     (c) Subject to the restriction 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 and any other documentation reasonably requested by the CVR Registrar, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the CVR Registrar, properly completed and duly executed by the Holder thereof,

his attorney duly authorized in writing, personal representative or survivor and setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances relating to the transfer, and such signature to be guaranteed by a participant in a recognized Signature Guarantee Medallion Program. Upon receipt of such written notice and all other necessary information, the CVR Registrar shall, register the transfer of the CVRs in the CVR Register. All duly transferred CVRs registered in the CVR Register shall be the valid obligations of Parent, evidencing the same right, and shall entitle the transferee to the same benefits and rights under this Agreement, as those held by the transferor. No transfer of a CVR shall be valid until registered in the CVR Register, and any transfer not duly registered in the CVR Register will be void ab initio. Any transfer or assignment of the CVRs shall be without charge (other than the cost of any transfer tax or other governmental charge that may be payable in respect of such transfer or assignment, which shall be the responsibility of the transferor) to the Holder. The Rights Agent shall have no duty or obligation under any Section of this Agreement that requires the payment of taxes or charges unless and until it is satisfied that such taxes and/or charges have been paid.

     (c) In the event that the applicable Milestone Payment has not been made in accordance with and during the timeframes provided for in the Facet Agreement or the Wyeth Agreement, as the case may be (a “Milestone Payment Failure”), the Parent shall deliver to the Rights Agent a notice signed by the chief executive officer, president or chief financial officer of Parent notifying the Rights Agent of the Milestone Payment Failure (the “Milestone Payment Failure Notice”). The Rights Agent shall forward any Milestone Payment Failure Notice it receives to the Holders within five (5) Business Days of receipt.

The Rights Agent shall have no duty or obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy, validity or sufficiency of the applicable CVR Payment Amount.

     (c) Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted or withheld, from each CVR Payment Amount otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or paid over to or deposited with the relevant Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Holder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Each of the Litigation Parties agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

     (d) Each of the Litigation Parties irrevocably consents to the service of any summons and complaint and any other process in any other action relating to this Agreement, on behalf of itself or its property, by the personal delivery of copies of such process to such Litigation Party.
