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 Rights Agent 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, which date shall be no greater than sixty (60) days and no less than ten (10) days prior to the date of such vote or consent to any action by vote or consent authorized or permitted by this CVR Agreement.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any CVR shall bind every future Holder of the same CVR or the Holder of every CVR issued upon the registration of transfer thereof in respect of anything done, suffered or omitted to be done by the Rights Agent, any Paying Agent or the Company in reliance thereon.
SECTION e. Notices, etc., to Rights Agent and Company. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document
7
1006108252v8

provided or permitted by this CVR Agreement to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with:
(i)the Rights Agent by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed, in writing, to or with the Rights Agent at its Corporate Trust Office; or
(ii)the Company by the Rights Agent or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at [ADDRESS], or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Rights Agent by the Company.
SECTION f. Notice to Holders; Waiver.
(i)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 CVR 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 Rights Agent, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
(ii)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 Rights Agent shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.
SECTION g. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein, and the Table of Contents, are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
SECTION h. Benefits of Agreement; No Assignment. Nothing in this CVR Agreement, express or implied, shall give to any Person (other than the Parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns and, subject to Section 3.1(e) and 8.6, 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 covenants, provisions and agreements in this CVR Agreement by or for the benefit of the Company, the Rights Agent or the Holders shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives, whether so expressed or not. Neither this CVR Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or
8
1006108252v8

obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by either of the Parties without the prior written consent of the other Party.
SECTION i. Governing Law; Jurisdiction.1
(i)This CVR Agreement and the CVRs shall in all respects be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such state without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles of such state that might refer the governance, construction or interpretation of such agreements to the Laws of another jurisdiction.
(ii)All causes of action arising out of or relating to the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this CVR Agreement and the CVRs (except to the extent any such proceeding mandatorily must be brought in Bermuda) shall be heard and determined in the Delaware Court of Chancery, or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware, or, if both the Delaware Court of Chancery and the federal courts within the State of Delaware decline to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any other state court within the State of Delaware, and, in each case, any appellate court therefrom. The Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts in any such actions and irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum or lack of jurisdiction to the maintenance of any such action. The consents to jurisdiction and venue set forth in this Section 1.10(b) shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this paragraph and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the Parties. Each Party agrees that service of process upon such Party in any cause of action arising out of or relating to this CVR Agreement shall be effective if served upon them by any manner authorized by the Laws of the State of Delaware. The Parties agree that a final judgment in any such cause of action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law; provided, however, that nothing contained in the foregoing shall restrict any Party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, a final trial court judgment.
SECTION j. Legal Holidays. In the event that the CVR Payment Date shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any provision of this CVR Agreement to the contrary) payment on the CVRs 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 CVR Payment Date.
SECTION k. Separability Clause. In the event any provision in this CVR Agreement 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.
1 Note to Draft: Rights Agent to confirm Delaware law is acceptable. To the extent possible, governing law to be consistent across merger consideration security instruments.

As long as any of the CVRs remain Outstanding, the Company shall maintain in [CITY/JURISDICTION] an office or agency solely for purposes of where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the CVRs and this CVR Agreement may be served. The Company hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office as such office or agency of the Company, unless the Company shall hereafter designate and maintain some other office or agency for one or more of such purposes. The Company may act as its own Paying Agent; provided that it shall take appropriate actions to avoid the commingling of funds with respect to any amounts payable hereunder. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Rights Agent of any change in the location of any such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to furnish the Rights Agent with the address thereof, such notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Rights Agent, and the Company hereby appoints the Rights Agent as its agent to receive all such notices and demands.
SECTION c. Money for CVR Payments to Be Held in Trust.
(i)If the Company shall at any time act as the Paying Agent, it shall, on or before the CVR Payment Date, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders all sums held by such Paying Agent for payment on the CVRs until such sums shall be paid to the Holders as herein provided and shall promptly notify the Rights Agent of any failure of the Company to so act.
(ii)Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for the CVRs, it shall, on or before the CVR Payment Date, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum in same day funds sufficient to pay the amount, if any, so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such amount.

1006108252v8

(iii)The Company shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Rights Agent to execute and deliver to the Rights Agent an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Rights Agent, subject to the provisions of this Section 7.3, that (i) such Paying Agent shall hold all sums held by it for the payment of any amount payable on CVRs in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and shall notify the Rights Agent of the sums so held and (ii) that it shall give the Rights Agent notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor on the CVRs) to make any payment on the CVRs when the same shall be due and payable.
(iv)Any money deposited with the Rights Agent or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment on any CVRs and remaining unclaimed for one (1) year after the CVR Payment Date shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such CVR shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Rights Agent or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease.
SECTION d. Certain Purchases and Sales. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, on any day during (a) the period commencing ten (10) Trading Days before the start of the Maturity Valuation Period and ending on the Maturity Date or (b) the Redemption Valuation Period or the Acceleration Valuation Period: (i) offer to purchase, purchase, contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, grant any option, right or warrant to sell, or otherwise acquire or purchase, directly or indirectly, any Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares, or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that acquires from another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing restrictions are expressly agreed to preclude the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates during the applicable periods from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or reasonably expected to lead to or result in a purchase or acquisition of Shares even if such Shares would be acquired by someone other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include without limitation any purchase or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including without limitation any put option or put equivalent position or call option or call equivalent position) with respect to any of the Shares or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from such Shares.
SECTION e. Listing of CVRs. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) procure, or cause to be procured, at its sole expense, the listing of the CVRs on the NYSE(or, if unable to be listed on the NYSE, on the OTCQX market) as of the Effective Time, to the extent the CVRs meet all of the applicable exchange’s listing requirements, including the minimum holder requirement, and (ii) maintain a listing for trading on the NYSE for so long as any CVRs remain Outstanding, or, if unable to be listed on the NYSE, on the OTCQX market, in
24
1006108252v8

each case, to the extent the CVRs meet all of the applicable exchange’s listing requirements, including the minimum holder requirement.
ARTICLE 8.
REMEDIES OF THE RIGHTS AGENT AND HOLDERS IN THE EVENT OF BREACH
SECTION a. Breach Defined; Waiver of Breach. “Breach” with respect to the CVRs, means each one of the following events which shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Breach 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):
(i)failure to pay all or any part of any CVR Payment Amount as and when such CVR Payment Amount shall become due and payable as provided in this CVR Agreement;
(ii)material breach in the performance, or breach in any material respect, of any covenant or warranty of the Company under Section 6.1 or 6.2 or Article 7 and continuance of such breach for a period of thirty (30) days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Rights Agent or to the Company and the Rights Agent by the Acting Holders, a written notice specifying such breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Breach” hereunder;
(iii)a court of competent jurisdiction 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 shall appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) for 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 thirty (30) consecutive days; or
(iv)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 a Breach described above occurs and is continuing, then, unless all of the CVRs shall have already become due and payable, either the Rights Agent may, by notice in writing to the Company, or the Rights Agent shall, upon the written request of the Acting Holders by notice in writing to the Company and to the Rights Agent, declare the CVRs to be due and payable immediately (such date of declaration, the “Breach Declaration Date”), and on the first (1st) calendar day immediately following the last day of the Acceleration Valuation Period (the “Acceleration Payment Date”), the Acceleration Payment shall become immediately due and payable to each Holder for each of such Holder’s Outstanding CVRs and shall thereafter bear
25
1006108252v8

interest at the Breach Interest Rate. All determinations with respect to the calculation of the Acceleration Payment shall be reasonably made by the Company in good faith, and such determinations shall be binding on the Holders absent gross negligence, willful misconduct or manifest error. Not later than the third (3rd) Business Day after the Acceleration Payment Date, the Company shall (x) prepare and file with the Rights Agent a certificate setting forth such determinations and facts accounting for such determinations and (y) mail such certificate to the Holders, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, as their names and addresses appear in the CVR Register.
In the event of a Breach described in Section 8.1(a) in respect of any Maturity Payment or Redemption Payment, the amount of such Maturity Payment or Redemption Payment unpaid following the Maturity Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be, shall bear interest from and after the Maturity Date or the Redemption Date, as applicable, at the Breach Interest Rate.
The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the condition that if, at any time after the CVRs shall have been so declared due and payable, 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 Rights Agent a sum sufficient to pay all amounts which shall have become due and payable (with interest upon any such overdue amount at the Breach Interest Rate to the date of such payment or deposit) and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Rights Agent, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred and all advances made, by the Rights Agent, except as a result of gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Rights Agent, and if any and all Breaches under this CVR Agreement, other than the nonpayment of the amounts which shall have become due, 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 Rights Agent, may waive all such Breaches and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent breach or shall impair any right consequent thereof.
SECTION b. Collection by the Rights Agent; the Rights Agent May Prove Payment Obligations. The Company covenants that in the case of any failure to pay all or any part of the CVRs when the same shall have become due and payable, then upon demand of the Rights Agent, the Company shall pay to the Rights Agent for the benefit of the Holders of the CVRs the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all CVRs (with interest from the date due and payable to the date of such payment upon the overdue amount at the Breach 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 Rights Agent and each predecessor Rights Agent, their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and any expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Rights Agent and each predecessor Rights Agent, except as a result of its gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.
The Rights Agent may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Rights Agent shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any
26
1006108252v8

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 Rights Agent 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 CVRs and collect in the manner provided by Law out of the property of the Company or other obligor upon such CVRs, wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.
In any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or other obligor upon the CVRs, irrespective of whether any amount is then due and payable with respect to the CVRs, the Rights Agent is authorized:
(i)to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount owing and unpaid in respect of the CVRs, and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Rights Agent (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Rights Agent and each predecessor Rights Agent, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Rights Agent and each predecessor Rights Agent, except as a result of gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith) and of the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or other obligor upon the CVRs, or to their respective property;
(ii)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
(iii)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 Rights Agent 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 Rights Agent, and, in the event that the Rights Agent shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Rights Agent such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Rights Agent, each predecessor Rights Agent and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Rights Agent and each predecessor Rights Agent, except as a result of its gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, and all other amounts due to the Rights Agent or any predecessor Rights Agent pursuant to Section 4.7. 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 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,
27
1006108252v8

whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or safeguard arrangement or otherwise.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Rights Agent to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, safeguard arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the CVRs, or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Rights Agent 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 may be enforced by the Rights Agent without the possession of any of the CVRs and any trial or other proceedings instituted by the Rights Agent 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 Rights Agent, each predecessor Rights Agent and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders.
In any proceedings brought by the Rights Agent (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this CVR Agreement to which the Rights Agent shall be a party) the Rights Agent shall be held to represent all the Holders, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of such CVRs parties to any such proceedings (unless required by applicable Law).
SECTION c. Application of Proceeds. Any monies collected by the Rights Agent pursuant to this Article 8 in respect of any CVRs shall be applied in the following order at the date or dates fixed by the Rights Agent in respect of which monies have been collected:
FIRST: To the payment of costs and expenses in respect of which monies have been collected, including reasonable compensation to the Rights Agent and each predecessor Rights Agent and their respective agents and attorneys and of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Rights Agent and each predecessor Rights Agent, except as a result of its gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, and all other amounts due to the Rights Agent or any predecessor Rights Agent pursuant to Section 4.7;
SECOND: To the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon all the CVRs, with interest at the Breach 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 CVRs, then to the payment of such amounts without preference or priority of any security over any other CVR, 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.
SECTION d. Suits for Enforcement. In case a Breach has occurred, has not been waived and is continuing, the Rights Agent may in its discretion (subject to Section 1.10) proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this CVR Agreement by such appropriate
28
1006108252v8

judicial proceedings as the Rights Agent shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights (unless authorization and/or appearance of each of the Holders is required by applicable Law), either at Law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this 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 Rights Agent by this CVR Agreement or by Law.
SECTION e. Restoration of Rights on Abandonment of Proceedings. In case the Rights Agent 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 Rights Agent or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Company and the Rights Agent and the Holders shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Rights Agent and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.
SECTION f. Limitations on Suits by Holders. Subject to the rights of the Holders under Section 8.7, no Holder of any CVR shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself 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 the Acting Holders previously shall have given to the Rights Agent written notice of breach and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Acting Holders shall have made written request upon the Rights Agent to institute such action or proceedings in its own name as rights agent hereunder and shall have offered to the Rights Agent such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Rights Agent for thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice and request shall have failed to institute any such action or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Rights Agent pursuant to Section 8.9; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every CVR with every other taker and Holder and the Rights Agent, that no one or more Holders of CVRs shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself of any provision of this CVR Agreement to effect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such Holder of CVRs, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any right under this CVR Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of CVRs. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 8.6, each and every Holder and the Rights Agent shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at Law or in equity.
SECTION g. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision in this CVR Agreement and any provision of any CVR, the right of any Holder of any CVR to receive payment of the amounts payable in respect of such CVR on or after the respective due dates expressed in such CVR, 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.
29
1006108252v8

SECTION h. Powers and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver of Breach.
(i)Except as provided in Section 8.6, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Rights Agent 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.
(ii)No delay or omission of the Rights Agent or of any Holder to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Breach occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Breach or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to Section 8.6, every power and remedy given by this CVR Agreement or by Law to the Rights Agent or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Rights Agent or by the Holders.
SECTION i. Control by Holders.
(i)The Majority Holders shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Rights Agent, or exercising any power conferred on the Rights Agent with respect to the CVRs 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 Rights Agent shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Rights Agent, being advised by counsel, shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Rights Agent in good faith by its board of directors, the executive committee, or a committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Rights Agent shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed would involve the Rights Agent in personal liability or if the Rights Agent 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 CVRs not joining in the giving of said direction.
(ii)Nothing in this CVR Agreement shall impair the right of the Rights Agent in its discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Rights Agent and which is not inconsistent with such direction or directions by Holders.
SECTION j. Waiver of Past Breaches.
(i)In the case of a breach or a Breach specified in clause (b), (c) or (d) of Section 8.1, the Majority Holders may waive any such Breach, and its consequences, except a breach in respect of a covenant or provisions hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each CVR affected. In the case of any
30
1006108252v8

such waiver, the Company, the Rights Agent and the Holders of the CVRs shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other breach or impair any right consequent thereon.
(ii)Upon any such waiver, such breach shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Breach 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 Breach or other breach of any kind or impair any right consequent thereon.
SECTION k. Right of Court to Require Filing of Undertaking to Pay Costs. All Parties to this CVR Agreement agree, and each Holder of any CVR by receiving or holding the same 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 Rights Agent for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as the Rights Agent, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including attorneys’ fees, 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; but the provisions of this Section 8.11 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Rights Agent, to any suit instituted by any Holder or group of Holders holding in the aggregate more than ten percent (10%) of the Outstanding CVRs or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of any CVR on or after the due date expressed in such CVR.
