WHEREAS:

(A)

The Company has the right to conduct research and clinical testing on the Antibody (as defined below). At this time, the Company does not intend to undertake any further development of the Antibody.

(B)

The Charity's charitable objects are to protect and promote the health of the public in particular by research into the nature, causes, diagnosis, prevention, treatment and cure of cancer, including development of findings of research into practical applications.

(C)

The Charity has expertise in the clinical evaluation of novel anti-cancer agents and considers that the Antibody has the potential to be a valuable drug that could be applied for the treatment of cancer. Accordingly, the Charity is interested in undertaking the development of the Antibody at its own cost. As the development is to be undertaken in pursuance of the Charity's charitable objects, the Charity will have the right to publish the results of such development work.

(D)

On completion of the Charity’s development work, the Company will have the option to take a licence to the results thereof with a view to the Company developing the drug further. If the Company does not wish to take a licence to such results, then CRT shall have the right to an assignment of rights owned by the Company and a licence to the rights licensed to the Company, in both cases in and to the Antibody, to enable CRT to find an alternative partner to develop the Antibody further.

(E)

CRT is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Charity and is, by arrangement with the Charity, responsible for the management, exploitation and commercialisation of intellectual property generated by the Charity or using funding from the Charity and the Charity has assigned and will assign such intellectual property to CRT for such purpose. CRT remits all its taxable profits to the Charity.

(F)

The Company, CRT and the Charity have therefore agreed to enter into this Agreement to enable the Charity to undertake the development of the Antibody subject to the following terms and conditions:

CONFIDENTIALITY/PUBLICATION

5.1

Subject to Clause 5.5, each Party shall keep confidential and not disclose to any third party (other than the Experts, Contributors, Ethics Committee, Regulatory Authority and staff involved in carrying out the Clinical Trial on a need to know basis) any Confidential Information disclosed to it by another Party (the “Disclosing Party”) without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the Charity shall be permitted to disclose Confidential Information disclosed to it to CRT and CRT shall be permitted to disclose Confidential Information disclosed to it to the Charity.

5.1.1

subject to no less onerous obligations than those contained in this Clause 5 to keep such information confidential; and

5.1.2

advised of its confidential nature.

5.2

The obligations of confidence referred to in Clause 5.1 shall not apply to any part of the Confidential Information which can be proved by evidence in writing:

5.2.1

was known to the recipient Party (the “Recipient Party”) before its disclosure by the Disclosing Party;

5.2.2

was available to the public before that date or was otherwise in the public domain;

5.2.3

is independently developed or generated by the Recipient Party in circumstances where it has not been derived directly or indirectly from the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; or

5.2.6

is required to be disclosed by: (i) law, (ii) a Regulatory Authority; or (iii) an order of any court, provided however, that in each such event the Recipient Party required to disclose the Confidential Information shall give prompt notice to the Disclosing Party of such requirement so that such Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy to the extent of such disclosure.

5.3

The obligations of the Parties under Clause 5.1 shall survive the expiry or termination of this Agreement for whatever reason for a period of ten (10) years from the date of such expiry or termination.

5.4

Each of the Parties agrees that the provisions of this Clause 5 are fair and reasonable and that money damages are not a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Clause 5 and therefore, in addition to all other remedies, all Parties shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for such breach.

5.5

Notwithstanding any confidentiality obligations assumed by the Parties hereunder, the Parties acknowledge: i) the importance of publications to the academic standing of the Charity and the Contributors; and ii) the capital raising, transactional, and licensing prospects of the Company; and iii) the reporting and disclosure obligations of the Company to its investors and to XOMA under the XOMA Licence. Accordingly, the Parties have agreed as follows as regards publication of Clinical Trial Results and Progress Reports:

5.5.1

The Charity shall use reasonable endeavours to publish, or procure the publication by the Contributors of, the Clinical Trial Results in a timely manner in accordance with generally accepted academic practice, whether during the course of or after completion of the Clinical Trial.

5.5.2

The Company may disclose the content of Progress Reports to XOMA only to the extent it is required to do so under the XOMA Licence, provided that the disclosure will exclude all information regarding clinical responses and shall be limited to only information regarding the clinical indication, anticipated timelines of the trial, the number of patients dosed, and such other information of a similar nature as may be reasonably required by the XOMA Licence.

5.5.3

The Company may disclose:

(a)

the content of Progress Reports to a third party in connection with capital raising, financing, transactional, and/or licensing activities or prospects for the benefit of the Company. Prior to making such disclosure, the Company shall give notice to the Charity, including details of the content of the proposed disclosure and the reason for wishing to make such disclosure, and shall inform the Charity of the identity of the third party in its notice unless it is prevented from doing so due to express confidentiality restrictions owed to, and requested by, the third party, in which case the Company shall state the main business area within which the third party operates. The Company may, without the Charity’s prior approval, disclose only the clinical indication, anticipated timelines of the trial, and the number of patients dosed, but shall obtain the Charity’s approval before proceeding with any other disclosure under this Clause 5.5.3(a);

(b)

the Final Report to the Company’s consultants and professional advisors, solely for the purpose of assisting in the evaluation of the results with a view to exercise of the Option and provided that no patient data shall be disclosed unless it has been cleansed; and

(c)

the content of Progress Reports to persons holding investments in the Company, solely for the purpose of a status update, such as periodic disclosure of recruitment numbers to investors in the Company by way of demonstration of progress in the Clinical Trial.

5.5.4

It is further provided that each disclosure of the content of Progress Reports by the Company under this Clause 5.5 shall be subject to the following conditions:

(a)

all recipients shall be informed in writing beforehand of the confidential nature of the information being disclosed and shall have agreed in writing to obligations of confidentiality in favour of the Company no less onerous than those contained in this Clause 5 (but without any right of further disclosure) to keep such information confidential; and

(b)

only the content of the documents containing the relevant information which has been processed into a suitable format may be disclosed but not copies of the actual documents themselves.

5.6

The Charity will include provisions in its contracts with the Contributor(s) that require such Contributor(s) to notify the Charity in advance of submission of any abstract, presentation or manuscript incorporating Clinical Trial Results that the Contributor(s) wish to publish or have published or to present or have presented.

Upon receipt of such notification from a Contributor or if the Charity wishes itself to publish or have published or to present or have presented an abstract, presentation or manuscript incorporating Clinical Trial Results the Charity shall so notify the Company and CRT and provide (in so far as it is able to do so in the case of a Contributor’s notification) in response to the Company’s and/or CRT’s reasonable request a copy or summary thereof at least seven (7) days prior to submission for publication of an abstract or presentation or at least thirty (30) days prior to submission for publication of a manuscript (or twenty one (21) days prior to submission for publication of a manuscript in the case of a Contributor’s notification). Any such copy or summary shall provide sufficient details to enable the Company and CRT to ascertain whether it contains Confidential Information of the Company or CRT respectively or whether Patent Rights or other proprietary protection should be sought.

5.8

The Company and CRT shall review and make any comments on such intended publication or presentation of an abstract to the Charity within seven (7) days and/or shall review and make any comments on such intended publication or presentation of a manuscript within thirty (30) days. The Company and/or CRT may request that:

5.8.1

Confidential Information of the Company (not including Clinical Trial Results nor information directly relating to the Investigational Medicinal Product) or Confidential Information of CRT (not including Clinical Trial Results) be removed from the proposed publication or presentation; and/or

5.8.2

any such publication or presentation be delayed if in the Company’s or CRT’s reasonable opinion it is necessary to delay publication or presentation in order to file a patent application or application for other proprietary protection in respect of any invention made in the course of the Clinical Trial. Any such delay will be kept to the minimum period practicable and will in no event extend beyond thirty (30) days from the date the proposed publication or presentation was provided to the Company.

In the event of a request pursuant to Clauses 5.8.1 or 5.8.2, the Company or CRT (as the case may be) shall provide the Charity with a written explanation of the reasons why it believes information should be removed or a delay is necessary. For the avoidance of doubt, any Patent Rights filed pursuant to Clause 5.8.2 shall be filed in CRT’s name unless any Company personnel are deemed inventors on any such filing, in which case such Patent Right shall be filed in both CRT’s and Company’s names. As used herein, inventorship shall be determined in accordance with English law.

5.9

The Charity and CRT shall be entitled to publish information in relation to the proposed Clinical Trial, including that it is or will be a trial conducted by the Clinical Development Partnerships initiative set up by the Charity and CRT, the pre-requisites for patient recruitment, a brief description of the Clinical Trial, including the name of the Company, the reference number and class of the Investigational Medicinal Product and the location(s) at which the trial is taking place.

Schedule 4

No Fault Compensation Scheme

Preamble

The Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry favours a simple and expeditious procedure in relation to the provision of compensation for injury caused by participation in clinical trials. The Association therefore recommends that a member company sponsoring a clinical trial should provide without legal commitment a written assurance to the investigator — and through him to the relevant research ethics committee — that the following Guidelines will be adhered to in the event of injury caused to a patient attributable to participation in the trial in question.

Basic Principles

1.1

Notwithstanding the absence of legal commitment, the company should pay compensation to patient-volunteers suffering bodily injury (including death) in accordance with these Guidelines.

1.2

Compensation should be paid when, on the balance of probabilities, the injury was attributable to the administration of a medicinal product under trial or any clinical intervention or procedure provided for by the protocol that would not have occurred but for the inclusion of the patient in the trial.

1.3

Compensation should be paid to a child injured in utero through the participation of the subject’s mother in a clinical trial as if the child were a patient-volunteer with the full benefit of these Guidelines.

1.4

Compensation should only be paid for the more serious injury of an enduring and disabling character (including exacerbation of an existing condition) and not for temporary pain or discomfort or less serious or curable complaints.

1.5

Where there is an adverse reaction to a medicinal product under trial and injury is caused by a procedure adopted to deal with that adverse reaction, compensation should be paid for such injury as if it were caused directly by the medicinal product under trial.

1.6

Neither the fact that the adverse reaction causing the injury was foreseeable or predictable, nor the fact that the patient has freely consented (whether in writing or otherwise) to participate in the trial should exclude a patient from consideration for compensation under these Guidelines, although compensation may be abated or excluded in the light of the factors described in paragraph 4.2 below.

1.7

For the avoidance of doubt, compensation should be paid regardless of whether the patient is able to prove that the company has been negligent in relation to research or development of the medicinal product under trial or that the product is defective and therefore, as the producer, the company is subject to strict liability in respect of injuries caused by it.

Type of Clinical Research Covered

2.1

These Guidelines apply to injury caused to patients involved in Phase II and Phase III trials, that is to say, patients under treatment and surveillance (usually in hospital) and suffering from the ailment which the medicinal product under trial is intended to treat but for which a product licence does not exist or does not authorise supply for administration under the conditions of the trial.

2.2

These Guidelines do not apply to injuries arising from studies in non-patient volunteers (Phase I), whether or not they are in hospital, for which separate Guidelines for compensation already exist.

2.3

These Guidelines do not apply to injury arising from clinical trials on marketed products (Phase IV) where a product licence exists authorising supply for administration under the conditions of the trial, except to the extent that the injury is caused to a patient as a direct result of procedures undertaken in accordance with the protocol (but not any product administered) to which the patient would not have been exposed had treatment been other than in the course of the trial.

2.4

These Guidelines do not apply to clinical trials which have not been initiated or directly sponsored by the company providing the product for research. Where trials of products are initiated independently by doctors under the appropriate Medicines Act 1968 exemptions, responsibility for the health and welfare of patients rests with the doctor alone (see also paragraph 5.2 below).

Limitations

3.1

No compensation should be paid for the failure of a medicinal product to have its intended effect or to provide any other benefit to the patient.

3.2

No compensation should be paid for injury caused by other licensed medicinal products administered to the patient for the purpose of comparison with the product under trial.

3.3

No compensation should be paid to patients receiving placebo in consideration of its failure to provide therapeutic benefit.

3.4

No compensation should be paid (or it should be abated as the case may be) to the extent that the injury has arisen:

3.4.1

through a significant departure from the agreed protocol;

3.4.2

through the wrongful act or default of a third party, including a doctor’s failure to deal adequately with an adverse reaction;

3.4.3

through contributory negligence by the patient.

Assessment of Compensation

4.1

The amount of compensation paid should be appropriate to the nature, severity and persistence of the injury and should in general terms be consistent with the quantum of damages commonly awarded for similar injuries by an English Court in cases where legal liability is admitted.

4.2

Compensation may be abated, or in certain circumstances excluded, in the light of the following factors (on which will depend the level of risk the patient can reasonably be expected to accept):

4.2.1

the seriousness of the disease being treated, the degree of probability that adverse reactions will occur and any warnings given;

4.2.2

the risks and benefits of established treatments relative to those known or suspected of the trial medicine.

This reflects the fact that flexibility is required given the particular patient’s circumstances. As an extreme example, there may be a patient suffering from a serious or life-threatening disease who is warned of a certain defined risk of adverse reaction. Participation in the trial is then based on an expectation that the benefit/risk ratio associated with participation may be better than that associated with alternative treatment. It is, therefore, reasonable that the patient accepts the high risk and should not expect compensation for the occurrence of the adverse reaction of which he or she was told.

4.3

In any case where the company concedes that a payment should be made to a patient but there exists a difference of opinion between company and patient as to the appropriate level of compensation, it is recommended that the company agrees to seek at its own cost (and make available to the patient) the opinion of a mutually acceptable independent expert, and that his opinion should be given substantial weight by the company in reaching its decision on the appropriate payment to be made.

Miscellaneous

5.1

Claims pursuant to the Guidelines should be made by the patient to the company, preferably via the investigator, setting Out details of the nature and background of the claim and, subject to the patient providing on request an authority for the company to review any medical records relevant to the claim, the company should consider the claim expeditiously.

5.2

The undertaking given by a company extends to injury arising (at whatever time) from all administrations, clinical interventions or procedures occurring during the course of the trial but not to treatment extended beyond the end of the trial at the instigation of the investigator. The use of unlicensed products beyond the trial period is wholly the responsibility of the treating doctor and in this regard attention is drawn to the advice provided to doctors in MAL 3Q2 concerning the desirability of doctors notifying their protection society of their use of unlicensed products.

5.3

The fact that a company has agreed to abide by these Guidelines in respect of a trial does not affect the right of a patient to pursue a legal remedy in respect of injury alleged to have been suffered as a result of participation. Nevertheless, patients will normally be asked to accept that any payment made under the Guidelines will be in full settlement of their claims.

5.4

A company sponsoring a trial should encourage the investigator to make clear to participating patients that the trial is being conducted subject to the ABPI Guidelines relating to compensation for injury arising in the course of clinical trials and have available copies of the Guidelines should they be requested.

CONSIDERATION

4.1

Subject to Clause 4.5, CRT and the Company shall share Net Revenue in the following proportions:

CRT [***];

Company [***].

4.2

In the event that any Gross Revenue is received by CRT as part of the consideration for the grant of rights which include rights other than those in respect of Company Intellectual Property, CRT shall apportion the consideration as between on the one hand, the rights granted in respect of the Company Intellectual Property and, on the other, any other rights granted, in such manner as is fair and reasonable.

4.3

If CRT receives any non-monetary consideration in respect of the commercial exploitation of the Company Intellectual Property (such as company stocks and shares), such non-monetary consideration shall not form Gross Revenue until CRT has received cash proceeds from the disposal or other realisation of such consideration. CRT shall not determine the timing of and price for any realisation of the Company’s share of non-monetary consideration without first having notified and consulted the Company, but shall otherwise seek to realise such non-monetary consideration at the earliest opportunity that is consistent with securing a reasonable return. For the avoidance of doubt, any dividend or similar monetary consideration received in respect of such non-monetary consideration shall form Gross Revenue.

4.4

Subject to Clause 4.5, CRT and the Company shall share any Royalties received by CRT in each calendar quarter of the Royalty Term in the following proportions:

[***] = Confidential Information has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

provided that under no circumstance other than that set out in Clause 4.5 shall CRT pay the Company under this Clause 4.4 [***] in each such calendar quarter. CRT shall include in any and all sub-licenses granted under this Agreement obligations on its sub-licensee(s) to make timely payments (on not less than a quarterly basis) of sufficient royalties to CRT to ensure that CRT can meet its obligations under this Clause 4.4.

In this Clause 4.4, “Royalty Term” means a period, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product, country-by-country basis, beginning on the Effective Date and ending upon the later to occur of:

4.4.1

the expiry of any Data Exclusivity Period in respect of the data submitted for the NDA for such Licensed Product in such country;

4.4.2

the expiry of ten (10) years from the First Commercial Sale; and

4.4.3

the date when unauthorised manufacture, sale or use of the Licensed Product would no longer infringe a valid claim of the Company Patent Rights in the country of sale or manufacture.

4.5

Without restricting or limiting any of the Charity’s or CRT’s rights under the CTOA, CRT may deduct as a first charge and set off from sums due to the Company under this Clause 4 any and all sums of any nature that are due and payable, but not yet paid, by the Company to CRT or the Charity under or in connection with the CTOA (including, without limitation, any sums due pursuant to Clause 9.2 or 12.2 of the CTOA).

PAYMENT AND STATEMENT

5.1

All payments due to the Company under this Agreement shall be made in United States Dollars in cleared funds to such bank account as Company may notify to CRT from time to time.

5.2

CRT shall pay to Company:

5.2.1

payments due under Clause 4.1, Clause 4.2, and Clause 4.3 within thirty (30) days of CRT receiving the revenue; and

5.2.2

the payments due pursuant to Clause 4.4 Quarterly within thirty (30) days of the end of each Quarter in which the corresponding Royalties are received by CRT.

5.3

Where Licensed Products are sold or Sub-Licence Revenue or Royalties are received by CRT (or a Sub-Licensee) in a currency other than United States Dollars, the rate of exchange to be used for converting such other currency into United States Dollars shall be the relevant mid-spot rate for the currency quoted by the Financial Times on the last day of the Quarter to which they relate.

5.4

All costs of transmission and currency conversion shall be borne by CRT.

5.5

All payments to the Company under this Agreement are expressed to be exclusive of value added tax howsoever arising, and CRT shall pay to the Company in addition to those payments or, if earlier, on receipt of a tax invoice or invoices from the Company, all value added tax for which the Company is liable to account in relation to any supply made or deemed to be made for value added tax purposes pursuant to this Agreement.

(a) the Company fails to fully discharge its obligations under Clause 9.2 of the CTOA. Subject to Clause 13 of the CTOA, CRT or the Charity, but not both, shall have the right to receive from the Escrow Agent an amount out of the Escrow Fund equal to the amount the Company has failed to cover to fully discharge its obligations under Clause 9.2 of the CTOA. Such right shall include the right of the Charity or CRT to make Claims on behalf of Charity Indemnitees, and receive from the Escrow Agent an amount out of the Escrow Fund equal to the amount payable by the Company to Charity Indemnitees, under the CTOA; and

(b) the Company fails to pay amounts owed to the Charity under Clause 12.2.2 of the CTOA upon termination of the CTOA by CRT or the Charity pursuant to Clause 11.2 or 11.4. Subject to Clause 13 of the CTOA, CRT or the Charity, but not both, shall have the right to receive from the Escrow Agent an amount out of the Escrow Fund equal to the amount the Company owes the Charity.

The Charity’s and CRT’s rights under this Section 5.1 are subject to Section 5.4.

5.2 Objections to Claims.

(a) At the time of delivery of a written notice of a Claim to the Escrow Agent and the Company by CRT or the Charity, and for a period of twenty (20) days after such delivery is made to the Company, the Escrow Agent shall make no delivery to CRT, the Charity, or the Charity Indemnitees of any amount from the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof unless the Escrow Agent shall have received written authorization from the Company to make such delivery. After the expiration of such twenty (20) day period, the Escrow Agent shall pay and deliver funds (in US dollars) claimed by the Charity or CRT from the Escrow Fund to an account designated by the Charity or CRT; provided, however, that no such payment or delivery may be made if the Company shall object in a written statement to the Claim made in the written notice, and such statement shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent, the Charity and CRT prior to the expiration of such twenty (20) day period.

(b) The Company shall furnish CRT and the Charity with detailed written reason(s) for its objection at the same time as it delivers its objection to any Claim.

(c) The Company shall not unreasonably object to any Claim made to the Escrow Agent by CRT or the Charity, including by making any objection that has no reasonable prospect of being upheld if referred to arbitration.

5.3 Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration.

(a) In case the Company shall object in writing to any Claim or Claims made in any written notice by CRT or the Charity, the Company, CRT, and the Charity shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such Claims. If the Company, CRT, and the Charity should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by the parties and shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and distribute funds or withhold payments from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms thereof.

(b) If no such agreement can be reached within twenty (20) business days after delivery of the Company’s written objection to CRT or the Charity’s Claim in the written notice notwithstanding good faith negotiation, any of the Company, CRT or the Charity may demand arbitration of the matter. The Company, CRT, or the Charity shall, within twenty (20) days of the demand, mutually select one independent arbitrator with at least five (5) years relevant experience; provided, however, that if the Company, CRT, and the Charity cannot agree upon one arbitrator during such twenty (20) day period, the Company, on the one hand, and CRT and the Charity, on the other, shall, within five (5) days following such twenty (20) day period, each select one arbitrator and the two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator, each of which arbitrators shall be independent and have at least five (5) years relevant experience. The arbitrator(s) shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery to the extent possible while allowing the parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrators, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrator(s) shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys’ fees and costs, should the arbitrator(s) determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator (or, in the case of three arbitrators, a majority of the three arbitrators) as to the validity and amount of any Claim in such written notice shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement, and notwithstanding anything in Section 5.2 hereof, the Escrow Agent shall act in accordance with such decision and make or withhold payments out of the Escrow Fund in accordance therewith. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall also have the authority to award additional sums to the Charity and CRT, and reimbursement of attorneys’ fees and costs, should the arbitrator(s) determine that the objection had no reasonable prospect of being upheld.

(c) Judgement upon any award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any such arbitration shall be held in London, England, under the International Arbitration Rules of the International Centre for Dispute Resolution then in effect.

(d) Each party shall bear its own fees and costs in connection with the arbitration. The fees, costs and expenses of the arbitrator(s), if any, shall be apportioned between the Company, on the one hand, and CRT and the Charity, on the other, based upon the inverse proportion of the amount of disputed items resolved in favor of such party (i.e., so that the prevailing party bears a lesser amount of such fees and expenses).

5.4 Limit. The maximum aggregate amount that the Charity and CRT may claim, and that is payable to them, from the Escrow Account to satisfy any and all Claims made under this Agreement shall be eight hundred thousand US dollars ($800,000 USD). The rights granted under this Agreement are in addition to, and not instead of, any rights of the Charity and CRT under or in connection with the CTOA, whether under contract, statute or tort. Nothing in this Agreement shall, or is intended to, limit such rights, including where sums paid under this Agreement do not fully discharge the Company’s liabilities.

6. Limitation on Escrow Agent’s Liability. The Escrow Agent’s responsibilities and liabilities shall be limited as follows:

6.1 The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for or be required to enforce any of the terms or conditions of the CTOA or any other agreement between the parties thereto. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for the performance by the Company, CRT, or the Charity of their respective obligations under the CTOA or this Agreement, nor shall the Escrow Agent be responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for the failure of any party to the CTOA to honor any of the provisions of the CTOA.

6.2 The duties and obligations of the Escrow Agent shall be limited to and determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement and the CTOA, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall neither be responsible for, nor chargeable with, knowledge of the terms and conditions of any other agreement, instrument or document other than this Escrow Agreement or the CTOA, whether or not a copy and/or original of such agreement is held by Escrow Agent; and, the Escrow Agent shall have no duty to know or inquire as to the performance or nonperformance of any provision of any such agreement, instrument or document. This Escrow Agreement sets forth all matters pertinent to the escrow contemplated hereunder, and no additional obligations of the Escrow Agent shall be inferred from the terms of this Escrow Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document. All references in this Escrow Agreement to any other agreement (other than the CTOA) are for the convenience of the parties other than the Escrow Agent, and the Escrow Agent has no duties or obligations with respect thereto.

6.3 The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon and shall be protected in acting in reliance upon any instruction, notice, information, certificate, instrument or other document which is submitted to it in connection with its duties under, and in accordance with, this Agreement and which the Escrow Agent in good faith believes to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability with respect to the form, execution, validity or authenticity thereof.

6.4 The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to consult, at its own cost, with independent counsel of its own selection and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection to the Escrow Agent in respect of any action taken or omitted by the Escrow Agent hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel, unless caused by or arising from its own fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

6.5 The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any diminution in value of any assets held under this agreement which may result from any investments or reinvestments made in accordance with any provision which may be contained in this agreement.

6.6 The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted under this Agreement while acting in good faith, unless caused by or arising from its own fraud, negligence or misconduct.

6.7 The Escrow Agent shall have the right to perform any of its duties hereunder through custodians or nominees, and shall be liable for all acts and omissions of such custodians or nominees as if they were acts or omissions of the Escrow Agent.

6.8 Any banking association or corporation into which the Escrow Agent may be merged, converted or with which the Escrow Agent may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Escrow Agent shall be a party, or any banking association or corporation to which all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Escrow Agent shall be transferred, shall succeed to all of the Escrow Agent’s rights, obligations and immunities hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

6.9 The Escrow Agent shall have the right at any time to resign for any reason and be discharged of its duties as Escrow Agent hereunder by giving written notice of its resignation to the parties hereto at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the date specified for such resignation to take effect. In addition, the Company, the Charity and CRT may remove the Escrow Agent as escrow agent at any time with or without cause, by an instrument given to the Escrow Agent, which instrument shall be signed by each of the Company, the Charity and CRT and shall designate the effective date of such removal. In the event of any such resignation or removal, a successor escrow agent which, unless the Company, CRT, and the Charity otherwise agree in writing, shall be a bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States of America or of the State of Illinois shall be appointed by Company with the approval of CRT and the Charity, which approval shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned, or withheld. Any such successor escrow agent shall deliver to Company, CRT and the Charity a written instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon it shall succeed to all the rights and duties of the Escrow Agent hereunder and shall be entitled to receive the Escrow Fund. All responsibilities of the Escrow Agent hereunder shall cease and terminate on the effective date of its resignation or removal and its sole responsibility thereafter shall be to hold the Escrow Fund for a period of thirty (30) calendar days following the effective date of resignation or removal, at which time:

(1) if a successor Escrow Agent shall have been appointed and written notice thereof shall have been given to the resigning or removed Escrow Agent by parties hereto and the successor Escrow Agent, then the resigning Escrow Agent shall deliver the remaining Escrow Fund to the successor Escrow Agent; or

10. Specific Performance. Each party agrees that irreparable harm, for which there may be no adequate remedy at law and for which the ascertainment of damages would be difficult, would occur in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. Each party accordingly agrees that the other parties shall be entitled to specifically enforce this Agreement and to obtain an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, in each instance without being required to post bond or other security and in addition to, and without having to prove the adequacy of, other remedies at law.

12. Entire Agreement.

13. Amendment; Waiver; Requirement of Writing. This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded, rescinded, or canceled only by a written instrument executed by the Company, CRT, the Charity, and the Escrow Agent. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party hereto entitled to the benefit thereof, and any such term or condition may be modified at any time by an agreement in writing executed by each of the parties hereto entitled to the benefit thereof.

This Agreement and the rights and obligations of each party hereunder or thereunder shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. None of the Company, CRT or the Charity shall assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of each other, which consent may not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld. Assignment by Escrow Agent shall be governed by Section 6 hereof.

19. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect, and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

20. Several Liability. The obligations and liabilities of each party under this Agreement are several, not joint.
