any liability, penalty, cost or expense the Rights Agent may incur or be subject to in connection with transferring such property to Parent.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Rights Agent shall be responsible for information reporting required under applicable Law with respect to the CVRs, including on Internal Revenue Service Form 1099-B or other applicable form to the extent required under applicable Law. Parent shall provide the Rights Agent with properly completed "Standard Tax Reporting Instructions" contained in Annex II hereto, and the Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Rights Agent to provide any other information reasonably necessary for the Rights Agent to carry out its obligations in this <u>Section 2.4(f)</u>.

Section 2.5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>No Voting, Dividends or Interest; No Equity or Ownership Interest in Parent or any of its Affiliates</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The CVRs will not have any voting or dividend rights, and interest will not accrue on any amounts payable on the CVRs to any Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The CVRs will not represent any equity or ownership interest in Parent, any constituent corporation party to the Merger Agreement or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; None of Parent or its directors and officers or other Affiliates will be deemed to have any fiduciary duties to any Holder by virtue of this Agreement or the CVRs.

Section 2.6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Holding of Funds</u>. All funds received by the Rights Agent under this Agreement that are to be distributed or applied by the Rights Agent in the performance of its services hereunder (the "<u>Funds</u>") shall be held by the Rights Agent as agent for Parent and deposited in one or more segregated bank accounts to be maintained by the Rights Agent in its name as agent for Parent. Until paid pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Rights Agent will hold the Funds through such accounts in deposit accounts of commercial banks with Tier 1 capital exceeding $1 billion or with an average rating above investment grade by S&P (LT Local Issuer Credit Rating), Moody's (Long Term Rating) and Fitch Ratings, Inc. (LT Issuer Default Rating) (each as reported by Bloomberg Finance L.P.). The Rights Agent shall keep funds received by it under this Agreement separate on its books and records so that such deposits can be subsequently identified on an individual basis and any such funds shall not be invested by the Rights Agent and shall not be used for any purpose not expressly provided for in this Agreement or the Merger Agreement.

Section 2.7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Ability to Abandon CVR</u>. A Holder may at any time, at such Holder's option, abandon all of such Holder's remaining rights in a CVR by transferring such CVR to Parent without consideration therefor, which a Holder may effect via delivery of a written abandonment notice to Parent. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) from offering to acquire or acquiring any CVRs for consideration from the Holders, in private transactions or otherwise, in its sole discretion. Any CVRs acquired by Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) shall be automatically deemed extinguished and no longer outstanding or entitled to a Milestone Payment for purposes of this Agreement.

------

Section 2.8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Tax Treatment</u>. The parties hereto agree to treat the CVRs (other than the Equity Award CVRs) for all U.S. federal, and applicable state and local income Tax purposes as (a) except to the extent treated as imputed interest, additional consideration for, or in respect of, Shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and (b) a "closed transaction" in which the fair market value of the CVRs, as determined by Parent in its sole discretion, is included in income in the taxable year of the Closing, and, in each case, none of the parties hereto will take any position to the contrary on any Tax Return, any other filing with a Governmental Body related to Taxes or for other Tax purposes except as otherwise required by a Final Determination. Parent, the Surviving Corporation and Rights Agent, as applicable, shall report imputed interest on the CVRs pursuant to Section 483 of the Code, to the extent required by applicable Law and in accordance with properly completed "Standard Tax Reporting Instructions" contained in <u>Annex II</u> hereto.

ARTICLE III

THE RIGHTS AGENT

Section 3.1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>No Liability</u>. The Rights Agent will not have any liability for any actions taken or not taken in connection with this Agreement, except to the extent such liability arises as a result of its willful or intentional misconduct, bad faith, gross negligence or fraud (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

Section 3.2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Certain Duties and Responsibilities</u>. The Rights Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility in the case of the receipt of any written demand from any Holder with respect to any action or default by any person or entity, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any duty or responsibility to initiate or attempt to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise or to make any demand upon Parent or any of its Affiliates; <u>provided</u> that this <u>Section 3.2</u> shall not affect the Rights Agent's obligation to make payments in accordance with and subject to <u>Section 2.4</u>.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the Rights Agent may engage and consult with counsel of its selection and the written advice of such counsel or any opinion of counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection to the Rights Agent and the Rights Agent shall be held harmless by Parent in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the permissive rights of the Rights Agent to do things enumerated in this Agreement will not be construed as a duty;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Parent agrees to indemnify the Rights Agent for, and hold the Rights Agent harmless against, any loss, liability, claim, demand, suit or expense arising out of or in connection with the Rights Agent's performance of its duties under this Agreement (excluding any Taxes, interest, penalties or other costs or expenses imposed on the payment of fees hereunder), including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of defending the Rights Agent against any claims, charges, demands, suits or loss arising out of or in connection with the execution, administration, exercise and performance of its duties under this Agreement, unless such loss has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Rights Agent's willful or intentional misconduct, bad faith, gross negligence or fraud (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Parent agrees (i) to pay the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of the Rights Agent in connection with this Agreement, as agreed upon in writing by the Rights Agent and Parent on or prior to the date hereof, and (ii) to reimburse the Rights Agent for all Taxes and governmental charges paid or incurred by it in connection with the administration by the Rights Agent of its duties hereunder (other than Taxes imposed on or measured by the Rights Agent's net income and franchise or similar Taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income Taxes)); <u>provided</u> that, if the Rights Agent determines in good faith that it has received a refund of any Tax or governmental charge borne by Parent pursuant to this <u>clause (ii)</u>, then the Rights Agent shall promptly repay such refund to Parent; and

Section 3.4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Rights Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to Parent specifying a date when such resignation will take effect, which notice will be sent at least sixty (60) days prior to the date so specified but in no event will such resignation become effective until a successor Rights Agent has been appointed. Parent has the right to remove the Rights Agent at any time by specifying a date when such removal will take effect and such removal will become effective on the date so specified. Notice of such removal will be given by Parent to the Rights Agent, which notice will be sent at least sixty (60) days prior to the date so specified.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If the Rights Agent provides notice of its intent to resign, is removed pursuant to <u>Section 3.4(a)</u> or becomes incapable of acting, Parent will as soon as is reasonably possible, appoint a qualified successor Rights Agent who, unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Acting Holders, shall be a stock transfer agent of national reputation or the corporate trust department of a commercial bank. The successor Rights Agent so appointed will, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with <u>Section 3.5</u>, become the successor Rights Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Parent will give notice of each resignation and each removal of a Rights Agent and each appointment of a successor Rights Agent by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail to the Holders as their names and addresses appear in the CVR Register. Each notice will include the name and address of the successor Rights Agent. If Parent fails to send such notice within ten (10) Business Days after acceptance of appointment by a successor Rights Agent in accordance with <u>Section 3.5</u>, the successor Rights Agent will cause the notice to be mailed at the expense of Parent; <u>provided</u> that failure to give any notice provided for in this <u>Section 3.4(c)</u>, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the appointment of the successor Rights Agent, as the case may be, in each case, in accordance with this <u>Section 3.4</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Rights Agent will cooperate with Parent and any successor Rights Agent as reasonably requested in connection with the transition of the duties and responsibilities of the Rights Agent to the successor Rights Agent, including transferring the CVR Register to the successor Rights Agent.

Section 3.5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Acceptance of Appointment by Successor</u>. Every successor Rights Agent appointed pursuant to <u>Section 3.4(b)</u> hereunder will execute, acknowledge and deliver to Parent and to the retiring Rights Agent an instrument accepting such appointment and a counterpart of this Agreement, and thereupon such successor Rights Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, will become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Rights Agent and all references to the "Rights Agent" herein shall be deemed to refer to such successor Rights Agent. On request of Parent or the successor Rights Agent, the retiring Rights Agent will execute and deliver an instrument transferring to the successor Rights Agent all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Rights Agent.

COVENANTS

Section 4.1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>List of Holders</u>. Parent will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Rights Agent in such form as Parent receives from the Company's transfer agent (or other agent performing similar services for the Company with respect to other Shares, Company RSUs or In-The-Money Company Stock Options) the names and addresses of the Initial Holders of CVRs within thirty (30) Business Days after the Effective Time.

Section 4.2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Payment of</u> <u>Milestone Payment Amount</u>. If a Milestone has been achieved prior to the Termination, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, in accordance with and subject to the achievement of the Milestone prior to the Termination, on or prior to such Milestone Payment Date, (i) deposit in the Rights Agent Account, for payment to the Holders who are not Holders of Equity Award CVRs, in accordance with <u>Section 2.4</u>, the aggregate amount necessary to pay such Milestone Payment Amount to each Holder who is not a Holder of an Equity Award CVR and (ii) deposit with the Rights Agent or Parent, Surviving Corporation, or their Affiliates, as applicable, for payment, in accordance with <u>Section 2.4</u>, to the Holders of Equity Award CVRs, the aggregate amount necessary to pay such Milestone Payment Amount to each such Holder of an Equity Award CVR. For the avoidance of doubt, a Milestone Payment shall only be paid one time, if at all, subject to the achievement of such Milestone prior to the Termination, and the maximum aggregate potential amount payable under this Agreement per CVR shall be $3.00, plus any and all interest accrued pursuant to the last sentence of <u>Section 2.4(a)</u>.

Section 4.3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Additional Covenants</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; From the Closing Date until the Termination, Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation), to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to achieve each Milestone; <u>provided</u>, that use of Commercially Reasonable Efforts does not guarantee that Parent will achieve any Milestone by a specific date or at all.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Parent owes no obligation or duty, as a fiduciary or otherwise, to the Rights Agent, any Holder or any other Person in connection with its operation of the Surviving Corporation's business following the Closing except as expressly stated herein. The Rights Agent (on behalf of itself and on behalf of the Holders) acknowledges that (i) Parent makes (x) no guarantees or promises that any Milestone will be achieved at all or by a specific date or is achievable and (y) no assessments or predictions regarding the likelihood of any Milestone being achieved, (ii) there is no assurance that the Holders will receive any payment as described under <u>Section 4.2</u> unless such Milestone is achieved, (iii) Parent has not, prior to or after the date hereof, promised or projected any amounts to be received by the Holders in respect of any payments described in <u>Section 4.2</u>, (iv) subject to the obligations in <u>Section 4.3(a)</u>, none of the Rights Agent and any Holder is relying on or has relied on any promises, projections, representation or warranty of any kind or other information, documents or materials (or absence thereof) in respect of any payments described in <u>Section 4.2</u> including with respect to the operation of the Surviving Corporation's business following the Closing, (v) except for Parent's obligations set forth in <u>Section 4.3(a)</u>, Parent shall have the right to own, operate, use, license, develop and otherwise commercialize the assets of the Surviving Corporation's business in any way that Parent deems appropriate in its sole business judgment and (vi) except for Parent's obligations set forth in <u>Section 4.3(a)</u>, Parent does not have any obligation, express or implied, to own, operate, use, license, develop or otherwise commercialize the assets of the Surviving Corporation's business in order to maximize or expedite the payments described in <u>Section 4.2</u>, including any obligation to pursue particular business opportunities, engage in particular advertising or marketing campaigns or otherwise. Except for Parent's obligations set forth in <u>Section 4.3(a)</u>, the Rights Agent (on behalf of itself and on behalf of the Holders) hereby (x) disclaims reliance on any such promises, projections, representations, warranties or other information, documents or materials (or absence thereof), and (y) understands and agrees that any such promises, representations, warranties, projections and other information, documents and materials (or absence thereof) are specifically disclaimed by Parent. The parties intend the express provisions of <u>Section 4.2</u> and <u>Section 4.3</u> to govern their contractual relationship and to supersede any standard of efforts or implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing that might otherwise be imposed by any court or other Governmental Body or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In the event that a Milestone has not yet been achieved and Parent desires to consummate a Change of Control prior to the Termination, Parent will cause the Person acquiring Parent to assume Parent's obligations, duties and covenants under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, <u>Section 6.13</u>). No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the consummation of any Change of Control, Parent will deliver to the Rights Agent an Officer's Certificate, stating that such Change of Control complies with this <u>Section 4.3(c)</u> and that all conditions precedent herein relating to such transaction have been complied with.

Section 6.2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Notice to Holders</u>. Where this Agreement provides for notice to Holders, such notice will 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 CVR Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, if any, 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 will affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders.

Section 6.3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Successors and Assigns</u>. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by either party without the prior written consent of the other party and any purported assignment without such consent shall be void; <u>provided</u> that Parent may assign, in its sole discretion, any of or all its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement (a) to any of its Affiliates, but only for so long as it remains an Affiliate of Parent; (b) to any purchaser, transferee, licensee, or sublicensee of substantially all of the Intellectual Property and other rights (including, without limitation, all data, marketing authorizations and applications for marketing authorization), assets, rights, powers, privileges and Contracts, in each case, (x) held, owned or entered into by Parent or its Subsidiaries immediately after the Effective Time and (y) necessary for the production, development or sale of the CVR Products; (c) in compliance with <u>Section 4.3(c)</u>; or (d) otherwise with the prior written consent of the Acting Holders, to any other Person (any permitted assignee under <u>clauses (a)</u> through <u>(d)</u>, an "<u>Assignee</u>"), in each case, <u>provided</u> that the Assignee agrees to assume and be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement. Any Assignee may thereafter assign any or all of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder in the same manner as Parent pursuant to the prior sentence. In connection with any assignment to an Assignee described in <u>clauses (a)</u> or <u>(b)</u> above in this <u>Section 6.3</u>, Parent (and any subsequent assignor) shall, and shall agree to, remain liable for the performance by each Assignee (and such other assignor, if applicable) of all obligations of Parent hereunder with such Assignee substituted for Parent under this Agreement.

Subject to compliance with the requirements set forth in this <u>Section 6.3</u> relating to assignments and <u>Section 4.3(c)</u>, this Agreement shall not restrict Parent's, any Assignee's or any of their respective successors' ability to merge or consolidate with, or sell, issue, license or dispose of its stock or other equity interests or assets to, any other Person, or spin-off or split-off.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Holder or Holder's successor or assign pursuant to a Permitted CVR Transfer may agree to renounce, in whole or in part, its rights under this Agreement by written notice to the Rights Agent and Parent, which notice, if given, shall be irrevocable. The Acting Holders will have the sole right, on behalf of all Holders, by virtue of or under any provision of this Agreement, to institute any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, and no individual Holder or other group of Holders will be entitled to exercise such rights (<u>provided</u> that the foregoing shall not limit the ability of an individual Holder to seek a payment due from the applicable party pursuant to <u>Section 4.2</u> solely to the extent such payment, and the amount of such payment, has been finally determined to be due and payable in accordance with this Agreement and has not been paid within the period contemplated by this Agreement). The Holders shall not be entitled to specific enforcement of <u>Section 4.3</u>. Reasonable expenditures incurred by such Holders in connection with any enforcement action hereunder may be deducted by such Holders from any damages or settlement obtained prior to the distribution of any remainder to Holders generally. The Holders acting pursuant to this provision on behalf of all Holders shall have no liability to the other Holders for such actions.

Section 6.5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Each of the parties hereto hereby (i) expressly and irrevocably submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or if such Court of Chancery lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court and (iii) agrees that it shall not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or if such Court of Chancery lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware; <u>provided</u> that each of the parties has the right to bring any action or proceeding for enforcement of a judgment entered by such court in any other court or jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 6.6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Severability</u>. 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, law or public policy, the remaining provisions of this Agreement will be enforced so as to conform to the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner so that the terms hereof, and the transactions contemplated hereby, are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

Section 6.7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Counterparts</u>. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by executed signatures in electronic format (including "pdf") and other electronic signatures (including DocuSign and AdobeSign) in each case transmitted by email) in two (2) or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed will be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 6.8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Termination</u>. This Agreement will automatically terminate and be of no force or effect, the parties hereto will have no liability or obligations hereunder (other than with respect to monies due and owing by Parent to the Rights Agent in respect of the Rights Agent's services hereunder and any services to be performed by the Rights Agent under <u>Section 2.4(f)</u> hereof), and no payments will be required to be made, upon the earliest to occur of (such time, the "<u>Termination</u>") (a) (i) the mailing by the Rights Agent to the address, or (ii) the payment by the Rights Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account, of each Holder as reflected in the CVR Register, of the First Milestone Payment Amount (if any) required to be paid under the terms of this Agreement and the Second Milestone Payment Amount (if any) required to be paid under the terms of this Agreement, (b) the delivery of a joint written notice of termination duly executed by Parent and the Acting Holders or (c) the seventh (7<sup>th</sup>) anniversary of the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the right of any Holder to receive a Milestone Payment with respect to a Milestone, and any covenants and obligations of Parent (other than pursuant to <u>Section 2.4(d)</u>), shall be irrevocably terminated and extinguished if such Milestone is not achieved before the Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no termination shall affect any rights or obligations accrued prior to the effective date of such termination or <u>Section 2.4(d)</u>, <u>3.3</u>, <u>6.4</u>, <u>6.5</u>, <u>6.6</u>, <u>6.7</u>, <u>6.9</u>, <u>6.13</u> or this <u>Section 6.8</u>, which shall survive the termination of this Agreement, or the resignation, replacement or removal of the Rights Agent.

Section 6.9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Entire Agreement</u>. This Agreement and the Merger Agreement (including the schedules, annexes and exhibits thereto and the documents and instruments referred to therein) contain the entire understanding of the parties hereto and thereto with reference to the transactions and matters contemplated hereby and thereby and supersede all prior agreements, written or oral, among the parties with respect hereto and thereto. If and to the extent that any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent or conflicts with the Merger Agreement, then solely with respect to the Rights Agent, this Agreement will govern and be controlling.

------

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Parent and the Rights Agent will, from time to time, do all commercially reasonable acts and things and execute and deliver all such further documents and instruments, as Parent and the Rights Agent may reasonably require for the carrying out or performing by the Rights Agent of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 6.11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Force Majeure</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, none of the Rights Agent, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries will be liable for any delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its reasonable control including acts of God, pandemics, epidemics, terrorist acts, shortage of supply, breakdowns or malfunctions, interruptions or malfunctions of computer facilities, or loss of data due to power failures or mechanical difficulties with information storage or retrieval systems, labor disputes, strikes, or shortages, war or civil unrest, it being understood that such parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances.

Section 6.12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Legal Holiday</u>. In the event that a Milestone Payment Date shall not be a Business Day, then, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any payment required to be made in respect of the CVRs on such date need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Milestone Payment Date.

Section 6.13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Confidentiality</u>. The Rights Agent and Parent agree that all books, records, information and data pertaining to the business of the other party that are exchanged or received pursuant to the negotiation or the carrying out of this Agreement shall remain confidential, and shall not be voluntarily disclosed to any other person, except as may be required by a valid order of a Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction or as is otherwise required by Law.
