AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), is made and entered into as of October 14, 2009 by and among OXiGENE, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), OXiGENE Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), VaxGen, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Xxxxx Xxxxx, as representative of the Company’s stockholders (the “Stockholder Representative”). Parent, Merger Sub and the Company are sometimes referred to herein each individually as a “Party” and, collectively, as the “Parties.”

RECITALS

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 and Parent’s common stock are entering into the respective voting agreements in substantially the forms attached as Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Voting Agreements”); and certain holders of shares of the Company’s common stock or Parent’s common stock are entering into a lock-up agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Lock-Up Agreements”), under which such stockholder will agree not to sell any of the shares of Parent Common Stock he, she or it holds immediately following the Effective Time of the Merger for a period of 90 days following the Effective Time of the Merger.

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. At the Closing, in accordance with the DGCL and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, 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 8, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver, as the case may be, of the conditions set forth in Section 7, the closing of the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (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 7 (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 in accordance with Section 8.5, 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., Xxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 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 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 in substantially the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (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. From and after the Closing and without further action on the part of the Parties, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Merger Sub immediately prior to the Closing shall be the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until amended in accordance with the respective terms thereof; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 1 of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended to read as follows: “The name of the Corporation is VaxGen, Inc.”

1.6 Directors and Officers. Subject to the requirements of Law, 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.

2. EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON VAXGEN SECURITIES; EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES

2.1 Conversion of Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parties or the holders of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Company Common Stock”), each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be converted automatically into the right to receive:

(a) that number of shares of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Parent Common Stock”), obtained by multiplying each such share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of Initial Closing Shares as determined below and as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.11 below, and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. The number of “Initial Closing Shares” shall be that number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to 25% of the Parent Share Amount (it being understood and agreed upon that the number of Initial Closing Shares is equal to 15,622,549 on the date hereof), such number of shares to be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.11, and such shares to be issued, in accordance with Section 2.12.

(b) up to that number of shares of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Common Stock obtained by multiplying each such share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of Contingent Value Shares as determined below and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. The number of “Contingent Value Shares” shall be Eight Million Four Hundred Fifty Seven Thousand Five Hundred Forty Eight (8,457,548) shares of Parent Common Stock, such number of shares to be subject to adjustment, and such shares to be issued, in accordance with and Section 2.12.

(c) As used herein, “Parent Share Amount” shall be the sum of (i) the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, plus (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to or upon conversion of any shares of preferred stock, convertible notes or other securities of Parent convertible into or exchangeable for Parent Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, if any (other than such shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of Parent Stock Options and Parent Warrants or Parent’s employee stock purchase program, as defined below).

(d) 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 or shares 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 the shares of Parent Common Stock such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.1 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 2.7 hereof, in each case without interest (such 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 2.1(e) below.

(e) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1, any shares of 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 3.4(d) of this Agreement), including any judicial or administrative interpretation thereof (“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.

2.2 Company Warrants. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take commercially reasonable steps under the terms of each unexercised warrant to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (the “Company Warrants”) to terminate such Company Warrants, to the extent such action is permitted in accordance with their terms. At the Effective Time, each outstanding and unexercised Company Warrant that was not eligible to have been terminated in accordance with its terms will be assumed by Parent. Each such outstanding Company Warrant so assumed by Parent under this Agreement will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that such Company Warrants shall be exercisable for shares of Parent Common Stock, with the numbers of shares purchasable and exercise price adjusted as set forth in such assumed Company Warrants. From and after the Effective Time, unless the context requires otherwise, all references to the Company in the Company Warrants shall be deemed to refer to Parent. Parent shall, on or prior to the Effective Time, reserve for issuance the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that will become subject to the assumed Company Warrants pursuant to this Section 2.2.

2.3 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 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.

2.4 Company Stock and Stock Purchase Plans.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take commercially reasonable actions to provide that each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (the “Company Stock Options”) then outstanding under the stock option plans listed in Section 2.4(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, as well as any arrangement for the issuance of Company Stock Options not covered by such option plans (together, the “Company Stock Plans”), shall be of no further force or effect as of the Effective Time (either because such Company Stock Option shall have been exercised prior to the Effective Time or shall have been otherwise canceled and terminated (without regard to the exercise price of the Company Stock Options) as of or prior to the Effective Time).

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take commercially reasonable actions to provide holders of Company Stock Options with written notice that (i) options vested and exercisable as of the date of such notice (or that otherwise vest and become exercisable by their terms as a result of the Merger) may be exercised by the holders of such Company Stock Options within a specified number of calendar days from the date of such notice, which period shall expire prior to the Effective Time (the “Option Exercise Period”) and (ii) at the end of the Option Exercise Period, the Company Stock Options shall be canceled and terminated.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all commercially reasonable actions to terminate all of the Company Stock Plans effective at or prior to the Effective Time that have not previously been terminated.

(d) Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall take commercially reasonable actions to ensure that the Company will not, at the Effective Time, be bound by any options, stock appreciation rights, or other rights or agreements (other than the Company Warrants as provided in Section 2.2 and other than as provided in this Agreement) which would entitle any Person, other than Parent and its Subsidiaries, to own any capital stock of the Surviving Corporation or to receive any payment in respect thereof.

(e) The Company and Parent shall each take commercially reasonable actions 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 pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

(f) The Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) has been terminated in accordance with its terms and no rights to purchase Company Common Stock under the ESPP are outstanding or will be outstanding at or after the Effective Time.

2.5 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.

2.6 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 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 Global Market (“NGM”) for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on the second-to-last trading day immediately prior to the Closing Date.

2.7 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 D attached hereto, which is incorporated by reference herein as if set forth in full.

2.8 No Liability. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, none of the Exchange Agent (as defined in Exhibit D), 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.

2.9 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, interest 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.

2.10 Calculation of Net Cash.

(a) Parent and Company shall agree, at least ten Business Days prior to the Company Special Meeting, upon an anticipated date for Closing (the “First Anticipated Closing Date”). At least five Business Days prior to the First Anticipated Closing Date, but not more than ten Business Days prior to such date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a schedule (a “Net Cash Statement”) in substantially the form of Schedule 2.10 attached hereto, setting forth, in reasonable detail, Company’s estimate of Net Cash (the “Estimated Net Cash”) as of the First Anticipated Closing Date. The Company shall make the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the applicable Net Cash Schedule available to Parent and its accountants, counsel and other advisors at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice.

(b) Within ten Business Days after the Company delivers the applicable Net Cash Statement (a “Lapse Date”), Parent shall have the right to dispute any part of such Net Cash Statement by delivering a written notice to that effect to the Company (a “Dispute Notice”). Any Dispute Notice shall identify in reasonable detail the nature of any proposed revisions to the applicable Estimated Net Cash.

(c) If on or prior to any Lapse Date, (i) Parent notifies the Company that it has no objections to the applicable Estimated Net Cash or (ii) Parent fails to deliver a Dispute Notice as provided above, then the Estimated Net Cash as set forth in the Net Cash Statement shall be deemed, on the date of such notification (in the case of (i) above) or on the applicable Lapse Date (in the case of (ii) above) (the applicable date being referred to herein as the “Non-Dispute Net Cash Determination Date”), to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Net Cash at Closing for purposes of calculating the Initial Closing Shares pursuant to Section 2.11 so long as Closing occurs within five Business Days after the applicable Non-Dispute Net Cash Determination Date.

(d) If Parent delivers a Dispute Notice on or prior to the applicable Lapse Date, then Representatives of the Company and Parent shall promptly meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the disputed item(s) and negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Net Cash as of a particular date to be agreed to by the Company and Parent, which Net Cash amount shall be deemed, on the date of agreement between Parent and the Company as to such amount (a “Dispute Net Cash Determination Date”), to be the final determination for purposes of this Agreement of Net Cash at Closing for purposes of calculating the Initial Closing Shares pursuant to Section 2.11 so long as Closing occurs within five Business Days after the applicable Dispute Net Cash Determination Date.

(e) If Representatives of Parent and the Company, pursuant to clause (d) above, are unable to negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Net Cash as of a particular date to be agreed to by Parent and the Company, or if Closing does not occur within five Business Days after an applicable Non-Dispute Net Cash Determination Date or an applicable Dispute Net Cash Determination Date, then Parent and the Company shall agree upon a new anticipated date for Closing (a “Subsequent Anticipated Closing Date”) and thereafter follow the procedures set forth in Sections (a) through (d) above as many times as is reasonably necessary (and replacing the First Anticipated Closing Date with the Subsequent Anticipated Closing Date in each instance) until Net Cash at Closing for purposes of calculating the Initial Closing Shares pursuant to Section 2.11 is deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.10. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Parent and the Company reach a point in negotiation at which the difference in their respective determinations of Net Cash for purposes of this Section 2.11 is equal to or less than $100,000, Parent and the Company shall agree to split the difference of such amount and set the Net Cash at Closing at the mid-point between their respective determinations of Net Cash. In the event that Parent and the Company are unable to agree upon a determination of Net Cash as of a particular date for purposes of this Section 2.10 prior to February 15, 2010, they agree to submit the dispute to final and binding arbitration in accordance with the rules for commercial arbitration of the American Arbitration Association, to be arbitrated in San Francisco, CA., and the non-prevailing party of such arbitration shall be responsible for all fees, expenses and administrative costs related to such arbitration.

For purposes of this Section 2.10, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(i) “Net Cash” shall mean, as of any particular date (actual or future), without repetition and including the amounts as set forth on Schedule 2.10, (a) the sum of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments, accounts receivable (as evidenced by reasonable and customary documentation, consistent with past practices, and net of any allowances for doubtful accounts), the prepaid expenses set forth on Schedule 2.10, restricted cash (including the amount available to be drawn upon under that certain Letter of Credit dated June 15, 2009 and issued by the U.S. Bank National Association International Banking Group in the aggregate principal amount of $1.4 million), and any credit or refund under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy as provided in Section 6.9(a), in each case as of such date and determined in a manner substantially consistent with the manner in which such items were determined for the Company’s then most recent consolidated balance sheets filed with the SEC (“Company’s Most Recent SEC Balance Sheet”), minus (b) the sum of the Company’s accounts payable and accrued expenses set forth on Schedule 2.10, in each case as of such date and determined in a manner substantially consistent with the manner in which such items were determined for the Company’s Most Recent SEC Balance Sheet (but excluding any such amounts included in the Lease Facility Liability), minus (c) the cash cost of the Company’s contractual obligations and material liabilities (but excluding the Lease Facility Liability) as of such date as mutually agreed upon by the Parties in good faith, minus (d) the cash cost of any change of control payments, severance payments or payments under Section 280G of the Code that become due to any employee of the Company as a result of the Merger, minus (e) the cash cost of any and all unpaid Taxes (including estimates from any estimated tax costs arising out of any specific tax review or tax audit that may be underway at the Effective Time, but excluding the FIN 48 Liability (as defined below)) for which the Company is liable in respect of any period ending on or before such date, and minus (f) any other unpaid fees and expenses as of such date for which the Company is liable, incurred by the Company in connection with this Agreement (other than those included in clause (b) of this paragraph, above).

(ii) “Target Net Cash” shall mean Thirty-Three Million One Hundred Seventy Five Thousand Seven Hundred Thirty Dollars ($33,175,730) of Net Cash.

2.11 Adjustments to Initial Closing Shares; Issuance of Contingent Value Shares.

(a) Adjustment for Net Cash at Closing. The Initial Closing Shares delivered at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.1(a) shall be adjusted to an amount calculated by multiplying the Initial Closing Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Net Cash at Closing as determined by Section 2.10 above and the denominator of which is the Target Net Cash (the “Adjusted Initial Closing Shares”.

(b) Additional Shares Adjustment for Contingent Liability. Contingent Liability shall consist of the FIN 48 Liability and the Lease Facility Liability (each as defined below).

(i) If the Company has not effected a Lease Facility Settlement (as defined below) with respect to its leases of the real property located at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, XX and 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00, Xxxxx Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, XX (together, the “Oyster Point Leases”) prior to the Closing, Parent shall deposit Two Million Six Hundred Fifty Seven Thousand Five Hundred Forty Eight (2,657,548) shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Lease Liability Shares”) with American Stock Transfer and Trust Company (the “Escrow Agent”) to be held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms hereof and of the escrow agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Escrow Agreement”). Six Hundred Eighty Five Thousand (685,000) of the Lease Liability Shares shall be defined as “FIN 48 Shares”, and shall be treated as a subset of the Lease Liability Shares. The difference between the Lease Liability Shares and the FIN 48 Shares which is equal to One Million Nine Hundred Seventy Two Thousand Five Hundred Forty Eight (1,972,548) shares, shall be referred to as the “Net Lease Liability Shares.”

(ii) If prior to the Closing the Company defeases or offsets its obligations and liabilities with respect to the Oyster Point Leases (the “Lease Facility Liability”), by either (x) obtaining the full and unconditional release from the landlord of the Company with respect to the Lease Facility Liability, or (y) assigning its obligations and rights under the Oyster Point Leases or subletting the facilities under the Oyster Point Leases, in each case to one or more assignee(s) or subtenant(s), each of which assignee(s) or subtenant(s), and the terms and conditions of assignment or subletting, shall be acceptable to Parent in its sole discretion (provided, however, if in connection with a proposed assignment of the Oyster Point Leases either the Company or the Surviving Corporation shall be released from all obligations with respect to the Oyster Point Leases, such proposed assignment and release shall be accepted by Parent), and in each case as approved in writing by the landlord (the “Lease Facility Settlement”), the Net Lease Liability Shares shall not be deposited with the Escrow Agent and the Initial Closing Shares will be adjusted as follows: (a) if the total amount of all costs due from or paid by the Company in connection with the Lease Facility Settlement (the “Lease Settlement Amount”) (the calculation of which is described in more detail below) is less than or equal to Six Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($6,600,000), the Initial Closing Shares shall be adjusted by adding all of the Net Lease Liability Shares to the Initial Closing Shares, and such adjusted number of Initial Closing Shares shall be issued at Closing; (b) if the Lease Settlement Amount is greater than Six Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($6,600,000) but less than or equal to Ten Million Four Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars ($10,480,000), the Initial Closing Shares shall be adjusted by adding a number of Lease Liability Shares to the Initial Closing Shares (the “Closing Adjusted Lease Liability Shares”). The Closing Adjusted Lease Liability Shares shall be calculated by multiplying the Lease Liability Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the difference between Ten Million Four Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars ($10,480,000) and the Lease Settlement Amount and the denominator of which is Three Million Eight Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars ($3,880,000), and then subtracting the FIN 48 Shares from the product of this calculation; provided, however, that if the Closing Adjusted Lease Liability Shares are greater than zero, then the Closing Adjusted Lease Liability Shares shall be included in the number of Initial Closing Shares which shall be issued at Closing; and (c) if the Lease Settlement Amount is greater than Ten Million Four Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars ($10,480,000), the holders of Company Common Stock shall not be entitled to any of the Lease Liability Shares as of the Closing, and accordingly the Initial Closing Shares will not be adjusted.

For purposes of this Section 2.11, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“FIN 48 Liability” means (i) actual federal or state Taxes (not to exceed $1,000,000, and determined after reduction by all available Tax losses, credits, deductions, and carryforwards) of the Company and its Subsidiaries that are required to be paid pursuant to a Final Determination with respect to the taxable income of the Company in respect of its joint venture interest in Celltrion, Inc. (“Celltrion”), for fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, directly as a result of those certain licensing transactions involving Celltrion that are the subject of the long-term deferred tax provision of the Company included on the Most Recent Balance Sheet, plus (ii) the actual and reasonable cost of appealing any FIN 48 Liability. For purposes of this paragraph, “Final Determination” means a final “determination” of a taxing authority or court (after exhaustion of all commercially reasonable appeals) within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code and which is initially asserted or assessed by a taxing authority either prior to Closing or during the Contingent Term (as defined below). For the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall not report any FIN 48 Liability on any tax return of any entity absent a Final Determination of such FIN 48 Liability unless Stockholder Representative receives a written opinion from Parent’s tax advisor, which shall be either a nationally recognized accounting firm or law firm, that inclusion of any such FIN 48 Liability on such tax return is required, in such tax advisor’s opinion, under applicable Tax law.

“Lease Settlement Amount” shall consist of the difference between:

(A) the sum of payments by the Company (if prior to the Closing) or Parent or the Surviving Corporation (if after the Closing) relating to the Leased Facilities that consist of (without duplication): (1) Base Rent, Additional Rent and Basic Operating Costs (each as defined in the Oyster Point Leases), (2) required insurance on the Leased Facilities, (3) real estate Taxes on the Leased Facilities for which the Company or the Surviving Corporation are responsible, (4) any costs that are imposed by the landlord under the Oyster Point Leases, or required by any assignee or subtenant, in order to restore the Leased Facilities to their condition prior to the entry by the Company into the Oyster Point Leases, or any such costs incurred to prepare the Leased Facilities for occupancy by any assignee or subtenant, (5) the amount of any brokerage fee paid in connection with any assignment or sublease, (6) any improvement allowance, demising costs, relocation allowance or other cost or inducement payable pursuant to any sublease or assignment, (7) costs paid to any professional consultants for testing or investigation of the physical condition of the Leased Facilities, equipment or building systems as a requirement of any subtenant or assignee (other than those costs to be paid by Parent pursuant to Section 7.2(f) below), (8) costs incurred to maintain the Leased Facilities, (9) reasonable legal fees incurred in connection with the Lease Facility Settlement, including but not limited to the cost of reviewing and negotiating assignment, release and sublease documents, (10) the net amount of any security deposit and/or letter of credit amounts paid to a landlord as security for the obligations under the Oyster Point Leases, offset by any security deposit and/or letter of credit amounts paid by any subtenant(s) or assignee(s) of the Oyster Point Leases, and (11) costs of transferring any necessary Permits to any assignee or subtenant; and

(B) the sum of receipts by or payments due to the Company (if prior to the Closing) or Parent or the Surviving Corporation (if after the Closing), or paid directly to the landlord of the Leased Facilities by the subtenant or assignee in connection with any sublease or assignment of the Leased Facilities, including (without duplication): (1) rent received or receivable from or payable by a subtenant or assignee, (2) any reimbursement of costs incurred to prepare the Leased Facilities for occupancy by any assignee or subtenant, (3) any other payments received from the landlord, assignee(s) or subtenant(s) for its interest in the Leased Facilities or any of its trade fixtures or other personal property contained therein (as offset by any portion of such payment due to the landlord as additional rent) (4) any proceeds from the sale of the Company’s trade fixtures or other personal property contained in the Leased Facilities, (5) any other reimbursements or payments related to a sublease or assignment paid or due to the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the landlord, and (6) any relief from payment of rent to the landlord by the Company or the Surviving Corporation in connection with any sublease, assignment, the sale or redevelopment of the Leased Facilities or otherwise.

In the event that the calculation of payments and receipts for purposes of calculating the Lease Settlement Amount requires estimation, those amounts will be determined based upon the parties’ good faith estimates and historical trends of actual amounts incurred, as applicable.

(iii) If the Company has not effected a Lease Facility Settlement prior to the Closing, and Parent deposits the Lease Liability Shares with the Escrow Agent, the Surviving Corporation shall have the right to seek a Lease Facility Settlement, as follows: A consultant or broker shall be engaged by the Surviving Corporation or Parent for purposes of seeking to settle the Lease Facility Liability, which consultant or broker shall be subject to the written prior approval of the Parent and the Stockholder Representative, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld. If within the period of two (2) years following the Closing (the “Contingent Term”), such consultant or broker presents terms to the Surviving Corporation or Parent for the Lease Facility Settlement which would cause the Lease Settlement Amount to be less than or equal to $10,480,000 and which otherwise meets the conditions set forth in Section 2.11(b)(ii) clauses (x) or (y), then the Surviving Corporation shall accept such terms. In any event, the Surviving Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts and diligence to obtain a Lease Facility Settlement within the Contingent Term. If, during the Contingent Term the Surviving Corporation achieves a full Lease Facility Settlement, the release of the Lease Liability Shares from escrow shall be treated as contemplated in Section 2.11(b)(ii) and shall be distributed to the holders of Company Common Stock based upon the ownership percentage of each holder of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time. In addition, if, during the Contingent Term, a partial Lease Facility Settlement is achieved by means of a portion of the Lease Facility Liability being released by the landlord, or by means of the assignment or subleasing of a portion of the Oyster Point Leases under circumstances meeting the conditions set forth in Section 2.11(b)(ii) clause (y), then (i) a Lease Settlement Amount shall be calculated based upon such partial Lease Facility Settlement pursuant to the calculation set forth in Section 2.11(b)(ii), and (ii) the release of Lease Liability Shares from escrow shall be treated as contemplated in Section 2.11(b)(ii) based on such Lease Settlement Amount, including the subtraction of the FIN 48 Shares as provided therein. A similar adjustment shall be calculated thereafter with respect to each additional partial Lease Facility Settlement, if any, during the Contingent Term. Parent shall make the foregoing adjustments and direct the Escrow Agent to release the appropriate portion of the Lease Liability Shares (i) initially at such time as the Lease Settlement Amount shall fall below $10,480,000, and (ii) upon each subsequent partial Lease Facility Settlement, if any, during the Contingent Term which results in a further reduction of the Lease Settlement Amount as recalculated for such event. The Lease Liability Shares released from escrow pursuant to this Section 2.11(b)(iii) shall be distributed to the holders of Company Common Stock based upon the ownership percentage of each holder of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to the withholding of the FIN 48 Shares as contemplated in Section 2.11(b)(ii) above and in the following Section 2.11(b)(iv), and provided that in no event shall the number of shares distributed exceed an amount equal to the Net Lease Liability Shares. At the end of the Contingent Term the balance of the Lease Liability Shares not released to the holders of Company Common Stock as provided above shall be returned to the Parent.

(iv) If, during the Contingent Term there has been a Lease Facility Settlement and a subtraction of FIN 48 Shares from the Total Lease Liability Shares pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(ii) (i.e., fewer than all of the Lease Liability Shares were returned to the Parent upon a Lease Facility Settlement), and a FIN 48 Liability is imposed upon Parent or the Surviving Corporation following a Final Determination, then a portion of the FIN 48 Shares so withheld shall be released by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and returned to the Parent, with such portion being equal to the total FIN 48 Shares multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the amount of the actual FIN 48 Liability, and the denominator of which shall be $1,000,000. In the event that, during the Contingent Term, there has been a Lease Facility Settlement and a subtraction of FIN 48 Shares from the Lease Liability Shares pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(ii) (i.e., fewer than all of the Lease Liability Shares were returned to the Parent upon a Lease Facility Settlement), and the aggregate FIN 48 Liability imposed upon Parent or the Surviving Corporation as of the end of the Contingent Term is less than $1,000,000, then any FIN 48 Shares not released to Parent and otherwise due to holders of Company Common Stock as a result of a Lease Facility Settlement as described above in Sections 2.11(b)(ii) and 2.11(b)(iii) shall be distributed to the holders of Company Common Stock based upon the ownership percentage of each holder of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if, prior to the expiration of the Contingent Term, Parent or the Surviving Corporation receives notice from a Governmental Authority stating that transactions described in the definition of FIN 48 Liability are under review and/or that a FIN 48 Liability may be imposed upon Parent or the Surviving Corporation, the FIN 48 Shares shall not be distributed either to Parent or to the holders of Company Common Stock and shall be held in accordance with the Escrow Agreement until the resolution of the outcome of the matters set forth in such notice.

(c) Potential Adjustments related to Emergent BioSolutions. (A) If, prior to the Closing, the Three Million Dollar ($3,000,000) milestone payment (an “Emergent Event”) pursuant to Section 2.4 of that certain Asset Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and Emergent BioSolutions, Inc. (“Emergent”), dated as of May 2, 2008 (the “Emergent Purchase Agreement”) has either been paid to the Company or becomes due and payable to the Company, as evidenced (x) either by written notification by Emergent under Section 2.7(a) of the Emergent Purchase Agreement acknowledging achievement of the milestone under Section 2.4(a) of said agreement , or by Emergent’s public announcement of, or by a statement contained in a press release or SEC filing, or in a statement or announcement by the U.S. Government or any agency or subdivision thereof, regarding Emergent’s entering into a definitive agreement of the type which requires the payment of such milestone, and (y) the Company in turn having submitted an invoice for $3,000,000 to Emergent, then (i) $3,000,000 shall be added to Net Cash and the Initial Closing Shares shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.11(a), and (ii) Parent shall further increase the Initial Closing Shares by Seven Hundred Eighty Five Thousand (785,000) for each One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) of award value associated with such procurement contract(s) which give rise to the Emergent Event, up to a maximum of Three Million

Nine Hundred Twenty Five Thousand (3,925,000) shares. (B) If an Emergent Event does not occur prior to Closing, Parent shall deposit into escrow an additional Five Million Eight Hundred Thousand (5,800,000) shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Emergent Milestone Shares”) to be held by the Escrow Agent and if an Emergent Event occurs during the Contingent Term, One Million Eight Hundred Seventy Five Thousand (1,875,000) of the Emergent Milestone Shares shall be released from escrow and shall be distributed to the holders of Company Common Stock based upon the ownership percentage of each holder of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time. (C) During the Contingent Term, upon the signing by Emergent of one or more procurement contract(s) as described in clause (A) above, Seven Hundred Eighty Five Thousand (785,000) of the Emergent Milestone Shares for each One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) of award value associated with such procurement contract(s), up to a maximum of Three Million Nine Hundred Twenty Five Thousand (3,925,000) shares (less any amount of shares added to the Initial Closing Shares pursuant to clause (A)(ii) above), shall be released from escrow and shall be distributed to the holders of Company Common Stock based upon the ownership percentage of each holder of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

2.12 Escrow Arrangement. At the Closing, Parent shall deposit the Total Lease Liability Shares and, unless an Emergent Event has occurred prior to the Closing and there is a monetization agreement in place as provided in Section 2.11(c), the Emergent Milestone Shares (collectively the “Escrowed Shares”), as applicable, with the Escrow Agent as follows:

(a) Total Lease Liability Shares. The Total Lease Liability Shares, if any, shall be held during the Contingent Term and shall be released in accordance with Section 2.11(b)(iii) hereof and the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(b) Emergent Milestone Shares. The Emergent Milestone Shares, if any, shall be held during the Contingent Term and shall be released in accordance with Section 2.11(c) hereof and the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(c) Information Regarding Release of Escrowed Shares. (i) In connection with any determination by Parent that any Escrowed Shares should be released under the Escrow Agreement, (ii) at least 10 business days prior to the termination of the Escrow Agreement, and (iii) periodically as may be reasonably requested by the Stockholder Representative (but no more often than once per fiscal quarter), Parent shall provide a statement of its calculation of the Escrowed Shares to be released, either to the holders of Company Common Stock as of the Effective Time or to Parent, based on all then-current information held by Parent, together with reasonable documentation in support for such calculation.

Section 4.21(c) of Parent Disclosure Schedule identifies and provides a brief description of all other Parent Intellectual Property Rights as of the date hereof that are material to the business of Parent and its Subsidiaries.

(d) Section 4.21(d) of Parent Disclosure Schedule sets forth (i) each Contract pursuant to which any Parent Intellectual Property Right is or has been licensed, sold, assigned, or otherwise conveyed or provided to Parent or its Subsidiaries (other than (A) agreements between Parent or any of its Subsidiaries and their respective employees in the their standard forms thereof and (B) non-exclusive licenses to third-party software that is not incorporated into, or used in the development, manufacturing, testing, distribution, maintenance, or support of, any product of Parent or its Subsidiaries and that is not otherwise material to the business of any of Parent or its Subsidiaries); and (ii) whether the licenses or rights granted to Parent or its Subsidiaries in each such Contract are exclusive or non-exclusive.

(f) To the Knowledge of Parent, all Registered Parent Intellectual Property Rights are valid and subsisting, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i) Each item of Registered Parent Intellectual Property Rights owned by Parent and, to the Knowledge of Parent, each item of Registered Parent Intellectual Property Rights licensed to Parent, is in compliance with all legal requirements and all filings, payments, and other actions required to be made or taken to maintain such item of Registered Parent Intellectual Property Rights in full force and effect have been made by the applicable deadline.

(ii) As of the Closing Date, in connection with the Registered Parent Intellectual Property Rights identified on Sections 4.21(a) and 4.21(b) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, all necessary registration, maintenance and renewal fees have been paid and all necessary documents and certificates have been filed with the relevant Governmental Authorities.

As used in this Agreement, a “Competing Proposal” means, any proposal or offer (other than this Agreement and the Merger), whether in writing or otherwise, from any Person or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than Parent, Merger Sub or any Affiliates thereof (a “Third Party”), to (1) acquire beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of twenty percent (20%) or more of any class of equity securities of the Company or (2) twenty percent (20%) or more of the assets (based on the fair market value thereof) of the Company or a material portion of the Company Intellectual Property Rights, in each case pursuant to a merger, consolidation or other business combination, sale of shares of stock, sale of assets, tender offer, exchange offer or similar transaction or series of related transaction; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.3 shall prohibit the Company or its Representatives from considering or determining to effect a liquidation of the Company, whether proposed by a Third Party or pursuant to the Company’s board of directors’ exercise of their fiduciary duties.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of any of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.3 by any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a breach by the Company of this Section 5.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, (i) the Company has complied with this Section 5.3, and (ii) the Company Board of Directors reasonably determines in good faith that a Competing Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Competing Proposal (as such term is defined below), or that a liquidation of the Company, taking into account all then known and relevant facts and circumstances, in its good faith judgment, is more favorable from a financial point of view to the Company’s stockholders than the Merger, then, after consultation with, and based upon the advice of, its outside legal counsel, that such action is necessary for the Company Board of Directors to comply with its fiduciary duties to the holders of Company Common Stock under Law or writ, judgment, injunction, consent, order, decree, stipulation, award or executive order of or by any Governmental Authority (each, an “Order”), the Company may, subject to the Company’s providing prompt (but in any event within thirty-six (36) hours) prior written notice to Parent of its decision to take such action and compliance by the Company with Section 5.3(d), furnish information with respect to the Company to, and participate in discussions and

negotiations directly or through its Representatives with, any such Third Party, subject to a confidentiality agreement not materially less favorable to the Company than the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in Section 6.4(b) hereof), provided, that all such information not already provided to the Parent is provided to the Parent prior to or as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within thirty-six (36) hours) after it is provided to such Third Party. For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Competing Proposal” shall mean a bona fide, unsolicited 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) taking into account, among other things, all legal, financial, regulatory, timing and other aspects of the offer and the Third Party making the offer, are more favorable from a financial point of view to the holders of Company Common Stock than the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, after consultation with, and based upon the advice of, its outside legal counsel, that (i) such action is necessary for the Company Board of Directors to comply with its fiduciary duties to the holders of Company Common Stock under Law or an Order, and (ii) such Competing Proposal is reasonably capable of being consummated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.3(b) shall prohibit the Company or its Representatives from considering or determining to effect a liquidation of the Company, whether proposed by a Third Party or pursuant to the Company’s Board of Directors’ exercise of their fiduciary duties.

(c) Neither the Company Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw or modify, or propose or resolve to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the approval and recommendation by the Company Board of Directors of the Merger, this Agreement, the “agreement of merger” (as such term is used in section 251 of the DGCL) contained herein, and all other agreements, instruments and documents to be executed by Parent, Merger Sub and the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by such agreements (each, a “Transaction Document”), the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and the actions taken in connection herewith and therewith, (ii) approve or recommend, or propose or resolve to approve or recommend, any Competing Proposal, (iii) approve or recommend, or propose or resolve to approve or recommend, or execute or enter into, 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 (“Acquisition Agreement”), (iv) approve or recommend, or propose or resolve to approve or recommend, or execute or enter into, any agreement (written or oral) requiring it to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Merger, this Agreement, any Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (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, or (vi) propose or agree to do any of the foregoing constituting or related to, or that is intended to or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Competing Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to

obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, either in response to a Superior Competing Proposal that was not solicited, initiated, intentionally encouraged, participated in or otherwise facilitated by the Company in breach of Section 5.3(b), or pursuant to a decision by the Company Board of Directors to effect a liquidation of the Company, the Company Board of Director may, if it determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel) that the failure to do so would result in a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Company Board of Directors to the Company stockholders under Law or any Order, (1) modify, or propose or resolve to modify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the approvals and recommendations of the Company Board of Directors of the Merger, or the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Transaction Documents, or (2) terminate the Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(f), but in each case only (x) at a time that is after the second (2^nd) Business Day following Parent’s receipt of written notice advising Parent that the Company Board of Directors is prepared to take such action (during which period the Company shall negotiate in good faith with Parent concerning any amendment of the terms of the Merger by Parent or Merger Sub or any proposal by Parent or Merger Sub to amend the terms of this Agreement or the Merger (a “New Parent Proposal”)), specifying therein all of the terms and conditions of such Superior Competing Proposal or the basis for its decision to effect a liquidation of the Company, and identifying the Person or group making such Superior Competing Proposal or, if applicable, proposing a liquidation and (y) if, after the end of such two (2) Business Day period, the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisor) that such proposed transaction continues to be a Superior Competing Proposal or that a liquidation of the Company, taking into account all then known and relevant facts and circumstances, in its good faith judgment that liquidation is more favorable from a financial point of view to the Company’s stockholders than the Merger or any New Parent Proposal. 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, and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to enforce, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, each confidentiality agreement entered into pursuant to this Section 5.3 and any other confidentiality agreement to which the Company is or becomes a party.

(d) In addition to the obligations set forth in Sections 5.3(a), (b) and (c), the Company shall advise Parent orally and, if requested by Parent, in writing of (i) any Competing Proposal or any offer, proposal or inquiry with respect to or which could reasonably be expected to lead to any Competing Proposal received by any officer or director of the Company or, to the knowledge of the Company, other Representative of the Company, (ii) the terms and conditions of such Competing Proposal (including a copy of any written proposal) and (iii) the identity of the person or group making the offer, proposal or inquiry for any such Competing Proposal immediately (but in any event within thirty-six (36) hours) following receipt by the Company or any officer or director of the Company or, to the knowledge of the Company, any other Representative of the Company of such Competing Proposal offer, proposal or inquiry. If the Company or its subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives participates in substantive discussions or any negotiations with, or provides material information in connection with any such Competing Proposal, the Company shall keep Parent advised on a current basis of any developments with respect thereto. The Company agrees to notify Parent immediately if the Company Board of Directors determines that a Competing Proposal is a Superior Competing Proposal.

(e) Nothing contained in this Section 5.3 or any other provision hereof shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board of Directors from taking and disclosing to the Company 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 that is consistent with its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Company Board of Directors may either, except as provided by Section 5.3(c), (i) modify, or propose publicly to modify, in a manner adverse to Parent and Merger Sub, the approvals or recommendations of the Company Board of Directors of the Merger or this Agreement and the “agreement of merger” (as such term is used in Section 251 of the DGCL) contained herein, or (ii) approve or recommend a Competing Proposal, or propose publicly to approve or recommend a Competing Proposal.

(f) Nothing in this Section 5.3 shall permit the Company to terminate this Agreement (except as expressly provided in Section 5.3(c) or Section 8).

9. STOCKHOLDER REPRESENTATIVE

9.1 Appointment of Stockholder Representative. Solely for purposes of an dispute that survives the Closing pursuant to Section 2.11 hereof, the Stockholder Representative is hereby appointed, authorized and empowered to be the exclusive proxy, representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of the Company stockholders, with full power of substitution, to make all decisions and determinations and to act and execute, deliver and receive all documents, instruments and consents on behalf of and as agent for such stockholder at any time in connection with, and that may be necessary or appropriate to accomplish the intent and implement the provisions of, Section 2.11 of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and to facilitate the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, and in connection with the activities to be performed by or on behalf of such stockholder under Section 2.11 of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. By executing this Agreement, the Stockholder Representative accepts such appointment, authority and power. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Stockholder Representative shall have the power to take any of the following actions on behalf of the Company stockholders: to execute, deliver and perform the Escrow Agreement; to give and receive notices, communications and consents hereunder and under the Escrow Agreement; to negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, resolve and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators or other third-party intermediaries with respect to any disputes arising under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement; and to make, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such other agreements, guarantees, orders, receipts, endorsements, notices, requests, instructions, certificates, stock powers, letters and other writings, and, in general, to do any and all things and to take any and all action that the Stockholder Representative, in its sole and absolute discretion, may consider necessary or proper or convenient in connection with or to carry out the activities described in this Section 9.1 and the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Escrow Agreement.

9.2 Authority. The appointment of the Stockholder Representative by each stockholder is coupled with an interest and may not be revoked in whole or in part (including, without limitation, upon the death or incapacity of any stockholder). Such appointment shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, estates, personal Representatives, officers, directors, security holders, successors and assigns of each stockholder. All decisions of the Stockholder Representative shall be final and binding on all of the stockholders, and no stockholder shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. Parent shall be entitled to rely upon, without independent investigation, any act, notice, instruction or communication from the Stockholder Representative and any document executed by the Stockholder Representative on behalf of any stockholder and shall be fully protected in connection with any action or inaction taken or omitted to be taken in reliance thereon absent willful misconduct. The Stockholder Representative shall not be responsible for any loss suffered by, or liability of any kind to, the stockholders arising out of any act done or omitted by the Stockholder Representative in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Stockholder Representative’s duties hereunder, unless such act or omission involves gross negligence or willful misconduct.

9.3 Resignation. The Stockholder Representative may resign by providing thirty (30) days prior written notice to Parent. Upon the resignation of the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholder Representative shall appoint a replacement Stockholder Representative to serve in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that such appointment shall be subject to such newly-appointed Stockholder Representative’s notifying Parent in writing of its appointment and appropriate contact information for purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and Parent shall be entitled to rely upon, without independent investigation, the identity of such newly-appointed Stockholder Representative as set forth in such written notice.

10.3 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 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.

10.4 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.

10.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all exhibits and schedules hereto), and other documents and instruments delivered in connection herewith constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings (other than the Confidentiality Agreement), both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

10.6 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise, except that Parent and Merger Sub may assign all or any of their rights hereunder to any Affiliate, provided that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning Party 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.

10.7 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

10.8 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.

10.9 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 of Delaware (or, if such court lacks jurisdiction, any appropriate state or federal court in New Castle County in the State of Delaware), in the event of any dispute related to or arising out of 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 except in such courts; (c) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court; (d) waives any right to trial by jury with respect to any action related to or arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby; and (e) consents to service of process by delivery pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof.

10.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

10.11 Knowledge. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “knowledge of the Company”, and all variations thereof, means that, based on the actual knowledge as of the date hereof of the individuals identified in Section 9.11 of the Company Disclosure Schedule such individual is not aware of any facts that make the statement, to which such term is applied, untrue. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “knowledge of the Parent”, and all variations thereof, means that, based on the actual knowledge as of the date hereof of the individuals identified in Section 10.11 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, such individual is not aware of any facts that make the statement, to which such term is applied, untrue.
