Medilogistics hereby appoints the Rights Agent to act as rights agent for Medilogistics in accordance with the express terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and the Rights Agent hereby accepts such appointment.


Section 2.2 

Nontransferable.  CVRs may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or disposed of in any other manner, in whole or in part, other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer.  Any attempted sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, encumbrance or disposition of CVRs, in whole or in part, in violation of this Section 2.2 shall be void ab initio and of no effect.

Section 2.3 

No Certificate; Registration; Registration of Transfer; Change of Address.


(a) 

CVRs shall not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument.


(b) 

The Rights Agent shall keep a register (the “CVR Register”) for the purposes of (i) identifying the Holders of CVRs and (ii) registering CVRs and Permitted Transfers thereof.


(c) 

Without limiting 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 other requested documentation in form reasonably satisfactory to the Rights Agent, duly executed by the registered Holder or Holders thereof, or by the duly appointed legal representative, personal representative or survivor of such Holder or Holders, setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances relating to the transfer demonstrating that such proposed transfer is a Permitted Transfer.  Upon receipt of such written notice, the Rights Agent shall notify Medilogistics that it has received such written notice.  Upon receipt of such notice from the Rights Agent, Medilogistics shall in good faith reasonably determine whether the transfer is a Permitted Transfer and otherwise complies with the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, and if Medilogistics so reasonably determines that such transfer does so comply, Medilogistics shall instruct the Rights Agent in writing to register the transfer of the applicable CVRs in the CVR Register.  All duly transferred CVRs registered in the CVR Register shall be the valid obligations of Medilogistics, evidencing the same right, and entitling 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 in accordance with this Agreement.  Any transfer or assignment of CVRs shall be without charge (other than the cost of any transfer tax or similar tax or charge) to the applicable Holder.  Medilogistics and the Rights Agent may require the Holder proposing to make a Permitted Transfer to pay a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or charge that is imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer.


(d) 

A Holder may make a written request to Medilogistics to change such Holder’s address of record in the CVR Register.  Such written request must be duly executed by such Holder.  Upon receipt of such written request, Medilogistics shall promptly record the change of address in the CVR Register.


Section 2.4 

Payment on CVRs.


(a) 

Procedure.  If DS Healthcare receives Litigation Proceeds, Medilogistics shall cause to be delivered to the Rights Agent as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event not more than twenty (20) business days after the day that DS Healthcare receives the Litigation Proceeds a notice (the “CVR Notice”) that (i) states the amount of Litigation Proceeds received, (ii) indicates that the Holders are entitled to receive their applicable CVR Payment Amount, and (iii) states the amount of the applicable CVR Payment Amount.  The Rights Agent shall promptly (and in no event later than five (5) business days after receipt thereof by the Rights Agent) send to each Holder at its address set forth in the CVR Register a copy of the CVR Notice.  Medilogistics shall then promptly establish a CVR payment date (the “CVR Payment Date”) with respect to such CVR Payment Amount that is within 15 days following the date of delivery of the CVR Notice.


(b) 

Payments to Holders.  With respect to any CVR payment that is payable pursuant to this Agreement, the Rights Agent shall pay the applicable amount to each of the Holders (the amount to which each Holder is entitled to receive will be based on the number of CVRs held by such Holder as reflected on the CVR Register) by (i) check mailed to the address of each Holder as reflected on the CVR Register as of the close of business on the last business day prior to the CVR Payment Date or (ii) with respect to Holders that are due amounts equal to or in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate who have provided Medilogistics with wire transfer instructions in writing, the Rights Agent will make payments by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in the written instructions of Medilogistics.  Medilogistics shall cause the Rights Agent, on behalf of and at the expense of Medilogistics to mail with (or, in the case of payments made to Holders who have provided Medilogistics with wire instructions, at the same time as) each payment made a copy of the CVR Notice to which such payment relates.


(c) 

Withholdings.  Medilogistics, DS Healthcare, and the Rights Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted or withheld, from any amounts 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 Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any provision of United States state or local tax law (“Taxes”).  To the extent that Taxes are so withheld and paid over to or deposited with the relevant governmental entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Holder in respect of which such deduction, withholding and payment was made; provided that if any such Taxes are subsequently refunded or otherwise credited to Medilogistics or DS Healthcare, then such amounts shall be subsequently distributed pursuant to this Agreement promptly after refund or credit.  Medilogistics, DS Healthcare and the Rights Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to request any necessary Tax forms, including a

(d) 

Tax Treatment of Payments.  The parties intend to treat all payments made under this Agreement as an adjustment to the consideration with respect to the CVRs, unless otherwise required by applicable law.


(e) 

Investment of Funds.  The Rights Agent shall hold any cash held by it for payment to the Holders in a custodial account, non-interest bearing account or otherwise, as reasonably directed by Medilogistics in writing.  Any interest and other income resulting from such investment shall be treated as earned by Medilogistics for income tax purposes and shall promptly be paid to Medilogistics or an affiliate of Medilogistics, as directed by Medilogistics (subject to any applicable tax withholding).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Medilogistics shall be responsible for providing the Rights Agent with sufficient funds to satisfy its payment obligations to Holders.


(f) 

Treatment of Undistributed Funds.  Any cash that remains undistributed to the Holders of CVRs six (6) months after such payment is due in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be delivered to Medilogistics within two (2) business days following expiration of such six (6) month period, and shall be held in trust by Medilogistics in a segregated account for the benefit of the Holders.  Any Holders of CVRs who have not theretofore received cash with respect to such CVRs shall thereafter look only to Medilogistics for payment of their claim therefor.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any portion of the cash provided by Medilogistics to the Rights Agent that remains unclaimed after termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.13 (or such earlier date immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any governmental entity) shall, to the extent permitted by law, become the property of Medilogistics free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.


(g) 

The Rights Agent shall keep copies of this Agreement available for inspection by the Holders during normal business hours at its office.  Medilogistics shall supply the Rights Agent from time to time with such numbers of copies of this Agreement as the Rights Agent may request.

(a) 

CVRs shall not have any voting or dividend rights, and, except as set forth in this Agreement, interest shall not accrue on any amounts payable in respect of CVRs.


(b) 

CVRs shall not represent any equity or ownership interest in Medilogistics, or any of its respective affiliates.


Section 2.6 

Ability to Abandon CVRs.  A Holder may at any time, at such Holder’s option, abandon all of such Holder’s remaining rights in a CVR by transferring such CVR to Medilogistics without consideration therefor.  Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Medilogistics or any of its affiliates from offering to acquire or acquiring any CVRs for consideration from the Holders, in private transactions or otherwise, in its sole discretion.  Any CVRs acquired by Medilogistics or any of its affiliates shall be automatically deemed extinguished and no longer outstanding for purposes of Article V and Section 6.4.
