AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), dated as of July 20, 2005, is by and among MGI PHARMA, INC., a Minnesota corporation (“Parent”), Granite Acquisition, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Guilford Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of Parent, the Company and Merger Sub have approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, in order to induce the Company to enter into this Agreement, concurrently herewith, Parent and the Company are entering into a line of credit agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Credit Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, Parent has agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to provide the Company with funds sufficient to operate the Company’s business in the ordinary course prior to the Closing Date (as defined herein); and

WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

The Merger

Section 1.01 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company at the Effective Time. Following the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving entity in the Merger (the “Surviving Entity”) in accordance with the DGCL.

Section 1.02 Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at 10:00 a.m. on a date to be specified by the parties (the “Closing Date”), which shall be no later than the second business day after satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at such time), at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Whitney LLP, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, unless another date or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto.

Section 1.03 Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, as soon as practicable on the Closing Date, the parties shall file a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL and, as soon as practicable on or after the Closing Date, shall make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or at such other time as Parent and the Company shall agree and shall specify in the Certificate of Merger (the time the Merger becomes effective being the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.04 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

Section 1.05 Certificate of Incorporation; By-Laws.

(a) At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of the Company shall be amended so as to read in its entirety in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, and, as so amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Entity until thereafter amended in accordance with its terms and applicable Law.

(b) At the Effective Time, the by-laws of the Company shall be amended so as to read in its entirety in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, and, as so amended, shall be the by-laws of the Surviving Entity until thereafter amended in accordance with their terms, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and applicable Law.

Section 1.06 Directors and Officers. The directors of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall submit their resignations to be effective as the of the Effective Time. Immediately after the Effective Time, Parent shall take the necessary actions to cause the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time to be the directors of the Surviving Entity, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Entity. The officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Entity, each to hold office until the earlier of his or her resignation or removal.

ARTICLE II

Effect of the Merger on the Capital Stock of the Constituent

Entities; Exchange of Certificates; Company Stock Options

Section 2.01 Effect on Capital Stock. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) or of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub (“Merger Sub Common Stock”):

(a) Shares of Merger Sub. Each issued and outstanding share of Merger Sub Common Stock immediately prior to the Merger shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Entity.

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by the Company (as treasury stock or otherwise), automatically shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no shares of Parent Common Stock, cash or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Subject to Section 2.02(e), each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.01(b) and other than as provided in Section 2.02(k) with respect to shares of Company Common Stock held by persons who object to the Merger and comply with all provisions of the DGCL concerning the right of such holders to dissent from the Merger and demand appraisal for their shares) shall be converted into and become the right to receive (i) $1.125 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”); plus (ii) a number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Parent (“Parent Common Stock”) at an exchange ratio (the “Exchange Ratio”) as determined in accordance with this Section 2.01 (the “Stock Consideration”). The Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration, together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.02(e), is referred to collectively herein as the “Merger Consideration.”

(i) If the Average Parent Stock Price (as defined below) is equal to or more than $ 31.7055 (the “Upper Limit”), then the Exchange Ratio shall be .0828 shares of Parent Common Stock for each share of Company Common Stock.

(ii) If the Average Parent Stock Price is less than the Upper Limit, but more than $23.4345 (the “Lower Limit”), then the Exchange Ratio shall be equal to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock for each share of Company Common Stock determined by dividing 2.625 by the Average Parent Stock Price.

(iii) If the Average Parent Stock Price is equal to or less than the Lower Limit, then the Exchange Ratio shall be 0.1120 shares of Parent Common Stock for each share of Company Common Stock.

For the purposes of this Agreement, “Average Parent Stock Price” means the average of the closing sales price per share of Parent Common Stock as reported by NASDAQ National Market (“NASDAQ”) (or, if not reported thereby, as reported by any other authoritative source) on each of the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the third trading day prior to the Closing Date.

As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration and any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(c), in each case to be issued or paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 2.02(b), without interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or Company

Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of the occurrence or record date of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction, the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction.

Section 2.02 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. As of the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, N.A. or such other bank or trust company as may be designated by Parent, with the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (the “Exchange Agent”) for exchange in accordance with this Article II (i) cash and certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(c) in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, (ii) and from time to time as needed, additional cash sufficient to pay cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.02(e) hereof and any dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.02(c) hereof (such cash and shares of Parent Common Stock, together with any dividends or other distributions with respect thereto with a record date after the Effective Time and any cash payments in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock, being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

(b) Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate whose shares of Company Common Stock were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01(c), (i) a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and which shall be in customary form and shall have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in surrendering the Certificates in exchange for cash and/or certificates representing the Merger Consideration, any dividends or other distributions to which holders of Certificates are entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(c) and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holders are entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(e). Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed, and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (A) a certificate representing that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive as Stock Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Article II after taking into account all the shares of Company Common Stock then held by such holder under all such Certificates so surrendered and (B) a check for the cash that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, including any Cash Consideration, any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(c) and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(e), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, (w) a certificate representing the proper number of shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, (x) a check for the cash that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to the

provisions of this Article II, including any Cash Consideration, any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(c) and (y) cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(e), may be issued to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if, upon presentation to the Exchange Agent, such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such issuance shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of cash and/or shares of Parent Common Stock to a person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.02(b), each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration, any dividends or other distributions to which the holder of such Certificate is entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(c) and cash in lieu of any fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(e). No interest will be paid or will accrue on the Merger Consideration or on any cash payable to holders of Certificates pursuant to Section 2.02(c) or (e).

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the share of Parent Common Stock that the holder thereof has the right to receive upon the surrender thereof, and no cash payment in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.02(e), shall be paid to any such holder, in each case until the holder of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with this Article II. Following surrender of any Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder thereof (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of cash payable in lieu of any fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(e), and the amount of dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time and paid with respect to Parent Common Stock prior to such surrender and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

(d) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. All Stock Consideration issued and cash paid upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Article II (including any Cash Consideration, any dividends or other distributions paid pursuant to Section 2.02(c) and cash paid in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.02(e)) shall be deemed to have been issued (and paid) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Certificates, and at the close of business on the day on which the Effective Time occurs, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Entity of the shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.02(f), if, at any time after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(e) No Fractional Shares.

(i) No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, no dividends or other distributions of Parent shall relate to such fractional share interests and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a stockholder of Parent.

(ii) In lieu of such fractional share interests, Parent shall pay to each former holder of shares of Company Common Stock an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the fractional share interest to which such former holder (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock held at the Effective Time by such holder) would otherwise be entitled by (2) the Average Parent Stock Price. As promptly as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of fractional interests, the Exchange Agent shall so notify Parent and Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity to deposit such amount with the Exchange Agent and shall cause the Exchange Agent to forward payments to such holders of fractional interests subject to and in accordance with the terms hereof.

(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates for nine months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holders of Certificates who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of their claim for the Merger Consideration, any dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with this Article II. If any Certificate shall not have been surrendered immediately prior to the date on which any Merger Consideration (and all dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.02(c) and all cash payable in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.02(e)) would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority (as defined below), any such Merger Consideration (and all dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.02(c) and all cash payable in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.02(e)) in respect thereof shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(g) No Liability. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any shares of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or other distributions with respect thereto) or cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock or cash from the Exchange Fund, in each case delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(h) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by Parent, on a daily basis. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be the property of, and shall be paid to, Parent. Any losses resulting from such investments shall not in any way diminish Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Merger Consideration.

(i) 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 Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration, any dividends or other distributions to which the holder of such Certificate would be entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(c) and cash in lieu of any fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder would be entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(e), in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(j) Withholding Rights. The Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or under any provision of state or foreign tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the former holder of the shares of Company Common Stock. The Exchange Agent shall sell in the open market such shares of Parent Common Stock on behalf of the former holder of Company Common Stock as is necessary to satisfy such withholding obligation and shall pay such cash proceeds to the appropriate taxing authority.

(l) Except as set forth in Section 3.12(l) of the Company Disclosure Letter, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the payment of any amount which would not be deductible by reason of Section 162(m) or Section 280G of the Code.

Parent and its Subsidiaries have in their possession copies of all the material documentation filed in connection with filings made by Parent or its Subsidiaries for regulatory approval or registration of the products or product candidates of Parent or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be. To the Knowledge of Parent and its Subsidiaries, the filings made by Parent or its Subsidiaries for regulatory approval or registration of the products or product candidates of Parent or its

Subsidiaries did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

Section 4.16 Intellectual Property. To the Knowledge of Parent and its Subsidiaries, they own free and clear of all Liens or have a valid license to all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of the business of Parent and its Subsidiaries as currently conducted (“Parent Intellectual Property”). To the Knowledge of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, the use of the Owned Intellectual Property and the Licensed Intellectual Property, in each case in connection with the operation of the business of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as currently conducted, does not infringe or misappropriate the Intellectual Property rights of any third party in any material respect, and to the Knowledge of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, no claim is pending or threatened against the Parent or its Subsidiaries alleging any of the foregoing. The patents (excluding patent applications) included in the Parent Intellectual Property are, to the Knowledge of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, (i) in good standing, and (ii) have not been adjudged invalid or unenforceable in whole or part. No legal proceedings are pending or, to the knowledge of the Parent, are overtly threatened against the Parent or its Subsidiaries (i) challenging or seeking to deny or restrict the use of any of the Parent Intellectual Property, or (ii) alleging that any services provided by, processes used by, or products manufactured or sold or to be manufactured or sold by the Parent or any Subsidiary infringe or misappropriate any Intellectual Property right of any third party. To the Knowledge of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, no third party is engaging in any activity that infringes or misappropriates the Parent Intellectual Property in any material respect. The Parent and its Subsidiaries have used commercially reasonable efforts to maintain their trade secrets in confidence.

Section 4.17 Brokers and Other Advisors. No broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other person, other than Lazard Frères & Co. LLC, the fees and expenses of which will be paid by Parent in accordance with Parent’s agreements with such firm, is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission, or the reimbursement of expenses, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Parent or its Subsidiaries.

Section 4.18 Financing. Parent or Merger Sub has on the date hereof and will have at the Effective Time sufficient cash, assets readily convertible into cash and borrowing availability under committed credit facilities to consummate the Merger (including payment of the Cash Consideration) and the transactions contemplated hereby on a timely basis in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 4.19 No Other Representations or Warranties.

(a) Except for the representations and warranties contained in Article IV of this Agreement, the Company acknowledges that none of Parent, Merger Sub or any other person on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub makes any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to Parent or Merger Sub with respect to any other information provided to the Company. Except in the case of fraud or willful misrepresentation, none of Parent, Merger Sub or any other person will have or be subject to any liability or indemnification obligation to the Company or any other person resulting from the distribution to the Company, or use by the Company of, any such information, including any information, documents, projections, forecasts

or other material made available to the Company in certain “data rooms,” confidential information memoranda or management presentations in expectation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) In connection with the investigation by the Company of Parent and its Subsidiaries, the Company has received or may receive from Parent and/or its Subsidiaries certain projections, forward-looking statements and other forecasts and certain business plan information. The Company acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, that the Company is familiar with such uncertainties, that the Company is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections and plans so furnished to it (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts and plans), and that, absent fraud or willful misrepresentation, the Company shall have no claim against anyone with respect thereto. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that Parent makes no representation or warranty with respect to such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans.)

The Company and Parent shall promptly provide the other copies of all filings made by such party with any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except for filings and submissions made under antitrust Laws.

Section 5.02 No Solicitation by the Company.

(a) From and after the date hereof, the Company shall not, nor shall it authorize or permit any of its Subsidiaries, any of its or their respective directors, officers, employees or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other advisor, agent or representative retained by the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Representatives”) to, directly or indirectly through another person, (i) solicit, initiate, cause, knowingly encourage, or knowingly facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Company Takeover Proposal or (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Company Takeover Proposal, or furnish to any person any information in connection with or in furtherance of any Company Takeover Proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions set forth in the preceding sentence by any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be a breach of this Section 5.02(a) by the Company. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and instruct its Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any person conducted heretofore with respect to any Company Takeover Proposal and request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval (and in no event after obtaining such Company Stockholder

Approval), in response to an unsolicited bona fide written Company Takeover Proposal made after the date hereof that the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside counsel and in light of all circumstances that the Company Board deems reasonably relevant, including, without limitation, the terms and conditions of such proposal and this Agreement) constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Company Superior Proposal, the Company may, if the Company Board determines in good faith (after receiving advice of its outside counsel) that its failure to do so could reasonably be expected to be considered a breach of its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law, and subject to compliance with Section 5.02(c) after giving Parent at least 24 hours’ prior written notice of such determination, (A) furnish information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the person making such Company Takeover Proposal (and its Representatives) pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement not less restrictive of such person than the Confidentiality Agreement (except for such changes specifically necessary in order for the Company to be able to comply with its obligations under this Agreement), provided that all such information (to the extent that such information has not been previously provided or made available to Parent) is provided or made available to Parent, as the case may be, prior to or substantially concurrent with the time it is provided or made available to such person, as the case may be, and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with the person making such Company Takeover Proposal (and its Representatives) regarding such Company Takeover Proposal.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Takeover Proposal” shall mean any inquiry, proposal or offer, whether or not conditional and whether or not withdrawn, (a) for a merger, consolidation, dissolution, recapitalization or other business combination involving the Company, (b) for the issuance of 20% or more of the equity securities of the Company as consideration for the assets or securities of another person or (c) to acquire in any manner, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the equity securities of the Company or assets (including equity securities of any Subsidiary of the Company) that represent 20% or more of the total consolidated assets of the Company, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the divestiture by the Company of the Aggrastat product.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Superior Proposal” shall mean any bona fide written offer made by a third party, that if consummated would result in such person (or its stockholders) owning, directly or indirectly, greater than 50% of the shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding (or of the surviving entity in a merger or the direct or indirect parent of the surviving entity in a merger) or all or substantially all of the total consolidated assets of the Company which the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside counsel and in light of all circumstances that the Company Board deems reasonably relevant, including, without limitation, the terms and conditions of such proposal and this Agreement) (i) to be more favorable to the stockholders of the Company from a financial point of view than the Merger and (ii) is reasonably capable of being completed, taking into account any financing and approval requirements and all other financial, legal, regulatory and other aspects of such proposal.

(b) Subject to Section 6.01(b), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) (A) withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent), the approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by such Company Board or any such committee thereof of this Agreement or the Merger or (B) recommend, adopt or approve, or

propose publicly to recommend, adopt or approve, any Company Takeover Proposal (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change” or (ii) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, or allow the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to execute or enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other similar agreement constituting or related to, any Company Takeover Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement pursuant to Section 5.02(a)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change if such Company Board determines in good faith (after receiving advice of its outside counsel) that its failure to do so could reasonably be expected to be considered a breach of its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law; provided, however, that no Company Adverse Recommendation Change may be made in response to a Company Takeover Proposal until after the fifth business day following Parent’s receipt of written notice from the Company (an “Adverse Recommendation Notice”) advising Parent that the Company Board has determined that such Company Takeover Proposal is a Company Superior Proposal, that the Company Board intends to make such Company Adverse Recommendation Change and containing all information required by Section 5.02(c), together with copies of any written offer or proposal in respect of such Company Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or other material terms of such Company Superior Proposal shall require a new Adverse Recommendation Notice and a new five (5) business day period). In determining whether to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Company Superior Proposal, the Company Board shall take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent (in response to an Adverse Recommendation Notice) in determining whether such third party Company Takeover Proposal shall constitute a Company Superior Proposal.

(c) In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 5.02, the Company shall promptly advise Parent orally and in writing of any request for information or other inquiry that the Company reasonably believes could lead to any Company Takeover Proposal, the terms and conditions of any such request, Company Takeover Proposal or inquiry (including any changes thereto) and the identity of the person making any such request, Company Takeover Proposal or inquiry. The Company shall promptly keep Parent fully informed of the status and details (including any change to the terms thereof) of any such request, Company Takeover Proposal or inquiry.

(d) Nothing contained in this Section 5.02 shall prohibit the Company from (i) taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any required disclosure to the stockholders of the Company if, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board (after receiving advice of its outside counsel), failure to so disclose would be inconsistent with its obligations under applicable Law.

Section 6.01 Preparation of the Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement; Stockholder Meetings.

(a) As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall file with the SEC the Proxy Statement and Parent shall prepare and Parent shall file with the SEC the Form S-4, in which the Proxy Statement will be included as a prospectus. Each of the Company and Parent will respond promptly to any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC on the Proxy Statement or Form S-4. Each of the Company and Parent shall use its reasonable efforts to have the Form S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing and keep the Form S-4 effective for so long as necessary to consummate the Merger. The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the stockholders of the Company as promptly as practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act. Parent shall also take any action required to be taken under any applicable state securities Laws in connection with the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock in the Merger, and the Company shall furnish all information concerning the Company and the holders of shares of Company Common Stock as may be reasonably requested by Parent in connection with any such action. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Form S-4 will be made by Parent, and no filing of, or amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement will be made by the Company, without providing the other party and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any information relating to the Company or Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers, should be discovered by the Company or Parent which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to either the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement, so that either such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by Law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company. The parties shall notify each other promptly of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC and of any request by the SEC or the staff of the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or the Form S-4 or for additional information and shall supply each other with copies of (i) all correspondence between it or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or the staff of the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement, the Form S-4 or the Merger and (ii) all orders of the SEC relating to the Form S-4.

Subject to Section 5.02(b), the Company shall, through the Company Board, recommend to its stockholders adoption of this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this

Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, at any time prior to the adoption of this Agreement by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with this Agreement, the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside counsel and in light of all circumstances that the Company Board deems reasonably relevant, including, without limitation, the terms and conditions of such proposal and this Agreement), in response to a bona fide written Company Takeover Proposal that was unsolicited and did not otherwise result from a material breach of Section 5.02(a), that such proposal is a Company Superior Proposal and the Company Board’s failure to terminate this Agreement to accept such Company Superior Proposal and/or recommend such Company Superior Proposal to the stockholders of the Company could reasonably be expected to be considered a breach of its fiduciary duties, the Company may terminate this Agreement and/or the Company Board may approve or recommend such Company Superior Proposal to its stockholders, and immediately prior to or concurrently with the termination of this Agreement enter into any agreement, understanding, letter of intent or arrangement with respect to such Company Superior Proposal, as applicable; provided, however, that the Company shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this sentence or approve or recommend such Company Superior Proposal until after the fifth business day following Parent’s receipt of written notice from the Company advising Parent that the Company Board has determined to terminate this Agreement or approve or recommend such Company Superior Proposal and containing all information required by Section 5.02(c) together with copies of any written offer or proposal in respect of such Company Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or other material terms of such Company Superior Proposal shall require a new notice from the Company and a new five business day period), and any purported termination pursuant to this sentence shall be void and of no force or effect, unless concurrently with such termination pursuant to this Section 6.01(b) the Company pays to Parent the Company Termination Fee payable pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(iv).

Section 6.02 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) Each party shall afford to the other parties hereto, and the other parties’ Representatives, reasonable access during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement to all its and its Subsidiaries’ properties, books, contracts, commitments, personnel and records and, during such period, each party shall furnish promptly to the others (a) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed by such party during such period pursuant to the requirements of Federal or state securities Laws and (b) consistent with its legal obligations all other information concerning such party and its Subsidiaries’ business, properties and personnel as the other party may reasonably request; provided, however, that either party may restrict the foregoing access to the extent that any law, treaty, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to such party requires such party or its Subsidiaries to restrict access to any properties or information. Except for disclosures expressly permitted by the terms of the confidentiality agreement, dated as of April 28, 2005, between Parent and the Company (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Confidentiality Agreement”), each party shall hold, and shall cause its Representatives to hold, all information received from the other party, directly or indirectly, in confidence in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement. No investigation pursuant to this Section 6.02 or information provided, made available or received by any party hereto pursuant to this Agreement will affect any of the representations or warranties of the

parties hereto contained in this Agreement or the conditions hereunder to the obligations of the parties hereto.

(b) In addition to and without limiting the foregoing, from the date hereof until the Effective Time, the Company shall furnish to Parent, within eighteen (18) business days after the end of each month, the standard monthly reporting package set forth in Section 6.02(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

Section 6.03 Commercially Reasonable Efforts. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using reasonable best efforts to accomplish the following: (a) the taking of all acts necessary to cause the conditions to Closing to be satisfied as promptly as practicable, (b) the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents and approvals from Governmental Authorities and the making of all necessary registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Authorities, if any) and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by any Governmental Authority, (c) the obtaining of all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties and (d) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement. In connection with and without limiting the first sentence of this Section 6.03, each of the Company and the Company Board and Parent and the Parent Board shall (i) take all action reasonably necessary to ensure that no state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) if any state takeover statute or similar statute becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, take all action reasonably necessary to ensure that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

understood and agreed that Parent shall nevertheless be obligated to provide such coverage as may be obtained for such 200% amount.

(c) The covenants contained in this Section 6.04 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs and legal representatives, and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, contract or otherwise.

Section 8.02 Termination Fee.

(a) In the event that:

(i) this Agreement is terminated by either Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(i), and (A) a vote to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval has not been held, (B) after the date of this Agreement a Company Takeover Proposal shall have been made or communicated to the Company or shall have been made directly to the stockholders of the Company generally (and that Company Takeover Proposal shall not have been withdrawn prior to the event giving rise to the right of termination under Section 8.01(b)(i)) and (C) within twelve (12) months after such termination the Company shall have reached a definitive agreement to consummate, or shall have consummated, that Company Takeover Proposal;

(ii) this Agreement is terminated by either Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(iii) and (A) after the date of this Agreement a Company Takeover Proposal shall have been made or communicated to the Company or shall have been made directly to the stockholders of the Company generally (and at least one such Company Takeover Proposal shall not have been withdrawn prior to the event giving rise to the right of termination under Section 8.01(b)(iii)) and (B) within twelve (12) months after such termination the Company shall have reached a definitive

agreement to consummate, or shall have consummated, a Company Takeover Proposal communicated prior to the termination, or a Company Takeover Proposal communicated after the termination with the meaning assigned to such term in Section 5.02(a), except that the references to “20% or more” shall be deemed to be references to “50% or more;”

(iii) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.01(c) and (A) the Company’s breach or failure triggering such termination shall have been willful, (B) after the date of this Agreement a Company Takeover Proposal shall have been made or communicated to the Company or shall have been made directly to the stockholders of the Company generally and (C) within twelve (12) months after such termination the Company shall have reached a definitive agreement to consummate, or shall have consummated, a Company Takeover Proposal communicated prior to the termination, or a Company Takeover Proposal communicated after the termination with the meaning assigned to such term in Section 5.02(a), except that the references to “20% or more” shall be deemed to be references to “50% or more;”

(iv) this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(d)(ii), or

(v) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.01(e) (but only if after the date of this Agreement a Company Takeover Proposal shall have been made and the Company Adverse Recommendation Change is made in response thereto);

then the Company shall (1) in the case of a Company Termination Fee payable pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 8.02(a), upon the earlier of the date of such definitive agreement and such consummation of a Company Takeover Proposal or (2) in the case of a Company Termination Fee payable pursuant to clauses (iv) or (v) of this Section 8.02(a), on the date of such termination, pay Parent a fee equal to $7,000,000 (the “Company Termination Fee”) by wire transfer of same-day funds. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in the event that the Company proposes to terminate this Agreement at a time when the Company Termination Fee is payable, the Company shall pay Parent the Company Termination Fee as described above prior to such termination by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing in Section 8.02(a)(i) or Section 8.02(a)(ii), if a Company Termination Fee would have been payable under Section 8.02(a)(i) or Section 8.02(a)(ii) but for the fact that the person (or any of its Affiliates) with whom the Company shall have reached a definitive agreement to consummate, or shall have consummated, a Company Takeover Proposal within twelve (12) months after termination of this Agreement withdrew a Company Takeover Proposal prior to the event giving rise to the right of termination of this Agreement under Section 8.01(b)(i) or Section 8.01(b)(iii), then the Company shall upon the earlier of such definitive agreement and such consummation of a Company Takeover Proposal pay Parent the Company Termination Fee by wire transfer of same-day funds. In the case of a Termination Fee payable pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 8.02(a), the parties hereby agree that the Company Termination Fee (including the right to receive such fee or the payment of such fee) shall not limit in any respect any rights or remedies available to Parent and Merger Sub relating to any willful breach or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement resulting, directly or indirectly, in the right to receive the Company Termination Fee.

(b) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(d)(i), Parent shall pay to the Company a fee equal to $6,000,000 (the “Parent Termination Fee” and together with the Company Termination Fee, the “Termination Fees”) on the date of termination by wire transfer of same-day funds. The parties hereby agree that the Parent Termination Fee (including the right to receive such fee or the payment of such fee) shall not limit in any respect any rights or remedies available to the Company relating to any willful breach or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement resulting, directly or indirectly, in the right to receive the Parent Termination Fee.

(c) Each of the Company and Parent acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in this Section 8.02 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, neither Parent nor the Company would enter into this Agreement. If either party (the “defaulting party”) fails promptly to pay the amount due pursuant to Section 8.02, and, in order to obtain such payment, the other party commences a suit that results in a judgment against the defaulting party for the Termination Fee, the defaulting party shall pay to the non-defaulting party its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the Termination Fee from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.

Section 8.03 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement by either the Company or Parent as provided in Section 8.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any liability or obligation on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, other than the provisions of the penultimate sentence of Section 6.02(a), Sections 6.05 and 8.02, this Section 8.03 and Article IX, which provisions shall survive such termination; provided that nothing herein shall relieve any party from any liability for any willful breach hereof.

Section 8.04 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time before or after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval; provided, however, that after such approval has been obtained, there shall be made no amendment that by Law requires further approval by the stockholders of the Company without such approval having been obtained.

Exhibit A

Form of Affiliate Letter

, 2005

TO COME

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I have been advised that as of the date of this letter, I may be deemed to be an “affiliate” of Guilford Pharmaceuticals Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), as the term “affiliate” is defined for purposes of paragraphs (c) and (d) of Rule 145 of the rules and regulations (the “Rules and Regulations”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 20, 2005 (as may be amended and restated from time to time, the “Agreement”), by and among MGI PHARMA, INC., a Minnesota corporation (“Parent”), Granite Acquisition, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the Company, pursuant to which the Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”), I have been asked to deliver this letter. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

As a result of the Merger, I will receive shares of Parent Common Stock in exchange for shares of Company Common Stock owned by me or purchasable upon exercise of options to purchase shares of Company Common Stock or vesting of certain other New Equity Awards.

I hereby represent, warrant and covenant that in connection with the Parent Common Stock that I will receive as a result of the Merger:

A. I shall not make any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Parent Common Stock in violation of the Act or of the Rules and Regulations.

B. I have carefully read this letter and the Agreement and discussed the requirements of such documents and other applicable limitations on my ability to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of Parent Common Stock to the extent I felt necessary, with my counsel or counsel for the Company.

[ ], 2005

Page 2

C. I have been advised that the issuance of Parent Common Stock to me pursuant to the Merger has been registered with the Commission under the Act on a Registration Statement on Form S–4. However, I have also been advised that, because at the time the Merger is submitted for a vote of the stockholders of the Company, I may be deemed to be an affiliate of the Company, and the distribution by me of the Parent Common Stock will not have been registered under the Act, I may not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any shares of Parent Common Stock issued to me in the Merger, unless (i) such sale, transfer or other disposition is made in conformity with the volume and other limitations of Rule 145 promulgated by the Commission under the Act, (ii) such sale, transfer or other disposition has been registered under the Act or (iii) I deliver a written opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to Parent, or pursuant to a “no action” letter or interpretive letter obtained by the undersigned from the staff of the Commission, stating that such sale, transfer or other disposition is otherwise exempt from registration under the Act.

D. I understand that Parent is under no obligation to register the sale, transfer or other disposition of Parent Common Stock by me or on my behalf under the Act or to take any other action necessary in order to make compliance with an exemption from such registration available; provided, however, that Parent agrees that it shall meet the requirements of paragraph (c) of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act.

E. I understand that Parent may give stop-transfer instructions to its transfer agent with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock to enforce the restrictions set forth herein and that there will be placed on the certificates for the Parent Common Stock issued to me, or any substitutions therefor, a legend stating in substance:

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION TO WHICH RULE 145 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, APPLIES. THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY ONLY BE TRANSFERRED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT DATED , 2005, BETWEEN THE REGISTERED HOLDER HEREOF AND MGI PHARMA, INC., A COPY OF WHICH AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICES OF MGI PHARMA, INC.

F. I understand that unless a sale or transfer is made in conformity with the provisions of Rule 145, or pursuant to a registration statement, Parent reserves the right to put the following legend on the certificates issued to any transferee:

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND WERE ACQUIRED FROM A PERSON WHO RECEIVED SUCH SHARES IN A TRANSACTION TO WHICH RULE 145 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, APPLIES. THE SHARES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED BY THE HOLDER NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR FOR RESALE IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY DISTRIBUTION THEREOF WITHIN THE MEANING

[ ], 2005

Page 3

OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED„ OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR IN ACCORDANCE WITH AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.”

G. Execution of this letter should not be considered an admission on my part that I am an “affiliate” of the Company as described in the first paragraph of this letter, nor as a waiver of any rights I may have to object to any claim that I am such an affiliate on or after the date of this letter.

It is understood and agreed that the legends set forth in paragraphs E and F above shall be removed by delivery of substitute certificates without such legend if (i) one year shall have elapsed from the date the undersigned acquired the Parent Common Stock received in the Merger and the provisions of Rule 145(d)(2) are then available to me, (ii) two years shall have elapsed from the date the undersigned acquired Parent Common Stock received in the Merger and the provisions of Rule 145(d)(3) are then available to me, or (iii) Parent has received either an opinion of counsel, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to Parent, or a “no action” letter obtained by me from the staff of the Commission, to the effect that the restrictions imposed by Rule 145 under the Act no longer apply to me or that the legend is otherwise not required for purposes of the Act.

This letter agreement constitutes the complete understanding between Parent and me concerning the subject matter hereof. This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.


Very truly yours,

The name of the corporation is Granite, Inc. The name under which the corporation was formed is Granite, Inc.

3. Purposes. The purpose of the corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law.

5. Bylaws. The board of directors of the corporation is expressly authorized to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws of the corporation.

6. Limitation of Directors’ Liability. No director of the corporation shall be liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that nothing contained in this Article 6 shall eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended after approval of this article to authorize corporate action further limiting or eliminating the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended.

Any repeal or modification of the foregoing paragraph by the stockholders of the corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

7. Indemnification.

7.1. Authorization of Indemnification. Each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether by or in the right of the corporation or otherwise (a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter, an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be (and shall be deemed to have a contractual right to be) indemnified and held harmless by the corporation (and any successor to the corporation by merger or otherwise) to the fullest extent authorized by, and subject to the conditions and (except as provided herein) procedures set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but any such amendment shall not be deemed to limit or prohibit the rights of indemnification hereunder for past acts or omissions of any such person insofar as such amendment limits or prohibits the indemnification rights that said law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expenses, liabilities and losses (including attorney’s fees, judgments, fines, ERISA taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that except as provided in paragraph 7.2 hereof with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee (except for a suit or action pursuant to subsection 7.2) only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors of the corporation. Persons who are not directors or officers of the corporation may be similarly indemnified in respect of such service to the extent authorized at any time by the board of directors of the corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this subsection 7.1 shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the corporation (and such successor) the expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred in the defense of or other involvement in any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that, if and to the extent the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which services was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter, an “undertaking”) by or on behalf of such indemnitee to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by a final adjudication from which there is no

further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this subsection 7.1 or otherwise.

7.2. Reimbursement of Expenses. If a claim under subsection 7.1 of this Article is not paid in full by the corporation within sixty days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty days, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) in any suit by the corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking the corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstance because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or by the corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article or otherwise shall be on the corporation.

7.3. Non-exclusivity. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Article shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the corporation’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

7.4. Insurance. The corporation may maintain insurance at its expense, to protect itself and any person who is a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability, loss or expenses, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnity such person against such liability, loss or expense under the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

7.5. Employees. The corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the board of directors, 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 with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the corporation.

8. Elections of Directors. Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the bylaws of the corporation shall so provide.

9. Effectiveness. This Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall be effective at 11:59 p.m. EDT on __________ ___, 2005.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, said corporation has caused this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be signed by ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, its Secretary, this day of 2005.

Without limiting the manner by which notice may otherwise be given, notice may be given by a form of electronic transmission that satisfies the requirements of the Delaware General Corporation Law and has been consented to by the stockholder to whom notice is given. If mailed, notice shall be deemed given when deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder’s address as it appears in the corporation’s records. If given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom notice is given, notice shall be deemed given at the times specified with respect to the giving of notice by electronic transmission in the Delaware General Corporation Law. An affidavit of the corporation’s secretary, an assistant secretary or an agent of the corporation that notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated in the affidavit.

1.6 Quorum. The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the stock entitled to vote at a meeting shall constitute a quorum. Where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series of stock is required at a meeting, the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the voting power of each such class or series shall also be required to constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, either the chairperson of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the voting power of the stock present, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the meeting may adjourn the meeting in the manner provided in Section 1.7 until a quorum shall be present.

Notice of an adjourned meeting need not be given if the time and place, if any, or the means of remote communications to be used rather than holding the meeting at any place are announced at the meeting so adjourned, except that notice of the adjourned meeting shall be required if the adjournment is for more than 30 days or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting.

For a period of at least 10 days before the meeting, the voting list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting either on a reasonably accessible electronic network (provided that the information required to gain access to the list is provided with the notice of the meeting) or during ordinary business hours at the corporation’s principal place of business. If the list is made available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that it is available only to stockholders. If the stockholders’ meeting is held at a place, the voting list shall be produced and kept at that place during the whole time of the meeting. If the stockholders’ meeting is held solely by means of remote communications, the voting list shall be made available for inspection

on a reasonably accessible electronic network during the whole time of the meeting. In either case, any stockholder may inspect the voting list at any time during the meeting.
