Form and Registration (a) Each Class of Public Certificates shall be represented by a single, global certificate in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto, which shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar or an agent of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository. The aggregate Certificate Balance of a Global Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided. (b) Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued in respect of a Class of Global Certificates, beneficial ownership interests in such Certificates will be maintained and transferred on the book-entry records of the Depository and Depository Participants, and all references to actions by Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to action taken by the Depository upon instructions received from the related registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures and, except as otherwise set forth herein, all references herein to payments, notices, reports and statements to Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to payments, notices, reports and statements to the Depository or its nominee as the registered Holder thereof, for distribution to the related registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures. (c) No transfer of any Private Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such registration or qualification. If a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act, and under the applicable state securities laws, then: (i) The Certificates of each Class of the Private Certificates (other than the Risk Retention Certificates, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Act shall initially be represented by a temporary global certificate in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto (each a “Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate”), which shall be deposited on the Closing Date on behalf of the purchasers of the Private Certificates represented thereby with the Certificate Registrar, at its principal trust office, as custodian, for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depository for the account of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear and/or Clearstream. Prior to the expiration of the 40-day period commencing on the later of the commencement of the offering and the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), beneficial interests in each Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate may be exchanged for an interest in the related permanent global certificate of the same Class of Private Certificates (a “Regulation S Global Certificate”) in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.03(f) of this Agreement. During the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate shall only be made upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar by Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, of a Non-U.S. Beneficial Ownership Certification. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of any beneficial interests in a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate shall not be made to the holders of such beneficial interests unless exchange for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate of the same Class is improperly withheld or refused. The aggregate Certificate Balance of a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or a Regulation S Global Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided. On the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, and the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar the Regulation S Global Certificates, which shall be held by the Certificate Registrar for purposes of effecting the exchanges contemplated by the preceding paragraph. Citibank, N.A. is hereby initially appointed the Authenticating Agent with the power to act, on the Trustee’s behalf, in the authentication and delivery of the Certificates in connection with transfers and exchanges as herein provided. If Citibank, N.A. is removed as Certificate Administrator, then Citibank, N.A. shall be terminated as Authenticating Agent. If the Authenticating Agent is terminated, the Certificate Administrator (or, if the same entity is acting as both the Authenticating Agent and the Certificate Administrator and such entity is being removed from both capacities, a successor Certificate Administrator) shall appoint a successor authenticating agent, which may be the Certificate Administrator or an Affiliate thereof, in accordance with Section 5.09 of this Agreement. (ii) The Certificates of each Class of Private Certificates (other than the Class 805H Certificates, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates) offered and sold to Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance on Rule 144A shall be represented by a single, global certificate in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto (each, a “Rule 144A Global Certificate”), which shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar or an agent of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository. The aggregate Certificate Balance of a Rule 144A Global Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided. (iii) The Certificates of each Class of Private Certificates offered and sold in the United States to investors that are Institutional Accredited Investors that are not Qualified Institutional Buyers, the Class 805H Certificates (during the 805H Transfer Restriction Period), the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates (collectively, the “Non-Book Entry Certificates”) shall be in the form of Definitive Certificates, in each case substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto, and shall be registered in the name of such investors or their nominees by the Certificate Registrar who shall deliver the certificates for such Non-Book Entry Certificates to the respective beneficial owners or owners. (d) Owners of beneficial interests in Global Certificates of any Class shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Certificates unless: (i) the Depository advises the Certificate Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with respect to the Global Certificates of such Class or ceases to be a Clearing Agency, and the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor are unable to locate a qualified successor within 90 days of such notice; (ii) the Trustee has instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding to enforce the rights of the Holders of such Class and the Trustee has been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the Trustee to obtain possession of the Certificates of such Class; or (iii) in the case of a Private Certificate, all of the applicable requirements of Section 5.03 of this Agreement are satisfied; provided, however, that under no circumstances will certificated Private Certificates be issued to beneficial owners of a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate. Upon notice of the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (i) or (ii) above with respect to any Certificates of a Class that are in the form of Global Certificates and upon surrender by the Depository of any Global Certificate of such Class and receipt from the Depository of instructions for reregistration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue Certificates of such Class in the form of Definitive Certificates (bearing, in the case of a Definitive Certificate issued for a Rule 144A Global Certificate, the same legends regarding transfer restrictions borne by such Global Certificate), and thereafter the Certificate Registrar shall recognize the holders of such Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders under this Agreement. (e) If any Certificate Owner wishes to transfer its interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate to an Institutional Accredited Investor that is not a Qualified Institutional Buyer, or wishes to transfer its interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate to a “U.S. person” (as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) under the Securities Act) that is an Institutional Accredited Investor but not a Qualified Institutional Buyer, then the transferee shall take delivery in the form of a Non-Book Entry Certificate, subject to the restrictions on the transfer of such Non-Book Entry Certificate in Section 5.03(h) of this Agreement. No such transfer shall be made and the Certificate Registrar shall not register any such transfer unless such transfer complies with the provisions of Section 5.03(h) of this Agreement applicable to transfers of Non-Book Entry Certificates. Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate for a Non-Book Entry Certificate, as provided herein, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse on the schedule affixed to the related Global Certificate (or on a continuation of such schedule affixed to such Global Certificate and made a part thereof) an appropriate notation evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and a decrease in the denomination of such Global Certificate equal to the denomination of such Non-Book Entry Certificate issued in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof. (f) During the 805H Transfer Restriction Period, any Class 805H Certificate shall only be held as a Definitive Certificate in the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account by the Certificate Administrator (and the 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Retaining Third Party Purchaser’s interest shall be tracked in the form of an entry in the Certificate Administrator’s trust accounting system under the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account), for the benefit of the Holder of the related Certificate. The Certificate Administrator shall hold each Certificate evidencing the Class 805H Certificate in safekeeping and shall release the same only upon receipt of a written direction signed by each of the 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Retaining Sponsor and the Holder of such Certificate, and in accordance with any authentication procedures as may be utilized by the Certificate Administrator and in accordance with this Agreement. There shall be, and hereby is, established by the Certificate Administrator an account which will be designated the “Retained Interest Safekeeping Account” and into which each the Class 805H Certificate shall be held and which shall be governed by and subject to this Agreement. In addition, on and after the date hereof, the Certificate Administrator may establish any number of subaccounts to the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account for 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Retaining Third Party Purchaser. Each Class 805H Certificate to be delivered in physical form to the Certificate Administrator shall be delivered as set forth herein. Upon receipt by the Certificate Administrator of any Class 805H Certificate in connection with the initial issuance thereof and, for so long as the Class 805H Certificates are held in the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Agreement, upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Article V of any Class 805H Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the applicable Holder of the Class 805H Certificate a receipt in the form set forth in Exhibit MM. No amounts distributable with respect to any Class 805H Certificate shall be remitted to the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account, but instead shall be remitted directly to the 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Retaining Third Party Purchaser in accordance with written instructions provided separately on the Closing Date (and any updates to such written instructions provided from time to time) by the 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Retaining Third Party Purchaser to the Certificate Administrator. Under no circumstances by virtue of safekeeping any Class 805H Certificate shall the Certificate Administrator be obligated to bring legal action or institute proceedings against any Person on behalf of the 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Retaining Third Party Purchaser. During the 805H Transfer Restriction Period and for such longer time as the 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Retaining Third Party Purchaser may request, the Certificate Administrator shall hold each Class 805H Certificate at the below location, or any other location; provided the Certificate Administrator has given notice to the Depositor, the Retaining Sponsor and each Retaining Party of such new location: Citibank, N.A. Vault Operations Level B 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 The Certificate Administrator shall make available to the 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Retaining Third Party Purchaser its account information as mutually agreed upon by the Certificate Administrator and the 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Retaining Third Party Purchaser, and in accordance with the Certificate Administrator’s policies and procedures. Any transfer of a Class 805H Certificate shall be subject to this Article V. During the 805H Transfer Restriction Period, unless the 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Retaining Sponsor and the Depositor otherwise consent in writing, the Certificate Administrator shall not permit any Person to copy (other than for internal purposes), and shall not itself provide to any Person copies of, any executed Class 805H Certificate held by it in the Retained Interest Safekeeping Account. (g) To the extent that the aggregate value and/or Certificate Balance of the RR Interest is in excess of the amount or percentage of risk retention required pursuant to Regulation RR, such excess portion of the RR Interest shall nevertheless be deemed to be subject to the requirements of Regulation RR and any Risk Retention Certificate evidencing such excess portion of the RR Interest shall be subject to all of the provisions in this Agreement applicable to the RR Interest including, without limitation, the provisions of this Article V.

Registration on Form S-3 (a) If any Holder or Holders of at least twenty percent (20%) of the then outstanding Registrable Securities or Bayer or any assignee thereof in accordance with the Warrant Agreement requests that the Company file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form to Form S-3) for a public offering of shares of the Registrable Securities, the reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the public of which, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, would exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), and the Company is a registrant entitled to use Form S-3 to register the Registrable Securities for such an offering, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be registered for the offering on such form. The Company will (i) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all other Holders, and (ii) as soon as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following the request, use its commercially reasonable best efforts to effect such registration (including, without limitation, the execution of an undertaking to file post-effective amendments, appropriate qualification under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities Act and any other governmental requirements or regulations) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request received by the Company within twenty (20) days after receipt of written notice from the Company.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to this Subsection 2.7: (i) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act; (ii) in a given twelve month period, after the Company has effected two (2) such registrations pursuant to subparagraph 2.7(a); or (iii) if the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its stockholders for registration statements to be filed in the near future, then the Company’s obligation to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement shall be deferred for up to two periods of sixty (60) days each, such sixty (60) day periods not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days from the receipt of the request to file such registration by such Holder or Holders. The Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any twelve-month period.
Registration, etc Each Pledgor agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, if for any reason the Collateral Agent desires to sell any of the Pledged Securities of the Borrower at a public sale, it will, at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, use its best efforts to take or to cause the issuer of such Pledged Securities to take such action and prepare, distribute and/or file such documents, as are required or advisable in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Collateral Agent to permit the public sale of such Pledged Securities.

Each Pledgor further agrees, upon such written request referred to above, to use its best efforts to qualify, file or register, or cause the issuer of such Pledged Securities to qualify, file or register, any of the Pledged Securities under the Blue Sky or other securities laws of such states as may be requested by the Collateral Agent and keep effective, or cause to be kept effective, all such qualifications, filings or registrations. Each Pledgor will bear all costs and expenses of carrying out its obligations under this Section 12.
