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., 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx
Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, 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.
(a) Each Subsidiary of the Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
corporate good standing (to the extent such concepts are applicable) under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation, and is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation to
conduct business, and is in corporate good standing (to the extent such concepts
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”).
(d) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Subsidiary” means, with respect to any party,
any corporation or other organization, whether incorporated or
unincorporated, of which (i) such party (or any other Subsidiary of such party) is a general
partner (excluding partnerships, the general partnership interests in which held by such party or

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).

the SEC (or its staff) and of any request by the SEC (or its staff) or any other Government
Authority for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement or any
Other Filing for additional information, and shall promptly supply the other with copies of all
correspondence between such Party or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, its
staff or any other Government Authority, on the other hand, with respect to the Registration
Statement, the Proxy Statement, the Merger or any Other Filings.
(d) The Parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy

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.

Company, whether or not the Company’s Board of Directors at any time changes, withdraws or modifies
the Board Recommendation. 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.
5.8 Public Announcements.
Except as otherwise required by Law or the rules of the Nasdaq National Market, or as provided
elsewhere herein, prior to the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement pursuant to
Section 7, (a) the press release announcing the execution of this Agreement shall be issued only in
such form as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Company and Parent and (b) Parent and the Company
shall each use its reasonable best efforts to consult with the other before
68
issuing any other press release or otherwise making any public statement with respect to the
Merger or this Agreement.
5.9 Accountant’s Letters.
(a) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be delivered to Parent a
“comfort” letter of Ernst & Young dated within two (2) Business Days before the date on which the
Registration Statement shall become effective and addressed to Parent and the Company, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent.
(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

than are presently set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company.

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

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

execution of this Agreement and thereafter from any other Person who is an officer or director of
the Company or its subsidiaries and who the Company hereafter determines to be an Affiliate of the
Company regarding compliance with Rule 145 under the Securities Act.

shall have issued an order or taken any other action, in each case, which has become final and

such tender or exchange offer;
(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);

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);

of the operation of this paragraph (h) have been made in full to Parent; or
(i) by Parent, but only within five Business Days after the Special Meeting at which a vote on

the outstanding voting shares of the Company, provided that Parent’s right to terminate pursuant to
this Section 7.1(i) shall automatically be waived by Parent (without requirement of any action by
Parent) if not exercised within five Business Days after the Special Meeting at which a vote on
this Agreement is taken.

8.3 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Sections,
subsections, Schedules or Exhibits, such reference shall be to a Section, subsection, Schedule or
Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. 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.
References in this Agreement to a contract or agreement mean such contract or agreement as amended
or otherwise modified from time to time. References in this Agreement to a law include any rules,
regulations and delegated legislation issued thereunder.
8.4 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid,
illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions
and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such
determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced,
the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original
intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions
contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
8.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all exhibits and schedules hereto),
and other documents and instruments delivered in connection herewith constitute the entire

obligations under this Agreement may be assigned by operation of law or otherwise, except that
Merger Sub may assign all or any of its rights hereunder to another wholly owned Subsidiary of
Parent, provided that no such assignment shall relieve Parent or Merger Sub of its obligations
hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to
the benefit of and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns.

beneficiaries), this Agreement is not intended, and shall not be deemed, to confer upon any other
Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this
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.
8.9 Governing Law; Enforcement. This Agreement and the rights and duties of the
Parties hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of
Delaware. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the
provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were
otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction
or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and
provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled
at law or in equity. In addition, each of the Parties: (a) consents to submit itself to the
exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery in and for New Castle County in the State

this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby; (b) agrees not to commence any action, suit
or proceeding related to or arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby

to enter into the Merger Agreement and proceed with the Merger.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements
herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Parent and Stockholder hereby agree as
follows:
1. Agreement to Vote.
(a) Prior to any termination of this Agreement, Stockholder hereby agrees that it shall, and
shall cause any other holder of record of any Covered Shares to, at any meeting of the stockholders
of the Company (whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned or
A2
postponed meeting), however called, (i) when a meeting is held, appear at such meeting, submit
a proxy to vote the Covered Shares at such meeting or otherwise cause the Covered Shares to be
counted as present thereat for the purpose of establishing a quorum, (ii) vote (or caused to be
voted) in person or by proxy all Covered Shares in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement
and any other matters necessary for consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement, as the Merger Agreement may be modified or amended from time to time in a manner not
adverse to Stockholder, and (iii) vote (or cause to be voted) all Covered Shares against any
Competing Proposal.
(b) STOCKHOLDER HEREBY GRANTS TO, AND APPOINTS, PARENT, THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER OF PARENT
AND THE SECRETARY OF PARENT, IN THEIR RESPECTIVE CAPACITIES AS OFFICERS OF PARENT, AND ANY OTHER
DESIGNEE OF PARENT, EACH OF THEM INDIVIDUALLY, THE STOCKHOLDER’S IRREVOCABLE PROXY AND
ATTORNEY-IN-FACT (WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION) TO VOTE THE COVERED SHARES IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN CLAUSE (a) OF THIS SECTION 1, PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, THAT THE PROXY GRANTED PURSUANT TO THIS CLAUSE (b) SHALL IMMEDIATELY TERMINATE AND
HAVE NO FURTHER FORCE AND EFFECT UPON THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. STOCKHOLDER INTENDS THIS
PROXY TO BE IRREVOCABLE DURING THE TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT AND COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST.
STOCKHOLDER WILL TAKE SUCH FURTHER ACTION OR EXECUTE SUCH OTHER INSTRUMENTS AS MAY BE NECESSARY TO
EFFECTUATE THE INTENT OF THIS PROXY AND HEREBY REVOKES ANY PROXY PREVIOUSLY GRANTED BY STOCKHOLDER
WITH RESPECT TO THE COVERED SHARES TO THE EXTENT INCONSISTENT WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
(c) Except as set forth in clause (a) of this Section 1, Stockholder shall not be
restricted from voting in favor of, against or abstaining with respect to any matter presented to
the stockholders of the Company. In addition, nothing in this Agreement shall give Parent or any
of its officers or designees the right to vote any Covered Shares in connection with the election
of directors.
A3
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.
3. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest of (a) the Effective
Time, (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, and (c) written
notice of termination of this Agreement by Parent to Stockholder, such earliest date being referred
to herein as the “Termination Date”.
4. Representations and Warranties.
(a) Representations and Warranties of Parent. Parent hereby represents and warrants to
Stockholder as follows:
(i) Valid Existence. Parent is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power and
authority to carry on its business as it is now being conducted.
(ii) Authority Relative to This Agreement. Parent has all necessary corporate power
and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly
authorized, executed and delivered by Parent and, assuming due authorization, execution and
delivery by Stockholder, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent, enforceable
against Parent in accordance with its terms.
(iii) No Conflicts. Except for the applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”), no filing with, and no permit, authorization,
consent or approval of, any Governmental Authority is necessary on the part of Parent for the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent and the consummation by Parent of the

warrants to Parent as follows:
(i) Ownership of Securities. As of the date of this Agreement, (A) Stockholder
beneficially owns the Owned Shares, (B) Stockholder is the sole record holder (or, in the case of
shares held in street name, beneficial owner) of ___Shares of Common Stock (all of which shares
are included in the Owned Shares), free and clear of Liens (other than Liens for Taxes not yet due

Schedule I attached to this Agreement), (C) Stockholder has sole voting power and sole power of

thereto, and (D) Stockholder beneficially owns ___shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of currently exercisable stock options (collectively, the “Stock Options”). Other
than as created by this Agreement, Stockholder has not appointed or granted any proxy which is
still in effect with respect to the Owned Shares. As used in this Agreement, the terms
“beneficial owner”, “beneficial ownership”, “beneficially owns” or

to authorize this Agreement to be entered into on behalf of and to be performed by Stockholder.
This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Stockholder and, assuming due

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

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

obligations hereunder.

the Company for purposes of Section 4.2 of the Merger Agreement, (ii) in such capacity, he or it is
subject to the restrictions of Section 4.2 of the Merger Agreement and (iii) that any breach by
Stockholder of the terms of Section 4.2 of the Merger Agreement shall be a breach by Stockholder of

the arrangements set forth on Schedule I attached to this Agreement, Stockholder hereby agrees,
while this Agreement is in effect, and except as contemplated hereby, not to (i) sell, transfer,
pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other
arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, pledge,
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

(“Trading Plans”), provided that such Trading Plans shall be in place on or prior to the
date of this Agreement.
(c) Additional Shares. Stockholder agrees, while this Agreement is in effect, to
promptly notify Parent of the number of any new shares of which Stockholder acquires beneficial
ownership after the date hereof (including upon the exercise of Stock Options).

further consideration, each party hereto shall take such reasonable further action as may
reasonably be necessary or desirable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated

Stockholder makes no agreement or understanding herein in any capacity other than in Stockholder’s
capacity as a holder of Covered Shares, (b) if Stockholder is a director or officer of the Company,

a Third Party, as and to the extent that the Company is permitted to do so, if, after the Company

has complied with the provisions of Section 4.2 of the Merger Agreement, and (d) Stockholder shall
have no liability to Parent or any of its affiliates under this
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.

assigning party of its obligations hereunder if such assignee does not perform such obligations.
A9

the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their

the parties: (a) consents to submit itself to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Court of

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. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense,
to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit
plan) against any expense, liability or loss incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out
of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person
against such expense, liability or loss under the General Corporation Law of Delaware.
13. Savings Clause. If this Article VII or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on
any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless
indemnify each Indemnitee as to any expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or investigation,
whether civil, criminal or administrative, including an action by or in the right of the
Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article VII that
shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
14. Definitions. Terms used herein and defined in Section 145(h) and Section 145(i)
of the General Corporation Law of Delaware shall have the respective meanings assigned to such
terms in such Section 145(h) and Section 145(i).

From time to time any of the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation may be amended,
altered or repealed, and other provisions authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware at the

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. As promptly as reasonably practicable, after the Effective
Time, Parent shall cause to be mailed to each holder of record of a Company Certificate, a letter
of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to
the Company Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Company Certificates to the Exchange
Agent and shall be in customary form) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the
Company Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. 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. Until so surrendered, each outstanding Company
Certificate shall be deemed from and after the Closing, for all corporate purposes, to evidence the
right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration. Any portion of the shares of Parent
Common Stock and cash deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section (b) above, which
remains undistributed to the holders of the shares of Company Common Stock for 12 months after the
Closing shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holders of shares of Company Common
Stock who have not theretofore
C1
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
C2
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 LETTER FOR AFFILIATES OF
EYETECH PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.]
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,
