     AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), made and entered into August 21, 2005 by and among OSI PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), MERGER EP CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and EYETECH PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Parent, Merger Sub and the Company are sometimes referred to herein each individually as a “Party” and, collectively, as the “Parties.”
     WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have each declared it to be advisable and in the best interests of each corporation and their respective stockholders that Parent acquire the Company in order to advance each of their long-term business interests; and
     WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have each approved this Agreement and the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and the terms and conditions set forth herein, which Merger will result in, among other things, the Company becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent and the stockholders of the Company becoming stockholders of Parent; and
     WHEREAS, as a condition to the willingness of, and an inducement to, Parent and Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement, contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement certain holders of shares of the Company’s common stock are entering into voting agreements in substantially the form of Exhibit A attached hereto and with such changes therein as are agreeable to Parent (the “Voting Agreements”).
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows.
1. THE MERGER
     1.1 The Merger. In accordance with the DGCL and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company. From and after the

 


 

Closing, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company, as the surviving corporation in the Merger, shall continue its existence under the laws of the State of Delaware as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. The Company as the surviving corporation after the Merger is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation.”
     1.2 Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section 7, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver, as the case may be, of the conditions set forth in Section 6, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at a time and on a date to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties (the “Closing Date”), which date shall be no later than the second Business Day (as defined below) after all the conditions set forth in Section 6 (excluding conditions that, by their nature, cannot be satisfied until the Closing, it being understood that the occurrence of the Closing shall remain subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions) shall have been satisfied or waived, unless another time and/or date is agreed to in writing by the Parties. The Closing shall take place at the offices of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C., 666 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10017, unless another place is agreed to in writing by the Parties. For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” shall mean any day other than Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday on which banks are permitted to be closed in New York, New York.
     1.3 Filing of Certificate of Merger. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the Parties shall cause the Merger to become effective by causing the Surviving Corporation to execute and file in accordance with the DGCL a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Certificate of Merger”). The Merger shall become effective upon such filing, or at such later date and time as is agreed to by Parent and the Company and set forth in the Certificate of Merger (the “Effective Time”).
     1.4 Effect of the Merger. Upon the Closing, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in Section 259 of the DGCL.
     1.5 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, (a) the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company shall be amended to read in its entirety in the form set forth as Exhibit B hereto, and, as so amended, until amended as provided therein and under the DGCL, it shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the

2


 

Surviving Corporation, and (b) the Bylaws of the Merger Sub immediately prior to the Closing shall become the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until amended as provided therein and under the DGCL and the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation.
     1.6 Directors and Officers. Subject to the requirements of Law (as defined in Section 1.7(c)), the directors and officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Closing shall be the initial directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their respective successors are 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 Bylaws.
     1.7 Conversion of Company Common Stock, Etc.
     At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parties or the holders of the following securities:
          (a) Each share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Company Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, including any shares of common stock subject to a repurchase right, but excluding Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares as each are defined below, shall be converted automatically into the right to receive (i) $15.00 per share in cash (the “Per Share Cash Consideration”) and (ii) 0.12275 fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of Parent, par $0.01 par value per share (“Parent Common Stock”) (the “Exchange Ratio”), subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 1.11.
          (b) At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate which previously represented any such share of Company Common Stock (each, a “Company Certificate” and, collectively, the “Company Certificates”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive cash and the shares of Parent Common Stock such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 1.7 together with cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any, of Parent Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 1.12 hereof, in each case without interest

3


 

(such cash and shares of Parent Common Stock together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares being referred to herein as the “Merger Consideration”) and subject to Section 1.7(c) below.
          (b) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.7, any shares of the Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a person who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance with the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration, unless such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses its rights to appraisal or it is determined that such holder does not have appraisal rights in accordance with the DGCL. If, after the Closing, such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses its right to appraisal, or if it is determined that such holder does not have appraisal rights, such shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. The Company shall give Parent and Merger Sub prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares, and Parent and Merger Sub shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands except as required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign statute, law, regulation, legal requirement or rule, ordinance or code of any Governmental Authority (as such term is defined in Section 2.4(d) of this Agreement) (“Law”). The Company shall not, except with prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, unless and to the extent required to do so under Law.
     1.8 Cancellation of Shares. At the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock either owned by the Company as treasury stock or owned by Parent or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary (as defined in Section 2.2(e)) of Parent or the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, “Excluded Shares”), shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or payment therefor.
     1.9 Company Stock Options and Stock Purchase Plans.
          (a) At the Effective Time, all unexercised options to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (the “Company Stock Options”) then outstanding under the stock option plans listed in Section 1.9(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (together, the

4


 

Company Stock Option Plans”), other than the Company Stock Options issued under the Company’s 2001 Stock Plan (collectively, the “2001 Plan Options”), will be terminated or cancelled, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of such Company Stock Option Plans and the agreements entered into under such Company Stock Option Plans. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall give any notice required by the Company Stock Option Plans (other than the Company’s 2001 Stock Plan), which notice shall have been provided to Parent for its review prior to delivery, to holders of Company Stock Options (other than 2001 Plan Options) of (i) the acceleration in full of the vesting of such Company Stock Options, effective as of a date determined by the Company on or prior to the date of the Effective Time and (ii) the termination or cancellation, as the case may be, upon the Closing of any unexercised Company Stock Options.
          (b) At the Effective Time, each outstanding 2001 Plan Option, whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed by Parent and shall become an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the Company’s 2001 Stock Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock determined as follows:
               (i) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each 2001 Plan Option assumed by Parent shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such 2001 Plan Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Option Conversion Ratio (as defined below), and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock; and
               (ii) the per share exercise price for the Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each 2001 Plan Option shall be determined by dividing the per share exercise price of Company Common Stock subject to such 2001 Plan Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by the Option Conversion Ratio, and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent.
          (c) Any restriction on the exercise of any 2001 Plan Option assumed by Parent shall continue in full force and effect and the term, exercisability, vesting schedule and other provisions of such 2001 Plan Option shall otherwise remain unchanged as a result of the

5


 

assumption of such 2001 Plan Option, in each case except to the extent otherwise provided in any stock option, change in control or in any retention agreement in effect on the date of this Agreement. The “Option Conversion Ratio” shall be equal to 0.491.
          (d) Within five Business Days following the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver to the participants in the Company’s 2001 Stock Plan an appropriate notice setting forth such participants’ rights pursuant to the 2001 Plan Options, as provided in this Section 1.9.
          (e) Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of the 2001 Plan Options assumed in accordance with this Section 1.9. Within two (2) Business Days following the Effective Time, Parent shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form) or another appropriate form with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such 2001 Plan Options and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such options remain outstanding.
          (f) The Company and Parent shall each take all corporate and other action reasonably necessary to cause all dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including Company Stock Options) or acquisitions of equity securities of Parent (including any options to acquire Parent Common Stock that may be granted by Parent) by each individual who (i) is a director or officer of the Company or (ii) at the Effective Time will become a director or officer of Parent, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.
          (g) At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase Shares under the Company’s 2003 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) shall be treated in the manner set forth in Section 5.5.
          (h) At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock that are subject to a Repurchase Right or a Right of Repurchase (as such terms are defined in each applicable Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement or Stock Option Agreement, as the case may be, between such holder of Company Common Stock and the Company (each, a “Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement”)) shall be automatically converted on the same basis as all other

6


 

shares of Company Common Stock (other than shares cancelled pursuant to Section 1.8 or which are Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 1.7), except that the Merger Consideration issued in connection with such conversion shall remain subject to a Repurchase Right in accordance with the terms set forth in the applicable Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement.
     1.10 Capital Stock of Merger Sub.
     Each share of common stock of Merger Sub, $0.01 par value per share (“Merger Sub Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted automatically into one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, $0.01 par value per share. From and after the Effective Time, each stock certificate of Merger Sub which previously represented shares of Merger Sub Common Stock shall evidence ownership of an equal number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
     1.11 Adjustments to Exchange Ratio.
     The Exchange Ratio and the Option Conversion Ratio (and, in the case of any of the matters described in this Section 1.11 with respect to Company Common Stock, the Per Share Cash Consideration) shall each be appropriately adjusted, at any time and from time to time, to fully reflect the effect of any reclassification, stock split, reverse split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock, as the case may be), reorganization, recapitalization or other like change with respect to Parent Common Stock or, if permitted by the terms of Section 4.1, Company Common Stock, as the case may be, occurring (or for which a record date occurs) during the Interim Period (as defined in Section 4.1).
     1.12 No Fractional Shares. No certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender of Company Certificates for exchange, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Parent. Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock exchanged pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all Company Certificates delivered by such holder) shall receive from Parent, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such

7


 

fractional part of a share of Parent Common Stock multiplied by the Closing Average. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Closing Average” shall be the volume weighted average sale price per share of Parent Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest cent) on the Nasdaq National Market (“NNM”) for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on the second-to-last trading day immediately prior to the Closing Date.
     1.13 Exchange of Certificates. The procedures for exchanging outstanding shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger are set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto, which is incorporated by reference herein as if set forth in full.
     1.14 No Liability. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, none of the Exchange Agent (as defined in Exhibit C), Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to a holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any shares of Parent Common Stock or any amount of cash properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. Any portion of the Merger Consideration that remains unclaimed by the holders of Company Common Stock as of the date which is immediately prior to the date that such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any government entity, shall, to the extent permitted by Law, become the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any person entitled thereto, or their successors, assigns or personal representatives.
     1.15 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time and from time to time after the Closing, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest in the Surviving Corporation full right, title and possession of all properties, assets, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be and are fully authorized, in the name of and on behalf of any of the Company, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, to take, or cause to be taken, all such lawful and necessary action as is not inconsistent with this Agreement.
2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY
     Except as set forth in (I) the disclosure schedule provided by the Company to Parent on the date hereof (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”) or (II) the Company SEC Reports, the Company represents and warrants to Parent that the statements contained in this Section 2 are true and correct. The Company Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in paragraphs

8


 

corresponding to the numbered and lettered paragraphs contained in this Section 2, and the disclosure in any paragraph shall qualify (A) the corresponding paragraph of this Section 2, and (B) the other paragraphs of this Section 2 to the extent that it is apparent from a reading of the Company Disclosure Schedule, without reference to anything other than the Company Disclosure Schedule, it also qualifies or applies to such other paragraphs. As used in this Agreement, a “Company Material Adverse Effect” means any change, event or effect that is materially adverse to the business, assets (including intangible assets), financial condition, or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or on the Company’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, provided that none of the following shall constitute or shall be considered in determining whether there has occurred a Company Material Adverse Effect:
          (a) general economic conditions worldwide, in the United States, or in any nation or region in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has a substantial presence or operations, except to the extent disproportionately affecting the Company and its Subsidiaries relative to other industry participants;
          (b) any acts of terrorism not directed at the Company or any outbreak of war;
          (c) the public announcement by the Parties of this Agreement, the pendency of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby, or any action taken which is required by this Agreement or specifically requested by Parent or consented to by Parent, in each case including losses of employees or any stockholder litigation arising from or relating to the Merger;
          (d) factors generally affecting the industries or markets in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate, except to the extent disproportionately affecting the Company and its Subsidiaries relative to other industry participants;
          (e) changes in Law not specifically directed at the Company or its Subsidiaries or generally accepted accounting principles or the interpretation thereof not specifically directed at the Company or its Subsidiaries;

9


 

          (f) any failure by the Company to meet any Company or published securities analyst estimates of revenues or earnings for any period ending on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing; provided, however, that this clause shall not exclude any underlying change, event, circumstance, development or effect that may have resulted in or contributed to the Company’s failure to meet such published securities analyst estimates of revenues or earnings for any such period; and
          (g) a decline in the trading price or change in trading volume of the Company Common Stock, provided that this clause will not exclude any underlying change, event, circumstance, development or effect that may have resulted in, or contributed to, a decline in trading price or change in trading volume.
     2.1 Organization and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in corporate good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation to conduct business, and is in corporate good standing, under the laws of each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it, or the nature of its activities, makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified, licensed or in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Complete and correct copies of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, each as in effect on the date of this Agreement, are on file as exhibits to the Company SEC Reports.
     2.2 Subsidiaries.
          (a) Except as set forth in Section 2.2(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, Exhibit 21.1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 sets forth a complete and correct list of each Subsidiary of the Company as of the date of this Agreement.

10


 

are applicable), under the laws of each jurisdiction where the character of the properties and other assets owned, leased or operated by it, or the nature of its activities, makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified, licensed or in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.
          (b) All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of, or other equity interests in, each Subsidiary of the Company are: (i) duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable (to the extent such concepts are applicable); (ii) owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company (other than directors’ qualifying shares in the case of foreign Subsidiaries) free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests, pledges and similar encumbrances (collectively, “Liens”); and (iii) free of any restriction which prevents the payment of dividends to the Company or any other Subsidiary of the Company, or which otherwise restricts the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such capital stock or other ownership interest, other than restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and state securities Law.
          (c) None of the Company’s Subsidiaries is required to file any forms, reports or other documents with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

          (u) enter into any agreement or contract to do any of the foregoing.
     4.2 No Solicitation of Transactions.
          (a) The Company shall, and shall direct its officers, directors, employees, auditors, attorneys and financial advisors and any other agents (each, a “Representative”) to, immediately cease any discussions, negotiations or written communications (other than communications solely directed at informing other parties of the restrictions contained in this Section 4.2 and only in response to an inquiry from such other parties) with any party or parties that commenced prior to the execution of this Agreement with respect to any Competing Proposal. As used in this Agreement, a “Competing Proposal” means any proposal, offer or indication of interest (other than this Agreement and the Merger), whether in writing or otherwise, from any Person or group (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than Parent, Merger Sub or any Affiliates thereof (a “Third Party”), relating to (i) any acquisition or purchase, directly or indirectly, of more than 20% of the consolidated total assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries or more than 20% of any class of equity or voting securities of the Company; (ii) any tender offer (including a self-tender offer) or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in any Third Party beneficially owning more than 20% of any class of equity or voting securities of the Company; or (iii) a merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, sale of substantially all the assets, reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction involving the Company.
          (b) During the Interim Period, the Company shall not, nor shall it authorize or permit any Representative of the Company or its Subsidiaries to (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage, or otherwise knowingly facilitate, directly or indirectly, any inquiries relating to, any Competing Proposal; (ii) directly or indirectly initiate or participate in any discussions, negotiations or communications (other than communications solely directed at informing other parties of the restrictions contained in this Section 4.2 and only in response to an inquiry from such other parties) regarding any Competing Proposal; or (iii) furnish to any Third Party any nonpublic information or data for the purpose of encouraging or facilitating, or, except as

57


 

required by applicable Law, provide access to the properties, offices, books, records, officers, directors or employees of the Company for the purpose of encouraging or facilitating, any Competing Proposal. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of any of the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.2 by any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a breach by the Company of this Section 4.2 by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if, prior to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Company’s Board of Directors determines (after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor) that a Competing Proposal that did not result from a breach by the Company of this Section 4.2 constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Competing Proposal (as such term is defined below), then the Company may, to the extent that the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith after consultation with the Company’s outside counsel that failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations under applicable law and subject to the Company’s providing prompt (but in any event within 48 hours) written notice to Parent of its decision to take such action and compliance by the Company with Section 4.2(d), (A) furnish information or data with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to such Third Party (and the Representatives of such Third Party); (B) participate in discussions and negotiations (including solicitations of a revised Competing Proposal by such Third Party) directly or through its Representatives with such Third Party, subject to, in the case of clause (A) and, to the extent such discussions or negotiations include the disclosure by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their Representatives of any material nonpublic information, clause (B), a confidentiality agreement not materially less favorable to the Company than the Confidentiality Agreement (it being understood that any such confidentiality agreement into which the Company may enter pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall not be required to contain a standstill provision if, prior to or substantially concurrently with the execution of any such confidentiality agreement, the Company releases Parent from its standstill obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement), provided, that all such nonpublic information (other than any immaterial information) not already provided or made available to the Parent is provided to the Parent as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within 48 hours) after it is provided to such Third Party; and (C) amend, or grant a waiver or release under, any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any Company Common Stock, but only to the extent necessary to permit the making and subsequent consummation of a Competing Proposal by a Third Party. For

58


 

purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Competing Proposal” shall mean a bona fide written proposal or offer made by a Third Party to acquire, directly or indirectly, including pursuant to a tender offer, exchange offer, sale of shares of stock, sale of assets, merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction, more than 50% of the capital stock of the Company then outstanding or more than 50% of the consolidated total assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (i) on terms the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consulting the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisor) are more favorable to the holders of Company Common Stock than the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, taking into account, among other things, relevant legal, financial, regulatory, timing and other aspects of the offer and the Third Party making the offer and the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (ii) which is reasonably capable of being consummated.
          (c) Neither the Company’s Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw or modify, or publicly propose or publicly resolve to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub the Board Recommendation; (ii) approve or recommend, or publicly propose or publicly resolve to approve or recommend, any Competing Proposal; (iii) approve or recommend, or execute or enter into, or publicly propose or publicly resolve to approve or recommend, any letter of intent, agreement in principle, merger agreement, stock purchase agreement, asset purchase agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement or similar agreement relating to a Competing Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 4.2(b) entered into in the circumstances referred to in Section 4.2(b)) (an “Acquisition Agreement”); (iv) approve or recommend, or execute or enter into, or publicly propose or publicly resolve to approve or recommend, any agreement requiring it to terminate this Agreement or abandon or fail to consummate the Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby; or (v) take any action necessary to render the provisions of any “moratorium”, “control share”, “fair price”, “affiliate transaction”, “business combination”, or other anti-takeover laws and regulations of any state or other jurisdiction, including the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL, inapplicable to any Competing Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, prior to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Company’s Board of Directors may, in response to a Superior Competing Proposal that did not result from a breach by the Company of this Section 4.2, (1) withdraw or modify the Board

59


 

Recommendation, (2) approve or recommend the Superior Competing Proposal or (3) terminate the Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1(h), but in the case of any action contemplated by clause (1) or any recommendation contemplated by clause (2), only (x) if the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside counsel, that failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations under applicable law, and in each case, only (y) at a time that is after 48 hours following Parent’s receipt of written notice advising Parent that the Company’s Board of Directors is prepared to take such action (during which period the Company shall make its chief financial officer and its counsel available to Parent to meet on at least two separate occasions for a total of at least 12 hours, and shall consider in good faith any amendment of the terms of the Merger proposed by Parent or Merger Sub or any proposal by Parent or Merger Sub to amend the terms of this Agreement or the Merger), specifying therein the material terms and conditions of such Superior Competing Proposal and identifying the Person or group making such Superior Competing Proposal, and (z) if, after the end of such 48-hour period, the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and its financial advisor) that such proposed transaction continues to be a Superior Competing Proposal, after taking into account any bona fide proposal by Parent or Merger Sub to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Merger, which proposal shall be binding during such 48-hour period and capable of acceptance by the Company. The Company shall not during the term of this Agreement release any Third Party from, or agree to amend or waive any provision of, any confidentiality agreement with any Third Party with respect to a Competing Proposal entered into pursuant to this Section 4.2 other than the standstill provision as provided above, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to enforce, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, each confidentiality agreement entered into pursuant to this Section 4.2. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, prior to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Company’s Board of Directors may withdraw or modify the Board Recommendation if the Company’s Board of Directors determines, after consultation with outside counsel, that failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations under applicable law, but only at a time that is after 48 hours (or such shorter period as the Company’s Board of Directors may determine in good faith is required to comply with its fiduciary obligations under applicable law) following Parent’s receipt of written notice advising Parent

60


 

that the Company’s Board of Directors is prepared to take such action, specifying the reasons therefore.
          (d) In addition to the obligations set forth in Sections 4.2(a), (b) and (c), the Company shall notify Parent orally and, if requested by Parent, in writing, within 48 hours of the receipt by the Company of any Competing Proposal, which notification shall include the material terms and conditions of such Competing Proposal and the identity of the person or group making or sending the Competing Proposal. The Company shall promptly (but in any event within 48 hours) advise Parent of any material change in the terms or conditions of a Competing Proposal or any other material development with respect thereto.
          (e) Nothing contained in this Section 4.2 or any other provision hereof shall prohibit the Company or the Company’s Board of Directors from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company’s stockholders pursuant to Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act a position with respect to a tender or exchange offer by a Third Party or (ii) making any disclosure to the Company’s stockholders, if the Company’s Board of Directors determines, after consultation with its outside counsel, that failure to so disclose would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law.
          (f) Nothing in this Section 4.2 shall permit the Company to terminate this Agreement (except as expressly provided in Section 7).
5. ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
     5.1 Proxy Statement/Prospectus; Registration Statement.

          (d) The Parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement, the Registration Statement and the Other Filings to comply in all material respects with all requirements of Law. Whenever any event or circumstance occurs which is required under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other Law to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, the Registration Statement or any Other Filing, each Party shall promptly upon becoming aware thereof inform the other of such occurrence and the relevant Party shall promptly prepare an amendment, supplement or filing, as appropriate, accurately describing such event or circumstance and provide the other Party reasonable opportunity under the circumstances to review and comment, and cooperate in filing with the SEC, its staff or any other Governmental Authority, and/or mailing to stockholders of the Company, such amendment or supplement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) the Company agrees that its obligation to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Special Meeting as required by this Section 5.2 shall not be affected by the withdrawal, amendment or modification of the Board Recommendation; and (ii) the Company agrees that its obligations under this Section 5.2 shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company of any Superior Competing Proposal.
          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company, after consultation with Parent, may adjourn or postpone the Special Meeting to the extent necessary to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is provided to the Company’s stockholders or, if as of the time for which the Special Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement) there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Company Meeting.
     5.3 Access to Information; Confidentiality.
          (a) Upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours and in a manner that does not disrupt or interfere with business operations, Parent and the Company shall (and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to) afford to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives of the other Party reasonable access, during the

63


 

Interim Period, to all its properties, books, contracts, commitments and records and, during such period, furnish promptly to the other Party such information concerning its business, properties and personnel as the other Party may reasonably request. Parent and the Company shall make available to the other, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours and in a manner that does not disrupt or interfere with business operations, the appropriate individuals for discussion of its business, properties and personnel as the other may reasonably request.
          (b) The Parties shall keep all information obtained pursuant to Section 5.3(a) confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement dated July 6, 2005 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), between Parent and the Company.
     5.4 Commercially Reasonable Efforts; Further Assurances.
          (a) Parent and the Company shall use their reasonable best efforts to satisfy or cause to be satisfied all of the conditions precedent that are set forth in Section 6, as applicable to each of them. Each Party, at the reasonable request of the other, shall execute and deliver such other instruments and do and perform such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary and consistent with this Agreement to effect the consummation of the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
          (b) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company and Parent agree to use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to promptly consummate and make effective the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using their respective reasonable best efforts: (i) to obtain prior to the Closing Date all licenses, certificates, permits, consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders of Governmental Authorities and parties to contracts with the Company or its Subsidiaries as are necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) to effect all necessary registrations and filings required by any Governmental Authority (in connection with which Parent and the Company shall cooperate with each other in connection with the making of all such registrations and filings, including providing copies of all such documents to the non-filing party and its advisors prior to the time of such filing and, if requested, will consider in good faith reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested in connection therewith); and

64


 

(iii) to furnish to each other such information and assistance as reasonably may be requested in connection with the foregoing.
          (c) Each of Parent and the Company (i) shall as promptly as practicable and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of the date hereof, make the filings required of such party or any Subsidiary under the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to negotiate with the United States Federal Trade Commission, the United States Department of Justice and/or any other Governmental Authority in respect of such filings to prevent the issuance of any requests for additional information, documents or other materials under the HSR Act; and (iii) shall act in good faith and reasonably cooperate with the other party in connection with any such filing and in connection with resolving any investigation or other inquiry of any such agency or other Governmental Authority under any antitrust Law (“Antitrust Laws”) with respect to any such filing or any such transaction. To the extent not prohibited by Law, each party to this Agreement shall use reasonable best efforts to furnish to each other all information required for any application or other filing to be made pursuant to any Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of the Company and Parent shall give the other reasonably prompt notice of any communication with, and any proposed understanding, undertaking or agreement with, any Governmental Authority regarding any such filings or any such transaction. None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, or Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, shall independently participate in any meeting, or engage in any substantive conversation, with any Governmental Authority in respect of any such filings, investigation or other inquiry without giving the other prior notice (if practicable) of the meeting and discussing with Parent or the Company, as the case may be, the advisability of Parent’s or the Company’s representatives, as the case may be, participating in such meeting or conversation. Each of Parent and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to take such action as may be required to cause the expiration of the notice periods under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as possible after the execution of this Agreement.
          (d) Parent has advised the Company that Parent intends to seek financing of a portion of the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration (“Financing”). The Parties agree that

65


 

such Financing is not a condition to any Party’s obligation to effect the Merger and consummate the other transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with this Agreement, and that Parent and Merger Sub shall be required to proceed with the Closing notwithstanding Parent’s inability or failure to obtain such Financing. The Company agrees that it will use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Parent in connection with Parent’s preparation of offering materials in connection with the Financing (provided that the Company shall not be required to assume any liability therefor). Subject to consent by the Company’s independent accountants, Parent may use the Company’s financial statements in connection with the Financing. In connection therewith, in each case at Parent’s expense, the Company shall (i) provide any source of Financing with access to the Company’s books and records and provide such party with such other information reasonably requested for purposes of verifying the Company’s financial statements (subject to a confidentiality undertaking reasonably acceptable to the Company, and upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours and in a manner that does not disrupt or interfere with the Company’s business operations) and (ii) do such other acts and things, as shall be reasonably requested by Parent or any source of Financing in connection with the same. Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director, officer or Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or relating to the Financing this Section 5.4.
     5.5 Termination of ESPP. The Company shall take actions as are necessary to cause the Exercise Date (as such term is used in the ESPP) applicable to the then current Offering Period (as such term is used in the ESPP) to be the last Business Day on which the Company Common Stock is quoted on the NNM immediately prior to the Closing (the “Final Company Purchase Date”); provided, however, that such change in the Exercise Date shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger. On the Final Company Purchase Date the Company shall apply the funds credited as of such date under the ESPP within each participant’s payroll withholdings account to the purchase of whole shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the ESPP. Any such shares purchased under the ESPP shall be automatically

66


 

converted on the same basis as all other shares of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares), except that, with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock constituting a portion of the Merger Consideration, such shares shall be converted automatically into shares of Parent Common Stock without issuance of certificates representing issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock to ESPP participants.
     5.6 Employee Benefits. Within a reasonable period of time prior to the Effective Time, so as to facilitate a transfer of Company employees who are employed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation or their respective Subsidiaries upon and after the Effective Time (“Continuing Employees”) to the employee benefit plans maintained by Parent or Surviving Corporation or their respective Subsidiaries (“Parent Plans” or “Parent Policy”), the Company shall terminate all Company Employee Plans which are cash or deferred arrangements under Section 401(k) of the Code. In addition, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement and except for any Company Employee Plans providing group medical, dental or vision benefits and any Company Employee Plans covered by Section 125 of the Code (including any attendant health or dependent care flexible spending account arrangements), the Company shall terminate all Company Employee Plans as of the Effective Time. With respect to any Company Employee Plans providing group medical, dental or vision benefits and any Company Employee Plans covered by Section 125 of the Code (including any attendant health or dependent care flexible spending account arrangements), such plans shall continue to be maintained upon and after Effective Time (“Continuing Plans”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Continuing Plans until the end of the applicable Continuing Plan year in which the Effective Time occurs at which time the Surviving Corporation shall terminate such Continuing Plans and Parent shall allow for the participation of former Continuing Plan participants in comparable Parent Plans under the terms and conditions of such comparable Parent Plans to the extent such participants remain employed by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their respective Subsidiaries and who are otherwise eligible for participation in such comparable Parent Plans. Following the Effective Time, Parent will give each Continuing Employee full credit for prior service with the Company or its Subsidiaries for purposes of (a) eligibility, vesting and retirement status (but not benefit accruals) under any comparable Parent Plans and (b) determination of benefit levels under any comparable Parent Plan or Parent Policy relating to vacation or severance. Parent shall make Continuing Employees eligible for

67


 

participation in a 401(k) Plan maintained by Parent or the Surviving Corporation immediately upon the Effective Time, which shall be comparable to the 401(k) Plan maintained by Parent, and allow Continuing Employees to roll over their applicable Company 401(k) Plan accounts at the discretion of Continuing Employees to such 401(k) Plan maintained by Parent or Surviving Corporation provided such rollovers do not adversely affect the tax-qualified status of such 401(k) plan. In addition, Parent shall waive, or cause to be waived, any pre-existing condition limitations to the same extent such limitations are waived under any comparable Parent Plan except to the extent a similar limitation or pre-existing condition limitation existed under the comparable Company Employee Plan. Parent shall give Continuing Employees credit towards any lifetime deductibles or limitations on out of pocket expenses to the extent a Continuing Employee incurred the same with respect to a Company Employee Plan and such deductibles or limitations are applicable under the comparable Parent Plan. Parent shall take all reasonable actions to effectuate the terms and conditions of this Section 5.6 including, without limitation, amending or causing to be amended the comparable Parent Plans.
     5.7 Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, upon becoming aware of (i) the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event, which occurrence or failure to occur would reasonably be expected to result in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate such that the condition in Section 6.2(a) or 6.3(a) would not be satisfied and (ii) any failure of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder such that the condition in Section 6.2(b) or 6.3(b) would not be satisfied; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the Party receiving such notice.

          (b) Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be delivered to the Company a “comfort” letter of KPMG, dated a date within two (2) Business Days before the date on which the Registration Statement shall become effective and addressed to the Company and Parent, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company.
     5.10 Directors and Officers Insurance/Indemnification.
          (a) The Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, purchase a six (6) year extended reporting period endorsement (“reporting tail coverage”) with respect to the Company’s directors and officers liability insurance currently in effect, and maintain such endorsement in full force and effect for its full term, provided that Parent shall not be required to pay more than 275% of the aggregate premium paid by the Company and its Subsidiaries in the year ended December 31, 2004 for such reporting tail coverage, provided, further, should the cost of reporting tail coverage exceed such cap, Parent shall instead purchase the maximum reporting tail coverage available for 275% of the aggregate premium paid by the Company and its subsidiaries in the year ended December 31, 2004. Parent may also request that Company purchase the forgoing coverage on Parent’s behalf prior to the Effective Time and Company shall cooperate with Parent in doing so.
          (b) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless, with respect to claims or events existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, each person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Parties”), against all

69


 

claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party is or was an officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL for officers and directors of Delaware corporations.
          (c) The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain, and Parent shall cause the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation to so contain, provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of present and former directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries than are presently set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company.
          (d) Parent shall pay all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by the persons referred to in this Section 5.10 in connection with their enforcement of their rights provided in this Section 5.10.
          (e) The provisions of this Section are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the current officers and directors of the Company by Law, charter, bylaw or agreement, and shall operate for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties, their heirs and their representatives.
     5.11 Stockholder Litigation.
     The Company shall promptly notify Parent of any stockholder litigation brought, or threatened in writing, against the Company and/or the members of the Board of Directors of the Company relating to the Merger or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall provide Parent with updates and such information as Parent shall reasonably request with respect to the status of the litigation and discussion between the parties thereto. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense of and settlement discussions with respect to (but, in each case, not control) such litigation and the Company shall not make any payment or settlement offer prior to the Effective Time with respect to any such litigation unless Parent shall

70

     5.14 Certain Parent Agreements. Without the prior written agreement of Company, which written agreement shall, in the case of clause (e) below, not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned, Parent agrees not to, prior to Closing, (a) amend Parent’s Certificate of Incorporation in any way adverse to the interests of the stockholders of the Company (including the holders of Company Common Stock who are issued Parent Common Stock in the Merger), (b) amend Merger Sub’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws; (c) engage in any repurchase at a premium, recapitalization, restructuring or reorganization with respect to any of Parent’s capital stock; (d) declare, set aside or pay any extraordinary dividend or other extraordinary distribution (whether in cash, stock or other securities or property, or any combination thereof) in respect of any of Parent’s capital stock other than pursuant to Parent’s Shareholder Rights Plan, adopted September 27, 2000, any amendment thereto, or the adoption of a replacement shareholder rights plan (other than such a replacement plan that would treat the holders of Company Common Stock, as a class, differently than the holders of Parent Common Stock); or (e) acquire (by merger, consolidation, acquisition of stock or assets or otherwise) a significant portion of the capital stock or other equity interests in, or assets of, any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture or other business organization or division thereof, or enter into any definitive agreement with respect thereto, unless such acquisition or the entering into of such definitive agreement (I) would not require any vote of Parent’s stockholders or

71


 

require that any pro forma or other additional financial statements or information be added to the Registration Statement, and (II) would not reasonably be expected to (A) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or increase in any material respect the risk of not obtaining, any authorizations, consents, orders, declarations or approvals of any Governmental Authority necessary to consummate the Merger, (B) increase in any material respect the risk of any Governmental Authority entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby or (C) increase in any material respect the risk of not being able to remove any such order on appeal or otherwise.

     5.16 Consultation.
     In addition to any other requirements set forth herein with respect to the following, the Company agrees, during the Interim Period, to consult with Parent prior to (i) hiring any unbudgeted employees or (ii) entering into any agreement, or amending or waiving the terms of any existing agreement, which grants to any Person supply, manufacturing, warehousing, production, marketing or distribution rights with respect to any of its products or technologies or entering into any material collaboration agreement, material license, co-marketing or copromotion agreement or any other such material agreement with respect to the Company’s Intellectual Property Rights.

          (f) by Parent, if neither Parent nor Merger Sub is in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and if (i) there has been a breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Company herein, which breach would cause the condition set forth in

76


 

Section 6.2(a) not to be satisfied, or (ii) there has been a breach on the part of the Company of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach would cause the condition in Section 6.2(b) not to be satisfied, and, in both case (i) and case (ii), such breach (if curable) has not been cured within thirty (30) days after notice thereof to the Company by Parent, provided such cure period shall not extend beyond the period set forth in Section 7.1(b);
          (g) by the Company, if it is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and if (i) there has been a breach of any of the representations and warranties of Parent or Merger Sub herein, which breach would cause the condition set forth in Section 6.3(a) not to be satisfied, or (ii) there has been a breach on the part of Parent or Merger Sub of any of their respective covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach would cause the condition in Section 6.3(b) not to be satisfied, and, in both case (i) and case (ii), such breach (if curable) has not been cured within thirty (30) days after notice thereof to Parent from the Company, provided such cure period shall not extend beyond the period set forth in Section 7.1(b);

The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without

81


 

limitation.” The word “herein” and similar references mean, except where a specific Section or Section reference is expressly indicated, the entire Agreement rather than any specific Section or Section. The table of contents and the headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

82


 

Agreement.
     8.8 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Party in the exercise of any right hereunder will impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

     2. No Inconsistent Agreements. Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees that, except as contemplated by this Agreement, it (a) has not entered into, and shall not enter at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to the Covered Shares and (b) has not granted, and shall not grant at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, a proxy or power of attorney with respect to the Covered Shares, in either case, which is inconsistent with its obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of, Stockholder’s spouse, enforceable against such Stockholder’s spouse in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equitable Exceptions.
               (iii) No Conflicts. Except for the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, (A) no filing with, and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any state, federal or foreign governmental authority is necessary on the part of Stockholder for the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Stockholder and the consummation by Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby and (B) none of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Stockholder, the consummation by Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby or compliance by Stockholder with any of the provisions hereof will (1) result in any breach or violation of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of a Lien on any Covered Shares pursuant to, any contract to which Stockholder is a party or by which Stockholder or any property or asset of Stockholder is bound or affected or (2) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to Stockholder or any of its properties or assets, except in the case of (2) for violations, breaches or defaults that would not in the aggregate materially impair the ability of Stockholder to perform its obligations hereunder.

A6


 

encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of, any of the Owned Shares or Stock Options (other than the exercise of Stock Options), (ii) grant any proxies or powers of attorney, deposit any Owned Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement with respect to any Owned Shares or (iii) knowingly take any action that would make any representation or warranty of Stockholder contained herein untrue or incorrect in any material respect or have the effect of preventing or disabling Stockholder from performing its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the restrictions and prohibitions on the trading of Owned Shares or Stock Options set forth in this Section 5(b) and elsewhere in this Agreement, Stockholder shall be permitted to effect transactions with respect to Owned Shares and Stock Options pursuant to, and permitted under, approved trading plans established under Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act (“Trading Plans”), provided that such Trading Plans shall be in place on or prior to the date of this Agreement.

A7


 

Agreement or otherwise as a result of any action or inaction by Stockholder in such person’s capacity as a director of the Company and in compliance with Section 4.2 of the Merger Agreement.
     8. No Control. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Parent the right to control or direct the Company or the Company’s operations.
     9. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.
     10. Non-survival of Representations and Warranties. The respective representations and warranties of Stockholder and Parent contained herein shall not survive the Termination Date.

B2


 

     A. The management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation shall be vested in its board of directors (the “Board of Directors”). The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be fixed by, or in the manner provided in, the Corporation’s By-Laws (the “By-laws”).

ARTICLE VII
INDEMNIFICATION
     The Corporation shall provide indemnification as follows:
     1. Actions, Suits and Proceedings Other than by or in the Right of the Corporation. The Corporation shall indemnify each person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of the

B3


 

Corporation, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan) (all such persons being referred to hereafter as an “Indemnitee”), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
     2. Actions or Suits by or in the Right of the Corporation. The Corporation shall indemnify any Indemnitee who was or is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and, to the extent permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made under this Section 2 in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation, unless, and only to the extent, that the Court of Chancery of Delaware

B4


 

shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of such liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which the Court of Chancery of Delaware shall deem proper.
     3. Indemnification for Expenses of Successful Party. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article VII, to the extent that an Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article VII, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, or on appeal from any such action, suit or proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection therewith. Without limiting the foregoing, if any action, suit or proceeding is disposed of, on the merits or otherwise (including a disposition without prejudice), without (i) the disposition being adverse to Indemnitee, (ii) an adjudication that Indemnitee was liable to the Corporation, (iii) a plea of guilty or nolo contendere by Indemnitee, (iv) an adjudication that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and (v) with respect to any criminal proceeding, an adjudication that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, Indemnitee shall be considered for the purposes hereof to have been wholly successful with respect thereto.
     4. Notification and Defense of Claim. As a condition precedent to an Indemnitee’s right to be indemnified, such Indemnitee must notify the Corporation in writing as soon as practicable of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving such Indemnitee for which indemnity will or could be sought. With respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation of which the Corporation is so notified, the Corporation will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense and/or to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee. After notice from the Corporation to Indemnitee of its election so to assume such defense, the Corporation shall not be liable to Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, other than as provided below in this Section 4. Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his or her own counsel in connection with such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the

B5


 

Corporation of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized by the Corporation, (ii) counsel to Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest or position on any significant issue between the Corporation and Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or investigation or (iii) the Corporation shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel for Indemnitee shall be at the expense of the Corporation, except as otherwise expressly provided by this Article VII. The Corporation shall not be entitled, without the consent of Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any claim brought by or in the right of the Corporation or as to which counsel for Indemnitee shall have reasonably made the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above. The Corporation shall not be required to indemnify Indemnitee under this Article VII for any amounts paid in settlement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation effected without its written consent. The Corporation shall not settle any action, suit, proceeding or investigation in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s written consent. Neither the Corporation nor Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any proposed settlement.
     5. Advance of Expenses. Subject to the provisions of Section 6 of this Article VII, in the event that the Corporation does not assume the defense pursuant to Section 4 of this Article VII of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation of which the Corporation receives notice under this Article VII, any expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in defending an action, suit, proceeding or investigation or any appeal therefrom shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such matter; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of such matter shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay all amounts so advanced in the event that it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VII; and further provided that no such advancement of expenses shall be made under this Article VII if it is determined (in the manner described in Section 6) that (i) Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, or (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, Indemnitee

B6


 

had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Such undertaking shall be accepted without reference to the financial ability of Indemnitee to make such repayment.
     6. Procedure for Indemnification. In order to obtain indemnification or advancement of expenses pursuant to Section 1, 2, 3 or 5 of this Article VII, an Indemnitee shall submit to the Corporation a written request. Any such advancement of expenses shall be made promptly, and in any event within 30 days after receipt by the Corporation of the written request of Indemnitee, unless the Corporation determines within such 30-day period that Indemnitee did not meet the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1, 2 or 5 of this Article VII, as the case may be. Any such indemnification, unless ordered by a court, shall be made with respect to requests under Section 1 or 2 only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination by the Corporation that the indemnification of Indemnitee is proper because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 or 2, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made in each instance (a) by a majority vote of the directors of the Corporation consisting of persons who are not at that time parties to the action, suit or proceeding in question (“disinterested directors”), whether or not a quorum, (b) by a committee of disinterested directors designated by majority vote of disinterested directors, whether or not a quorum, (c) if there are no disinterested directors, or if the disinterested directors so direct, by independent legal counsel (who may, to the extent permitted by law, be regular legal counsel to the Corporation) in a written opinion, or (d) by the stockholders of the Corporation.
     7. Remedies. The right to indemnification or advancement of expenses as granted by this Article VII shall be enforceable by Indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction. Neither the failure of the Corporation to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Corporation pursuant to Section 6 of this Article VII that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. Indemnitee’s expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred in connection with successfully establishing Indemnitee’s right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such proceeding shall also be indemnified by the Corporation.

B7


 

     8. Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VII, except as set forth in Section 7 of this Article VII, the Corporation shall not indemnify an Indemnitee pursuant to this Article VII in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee unless the initiation thereof was approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VII, the Corporation shall not indemnify an Indemnitee to the extent such Indemnitee is reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, and in the event the Corporation makes any indemnification payments to an Indemnitee and such Indemnitee is subsequently reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, such Indemnitee shall promptly refund indemnification payments to the Corporation to the extent of such insurance reimbursement; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 8 shall be construed to require any Indemnitee to seek reimbursement under any insurance policy.
     9. Subsequent Amendment. No amendment, termination or repeal of this Article VII or of the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of Delaware or any other applicable laws shall affect or diminish in any way the rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification under the provisions hereof with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation arising out of or relating to any actions, transactions or facts occurring prior to the final adoption of such amendment, termination or repeal.
     10. Other Rights. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Article VII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnitee seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any law (common or statutory), agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in Indemnitee’s official capacity and as to action in any other capacity while holding office for the Corporation, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer, and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors and administrators of Indemnitee. Nothing contained in this Article VII shall be deemed to prohibit, and the Corporation is specifically authorized to enter into, agreements with officers and directors providing indemnification rights and procedures different from those set forth in this Article VII. In addition, the Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by its Board of Directors, grant indemnification rights to other employees or agents of the Corporation or other

B8


 

persons serving the Corporation and such rights may be equivalent to, or greater or less than, those set forth in this Article VII.
     11. Partial Indemnification. If an Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Article VII to indemnification by the Corporation for some or a portion of the expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or investigation and any appeal therefrom but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement to which Indemnitee is entitled.
     12. Insurance.

EXHIBIT C
EXCHANGE PROCEDURES
     (a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Closing, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as Exchange Agent in the Merger.
     (b) Parent to Provide Merger Consideration. Prior to the filing of the Certificate of Merger, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, for exchange through the procedures set forth herein, sufficient cash and shares of Parent Common Stock to be exchanged pursuant to Section 1.7 of the Agreement plus cash for fractional shares.
     (c) Exchange Procedures.

Upon surrender of a Company Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto and such other documents as may reasonably be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Company Certificate shall be entitled to receive promptly in exchange therefor (A) a certificate representing the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive as part of the Merger Consideration and (B) a check for the cash that such holder is entitled to receive, including any cash consideration, cash in lieu of fractional shares, any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.7, and the Company Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.

complied with this Exhibit C shall thereafter be entitled to receive from Parent payment of the Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares, dividends or distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock to which such holders may be then entitled.
     (d) Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Closing with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Closing will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered shares of Company Common Stock with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock represented thereby, and no cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be paid to any such holder, until the holder of record of such Company Certificate shall surrender such Company Certificate. Subject to Law, following surrender of any such Company Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of record of such Company Certificate representing the whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in exchange therefor, without interest, at the time of such surrender, the applicable cash consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock and any dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Closing theretofore paid with respect to such whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock.
     (e) Transfers of Ownership. If any certificate for shares of Parent Common Stock or check is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Company Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Company Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer, accompanied by all documents reasonably required to evidence and effect such transfer, and that the stockholder requesting such exchange shall have paid to Parent, or any agent designated by it, any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate for shares of Parent Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or established to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is otherwise not payable.
     (f) Withholding of Tax. Parent, Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock such amounts as Parent (or any Affiliate, including the Surviving Corporation) or the Exchange Agent are required to deduct

and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of federal, state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, to the applicable Governmental Authority and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made by Parent.
     (g) Lost Certificates. If any Company Certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Company Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, and an indemnification against loss in customary form, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificate the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

FORM OF AFFILIATE AGREEMENT


 

[FORM OF AFFILIATE LETTER FOR AFFILIATES OF
EYETECH PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.]
August ___, 2005
OSI Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
[ADDRESS]
Ladies and Gentlemen:
     The undersigned, a holder of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Company Common Stock”), of Eyetech Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is entitled to receive, in connection with the merger (the “Merger”) of the Company with and into Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OSI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of Parent (“Parent Common Stock”, which definition, for purposes hereof, shall also include any shares of Parent Common Stock otherwise acquired or beneficially owned by the undersigned prior to the Merger). The undersigned has been advised that, as of the date hereof, he or it may be deemed an “affiliate” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 145 (“Rule 145”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), although nothing contained herein should be construed as an admission of such fact, nor as a waiver of any right the undersigned may have to object to any claim that the undersigned is such an affiliate on or after the date of this letter.
     If, in fact, the undersigned were such an affiliate under the Securities Act, the undersigned’s ability to sell, assign or transfer the shares of Parent Common Stock received by the undersigned in the Merger may be restricted unless such transaction is registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The undersigned understands that such exemptions are limited and, to the extent the undersigned felt or feels necessary, the undersigned has obtained or will obtain advice of counsel as to the nature and conditions of such exemptions, including information with respect to the applicability to the sale of such securities of Rules 144 and 145(d) promulgated under the Securities Act. The undersigned understands that Parent is under no obligation to register Parent Common Stock for sale, transfer or other disposition by the undersigned or take any action (other than as provided in the penultimate

D2


 

paragraph of this letter) to make compliance with an exemption from registration available to the undersigned.
     The undersigned hereby represents to and covenants with Parent that the undersigned will not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Parent Common Stock received by the undersigned in the Merger except (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) in conformity with the volume and other limitations of Rule 145 or (iii) in a transaction which, in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Parent, or as described in a “no-action” or interpretive letter from the Staff of the SEC specifically issued with respect to a transaction to be engaged in by the undersigned, is not required to be registered under the Securities Act.
     In the event of a sale or other disposition by the undersigned of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Rule 145, the undersigned will supply Parent or Parent’s transfer agent with evidence of compliance with such Rule, in the form of a customary letter and, to the extent required by the preceding paragraph, the opinion of counsel or no-action letter referred to in such paragraph. The undersigned understands that Parent may instruct its transfer agent to withhold the transfer of any shares of Parent Common Stock disposed of by the undersigned, but that (provided such transfer is not prohibited by any other provision of this letter agreement) upon receipt of such evidence of compliance, Parent shall cause the transfer agent to effectuate, on a timely basis, the transfer of the Parent Common Stock sold as indicated in such letter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall revoke the stop transfer instructions with respect to any shares of Parent Common Stock held by the undersigned or a transferee of the undersigned as to which the legend referred to below has been removed.
     The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that there will be placed on the certificates for Parent Common Stock issued to the undersigned in connection with Merger, or, except as otherwise provided herein, 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 (THE “ACT”), APPLIES, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, EXCHANGED, PLEDGED,

D3


 

TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT, AND OTHER CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THE COMPANY AFFILIATE AGREEMENT BETWEEN EYETECH PHRAMACEUTUCALS, INC. AND THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE INSPECTED BY THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE AT THE OFFICES OF EYETECH PHRAMACEUTUCALS, INC. OR WHICH WILL BE FURNISHED BY EYETECH PHRAMACEUTUCALS, INC. WITHOUT CHARGE, TO THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”
     It is understood and agreed that certificates with the legend set forth in the preceding paragraph will be replaced by delivery of certificates without such legend, and Parent will cause its transfer agent to promptly issue such a certificate without such legend, and the sale restrictions described in this letter agreement will cease to apply, 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 the undersigned;
(ii) two years shall have elapsed from the date the undersigned acquired the Parent Common Stock received in the Merger and the provisions of Rule 145(d)(3) are then applicable to the undersigned;
(iii) Parent has received either an opinion of counsel, which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to Parent, or a “no action” letter obtained by the undersigned from the staff of the SEC, to the effect that the restrictions imposed by Rule 145 under the Securities Act no longer apply to the undersigned; or
(iv) any registration statement registering the resale of Parent Common Stock issued to the undersigned is declared effective by the SEC or automatically becomes effective.
     For so long as and to the extent necessary to permit the undersigned to sell its shares of the Parent Common Stock pursuant to Rule 145 and, to the extent applicable, Rule 144 under the Securities Act, Parent shall file, on a timely basis, all reports and data required to be filed with

D4


 

the SEC by it pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), referred to in paragraph (c)(1) of Rule 144 (or, if applicable, Parent shall make publicly available the information regarding itself referred to in paragraph (c)(2) of Rule 144), furnish to the undersigned upon request a written statement as to whether Parent has complied with such reporting requirements during the twelve months preceding any proposed sale under Rule 144 and Rule 145 and otherwise take all such actions as reasonably available to permit such sales pursuant to Rule 145 and Rule 144. Parent has filed, on a timely basis, all reports required to be filed with the SEC under Section 13 of the Exchange Act during the preceding twelve months.
     The undersigned acknowledges that the undersigned has carefully read this letter and understands the requirements hereof and the limitations imposed upon the distribution, sale, transfer or other disposition of shares of Company Common Stock and Parent Common Stock.
Very truly yours,
