Net Proceeds shall be calculated on an aggregate basis across all Legacy Assets (and not on a Legacy Asset-by-Legacy Asset basis), such that Permitted Deductions attributable to any Legacy Asset may be applied against Gross Proceeds attributable to any other Legacy Asset; provided that any Permitted Deductions in excess of aggregate Gross Proceeds for

any CVR Payment Period shall be carried forward and applied against aggregate Gross Proceeds in subsequent CVR Payment Periods. For clarity, if any of the applicable Gross Proceeds or Permitted Deductions are not in U.S. dollars, currency conversion to U.S. dollars shall be made by using the exchange rate published by Bloomberg on the date of receipt of such Gross Proceeds or date of payment of relevant Permitted Deductions, as applicable.

joining in the filing of any consolidated, combined, unitary or similar Tax Return that includes Ambros, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries (for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that a Tax attribute of Ambros or any of its Subsidiaries is used by the group to reduce a tax payable, Werewolf and its Affiliates shall be deemed to have paid that Tax liability, and any amounts computed pursuant to this clause (a) shall be deemed to have been paid or payable and remitted by a Payment Obligor in the CVR Payment Period in which the related Gross Proceeds are included in Gross Proceeds); provided, further that, with respect to any Legacy Asset Transaction consummated prior to the Effective Time, including any such Legacy Asset Transaction consummated on the Closing Date but prior to the Effective Time, each amount in respect of Taxes described in this clause (a) that is attributable to proceeds included in Gross Proceeds shall, to the extent not taken into account in the determination of Final Werewolf Net Cash, be deemed to have been paid or remitted by a Payment Obligor and shall constitute a Permitted Deduction for the first CVR Payment Period (for this purpose, an amount shall be treated as having been taken into account in Final Werewolf Net Cash only to the extent it resulted in a dollar-for-dollar reduction in Final Werewolf Net Cash, whether through a reduction of Werewolf’s Cash and Cash Equivalents or as a separate deduction, reserve, accrual, funding amount, holdback, offset or other adjustment in the calculation of Final Werewolf Net Cash);

(b) any documented internal or out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually paid by Werewolf or any of its Affiliates reasonably allocable to one or more Legacy Asset(s), including any losses paid or payable by Werewolf or any of its Affiliates arising out of any third-party claims, demands, actions or other proceedings relating to or in connection with any Legacy Asset Transaction, including indemnification obligations of Werewolf or any of its Affiliates set forth in any Legacy Asset Agreement, technology transfer costs, litigation costs, contractual expenses or any costs in respect of head licenses for sublicensed technology and the development or prosecution, maintenance or enforcement by Werewolf or any of its Subsidiaries of intellectual property rights but excluding any costs related to a breach of this Agreement, including costs incurred in litigation in respect of the same; provided that internal costs for a particular activity shall only include the direct personnel and other incremental costs actually paid by Werewolf or its Affiliates in performing such activity under such Legacy Asset Agreement, and shall exclude (i) all general and administrative expenses, corporate overhead, shared services costs and any indirect or allocated costs (including finance, executive management, legal, human resources, IT, facilities, insurance and similar corporate functions), (ii) depreciation, amortization and other non-cash expenses, (iii) any recovery or allocation of capital expenditures or capitalized costs; provided, that, as determined in accordance with the Wind-Down Expense Determination Procedures, any Wind-Down Estimated Expenses that will no longer be incurred as a direct result of such disposition shall be added back in the calculation of Net Proceeds;

(c) any documented internal and out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually paid by Werewolf or any of its Affiliates in connection with business development related efforts with respect to the Legacy Asset(s), including any brokerage fee, finder’s fee, opinion fee, success fee, transaction fee, legal costs, service fee or other fee, commission or expense owed to any broker, finder, investment bank, auditor, accountant, counsel, advisor or other third party in relation thereto (but excluding any costs or expenses previously deducted from Gross Proceeds), in each case as incurred by or on behalf of, or approved in advance by, the Legacy Asset Consultant;

Requisite Holders” means the Holders holding not less than ten percent (10%) of the then-outstanding CVRs.

Rights Agent” means the Rights Agent named in the first paragraph of this Agreement, until a successor Rights Agent will have become such pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Agreement, and thereafter “Rights Agent” will mean such successor Rights Agent.

Wind-Down Expense Determination Procedures” means, following any disposition of any Legacy Asset, a determination mutually agreed in good faith by Werewolf and the Legacy Asset Consultant that a Wind-Down Estimated Expense will no longer be incurred as a direct result of the wind-down of such Legacy Asset.

1.2 Rules of Construction. Except as otherwise explicitly specified to the contrary, (a) references to a Section means a Section of this Agreement unless another agreement is specified, (b) the word “including” (in its various forms) means “including without limitation,” (c) references to a particular statute or regulation include all rules and regulations thereunder and any predecessor or successor statute, rules or regulation, in each case as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, (d) words in the singular or plural form include the plural and singular form, respectively, (e) references to a particular Person include such Person’s successors and assigns to the extent not prohibited by this Agreement, (f) all references to dollars or “$” refer to United States dollars and (g) the word “or” shall not be exclusive (i.e., “or” shall be deemed to mean “and/or”) unless the subjects of the conjunction are mutually exclusive. For clarity, the Parties agree that the phrase “adverse” when used in this Agreement with respect to the Holders includes any amendment or other action, as applicable, that does or would be reasonably expected to reduce, eliminate, or delay (y) any payment to the Holders under this Agreement by more than de minimis amounts, or (z) any payment to Werewolf or its successors or their Subsidiaries under any Legacy Asset Agreement that would constitute a CVR Payment Amount by more than de minimis amounts.

2. CONTINGENT VALUE RIGHTS

2.1 CVRs; Appointment of Rights Agent.

(a) As provided in the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, Werewolf shall issue and distribute, by way of a dividend or distribution consistent with the Merger Agreement , one CVR for each share of Werewolf Common Stock held of record as of the close of business on the last Business Day prior to the Effective Time (less applicable withholding Taxes). Each CVR represents the contingent right of a Holder to receive the CVR Payment Amount with respect to any Legacy Asset Agreement, divided by the number of then-outstanding CVRs pursuant to this Agreement, to be paid in accordance with this Agreement. The initial Holders will be determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

(b) Werewolf hereby appoints the Rights Agent to act as rights agent for Werewolf as contemplated hereby in accordance with the express terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (and no implied terms or conditions), and the Rights Agent hereby accepts such appointment.

2.2 Nontransferable. The CVRs will not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or in any other manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part, other than through a Permitted Transfer. Any attempted transfer that is not a Permitted Transfer, in whole or in part, will be void ab initio and of no effect. The CVRs will not be listed on any quotation system or traded on any securities exchange.

 

7


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

(a) The CVRs will be issued in book entry format and will not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument.

(b) The Rights Agent will keep a register (the “CVR Register”) for the purpose of registering CVRs and transfers of CVRs as permitted herein. The CVR Register will initially show one position for Cede & Co. representing all the shares of Werewolf Common Stock held by DTC on behalf of the street name holders or beneficial owners of the shares of Werewolf Common Stock held by or beneficially owned by such holders as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. The Rights Agent will have no responsibility whatsoever directly to the street name holders or beneficial owners with respect to transfers of CVRs unless and until such CVRs are transferred into the name of such street name holders or beneficial owners in accordance with Section 2.3.

(c) Subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in Section 2.2, every request made to transfer a CVR must be in writing and accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Rights Agent, duly executed by the Holder thereof or the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, personal representative or survivor and setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances relating to the transfer. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Rights Agent will, subject to its reasonable determination that the transfer instrument is in proper form and the transfer otherwise complies with the other terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 2.2), register the transfer of the CVRs in the CVR Register. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer of a CVR, but Werewolf or the Rights Agent, as applicable, may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or governmental charge that is imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer. The Rights Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any action under any section of this Agreement that requires the payment by a Holder of applicable taxes or charges unless and until the Rights Agent is satisfied that all such taxes or charges have been paid or will be paid. All duly transferred CVRs registered in the CVR Register will be the valid obligations of Werewolf and will entitle the transferee to the same benefits and rights under this Agreement as those held immediately prior to the transfer by the transferor. No transfer of a CVR will be valid until registered in the CVR Register, and any transfer not duly registered in the CVR Register will be void ab initio.

(d) A Holder may make a written request to the Rights Agent to change such Holder’s address of record in the CVR Register. The written request must be duly executed by the Holder. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Rights Agent will promptly record the change of address in the CVR Register.

2.4 Payment Procedures.

(a) If a Legacy Asset Agreement is entered into during the Disposition Period, then Werewolf shall promptly deliver to the Rights Agent written notice indicating that a Legacy Asset Agreement has been entered into and a copy of the Legacy Asset Agreement and any ancillary agreements thereto.

(b) On or before each CVR Payment Date, with respect to any Legacy Asset Agreement, Werewolf will deliver to the Rights Agent (i) a notice (in each case, a “CVR Payment Notice”) indicating (A) that the Holders are entitled to receive one or more payments with respect to Net Proceeds from the applicable Legacy Asset Agreement, (B) the source and trigger event for such payment of such Net Proceeds under the applicable Legacy Asset Agreement, and (C) the Gross Proceeds, Net Proceeds and any Permitted Deductions, with reasonable supporting detail

 

8


for such Permitted Deductions, as applicable, (ii) an Officer’s Certificate certifying such calculation and (iii) any letter of instruction reasonably required by the Rights Agent. On or before any CVR Payment Date, Werewolf shall, in accordance with Section 4.2, transfer to the Rights Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Rights Agent an amount of cash equal to the applicable CVR Payment Amount for such CVR Payment Date payable to the Holders on account of all CVRs in respect of such Net Proceeds under the applicable Legacy Asset Agreement. All payments made by Werewolf hereunder shall be made in U.S. dollars. For the avoidance of doubt, Werewolf shall have no further liability in respect of the relevant CVR Payment Amount upon delivery of such CVR Payment Amount in accordance with this Section 2.4(b) and the satisfaction of each of Werewolf’s obligations set forth in this Section 2.4(b).

(c) The Rights Agent will promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of any CVR Payment Notice (each such date, a “CVR Notice Date”), send each Holder at its registered address a copy of the applicable CVR Payment Notice. At the time the Rights Agent sends a copy of such CVR Payment Notice to the Holders, the Rights Agent will also pay the applicable CVR Payment Amount to the Holders, with each Holder receiving an amount equal to the product of A * B where “A” equals the quotient of (i) the applicable CVR Payment Amount in respect of the applicable Net Proceeds under the applicable Legacy Asset Agreement, divided by (ii) the then-outstanding number of CVRs held by all Holders, and “B” equals the number of CVRs held by such Holder as reflected on the CVR Register, by check mailed to the address of each Holder as reflected in the CVR Register, in each case, as of the close of business on the last Business Day prior to such CVR Notice Date.

(d) In addition to any Permitted Deductions, Werewolf and its Affiliates and the Rights Agent shall be entitled to deduct or withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from any amounts required to be paid or distributed under this Agreement (including any CVR Payment Amount otherwise payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement), such amounts as are reasonably determined to be required to be deducted or withheld with respect to the making of such payment or distribution (including in respect of the distribution of CVRs) under the Code or any other provision of any applicable federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over or deposited with the relevant Tax authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Holder(s) to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid or delivered. Werewolf shall instruct the Rights Agent to use commercially reasonable efforts to solicit from such Holder any necessary Tax forms (including an IRS Form W-9 or an applicable IRS Form W-8) a reasonable amount of time prior to making any such Tax withholdings or causing any such Tax withholdings to be made with respect to any Holder in order to provide the opportunity for the Holder to provide such Tax forms in order to avoid or reduce such withholding amounts.

(e) Any portion of any CVR Payment Amount that remains undistributed to the Holders six (6) months after an applicable CVR Notice Date will be delivered by the Rights Agent to Werewolf, upon demand, and any Holder will thereafter look only to Werewolf for payment of such CVR Payment Amount, without interest.

 

9


(f) Neither Werewolf nor the Rights Agent will be liable to any person in respect of any CVR Payment Amount delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If, despite Werewolf’s and the Rights Agent’s reasonable best efforts to deliver a CVR Payment Amount to the applicable Holder, any CVR Payment Amount has not been paid prior to one (1) year after an applicable CVR Notice Date, as applicable (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which the CVR Payment Amount would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority), any such CVR Payment Amount will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Werewolf, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(g) For all U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes the Parties agree to treat (i) the CVRs issued pursuant to the Pre-Closing Distribution as a distribution of property by Werewolf with respect to the Werewolf Common Stock to which Section 301 of the Code applies, and not as consideration paid or received in connection with the Merger and (ii) any CVR Payment Amount as a contractual payment pursuant to the rights afforded by this Agreement to the Holder and not as a distribution by Werewolf in respect of Werewolf Common Stock. Each of the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, report such treatment consistently on all U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax Returns and shall not take any position inconsistent therewith for such Tax purposes, except as otherwise required by a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or applicable Law. Consistent with the tax treatment described in this Section 2.4(g), Werewolf will send, or cause to be sent, IRS Forms 1099-DIV to all Holders notifying them of the portion of the CVR value that is a nondividend distribution (or a dividend to the extent of Werewolf’s current or accumulated earnings and profits) for U.S. federal income Tax purposes. Werewolf (but not Ambros) will independently retain and pay for the services of a third-party valuation firm to determine the fair market value of the CVRs and Werewolf will utilize such fair market value for purposes of all Tax reporting (including on IRS Forms 1099-DIV) with respect to the CVRs.

2.5 No Voting, Dividends or Interest; No Equity or Ownership Interest in Werewolf.

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

(b) The CVRs will not represent any equity or ownership interest in Werewolf or in any constituent company to the Merger. The sole right of the Holders to receive property hereunder is the right to receive CVR Payment Amount, if any, in accordance with the terms hereof.

(c) Neither Werewolf or its directors and officers nor Ambros or its directors and officers will be deemed to have any fiduciary or similar duties to any Holder by virtue of this Agreement or the CVRs.

(d) It is further acknowledged and agreed that neither Ambros nor its Affiliates owe, by virtue of their obligations under this Agreement, a fiduciary duty or any implied duties to the Holders and the parties hereto intend solely the express provisions of this Agreement to govern their contractual relationship with respect to the CVRs. It is acknowledged and agreed that this Section 2.5(d) is an essential and material term of this Agreement.

 

10


2.6 Ability to Abandon CVR. A Holder may at any time, at such Holder’s option, abandon all of such Holder’s remaining rights in a CVR by transferring such CVR to Werewolf without consideration therefor. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to prohibit Werewolf or any of its Affiliates from offering to acquire or acquiring CVRs for consideration from the Holders, in private transactions or otherwise, in its sole discretion. Any CVRs acquired by Werewolf or any of its Affiliates (including Ambros) shall be automatically deemed extinguished and no longer outstanding or entitled to the CVR Payment Amount for purposes of this Agreement, or to count for the purpose of any vote or determination of the Holders for purposes of this Agreement.

3. THE RIGHTS AGENT

3.1 Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

(a) 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 Rights Agent will not have any liability for any actions taken or not taken in connection with this Agreement, except to the extent of its willful or intentional misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence. If an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Rights Agent shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this 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. No provision of this Agreement will require the Rights Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnification against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(b) The Holders, acting by the written consent of the Requisite Holders, may direct the Rights Agent to act on behalf of the Holders in enforcing any of their rights hereunder. The Rights Agent shall be under no obligation to institute any action, suit or proceeding, or to take any other action likely to result in the incurrence of material expenses by the Rights Agent, unless such acting Holders (on behalf of all Holders) shall furnish the Rights Agent with reasonable security and indemnity for all reasonable, necessary and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses that may be incurred. All rights of action under this Agreement may be enforced by the Rights Agent, any action, suit or proceeding instituted by the Rights Agent shall be brought in its name as the Rights Agent and any recovery in connection therewith shall be for the proportionate benefit of all the Holders, as their respective rights or interests may appear.

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

(a) The Rights Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to Werewolf and the Holders specifying a date when such resignation will take effect, which notice will be sent at least sixty (60) days prior to the date so specified, but in no event shall such resignation become effective until a successor Rights Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment in accordance with Section 3.4. Werewolf has the right to remove Rights Agent at any time by a Board Resolution specifying a date when such removal will take effect. Notice of such removal will be given by Werewolf to Rights Agent, which notice will be sent at least sixty (60) days prior to the date so specified, but no such removal shall become effective until a successor Rights Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment in accordance with Section 3.4.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Werewolf shall fail to make such appointment within a period of sixty (60) days after giving notice of such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent, then the incumbent Rights Agent may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights Agent. The successor Rights Agent so appointed in accordance with this Section 3.3(b) will, upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with Section 3.4, become the successor Rights Agent.

(c) Werewolf will give notice to each Holder of each resignation and each removal of a Rights Agent and each appointment of a successor Rights Agent by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail to the Holders as their names and addresses appear in the CVR Register. Each notice will include the name and address of the successor Rights Agent. If Werewolf fails to send such notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of appointment by a successor Rights Agent, the successor Rights Agent will cause the notice to be mailed at the expense of Werewolf. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 3.3(c), however, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the appointment of the successor Rights Agent, as the case may be.

Every successor Rights Agent appointed hereunder will execute, acknowledge and deliver to Werewolf and to the retiring Rights Agent an instrument accepting such appointment and a counterpart of this Agreement, and thereupon such successor Rights Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, will become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Rights Agent. On request of Werewolf or the successor Rights Agent, the retiring Rights Agent will execute and deliver an instrument transferring to the successor Rights Agent all the rights, powers and trusts and duties of the retiring Rights Agent.

Werewolf shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, reasonably cooperate with the Legacy Asset Consultant in connection with the foregoing, including by providing the Legacy Asset Consultant with periodic reporting on information reasonably requested by of the Legacy Asset Consultant for purposes of its Legacy Asset monetization efforts during the Disposition Period; provided that such cooperation shall not require Werewolf or any of its Subsidiaries to (i) disclose information subject to attorney-client privilege or other applicable privilege or protection, (ii) breach any confidentiality obligation owed to a third party, or (iii) take any action that would unreasonably disrupt its normal business operations. Werewolf shall not, and Werewolf shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, take any action or forego taking any action for the primary purpose of delaying, preventing or minimizing the CVR Payment Amounts contemplated hereunder.

The Legacy Asset Consultant shall respond to any such request within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt, and any such cost or expense not affirmatively objected to by the Legacy Asset Consultant in writing within such period shall be deemed approved. If the Legacy Asset Consultant objects to a proposed cost or expense, Werewolf and the Legacy Asset Consultant shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objection; if they are unable to do so within fifteen (15)

 

14


Business Days, either Werewolf or the Legacy Asset Consultant may refer the disputed item for resolution by an independent third-party expert mutually agreed by Werewolf and the Legacy Asset Consultant, whose determination shall be final and binding on the Parties absent manifest error, with the costs of such expert shared equally by Werewolf and the Holders (borne, in the case of the Holders, as a Permitted Deduction).

(d) Removal and Replacement. The Legacy Asset Consultant may be removed and replaced only upon the mutual written agreement of Werewolf and the Requisite Holders. If the Legacy Asset Consultant resigns, is removed, or becomes unable to serve, Werewolf and the Requisite Holders shall promptly and in good faith agree upon a qualified successor Legacy Asset Consultant.

4.4 Records. During the CVR Period, Werewolf shall maintain (and shall cause the other Payment Obligors to maintain) true, complete and accurate books and records in sufficient detail to enable the Holders and their consultants, Independent Accountants (as defined below) or professional advisors to determine the amounts payable hereunder (including books and records relating to any Legacy Asset Agreement in sufficient detail to permit the Holders to confirm all CVR Payment Amounts in the CVR Period).

4.5 Audit and Information Rights.

(a) At any time during the term of this Agreement or the one (1)-year period following the date of the termination of this Agreement, upon reasonable advance written notice from the Requisite Holders, Werewolf shall permit an independent certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing selected by such Holders and reasonably acceptable to Werewolf (the “Independent Accountant”) to have access at reasonable times during normal business hours to the books and records of Werewolf and its Affiliates as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate and verify any of the Payment Obligor’s receipt, categorization and accuracy of payments received under any Legacy Asset Agreement and the CVR Payment Amounts hereunder with respect to the two (2) most recently completed CVR Payment Periods as of the date of such audit request; provided that (x) such Holders (and, if applicable, the Independent Accountant) enter into customary confidentiality agreements reasonably satisfactory to Werewolf with respect to the confidential information of Werewolf or its Affiliates to be furnished pursuant to this Section 4.5(b) and (y) such access does not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of Werewolf or any of its Affiliates. The Independent Accountant shall act only as an expert and not as an arbitrator. The fees charged by the Independent Accountant shall be borne by such Holders, unless such audit identifies an aggregate underpayment by Werewolf of the CVR Payment Amounts owed to Holders by more than ten percent (10%), in which case such fees shall

 

15


be paid by Werewolf. The Independent Accountant shall provide Werewolf with a copy of all disclosures made to such Holders. The decision of the Independent Accountant shall be final, conclusive and binding on Werewolf and the Holders, shall be nonappealable and shall not be subject to further review, absent manifest error. Werewolf shall promptly pay, or cause the Rights Agent to promptly pay, the Holders the amount of any underpayment identified in such audit, with each Holder receiving their proportionate share of such underpayment based on the number of CVRs held by such Holder as of the date such CVR Payment Amount was initially due. If the audit reveals an overpayment, Werewolf shall be entitled to withhold such amount from future CVR Payment Amounts. An audit shall not be requested more frequently than once each calendar year and no CVR Payment Period shall be subject to more than one audit; provided that, no audit may be requested more than one (1) year following expiration of the CVR Period.

19


assignees, and the Holders and their respective successors and permitted assignees) any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement or under any covenant or provision herein contained, all such covenants and provisions being for the sole benefit of the Rights Agent, Werewolf, Werewolf’s successors and permitted assignees, and the Holders and their respective successors and permitted assignees. The rights of Holders are limited to those expressly provided in this Agreement.

7.5 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall give to any Person (other than the Rights Agent, Werewolf, Werewolf’s successors and Assignees, each of whom is intended to be, and is, a third party beneficiary hereunder; provided that, the Holders shall be considered third party beneficiaries solely to the extent set forth in Section 6) any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement or under any covenant or provision herein contained, all such covenants and provisions being for the sole benefit of the Rights Agent, Werewolf, Werewolf’s successors and Assignees, and the Holders (solely to the extent set forth in Section 6).

7.7 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

7.8 Termination. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.4(f) and 4.5, this Agreement will be terminated and of no force or effect, the parties hereto will have no liability hereunder, and no payments will be required to be made, upon the earliest to occur of (a) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms prior to the Closing occurring thereunder, (b) forty-five (45) days after the Expiration Date, (c) the mutual written agreement of Werewolf and the Requisite Holders to terminate this Agreement, and (d) the date on which Werewolf’s payment obligations with respect to all Legacy Asset Agreements then in effect have been fully satisfied and no further amounts are or could become payable thereunder (provided that, the foregoing shall not affect or limit the obligations of Werewolf or the Rights Agent to pay or otherwise with respect to any CVR Payment Amount payable during the CVR Period, and the provisions of this Agreement applicable thereto shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement). In no event will any CVR Payment Amount become payable for any consideration received by Werewolf, Ambros, or any of their respective Affiliates, under a Legacy Asset Agreement after the Expiration Date and any such consideration shall not be Gross Proceeds under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such termination shall affect any rights or obligations accrued prior to the effective date of such termination or this Section 7, which shall survive the termination of this Agreement, or the resignation, replacement or removal of the Rights Agent.

7.9 Entire Agreement; Counterparts; Exchanges by Electronic Transmission. This Agreement, the Merger Agreement, and the other schedules, exhibits, certificates, instruments and agreements referred to in this Agreement and the Merger Agreement constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among or between any of the parties hereto and thereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof; provided, however, that the Confidentiality Agreement shall not be superseded and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by all parties by electronic transmission in .PDF format shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
