In connection with the Merger, Selecta changed its corporate name to Cartesian Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”).

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, following the consummation of the Merger (the “Closing”), Selecta and the Trustee (as defined therein) entered into a contingent value rights agreement (the “CVR Agreement”) on December 6, 2023, which entitles each holder of common stock of Selecta, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), as of the applicable record time to one contractual contingent value right (each, a “CVR”) to be issued by the Company for each share of Common Stock held by such holder as of the applicable record time. Each contingent value right shall entitle the holder (the “Holder”) thereof to: Holders of the warrants to purchase Common Stock of Selecta (a “Selecta Warrant”) is entitled to receive, upon exercise of such Selecta Warrant and in accordance with the terms thereof, one CVR per each such share of Common Stock underlying such Selecta Warrant, assuming the same had been exercised on the record date for distribution of the CVR; except that the holders of the Selecta Warrants issued on April 11, 2022 will, as required by the terms of such Selecta Warrants, receive such CVRs upon the initial distribution of CVRs made to the holders of Common Stock, even if such Selecta Warrants are not exercised.

Each contingent value right entitles the Holder thereof to distributions of the following, pro rated on a per-CVR basis, during the period ending on the date on which the Royalty Term (as defined in the Company’s License and Development Agreement, as amended, with Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB (publ.) (the “Sobi License”)) ends (the “Termination Date”):

The distributions in respect of the CVRs will be made on a semi-annual basis, and will be subject to a number of deductions, subject to certain exceptions or limitations, including for (A) certain taxes, (B) certain out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Company Entities, including audit and accounting fees incurred in connection with reporting obligations relating to the CVRs, in respect of its performance of the Sobi License or any New Applicable Agreement, in connection with the entry into a Disposition Agreement and under any Disposition Agreement and performance of the Company Entities’ related obligations thereunder, (C) a fixed amount of $750,000 for each Distribution Period (as defined below) to account for general and administrative overhead incurred by the Company Entities, (D) in the case of a distribution that includes payments for certain milestones under clause (ii) above and for the upfront portion, if any, of the consideration payable under a Disposition Agreement (a “Trigger Distribution”), the sum of payments made under any liabilities of the Company Entities arising under real property leases in effect as of immediately prior to Closing (“Lease Liabilities”) after the Closing and the aggregate remaining payment obligations under the Lease Liabilities outstanding as of the applicable date of measurement (but subject to a positive adjustment in case amounts held back under this clause (D) exceed the liabilities actually incurred under the Lease Liabilities at the time such a lease expires or is terminated, assigned or subleased), and (E) in the case of a Trigger Distribution, the sum of payments made after the Closing under certain liabilities relating to the Company’s Xork product candidate (“Xork Liabilities”) after the Closing and the aggregate remaining payment obligations under Xork Liabilities outstanding as of the applicable date of measurement but subject to a positive adjustment in case amounts held back under this clause (E) exceed the liabilities actually incurred under the Xork Liabilities at such time as the development activities with respect to Xork are terminated, transferred or assigned by the Company Entities or otherwise completed in accordance with the development plan set forth in the Company’s License and Development Agreement with Audentes Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Astellas Agreement”), when such termination, transfer, assignment or completion occurs.

The Company will calculate the amount of any payment due on the CVRs for each six-month period from January 1 through June 30 and each six-month period from July 1 through December 31 of each year (each such period, a “Distribution Period”), except that the initial Distribution Period will commence on the date of the CVR Agreement and run through June 30, 2024. Payments on the CVRs will be cumulative and will be payable no later than the close of business on each March 15 (for Distribution Periods that end on December 31) and September 15 (for Distribution Periods that end on June 30), commencing on September 15, 2024 (each such date, a “Distribution Payment Date”), to holders of record of the CVRs as of the close of business on the first day of the month of the applicable Distribution Payment Date. If a Distribution Payment Date is not a business day, payment will be made on the immediately succeeding business day, without the accumulation of additional distributions. If the amount of any per-CVR distribution is less than $0.02, the Company may elect to defer such distribution until the next Distribution Payment Date when the aggregate per-CVR distribution would be $0.02 or greater.

Under the CVR Agreement, as long as any CVRs are outstanding, the Company will not: (i) without the affirmative vote of the Holders of at least 66 and 2/3% of the then-outstanding CVRs modify in a manner adverse to the Holders any provision contained in the CVR Agreement with respect to the termination of the CVR Agreement or the CVRs, or the time for payment and amount of any distribution, or modify in any manner any provision of the CVR Agreement if such modification would reduce the amounts payable in respect of the CVRs or modify any other payment term or payment date, (ii) without the consent of each Holder of each outstanding CVR affected thereby, reduce the number of CVRs, or modify any provision referenced in the preceding clause (i) or this clause (ii), except to increase the percentage of Holders from whom consent is required or to provide that certain other provisions of the CVR Agreement cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each CVR affected thereby, (iii) without the consent of the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority of the then-outstanding CVRs, alter, change, amend, or modify, in each case in any material respect or in any manner adverse to the Holders, the Sobi License, the Astellas Agreement, or the Company’s Exclusive License Agreement with Genovis AB (publ.), terminate the Sobi License, or sell, license, assign, transfer, enter into any monetization transaction, or otherwise dispose of or otherwise grant or suffer to exist a mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or other security interest on all or a portion of (A) the patents or patent applications licensed under the Sobi License or (B) the Sobi License or any rights to receive any milestone payments, royalties or other amounts under the Sobi License, and (iv) subject to limited exceptions, issue any additional CVRs, other than pursuant to the Merger Agreement to former holders of Selecta’s Common Stock or to holders of warrants to purchase Common Stock.

Additionally, in the event of certain terminations of the Sobi License at a time when any CVRs are outstanding, the Company will, and will cause its applicable related entities to, exercise its rights to obtain a “reversion license” and enforce any of its rights under the terminated Sobi License that survive the termination or expiration thereof.

Under the CVR Agreement, the Trustee has, and Holders of at least 20% of the CVRs then-outstanding may also instruct the Trustee to exercise, certain rights to inspection, audit, and enforcement on behalf of all Holders of the CVRs.

Holders, solely by virtue of their holding of a CVR, are not entitled to dividends issued by the Company, do not have voting rights with respect to affairs of the Company, and shall have no rights upon a liquidation of the Company. The CVRs are not convertible or redeemable and do not constitute a debt or obligation of the Company.

The CVRs are transferable but are not expected to be listed on any securities exchange and no transaction involving the CVRs is expected to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The CVR Agreement is attached hereto as exhibit 4.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference. The foregoing description of the CVR Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the CVR Agreement.

Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this CVR Agreement and (subject to Section 4.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.4. The Company may set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders entitled to vote or consent to any action by vote or consent authorized or permitted under this CVR Agreement. If not previously set by the Company, (i) the record date for determining the Holders entitled to vote at a meeting of the Holders shall be the date preceding the date notice of such meeting is mailed to the Holders, or if notice is not given, on the day next preceding the day such meeting is held, and (ii) the record date for determining the Holders entitled to consent to any action in writing without a meeting shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Company.

11

action so far as concerns such Security. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security or the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, suffered or omitted to be done by the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

Section 1.6 Notice to Holders; Waiver.

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

12

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

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

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

Section 1.10 Governing Law. This CVR Agreement and all suits, actions, proceedings, claims and causes of action (whether in contract or tort) based upon, arising out of or relating to this CVR Agreement, the negotiation, execution or performance of this CVR Agreement or the Securities, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York including Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law, without regard to the conflict-of-laws principles thereof that might otherwise lead to the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Each of the Company, the Trustee and each of the Holders by their acceptance of the Securities, hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State Court sitting in the borough of Manhattan in the City of New York or any federal court sitting in the borough of Manhattan in the City of New York in respect of any suit, action, proceeding, claim or cause of action (whether in contract or tort) based upon, arising out of or relating to this CVR Agreement, the negotiation, execution or performance of this CVR Agreement or the Securities, and irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each of the Company and the Trustee agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the laws of the state of New York for such persons and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, any objection it may now or hereafter have to such service of process, the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

13

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

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

Section 1.13 No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee, agent or representative of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company or the Trustee shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Trustee under the Securities or this CVR Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security each Holder waives and releases all such liability and all such claims. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.

Section 1.14 Counterparts. This CVR Agreement shall 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 shall be deemed an original of this CVR Agreement.

Section 1.15 Acceptance of Trust. Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, the Trustee named herein, hereby accepts the trusts in this CVR Agreement declared and provided, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

Section 1.16 Termination.

THE SECURITIES

Section 3.1 Title and Terms.

(a) The aggregate number of CVRs which may be authenticated, as applicable, and delivered under this CVR Agreement is limited to 186,428,885 CVRs, except for Securities authenticated, as applicable, and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities pursuant to Section 3.5, Section 3.6 or Section 6.6. From and after the effective time of the Merger, the Company shall not be permitted to issue any CVRs that have the right to receive any portion of the Distributions, except for CVRs issued in accordance with the Merger Agreement to the holders of (i) shares of common stock of the Company or (ii) Company Warrants, in each case ((i) or (ii)), to the extent such shares or Company Warrants are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Merger. To the extent that, upon exercise of any Company Warrant, any CVRs need to be issued or any amounts distributed pursuant to Section 3.1(d), the Company shall give written notice to the Trustee of the number of CVRs to be so issued and shall request that amounts held in trust pursuant to Section 3.1(d) shall be distributed as therein provided with respect to such CVRs.

(b) The Securities shall be known and designated as the “Series A Contingent Value Rights” of the Company.

(c) Holders shall be entitled to receive, and the Company shall pay, semi- annual cash distributions in an amount equal to the Distribution due for each Distribution Period. Distributions will be cumulative from the date hereof and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on each Distribution Payment Date. Distributions shall be payable no later than close of business on the relevant Distribution Payment Date to Holders of record on the applicable Record Date. If a Distribution Payment Date is not a Business Day, payment shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day. Subject to Section 1.16, the Company’s obligations to pay the Distributions shall terminate in its entirety on the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the amount of the Distributions otherwise payable on any Distribution Payment Date shall be less than $0.02 per CVR, then the Company may elect to defer the payment of such amount to the next Distribution Payment Date when the aggregate Distributions will exceed $0.02 per CVR.

(d) Concurrently with the payment of Distributions as required in and pursuant to Section 3.1(c), the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of holders of any Company Warrants that remain outstanding and unexercised, an amount equal to the aggregate Distributions that would be due with respect to the CVRs issuable to the holders of such Company Warrants if such Company Warrants had been exercised and the corresponding CVRs had been issued in exchange therefor. The applicable portion of such amounts deposited

15

for the benefit of holders of Company Warrants shall be (i) upon exercise of a Company Warrant and issuance of CVRs in exchange therefor, paid out to the Holder of the CVRs so issued as a result of such exercise on the first Distribution Payment Date that occurs after such exercise, and (ii) upon expiration or termination of a Company Warrant, paid out as additional Distributions to the existing Holders on the first Distribution Payment Date that occurs after such expiration or termination.

(e) The Holders of the CVRs, by acceptance thereof, agree that no joint venture, partnership or other fiduciary relationship is created hereby or by the Securities.

(f) Other than in the case of interest on amounts due and payable after the occurrence of an Event of Default, no interest shall accrue on any amounts payable in respect of the CVRs.

(g) The CVRs and any interest thereon may be sold, assigned, pledged encumbered or in any manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part, only in compliance with applicable United States federal and state securities Laws and, to the extent applicable, in accordance with Section 3.5.

(h) The Holder of any CVR is not, and shall not, by virtue thereof, be entitled to any rights of a holder of any Voting Securities or other equity security or other ownership interest of the Company, in any constituent company to the Merger or in any of their respective Affiliates, either at Law or in equity, and the rights of the Holders are limited to those rights expressed in this CVR Agreement.

(i) Except as provided in this CVR Agreement, none of the Company or any of its Affiliates shall have any right to set-off any amounts owed or claimed to be owed by any Holder to any of them against such Holder’s Securities or the Distributions or other amount payable to such Holder in respect of such Securities.

Section 3.2 Registrable Form. The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form. The CVRs shall be issued initially in the form of (a) one or more permanent Global Securities, deposited with the Trustee, as the custodian for The Depository Trust Company, its nominees and successors (the “Depositary”), or (b) one or more Direct Registration Securities. Each Global Security will represent such of the outstanding CVRs as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate number of outstanding CVRs from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate number of outstanding CVRs represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and/or issuances as provided and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement.

Section 3.3 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

(a) The Global Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its chairman of the Board of Directors, its chief executive officer, any President or Vice President or any other individual duly authorized to act on behalf of the Company for such purpose or any general purpose, but need not be attested. The signature of any of these individuals on the Global Securities may be manual or facsimile.

16

(b) Global Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time of execution, the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Global Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Global Securities.

(c) At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this CVR Agreement, the Company may deliver a Company Order for the authentication, as applicable, and delivery of Securities, and the Trustee, in accordance with such Company Order, shall authenticate, as applicable, and deliver such Securities as provided in this CVR Agreement and not otherwise. In the case of Global Securities, such Company Order shall be accompanied by Global Securities executed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee for authentication in accordance with such Company Order.

(d) Each Global Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

(e) No Global Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this CVR Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee, by manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Global Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this CVR Agreement.

(f) Direct Registration Securities need not be authenticated, and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes and shall entitle each Holder thereof to all benefits of this CVR Agreement.

Section 3.4 Temporary Securities.

(a) Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine with the concurrence of the Trustee (“Temporary Securities”). Temporary Securities may contain such reference to any provisions of this CVR Agreement as may be appropriate. Every Temporary Security shall be executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities.

(b) If Temporary Securities are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the Temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the Temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 7.2, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more Temporary Securities, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like amount of definitive Securities. Until so exchanged, the Temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this CVR Agreement as definitive Securities.

17

Section 3.5 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

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

(b)

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

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

18

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

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

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

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

(vii)

19

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

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

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

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

Section 3.6 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

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

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

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

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

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

20

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

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

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

Section 3.11 Restricted Securities. The CVRs are restricted securities and shall be disposed of only pursuant to an effective registration statement under, and in compliance with the requirements of, the Securities Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable U.S. state and federal securities Laws.

ARTICLE IV

THE TRUSTEE

Section 4.1 Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

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

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

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

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

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

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

22

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

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

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

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

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

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

23

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 4.7 Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees:

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

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

24

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

Section 4.8 Disqualification; Conflicting Interests.

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

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

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

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

25

Section 4.10 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

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

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

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

(d) If at any time:

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

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

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

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

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

26

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

Section 4.11 Acceptance of Appointment of Successor.

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

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

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

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

27

Section 5.1 Company to Furnish Trustee Names and Addresses of Holders. The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee: (a) promptly after the issuance of the Securities, and semi-annually thereafter, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders as of a recent date, and (b) at such times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Company of any such request, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished; provided, however, that if and so long as the Trustee shall be the Security Registrar, no such list need be furnished.

Section 5.2 Preservation of Information; Communications to Holders.

(a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of the Holders contained in the most recent list furnished to the Trustee as provided in Section 5.1 and the names and addresses of Holders received by the Trustee in its capacity as Security Registrar. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.1 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

(b) The rights of the Holders to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights under this CVR Agreement and the corresponding rights and privileges of the Trustee shall be as provided by Section 312(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act, if applicable.

(c) Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be deemed to be in violation of Law or held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders made pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act (if applicable) regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

Section 5.3 Reports by Trustee.

(a) Within 60 days after December 31 of each year commencing with the December 31 following the date of this CVR Agreement, the Trustee shall transmit to all Holders such reports concerning the Trustee and its actions under this CVR Agreement as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to the extent and in the manner provided pursuant thereto.

The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, if applicable.

(b) A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission to the Holders, be filed by the Trustee with each stock exchange, if any, upon which the Securities are listed, with the Commission and also with the Company. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee when the Securities are listed on any stock exchange.

28

Section 5.4 Reports by Company.

(a) So long as any Securities are issued and outstanding, the Company shall provide disclosure to the Trustee of the following information as of each Distribution Payment Date with respect to the corresponding Distribution Period: Gross Proceeds, Distribution Deductions, and the calculation of Distributions in accordance with the definition thereof. Delivery of the reports, information and documents described in this Section 5.4(a) shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable there from, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants or other obligations hereunder as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates.

(b) So long as any Securities are issued and outstanding, the Company shall make available to the Trustee or a designated representative of the Requisite Holders copies of royalty reports and material correspondence or progress reports received by the Company Entities under the License Agreement, any Disposition Agreements and any New Applicable Agreement within the current and the prior two calendar years.

The audit shall be conducted by an independent public accounting firm mutually selected by the Company and the Trustee. The Company may require such accounting firm to execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement with the Company prior to commencing the audit. The Company, on one hand, and the Trustee, on the other hand, may submit to such independent accounting firm its own positions regarding the determination of the applicable amounts of the Distributions (and the Trustee shall so submit the positions that the Requisite Holders shall have instructed the Trustee to submit), Gross Proceeds and Distribution Deductions, in each case for the applicable Distribution Periods subject to such audit. The fees of the auditor shall be borne by the Holders, unless the audit reveals the underpayment of Distributions by more than 10% in the aggregate over the audited Distribution Periods, in which case the Company shall bear the costs of the audit. Following such an audit, any overpayment of Distributions shall be withheld from future Distributions, while any underpayment shall be paid to the Holders at the next regularly occurring Distribution Payment Date.

Section 6.6 Reference in Securities to Amendments. If an amendment changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. Global Securities authenticated and delivered after the execution of any amendment pursuant to this Article VI may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such amendment.

The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and any change in the location of any such office or agency.

In the event of a termination of the License Agreement by the Company that is permitted hereunder, or a termination thereof by Sobi, the Company shall, and shall cause the applicable Company Entities to exercise its rights to obtain the “Reversion License” (as defined in the License Agreement) and enforce any of its rights under the terminated License Agreement that survive the termination or expiration thereof. In the event that, following entry into of a Reversion License, any of the Company Entities enters into any sale, license, transfer or other disposition agreement with a third party that provides for the development and commercialization of SEL-212 (a “New Applicable Agreement”), the Company shall, and shall cause the applicable Company Entities to, comply with the provisions of this CVR Agreement in connection with the License Agreement, as the case may be, and references herein to the License Agreement shall be deemed to be references to the substitute New Applicable Agreement thereto, and the Company’s rights and obligations under this CVR

34

Agreement in respect of the License Agreement (including with respect to Distributions of any payments made thereunder to the Holders of CVRs) shall apply in respect of its rights and obligations under the New Applicable Agreement, mutatis mutandis; provided that any references herein to milestones payable under specific sections of the License Agreement shall instead apply more generally to any milestones payable under the New Applicable Agreement (without reference to specific sections), and without any further actions required to amend this CVR Agreement.

Section 7.9 Certain Prohibited Actions.

Section 7.10 Confidentiality. The Trustee and the Holders hereby agree that any confidential or non-public information they receive from or on behalf of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, which receipt arises out of the transactions contemplated by this CVR Agreement (the “Confidential Information”), shall: (a) not be used for any purpose other than for purposes permitted under this CVR Agreement; (b) not be used directly or indirectly in any way that is for competitive purposes; and (c) not be disclosed by, and be kept confidential by, such Trustee and the Holders and its directors, officers, members, managers, employees, affiliates and agents (collectively, “Representatives”); provided, however, that any such Confidential Information may be disclosed only to their Representatives who (i) need to know such Confidential Information and (ii) are bound in writing to a non-disclosure agreement no less restrictive than this Section 7.10. It is understood that such Representatives shall be informed by the Trustee or the applicable Holder of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information, and that the Trustee or such Holder, as applicable, shall be responsible for any disclosure or use made by its Representatives in breach of obligations under this CVR Agreement to the same extent as if such disclosure or use had been made directly by the Trustee or such Holder, as applicable. Each of the Trustee and the Holders will as soon as practicable notify the Company of any breach of this CVR Agreement of which they become aware, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist and cooperate with the Company in minimizing the consequences of such breach. “Confidential Information” shall not include any information that is (A) publicly available other than because of or related to any disclosure by the Trustee or the Holders or any of their respective Representatives or (B) is lawfully disclosed to the Trustee or the Holders by sources (other than the Company or its Affiliates) rightfully in possession of the Confidential Information on a non-confidential basis. If the Trustee, the Holders or their respective Representatives are legally required or requested to disclose any Confidential Information, they will in advance of such disclosure, unless otherwise prohibited by Law, promptly notify the Company in writing of such request or requirement so that the Company may seek to avoid or

35

minimize the required disclosure and/or obtain an appropriate protective order or other appropriate relief to ensure that any Confidential Information so disclosed is maintained in confidence to the maximum extent possible by the person receiving the disclosure, or, in the Company’s discretion, to waive compliance with the provisions of this CVR Agreement. In any such case, the Trustee and the Holders agree to cooperate and use reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize the required disclosure and/or obtain such protective order or other relief. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Trustee, the Holders or their respective Representatives are legally obligated to disclose any Confidential Information, they will disclose only so much thereof to the party compelling disclosure as they believe in good faith, on the basis of advice of counsel, is required by Law. The Trustee and the Holders shall, unless otherwise prohibited by Law, give the Company prior written notice of the specific Confidential Information that they believe they are required to disclose under such circumstances. All Confidential Information disclosed by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be, and shall remain, the property of the Company or such Affiliate.

Section 7.11 Non-Use of Name. Neither the Trustee nor the Holders shall use the name, trademark, trade name, or logo of the Company, its Affiliates or their respective employees, agents or representatives in any publicity or news release relating to this CVR Agreement or its subject matter, without the prior express written permission of the Company.

Section 7.12 Notice of Default. The Company shall file with the Trustee written notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or other default under this CVR Agreement within five Business Days of its becoming aware of such Event of Default or other default.

ARTICLE VIII

REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND HOLDERS

ON EVENT OF DEFAULT

Section 8.1 Event of Default Defined; Waiver of Default. “Event of Default” with respect to the Securities, means each one of the following events which shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of Law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

(a) default in the payment by the Company pursuant to the terms of this CVR Agreement of all or any part of the Distribution after a period of ten Business Days after the Distribution shall become due and payable on the Distribution Payment Date; or

(b) material default in the performance, or breach in any material respect, of any covenant or warranty of the Company in respect of the Securities (other than a covenant or warranty in respect of the Securities, a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section 8.1 specifically dealt with), and continuance of such material default or breach in any material respect for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Requisite Holders, a written notice specifying such material default or breach in any material respect and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or

36

(c) a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar Law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or

(d) the Company shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar Law now or hereafter in effect, or consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such Law, or consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any substantial part of its property, or make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors.

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

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

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

37

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

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

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

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

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

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

38

denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, moneys, securities and other property which the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

39

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

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

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

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

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

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

40

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

Section 8.9 Control by Holders.

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

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

Section 8.10 Waiver of Past Defaults.

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

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

41

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

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

42

delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor corporation instead of the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this CVR Agreement prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Securities which previously shall have been signed and delivered to the Trustee for authentication, and any Securities which such assuming Person thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose.
