Update Report and/or to verify the accuracy of the payments due or paid hereunder for [**].  All information contained in any Update Report, or conveyed to SRS or its independent accounting firm in any meeting or other communication regarding an Update Report, shall be subject to a confidentiality agreement between the Company and SRS. The results of each review, if any, shall be binding on SRS and the Company, absent manifest error.  If such results show any underpayment, the Company will remit to the Payment Agent for further distribution to the Executing Rightsholders, within [**] after receipt of such report, (x) the amount of such underpayment and (y) if such underpayment exceeds [**] percent ([**]%) of the total amount owed for the period then being reviewed, the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in conducting such review. If such report shows any overpayment, such overpayment will be deducted from future payments owed by the Company to the Executing Rightsholders under this Agreement.

(b)EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.  EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (II) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 6.7(b).
6.8Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstances is held invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the remainder hereof, and the application of such provision to such Person or circumstances in any other jurisdiction, shall not be affected thereby, and to this end the provisions of this Agreement shall be severable.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
6.9Amendment; Waiver.  This Agreement may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof may be waived, at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of (a) the Company, and (b) a majority in interest of the Executing Rightsholders.  No waiver by any Party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver.  No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
6.10Absence of Third Party Beneficiary Rights.  No provision of this Agreement is intended, nor will be interpreted, to provide or to create any third party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any client, customer, Affiliate, stockholder, officer, director, manager, employee or partner of any Party or any other Person, other than the Released Parties.

6.11 Further Representations.  Each Party acknowledges and represents that it has been or has had the opportunity to be represented by its own legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, with the opportunity to seek advice as to its legal rights from such counsel.  Each Party further represents that it is being independently advised as to the tax consequences of the transactions contemplated hereby and is not relying on any representation or statements made by any other Party as to such tax consequences.
6.12Release of Claims.  
(a)Effective as of the Closing, each Executing Rightsholder, on behalf of himself, herself or itself and on behalf of his, her or its Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns, as applicable, by its execution and delivery of this Agreement, generally, irrevocably, unconditionally and completely releases, acquits and forever discharges SRS, each member of SRS’s advisory committee appointed in connection with the Merger, the Company and each of their respective current and former Affiliates and its and their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, advisors, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, from any and all claims, rights, causes of action, protests, suits, disputes, orders, obligations, debts, demands, proceedings, contracts, agreements, promises, liabilities, losses, controversies, costs, expenses, fees (including attorneys’ fees), or damages of every type, kind, nature, description or character, arising by any means, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, accrued or not accrued, foreseen or unforeseen, or mature or unmatured, related or with respect to, in connection with, or arising out of, directly or indirectly, the Net Sales Payment Rights (including under any applicable provisions solely to the extent with respect thereto under the Merger Agreement), whether such Net Sales Payment Rights relate to any Net Sales Payments payable before or after the date hereof (collectively, but subject to the immediately following proviso, “Released Claims”); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.12 shall constitute a waiver or release of any rights of such Executing Rightsholder (i) under this Agreement, including rights to full and complete payment for the Upfront Consideration and the Additional Milestone Payments (if and when payable) or (ii) under the Merger Agreement, other than such Executing Rightsholder’s Net Sales Payment Right pursuant to Section 1.12(b) of the Merger Agreement.
(b)Each Executing Rightsholder is aware that such Executing Rightsholder may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different from those such Executing Rightsholder now knows or believes to exist, which if such Executing Rightsholder had known, may have affected such Executing Rightsholder’s decision to execute this Agreement; however, such Executing Rightsholder hereby settles and releases all of the Released Claims which such Executing Rightsholder had, has or may have against the Released Parties including arising out of such additional or different facts.
(c)Such Executing Rightsholder represents and agrees that such Executing Rightsholder (i) has not assigned or transferred, or purported to have assigned or transferred, to any Person any Released Claims, (ii) has not filed with any Governmental Body or any other Person any action, claim, suit or other proceeding against any of the Released Parties involving any Released Claims and (iii) shall not take any of the actions set forth in the immediately preceding clauses (i)-(ii) at any time hereafter.
(d)Each Executing Rightsholder represents and acknowledges (i) that such Executing Rightsholder has read this Section 6.12 and has been given an opportunity to ask questions of the Company's representatives and (ii) that in signing this release each such Executing Rightsholder does not rely, and has not relied, on any representation or statement not set forth in this Agreement made by any representative of the Company or anyone else with regard to the subject matter, basis or effect of this release or otherwise.
(e)Each of the Released Parties is an express third party beneficiary of this Section 6.12 and shall have the right to enforce or pursue remedies under the provisions hereof.

12


(f)Each Executing Rightsholder, on behalf of himself, herself or itself, as applicable, hereby expressly waives any and all provisions, rights and benefits conferred by §1542 of the California Civil Code (or any similar, comparable or equivalent provision or law of any applicable jurisdiction) which section provides:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

6.13Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Executing Rightsholders and the Company made in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.
6.14Amendment of Merger Agreement.  
(a)In accordance with Section 10.1 of the Merger Agreement, each of SRS and the Company agree that the restrictions on transfer of the rights to receive any amounts with respect to Contingent Payments set forth in Section 1.12(i) of the Merger Agreement shall not apply to the cancellation and forfeiture of the Net Sales Payment Rights pursuant to this Agreement.
(b)SRS hereby agrees to make such adjustments and accommodations in connection with performing its obligations and duties under the Merger Agreement as necessary to account for the cancellation and forfeiture of the Net Sales Payment Rights pursuant to this Agreement, including in connection with the preparation of, and inclusion of any amounts on, any Contingent Payment Schedule with respect to the future payment of any Net Sales Payments to Current Rightsholders that have not cancelled and forfeited their Net Sales Payment Rights pursuant to this Agreement.
(c)Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Merger Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and the rights and obligations of the parties to the Merger Agreement shall continue in effect without any amendment, waiver or modification thereof.
