THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), dated as of July 6, 2008, by and among Fresenius SE, a societas europaea organized under the laws of Germany (“Parent”); Fresenius Kabi Pharmaceuticals Holding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Holdco”); and Fresenius Kabi Pharmaceuticals, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco (“Sub”); and APP Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of Parent, Holdco, Sub and the Company have approved the acquisition of the Company by Parent on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

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

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Parent, Holdco, Sub and certain stockholders of the Company (the “Principal Stockholders”) are entering into a written consent and voting agreement of even date herewith (the “Written Consent and Voting Agreement”) pursuant to which such stockholders have agreed, subject to the terms thereof, to take specified actions in furtherance of the Merger, including executing and delivering written consents under Section 228 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), pursuant to which this Agreement and the Merger are adopted in accordance with Section 251(c) of the DGCL immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, (i) Parent and Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong are executing and delivering a Non-Competition Agreement, which will become effective at the Effective Time (as defined below) (the “Non-Competition Agreement”), and (ii) Parent is executing and delivering to Holdco an equity commitment letter in favor of Holdco in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, (the “Equity Letter”). As of or prior to the Closing, Holdco and a trustee mutually agreeable to Holdco and the Company (the “Trustee”) will enter into a Contingent Value Rights Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “CVR Indenture”), together with the Non-Competition Agreement, the Equity Letter and the Written Consent and Voting Agreement (the “Related Agreements”); and

WHEREAS, contemporaneous with the Effective Time, Holdco will convert from a Delaware limited liability company into a Delaware corporation;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

Section 1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time (as hereinafter defined), Sub shall be merged with and into the Company and the separate existence of Sub shall thereupon cease, and the Company, as the

corporation surviving the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”), shall by virtue of the Merger continue its corporate existence under the laws of the State of Delaware.

Section 1.2 Effective Time of the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at the date and time (the “Effective Time”) when the certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) shall have been duly executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the DGCL, or at such other time as is specified in the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DGCL, which Certificate of Merger shall be filed on the Closing Date as soon as practicable following the Closing.

Section 1.3 Certificate of Incorporation. Subject to Section 6.3(a), the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Company (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) shall, by virtue of the Merger, be amended and restated to read in its entirety as set forth on Exhibit C and, as so amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter changed or amended in accordance with its terms and as provided by law and this Agreement.

Section 1.4 By-laws. Subject to Section 6.3(a), the by-laws of the Company in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter changed or amended in accordance with their terms and as provided by law and this Agreement.

Section 1.5 Board of Directors and Officers. The managers of Sub and the officers of the Company in office immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the directors and officers, respectively, of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their respective successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal, in accordance with the Surviving Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws.

Section 1.6 Effects of Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the DGCL.

ARTICLE II

CONVERSION OF SHARES

Section 2.1 Conversion of Shares.

(a) Conversion of Shares. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Holdco, Sub, the Company or any holders of shares of capital stock of the Company:

(i) Each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) that is held in the treasury of the Company and any shares of Common Stock owned by Parent, Holdco, Sub or any other wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent shall be canceled and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor (such shares, the “Excluded Company Shares”).

(ii) Each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Company Shares and Dissenting Company Shares (as defined in Section 2.3)) shall be converted into the right to receive (1) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to $23.00 (the “Cash Consideration”), plus (2) a contingent value right (a “CVR”) issued by Holdco pursuant to the CVR Indenture ((1) and (2) together, the “Merger Consideration”). Each CVR issued pursuant to the CVR Indenture will be substantially in the form attached as Annex A to the CVR Indenture (the “CVR Certificate”). The CVR Certificates will be issued by Holdco pursuant to the CVR Indenture.

All such shares of Common Stock, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired, and each holder of a certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”) representing any such shares of Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest.

(b) All of the membership interests of Sub, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, collectively be converted into and become at the Effective Time one thousand fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.2 Payment and Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Prior to the mailing of the information statement/prospectus to be included in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 to be filed by Holdco with the SEC (as defined in Section 3.4(a)) in connection with the Merger (such information statement/prospectus, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Information Statement/Prospectus”, and such registration statement, together with any amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Registration Statement”), Parent shall appoint a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as paying agent hereunder (the “Paying Agent”) for the purpose of payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration to be paid to Securityholders (as defined in Section 2.2(b)) under this ARTICLE II. Parent and Holdco will enter into a paying agent agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company at least two Business Days prior to the mailing to the stockholders of the Company the Information Statement/Prospectus. As used herein, “Business Day” means any day of the year on which national banking institutions in New York are open to the public for conducting business and are not required or authorized to close.

(b) At the Closing, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent (A) cash in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Cash Consideration and (B) the CVR Certificates representing the CVRs issuable pursuant to the CVR Indenture pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii) (such aggregate amount of Cash Consideration and the CVRs, the “Exchange Fund”) to which the holders (collectively, the “Securityholders”) of all shares of Common Stock (other than Excluded Company Shares and Dissenting Company Shares), Options and RSUs (each of Options and RSUs as defined in Section 2.7) become entitled under this ARTICLE II. The Paying Agent shall cause the Exchange Fund to be (i) held for the benefit of the Securityholders and (ii) promptly applied to making the payments provided for in this ARTICLE II. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose that is not provided for herein. The Paying Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by Parent, in direct obligations of the United States of America, obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for the payment of all principal and interest, commercial paper obligations receiving the highest rating from either Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank which are then publicly available), or a combination thereof. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be kept in the Exchange Fund. To the extent that there are losses with respect to such investments, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for other reasons below the level required to make prompt payments of the aggregate Cash Consideration to be paid to Securityholders as contemplated hereby, Parent shall promptly replace or restore the portion of the Exchange Fund lost through investments or other events so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is, at all times, maintained at a level sufficient to make such payments. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any interest and other income received by the Paying Agent in respect of such funds) that remains undistributed to the Securityholders one year after the Effective Time of the Merger shall be delivered to Parent at such time. Thereafter, Securityholders shall look only to Parent (subject to

the terms of this Agreement) as a general creditor for payment of the consideration payable to them under this ARTICLE II, without interest, upon the surrender of any Certificates held by them.

(c) As soon as practicable (but in any event within 2 Business Days) after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each stockholder of record of shares of Common Stock represented by Certificates, other than Excluded Company Shares: (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 actual delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent and shall be in a form reasonably agreed upon by Parent, Holdco and the Company prior to the Closing); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or delivery of such customary affidavits and indemnities with respect to a lost Certificate which the Paying Agent and/or the Company’s transfer agent may reasonably require) for cancellation to the Paying Agent after the Effective Time, together with such letter of transmittal duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration into which the shares of Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificate shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1, and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. No interest will be paid or will accrue on the cash payable upon the surrender of any Certificate. In the event of a transfer of ownership of 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 so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes (as defined in Section 3.9(e)) required by reason of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate (other than Certificates representing any Dissenting Company Shares or Excluded Company Shares) shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the amount of cash, without interest, and the number of CVRs into which the shares of Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificate shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, the Paying Agent will mail to each holder of shares of Common Stock represented by book-entry on the records of the Company or the Company’s transfer agent (“Book-Entry Shares”), on behalf of the Company, other than Excluded Company Shares, a check in the amount of cash and CVR Certificates representing the number of CVRs into which such Book-Entry Shares have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1.

Section 2.3 Dissenting Company Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Common Stock which are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by holders who have properly exercised appraisal rights with respect thereto in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Company Shares”) will not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and holders of such shares will be entitled to receive payment of the value of such shares determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, after the Effective Time, any such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses its right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL, the shares of Common Stock held by such holder will thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into, at the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon. Upon the Company’s receipt of any notice of intent to demand payment in accordance with the provisions of the DGCL, or any withdrawal of such notice, the Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable provide Parent with a copy of such notice. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent or pursuant to a valid court order, make any payment with respect to any such election to dissent or offer to settle or settle any such election to dissent.

Section 2.4 No Further Ownership Rights in the Shares. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of shares of Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective

Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by applicable law. All cash paid and all CVR Certificates issued upon the surrender of Certificates in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Common Stock.

Section 2.5 Closing of Company Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and no transfer of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall thereafter be made. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates representing shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this ARTICLE II.

Section 2.6 Adjustments. If prior to the Effective Time there is a change in the number of shares of Common Stock as a result of a distribution, reclassification, stock split (including a reverse split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, subdivision, spin-off, issue tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction, the Merger Consideration and any other payments to Securityholders based upon the Merger Consideration will be equitably adjusted to eliminate the effects of this event on the Merger Consideration and such other payments.

Section 2.7 Stock Options and RSUs.

(a) All options (individually, an “Option” and collectively, the “Options”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time under any Company stock option or equity incentive plan (“Company Stock Plan”), whether or not then vested and exercisable, shall be canceled at the Effective Time and:

(i) each holder of an Option with a per share exercise price that is less than the Cash Consideration will be immediately entitled to receive, for each share of Common Stock subject to such Option, (A) an amount in cash equal to the excess of the Cash Consideration over the per share exercise price of such Option, without interest, and (B) one CVR; and

(ii) each holder of an Option with a per share exercise price that is equal to or greater than the Cash Consideration will be entitled, upon payout of the CVRs in accordance with their terms, to receive, for each share of Common Stock subject to such Option, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Cash Consideration plus the amount of cash per CVR paid to the CVR holders in accordance with the terms of the CVR over (y) the per share exercise price of such Option.

For the avoidance of doubt, each holder of an Option with a per share exercise price that is greater than $29.00 shall not be entitled to receive any portion of the Merger Consideration.

(b) Each restricted stock unit (“RSU”) granted by the Company under any Company Stock Plan, which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall vest and become free of such restrictions as of the Effective Time, and the holders of RSUs will be entitled to receive, for each RSU, (i) cash, without interest, equal to the Cash Consideration and (ii) one CVR.

(c) Any such amounts representing Cash Consideration shall be paid by the Paying Agent promptly following the Effective Time from the Exchange Fund, and any CVR Certificates required to be distributed pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be distributed by the Paying Agent, in each case in accordance with Section 2.2.

(d) Each Company Stock Plan and each Option and each RSU shall terminate as of the Effective Time, and any other plan, program or arrangement providing for the issuance or grant of any interest in respect of the capital stock (or any interest convertible into or exchangeable for such capital stock) of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof shall be canceled as of the Effective Time, subject to the right of the holders of outstanding Options and RSUs to receive the consideration provided for in this Section 2.7. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) (or a committee thereof) will (a) adopt amendments to, or make determinations with respect to, the Company Stock Plans, individual agreements evidencing the grant of Options or any shares of restricted stock of the Company (“Restricted Stock”), RSUs and Employee Benefit Plans (as defined in 0(a)), if necessary, to implement the provisions of this Section 2.7 and (b) take all necessary action to terminate the Company Stock Plans and all grants of Options, Restricted Stock and RSUs.

Section 2.8 Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, One New York Plaza, New York, New York 10004, at 9:00 A.M. local time on the day which is no later than four Business Days after the day on which the last of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VII (other than those that can only be fulfilled at the Closing) is fulfilled or waived, or at such other time and place as Parent and the Company shall agree in writing. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”

Section 2.9 Withholding of Tax. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent, the Company, any Affiliate thereof or the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Common Stock, RSUs or Options, such amounts as Parent, the Company, any Affiliate thereof or the Paying Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Company, any Affiliate thereof, Parent or the Paying Agent, such withheld amounts shall be (a) paid over to the applicable Governmental Entity (as defined in Section 3.3(c)) in accordance with applicable law and (b) treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder or participant, as the case may be, in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Company, any Affiliate thereof, Parent or the Paying Agent, as the case may be.

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

Section 4.10 Solvency. As of the Effective Time, assuming satisfaction of the conditions to Parent’s, Holdco’s and Sub’s obligations to consummate the Merger, or waiver of such conditions, and after giving effect to all of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including without limitation the Financing (as defined in Section 6.6(c)) or any Alternative Financing (as defined in Section 6.7(c)), any repayment or refinancing of debt contemplated by the Financing Documents, the funding of any obligations of the Company or its Subsidiaries which become due or payable at the Closing by the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with, or as a result of, the Merger and payment of all related fees and expenses, each of Holdco and the Surviving Corporation and APP Pharmaceuticals, LLC will be Solvent. For the purposes of this Section 4.10 the term “Solvent” when used with respect to any Person, means that, as of any date of determination, (a) the amount of the “fair saleable value” of the assets of such Person will, as of such date, exceed (i) the value of all “liabilities of such Person, including contingent and other liabilities” as of such date, as such quoted terms are generally determined in accordance with applicable federal laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors, and (ii) the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities of such Person on its existing debts (including contingent liabilities) as such debts become absolute and matured, (b) such Person will not have, as of such date, an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged following such date, and (c) such Person will be able to pay its liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature. For purposes of this definition, “not have an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged” and “able to pay its liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature” means that such Person will be able to generate enough cash from operations, asset dispositions or refinancings, or a combination thereof, to meet its obligations as they become due.

Section 4.11 Ownership of Shares. As of the date of this Agreement, none of Parent, Holdco, Sub or their respective Affiliates owns (beneficially or of record) any shares of Common Stock, and none of Parent, Holdco, Sub or their respective Affiliates is a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of any shares of Common Stock.

Except for the representations and warranties expressly contained in this ARTICLE IV, the Company acknowledges that neither Parent, Holdco, Sub or any other Person on behalf of Parent, Holdco or Sub makes any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to Parent, any of its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses or any other matter or with respect to any other information provided or made available to the Company, and that all such representations and warranties, other than the representations and warranties of Parent, Holdco and Sub expressly contained in this ARTICLE IV, are expressly disclaimed. Neither Parent, Holdco, Sub nor any other Person will have or be subject to any liability or indemnification obligation to the Company or any other Person relating to or resulting from the distribution to the Company, or use by the Company of, any such information, including any information, documents, projections, forecasts, confidential information memoranda or management presentations in expectation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except that the foregoing limitations shall not (a) apply to Parent, Holdco or Sub to the extent Parent, Holdco or Sub makes the specific representations and warranties set forth in this ARTICLE IV, but always subject to the limitations and restrictions contained herein, or (b) preclude the Company from seeking any remedy for fraud.

Section 6.4 No Solicitation.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 6.4, after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, the Company agrees that the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not, and that it shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, attorneys and other advisors or representatives (“Representatives”) of the Company or its Subsidiaries, not to, (i) solicit, initiate, encourage, or induce any inquiry with respect to, or the making, submission or announcement of, any proposal or offer which would reasonably be expected to lead to a merger, acquisition, consolidation, tender offer, exchange offer or similar transaction involving, or any proposal or offer to purchase or acquire in any manner (A) assets representing 15% or more of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (B) an equity interest in 15% or more of the voting securities of the Company or of any of its Subsidiaries if such Subsidiaries own directly or indirectly 15% or more of the assets referred to in clause (A) (any such proposal or offer being hereinafter referred to as an “Acquisition Proposal”), other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) enter into, participate, continue or otherwise engage in discussions or negotiations with, or provide any non-public information to any Person (other than Parent, Holdco, Sub and their representatives) with respect to any inquiries

regarding, or the making of, an Acquisition Proposal or that would otherwise reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal, (iii) approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal, or (iv) enter into or approve any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or similar agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall immediately terminate, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives to immediately terminate, all discussions or negotiations, if any, that are ongoing as of the date hereof with any third party with respect to an Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Subject to the provisions of this Section 6.4, the Company may (A) provide information in response to a request by a Person who has made a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that was not initiated or solicited in violation of Section 6.4(a) if the Company receives from the Person so requesting the information an executed confidentiality agreement no more favorable in any material respect to such Person than the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in Section 6.5) is to Parent’s Affiliate; and/or (B) engage in discussions or negotiations with any Person who has made a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that was not initiated or solicited in violation of Section 6.4(a), if, in each case, the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith that failure to take this action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law; and in the case referred to in clause (B) above, if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith that the Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal. As used in this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide Acquisition Proposal (for this purpose substituting “60%” for each reference to 15% in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal”) that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and legal counsel) is reasonably expected to be consummated in accordance with its terms, taking into account all legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the proposal and the Person making the proposal, and if consummated, would result in a transaction that is more favorable to the stockholders of the Company from a financial point of view than the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (after taking into account any revisions to the terms of the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement agreed to by Parent pursuant to Section 6.4(c) and Section 8.3), where the Board of Directors of the Company has concluded, in good faith, that the failure of the Board of Directors of the Company to identify such Acquisition Proposal as a Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

(c) The Company shall notify Parent orally and in writing promptly, and in any event within three Business Days, after receipt of any Acquisition Proposal. The written notice shall include the identity of the third party making such Acquisition Proposal, the material terms of the Acquisition Proposal and copies of any substantive written communications and documents setting forth the terms of such Acquisition Proposal received by the Company from the third party making such Acquisition Proposal, and the Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed of any material changes with respect to such Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall promptly notify Parent orally and in writing upon determination by the Board of Directors of the Company that an Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal. The Company shall not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d) hereof until after the fifth Business Day following Parent’s receipt of written notice (a “Superior Proposal Notice”) from the Company advising Parent that the Board of Directors of the Company has received a Superior Proposal, specifying the terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal and stating that the Board of Directors of the Company intends to exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d). The Company agrees that after notifying Parent that an Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal, including during the five-Business Day period specified in the preceding sentence (such period, the “Parent Review Period”), Parent will be permitted to propose to the Company revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Company and its Representatives will, if requested by Parent, negotiate in good faith with Parent and its Representatives regarding any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement proposed by Parent.

(d) Nothing contained in this Section 6.4 shall prohibit the Company or its Board of Directors from taking and disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position with respect to a tender offer by a third party pursuant to Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making such disclosure to the Company’s stockholders which, in the judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company after receiving advice of outside legal counsel, is reasonably likely to be required under applicable law.

Section 6.5 Access to Information; Confidentiality. The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to Parent, and to Parent’s officers, employees, accountants, counsel, financial advisors and other representatives, upon reasonable notice, reasonable access during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time to all their respective properties, books, Contracts, commitments and records; provided, however, that such access shall not unreasonably disrupt the Company’s operations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.5, the Company shall not be required to provide any information which it reasonably believes it may not provide Parent, Holdco or Sub by reason of applicable law (including antitrust laws), rules or regulations, which constitutes information protected by attorney/client privilege, or which the Company or any Subsidiary is required to keep confidential by reason of Contract, agreement or understanding with third parties. All information exchanged pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall be subject to the confidentiality agreement (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) between the Company and Parent, dated April 25, 2008.

Section 6.6 Reasonable Best Efforts; Notification.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all reasonable actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties hereto in doing, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Merger, including (i) the obtaining of all Consents and the making of all Registrations specified in Section 3.3(c) and Section 4.4 and the taking of all reasonable steps as may be necessary to obtain such Consents and to make such Registrations, (ii) the obtaining of all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties, (iii) the defending of any lawsuits or other Proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger, including, seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Entity vacated or reversed, and (iv) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Merger and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that the obligations set forth in this sentence shall not be deemed to have been breached as a result of actions by the Company expressly permitted under Section 6.4.

Without limiting the foregoing, Parent and its Subsidiaries shall not take or agree to take any action that would reasonably be expected to delay or prevent consummation of the Merger.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, each of Parent and the Company undertakes and agrees to file as soon as practicable, and in any event prior to seven days after the date hereof, a Notification and Report Form under the HSR Act with the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (the “Antitrust Division”). Each of Parent and the Company shall (i) respond as promptly as practicable to any inquiries received from the FTC or the Antitrust Division for additional information or documentation and to all inquiries and requests received from any State Attorney General or other Governmental Entity in connection with antitrust matters, and (ii) not extend any waiting period under the HSR Act or enter into any agreement with the FTC or the Antitrust Division not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except with the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. Parent shall commit to take

all steps which it is capable of taking to avoid or eliminate impediments under any antitrust, competition, or trade regulation law that may be asserted by the FTC, the Antitrust Division, any State Attorney General or any other Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger so as to enable the consummation thereof as promptly as reasonably practicable and shall defend through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in any court by any party, including appeals. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent shall propose, negotiate, commit to and effect, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of such assets or businesses of Parent or, effective as of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation, or their respective Subsidiaries or otherwise commit to take any action which it is capable of taking, take or commit to take such action that limits its freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, any of the businesses, services or assets of Parent, Holdco, the Surviving Corporation or their respective Subsidiaries, in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or Proceeding, which would otherwise have the effect of preventing or delaying the consummation of the Merger. At the request of Parent, the Company shall agree to divest, hold separate or otherwise take or commit to take any action that limits its freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, any of the businesses, services, or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, provided that any such action shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nor anything else contained in this Agreement, Parent shall not be required to sell, divest or otherwise dispose of, hold separate, enter into any license or similar agreement with respect to, restrict the ownership or operation of, or agree to sell, divest or otherwise dispose of, hold separate, enter into any license or similar agreement with respect to, or restrict the ownership or operation of (A) any assets or businesses of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) any assets or businesses of Parent or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries, in either case, to the extent that such sale, divestiture, disposition, or agreement would have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, financial condition or results of operations of the combined business of Fresenius Kabi AG and the Company after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each party shall (i) promptly notify the other party of any material communication to that party from the FTC, the Antitrust Division, any State Attorney General or any other Governmental Entity and, subject to applicable law, discuss with and permit the other party to review in advance any proposed written communication to any of the foregoing; (ii) not agree to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion with any Governmental Entity in respect of any filings, investigation or inquiry concerning this Agreement or the Merger unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate thereat; and (iii) furnish the other party with copies of all correspondence, filings, and communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between them and their Affiliates and their respective representatives on the one hand, and any Governmental Entity or members of their respective staffs on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the Merger.

(ii) assist Parent with the preparation of materials for rating agency presentations necessary and customary in connection with the Financing and participate in customary meetings, presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions and drafting sessions and sessions with rating agencies;

(iii) assist Parent with the preparation of an offering memorandum, in accordance with customary practices for an offering under Rule 144A under the Securities Act; provided that any offering memoranda or prospectuses need not be issued by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(iv) furnish Parent with financial and other pertinent information regarding the Company as may be reasonably requested by Parent to consummate the Financing of the type and form customarily included in private placements under Rule 144A under the Securities Act; and

(v) assist Parent in procuring accountants’ comfort letters and consents, payoff letters, lien releases, legal opinions, surveys and title insurance as reasonably requested by Parent;

(vi) provide and execute customary officer’s certificates and other similar documents as may be reasonably requested by Parent so long as no such document is effective until the occurrence of the Closing Date; and

(vii) take all corporate actions, subject to the occurrence of the Effective Time, reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the consummation of the Financing.

(d) Parent shall, promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all out-of-pocket costs and third-party expenses incurred by the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective representatives in connection with the cooperation set forth in Section 6.6(c). Nothing contained in Section 6.6(c) shall require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur any other liability in connection with the Financing (including, without limitation, entering into a purchase agreement with respect to the issuance of securities under Rule 144A under the Securities Act) prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors and other representatives for and against any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing and any information utilized in connection therewith except with respect to information supplied by the Company specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference therein.

(e) Subject to compliance with all applicable laws, the Company and Parent, as the case may be, shall confer on a regular basis with each other, report on operational matters and shall promptly advise each other orally and in writing upon becoming aware of any change or event having, or which would be reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. Furthermore, the Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent, Holdco or Sub shall give prompt notice to the Company, upon becoming aware (i) that any representation or warranty made by it in this Agreement has become untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, (ii) of any condition, event or circumstance that will result in any of the conditions in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.3(a) not being met, or (iii) of the failure by it to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of, or the conditions to the obligations of, the parties hereto under this Agreement.

(f) The Company and Parent shall promptly provide each other (or their respective counsel) copies of all filings made by such party or its Subsidiaries with the SEC or any other Governmental Entity in connection with this Agreement and the Merger.

Section 6.7 Financing.

(a) Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and consummate the

Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Financing Documents, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) satisfy on a timely basis all terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the Financing Documents; (ii) enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Financing Documents (except in connection with the equity financing); (iii) enforce its rights under the Financing Documents (including by taking enforcement action to cause the Banks and their respective Affiliates party to the Financing Documents to fund the Financing); and (iv) consummate the Financing at or prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to extend the term of the debt portion of the Financing up to and including June 30, 2009. Parent will furnish correct and complete copies of all such definitive agreements to the Company promptly upon their execution, provided that these copies may be redacted or blackened to the effect that the pricing and other confidential information related to Parent’s business and the Banks are not disclosed, so long as the redacted or blackened provisions are not necessary to understand any conditions to the Financing. Prior to the expiration of the equity commitment of Deutsche Bank AG contained in the Financing Documents (as such commitment may be extended from time to time) but no later than the Closing, Parent agrees to draw upon such equity commitment in full and hold separate the proceeds of such equity issuance to fund the Cash Consideration.

(b) Parent shall keep the Company informed with respect to all material activity concerning the status of the Financing contemplated by the Financing Documents and shall give the Company prompt notice of any material adverse change with respect to such Financing. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent agrees to notify the Company promptly, and in any event within two Business Days, if at any time (i) any Financing Document shall expire or be terminated for any reason, (ii) any financing source that is a party to any Financing Document notifies Parent that such source no longer intends to provide financing to Parent on the terms set forth therein, or (iii) for any reason Parent no longer believes in good faith that it will be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing contemplated by the Financing Documents on the terms described therein. Parent shall not amend or alter, or agree to amend or alter, any Financing Document in any manner that would prevent or materially impair or delay the consummation of the Merger without the prior written consent of the Company.

(c) If any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Financing Documents or any Financing Document shall be terminated or modified in a manner materially adverse to Parent for any reason, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange to obtain alternative financing from alternative sources in an amount sufficient to consummate the Merger (“Alternate Financing”). To the extent applicable, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange promptly and consummate the Alternate Financing, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) satisfy on a timely basis all terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the Alternate Financing; (ii) enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Alternate Financing (except in connection with the equity financing, as applicable); (iii) enforce its rights under the Alternate Financing; and (iv) consummate the Alternate Financing at or prior to the Closing. Parent shall keep Company informed on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Alternate Financing and shall, upon request, provide copies of all documents related to the Alternate Financing to the Company, provided that these copies may be redacted or blackened to the effect that the pricing and other confidential information related to Parent’s business are not disclosed. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that (a) all or any portion of the Financing structured as a high-yield financing has not been consummated, and (b) all closing conditions contained in Article VII (other than the delivery of the officers’ certificates contemplated in Section 7.2 and Section 7.3) shall have been satisfied or waived, then Parent shall cause the proceeds of the bridge financing contemplated by the Financing Documents to be used to replace such high-yield financing no later than the date specified for Closing in Section 2.8.

(d) Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to execute definitive agreements consistent with the Financing Documents (except in connection with the equity financing) as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof but in any event within 45 days after the date hereof.

Section 6.8 Completion of the Spin-Off. The Company shall, and shall cause the relevant Company Subsidiary to, at the cost and expense of the Company or Abraxis BioScience, Inc., as applicable, use reasonable best efforts to effect, as promptly as practicable, the transfers of any assets (including Intellectual Property), liabilities, businesses and employees and the distributions, dissolutions and divestitures substantially as described in Section 3.19 of the Disclosure Schedule in accordance with the provisions of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

Section 6.9 Benefit Plans.

(a) For the period beginning on the Effective Time and ending not less than two years following the Effective Time, Parent agrees to cause the Surviving Corporation (i) to at least maintain the base salary or base wages of the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and (ii) to either (x) at least maintain the Employee Benefit Plans (other than equity-based benefits) in effect on the date of this Agreement or (y) provide employee benefits (other than equity-based benefits) to each current employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries that are substantially similar in the aggregate to such employees than those benefits in effect for such employees on the date of this Agreement. For a period of two years from the Closing Date, Parent shall provide to the employees of the Surviving Corporation equity-based awards substantially similar to those which are provided by Parent to its similarly situated employees.

(b) In addition to the agreement set forth in Section 6.9(a), from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Company or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, to honor the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under the Employee Benefit Plans and the Material Employment Agreements in accordance with their respective terms (as in effect on the date of this Agreement), and the Company or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall perform the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under such Employee Benefit Plans and Material Employment Agreements, including, without limitation, the Company’s severance, retention, change in control and bonus plans and policies, provided that for purposes of this provision, the words “in an amount or having a value in excess of $125,000 per year or $500,000 in the aggregate” in the definition of Material Employment Agreement will not be given effect. In addition, each of Parent, Holdco and the Surviving Corporation shall assume the obligations of the Company under all existing indemnification agreements between the Company and its directors, officers and employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall limit the ability of the Company or the Surviving Corporation to amend or terminate any Employee Benefit Plan, Material Employment Agreement or indemnity agreement following the Effective Time, to the extent permitted by any such agreement.

(c) To the extent that employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries become eligible to participate in any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement maintained by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including any severance plan), then for all purposes, including determining eligibility to participate, vesting, early retirement and benefit accrual, service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time shall be treated as service with Parent or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits. In addition, Parent shall take such action as may be necessary so that all such plans shall waive any pre-existing conditions, actively-at-work exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation by and coverage of such employees and shall provide that any expenses, co-payments, and deductibles paid or incurred on or before the Effective Time by or on behalf of any such employees shall be taken into account under applicable Parent benefit plans for purposes of satisfying applicable deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket provisions.

(d) Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, comply with the provisions set forth on Section 6.9(d) of the Disclosure Schedule.

(e) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 6.9 are included for the sole benefit of the respective parties hereto and shall not create any right in any other person, including, without limitation, any current or former employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any participant in any Employee Benefit Plan or any beneficiary thereof.

Section 6.10 Fees and Expenses.

(a) Except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated.

(b) Subject to Section 6.10(d), the Company agrees to pay Parent a fee equal to $140 million if this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(d) (in which case, the fee shall be payable at the time of termination).

(c) The fee payable pursuant to Section 6.10(b) shall be made by wire transfer of same day funds. The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in Section 6.10(b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Parent, Holdco and Sub would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company fails to promptly pay the amount due pursuant to Section 6.10(b), and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent, Holdco or Sub commences a suit which results in a binding nonappealable judgment rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction against the Company for the fee set forth in Section 6.10(b), the Company shall pay to Parent, Holdco or Sub its reasonable documented costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit.

(d) Parent agrees that the payment provided for in Section 6.10(b) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent upon termination of this Agreement under circumstances giving rise to an obligation (or potential obligation) of the Company to pay the amounts set forth in Section 6.10(b) and such remedy shall be limited to the aggregate of the sums stipulated in such Section 6.10(b). In no event shall the Company be required to pay to Parent more than one termination fee pursuant to Section 6.10(b).

Section 6.11 Related Agreements. At or prior to the Closing, each of Parent and Holdco will duly adopt, execute and deliver, and shall ensure that a duly qualified Trustee executes and delivers, the CVR Indenture, subject to any reasonable revisions to the CVR Indenture that are requested by such Trustee.

Section 6.12 Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby shall be a joint release mutually agreed upon by the Company and Parent. Thereafter, Parent, Holdco and Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall use reasonable efforts to consult with each other before issuing, and provide each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, unless it has made reasonable efforts to do the foregoing, shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange.

Section 6.13 Holdco. Parent will take all action necessary (a) to cause Holdco to perform its obligations under this Agreement to consummate the Merger on the terms and conditions set

forth in this Agreement and (b) to ensure that, prior to the Effective Time, Holdco shall not conduct any business or make any investments other than as specifically contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.14 Sub. Parent will take all action necessary (a) to cause Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement to consummate the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and (b) to ensure that, prior to the Effective Time, Sub shall not conduct any business or make any investments other than as specifically contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.15 Repayment of Credit Agreement. At the Closing, Parent shall cause to be repaid all amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

Section 6.16 Tax Matters.

(a) Holdco shall assume liability for and pay all sales, use, transfer, real property transfer, documentary, recording, gains, stock transfer and similar Taxes and fees, and any deficiency, interest or penalty asserted with respect thereto (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) arising out of or in connection with the transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement. The Company shall cooperate with Holdco as to the filing of all necessary documentation and Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes.

(b) Each of: (i) the Company, (ii) the Stockholders (as defined in the Written Consent and Voting Agreement) and any other PSS Entity (as defined in the Written Consent and Voting Agreement) that is the beneficial owner of shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (iii) Parent, Holdco, and Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to deliver to Tax Counsel a letter (such letters, the “Tax Opinion Representation Letters”), dated as of the Closing Date, containing representations as shall be reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable Tax Counsel to render the Tax Opinion to the Company, and substantially in the form attached hereto as part of Exhibit D. As used in this Agreement, “Tax Opinion” means the opinion described in clause (ii)(A) of Section 4.02(b) of the Tax Allocation Agreement, such opinion to be addressed and delivered to the Company and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Abraxis BioScience, Inc. and substantially in the form attached hereto as part of Exhibit D, and “Tax Counsel” means Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP (“Fried Frank”) or, if Fried Frank is unable or unwilling to render the Tax Opinion, another nationally recognized law firm reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent. The Company will submit the form of Tax Opinion to Abraxis BioScience, Inc. for consideration as promptly as possible.

(c) From the Closing Date until November 13, 2009, neither Parent nor any Affiliate of Parent shall cause the Company to fail to be engaged in the conduct of the active trade or business relied upon for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Section 355(b) of the Code for purposes of the Private Letter Ruling (as that term is defined in the Separation and Distribution Agreement.)

Section 8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after receipt of Stockholder Approval:

(a) by mutual written consent of Parent and the Company;

(b) by either Parent or the Company:

(i) if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before March 31, 2009 (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section

8.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Termination Date; provided further, that if the only condition or conditions (other than delivery of the officers’ certificates contemplated in Section 7.2 and Section 7.3) not capable of being satisfied prior to the Termination Date is the condition or conditions set forth in Section 7.1(d) and/or Section 7.1(e), Parent or the Company may elect to extend the Termination Date until June 30, 2009, so long as Parent is able to extend the applicable financing commitment for the debt portion of the Financing set forth in the Financing Documents on commercially reasonably terms to June 30, 2009; or

(ii) if any U.S. federal or state court shall have issued or entered a permanent injunction or other order that is in effect preventing or prohibiting the consummation of the Merger and such injunction or order shall have become final and nonappealable; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement (including such party’s obligations set forth in Section 6.6) has been the cause of, or resulted in, such action;

(c) by Parent, if the Company breaches or fails to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement, in any case, as a result of which a condition set forth in Section 7.2 will not be able to be satisfied prior to or as of the Termination Date or waived by Parent (provided that Parent, Holdco or Sub is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement);

(d) by the Company, prior to the date that is 25 Business Days after the date of this Agreement in order to concurrently enter into a letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or similar agreement with respect to any Superior Proposal, provided that the Company has complied with the terms of Section 6.4; provided, further, that if the Company shall have received an Acquisition Proposal that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, during such 25-Business Day period, constitutes either a Superior Proposal or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal (such proposal, an “Excluded Proposal”), the Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) after such 25-Business Day period in order to enter into a letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other similar agreement with respect to an Excluded Proposal with the third party that has made the Excluded Proposal; provided, however, that the Company’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this clause (d) shall in any event terminate 40 Business Days following the date of this Agreement; or

(e) by the Company, if Parent, Holdco or Sub breaches or fails to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement, in any case, as a result of which a condition set forth in Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b) will not be able to be satisfied prior to or as of the Termination Date (provided that the Company is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement).

For the avoidance of doubt, if an Acquisition Proposal (other than an Acquisition Proposal made by the same party who made an Excluded Proposal) is received after the date that is 25 Business Days after the date of this Agreement, the Company may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (d) of this Section 8.1 above with respect to such Acquisition Proposal.

In the event of termination of this Agreement by either the Company or Parent as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any liability or obligation on the part of Parent, Holdco, Sub or the Company, other than the last sentence of Section 6.5, Section 6.10, this Section 8.2 and Section 9.6, which provisions shall survive such termination, and provided that nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for any knowing and material breach hereof.

Section 8.3 Amendment. Subject to applicable law, this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time before or after receipt of the Stockholder Approval. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

Section 8.4 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties hereto may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or (c) subject to the proviso of Section 8.3, waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement (provided, that a waiver must be in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective). Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

Section 8.5 Procedure for Termination, Amendment, Extension or Waiver. A termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 or an amendment of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.3 shall, in order to be effective, require in the case of Parent, Holdco, Sub or the Company, action by its Board of Directors or applicable governing body or the duly authorized designee thereof.
