The date on which Merger Subsidiary commences the Offer is referred to as the “Offer Commencement Date”.

(b) Merger Subsidiary expressly reserves the right to waive any of the Offer Conditions and to make any change in the terms of or conditions to the Offer; provided that, without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent may be granted or withheld by the Company in its sole discretion, Merger Subsidiary shall not:

(i) waive or change the Minimum Condition (as defined in Annex I);

(ii) decrease the Offer Price;

(iii) change the form of consideration to be paid in the Offer;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Merger Subsidiary shall extend the Offer (i) from time to time if, at the scheduled or extended expiration date of the Offer, any of the Offer Conditions (other than the Minimum Condition) shall not have been

satisfied or waived, until such Offer Conditions are satisfied or waived, (ii) from time to time if, at the scheduled or extended expiration date of the Offer all of the Offer Conditions (other than the Minimum Condition) have been satisfied or waived but the Minimum Condition is not satisfied, for a period of 5 business days (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the 0000 Xxx) (provided that the Offer shall not be required to be extended more than twice in-a-row pursuant to this clause (ii)), and (iii) for any period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or the staff thereof applicable to the Offer or any period otherwise required by Applicable Law; provided that Merger Subsidiary shall not be required to extend the Offer beyond the End Date unless Parent or Merger Subsidiary is not then permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.01(b)(i), in which case Merger Subsidiary shall be required to extend the Offer beyond the End Date. Following expiration of the Offer, Merger Subsidiary shall, if requested by the Company, or may, in its sole discretion, provide a subsequent offering period (“Subsequent Offering Period”) in accordance with Rule 14d-11 of the 1934 Act.

(d) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the requirements of Rule 14d-11 of the 1934 Act, and to the satisfaction or waiver of the Offer Conditions, Merger Subsidiary shall, and Parent shall cause it to, accept for payment and pay for, as promptly as practicable (i) after the expiration of the Offer, all Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer and (ii) all Shares validly tendered in the Subsequent Offering Period (the date on which Shares are first accepted for payment under the Offer, the “Acceptance Date”).

(e) As soon as practicable on the Offer Commencement Date, Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall (i) file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments and supplements thereto and including exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”) that shall include the summary term sheet required thereby and, as exhibits, the Offer to Purchase and a form of letter of transmittal and summary advertisement reflecting the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (collectively, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Offer Documents”) and (ii) cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to holders of Shares to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws. Each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company agrees promptly to correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become (or shall have become known to be) false or misleading in any material respect. Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Schedule TO as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and the Offer Documents as so corrected to be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws. The Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents each time before any such document is filed with the SEC, and Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by the Company

and its counsel. Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall provide the Company and its counsel with (i) any comments or other communications, whether written or oral, that Parent or Merger Subsidiary or their respective Affiliates or their counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer, the Schedule TO or Offer Documents promptly but in no event later than one Business Day after receipt of those comments or other communications and (ii) a reasonable opportunity to participate in the response of Parent and Merger Subsidiary to those comments and to provide comments on that response (to which reasonable and good faith consideration shall be given), including by participating with Parent and Merger Subsidiary or their counsel in any discussions or meetings with the SEC.

Section 2.02. Company Action. (a) The Company hereby consents to the Offer and represents that the board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”), at a meeting duly called and held, has (i) determined that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger, are fair to and in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders, (ii) approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger, in accordance with the requirements of the Delaware Law and (iii) resolved, subject to Section 7.04(b), to recommend acceptance of the Offer and adoption of this Agreement by its stockholders. The Company shall promptly furnish Parent with a list of its stockholders, mailing labels and any available listing or computer file containing the names and addresses of all record holders of Shares and lists of securities positions of Shares held in stock depositories, in each case true and correct as of the most recent practicable date, and shall provide to Parent such additional information (including updated lists of stockholders, mailing labels and lists of securities positions) and such other assistance as Parent may reasonably request in connection with the Offer.

(b) As soon as practicable on the Offer Commencement Date, the Company shall file with the SEC and disseminate to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws, the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that, subject to Section 7.04(b), shall reflect the recommendations of the Board of Directors referred to above. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Subsidiary agrees promptly to correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that it shall have become (or shall have become known to be) false or misleading in any material respect. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws. Parent, Merger Subsidiary and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 each time before it is filed with the SEC, and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent, Merger Subsidiary and their counsel. The Company shall provide Parent, Merger

Subsidiary and their counsel with (i) any comments or other communications, whether written or oral, that the Company or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly but in no event later than one Business Day after receipt of those comments or other communications and (ii) a reasonable opportunity to participate in the Company’s response to those comments and to provide comments on that response (to which reasonable and good faith consideration shall be given), including by participating with the Company or its counsel in any discussions or meetings with the SEC.

Section 2.03. Directors. (a) Effective upon the Acceptance Date, Parent shall be entitled to designate the number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, on the Board of Directors that equals the product of (i) the total number of directors on the Board of Directors (giving effect to the election of any additional directors pursuant to this Section) and (ii) the percentage that the number of Shares beneficially owned by Parent and/or Merger Subsidiary (including Shares accepted for payment) bears to the total number of Shares outstanding, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all actions necessary to cause Parent’s designees to be elected or appointed to the Board of Directors, including by increasing the number of directors, and seeking and accepting resignations of incumbent directors. At such time, the Company shall also use its reasonable best efforts to cause individuals designated by Parent to constitute the number of members, rounded up to the next whole number, on each committee of the Board of Directors that represents the same percentage as such individuals represent on the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the Effective Time, the Company, Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall use their reasonable best efforts to ensure that (A) the Board of Directors shall have at least such number of directors as may be required by the rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market or the federal securities laws who are considered independent directors within the meaning of such rules and laws (“Independent Directors”) and (B) each committee of the Board of Directors that is required by such rules or securities laws to be comprised solely of, or a majority of, Independent Directors shall be so comprised; provided, however, that in such event, if the number of Independent Directors shall be reduced below the number of directors as may be required by such rules or securities laws for any reason whatsoever, the remaining Independent Director(s) shall be entitled to designate persons to fill such vacancies who shall not be officers, directors, significant stockholders or designees of Parent, any of its Affiliates, Genentech or Chugai and who shall be deemed to be Independent Directors for all purposes of this Agreement, or, if no other Independent Director then remains, the other directors shall designate such number of directors as may be required by the rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market and the federal securities laws, to fill such vacancies who shall not be officers, directors, stockholders or designees of Parent, any of its Affiliates, Genentech or Chugai and such persons shall be deemed to be Independent Directors for all purposes of this Agreement.

(b) The Company’s obligations to appoint Parent’s designees to the Board of Directors shall be subject to Section 14(f) of the 1934 Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder. The Company shall promptly take all actions, and shall include in the Schedule 14D-9 such information with respect to the Company and its officers and directors, as Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 require in order to fulfill its obligations under this Section. Parent shall supply to the Company in writing and be solely responsible for any information with respect to itself and its nominees, officers, directors and affiliates required by Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1.

(c) Following the election or appointment of Parent’s designees pursuant to Section 2.03(a) and until the Effective Time, the approval of a majority of the directors of the Company then in office who were not designated by Parent (the “Continuing Directors”) shall be required to authorize (and such authorization shall constitute the authorization of the Board of Directors and no other action on the part of the Company, including any action by any other director of the Company, shall be required to authorize) (i) any termination of this Agreement by the Company, (ii) any amendment of this Agreement by the Company, (iii) any extension of time for performance of any obligation or action hereunder by Parent or Merger Subsidiary, (iv) any waiver of compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein for the benefit of the Company, (v) any agreement between the Company, on the one hand, and Parent, Merger Subsidiary, Genentech or Chugai or any of their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, and (vi) the taking of any action by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that would prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Merger.

Section 2.04. Top-Up Option. (a) Subject to Sections 2.04(b) and 2.04(c), the Company grants to Merger Subsidiary, an option irrevocable, for so long as this Agreement has not been terminated pursuant to the provisions hereof (the “Top-Up Option”), to purchase from the Company, up to the number of authorized and unissued Shares equal to the number of Shares that, when added to the number of Shares owned by Merger Subsidiary and any of its Affiliates at the time of the exercise of the Top-Up Option, constitutes one Share more than 90% of the Shares that would be outstanding immediately after the issuance of all Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Top-Up Option, calculated on a fully-diluted basis immediately prior to the Effective Time (such Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Top-Up Option, the “Top-Up Shares”).

(b) The Top-Up Option may be exercised by Merger Subsidiary in whole or in part, only once, at any time during the ten Business Day period following the Acceptance Date, or if any Subsequent Offering Period is provided, during the ten Business Day period following the expiration date of such Subsequent Offering Period, and only if Merger Subsidiary shall own as of such time less than 90% of the Shares outstanding on a fully-diluted basis; provided that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Top-Up Option shall not be exercisable if the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of

the Top-Up Option would exceed the number of authorized but unissued and unreserved Shares. The aggregate purchase price payable for the Top-Up Shares being purchased by Merger Subsidiary pursuant to the Top-Up Option shall be determined by multiplying the number of such Top-Up Shares by the Merger Consideration, without interest. Such purchase price may be paid by Merger Subsidiary, at its election, either (A) entirely in cash or (B) by paying in cash an amount equal to not less than the aggregate par value of such Top-Up Shares and by executing and delivering to the Company a promissory note having a principal amount equal to the balance of such purchase price. Any such promissory note shall bear interest at the rate of 3% per annum, shall mature on the first anniversary of the date of execution and delivery of such promissory note and may be prepaid without premium or penalty.

(c) In the event Merger Subsidiary wishes to exercise the Top-Up Option, Merger Subsidiary shall deliver to the Company a notice (the “Top-Up Notice”) setting forth (i) the number of Top-Up Shares that Merger Subsidiary intends to purchase pursuant to the Top-Up Option, (ii) the manner in which Merger Subsidiary intends to pay the applicable purchase price and (iii) the place and time at which the closing of the purchase of such Top-Up Shares by Merger Subsidiary is to take place. The Top-Up Notice shall also include an undertaking signed by Parent and Merger Subsidiary that, as promptly as practicable following such exercise of the Top-Up Option, Merger Subsidiary intends to (and Merger Subsidiary shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Subsidiary to, as promptly as practicable after such exercise) consummate the Merger in accordance with Section 253 of Delaware Law as contemplated by Section 9.05. At the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall cause to be delivered to the Company the consideration required to be delivered in exchange for the Top-Up Shares, and the Company shall cause to be issued to Merger Subsidiary a certificate representing the Top-Up Shares. The parties hereto agree to use their reasonable best efforts to cause the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Shares to occur on the same day that the Top-Up Notice is deemed received by the Company pursuant to Section 12.01, and if not so consummated on such day, as promptly thereafter as possible. The parties further agree to use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to be consummated in accordance with Section 253 of Delaware Law as contemplated by Section 9.05 as close in time as possible to (including, to the extent possible, on the same day as) the issuance of the Top-Up Shares.

(d) Parent and Merger Subsidiary understand that the Top-Up Shares will not be registered under the 1933 Act and will be issued in reliance upon an exemption thereunder for transactions not involving a public offering. Each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary represents, warrants and agrees that the Top-Up Option is being, and the Top-Up Shares will be, acquired by Merger Subsidiary for the purpose of investment and not with a view to or for resale in connection with any distribution thereof within the meaning of the 1933 Act. Any certificates

evidencing Top-Up Shares shall include any legends required by applicable securities laws.

(e) Any dilutive impact on the value of the Shares as a result of the issuance of the Top-Up Shares will not be taken into account in any determination of the fair value of any dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 262 of Delaware Law as contemplated by Section 3.04.

ARTICLE 3
THE MERGER

Section 3.01. The Merger. (a) At the Effective Time, Merger Subsidiary shall be merged (the “Merger”) with and into the Company in accordance with Delaware Law, whereupon the separate existence of Merger Subsidiary shall cease, and the Company shall be the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”).

(b) Subject to the provisions of Article 10, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place in New York City at the offices of Xxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx, 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, 00000 as soon as possible, but in any event no later than two Business Days after the date the conditions set forth in Article 10 (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permissible, waiver of those conditions at the Closing) have been satisfied or, to the extent permissible, waived by the party or parties entitled to the benefit of such conditions, or at such other place, at such other time or on such other date as Parent and the Company may mutually agree.

(c) At the Closing, the Company and Merger Subsidiary shall file a certificate of merger with the Delaware Secretary of State and make all other filings or recordings required by Delaware Law in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at such time (the “Effective Time”) as the certificate of merger is duly filed with the Delaware Secretary of State (or at such later time as may be specified in the certificate of merger).

(d) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all the rights, powers, privileges and franchises and be subject to all of the obligations, liabilities, restrictions and disabilities of the Company and Merger Subsidiary, all as provided under Delaware Law.

Section 3.02. Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time:

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.02(b), Section 3.02(c) or Section 3.04, each Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive the price paid per Share in the Offer in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). As of the Effective Time, all such Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled

and retired and shall cease to exist, and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

(b) Each Share held by the Company as treasury stock or owned by Parent or Merger Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

(c) Each Share held by any Subsidiary of either the Company or Parent (other than Merger Subsidiary) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into such number of shares of stock of the Surviving Corporation such that each such Subsidiary owns the same percentage of the outstanding capital stock of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time as such Subsidiary owned in the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Each share of common stock of Merger Subsidiary outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation (except for any such shares resulting from the conversion of Shares pursuant to Section 3.02(c)).

Section 3.03. Surrender and Payment. (a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint an agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging for the Merger Consideration (i) certificates representing Shares (the “Certificates”) or (ii) uncertificated Shares (the “Uncertificated Shares”). Parent shall make available to the Exchange Agent, as needed, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Certificates and the Uncertificated Shares. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each holder of Shares at the Effective Time a customary letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent) for use in such exchange.

(b) Each holder of Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive, upon (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, the Merger Consideration payable for each Share represented by a Certificate or for each Uncertificated Share. Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, each such Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

(c) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred

Uncertificated Share is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Share shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article 3.

(e) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 3.03(a) (and any interest or other income earned thereon) that remains unclaimed by the holders of Shares six months after the Effective Time shall be returned to the Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged such Shares for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.03 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to the Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of such Shares without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be liable to any holder of Shares for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of Shares immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the property of the Surviving Corporation free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 3.03(a) to pay for Shares for which appraisal rights have been perfected shall be returned to the Surviving Corporation, upon demand.

Section 3.04. Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding Section 3.02, Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has properly demanded appraisal for such Shares in accordance with Delaware Law shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, unless and until such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses the right to appraisal. If, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses the right to appraisal, 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 prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Shares, and Parent shall have the right

to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or offer to settle or settle, any such demands.

Section 3.05. Stock Options. At or immediately prior to the Effective Time, each option to purchase Shares outstanding under any employee stock option or compensation plan or arrangement of the Company (a “Company Stock Option”), whether or not vested or exercisable, shall be canceled, and the Company shall (and Parent shall cause the Company to) pay each holder of any such option at or promptly after the Effective Time for each such option an amount in cash determined by multiplying (a) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration per Share over the applicable exercise price of such option by (b) the number of Shares such holder could have purchased (assuming full vesting of all options) had such holder exercised such option in full immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Section 3.06. Warrants. As of and after the Effective Time, from time to time and at any time upon the exercise of any Company Warrants by any holder thereof, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Company to, deliver to such holder the amount of cash as if such holder had so exercised the Company Warrant for the Shares issuable upon such exercise of the Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Section 3.07. Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Company shall take all action that is necessary to (a) suspend all payroll deductions and cause the exercise of each outstanding purchase right under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Company ESPP”) not later than the Effective Time; (b) provide that no further purchase interval or offering period shall commence under the Company ESPP following that date; and (c) immediately prior to and effective as of the Effective Time and subject to the consummation of the Merger, terminate the Company ESPP.

Section 3.08. Adjustments. If, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class (including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of Shares, or stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period, but excluding any change that results from any exercise of options outstanding as of the date hereof to purchase Shares granted under the Company’s stock option, employee stock purchase or compensation plans or arrangements, the exercise of any Company Warrants or the exercise of the Top-Up Option to purchase the Top-Up Shares), the Offer Price, the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted.

Section 3.09. Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, each of the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the

consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to Articles 2 and 3 such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of Tax law. If the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, so withholds amounts, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of which the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 3.10. 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 Exchange Agent shall pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Shares represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article 3.

ARTICLE 4
THE SURVIVING CORPORATION

The certificate of incorporation of the Company in effect at the Effective Time shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until amended, in such case consistent with the provisions of Section 8.03, in accordance with Applicable Law.

Subject to Section 12.05, except as disclosed in any Company SEC Document filed after December 31, 2007 and before the date of this Agreement (the “Filed SEC Documents”) or as set forth in the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company represents and warrants to Parent that:

Section 5.01. Corporate Existence and Power. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the

laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted. The Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties it owns, operates or leases or the nature of its activities makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions where failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company has heretofore made available to Parent true and complete copies of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company as currently in effect.

Section 5.02. Corporate Authorization. (a) The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and, except for the approval of the Company’s stockholders in connection with the consummation of the Merger (if required by Applicable Law), this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares (if required by Applicable Law) is the only vote of the holders of any of the Company’s capital stock necessary in connection with the consummation of the Merger (the “Company Stockholder Approval”). This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity).

(b) At a meeting duly called and held, the Board of Directors (i) determined that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are fair to and in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders, (ii) approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and (iii) resolved, subject to Section 7.04(b), to recommend acceptance of the Offer and adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company (such recommendation, the “Company Board Recommendation”).

Section 5.03. Governmental Authorization.

absence of which would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.04. Non-contravention. Except as set forth in Section 5.04 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (a) contravene, conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, (b) assuming compliance with the matters referred to in Section 5.03, contravene, conflict with or result in a violation or breach of any provision of any Applicable Law, (c) assuming compliance with the matters referred to in Section 5.03, require any consent or other action by any Person under, constitute a default, or an event that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default, under, or cause or permit the termination, cancellation, acceleration or other change of any right or obligation or the loss of any benefit to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is entitled under any provision of any agreement or other instrument binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any license, franchise, permit, certificate, approval or other similar authorization affecting, or relating in any way to, the assets or business of the Company and its Subsidiaries or (d) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, with only such exceptions, in the case of each of clauses (b) through (d), as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.05. Capitalization. (a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 175,000,000 Shares and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

There are no outstanding obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of the Company Securities. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any voting agreement with respect to the voting of any Company Securities.

Each such Subsidiary is duly qualified to do business as a foreign entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where such qualification is necessary, except for those jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

There are no outstanding obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of the Company Subsidiary Securities. Except for the capital stock or other voting securities of, or ownership interests in, its Subsidiaries and publicly traded securities held for investment which do not exceed 5% of the outstanding securities of any Person, the Company does not own, directly or indirectly, any capital stock or other voting securities of, or ownership interests in, any Person.

(d) Each Company SEC Document that is a registration statement, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, filed pursuant to the 1933 Act, as of the date such registration statement or amendment became effective, did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(e) The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the 1934 Act). Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated Subsidiaries, is made known to the Company’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer by others

within those entities, particularly during the periods in which the periodic reports required under the 1934 Act are being prepared. Such disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer to material information required to be included in the Company’s periodic and current reports required under the 1934 Act. For purposes of this Agreement, “principal executive officer” and “principal financial officer” shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act.

(f) The Company and its Subsidiaries have established and maintained a system of internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the 0000 Xxx) sufficient to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of Company financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. The Company has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation of internal controls prior to the date hereof, to the Company’s auditors and audit committee (i) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in internal controls. The Company has made available to Parent a summary of any such disclosure made by management to the Company’s auditors and audit committee since January 1, 2007.

(g) There are no outstanding loans or other extensions of credit made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any executive officer (as defined in Rule 3b-7 under the 0000 Xxx) or director of the Company. The Company has not, since the enactment of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, taken any action prohibited by Section 402 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act.

(h) Since January 1, 2007, the Company has complied in all material respects with the applicable corporate governance rules and regulations of The NASDAQ Global Market or The NASDAQ Capital Market, as applicable.

Section 5.08. Financial Statements. The audited consolidated financial statements and unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of the Company included or incorporated by reference in the Company SEC Documents fairly present in all material respects, in conformity with GAAP applied on a

consistent basis (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto), the financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments in the case of any unaudited interim financial statements).

Section 7.03. Access to Information. From the date hereof until the Effective Time, upon reasonable prior written notice, during regular business hours and subject to Applicable Law and the Confidentiality Agreement dated October 29, 2008 between the Company and Parent, as amended on November 5, 2008 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), the Company shall (a) give Parent, its counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized representatives reasonable access to the offices, properties, books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including access to perform physical examinations and to take radiation samples) as Parent may reasonably request, (b) furnish to Parent, its

counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized representatives such financial and operating data and other information as such Persons may reasonably request, and (c) instruct the management, counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized representatives of the Company and its Subsidiaries to cooperate with Parent in its reasonable investigation of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Any investigation pursuant to this Section shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries. No information or knowledge obtained by Parent in any investigation pursuant to this Section shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by the Company hereunder. Nothing in this Section 7.03 shall require the Company (i) to permit any inspection, or to disclose any information , that in the reasonable judgment of the Company would result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of Third Parties or violate any of the Company’s obligations with respect to confidentiality, (ii) to disclose any privileged information of the Company or its Subsidiaries or (iii) to disclose any information the disclosure of which could, in the reasonable judgment of the company, cause competitive harm to the Company if the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated. In no event shall the Company be required to supply pursuant to this Section 7.03 to Parent, or Parent’s representatives, any information relating to indications of interest from, or discussions with, any potential acquirers of the Company, with respect to which Section 7.04 shall apply. All requests for access to the offices or books and records of the Company or its Subsidiaries shall be made to such representatives of the Company as the Company shall designate, who shall be solely responsible for coordinating all such requests and all access permitted hereunder.

Section 7.04. No Solicitation; Other Offers. (a) General Prohibitions. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries authorize or permit any of its or their officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, consultants or other agents or advisors (“Representatives”) to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or take any action to knowingly facilitate or encourage the submission of any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, furnish any information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any Third Party that is seeking (to the knowledge of the Company) to make, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) fail to make, withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent the Company Board Recommendation (or recommend an Acquisition Proposal or take any action or make any public statement inconsistent with the Company Board Recommendation) (any of the foregoing in this clause (iii), an “Adverse Recommendation Change”), (iv) grant any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (v) approve any transaction under, or any Person becoming an “interested stockholder” under, Section 203 of Delaware Law or (vi) enter into any agreement in principle, letter of intent, term sheet, merger

agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement or other similar instrument relating to an Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Exceptions. Notwithstanding Section 7.04(a) or anything else in this Agreement, at any time prior to the Acceptance Date:

(i) the Company, directly or indirectly through advisors, agents or other intermediaries or Representatives, may (A) engage in negotiations or discussions with any Third Party (and its Representatives) that has made after the date of this Agreement a bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal that the Board of Directors determines in good faith is or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal (and communicate with any Third Party and its Representatives for the purpose of clarifying the terms and conditions of any bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal) and (B) furnish to such Third Party or its Representatives non-public and other information or provide access as described in Section 7.04(a)(ii) relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to a confidentiality agreement (a copy of which shall be provided for informational purposes only to Parent) with such Third Party with terms no less favorable in the aggregate in any material respect to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that all such information (to the extent that such information has not been previously provided or made available to Parent) is provided or made available to Parent, as the case may be, prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided or made available to such Third Party);

(ii) the Board of Directors may make an Adverse Recommendation Change if the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Delaware Law; and

(iii) the Board of Directors may approve and the Company may enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal and they may take any actions listed in Section 7.04(a)(iv)ý, (v) or (vi), as applicable; provided that the Company shall have (A) complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of this Section 7.04 and (B) substantially contemporaneously or previously terminated this Agreement and paid any amounts due pursuant to Section 12.04(b).

In addition, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Board of Directors or the Company from complying with Rule 14d-9 or 14e-2 under the 1934 Act with regard to an Acquisition Proposal so long as any action taken or statement made to so comply is consistent with this Section 7.04 or making any other disclosure required by Applicable Law; provided that any such action taken or statement made that relates to an Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be an

Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Board of Directors reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation in such statement or in connection with such action, if so requested by Parent. It is understood and agreed that any “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the 1934 Act or other factually accurate public statement by the Company that, in each case, merely describes the Company’s receipt of an Acquisition Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto shall not be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change.

(c) Required Notices. The Board of Directors shall not take any of the actions referred to in Section 7.04(b) unless the Company shall have delivered to Parent a prior written notice advising Parent that it intends to take such action (which notice shall be given 3 Business Days prior to the Board of Directors making an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Acquisition Proposal). In addition, the Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours) after receipt by the Company (or, to the knowledge of its directors or executive officers, by any of its Representatives) of a bona fide Acquisition Proposal, indication specifying that a Third Party is considering making an Acquisition Proposal or any request for information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Third Party that has notified the Company that it is considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall provide such notice orally and in writing and shall identify the Third Party making, and the material terms and conditions (or a copy) of, any such Acquisition Proposal, indication or request. The Company shall keep Parent promptly and reasonably informed of the status and material terms and developments with respect to any such Acquisition Proposal, indication or request. Any material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal will be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of the Company’s compliance with this Section 7.04(c).

(d) “Last Look”. Further, the Board of Directors shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.01(d)(i), unless (i) the Board of Directors has determined that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, (ii) the Company notifies Parent, in writing at least four Business Days before taking that action, of its intention to do so and attaching the most current version of the proposed agreement under which such Superior Proposal is proposed to be consummated and the identity of the third party making the Acquisition Proposal, and (iii) Parent does not make, within four Business Days after its receipt of that written notification, an offer that the Board of Directors has determined is at least as favorable to the stockholders of the Company as such Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any material amendment to the terms of such Superior Proposal shall require a new written notification from the Company and a new four Business Day period under this Section 7.04(d)).

(e) Definition of Superior Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal not

solicited in contravention of this Section 7.04 (with all percentages in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” changed to 50%) on terms that the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with an outside financial advisor and outside legal counsel and taking into account all the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal, including any break-up fees, expense reimbursement provisions and conditions to consummation, are more favorable to the Company’s stockholders than as provided hereunder (taking into account any offer by Parent to amend the terms of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.04(d)), which the Board of Directors determines is reasonably capable of being consummated.

(f) Obligation of the Company to Terminate Existing Discussions. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives to, cease immediately and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Third Party and its Representatives conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall promptly request that each Third Party, if any, that has executed a confidentiality agreement within the 12 month period prior to the date hereof in connection with its consideration of any Acquisition Proposal relating to an acquisition of the Company or all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company return or destroy all confidential information heretofore furnished to such Person by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (and all analyses and other materials prepared by or on behalf of such Person that contains, reflects or analyzes that information).

(g) Certain Discussions. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.04 to the contrary, at any time on or after January 10, 2009 and through the Acceptance Date, the Company may (i) engage in discussions (and negotiate the terms of, and proposed documentation for, a transaction) with Permitted Investors regarding a potential equity investment in the Company of no more than $6 million in the aggregate (a “Covered Equity Investment”) and (ii) provide confidential information to such parties in connection with such discussions, provided that (A) any such Permitted Investor to which confidential information is provided is subject to a confidentiality agreement (a copy of which shall be provided for informational purposes only to Parent) with terms no less favorable in the aggregate in any material respect to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement and (B) all such information (to the extent that such information has not been previously provided or made available to Parent) is provided or made available to Parent prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided or made available to any Permitted Investor. The Company shall not take any of the actions referred to in the immediately preceding sentence unless the Company shall have delivered to Parent a prior written notice advising Parent that it intends to take such action and indicating the date on which discussions will commence (such date, the “Equity Discussion Commencement Date”), and the Company shall keep Parent promptly and reasonably informed of the status and material terms and developments with respect to any such

discussions or Covered Equity Investment. In no event will the Company enter into any agreement in principle, letter of intent or term sheet, securities purchase agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement or other agreement relating to a Covered Equity Investment prior to the termination of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Permitted Investor” means a bona fide venture capital, private equity or other financial investor, provided that no such investor shall constitute a “Permitted Investor” if a significant biotechnology or pharmaceutical company owns or controls more than 19.9% of the equity or voting interests in such investor.

COVENANTS OF PARENT

Parent agrees that:

Section 8.01. Obligations of Merger Subsidiary. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause Merger Subsidiary to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Offer and the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Merger Subsidiary shall not conduct any business or make any investments other than in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 8.02. Voting of Shares. Parent shall vote (or cause to be voted) all Shares beneficially owned by it or any of its Affiliates in favor of adoption of this Agreement at the Company Stockholder Meeting unless the Company Stockholder Meeting is not required for consummation of the Merger.

(i) for six years after the Effective Time, indemnify and hold harmless the present and former officers, directors, employees and employee benefit plan fiduciaries of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, an “Indemnified Person”) in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law or any other Applicable Law or provided under the Company’s certificate of incorporation (including Article Eighth, Section 5 thereof) and bylaws in effect on the date hereof; provided that such indemnification shall be subject to any limitation imposed from time to time under Applicable Law;

(ii) for six years after the Effective Time, cause to be maintained in effect provisions in the Surviving Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or in such documents of any successor to the business of the Surviving Corporation) regarding elimination of liability of directors, and indemnification and advancement of expenses to

Indemnified Persons that are no less advantageous to the intended beneficiaries than the corresponding provisions in existence on the date of this Agreement; provided that if any claim is asserted against any individual entitled to the protections of such provisions within such six-year period, such provisions shall not be modified until the final disposition of any such claims;

(iii) cause the Surviving Corporation to either (A) continue to maintain in effect for six years after the Effective Time the Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policies and fiduciary liability insurance policies (collectively, the “D&O Insurance”) in place as of the date hereof with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable as those contained in the Company’s D&O Insurance policies in effect as of the date hereof or (B) purchase comparable D&O Insurance for such six-year period with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable as those contained in the Company’s D&O Insurance policies in effect as of the date hereof; provided that if the aggregate cost for such insurance coverage exceeds 225% of the current annual premium paid by the Company (which amount is set forth in Section 8.03(a)(iii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule), the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain D&O Insurance with the best available coverage with respect to matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time for an aggregate cost of 225% of the current annual premium; and

(iv) if Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (A) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, (B) ceases to continue to exist for any reason, or (C) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, ensure that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 8.03. If the Surviving Corporation liquidates or dissolves, proper provision shall be made so that Parent shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 8.03.

(b) The rights of each Indemnified Person under this Section 8.03 shall be in addition to (and not in substitution for) any other rights such Indemnified Person may have under the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or equivalent organizational documents of any of its Subsidiaries, Delaware Law, or otherwise and are intended for the benefit of and shall be enforceable by such Indemnified Person and such Indemnified Person’s heirs, executors or similar representatives.

Section 8.04. Employee Matters. Following the Effective Time, subject to Applicable Law, Parent will give each employee of Parent or the Surviving Corporation or their respective Subsidiaries who shall have been an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time (each a “Continuing Employee”) full credit for prior service with the Company or its Subsidiaries for purposes of (i) eligibility under any employee benefit plans and (ii) determination of benefit levels relating to vacation or severance plans and policies, in each case for which the Continuing Employee is otherwise eligible and in which the Continuing Employee is offered participation, except if such credit would result in a duplication of benefits. In addition, Parent shall waive, or cause to be waived, any limitations on benefits relating to pre-existing conditions to the same extent such limitations are waived under any comparable plan of the Company prior to the Closing and use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize for purposes of annual deductible and out-of-pocket limits under its medical and dental plans, deductible and out-of-pocket expenses paid by Continuing Employees in the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs. For a period of one year following the Effective Time, Parent shall provide the Continuing Employees who are employed by Parent or one of its Subsidiaries during such period with compensation and benefits (other than equity-based compensation) that is in the aggregate substantially equivalent to such compensation and benefits as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time. Nothing in this Section 8.04 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed as (x) conferring any legal rights upon any employee for continuation of employment by Parent or the Surviving Corporation or their Subsidiaries, (y) requiring Parent to implement, or limiting the rights of Parent to amend or discontinue, any fringe benefit plan, program or practice or any other employee benefit plan of any nature whatsoever, except as expressly provided otherwise in this Section 8.04, or (z) conferring upon any employee any rights or remedies under this Agreement (including under this Section 8.04, except as provided in the next sentence). Parent agrees to provide each Continuing Employee whose employment is terminated by Parent or the Surviving Corporation or their Subsidiaries during the 12-month period immediately following the Effective Time with (and each Continuing Employee shall have an enforceable right to) severance benefits that are no less favorable than the greatest of the severance benefits due under the terms of an employment agreement in effect immediately before the Effective Time, or an amount equal to the Continuing Employee’s monthly base salary in effect immediately before termination of employment (or, if greater, immediately before the Effective Time) for a period of three months plus an additional 1/2 month for each full year of service with the Company and the Parent up to a maximum of 12 months. Such severance amount shall be paid in a lump sum within 30 days after termination of employment.

Section 8.05. Disclosure Documents. (a) The information with respect to Parent and any of its Subsidiaries that Parent supplies to the Company specifically for use in any Company Disclosure Document will not 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 (i) in the case of the Company Proxy Statement, as supplemented or amended, if applicable, at the time such Company Proxy Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto is first mailed to stockholders of the Company and at the time such stockholders vote on adoption of this Agreement and at the Effective Time, and (ii) in the case of any Company Disclosure Document other than the Company Proxy Statement, at the time of the filing of such Company Disclosure Document or any supplement or amendment thereto and at the time of any distribution or dissemination thereof.

(b) The Schedule TO, when filed, and the Offer Documents, when distributed or disseminated, will comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the 1934 Act and, at the time of such filing or the filing of any amendment or supplement thereto, at the time of such distribution or dissemination and at the time of consummation of the Offer, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The representations and warranties in this Section 8.05 will not apply to statements or omissions included or incorporated by reference in the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents based upon information supplied to Parent or Merger Subsidiary by the Company or any of its representatives or advisors specifically for use or incorporation by reference therein.
