ARTICLE III
EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES
Section 3.1 Effect on Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and
without any action on the part of the Company, Acquisition Sub or the holders of any securities of
the Company or Acquisition Sub:
(a) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Buyer-Owned Stock. Each share of common stock
of the Company, par value $0.02 per share, including the associated Company Rights (as defined
herein) (the “Company Common Stock”), owned by the Company or any of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries or held by Buyer or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled, retired and shall cease
3
to exist, and no
consideration or payment shall be delivered in exchange therefor or in respect thereof.
(b) Conversion of Company Securities.
(i) Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the Effective Time (other than shares cancelled pursuant to Section 3.1(a) hereof and
Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration,
in cash, without interest. As of the date hereof, prior to any adjustments pursuant to
Section 3.1(c), and without giving effect to (i) any change in the number of outstanding
Company Common Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Company Options, and (ii) the equitable
adjustment to the exercise prices of the Company Options or the number of outstanding
Company Options and Restricted Stock Units, in each case that will be effected in
connection with the Spin-Off pursuant to Article V of the Employee Matters Agreement (the
“Equity Adjustment”), the Merger Consideration would be equal to $15.02 per share
of Company Common Stock. “Merger Consideration” shall mean the quotient obtained
by dividing (a) the sum of (i) the Aggregate Purchase Price and (ii) product of (1) the
weighted average exercise price for all In-the-Money Options immediately following the
Equity Adjustment (the “Equity Adjustment Date”), multiplied by (2) the aggregate
number of shares of Company Common Stock into which all In-the-Money Options are
convertible as of the Equity Adjustment Date, by (b) the result of subtracting (i) the
number of shares of Company Common Stock into which all Out-of-the-Money Options would be
convertible as of the Equity Adjustment Date from (ii) the aggregate number of shares of
Company Common Stock on a fully diluted basis (including all Company Options and
Restricted Stock Units) as of the Equity Adjustment Date. “Aggregate Purchase
Price” shall mean $360,000,000 (three hundred and sixty million dollars), as may be
adjusted by application of Section 3.1(c).
(ii) Each share of Company Common Stock to be converted into the right to receive the
applicable Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(i) shall be automatically
cancelled and shall cease to exist and the holders of certificates (the
“Certificates”) or book-entry shares (“Book-Entry Shares”) that
immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such Company Common Stock shall cease
to have any rights with respect to such Company Common Stock other than the right to
receive, upon surrender of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with
Section 3.2 of this Agreement, the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon.
(c) Merger Consideration Adjustment. The Aggregate Purchase Price shall be adjusted
in the following manner:
(i) As soon as practicable prior to the Effective Time, but in any event at least 14
days prior to the Stockholders’ Meeting, the Company shall provide
4
Buyer with a schedule
setting forth the determination of the CPEX Value, which determination shall be final and
binding on the Company and Buyer for purposes of this Agreement.
(ii) The Aggregate Purchase Price shall be reduced by the sum of (A) the product of
(i) the excess, if any, of (x) the CPEX Value over (y) the sum of (1) $65,000,000 and (2)
the amount determined under clause (B) below, and (ii) the applicable Tax rate(s) as would
be imposed by Section 11(b)(1) of the Code assuming no taxable income other than the
excess determined under clause (A)(i) above, and (B) the product of (i) the excess, if
any, of (x) the CPEX Value over (y) $34,000,000 and (ii) 8.5%.
(d) Conversion of Acquisition Sub Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of
the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, each share of common stock,
par value of $0.01 per share, of Acquisition Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall be converted into and become one (1) fully paid share of common stock, par
value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation and constitute the only outstanding shares of
capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.
(e) Adjustments. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any
time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the
number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall occur as a result of a reclassification,
recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split), or combination, exchange or
readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or stock distribution with a record date during such
period, in each case, other than pursuant to the Spin-Off, the applicable Merger Consideration as
provided in Section 3.1(b) shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.
Section 3.2 Exchange of Company Common Stock.
(a) Designation of Paying Agent; Deposit of Exchange Fund. Prior to the Effective
Time, Buyer shall designate a paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) reasonably acceptable to
the Company for the payment of the applicable Merger Consideration as provided in Section
3.1(b)(i). At or prior to the Effective Time, Buyer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited with
the Paying Agent for the benefit of holders of shares of Company Common Stock, cash constituting an
amount equal to the Merger Consideration (such Merger Consideration as deposited with the Paying
Agent, the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose that is
not expressly provided for in this Agreement.
(b) As promptly as practicable following Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause
the Paying Agent to mail (and to make available for collection by hand) to each holder of record of
a Certificate or Book-Entry Share, which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented
outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (x) a letter of transmittal, which shall specify that
delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the
5
Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as
applicable, shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in
lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent and which shall be in the form and have such
other provisions as Buyer and the Company may reasonably specify and (y) instructions for use in
effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the applicable
Merger Consideration into which the number of shares of Company Common Stock previously represented
by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement
(which instructions shall provide that at the election of the surrendering holder, Certificates or
Book-Entry Shares may be surrendered, and the applicable Merger Consideration in exchange therefor
collected, by hand delivery).
(c) After the Effective Time, upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu
thereof) or Book-Entry Share for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with a letter of
transmittal duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and
such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such
Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the applicable
Merger Consideration for each share of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such
Certificate or Book-Entry Share, to be mailed (or made available for collection by hand if so
elected by the surrendering holder) as soon as reasonably practicable, after which the Certificate
(or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall be forthwith
cancelled. The Paying Agent shall accept such Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof)
or Book-Entry Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Paying Agent
may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. No
interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates or Book-Entry
Shares on the applicable Merger Consideration (or the cash pursuant to Section 3.2(d)) payable upon
the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.
(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains
undistributed to the holders of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for twelve (12) months after
the Effective Time shall be delivered to Buyer (or its designee), upon demand, and any such holders
prior to the Merger who have not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look
only to Buyer (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws), as general creditors
thereof for payment of their claim for cash, without interest, to which such holders may be
entitled.
(e) No Liability. None of Buyer, Acquisition Sub, the Company, the Surviving
Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any cash held in the
Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat
or similar Law. If any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall not have been surrendered prior to
one year after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any cash in
respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share would otherwise escheat to or become the property
of any Governmental Authority), any such cash in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share
shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the
6
property of Buyer, free and clear of
all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.
(f) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest the cash included in
the Exchange Fund as directed by Buyer or, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation in
(i) direct obligations of the United States of America, (ii) obligations for which the full faith
and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for payment of all principal and
interest, or (iii) commercial paper obligations receiving the highest rating from either Xxxxx’x
Investor Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s, a division of The McGraw Hill Companies, or a
combination thereof. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid
to and be income of Buyer. If for any reason (including losses) the cash in the Exchange Fund
shall be insufficient to fully satisfy all of the payment obligations to be made in cash by the
Paying Agent hereunder, Buyer shall promptly deposit cash into the Exchange Fund in an amount which
is equal to the deficiency in the amount of cash required to fully satisfy such cash payment
obligations.
Section 3.3 Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units.
(a) Treatment of Options. Each Company Option outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action
on the part of any holder of any Company Option, become fully vested and be cancelled and converted
into the right to receive at the Effective Time, as promptly as reasonably practicable following
the Effective Time, a cash payment with respect thereto equal to the product of (a) the excess, if
any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of such Company Option
multiplied by (b) the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such
Company Option (the “Option Cash Payment”), less any applicable withholding taxes. If the
applicable exercise price of any Company Option equals or exceeds the Merger Consideration, such
Company Option shall be cancelled at the Effective Time without payment of consideration, and all
rights with respect to such Company Option shall terminate as of the Effective Time. As of the
Effective Time, all Company Options shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically cease to
exist, and each holder of a Company Option shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto,
except the right to receive the Option Cash Payment, if any.
(b) Treatment of Restricted Stock Units. As of the Effective Time, each Restricted
Stock Unit that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, by
virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of any Restricted Stock Unit,
become fully vested and be cancelled and converted into the right to receive at the Effective Time,
as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, a cash payment with respect
thereto equal to the Merger Consideration (the “Restricted Stock Unit Payment”), less any
applicable withholding taxes. As of the Effective Time, all Restricted Stock Units shall no longer
be outstanding and shall automatically cease to exist, and each holder of a Restricted Stock Unit
shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Restricted
Stock Unit Payment.
7
(c) Necessary Action. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take any and all
actions necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 3.3, including, without limitation,
providing holders of Company Options and Restricted Stock Units with notice of their rights with
respect to any such Company Options and Restricted Stock Units as provided herein.
Section 3.4 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or
destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to
be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such
person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity
against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent
will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Merger
Consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to this Article III.
Section 3.5 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding Section 3.1(b) hereof, to the extent that
holders thereof are entitled to appraisal rights under Section 262 of Delaware Law, shares of
Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a
holder who has properly exercised and perfected his or her demand for appraisal rights under
Section 262 of Delaware Law (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right
to receive the applicable Merger Consideration, but, instead, the holders of such Dissenting Shares
shall be entitled to receive such consideration as shall be determined pursuant to Section 262 of
Delaware Law; provided, however, that if any such holder shall have failed to
perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost his or her right to appraisal and payment under
Delaware Law, such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock shall thereupon be deemed to have been
converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration,
without any interest thereon, and such shares shall not be deemed to be Dissenting Shares. The
Company shall give Buyer (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal filed pursuant to Section
262 of Delaware Law received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments
served or delivered in connection with such demands pursuant to Delaware Law and received by the
Company and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to
demands made pursuant to Section 262 of Delaware Law. The Company shall not (x) make any payment
with respect to any such demand, (y) offer to settle, settle or approve any withdrawal or other
treatment of, any such demand or (z) waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for
appraisal or timely take any other action to perfect appraisal rights in accordance with Delaware
Law, except in each case with the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided that no such consent shall be
required if such actions are required by Delaware Law or court order. Any payments required to be
made with respect to the Dissenting Shares shall be made by Buyer (and not the Company or
Acquisition Sub) and the Merger Consideration shall be reduced, on a dollar for dollar basis, as if
the holder of such Dissenting Shares had not been a stockholder on the Closing Date.
Section 3.6 Transfers; No Further Ownership Rights. After the Effective Time, there shall
be no registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of shares of Company
Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If Certificates are
presented to the Surviving Corporation for transfer following the Effective Time, they shall be
cancelled against delivery of the applicable Merger Consideration, for each share of Company Common
Stock formerly represented by such Certificates.
8
Section 3.7 Withholding Rights. Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as
applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable
pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock, Company Options or
Restricted Stock Units, as applicable, such amounts as Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or the
Paying Agent, as the case may be, is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of
such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent
that amounts are so withheld and timely paid over to the appropriate taxing authority by Buyer, the
Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes
of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock, Company
Options or Restricted Stock Units, as applicable.
ARTICLE IV
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY
Except as expressly stated, no representations and warranties are being made in this Agreement
by the Company with respect to CPEX or the Drug Delivery Business, including by referencing the
Company’s subsidiaries, but solely to the extent that the matters relating to CPEX and the Drug
Delivery Business that would otherwise be disclosed pursuant to such representations and warranties
would not have any adverse impact on the Company after giving effect to the Spin-Off and would not
reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions
hereunder. Except as set forth in the disclosure schedule delivered by the Company to Buyer
immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”)
(with specific reference to the particular Section or subsection of this Agreement to which the
information set forth in such disclosure schedule relates, provided, that the information
in any section or paragraph of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall qualify the other Sections and
subsections of this Agreement to the extent that the relevance of such information to such other
Sections and subsections is reasonably apparent from a reading of such information), the Company
represents and warrants to Buyer and Acquisition Sub as follows:
Section 4.1 Organization and Qualification; Subsidiaries.
(a) Each of the Company and its subsidiaries is a corporation or legal entity duly organized
or formed, validly existing and in good standing, under the laws of its jurisdiction of
organization or formation, and is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation to do
business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties
owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification or licensing
necessary, except for such failures to be so qualified or licensed and in good standing as have not
had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company
Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Company and its subsidiaries has the requisite corporate,
partnership or limited liability company power and authority, as applicable, except where the
9
failure to have such power and authority has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.
(b) Section 4.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule lists each of the Company’s subsidiaries
(excluding CPEX) and, for each such subsidiary, the jurisdiction of incorporation or formation, as
the case may be. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of, or other equity
interests in, each such subsidiary of the Company have been validly issued and are fully paid and
non-assessable and are owned directly or indirectly by the Company free and clear of all pledges,
liens, charges, encumbrances or security interests of any kind or nature whatsoever, and free of
any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such capital stock or other
equity interests.
Section 4.2 Company Certificate and Company By-laws. The Company has made available to
Buyer a complete and correct copy of the Certificate of Incorporation and the By-laws (or

this Agreement a proxy statement (together with any amendments thereof or supplements thereto, the
“Proxy Statement”) relating to the meeting of the Company’s stockholders to be held to
consider the adoption and approval of this Agreement and the Merger. The Company shall include in
the Proxy Statement the text of this Agreement and the Company Recommendation (unless the board of
directors of the Company has changed, qualified, withheld or withdrawn, or publicly proposed to
change, qualify, withhold or withdraw the Company Recommendation, to the extent permitted under
Section 6.6(d)) and shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to respond as promptly as
practicable to any comments by the SEC staff in respect of the Proxy Statement. None of the
information included in the Proxy Statement will, at the time of the mailing of the Proxy Statement
or any amendments or supplements thereto, and at the time of the Stockholders’ Meeting, contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that no covenant is hereby
made by the Company with respect to any of the Buyer Information. The Proxy Statement will comply
as to form in all material respects with the provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder.
33
(b) Covenants of Buyer with Respect to the Proxy Statement. Buyer agrees and
covenants that none of the information with respect to Buyer or its subsidiaries (the “Buyer
Information”) supplied or to be supplied by Buyer for inclusion in the Proxy Statement will, at
the time of the mailing of the Proxy Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto, and at the
time of the Stockholders’ Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading.
(c) Cooperation. The Company, Buyer and Acquisition Sub shall cooperate and consult
with each other in preparation of the Proxy Statement. The Company shall promptly (but in no event
later than two (2) business days after receipt) notify Buyer or its counsel upon the receipt of any
comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC (whether oral or written) or any request from the SEC
or the staff of the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement and shall provide
Buyer with copies of all correspondence between the Company and its Representatives, on the one
hand, and the SEC and the staff of the SEC, on the other hand. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
prior to filing or mailing the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or
responding to any comments of the SEC or the staff of the SEC with respect thereto, the Company
shall provide Buyer a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response;
provided that Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or cause to be
provided its comments to the Company as promptly as reasonably practicable after such document or
response is transmitted to Buyer for its review. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
each of Buyer and Acquisition Sub will furnish to the Company the information relating to it
required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder to be set forth
in the Proxy Statement.
(d) Mailing of Proxy Statement; Amendments. As promptly as reasonably practicable
after the Proxy Statement has been cleared by the SEC, the Company shall mail the Proxy Statement
to the holders of Company Common Stock as of the record date established for the Stockholders’
Meeting. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any event or circumstance relating to the
Company or Buyer or any of either the Company or Buyer’s subsidiaries, or their respective officers
or directors, should be discovered by the Company or Buyer, respectively, which, pursuant to the
Securities Act or Exchange Act, should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Proxy
Statement, such party shall promptly inform the other. Each of Buyer, Acquisition Sub and the
Company agree to correct any material information provided by it for use in the Proxy Statement
which shall have become false or misleading. All documents (including the Proxy Statement) that
each of the Company and Buyer is responsible for filing with the SEC in connection with the Merger
will comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act.
Section 6.3
Stockholders’ Meetings. Subject to Section 6.6 hereof, the Company shall, as promptly as
reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement establish a record date for, duly call,
give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders, for the purpose of voting upon the
adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger (the
“Stockholders’ Meeting”), and the
Company shall hold the Stockholders’ Meeting; provided, however, that if the Spin-Off has not been
completed prior to the date of the
34
Stockholders’ Meeting, the Company shall be permitted to delay
or postpone convening the Stockholders’ Meeting to a date that is 14 days following the completion
of the Spin-Off. At such Stockholders’ Meeting, the Company shall, subject to Section 6.6(d)
hereof, recommend to its stockholders the adoption of this
Agreement and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and approval of the Merger (the
“Company Recommendation”) and, subject to Section 6.6(d), the Company shall also (i) use
all reasonable efforts to solicit or cause to be solicited from its stockholders proxies in favor
of adoption of this Agreement and consummation of the Merger and (ii) take all other reasonable
action necessary to secure the Requisite Stockholder Approval; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be obligated to recommend to its Stockholders the adoption of this Agreement or approval
of the Merger at its Stockholders’ Meeting to the extent that the board of directors of the Company
makes a Change of Recommendation in accordance with Section 6.6(d).
Section 6.4
Appropriate Action; Consents; Filings; Spin-Off.
(a) The parties hereto will use their respective reasonable best efforts to consummate and
make effective the transactions contemplated hereby and to cause the conditions to the Merger set
forth in Article VII to be satisfied including (i) the obtaining of all necessary actions or
nonactions, consents and approvals from Governmental Authorities or other persons necessary in
connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the making
of all necessary registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Authorities if any)
and the taking of all reasonable steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval from, or to avoid
an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Authority or other persons necessary in connection
with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the defending of any
lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement
or the consummation of the transactions performed or consummated by such party in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order
entered by any court or other Governmental Authority vacated or reversed, and (iii) the execution
and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Merger and other
transactions to be performed or consummated by such party in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto shall,
as promptly as practicable, make its respective filings, and thereafter make any other required
submissions under the Antitrust Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.
(b) Buyer and Acquisition Sub agree to use reasonable best efforts to obtain all consents
under any antitrust, competition or pharmaceutical Law that may be required by any foreign or U.S.
federal, state or local antitrust or competition Governmental Authority, or by the FDA or similar
Governmental Authority, in each case with competent jurisdiction, so as to enable the parties to
close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable, including
committing to or effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders, trust, or otherwise, as is
commercially reasonable, the sale or disposition of such assets or businesses as are required to be
divested (the “Divestiture”) to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of or
vacate or lift, any Order, that would otherwise have the effect of preventing or materially
delaying the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated by this
35
Agreement. Buyer shall have the sole and exclusive right, to propose,
negotiate, offer to commit and effect, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the
Divestiture of such assets of Buyer, the Company, or their respective subsidiaries or otherwise
offer to take or offer to commit (and if such offer is accepted, commit to and effect) to take any
action as may be required to avoid the entry of, dissolve, vacate or lift any such Order. Further,
and for the avoidance of doubt, Buyer will take any and all commercially reasonable actions
necessary in order to ensure that (x) no requirement for any non-action, a consent or approval of
any State Attorney General or other Governmental Authority, (y) no decree, judgment, injunction,
temporary restraining order or any other order in any suit or proceeding, and (z) no other matter
relating to any antitrust or competition Law which would preclude consummation of the Merger by the
Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any of Buyer, Acquisition Sub,
the Company or their respective affiliates be required to take or agree to take any such action,
that, individually or together with any other such actions, would reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition, business, assets or results of operations of
the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or an effect of similar magnitude on Buyer and
its subsidiaries.
(c) Each of Buyer and the Company shall give (or shall cause its respective subsidiaries to
give) any notices to third parties, and Buyer and the Company shall use, and cause each of its
subsidiaries to use, its reasonable best efforts to obtain any third party consents not covered by
paragraphs (a) and (b) above, necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Merger. Each of the
parties hereto will furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as
the other may request in connection with the preparation of any required governmental filings or
submissions and will cooperate in responding promptly to any inquiry from a Governmental Authority,
including promptly informing the other party of such inquiry, consulting in advance before making
any presentations or submissions to a Governmental Authority (considering in good faith the views
of the other party in any such presentation or submission), supplying each other with copies of all
material correspondence, filings or communications between either party and any Governmental
Authority with respect to this Agreement.
(d) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to complete the Spin-Off as promptly as
practicable; provided that nothing in this Section 6.4(d) shall require the board of
directors of the Company to take any action that would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties
under applicable Law.
(e) Each of Buyer and Acquisition Sub, on the one hand, and the Company on the other hand,
covenants and agrees that between the date hereof and the Effective Time or the date, if any, on
which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, each of Buyer, Acquisition Sub and the
Company shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective subsidiaries to, take or agree to
take any action that would prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby.
36
Section 6.5
Access to Information; Confidentiality.
(a) From the date hereof to the Effective Time or the date, if any, on which this Agreement is
terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company will
provide to Buyer (and its officers, directors, employees, accountants, consultants, legal counsel,
agents and other representatives, collectively, “Representatives”) reasonable access during
normal business hours to the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ properties, books, contracts and
records, personnel and other information as Buyer may reasonably request regarding the business,
assets, liabilities, employees and other aspects of the Company; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to provide access to any information or documents which
would, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, (i) breach any agreement with any third-party,
(ii) constitute a waiver of the attorney-client or other privilege held by the Company, or (iii)
otherwise violate any applicable Laws. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company has not provided, shall not be required to provide, and following the
Spin-Off the Company shall not have access to, the properties, books, contracts and records and
other information as it relates to the business, assets, liabilities, employees and other aspects
of the Drug Delivery Business, and neither the Company nor CPEX shall have any obligation at any
time to grant such access to Buyer; provided, however, that the Company shall
reasonably cooperate to provide requested information and access with respect to CPEX to the extent
reasonably related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company shall cause the
officers, employees, consultants, agents, accountants, attorneys and other Representatives of the
Company and its subsidiaries to reasonably cooperate with Buyer and Buyer’s Representatives in
connection with such investigation and examination, and Buyer and its Representatives shall
cooperate with the Company and its Representatives and shall use their reasonable efforts to
minimize any disruption to the business.
(b) The parties shall comply with, and shall cause their respective Representatives to comply
with, all of their respective obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement.
Section 6.6
No Solicitation of Competing Proposal.
(a) From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or the
date, if any, on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, and except as
otherwise provided for in this Agreement (including the other subsections of this Section 6.6), the
Company agrees that it shall not, nor shall it authorize or knowingly permit any of its
Representatives, or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or any of their respective Representatives
to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly facilitate or encourage (including
by way of providing material nonpublic information), or agree to, approve or endorse, any Competing
Proposal, (ii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any negotiations regarding, or
furnish to any person any material nonpublic information with respect to, any Competing Proposal,
(iii) enter into, continue or otherwise engage in discussions with any person
with respect to, any Competing Proposal, (iv) approve or recommend any Competing Proposal, (v)
enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any agreement or commitment to (x)
facilitate or consummate any Competing Proposal, (y) approve or endorse any Competing Proposal, (z)
in connection with any Competing Proposal, require it to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate
the Merger, (vi) amend or grant any waiver or release or approve any transaction
37
or redeem any
Company Rights under the Company Rights Agreement, except in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, or (vii) resolve, propose or agree to take any of the actions
prohibited by clauses (i) through (vi) of this sentence. The Company shall, and shall cause its
Representatives, subsidiaries, affiliates and their respective Representatives to, immediately
cease and cause to be terminated all existing solicitations, discussions or negotiations with
respect to any person conducted heretofore by the Company, any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or
their respective Representatives with respect to any Competing Proposal, and shall demand the
return or destruction of any information previously provided with respect to such activities,
discussions or negotiations, subject to the restrictions set forth in any applicable
confidentiality agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company
shall be permitted to terminate, amend, modify, waive or fail to enforce any provision of any
“standstill” or similar obligation of any person in order that such person may submit a Competing
Proposal if the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith after consultation with
the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors that failure to take such action would be
inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders
under applicable Law.
(b) Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in Section 6.6(a), if the Company receives a
bona fide written Competing Proposal that the board of directors of the Company determines in good
faith after consultation with the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors (i) constitutes a
Superior Proposal or (ii) could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, the
Company may, if its board of directors determines in good faith after consultation with the
Company’s outside legal and financial advisors that failure to take such action would be
inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, and subject to compliance with Section
6.6(e), take the following actions: (x) furnish nonpublic information with respect to the Company
and its subsidiaries to the third party making such Competing Proposal and (y) engage in
discussions or negotiations with the third party with respect to the Competing Proposal, in each
case if, and only if, (A) all such information has previously been provided to Buyer or is provided
to Buyer prior to or substantially concurrent with the time it is provided to such third party and
(B) prior thereto, the Company and such third party enter into a confidentiality and standstill
with such person that contains confidentiality and standstill provisions that are no less favorable
in the aggregate to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (an
“Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement”).
(c) Except as set forth in Section 6.6(d), neither the board of directors of the Company nor
any committee thereof shall (i)(A) change, qualify, withhold or withdraw, or publicly propose to
change, qualify, withhold or withdraw the Company Recommendation or (B) recommend, adopt or
approve, or propose publicly to recommend, adopt or approve, any Competing Proposal (any action
described in this clause (i) being referred to as a “Change of
Recommendation”) or (ii) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, or
allow the Company or any of its affiliates to execute or enter into, any letter of intent,
memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement,
option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other similar agreement
constituting or related to, any Competing Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality
38
Agreement referred to in Section 6.6(b)) (each of the documents referred to in this clause (ii)
shall be an “Acquisition Agreement”).
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.6(c), if at any time prior to obtaining the
Requisite Stockholder Approval, the board of directors of the Company has concluded in good faith
(after consultation with the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors and after complying
with and giving effect to all proposed adjustments to this Agreement offered by Buyer pursuant to
this Section 6.6(d)) (i)(x) in response to a bona fide written Competing Proposal that was
unsolicited, that such proposal is a Superior Proposal, and (y) that the failure of the board of
directors of the Company to change, qualify, withhold or withdraw the Company Recommendation would
be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary duties to the Company’s
stockholders under applicable Law, or (ii) in the absence of a Competing Proposal, the failure of
the board of directors of the Company to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’
exercise of their fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law, the board of
directors of the Company may, subject to complying with Section 8.2(a), (1) change, qualify,
withhold or withdraw the Company Recommendation and/or (2) in the case of clause (i) of this
sentence, terminate this Agreement to enter into a binding written agreement with respect to such
Superior Proposal in accordance with Section 8.1(g); provided, that the Company shall not
terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing clause (2) and any purported termination
pursuant to the foregoing clause (2) shall be void and of no force or effect unless, in advance of
or concurrently with such termination, the Company (X) pays the Company Termination Fee, as
required by Section 8.2, and (Y) simultaneously with such termination enters into an Acquisition
Agreement with respect to a Competing Proposal and terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section
8.1(g); provided, further that prior to taking any of the actions described in
clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence, the Company shall have given Buyer at least three (3)
business days’ written notice (it being understood and agreed that any material amendment to the
amount or form of consideration of the Superior Proposal shall require a new notice and a new three
(3) business day period) of the material terms of the Superior Proposal and the Company’s intention
to accept such Superior Proposal, and the Company shall, during such three (3) business day period,
negotiate in good faith with Buyer to make such adjustments to the Merger Consideration and other
terms and conditions of this Agreement such that such Competing Proposal would no longer constitute
a Superior Proposal. The board of directors of the Company shall promptly consider in good faith
(in consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) any proposed alteration of
the terms of this Agreement or the Merger proposed by Buyer in response to any Competing Proposal.
(e) In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in Section 6.6(a), (b) and (c),
the Company shall promptly (but in any event within 24 hours of receipt) notify
Buyer of any (i) Competing Proposal, (ii) the material terms and conditions of any such
Competing Proposal (including any material changes thereto), and (iii) the identity of the person
making any such Competing Proposal. The Company shall promptly provide to Buyer any non-public
information concerning the Company provided to any other person in connection with any Competing
Proposal that was not previously provided to Buyer and any such non-public information shall be
held by Buyer subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.
39
(f) Nothing contained in this Section 6.6 shall prohibit the Company or the board of directors
of the Company from (i) disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rules
14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any disclosure to its
stockholders if the board of directors of the Company has reasonably determined in good faith,
after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with
any applicable Law. The disclosures under this Section 6.6(f) shall not be a basis, in themselves,
for Buyer to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(f) so long as any such disclosure
rejects any Competing Proposal and reaffirms the Company Recommendation.
(g) As used in this Agreement, “Competing Proposal” shall mean any proposal or offer
from any third party (other than a proposal or offer by Buyer or any of its subsidiaries) relating
to, or any inquiry that would reasonably be expected to lead to (i) a merger, consolidation,
recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, joint venture, binding share exchange, business
combination or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries
pursuant to which any person or the stockholders of any person would own twenty-five percent (25%)
or more of any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries or
of any resulting parent company of the Company; or (ii) any direct or indirect acquisition or
purchase by any person, in one transaction or a series of transactions, that would constitute
twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the revenues, net income or assets of the Company and its
subsidiaries, taken as a whole (but exclusive of CPEX), or twenty-five percent (25%) or more of any
class of equity securities of the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries.
(h) As used in this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” shall mean a Competing Proposal for
or in respect of, or that if consummated would be reasonably likely to result in the ownership of,
at least a majority of, the outstanding Company Common Stock (or of the surviving entity in a
merger or the direct or indirect parent of the surviving entity in a merger) or all or
substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’, taken as a whole (but exclusive of CPEX),
assets, made by any person on terms that the board of directors of the Company determines in good
faith, after consultation with the Company’s financial and legal advisors, and considering such
factors as the board of directors of the Company in good faith considers to be appropriate
(including the conditionality and the timing, the likelihood of consummation of such proposal and
the financing thereof), to be more favorable to the Company and its stockholders than the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Merger. Reference to “this Agreement” and “the
Merger” in this Section 6.6(h) shall be deemed to include any proposed alteration of the terms of
this Agreement or the
Merger that is agreed to by Buyer after it receives written notice from the Company pursuant
to Section 6.6(e) of the existence of, the identity of the person making and the material terms and
conditions of, any Competing Proposal.
Section 6.7
Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.
(a) Buyer and Acquisition Sub agree that all rights to exculpation and indemnification for
acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether
40
asserted or claimed prior
to, at or after the Effective Time (including any matters arising in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement), now existing in favor of the current or former
directors, officers or employees, as the case may be, of the Company or its subsidiaries (other
than CPEX) as provided in their respective articles of association, certificates of incorporation
or bylaws (or comparable organization documents) or agreements shall survive the Merger and shall
continue in full force and effect. The Surviving Corporation shall (and Buyer shall cause the
Surviving Corporation to) indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and advance expenses to Indemnitees
with respect to all acts or omissions by them in their capacities as such at any time prior to the
Effective Time, to the fullest extent required by: (i) the Company Certificate or Company By-Laws
and the organizational documents of the Company’s subsidiaries (other than CPEX), each as in effect
on the date of this Agreement; and (ii) any indemnification agreements of the Company or its
subsidiaries (other than CPEX) as in effect on the date of this Agreement, copies of which have
been made available to Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.7(a) shall
affect the rights of any employee of CPEX existing pursuant to (i) the Company Certificate or
Company By-Laws and the organizational documents of the Company’s subsidiaries (other than CPEX),
each as in effect on the date of this Agreement; and (ii) any indemnification agreements of the
Company or its subsidiaries (other than CPEX) as in effect on the date of this Agreement.
(b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 6.7(a), during the period beginning as of the
Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, Buyer will: (i) indemnify
and hold harmless each Indemnitee against and from any costs or expenses (including attorneys’
fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in
connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, to the extent such claim, action, suit, proceeding or
investigation arises out of or pertains to: (A) any action or omission or alleged action or
omission in such Indemnitee’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries or affiliates; or (B) the Merger, the Merger Agreement and any transactions
contemplated hereby; and (ii) pay in advance of the final disposition of any such claim, action,
suit, proceeding or investigation the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of any Indemnitee upon
receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall
ultimately be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified; provided,
however, that the Surviving Corporation will not be liable for any settlement effected
without the Surviving Corporation’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned) and will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more
than one counsel for all Indemnitees in any jurisdiction with respect to any single such
claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation; provided that in the event any
Indemnitee’s interests conflict with those of another Indemnitee with respect to any single such
claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, the Surviving Corporation will be obligated to
pay fees and expenses of one separate counsel for each such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Section 6.7(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Surviving
Corporation shall not (and Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation not to) settle or compromise
or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any claim,
action, suit, proceeding or investigation for which indemnification may be sought under this
Section 6.7(b) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an
41
unconditional
release of all Indemnitees from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit, proceeding
or investigation.
(c) For six (6) years after the Effective Time, (i) Buyer shall maintain, or shall cause the
Surviving Corporation to maintain, in effect the Company’s current directors’ and officers’
liability insurance, as disclosed or made available to Buyer prior to the date hereof (or such
other insurance that is no less favorable to the Indemnitees than the Company’s current directors’
and officers’ liability insurance), in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the
Effective Time, covering each Indemnitee currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and
officers’ liability insurance policy, on terms with respect to such coverage and amounts no less
favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof; or (ii) Buyer or the Surviving
Corporation may substitute therefor a single premium tail policy with respect to such directors’
and officers’ liability insurance, as disclosed to Buyer prior to the date hereof, from an
insurance carrier with the same or better AM Best rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier
for such insurance policy, with a claims period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, and
policy limits, terms and conditions (including deductibles and exclusions) at least as favorable to
the directors and officers covered under such insurance policy as the limits, terms and conditions
in the existing policies of the Company; provided, that in connection with this Section
6.7(c), neither the Surviving Corporation nor Buyer shall be obligated to pay annual premiums (in
connection with any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy described in clause (c)(i)
above) in excess of the annual premiums set forth in Section 6.7(c)(i) of the Company Disclosure
Schedule, or pay a one-time premium (in connection with a single premium tail policy described in
clause (c)(ii) above) in excess of the amount set forth in Section 6.7(c)(ii) of the Company
Disclosure Schedule. It is understood and agreed that in the event such coverage cannot be
obtained for such amount or less, then the Surviving Corporation shall obtain the maximum amount of
coverage as may be obtained for such amount.
(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 9.1 or Section 9.6 hereof to the contrary,
this Section 6.7 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and shall be binding, jointly and
severally, on all successors and assigns of Buyer, the Surviving Corporation and its subsidiaries,
and shall be enforceable by the Indemnitees and their successors, heirs or representatives. In the
event that the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns consolidates with or
merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of
such consolidation or merger or transfers or conveys all or a majority of its properties and assets
to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be
made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation shall succeed to the
obligations set forth in this Section 6.7.
Section 6.8
Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt notice to Buyer, and Buyer
shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (i) any notice or other communication received by such
party from any Governmental Authority in connection with the this Agreement, the Merger or the
transactions contemplated hereby, or from any person alleging that the consent of such person is or
may be required in connection with the Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby, if the
subject matter of such communication or the failure of such party to obtain such consent could be
material to the Company, the Surviving Corporation
42
or Buyer and (ii) any inaccuracy of any
representation or warranty made by such party that would reasonably be expected to cause the
condition set forth in Section 7.2(a) or 7.3(a), respectively, not to be satisfied. The Company
shall give prompt notice to Buyer of, and cooperate with Buyer in connection with, (i) any actions,
suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced, pending, relating to, involving or, to the
Company’s knowledge, threatened against or otherwise affecting the Company, any of its subsidiaries
or their respective officers, directors or employees, which relate to this Agreement, the Merger or
the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) any stockholder litigation or claims against the
Company, any of its subsidiaries or their respective officers, directors or employees relating to
this Agreement, the Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby. No settlement in connection
with any claim, suit, hearing, proceeding or litigation referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above
shall be agreed to without Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Section 6.9
Public Announcements. Buyer and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing,
and give each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or otherwise
making any public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
including the Merger, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement
without the prior consent of the other (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), except as may be required by Law or any stock exchange listing agreement to which Buyer
or the Company is a party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be permitted to make
such announcements and disclosures as it reasonably deems necessary or advisable to the extent such
statements relate solely to the Spin-Off or the Drug Delivery Business. The parties agree that all
formal Company employee communication programs or announcements with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, shall be in the forms mutually agreed to by
the parties (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). The parties
agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement shall be in the form heretofore agreed to by the parties.
Section 6.10
Employee Matters.
(a) As of the Effective Time, all rights and obligations arising from any employment contract
or employment relationship existing in the Company or in any of its subsidiaries, shall be
transferred to the Surviving Corporation.
(b) During the twelve (12) month period commencing on the Effective Time, Buyer shall provide
or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide to (after giving effect to the Spin-Off) each
current employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company and any of its subsidiaries at
Closing (each, a “Company Employee” and collectively, the “Company Employees”) (i)
compensation no less favorable than the compensation being provided to Company Employees
immediately prior to the Effective Time (including equity-based compensation, as valued by Buyer in
good faith), and (ii) benefits under employee benefit plans that are the same or substantially
comparable in the aggregate to, in the sole discretion of Buyer, either (A) those currently
provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries to such employees under
43
the Company Benefit Plans as
of the Closing Date (excluding equity-based plans) or (B) those provided by Buyer and its
Subsidiaries to comparably situated employees from time to time during such twelve (12) month
period.
(c) For purposes of eligibility, vesting, determination of the level of benefits and benefit
accrual under the Employee Benefit Plans of Buyer, the Company, the Company’s subsidiaries and
their respective affiliates providing benefits to any Company Employees after the Closing (the
“New Plans”), and for purposes of accrual of vacation and other paid time off and severance
benefits under New Plans, each Company Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service
with the Company, the Company subsidiaries and their respective affiliates (and any additional
service with any predecessor employer) before the Closing, to the same extent as such Company
Employee was entitled, before the Closing, to credit for such service under any similar Company
Benefit Plan. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) each Company
Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New
Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan replaces coverage under a comparable Company
Benefit Plan in which such Company Employee participated immediately before the replacement; and
(ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits
to any Company Employee, Buyer shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and
actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such employee and his or her
covered dependents, and Buyer shall cause any eligible expenses incurred by such employee and his
or her covered dependents under any Company Benefit Plan during the portion of the plan year of the
New Plan ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to
be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance
and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered
dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such
New Plan.
(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as of the Effective Time, Buyer shall
cause the Surviving Corporation to honor in accordance with their terms all employment, change in
control, severance and other compensation agreements and arrangements existing prior to the
execution of this Agreement which are between the Company and any subsidiary and any Company
Employee and set forth in Section 6.10(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (each, a “Company
Executive Agreement”); subject, in each case, to any amendment or termination thereof that may
be permitted by the terms of such agreements or arrangements; provided, that no such
amendment or termination shall be effected by Buyer or the Surviving Corporation if it would
adversely affect an employee’s (or former employee’s) rights resulting from the or relating to the
Merger, this Agreement or the other transactions contemplated hereby. The Company and Buyer hereby
agree that the occurrence of the Closing shall constitute a “Change in Control” for
purposes of any Company Executive Agreement set forth in Section 6.10(d) of the Company Disclosure
Schedule.
(e)
Following the Effective Time, Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its subsidiaries to
honor any Company collective bargaining agreements, and to
44
preserve the status and
functions of any union representative of the current Company Employees, or any current Company
Employee serving as a liaison between the Company Employees and applicable unions, on the same
terms and subject to the same conditions as existed prior to the Effective Time.
(f) If requested by Buyer at least five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, the
Company shall take (or cause to be taken) all actions reasonably necessary or appropriate to
terminate, effective no later than the Effective Time, any Company Benefit Plan that contains a
cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code (a “Company
401(k) Plan”). If the Company is required to terminate any Company 401(k) Plan, then the
Company shall provide to Buyer prior to the Closing Date written evidence of the adoption by the
Board of Directors of the Company of resolutions authorizing the termination of such Company 401(k)
Plan (the form and substance of which resolutions shall be subject to the prior review and approval
of Buyer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(g) This Section 6.10 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the
parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 6.10, expressed or implied, is intended to
confer upon any other person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under
or by reason of this Section 6.10. Without limiting the foregoing, no provision of this
Section 6.10 will create any third party beneficiary rights in any current or former employee,
director or consultant of the Company or its subsidiaries in respect of continued employment (or
resumed employment) or any other matter. Nothing in this Section 6.10 is intended to amend any
Company Benefit Plan, or interfere with Buyer’s or the Surviving Corporation’s right from and after
the Effective Time to amend or terminate any Company Benefit Plan or the employment or provision of
services by any director, employee, independent contractor or consultant.
(h) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.10 shall not apply to any current or former
employees, officers, directors or consultants of CPEX.

contrary, this Agreement may be terminated and abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time,
whether before or after any approval of the matters presented in connection with the Merger by the
stockholders of the Company, as follows:
(a) by mutual written consent of each of Buyer and the Company;
(b) by either Buyer or the Company, if (i) the Effective Time shall not have occurred on or
before October 1, 2008 (the “Termination Date”) and (ii) the party seeking to terminate
this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) shall not have breached in any material respect its

efforts to remove such Order or other action; provided, however, that the right to
terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(c) shall not be available to a party if the
issuance
47
of such final, non-appealable Order was primarily due to the failure of such party to
perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligation
of Buyer and Acquisition Sub to take any and all commercially reasonable steps in accordance with
Section 6.4(b) of this Agreement so as to allow the parties to close the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement as promptly as practicable;
(d) by Buyer or the Company if the Requisite Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained
by reason of the failure to obtain such Requisite Stockholder Approval at a duly held Stockholders’
Meeting or at any adjournment or postponement thereof;
(e) by the Company, if Buyer shall have breached or failed to perform any of its
representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement, which

provided that the Company shall have given Buyer written notice, delivered at least thirty
(30) days prior to such termination, stating the Company’s intention to terminate this Agreement
pursuant to this Section 8.1(e) and the basis for such termination;
(f) by Buyer, if the Company shall have breached or failed to perform any of its
representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement, which
breach or failure to perform (1) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section
7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b) and (2) cannot be cured on or before the Termination Date,
provided that Buyer shall have given the Company written notice, delivered at least thirty
(30) days prior to such termination, stating Buyer’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant
to this Section 8.1(f) and the basis for such termination;
(g) by the Company, at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval, if the
Company or any of its affiliates shall enter into any Acquisition Agreement, pursuant to Section
6.6; provided, however, that the Company shall not terminate this Agreement
pursuant to this paragraph, and any purported termination pursuant to this paragraph shall be void
and of no force or effect, unless in advance of or concurrently with such termination the Company
pays the Company Termination Fee as provided in Section 8.2; or
(h) by Buyer, if (i) the Company shall have made a Change of Recommendation, pursuant to
Section 6.6; (ii) the board of directors of the Company fails to expressly reaffirm the Company
Recommendation within five (5) business days after a written request by Buyer to do so, (iii) the
Company fails to use its reasonable best efforts to effect the Spin-Off; or (iv) the Company
materially breaches its obligations under Section 6.6.
In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1, this Agreement shall
terminate without any liability or obligation on the part of Buyer, Acquisition Sub or the Company
under this Agreement, other than (a) with respect to a willful and material breach by a
48
party of
any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, in
which case such party shall be fully liable for any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or
expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred or suffered by the other party or
parties as a result of such failure or breach, (b) with respect to the Confidentiality Agreement
(which shall terminate in accordance with its terms), and (c) the provisions of Section 8.2
(including with respect to any Company Termination Fee that may be payable pursuant thereto),
Section 8.5 and Article IX.
Section 8.2 Termination Fees.
(a) If,
(i) (x) prior to the termination of this Agreement, any Competing Proposal is made to
the Company or is publicly proposed or publicly disclosed prior to, obtaining the
Requisite Stockholders’ Approval, (y) this Agreement is terminated by the Company or Buyer
pursuant to Section 8.1(b) (but only if at such time Buyer would not be prohibited from

twelve (12) months after such termination, (1) the Company enters into any definitive
agreement providing for the consummation of a Competing Proposal
(whether or not such agreement shall have been entered into with the person who made

contemplated by any such Competing Proposal (whether or not such Competing Proposal was
the Competing Proposal referred to in the foregoing clause (x)) are otherwise consummated;
(ii) this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(g);
(iii) this Agreement is terminated by Buyer pursuant to Section 8.1(h); or

Company has sufficient surplus under Delaware Law to make the distribution of CPEX common
stock and that each of the Company and CPEX will be solvent and adequately capitalized
after giving effect to the distribution;
49
then in any such event the Company shall pay to Buyer a fee of U.S.$13,000,000 (thirteen million
dollars) in cash (the “Company Termination Fee”) and the Company shall have no further
liability with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to Buyer (provided
that nothing herein shall release any party from liability for intentional breach or fraud), such

date of the first to occur of the events referred to in Section 8.2(a)(i)(z), (y) termination
pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(ii), in advance or concurrent with such termination, or (z) termination
pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(iii), or (iv), within two (2) business days after the termination of

referred to in this Section 8.2(a) on more than one occasion. Any such payment shall be reduced by
any amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under applicable Tax Law.
Section 8.3 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by mutual agreement of the parties
hereto by action taken by or on behalf of their respective boards of directors at any time prior to
the Effective Time; provided, however, that, after the adoption and approval of
this Agreement and the Merger by stockholders of the Company, there shall not be any amendment that
by Law or in accordance with the rules of any stock exchange requires further approval by the
stockholders of the Company without such further approval of such stockholders nor any amendment or
change not permitted under applicable Law. This Agreement may not be amended except by an
instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto.

of Section 8.3, waive compliance with any agreement or condition contained herein. Any such
extension or waiver shall only be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the
party or parties to be bound thereby.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the Company, Buyer or Acquisition Sub in
exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial
exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder. Any agreement
on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in
an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.
Section 8.5 Expenses. All Expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses;
provided, however, that (i) if this Agreement is terminated by Buyer or the Company
pursuant to Section 8.1(b) (but only if at such time the terminating party would not be prohibited
from terminating this Agreement by application of Section 8.1(b)(ii)), and at the time of such
termination (A) all conditions to this Agreement shall have been satisfied or waived (other than
those that are satisfied by action taken at the Closing) other than the condition set forth in
Section 7.1(d), and (B) the Company has failed to effect the Spin-Off due the failure of one or
more of the conditions set forth in Section 8.2(a)(iv)(ii)(x) or (y); and (ii) in the event that

8.2(a)(i)
50
(or could have been terminated under such section) and the circumstances referred to in
clause (x) of Section 8.2(a)(i) shall have occurred prior to such termination but the Company
Termination Fee has not been paid and is not payable because the circumstances referred to in
clause (z) of Section 8.2(a)(i) shall not have occurred, or (B) pursuant to Section 8.1(d), then in
either of cases (i) or (ii), the Company shall pay a fee in the amount of $2.0 million to reimburse
Buyer for expenses and other costs incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby (which expenses and costs need not be documented). Such payment shall be made
within two (2) business days after the termination of this Agreement; it being understood that in
no event shall the Company be required to make such payment in circumstances where the Company
Termination Fee is payable; it being further understood that in the event the Company Termination
Fee becomes due and payable, such fee shall be reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to this Section
8.5.

Agreement to an Article, Section or Exhibit, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of,

interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used
in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The
words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement
shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.
All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or

Section 9.4 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that if any of the provisions
of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise
breached, irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would
be difficult to determine, and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the
terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity, without any requirement to the
securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.
Section 9.5 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 so long as the
economic or legal substance of the Merger is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any
party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable
of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as
to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner
in order that the Merger be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
