(e)   Unless extended pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement , the Offer shall remain open until midnight, New York City time, at the end of the 20th business day (for purposes of this Section 2.1(e), calculated in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) following the commencement of the Offer (the “Initial Expiration Date”) or, if the period of time for which the Offer is open shall have been extended pursuant to, and in accordance with, this Agreement or as may be required by applicable Law, the time and date to which the Offer has been so extended (the Initial Expiration Date or such later time and date to which the Offer has been extended in accordance with this Agreement, the “Expiration Date”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if on the then-effective Expiration Date, the Minimum Condition has not been satisfied or any of the other Offer Conditions have not been satisfied or waived by Parent or Merger Sub if permitted hereunder, then Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, extend the Offer on one or more occasions in consecutive increments of not more than 10 Business Days each (the length of such period to be determined by Parent and Merger Sub in their discretion), or for such longer period as the parties may agree

14

in order to permit the satisfaction of such Offer Conditions (subject to the right of Parent or Merger Sub to waive any Offer Conditions, other than the Minimum Condition), and (ii) Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, extend the Offer for the minimum period required by applicable Law, interpretation or position of the SEC or its staff or NASDAQ or its staff; provided that Merger Sub shall not in any event be required to extend the Offer beyond the Outside Date.  In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) promptly (and in any event within 24 hours of such termination), irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer, shall not acquire any shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer and shall cause any depositary acting on behalf of Merger Sub to return, in accordance with applicable Law, all Tendered Shares to the registered holders thereof.

The Company shall provide Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel with any comments (including a summary of oral comments) that the Company or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after receipt of such comments.  Prior to the filing of the Schedule 14D-9 (including any amendment or supplement thereto) with the SEC or dissemination thereof to the Stockholders, or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Schedule 14D-9, the Company shall provide Parent and Merger Sub with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Schedule 14D-9 or response, and the Company shall give reasonable consideration to any comments provided by Parent or Merger Sub.  The Company shall use reasonable efforts to respond promptly to any such SEC comments.

ARTICLE 4
CONSIDERATION; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

SECTION 4.1.   Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock.  At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, each share of Merger Sub capital stock will be converted into and become one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

SECTION 4.2.   Conversion of Company Common Stock.  At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any Stockholder:

(a)   Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) any shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 4.2(b) and (ii) any Appraisal Shares) shall be canceled and shall be converted automatically into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Offer Price, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”).  As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of either a certificate representing any such shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) or book-entry shares representing such shares of Company Common Stock (“Book-Entry Shares”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to

17

receive, as the case may be, (i) the Merger Consideration payable with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock upon surrender of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with Section 4.3, without interest, or (ii) the payment referred to in Section 4.9, in the case of each Certificate formerly representing shares of Company Common Stock or Book-Entry Shares owned by dissenting stockholders.

(b)   Each share of Company Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company and each share of Company Common Stock owned by Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled without any conversion thereof and shall cease to exist and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto.

SECTION 4.3.   Exchange of Certificates.

(a)   Paying Agent.  Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall enter into an agreement with such bank or trust company as may be designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the holders of shares of Company Common Stock to receive the funds to which holders of such shares of Company Common Stock shall become entitled pursuant to Section 4.2.  Without limiting the generality of Section 7.14, as of each of the Acceptance Time and the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall take all steps necessary to enable and cause Merger Sub to, deposit with the Paying Agent all of the funds necessary to purchase any shares of Company Common Stock that Merger Sub becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer and the aggregate Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of shares of Company Common Stock, as applicable (the “Exchange Fund”).  To the extent the Exchange Fund diminishes for any reason below the level required to make prompt payment of the amounts described in the preceding sentence, Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly replace or restore the lost portion of the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that it is, at all times, maintained at a level sufficient to make such payments.  The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.  The Exchange Fund shall, pending its disbursement to the Stockholders, be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent; provided that (i) no such investment or losses thereon shall relieve Parent from making the payments required by Section 4.2 or affect the amount of Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock and (ii) no such investment shall have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement. Any and all interest or other amounts earned with respect to such funds shall become part of the Exchange Fund, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable under Section 4.2 shall be promptly returned to Parent. The Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Paying Agent, in connection with the exchange of shares of Company Common Stock and the payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock.

(b)   Exchange Procedures.  As promptly as practicable (but no later than five Business Days) after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of Certificates and to each holder of record of Book-Entry Shares, in each case whose shares were converted into the right to receive the

18

Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 4.2(a), (i) a letter of transmittal which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent and which shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify and (ii) instructions for use in surrendering the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration payable with respect thereto.  Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of a Certificate for cancelation, together with a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal or receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) in the case of Book-Entry Shares, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares shall receive in exchange therefor the amount of cash which the shares of Company Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificate or book-entry entitle such holder to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article 4 and the Certificate or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled.  Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, each such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive the Merger Consideration.  No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on any cash payable to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Article 4.  In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered are registered if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Shares shall be properly transferred and the Person requesting such issuance shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(c)   No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock.  The Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article 4 shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificates or book entries, and, after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the shares of Company Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.  If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article 4, except as otherwise provided by applicable Law.

(d)   Termination of Exchange Fund.  Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for six months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent or one of its Affiliates, upon demand, and any holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who have not theretofore complied with this Article 4 shall thereafter look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws, as general creditors thereof) for payment of their claim for Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon and subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law, in respect of such

19

holder’s surrender of their Certificates or Book-Entry Shares and compliance with the procedures in Section 4.3(b).

(e)   No Liability.  None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or their respective Affiliates shall be liable to any Person in respect of any Merger Consideration or any cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.  If any Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall not have been surrendered prior to the earlier of (i) two years after the Effective Time and (ii) immediately prior to the date on which the Merger Consideration payable with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share pursuant to this Article 4 would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, then any such Merger Consideration shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f)    Lost Certificates.  If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent shall, subject to such Person’s compliance with the exchange procedures set forth in Section 4.3(b) (other than the surrender of a Certificate), issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration payable with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate in accordance with this Article 4.

SECTION 4.4.   Company Equity Awards.

(a)   Treatment of Options.  Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each unexpired and unexercised option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Company Stock Option”) under any Stock Plan, whether or not then exercisable or vested, shall be canceled and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such canceled Company Stock Option shall be entitled to receive, in consideration of the cancelation of such Company Stock Option and in settlement therefor, a payment in cash (subject to any applicable withholding or other Taxes required by applicable Law) of an amount equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to such cancelation and (ii) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to such cancelation (such amounts payable hereunder being referred to as the “Option Payments”).  No holder of a Company Stock Option that, as of immediately prior to such cancelation, has an exercise price per share that is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to any payment with respect to such canceled Company Stock Option.  From and after the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option shall no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof, but shall only entitle such holder to the payment of the corresponding Option Payment, if any.  On or prior to its first applicable payroll payment date that is after 15 days following the

20

Closing, the Surviving Corporation shall make (or cause to be made) by a payroll payment and subject to withholding, if any, as described in Section 4.8, to each holder of Company Stock Options, such holder’s Option Payment.

(b)   Treatment of Restricted Stock Units.  Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit with respect to shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Company RSU”) under any Stock Plan, whether or not then vested, shall be canceled and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such canceled Company RSU shall be entitled to receive, in consideration of the cancelation of such Company RSU and in settlement therefor, a payment in cash (subject to any applicable withholding or other Taxes required by applicable Law) of an amount equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to such cancelation and (ii) the Merger Consideration (such amounts payable hereunder being referred to as the “RSU Payments”).  On or prior to its first applicable payroll payment date that is after 15 days following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation shall make (or cause to be made) by a payroll payment and subject to withholding, if any, as described in Section 4.8, to each holder of Company RSUs, such holder’s RSU Payment.

(c)   Termination of Stock Plans.  As of the Effective Time, all Stock Plans shall be terminated and no further shares of Company Common Stock, Company Stock Options, Company RSUs, equity interests or other rights with respect to shares of stock of the Company shall be granted thereunder.

(d)   Board Actions.  Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) shall adopt appropriate resolutions and take all other actions necessary and appropriate (including obtaining any required consents) to effect the transactions described in this Section 4.4.

SECTION 4.5.   Company Warrants.

(a)   Upon the Closing, (i) the Company shall purchase each 2015 Company Warrant and the holders thereof shall be entitled to receive from the Company an amount in cash equal to the “Black Scholes Value” (as defined in the warrant agreement relating to the 2015 Company Warrants and calculated pursuant to the terms thereof) of each such 2015 Company Warrant plus any all other amounts payable to the holders in accordance with the terms thereof, which amount shall be paid by the Company as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than ten days following the Closing and (ii) each Other Company Warrant shall, by virtue of the Merger, be immediately canceled and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive, in consideration of such cancelation, an amount (the “Other Company Warrant Consideration”) in respect of each share of Company Common Stock for which such Other Company Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the Closing equal to (1) the Offer Price minus (2) the applicable exercise price per share of such Other Company Warrant; provided that if the exercise price of such Other Company Warrant equals or exceeds the Offer Price, the Other Company Warrant Consideration with respect to such Other Company Warrant shall be zero.  Following the Closing, no holder of any Company Warrant shall have any right hereunder or thereunder to

21

acquire any Company Securities, any Company Subsidiary Securities, or any securities in the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates.

(b)   Prior to the Closing, the Company shall take all such actions as are reasonably necessary or appropriate (including any notification requirements and obtaining any necessary written consents from the holders of the Company Warrants) to effect the provisions of this Section 4.5, and provide Parent with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent of the Company’s compliance with this Section 4.5.

SECTION 4.6.   Further Action.  The parties agree to take all necessary action to cause the Merger to become effective as soon as practicable following the Offer Closing without a meeting of the Stockholders, as provided in Section 251(h) of the DGCL.  If at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and the Company Subsidiary, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation are fully authorized in the name of the Company and the Company Subsidiary or otherwise to take, and shall take, all such lawful and necessary or desirable action.

SECTION 4.7.   Adjustments to Prevent Dilution.  Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, in the event that, during the period between the date hereof and the Effective Time, the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of Company Common Stock shall be changed into a different number of shares or securities or a different class, including as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, issuer tender or exchange offer or other similar transaction, then the Offer Price, the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be equitably adjusted, without duplication, to reflect such change; provided that, in any case, nothing in this Section 4.7 shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 4.8.    Withholding Rights.  Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, each of Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person 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 deducted and withheld by Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, and paid to the appropriate Governmental Authorities, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Company prior to Closing of any obligation to withhold Tax on any payments with respect to Company Common Stock (other than with respect to U.S. back-up withholding tax).

22

SECTION 4.9.   Appraisal Rights.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any Person who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares (“Appraisal Shares”) pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL shall not be converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration and shall entitle the holder only to payment for such Appraisal Shares in accordance with and to the extent provided by Section 251(h) and Section 262 of the DGCL; provided that if, after the Effective Time, any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL, then such Appraisal Shares shall automatically be converted as of the Effective Time into, and become exchangeable solely for the right to receive, Merger Consideration as provided in Section 4.2(a).  The Company shall serve notice to Parent within 24 hours of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands.  The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.  Any cash deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 4.3(a) with respect to shares of Company Common Stock that become Appraisal Shares shall be returned to Parent upon demand therefor.

respect of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement at any time prior to the Closing; provided that no such notification shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of such party set forth herein; (iii) any failure of that party to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder which would reasonably be expected to result in any condition to the obligations of any party to effect the Offer, the Merger or any of the other Transactions not to be satisfied; and (iv) the occurrence or existence of any Company Material Adverse Effect or the occurrence or existence of any event, fact, circumstance or development which would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect; provided that the delivery of notice pursuant to this Section 7.6 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the parties.

(b)   The Company shall (i) provide Parent with any Patent application, filing or other communication that the Company or the Company Subsidiary proposes to file with or send to any Patent office and receive and consider such comments as Parent may provide to the Company in respect of any such Patent application, filing or other communication, (ii) provide to Parent copies of all communications sent to or received from any Patent office, including Patent applications, filing receipts, office actions, responses or amendments, and notices of allowance; and (iii) keep Parent reasonably informed on a continuous basis in respect of its actions in respect of the filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Company’s and the Company Subsidiary’s Patents.  The Company shall provide the proposed Patent applications, filings, and other communications contemplated by clause (i) of the preceding sentence to Parent sufficiently in advance of their filing or dispatch to a Patent office to afford Parent a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon.

(c)   Subject to applicable Law, the Company shall (i) provide Parent with advance notice of any meetings or conference calls the Company has with (A) the FDA or its advisory committees, the EMA or its advisory committees, or any other similar Governmental Authority, and (B) subject to the prior written consent of the Collaboration Partners, any executive committee of the Company’s and its Collaboration Partners’ Representatives that has been established pursuant to any Contract with such Collaboration Partners with respect to the development, marketing, distribution, manufacturing, labeling, commercialization and sales of Company Products pursuant to such Contract and (ii) consider in good faith and, to the extent reasonable to do so, incorporate, any comments or other input provided by Parent in respect of the foregoing.  The Company will (1) promptly notify Parent of any notice or other communication to the Company or the Company Subsidiary from the FDA or its advisory committees, the EMA or its advisory committees, or any other similar Governmental Authority and, subject to applicable Law, permit Parent to review in advance any proposed written communication to such Governmental Authority, as considered appropriate by Parent, and incorporate Parent’s reasonable comments, (2) furnish Parent with non-confidential copies of all correspondence, filings and written communications between the Company, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives on one hand, and any such Governmental Authority or its staff on the other hand and (3) consult with Parent prior to making any significant submission to FDA, EMA or any similar Governmental Authority relating to the Company’s or the Company

60

Subsidiary’s business including any New Drug Application (NDA) or Biologics License Application (BLA), or supplement or amendment thereto, response to any Warning Letter, untitled letter, or observation on FDA Form 483 and shall give Parent reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such submission prior to its submission to such Governmental Authority.

SECTION 7.7.   Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a)   During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiary and the Representatives of the Company and the Company Subsidiary to, afford to Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours of the Company to its officers, employees, agents, properties, facilities, books, records, Contracts and other assets, and shall promptly furnish to Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Representatives copies of all existing financial, operating and other data and information as such Persons may from time to time reasonably request; provided that any such access (including to employees) shall be conducted at Parent’s expense, at a reasonable time, under the supervision of the chief executive officer or other Person designated by the Company, and in such a manner as to not to interfere unreasonably with the normal operation of the business of the Company.  All requests for information and access (including to employees) made pursuant to this Section 7.7(a) shall be directed to the chief executive officer or other Person designated by the Company.  The Company shall instruct its Representatives to cooperate with Parent and Merger Sub in their investigation of the Company and the Company Subsidiary.  No additional investigations or disclosures shall affect the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein, or limit or otherwise affect the remedies available to Parent and Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement.

(b)   Nothing herein shall require the Company to disclose any information to Parent if such disclosure would, in the Company’s reasonable discretion (i) jeopardize any attorney client or other legal privilege (provided that the Company will nonetheless provide Parent and the applicable Representatives of Parent with appropriate information regarding the factual basis underlying any circumstances that resulted in the preparation of such privileged analyses so long as such privilege will not be jeopardized thereby) or (ii) contravene any applicable Law, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement, including any confidentiality agreement to which the Company or its Affiliates is a party (provided that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of any such agreement’s counterparty to such inspection or disclosure).  The Company and Parent will each use its commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable disclosure under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

(c)   The information disclosed pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

61

SECTION 7.8.   No Solicitation.

(a)   At all times during the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall not, nor shall the Company instruct or knowingly permit the Company Subsidiary, or instruct or knowingly permit any of their respective Representatives to, directly or indirectly (other than with respect to Parent or Merger Sub), (i) solicit, initiate, propose or take any action to knowingly encourage any inquiries or the submission of any proposal that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal or otherwise knowingly facilitate any effort or attempt to make an Acquisition Proposal; (ii) except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Section 7.8(a), enter into, continue or otherwise knowingly participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, furnish to any Third Party any information or data relating to, afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or the Company Subsidiary in connection with, or otherwise cooperate with any Person with respect to, any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal; (iii) grant any waiver, amendment or release of or under, or fail to enforce, any confidentiality, standstill or similar agreement (or any confidentiality, standstill or similar provision of any other Contract) or take any action to exempt any Person (other than Parent or its Subsidiaries) or any action taken by any Person (other than Parent or its Subsidiaries) from any Takeover Provision; (iv) enter into any letter of intent, agreement, contract, commitment or agreement in principle with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or enter into any agreement, contract or commitment requiring the Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Transactions; or (v) resolve, propose or agree to do any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if in response to an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal made by a Third Party after the date hereof in circumstances not involving a breach of this Section 7.8, the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal and, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Law, then the Company may, at any time prior to the Offer Closing (but in no event after such time), enter into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with such Third Party making such an Acquisition Proposal and thereafter (1) furnish information and data with respect to the Company and the Company Subsidiary and afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or the Company Subsidiary to, and (2) enter into, maintain and participate in discussions or negotiations with, the Third Party making such Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives or otherwise cooperate with or assist or participate in, or facilitate, any such discussions or negotiations; provided, that the Company will promptly provide to Parent any information and data concerning the Company or the Company Subsidiary or access provided to such Third Party which was not previously made available to Parent. The Company shall ensure that its Representatives are aware of the provisions of this Section 7.8(a).  Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the foregoing restrictions by the Company Subsidiary or any Representative of the Company or the Company Subsidiary shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 7.8 by the Company. The Company shall not terminate,

62

waive, amend, release or modify any material provision of any Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement.

(b)   In addition to the other obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 7.8, the Company shall as promptly as practicable, and in any event no later than 24 hours after receipt thereof, notify Parent in writing of any Acquisition Proposal, which notification shall include (i) a copy of the applicable written Acquisition Proposal (or, if oral, a summary of the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal) and (ii) the identity of the Third Party making such Acquisition Proposal.  The Company shall thereafter keep Parent reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of any material developments, discussions or negotiations regarding any such Acquisition Proposal, and the material terms and conditions thereof (including any change in price or form of consideration or other material amendment thereto), including by providing a copy of material documentation (which shall include any proposals or offers) relating thereto that is exchanged between the Third Party (or its Representatives) making such Acquisition Proposal and the Company (or its Representatives) within 24 hours after the receipt thereof.

(c)   Except as expressly permitted by Section 7.8(d), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withhold, fail to include in (or remove from) the Schedule 14D-9, withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, fail to include in (or remove from) the Schedule 14D-9, withdraw, qualify or modify), in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Recommendation or (ii) adopt, approve, recommend, submit to the Stockholders or declare advisable any Acquisition Proposal (any action described in this Section 7.8(c) being referred to as a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”).

(d)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time during the Pre-Closing Period, the Company Board may effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement to enter into a Specified Agreement, in each case if, and only if, (i) the Company is not in breach of this Section 7.8, (ii) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to make the Company Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement to enter into a Specified Agreement would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Law, (iii) the Company has given Parent written notice of the Company Board’s intention to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement to enter into a Specified Agreement at least five Business Days prior to making any such Company Adverse Recommendation Change or terminating this Agreement to enter into a Specified Agreement (a “Change of Recommendation Notice”), (iv) if not in connection with an Intervening Event pursuant to Section 7.8(e), the decision to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change shall be in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or with the Company’s intent to terminate this Agreement to enter into a Specified Agreement, and the Company shall have complied with clauses (A) through (E), as follows: (A) prior to giving effect to clauses (B) through (E), the Company Board shall have determined that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal, (B) the Company shall have made available to Parent in writing the material terms and conditions of

63

such Acquisition Proposal and copies of all material documents relating to such Acquisition Proposal in accordance with Section 7.8(b), (C) the Company shall have negotiated in good faith with Parent (and caused its Representatives to negotiate with Parent), to the extent that Parent desires to negotiate, during the five Business Day period provided in the foregoing clause (iii) of this Section 7.8(d) with respect to such proposed revisions to this Agreement or other proposals made by Parent, if any, so that the Acquisition Proposal would no longer constitute a Superior Proposal, (D) after considering the results of negotiations with Parent and taking into account the proposals made by Parent, if any, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal remains a Superior Proposal, and, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make the Company Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement to enter into a Specified Agreement would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Law and (E) if the Company intends to terminate this Agreement to enter into a Specified Agreement, the Company shall have complied with Section 9.1(d)(i).  For clarity, the provisions of this Section 7.8(d) shall also apply to any material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal (except that any reference to five Business Days shall instead be three Business Days) or any successive Acquisition Proposals.

(e)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time during the Pre-Closing Period, the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to an Intervening Event, if and only if: (i) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to make the Company Adverse Recommendation Change would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Law; (ii) Parent shall have received from the Company written notice thereof at least five Business Days prior to making any Company Adverse Recommendation Change, describing the Intervening Event in reasonable detail; (iii) during the five Business Day period provided in the foregoing clause (ii), the Company shall have negotiated in good faith with Parent (and caused its Representatives to negotiate with Parent), to the extent that Parent desires to negotiate, with respect to any proposed revisions to this Agreement or other proposals made by Parent, if any, that would obviate the need to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change; and (iv) after considering the results of negotiations with Parent and taking into account the proposals made by Parent, if any, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith that the failure to make the Company Adverse Recommendation Change would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Law.

(f)    Nothing in this Section 7.8 shall prohibit the Company from (i) taking and disclosing a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a)  under the Exchange Act or complying with Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A under the Exchange Act (ii) making any required disclosure to the Stockholders, if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such position or make such disclosure would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under

64

applicable Law or any disclosure requirement under applicable Law, or (iii) making any disclosure that constitutes a stop, look and listen communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided that this Section 7.8(f) shall not permit the Company Board to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, except to the extent permitted by Section 7.8(c) or Section 7.8(d).

(g)   The Company shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiary and the Company’s and the Company Subsidiary’s respective Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing solicitations, encouragements, facilitations, discussions or negotiations with any Third Party conducted heretofore by the Company, the Company Subsidiary or their respective Representatives with respect to an Acquisition Proposal. 

SECTION 7.9.   Indemnification and Insurance.

(a)   After the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, fulfill and honor all rights and obligations to indemnification by the Company (including advancement of expenses) now existing in favor of each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof or who becomes prior to the Effective Time an officer or director of the Company or the Company Subsidiary (each an “Indemnified Party”) as provided in the Company Charter Documents, in each case as in effect on the date hereof, or pursuant to any other agreements in effect on the date hereof including as set forth on Section 7.9 of the Company Disclosure Letter, accurate and complete copies of which have been made available to Parent, shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation in the Merger, without further action, at the Effective Time and shall survive the Merger and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

(b)   After the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Party against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, fees, expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel, which shall be advanced as they are incurred, provided that the Indemnified Party shall have made an undertaking to repay any such expenses if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnification under this Section 7.9(b)), Judgments, fines, penalties or liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement or compromise) in connection with or arising in whole or in part out of actions, omissions, suits or other proceedings (whether civil or criminal, and including any proceeding before any administrative or legislative body) in which such Indemnified Party may be involved or with which he or she may be threatened (regardless of whether as a named party or as a participant other than as a named party, including, without limitation, as a witness) (an “Indemnified Proceeding”) by reason of such Indemnified Party’s being or having been such director or officer or an employee or agent of the Company or otherwise in connection with any action taken or not taken at the request of the Company, whether or not the Indemnified Party continues in such position at the time such Indemnified Proceeding is brought or threatened and at, or at any time prior to, the Effective Time (including any Indemnified Proceeding relating in whole or in part to the Transactions or relating to the

65

enforcement of this provision or any other indemnification or advancement right of any Indemnified Party).  The Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, pay all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by Indemnified Parties in connection with their enforcement of their rights provided under this Section 7.9.  The Surviving Corporation’s obligations under Section 7.9(a) and this Section 7.9(b) shall continue in full force and effect for a period of six years from the Effective Time; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses in respect of any claim asserted or made within such period shall continue until the final disposition of such claim.

(c)   The Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain the officers’ and directors’ liability insurance in respect of acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Effective Time covering each such Person currently covered by the Company’s officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof; provided that in satisfying its obligation under this Section 7.9(c), the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to pay an amount per year (the “Maximum Amount”) in excess of 250% of the annual premium the Company paid in its last full fiscal year prior to the date of this Agreement and if such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed the Maximum Amount, then the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained policies of insurance that, in the Surviving Corporation’s good faith judgment, provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to the Maximum Amount.  The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied if prepaid “tail” or “runoff” policies have been obtained by the Company prior to the Effective Time, which policies provide such directors and officers with coverage for an aggregate period of six years with respect to claims arising from acts or omissions that occurred on or before the Effective Time, including, in respect of the Transactions; provided, however, that the amount paid for such prepaid policies does not exceed the Maximum Amount.  If such prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain such policies in full force and effect for their full term, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

(d)   The provisions of this Section 7.9 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such individual may have under any certificate of incorporation or bylaws, by contract or otherwise. The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 7.9 shall survive the Offer Closing and the consummation of the Merger and shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party to whom this Section 7.9 applies without the consent of such affected Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 7.9 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 7.9, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 7.9).

66

(e)   In the event that the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all its properties and assets to any Person, or if Parent dissolves the Surviving Corporation, then, and in each such case, Parent shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.9.

SECTION 7.10.   Section 16 Matters.  Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to cause any dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities) in connection with this Agreement by each Company director or officer who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company’s equity securities to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

SECTION 7.11.   Transaction Litigation.  The Company shall promptly advise Parent in writing of any Transaction Litigation and shall keep Parent informed on a reasonably prompt basis regarding any such Transaction Litigation.  The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to (a) participate in the defense of any Transaction Litigation, and (b) consult with counsel to the Company regarding the defense, settlement or compromise with respect to any such Transaction Litigation.  For purposes of this Section 7.11, “participate” means that Parent will be kept reasonably apprised of proposed strategy and other significant decisions with respect to the Transaction Litigation (to the extent that the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel is not undermined or otherwise adversely affected), and Parent may offer comments or suggestions with respect to such Transaction Litigation which the Company shall consider in good faith, but Parent will not be afforded any decision making power or other authority over such Transaction Litigation; provided that the Company shall not settle or compromise or agree to settle or compromise any Transaction Litigation without Parent’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  Following the Effective Time, the Indemnified Parties may continue to retain counsel retained prior to the Effective Time to defend any Transaction Litigation; provided, however, that, in no event shall Parent be required to retain more than one pre-Effective Time counsel for all the Indemnified Parties as a group, unless required by conflicts of interest between or among the Indemnified Parties.

SECTION 7.12.   Deregistration; Stock Exchange Delisting.  Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Law and rules and policies of NASDAQ to cause the delisting of the Company and of the Company Common Stock from NASDAQ as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time and deregistration of the Company Common Stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after such delisting, and in any event no more than ten days after the Closing Date.  The Company shall not cause the Company Common Stock to be delisted from NASDAQ prior to the Effective Time.

67

SECTION 7.13.   Takeover Provisions. If any Takeover Provision becomes or is deemed to be applicable to the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the Offer, the Merger or any other Transaction, then each of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, and their respective boards of directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to render such Takeover Provision inapplicable to the foregoing.

SECTION 7.14.   Obligations of Merger Sub. Parent shall cause Merger Sub to comply in all respects with each of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, agreements and undertakings made or required to be performed by Merger Sub in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger, and the other Transactions.

SECTION 7.15.   Rule 14d-10 Matters.  Prior to the Offer Closing, the Company (acting through the compensation committee of the Company Board) shall take such steps as may be required to approve as an “employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement” within the meaning of Rule 14d-10(d)(1) under the Exchange Act (a) each Stock Plan, (b) the treatment of Company Stock Options and Company RSUs in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement, the applicable Stock Plan and any applicable Company Employee Benefit Plans and (c) each other Company Employee Benefit Plan that provides compensation or benefits in connection with the Transactions, for purposes of Rule 14d-10(d)(1) under the Exchange Act and to satisfy the requirements of the non-exclusive safe harbor set forth in Rule 14d-10(d) under the Exchange Act.

(ii)           if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Parent or Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred, which breach or failure to perform has a Parent Material Adverse Effect; provided that, for purposes of this Section 9.1(d)(ii), if such a breach is curable by Parent within the earlier of the Outside Date and 20 Business Days of the date the Company gives Parent notice of such breach and Parent is continuing to use its reasonable best efforts to cure such breach, then the Company may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(d)(ii) on account of such breach unless such breach shall remain uncured upon the earlier of the Outside Date and the expiration of such 20

70

Business Day period; provided further that the Company shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(d)(ii) if the Company is in breach of its obligations under this Agreement such that Parent would be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(ii) or Section 9.1(c)(iii); or

(iii)          if Merger Sub fails to commence the Offer in accordance with Section 2.1(a) or if Merger Sub fails to consummate the Offer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(d)(iii) shall not be available to the Company if the Company is in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement that has been the primary cause of, or resulted in, Merger Sub’s failure to commence the Offer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.2.   Effect of Termination.  If terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect without liability of any party (or any stockholder or Representative of such party) to each other party hereto; provided that the provisions of this Section 9.2, Section 7.7(c) Section 9.3 and Article 10 shall survive any termination hereof pursuant to Section 9.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, none of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company shall be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages arising out of any fraud or Willful Breach of any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith. For purposes of this Agreement, “Willful Breach” means an intentional and willful material breach, or an intentional and willful material failure to perform, in each case that is the consequence of an act or omission by a party with the actual knowledge that the taking of such act or failure to take such act would cause a breach of this Agreement; provided that the failure of Parent or Merger Sub to accept for payment and pay for the Tendered Shares promptly following the Expiration Date after all Offer Conditions have been satisfied or waived shall constitute a Willful Breach by Parent and Merger Sub, and Parent shall be liable to the Company for such Willful Breach as provided herein notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement. The Confidentiality Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

SECTION 9.3.   Termination Fee and Expenses.

(a)   Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 9.3, all costs and Expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such costs or Expenses, whether or not the Transactions are consummated; provided that Parent shall pay all filing fees payable pursuant to the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws.

(b)   In the event that:

71

(i)            this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(i) or Section 9.1(c)(ii);

(ii)           this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(i); or

(iii)          (A) this Agreement is terminated by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(i), Section 9.1(b)(iii) or Section 9.1(c)(iii), (B) after the date of this Agreement an Acquisition Proposal shall have been made to the Company or shall have been publicly made directly to the Stockholders, in each case, not withdrawn prior to the date of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, and (C) the Company consummates an Acquisition Proposal within 12 months after such termination or the Company enters into a definitive agreement within 12 months after such termination in either case to effect an Acquisition Proposal (replacing “15%” in the definition thereof with “50%”);

then, in any such event under clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 9.3(b), the Company shall pay to Parent, in cash at the time specified in the next sentence, a nonrefundable termination fee of $11,800,000 (the “Termination Fee”).  Any payment of the Termination Fee required to be made pursuant to (1) Section 9.3(b)(i) shall be made to Parent within one Business Day after termination of this Agreement by Parent or the Company as set forth in Section 9.3(b)(i); (2) Section 9.3(b)(ii) shall be made to Parent immediately prior to and as a condition to such termination of this Agreement by the Company as set forth in Section 9.3(b)(ii); and (3) Section 9.3(b)(iii) shall be made to Parent concurrently with the occurrence of the applicable event described in clause (C) of Section 9.3(b)(iii).  All payments under this Section 9.3(b) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account to be designated by Parent.  In the event that Parent shall have elected to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 and elected to receive full payment pursuant to this Section 9.3(b), then, receipt of the Termination Fee shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by Parent, Merger Sub, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof), the Transactions (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and none of Parent, Merger Sub, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any claim, action or proceeding against the Company or any of its Affiliates for damages or any equitable relief arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, any of the Transactions or any matters forming the basis for such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Parent has not elected to receive the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 9.3(b), nothing in this Section 9.3(b) shall prevent, limit or otherwise restrict the right of Parent and Merger Sub to bring or maintain any claims arising out of the Company’s fraud or Willful Breach of any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith. For the avoidance of doubt, any payment made by the Company under this Section 9.3(b) shall be payable only once with respect to this Section 9.3(b) and not in duplication even though such payment may be payable under one or more provisions hereof.

72

(c)   The Company and Parent acknowledge that the agreements contained in Section 9.3(b) are an integral part of the Transactions, and that, without those agreements, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub would not enter into this Agreement.  Accordingly, if the Company fails to make payment of any amount payable under Section 9.3(b) within the applicable time period specified in Section 9.3(b), as the case may be, and Parent commences a Proceeding to collect such amount that results in a judgment against the Company, the Company shall reimburse Parent for its fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such Proceeding and shall pay interest on the amount of the payment at the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date the amount was payable pursuant to Section 9.3(b), with such interest to accrue beginning on the date such amount first was payable pursuant to Section 9.3(b), to the date of payment.

SECTION 10.4.   Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

SECTION 10.7.   Assignment; Third Party Beneficiaries.

(b)   Each party hereto agrees that, except for the representations and warranties contained in Article 5 (including the Company Disclosure Letter), and Article 6 of this Agreement, neither the Company, Parent or Merger Sub makes any other representations or

76

warranties and each hereby disclaims any other representations or warranties made by itself or any of its Representatives, with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Transactions, notwithstanding the delivery or disclosure to any other party or any other party’s Representatives of any document or other information with respect to any one or more of the foregoing, including, in the case of the Company, any projections, forecasts, estimates, plans or budgets or future revenues, expenses or expenditures, future results of operations (or any component thereof), future cash flows (or any component thereof) or future financial condition (or any component thereof) of the Company or the Company Subsidiary or the future business, operations or affairs of the Company or the Company Subsidiary heretofore or hereafter delivered to or made available to Parent, except to the extent and as expressly covered by a representation and warranty made in this Agreement.

(a)   there shall not have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn that number of shares of Company Common Stock that, when added to the shares of Company Common Stock then owned by Parent and its controlled Affiliates, would represent one share more than one half of the sum of (i) all shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding at the Expiration Date and (ii) all shares of Company Common Stock that the Company may be required to issue upon the vesting (including vesting solely as a result of the consummation of the Offer), conversion, settlement or exercise of all then outstanding warrants, options, benefit plans, obligations or securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of Company Common Stock, or other rights to acquire or be issued shares of Company Common Stock (including all then outstanding Company Stock Options, Company RSUs and Company Warrants), regardless of the conversion or exercise price or other terms and conditions thereof) (such condition in this clause (a), the “Minimum Condition”);

(b)   any waiting period (and any extension thereof) applicable to the consummation of the Offer and the Merger under the HSR Act shall not have been terminated or shall not have expired, or any other clearance, approval or consent under any other applicable Antitrust Law shall not have been obtained;

(i)            there shall be any Law or Judgment enacted, enforced, amended, issued, in effect or deemed applicable to the Offer (other than the application of the waiting period provisions of the HSR Act or of requirements for clearance, approval or consent under any other Antitrust Law to the Offer or to the Merger) the effect of which is to, or would reasonably be expected to, directly or indirectly:  (A) make illegal or otherwise prohibit or materially delay consummation of the Offer or the Merger, or (B) compel Parent or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to agree to or implement a Non-Required Remedy;

(ii)           there shall be instituted, pending or threatened in writing any Proceeding by any Governmental Authority seeking any Non-Required Remedy;

I-1

(iii)          the Company and Parent shall have reached an agreement that the Offer or the Agreement be terminated, or the Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms;

(v)           the Company shall have failed to perform or comply in any material respect with any obligation, agreement or covenant required to be performed or complied with by it under the Agreement prior to the Expiration Date; or

(vi)          since the date of the Agreement, there shall have occurred any event, condition, change, occurrence or development of a state of facts that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect; or

(d)   Parent shall not have received a certificate signed on behalf of the Company by the chief executive officer or chief financial officer of the Company to the effect that none of the conditions in paragraphs (c)(iv), (c)(v), and (c)(vi) of this Annex I shall have occurred and be continuing.

LIMITATION ON LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (provided that the effect of any such amendment shall be prospective only), a director of the Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of his or her fiduciary duty as a director. The Corporation shall indemnify, in the manner and to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL (but in the case of any amendment of the DGCL, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than permitted prior thereto), any person (or the estate of any person) who is or was a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether or not by or in the right of the Corporation, and whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The Corporation may, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any such person against any liability which may be asserted against such person.

incurred (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, finds and amounts paid in settlement and any such expenses shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the person seeking indemnification to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Article VII, no advance shall be made by the Corporation if a determination is reasonably and promptly made by the Board by a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors, or (if such a quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs) by independent legal counsel to the Corporation, that, based upon the facts known to the Board or such counsel at the time such determination is made, (a) the party seeking an advance acted in bad faith or deliberately breached his or her duty to the Corporation or its stockholders, and (b) as a result of such actions by the party seeking an advance, it is more likely than not that it will ultimately be determined that such party is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Article VII. The indemnification provided herein shall not be deemed to limit the right of the Corporation to indemnify any other person for any such expenses to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, nor shall it be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification from the Corporation may be entitled under any agreement, the Corporation’s Bylaws, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. The Corporation may, but only to the extent that the Board may (but shall not be obligated to) authorize from time to time, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article VII as it applies to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.

Exhibit C

Form of Retention Agreements

[Astellas Letterhead]

Date                      [   ]

[Employee Name]

Re: RETENTION AGREEMENT

Dear [First Name]:

As you know, Astellas US Holding Inc. (the “Company”), through a subsidiary, [is purchasing/has purchased] [Orchid] (the “Merger”). We believe that your assistance during a transition period following the consummation of the Merger (the “Transition Period”) is essential to ensuring that the new enterprise is a success. Accordingly, we are offering you this agreement (the “Retention Agreement”) to provide to you valuable compensation in exchange for your services during the Transition Period as set forth below:

1.                                      Term of Transition Period. The Transition Period will begin on the date of the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) and end on the three-month anniversary of the Closing, unless extended or terminated. The Company may, in its discretion, extend the Transition Period up to [three (3)] additional months if the Company provides you with notice of the extension at least [thirty (30)] days before the Transition Period would have otherwise ended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Transition Period will end immediately upon the termination of your employment with the Company and its affiliates.

2.                                      Salary and Benefits. During the Transition Period, the following terms will apply to your employment:

a.                                      You will continue to receive your base salary as in effect immediately before the Closing.

b.                                      You will be eligible for health and other welfare benefits (other than severance and long-term incentives) that are provided to similarly situated employees of the Company and its affiliates.

3.                                      Special Retention Award.

a.                                      Initial Retention Payment. If you (i) remain employed by the Company or its affiliates on the date that is three (3) months after the Closing, (ii) are terminated by the Company and its affiliates before that date without “Cause” (as defined below), or (iii) terminate your employment before that date for “Good Reason” (as defined below), then you will

1

be entitled to receive a retention payment from the Company (or an affiliate) equal to one month’s base salary, or $[    ], less applicable withholdings (the “Initial Retention Payment”). The Initial Retention Payment will be paid on the first regular pay date to occur that is at least fourteen (14) days after (i) the date that is three (3) months after the Closing or (b) your termination date, whichever is earlier; provided, however, that in no event shall the Initial Retention Payment be made later than December 31, 2016, and provided that payment of the Initial Retention Payment is subject to, and shall not be made earlier than, the execution and effectiveness of a release substantially in the form enclosed as Exhibit A to this Retention Agreement (the “Release”). For purposes of this Retention Agreement, “Cause” means any of the following: [(a) your commission of a material act of dishonesty, fraud or breach of trust relating to your duties or employment with the Company; (b) your material violation of the Company’s code of conduct, any written employment policy of the Company or of any affiliate of the Company, or federal or state regulatory standards; (c) your conduct involving moral turpitude which is materially injurious to the Company; (d) your conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony; or (e) your continued non-performance of your duties with the Company (other than such failure resulting from your incapacity due to an injury or illness as determined by the Company) which has continued for more than 30 days following written notice of such non-performance from [the CEO].  “Good Reason” means any of the following: (a) a material diminution in the your responsibilities, authority or duties; (ii) a material diminution in the your base salary except for across-the-board salary reductions based on the Company’s financial performance similarly affecting all or substantially all employees of the Company; (iii) a material change in the geographic location at which you are required to provide services to the Company; or (iv) the material breach of this Agreement by the Company, provided that “Good Reason” shall not occur merely on account of a change in your reporting relationships or a change in corporate structure in connection with the Merger, and provided further that “Good Reason” shall occur only if the condition described in (i)-(iv) continued for more than 30 days following your written notice to the [the CEO] of such condition.

b.                                      Additional Retention Payments.

EXHIBIT A

CONFIDENTIAL AGREEMENT AND RELEASE

1.                                   Parties. This Confidential Agreement and Release (“Agreement”) is between you, [                  ,] and Astellas US Holding, Inc. (“the “Company’’). This Agreement sometimes refers to you and the Company collectively as “the Parties.”

2.                                   Retention Payment. In exchange for and as a condition of the promises you make in this Agreement, the Company agrees to pay you the Initial Retention Payment [and one/two/three Additional Retention Payments] (the “Retention Payment”) described in your Retention Agreement dated [    ] (the “Retention Letter”).

3.                                      General Release. In exchange for and as a condition of the Company’s promises in the Retention Letter, you, on behalf of yourself and anyone who may claim by or through you, agree to release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) all claims (whether statutory, equitable, or common law) that you have or may have against the Company and all of its current and former officers, employees, attorneys, contractors, pension and welfare plans (and their insurers, plan and claim administrators, fiduciaries, trustees, and service providers), subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, successors, and assigns (“Released Parties”); and (b) all claims (whether statutory, equitable, or common law) that you have or may have arising out of your employment with and/or separation from the Company and/or [Orchid] Therapeutics, Inc. You acknowledge and agree that this Agreement includes all claims which you do not know or suspect to exist in your favor against any of the Released Parties as of the date of your signature below, and that it is intended to and will release those claims in full.

4.                                      Exclusions from General Release. The General Release in Section 3 does not apply to (a) any claims arising out of any acts or omissions that occur after you sign this Agreement; (b) any claims or rights that cannot be waived by law, including your rights (if any) to workers’ compensation or unemployment compensation benefits; or (c) your rights under the Retention Letter. [In addition, the General Release does not affect your ability to challenge the validity of this Agreement under the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act of 1990 (29 U.S.C. §§ 621 et seq.).]

Neither the General Release nor anything in this Agreement prohibits you from making a good faith report to governmental authorities of suspected violations of law and/or cooperating with any governmental investigation or inquiry. Furthermore, nothing in the General Release or in this Agreement affects your right to file a charge with an administrative agency (such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any state law equivalent) or to participate in any investigation by such agency. You understand, however, that you are waiving, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to recover any money or other personal relief in connection with any claim, charge, or investigation brought on your behalf or for your benefit.

5.                                      [Age Discrimination Claims. You acknowledge that, by virtue of your age, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”) (29 U.S.C. §§ 621 et seq.) may provide you

with certain rights this Agreement will extinguish. You should consult with an attorney about these rights before signing this Agreement.]

6.                                      Time. [You have at least forty-five (45) calendar days to consider this Agreement before signing it, and an additional seven (7) days to revoke it after signing. To revoke this Agreement, you must transmit written notice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ by e-mail (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇) or fax (▇▇▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇) during normal business hours on the seventh calendar day after signing this Agreement.] You will not receive the Retention Payment described in Section 2 unless you (i) return this Agreement by [5 p.m.] Central Time on [    ], and (ii) do not revoke this Agreement.

[You may sign the Agreement sooner than the 45th day after you receive it, though you are not required to do so.

Unless revoked, this Agreement will take effect on the eighth (8th) calendar day after you transmit your signature to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, General Counsel, by e-mail (▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇) or fax (▇▇▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇).]

10.                               No Proceedings; Compliance with Subpoena. Except as permitted in Section 4, you will not instigate, cause, advise, or encourage any other person or entity to file a lawsuit in any court or to initiate an arbitration proceeding against any of the Released Parties.

11.                               Cooperation. You agree to cooperate with the Company, at the Company’s request, in any inquiry, litigation, investigation, or regulatory process involving the Company or any of the Released Parties. This Section does not require you to provide only information favorable to the Released Parties; rather, it means that you will provide the Company with truthful and accurate information as requested of you, to the extent such information is within your possession, custody, or control. The Company will reimburse you for reasonable and documented expenses incurred in connection with your cooperation under this Section.

12.                               Non-Admissions. This Agreement is not, will not be construed as, and will not be admissible in any proceeding as evidence of an admission by any of the Released Parties of any violation of law or wrongdoing of any kind.

You understand and agree that any breach of your obligations under this Agreement will immediately render the Company’s obligations null and void, and that you may be required to repay to the Company all sums you have been paid or which have been paid on your behalf under Section 2 of this Agreement. [A proceeding to challenge the validity of this Agreement under the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act of 1990 (29 U.S.C. §§ 621 et seq.) will not constitute a breach of your obligations under this Agreement.]

16.                               Arbitration. Any disputes arising out of this Agreement or the matters released by its terms, including questions as to arbitrability, will be heard in Chicago, Illinois, before a neutral arbitrator selected from a list provided by and in accordance with JAMS rules, or as the Parties may otherwise agree.
