Maryland corporation, and Matrix Trust Company, a Colorado corporation
and non-depository trust company, as trustee (hereinafter referred to as “Trustee” or “Matrix Trust”);

 

WHEREAS, Company has adopted the nonqualified
deferred compensation plan(s) (hereinafter referred to as the “Plan”) as listed in Appendix A;

 

WHEREAS, Company has incurred or expects
to incur liability under the terms of such Plan with respect to the individuals participating in such Plan;

 

WHEREAS, Company wishes to establish a
trust (hereinafter called "Trust") and to contribute to the Trust assets that shall be held therein, subject to
the claims of Company's creditors in the event of Company's Insolvency, as herein defined, until paid to Plan participants and
their beneficiaries in such manner and at such times as specified in the Plan;

 

WHEREAS, it is the intention of the parties
that this Trust shall constitute an unfunded arrangement and shall not affect the status of the Plan as an unfunded plan maintained
for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees for purposes
of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended;

 

WHEREAS, it is the intention of Company
to make contributions to the Trust to provide itself with a source of funds to assist it in the meeting of its liabilities under

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties do hereby establish
the Trust and agree that the Trust shall be comprised, held and disposed of as follows:

 

Section 1. 

Establishment of Trust

 

		(a)	Company hereby deposits with Trustee in trust an amount, which shall become the principal of the
Trust to be held, administered and disposed of by Trustee as provided in this Trust Agreement.

 

		(b)	The Trust hereby established shall be irrevocable.

 

		(c)	The Trust is intended to be a grantor trust, of which Company is the grantor, within the meaning
of subpart E, part I subchapter J, chapter 1, subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and shall be construed
accordingly.

 

		(d)	The principal of the Trust, and any earnings thereon, shall be held separate and apart from other
funds of Company and shall be used exclusively for the uses and purposes of Plan participants and general creditors as herein set
forth. Plan participants and their beneficiaries shall have no preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership interest in, any
assets of the Trust. Any rights created under the Plan and this Trust Agreement shall be mere unsecured contractual rights of Plan
participants and their beneficiaries against Company. Any assets held by the Trust will be subject to the claims of Company's general
creditors under federal and state law in the event of Insolvency, as defined in Section 3(a) herein.

 

		(e)	Company, in its sole discretion, may at any time, or from time to time, make additional deposits

Section 2. 

Payments to Plan Participants and Their
Beneficiaries; Plan Expenses

 

		(a)	Company shall deliver to Trustee a schedule (the "Payment Schedule") that indicates
the amounts payable in respect of each Plan participant (and his or her beneficiaries), that provides a formula or other instructions
acceptable to Trustee for determining the amounts so payable, the form in which such amount is to be paid (as provided for or available
under the Plan), and the time of commencement for payment of such amounts. Except as otherwise provided herein, Trustee shall make
payments to the Plan participants and their beneficiaries in accordance with the Payment Schedule. Trustee shall make provision
for the reporting and withholding of any federal or state taxes that may be required to be withheld with respect to the payment
of benefits pursuant to the terms of the Plan and shall pay amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing authorities or determine
that such amounts have been reported, withheld and paid by Company.

 

		(b)	The entitlement of a Plan participant or his or her beneficiaries to benefits under the Plan shall
be determined by Company or such party as it shall designate under the Plan, and any claim for such benefits shall be considered
and reviewed under the procedures set out in the Plan.

 

		(c)	Company may make payment of benefits directly to Plan participants or their beneficiaries as they
become due under the terms of the Plan. Either directly or through the Recordkeeper (as defined in Section 7) and prior to the
time amounts are payable to a Plan participant or applicable beneficiaries, Company shall notify Trustee of its decision to make
payment of benefits directly to the Plan participant or applicable beneficiaries. If Company makes payments according to this subsection,
Company shall make provision for the reporting and withholding of any federal, state or local taxes that may be required to be
withheld with respect to the payment of benefits pursuant to the terms of the Plan and shall pay amounts withheld to the appropriate
taxing authorities. If the principal of the Trust, and any earnings thereon, are not sufficient to make payments of benefits in
accordance with the terms of the Plan as reflected on the Payment Schedule or as otherwise directed by Company or its designee,
Company shall make the balance of each such payment as it falls due. Trustee shall notify Company where principal and earnings
are not sufficient to make payments as directed. In the event Company pays benefits directly to a Plan participant or an applicable
beneficiary, Trustee shall distribute an equal amount (or such lesser amount available under the Trust) to Company upon Company’s
request.

 

		(d)	Company may direct Trustee to pay Plan expenses from the Trust or reimburse Company for Plan expenses
paid directly by Company.

 

Section 3. 

Trustee Responsibility Regarding Payments
to Trust Beneficiary When Company is Insolvent.

 

		(a)	Trustee shall cease payment of benefits to Plan participants and their beneficiaries if the Company
is Insolvent. Company shall be considered "Insolvent" or in “Insolvency” for purposes of this
Trust Agreement if (i) Company is unable to pay its debts as they become due, or (ii) Company is subject to a pending proceeding
as a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code.

 

		(b)	At all times during the continuance of this Trust, as provided in Section 1(d) hereof, the principal
and income of the Trust shall be subject to claims of general creditors of Company under federal and state law as set forth below.

 

		(1)	The Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer of Company shall inform Trustee in writing
of Company's Insolvency. If a person claiming to be a creditor of Company alleges in writing to Trustee that Company has become
Insolvent, Trustee shall promptly determine whether Company is Insolvent with the assistance of Company and if it is determined
that Company has become Insolvent, and pending a determination, Trustee shall discontinue payment of benefits to Plan participants
or their beneficiaries.

		(2)	Unless
                                         Trustee has actual knowledge of Company's Insolvency, or has received notice from Company
                                         or a person claiming to be a creditor alleging that Company is Insolvent, Trustee shall
                                         have no duty to inquire whether Company is Insolvent. Trustee may in all events rely
                                         on such evidence concerning Company's solvency as may be furnished to Trustee and that
                                         provides Trustee with a reasonable basis for making a determination concerning Company's
                                         solvency.

 

		(3)	If at any time Trustee has determined that Company is Insolvent, Trustee shall discontinue payments
to Plan participants or their beneficiaries and shall hold the assets of the Trust for the benefit of Company's general creditors,
less any Trustee fees and expenses deducted from the Trust as administrative expenses incurred in the preservation of the Insolvent
estate or account or as otherwise permitted by the terms of this Trust Agreement and applicable law. Nothing in this Trust Agreement
shall in any way diminish any rights of Plan participants or their beneficiaries to pursue their rights as general creditors of
Company with respect to benefits due under the Plan or otherwise.

 

		(4)	Trustee shall resume the payment of benefits to Plan participants or their beneficiaries in accordance
with Section 2 of this Trust Agreement only after Trustee has determined that Company is not Insolvent (or is no longer Insolvent).

 

		(c)	Provided that there are sufficient assets, if Trustee discontinues the payment of benefits from
the Trust pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof and subsequently resumes such payments, the first payment following such discontinuance
shall include the aggregate amount of all payments due to Plan participants or their beneficiaries under the terms of the Plan
for the period of such discontinuance, less the aggregate amount of any payments made to Plan participants or their beneficiaries
by Company in lieu of the payments provided for hereunder during any such period of discontinuance.

 

Section 4. 

Payments to Company.

 

Except as provided in Section 3 hereof,
Company shall have no right or power to direct Trustee to return to Company or to divert to others any of the Trust assets before
all payments of benefits have been made to Plan participants and their beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of the Plan; provided,
however, that in the event the Trust holds Excess Assets, Company, at its option, may direct Trustee in writing to return to Company,
or to divert to others, any of the Excess Assets of the Trust. For this purpose, “Excess Assets” means the assets
of the Trust that exceed one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the sum of all Plan liabilities. Trustee is authorized, at the
expense of the Trust or the Company, to obtain written documentation of the amount of such Excess Assets from an independent third
party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company may request reimbursement from the Trust for any amounts paid directly to Plan participants
pursuant to Section 2(c) hereof or for any amounts paid by Company for Plan expenses by providing a certification of the amounts
paid and satisfactory evidence of such payments to Trustee, and Trustee may rely on such certification and evidence and shall have
no obligation for otherwise verifying payment.

 

Section 5. 

Investment Authority.

 

		(a)	The Trust may hold assets of any kind, including shares of any registered investment company, whether
or not the Trustee or any of its affiliates is an advisor to, or other service provider to, such investment company and receives
compensation from such investment company for the services provided (which compensation shall be in addition to the compensation
of the Trustee under this Trust.) The Company acknowledges that shares in any such investment company are not obligations of the
Trustee or any other bank, are not deposits and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”),
the Federal Reserve or any other governmental agency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may Trustee invest in securities
(including stock or rights to acquire stock) or obligations issued by Company, other than a de minimis amount held in common investment
vehicles in which Trustee invests. All rights associated with assets of the Trust shall be exercised by Trustee or the person designated
by Trustee, and shall in no event be exercisable by or rest with Plan participants, except that voting and dividend rights
with respect to Trust assets will be exercised by Company.

		(b)	Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, in its sole discretion, to direct
Trustee as to the investment and reinvestment of all or specified portions of Trust assets and the income therefrom and to appoint
an investment manager or investment managers to direct Trustee as to the investment and reinvestment of all or specified portions
thereof. As of the execution of this Trust Agreement,
and until Trustee is notified otherwise in writing, Company shall be solely responsible for directing the investment and reinvestment
of all Trust assets.

 

		(c)	Trustee shall have no responsibility for the selection of investment options, if applicable, under
the Trust and shall not render investment advice to any person in connection with the selection of such options. Company shall
direct Trustee as to the investment options in which the Trust shall be invested during the term of the Trust. Trustee shall have
no responsibility or duty to diversify Trust assets.

 

		(d)	Trustee may hold that portion of the Trust fund as is appropriate, for the ordinary administration
and for the disbursement of funds in cash, without liability for interest notwithstanding Trustee's receipt of "float"
from such uninvested cash, by depositing the same in any bank (including deposits which bear a reasonable rate of interest in a
bank or similar financial institution supervised by the United States or a State, even where a bank or financial institution is
the Trustee, or is otherwise a fiduciary of the Plan) subject to the rules and regulations governing such deposits, and without
regard to the amount of such deposit. In addition, Trustee is specifically authorized to invest idle, or otherwise uninvested,
cash in a money market mutual fund selected by Trustee in its sole discretion, including any money market fund associated with
Trustee as described in subparagraph (a) above.

 

Section 6. 

Disposition of Income

 

During the term of this Trust, all income
received by the Trust, net of expenses and taxes, shall be accumulated and reinvested.

 

Section 7. 

Accounting by Trustee

 

Trustee shall keep accurate and detailed
records of all investments, receipts, disbursements, and all other transactions required to be made, including such specific records
as shall be agreed upon in writing between Company and Trustee. Within sixty (60) days following the close of each calendar year
and within sixty (60) days after the removal or resignation of Trustee, Trustee shall deliver to Company a written account of its
administration of the Trust during such year or during the period from the close of the last preceding year to the date of such
removal or resignation, setting forth all investments, receipts, disbursements and other transactions effected by it, including
a description of all securities and investments purchased and sold with the cost or net proceeds of such purchases or sales (accrued
interest paid or receivable being shown separately), and showing all cash, securities and other property held in the Trust at the
end of such year or as of the date of such removal or resignation, as the case may be. Such account statements shall be mailed
to Company or, if the Company agrees, delivered via e-mail or other electronic means. Notwithstanding anything in this Section
7 to the contrary, Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the records maintained by any recordkeeper appointed by Company for the
maintenance and provision of all records specified in this Section 7. The current recordkeeper appointed by Company for the Plan
is Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (“Prudential”). Prudential and each such other entity
subsequently appointed by Company as recordkeeper for the Plan are hereafter collectively referred to as “Recordkeeper.”

 

Section 8. 

Responsibility of Trustee.

 

		(a)	Trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing
that a prudent person acting in like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of any enterprise of a like
character and with like aims, provided, however, that Trustee shall incur no liability to any person for any action taken pursuant
to and in accordance with a direction, request or approval given by Company or an investment manager which is contemplated by,
and in conformity with, the terms of the Plan or this Trust and is given in writing by Company or such investment manager. In the
event of a dispute between Company and a party, Trustee may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to resolve the dispute.

		(b)	If Trustee undertakes or defends any litigation arising in connection with this Trust (other than
any litigation where Company is the adverse party to Trustee in the litigation), Company agrees to indemnify Trustee against Trustee's
reasonable costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) relating thereto and to
be primarily liable for such payments. If Company does not pay such costs, expenses
and liabilities in a reasonably timely manner, Trustee may obtain payment from the Trust. In no event shall Trustee have any liability
or responsibility to undertake, defend or continue any litigation unless payment of related fees and expenses is ensured to the
reasonable satisfaction of Trustee.

 

		(c)	Trustee, at the expense of the Trust or the Company provided Trustee gives Company prior written
notice, may consult with legal counsel (who may also be counsel for Company generally) with respect to any of its duties or obligations
hereunder.
	 	 	 
	 	(d)	Trustee,
at the expense of the Trust or the Company provided Trustee gives Company prior written notice, may hire agents, accountants, actuaries,
investment advisors, financial consultants or other professionals to assist it in performing any of its duties or obligations hereunder.

 

		(e)	Trustee shall have, without exclusion, all powers conferred on trustees by applicable law, unless
expressly provided otherwise herein, provided, however, that if an insurance policy is held as an asset of the Trust, Trustee shall
have no power to name a beneficiary of the policy other than the Trust, to assign the policy (as distinct from conversion of the
policy to a different form) other than to a successor Trustee, or to loan to any person the proceeds of any borrowing against such
policy.

 

		(f)	However, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8(e) above, Trustee may loan to Company the
proceeds of any borrowing against an insurance policy held as an asset of the Trust.

 

		(g)	Notwithstanding any powers granted to Trustee pursuant to this Trust Agreement or to applicable
law, Trustee shall not have any power that could give this Trust the objective of carrying on a business and dividing the gains
therefrom, within the meaning of Section 301.7701-2 of the Procedure and Administrative Regulations promulgated pursuant to the
Internal Revenue Code.

 

		(h)	Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to: (i) the truth or accuracy of
any representation or warranty made in any application or related document provided to the insurer in connection with the issuance
or renewal of any insurance policies or insurance contracts, including any representation that the person on whose life an application
is being made is eligible to have a contract issued on his or her life; (ii) the selection or monitoring (ongoing or periodic)
of any insurance policies or insurance contracts held in the Trust or the insurers issuing such policies or contracts; (iii) the
payment of premiums with respect to such policies or contracts; or (iv) the exercise of any rights relating to any such policies
or contracts except as directed in writing by Company.

 

		(i)	Upon the expiration of 120 days from the date of Trustee’s annual, quarterly or any other
account, the Trustee shall be forever released and discharged from all liability and further accountability to Company or any other
person with respect to the accuracy of such accounting and all acts and failures to act of Trustee reflected in such account, except
to the extent that Company shall, within such 120-day period, file with Trustee specific written objections to the account. None
of Company, any participant or any other person shall be entitled to any additional or different accounting by Trustee and except
to the extent required otherwise by applicable law, Trustee shall not be compelled to file in any court any additional or different
accounting. For purposes of regulations promulgated by the FDIC or other functional regulator, Trustee’s account statements
shall be sufficient information concerning securities transactions effected for the Trust, provided that Company, upon written
request, shall have the right to receive at no additional cost written confirmations of such securities transactions, which shall
be mailed or otherwise furnished by the Trustee within the timeframe required by applicable regulations.

 

		(j)	Trustee shall have no duty or responsibility not expressly set forth in this Trust Agreement. By
way of example, but without limiting the matters subject to the foregoing sentence, Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect
to the administration or interpretation of the Plan, payment of Plan benefits other than from the assets of the Trust, the calculation
of tax to be withheld, reported and/or paid to taxing authorities and (if applicable pursuant to the fee schedule) withholding,
remitting, or reporting to taxing authorities of taxes other than from payments made with Trust assets to Plan participants and
other than as directed by Company, or maintaining participant records with respect to the Plan.

                                                               whom the Receiver transmitted the Information, as soon as the Receiver becomes aware of the compelled disclosure), if not
                                                               legally prohibited from doing so, so that the Provider may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive
                                                               compliance with the provisions of this
Agreement. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, then the Receiver will furnish only that portion of the Information
which the Receiver is advised by reasonable written opinion of counsel is legally required and will exercise its reasonable efforts
to assist the Provider in obtaining a protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded
to the Information that is disclosed.

 

		(e)	Exceptions. Except with respect to Personal Information, nothing contained herein shall
in any way restrict or impair either party’s right to use, disclose or otherwise deal with:

 

		(i)	Information which at the time of its disclosure is publicly available, by publication or otherwise,
or which the Provider publicly discloses either prior to or subsequent to its disclosure to the Receiver;

 

		(ii)	Information which the Receiver can show was in the possession of the Receiver, or its parent, subsidiary
or affiliated company, at the time of disclosure and which was not acquired, directly or indirectly, under any obligation of confidentiality
to the Provider; or

 

		(iii)	Information which is independently acquired or developed by the Receiver without violation of its
obligations hereunder.

 

In addition, each employee of
the Receiver shall be free to use for any purpose, upon completion of the services rendered under this Agreement, any general knowledge,
skill or expertise that (i) is acquired by such employee in performance of those services, (ii) remains part of the general knowledge
of such employee after access to the tangible embodiment of the Provider’s Information, (iii) does not contain or include
any such Information, and (iv) is not otherwise specific to the Provider.

 

		(f)	Return or Destroy. Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, the parties shall
return to each other, or destroy, any and all copies of Information of the other that are in their possession relating to the terminated
Agreement, except for any copies reasonably required to maintain such party’s customary archives or computer back-up procedures,
and as otherwise required by applicable law, rule or regulation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Trustee shall have the right to
keep one copy of such Information as may be reasonably required to evidence the fact that it has provided the services to Customer.
In the event that Customer requires Trustee to return any Customer Information, Customer shall pay Trustee (at the rates set forth
in the applicable Schedule, or, if no such rates are set forth, at Trustee’s then current charges) for Trustee’s actual
time spent and incidental expenses actually incurred in connection with such return.

Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Assignor”), Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, a Delaware corporation (“Assignee”),
American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, a New York limited liability company, as trustee (the “Existing Trustee”),
and Equiniti Trust Company, a limited trust organized under the laws of the State of New York (the “New Trustee”).
All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the meanings given to them in the CVR Agreement (as defined below).

 

WHEREAS, Assignor and
the Existing Trustee entered into a Contingent Value Rights Agreement, dated as of October 15, 2010 (as amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “CVR Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, Assignor,
Assignee and Burgundy Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Assignee (“Merger
Sub”), are parties to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 2, 2019 (as amended, supplemented
or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which,
among other things, Merger Sub merged with and into Assignor at the Merger Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement),
with Assignor continuing as the surviving corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Assignee (the “Merger”);

 

WHEREAS, substantially
contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Assignee has, in accordance with Section 1.2 and Section 9.3
of the CVR Agreement, delivered an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee, as conclusive evidence that
the matters contemplated by Section 1 or Section 2 below, respectively, comply with the applicable provisions of the CVR Agreement
and that there has been compliance with all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the foregoing under the CVR Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 6.1 of
the CVR Agreement, the Company and the Trustee may, without the consent of the Holders, enter into one or more amendments to the
CVR Agreement to, among other things, make any change that does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders or to evidence
the succession of another Person to the Company and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company herein
and in the Securities; 

 

WHEREAS, in connection
with the Merger, (a) Assignor and the Existing Trustee desire to amend the CVR Agreement to clarify that the calculation of the
combined capital and surplus of the Trustee shall include the Trustee and its affiliates; (b) Assignor and the Existing Trustee
desire to amend the CVR Agreement to allow for the Securities to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or any other national
securities exchange following the Merger Effective Time; (c) Assignor and the Existing Trustee desire to amend the CVR Agreement
to allow for Assignee, the parent company of Assignor following the Merger, to assume all of its rights, duties, obligations, liabilities
and interests in, to and under the CVR Agreement; and (d) the parties desire to execute and deliver this Agreement as evidence
of the agreement and consent of such assignment and assumption to Assignee;

 

WHEREAS, following
the consummation of the Merger, Assignor desires to assign all of its rights, duties, obligations, liabilities and interests in,
to and under the CVR Agreement to Assignee, and Assignee desires to assume all such rights, duties, obligations, liabilities and
interests of Assignor in, to and under the CVR Agreement, which assignment shall be effective immediately following the listing
of the Securities on the New York Stock Exchange;

 

     

     

    

 

WHEREAS, Section 4.10(b)
of the CVR Agreement provides that the Trustee may at any time resign by giving written notice to the Assignor, effective upon
the appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to Section 4.11 of the CVR Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, immediately
following the Merger Effective Time, the Existing Trustee desires to resign as trustee of the CVR Agreement, the Company desires
to appoint the New Trustee as successor trustee of the CVR Agreement, and the New Trustee is willing to accept such appointment
as successor trustee under the CVR Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and agreements and other good and valuable consideration, the parties, each intending
to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Amendment to Section 4.9, 7.7 and
9.4 of the CVR Agreement and Related Agreements.

 

		a)	On the date hereof, effective immediately following the Merger Effective Time, the Assignor and
the Existing Trustee hereby agree to amend and restate the first sentence of Section 4.9 of the CVR Agreement as follows:

 

“There shall at all times
be a Trustee hereunder which satisfies the applicable requirements of Sections 310(a)(1) and (5) of the Trust Indenture
Act and which, along with its Affiliates, has a combined capital and surplus of at least one hundred fifty million dollars ($150,000,000).”

 

		b)	On the date hereof, effective immediately following the Merger Effective Time, the Assignor and
the Existing Trustee hereby agree to amend and restate Section 7.7 of the CVR Agreement in its entirety as follows:

 

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

 

		c)	Without limiting the generality of Section 1(b) above, each party hereto acknowledges and agrees
that Assignee, subject to, and conditioned upon, the occurrence of the Merger Effective Time, intends to delist the CVRs from the
Nasdaq and list the CVRs on the New York Stock Exchange and consents to the same.

 

		d)	On the date hereof, effective immediately following the Merger Effective Time, the Assignor and
the Existing Trustee hereby agree to amend and restate Section 9.4 of the CVR Agreement in its entirety as follows:

 

“All covenants, provisions
and agreements in this CVR Agreement by or for the benefit of the Company, the Trustee or the Holders shall bind and inure to the
benefit of their respective successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives, whether so expressed or not. The Company may
assign this CVR Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties to this CVR Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates,
provided, however, that in the event of any such assignment the Company shall, unless and to the extent performed by any such assignee,
remain subject to its obligations and covenants hereunder, including but not limited to its obligation to make any Net Sales Payments
and any Milestone Payments.”

 

    	 	2	 

     

    

 

2. Assignment and Assumption.

 

		a)	Subject to, and conditioned upon the occurrence of the Merger Effective Time, and effective as
of immediately following the listing of the Securities on the New York Stock Exchange, Assignor hereby assigns all of its rights,
duties, obligations, liabilities and interests in, to and under the CVR Agreement to Assignee, and Assignee hereby assumes all
such rights, duties, obligations, liabilities and interests of Assignor in, to and under the CVR Agreement, including, without
limitation, the due and punctual payment of the Securities, according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance and
observance of all of the covenants and conditions of the CVR Agreement to be performed or observed by Assignor (collectively, the
 “Assignment and Assumption”).

 

		b)	Each of the parties hereto acknowledges, agrees and consents to, subject to and conditioned upon
the Assignment and Assumption, Assignor succeeding to and being substituted for Assignee with the same effect as if Assignor had
been named in the CVR Agreement as the “Company” for all purposes under the CVR Agreement. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, (i) each of the parties, for the avoidance of doubt, acknowledges and agrees that Assignee shall succeed to and
be substituted for Assignor automatically, without any further action of any party hereto, at the Merger Effective Time, (ii) the
Existing Trustee (prior to the appointment and acceptance of the New Trustee as trustee under the CVR Agreement pursuant to Section
3) and the New Trustee (from and after the appointment and acceptance of the New Trustee as trustee pursuant to Section 3) agree
to take any of the foregoing actions as if an assumption occurred pursuant to Section 9.1(i) and the other relevant provisions
of the CVR Agreement in connection with the matters described by this Section 2 and (iii) the CVR Agreement shall automatically
be deemed to be modified accordingly to give effect to the matters described by this Section 2.

 

3. Resignation of Existing Trustee;
Appointment of New Trustee.

 

		a)	Subject to, and conditioned upon, and effective as of immediately following, the Merger Effective
Time, pursuant to Section 4.10(b) of the CVR Agreement, the Existing Trustee hereby notifies the Assignor that the Existing Trustee
is resigning as trustee under the CVR Agreement.

 

		b)	Subject to, and conditioned upon, and effective as of immediately following, the Merger Effective
Time, (i) the Assignor hereby accepts the resignation of the Existing Trustee as trustee under the CVR Agreement and (ii) pursuant
to Section 4.10(e) of the CVR Agreement, the Assignor hereby appoints the New Trustee as trustee under the CVR Agreement, to succeed
to, and hereby vests the New Trustee with, all the estates, properties, rights powers, trusts, duties and obligations of the Trustee
under the CVR Agreement with like effect as if originally named as trustee in the CVR Agreement.

 

		c)	The New Trustee hereby accepts the appointment as trustee under the CVR Agreement and shall hereby
be vested with all the estates, properties, rights powers, trusts, duties and obligations of the Trustee under the CVR Agreement
with like effect as if originally named as trustee in the CVR Agreement. The New Trustee hereby represents and warrants that it
is qualified and eligible under Article 4 of the CVR Agreement to act as trustee under the CVR Agreement.

 

		d)	From and after giving effect to the appointment and acceptance of the New Trustee as trustee under
the CVR Agreement until otherwise amended, modified or supplemented in accordance with the CVR Agreement, references in the CVR
Agreement to “Corporate Trust Office” or other similar terms shall be deemed to refer to the corporate trust office
of the New Trustee at 1110 Centre Pointe Curve, Suite 101 Mendota Heights, Minnesota 55120-4101 or any other office of the New
Trustee at which, at any particular time, its corporate trust business shall be administered.

 

4. Successors and Assigns. This
Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the respective parties hereto and their respective successors
and assigns.

 

5. Governing Law. This Agreement
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York including, without limitation, Sections
5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

 

6. No Further Amendment to CVR Agreement.
Except as specifically modified or amended by this Agreement, the CVR Agreement shall remain unaltered and in full force and effect
and the respective terms, conditions and covenants thereof are herein in all respects confirmed. Whenever the CVR Agreement is
referred to in any agreement, document or other instrument, such reference will be to the CVR Agreement as modified and/or amended
by this Agreement.

 

7. Amendment. This Agreement may
not be changed, modified, discharged or terminated orally or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by the
parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns specifically identifying such writing as an amendment to this Agreement.

 

8. Severability. In case any provision
in this Agreement are held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

9. Counterparts. This Agreement
may be signed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if the signatures to each counterpart were upon a single instrument,
and all such counterparts together will be deemed an original of this Agreement.
