- - - - - - - - - -
WHEREAS, the issued and outstanding capital stock of EnzyMed consists of
1,993,987 shares of EnzyMed's Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the

Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "EnzyMed Series A Preferred
Stock"), 666,632 shares of EnzyMed's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par
value $.001 per share (the "EnzyMed Series B Preferred Stock"), and 587,500

share (the "EnzyMed Series C Preferred Stock") (all of said shares in the
aggregate being referred to herein as the "EnzyMed Shares"); and
WHEREAS, Buyer and EnzyMed desire to effect a combination of their
respective businesses through a merger of EnzyMed, with and into Buyer in
accordance with applicable laws;
WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Buyer and EnzyMed each have determined
that it is in the best interests of their respective stockholders for EnzyMed to
merge with and into Buyer upon the terms in and subject to the conditions of
this Agreement;
WHEREAS, for federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger
(as defined in Section 1.1) shall qualify as a reorganization within the meaning
of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code");
and
WHEREAS, for accounting purposes, the parties hereto intend to treat the
Merger as a "pooling of interests" transaction in accordance with the guidelines
and prescriptions set forth in Accounting Principles Board Opinion Xx. 00 ("XXX
00").
NOW, THEREFORE, based upon the above premises and in consideration of the
mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein,
the parties hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE -- THE MERGER
1.1 The Merger.
----------
1.1.1 The Merger. On the terms and subject to the conditions set
----------
forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.1.3
hereof), in accordance with this Agreement and the Delaware General Corporation
Law (the "Delaware Law"), EnzyMed shall merge with and into Buyer (the
"Merger"), the separate existence of EnzyMed shall cease and Buyer shall
continue, as the surviving corporation under the corporate name Albany Molecular
Research, Inc. Buyer, in its capacity as the corporation surviving the Merger,
is sometimes referred to herein as the "Surviving Corporation," and Buyer and
EnzyMed are sometimes referred to collectively herein as the "Constituent
Corporations."
1.1.2 Effect of the Merger. At and after the Effective Time, the
--------------------
Merger shall have the effects set forth in Sections 259 and 261 of the Delaware
Law, and all other applicable laws.
1.1.3 Consummation of the Merger. On the Closing Date (as defined
--------------------------
in Section 1.6 hereof), the parties hereto shall cause a Certificate of Merger
to be filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware, in such form as required
by, and executed in accordance with, Section 251 of the Delaware Law. The Merger
shall be effective as of the date of filing of the Certificate of Merger (the
"Effective Time").
1.1.4 Certificate of Incorporation. From and after the Effective
----------------------------
Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of Buyer, as in effect immediately prior
to the Effective Time, shall be and become the Certificate of Incorporation of
the Surviving Corporation, and shall thereafter continue in effect until amended
as provided therein and in accordance with the Delaware Law.
1.1.5 By-Laws. The By-Laws of Buyer, as in effect immediately prior
-------
to the Effective Time, shall be the By-Laws of the Surviving Corporation, and
shall thereafter continue in effect until amended as provided therein and in
accordance with the Delaware Law.
1.1.6 Directors and Officers. The directors and officers of Buyer
----------------------
holding office immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the
Effective Time, be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation,
until their respective successors shall have been duly elected or appointed and
qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance
with the Surviving Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws.
1.1.7 Merger Consideration. The manner of converting or canceling
--------------------
shares, options and warrants of EnzyMed in the Merger shall be as follows:
2
(a) EnzyMed Common Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of
--------------------
EnzyMed Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time (other than any Dissenting Shares as provided in Section
----- ----
1.1.7(g)) will, by virtue of the Merger, and without the need for any further
action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into a number of shares
of Buyer's common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Buyer Common Stock"), that
is equal to the Stock Conversion Number (as defined in Section 1.1.7(i)),
subject to the provisions of Section 1.3 regarding the elimination of fractional
shares. All of the shares of Buyer Common Stock issued in connection with the
Merger shall collectively be referred to herein as the "Buyer Common Shares."
(b) EnzyMed Series A Preferred Stock. At the Effective Time, each
--------------------------------
one-half of one share of EnzyMed Series A Preferred Stock that is issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Dissenting
----- ----
Shares as provided in Section 1.1.7(g)) will, by virtue of the Merger, and
without the need for any further action on the part of the holder thereof, be
converted into a number of shares of Buyer Common Stock that is equal to the
Stock Conversion Number, subject to the provisions of Section 1.3 regarding the
elimination of fractional shares.
(c) EnzyMed Series B Preferred Stock. At the Effective Time, each
--------------------------------
share of EnzyMed Series B Preferred Stock that is issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Dissenting Shares as
----- ----
provided in Section 1.1.7(g)) will, by virtue of the Merger, and without the
need for any further action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into
a number of shares of Buyer Common Stock that is equal to the Stock Conversion
Number, subject to the provisions of Section 1.3 regarding the elimination of
fractional shares.
(d) EnzyMed Series C Preferred Stock. At the Effective Time, each
--------------------------------
share of EnzyMed Series C Preferred Stock that is issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Dissenting Shares as
----- ----
provided in Section 1.1.7(g)) will, by virtue of the Merger, and without the
need for any further action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into
a number of shares of Buyer Common Stock that is equal to the Stock Conversion
Number, subject to the provisions of Section 1.3 regarding the elimination of
fractional shares.
(e) EnzyMed Options. At the Effective Time, each option to purchase
---------------
shares of EnzyMed Common Stock (each, an "Option") that is outstanding
------
immediately prior to the Effective Time (not to exceed options to purchase
839,944 shares in the aggregate) will, by virtue of the Merger and at the
Effective Time and without the need for any further action on the part of any
holder thereof, be assumed by Buyer and converted into an option (a "Buyer
-----
Option") to purchase that number of shares of Buyer Common Stock determined by
------
multiplying the number of shares of EnzyMed Common Stock that are subject to
such Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Stock Conversion
Number, at an exercise price per share of Buyer Common Stock equal to the
exercise price per share of EnzyMed Common Stock that was in effect for such
Option immediately prior to the Effective
3
Time divided by the Stock Conversion Number, the quotient of which will be
rounded up to the nearest cent; provided, however, that if the foregoing
-------- -------
calculation would result in an assumed and converted Option being converted into
a Buyer Option that, after aggregating all of the shares of Buyer Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of such Buyer Option, would be exercisable for a
fraction of a share of Buyer Common Stock, then the number of shares of Buyer
Common Stock subject to such Buyer Option will be rounded down to the nearest
whole number of shares of Buyer Common Stock. Except as set forth on Schedule
--------
1.1.7(e) hereto, none of the Options that are unvested as of the Effective Time
--------
shall become vested as a result of the execution and delivery of this Agreement
or the consummation of the Merger. The terms, exercisability, vesting schedule,
status as an "incentive stock option" under Section 422 of the Code (if
applicable) or as a non-qualified stock option, and all other terms and
conditions of each Option, as amended (including without limitation the
provisions of EnzyMed's 1994 Stock Option Plan that forms part of the terms and
conditions of such Option) that is converted into a Buyer Option in the Merger
will (except as otherwise provided in the terms of such Options), to the extent
permitted by law, be unchanged and continue in effect after the Effective Time
of the Merger. The pre-Merger employment by EnzyMed or other service of the
holder of each Option to EnzyMed shall be credited to such holder for purposes
of applying any vesting schedule based on the duration of such holder's
employment or other service contained in the Buyer Option issued to such holder
upon the conversion of such Option in the Merger in order to determine the
number of shares of Buyer Common Stock that are exercisable under such Buyer
Option at any point in time. This Section 1.1.7(e) is intended to meet the
requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code and shall be interpreted consistent
with such intent.
(f) Registration on Form S-8. Prior to the Effective Time, Buyer
------------------------
shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient
number of shares of Buyer Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of the Options
assumed in accordance with Section 1.1.7(e). As soon as practicable after the
Effective Time, but in no event later than 40 days after the Effective Time,
Buyer will cause the shares of Buyer Common Stock that are subject to issuance
upon exercise of the Buyer Options and that are issued upon the conversion of
Options under Section 1.1.7(e) to be registered on a registration statement (or
to be issued pursuant to a then-effective registration statement) on Form S-8
(or successor form) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act"), and will use its best
efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such Form S-8 registration statement or
registration statements for so long as such Buyer Options remain outstanding and
Buyer Common Stock is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "1934 Act"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not be
obligated to register or maintain the registration under the 1933 Act of the
issuance of any shares of Buyer Common Stock that are subject to a Buyer Option
held by a person who is ineligible to have such person's securities registered
on Form S-8 (or any successor form); provided, however, that Buyer agrees to
register such ineligible shares on the registration statement on Form S-3 filed
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (as provided for in Section 6.2(g)
hereof).
4
(g) EnzyMed Dissenting Shares. Holders of EnzyMed Shares (as defined
-------------------------
in the preamble hereof) who have complied with all requirements for perfecting
shareholder appraisal rights, as set forth in Section 262 of the Delaware Law
shall be entitled to their rights under the Delaware Law with respect to such
shares ("Dissenting Shares"), and Dissenting Shares will not be converted into
shares of Buyer Common Stock in the Merger. EnzyMed Shares that are outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger and with respect to which
dissenting stockholders' rights to dissent under the Delaware Law have either
(a) not been properly exercised and perfected or (b) with the consent of EnzyMed
and Buyer, been withdrawn, will, when such dissenting stockholders' rights can
no longer be legally exercised under the Delaware Law, be converted into Buyer
Common Stock as provided in Section 1.1.7 hereof.
(h) Adjustments for Capital Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions
-------------------------------
of Section 1.1.7, if at any time after the date this Agreement is duly executed
by all parties and prior to the Effective Time, Buyer recapitalizes, either
through a subdivision (or stock split) of any of its outstanding shares of Buyer
Common Stock into a greater number of such shares, or a combination (or reverse
stock split) of any of its outstanding shares of Buyer Common Stock into a
lesser number of such shares, or reorganizes, reclassifies or otherwise changes
its outstanding shares of Buyer Common Stock into the same or a different number
of shares of other classes (other than through a subdivision or combination of
shares provided for in the preceding clause), or declares a dividend on its
outstanding shares payable in shares of Buyer Common Stock, in shares or
securities convertible into shares of Buyer Common Stock or in cash or other
property (each, a "Capital Change"), then the Buyer Average Price Per Share (as
defined below) will be proportionally and equitably adjusted.
(i) Definitions. For purposes of this Section 1.1.7 the following
-----------
definitions apply :
"Stock Conversion Number" means the quotient obtained by dividing (a) $5.00
by (b) the Buyer Average Price Per Share, which quotient shall be rounded up to
the nearest one hundred thousandth of a cent (seven (7) decimal places).
"Buyer Average Price Per Share" means $30.7912.
1.2 Exchange Procedures.
-------------------
(a) At or as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Buyer shall
make available, and each stockholder of EnzyMed (each, a "Stockholder," and
collectively, the "Stockholders") will be entitled to receive, upon surrender to
Buyer of one or more certificates representing any EnzyMed Shares ("EnzyMed
Certificates") for cancellation with a letter of transmittal in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit 1.2, certificates representing the number of Buyer
-----------
Common Shares ("Buyer Certificates") that such Stockholder is entitled to
receive pursuant to Section 1.1.7 hereof; provided, however, that the Buyer
-------- -------
Certificates representing the Buyer Common Shares described in Section 7.6
hereof (the "Escrow Shares")
5
shall be held in escrow in accordance with Section 1.4 of this Agreement. The
Buyer Common Shares and any cash paid in lieu of fractional Buyer Common Shares
(the "Merger Consideration") that each Stockholder shall be entitled to receive
pursuant to the Merger shall be deemed to have been issued at the Effective
Time. No interest shall accrue on the Merger Consideration. If the Merger
Consideration (or any portion thereof) is to be delivered to any person other
than the person in whose name the EnzyMed Certificates surrendered in exchange
therefor is registered, it shall be a condition to such exchange that the person
requesting such exchange shall pay to Buyer any transfer or other taxes required
by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a person other than the
registered holder of the EnzyMed Certificate(s) so surrendered, or shall
establish to the satisfaction of Buyer that such tax has been paid or is not
applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Buyer nor any other party
hereto shall be liable to a holder of EnzyMed Shares for any Merger
Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned
property, escheat and similar laws. Any holder of EnzyMed Shares whose EnzyMed
Certificate(s) have been lost or stolen shall comply with the instructions set
forth in the letter of transmittal (attached hereto as Exhibit 1.2) in order to
-----------
receive the Merger Consideration.
(b) After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers of any
EnzyMed Shares on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If,
after the Effective Time, EnzyMed Certificates are presented to the Buyer, they
shall be canceled and exchanged in accordance with Sections 1.1.7 and 1.2
hereof, subject to Section 1.1.7(g) with respect to Dissenting Shares and
Section 1.4 with respect to Escrow Shares.
1.3 Fractional Shares. No fractional Buyer Common Shares will be issued
-----------------
in connection with the Merger, but in lieu thereof, the holder of any EnzyMed
Shares who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a Buyer Common
Share (after aggregating all Buyer Common Shares being issued to such holder in
the Merger) shall receive from Buyer promptly after the Effective Time, an
amount of cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Buyer Average Price Per
Share.
1.4 Escrow of Shares; Escrow Agreement. At the Effective Time (as that
----------------------------------
term is defined in Section 1.1.3) of the Merger, Buyer will withhold from the
shares of Buyer Common Stock to be issued to Stockholders in the Merger on
conversion of their EnzyMed Shares pursuant to Section 1.1.7 above a number of
such shares of Buyer Common Stock that is equal to ten percent (10%) of the
total number of shares of Buyer Common Stock to which the EnzyMed Shares have
been converted pursuant to Section 1.1.7, rounded down to the nearest whole
number of shares to be issued to each Stockholder (such withheld shares of Buyer
Common Stock being hereinafter referred to as the "Escrow Shares") and will
deliver certificates representing such Escrow Shares to State Street Bank and
Trust Company or a similar institution, as escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent"),
together with related stock transfer powers, to be held by the Escrow Agent as
security for the Stockholders' indemnification obligations under Section 7.2 and
pursuant to the provisions of an escrow agreement in substantially the form of
Exhibit 1.4 attached hereto (the "Escrow Agreement") to be entered into on or
-----------
prior to the Closing by Buyer, the Escrow Agent and the Representative (as
defined
6
below). The Escrow Shares will be withheld from each Stockholder pro rata in the
same proportion as the total number of shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable to
such Stockholder under Section 1.1.7 bears to the total number of shares of
Buyer Common Stock issued to all Stockholders under Section 1.1.7, will be
represented by a certificate or certificates issued in the names of each of the
Stockholders in proportion to their respective interests therein and will be
held by the Escrow Agent during that time period commencing on the Effective
Time and ending on the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Time or on such
later date as may be provided in the Escrow Agreement in order to permit the
resolution of any claim made prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the
Effective Time (the "Escrow Period").
1.5 Effect of Stockholder Approval; Representative. Upon the approval of
----------------------------------------------
the Merger, each of the Stockholders of EnzyMed will be conclusively deemed to
have consented to, approved and agreed to be personally bound by: (i) the
Escrow Agreement; (ii) a Stockholder Indemnification Agreement by and between
Buyer and such Stockholder (as provided for in Section 6.1(q)); (iii) the
appointment of Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx as the representative of Stockholders (the
"Representative") under the Escrow Agreement and as the attorney-in-fact and
agent for and on behalf of each Stockholder as provided in the Escrow Agreement;
and (iv) the taking by the Representative of any and all actions and the making
of any decisions required or permitted to be taken by the Representative under
such Stockholder's Stockholder Indemnification Agreement and/or the Escrow
Agreement, including, without limitation, the exercise of the power to: (a)
authorize delivery to Buyer of Escrow Shares in satisfaction of indemnity claims
by Buyer with respect to Buyer Indemnified Losses pursuant to Article VII
hereof, such Stockholder's Stockholder Indemnification Agreement and/or the
Escrow Agreement; (b) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and
compromises of, demand arbitration of, and comply with orders of courts and
awards of arbitrators with respect to, such claims; (c) arbitrate, resolve,
settle or compromise any claim for Buyer Indemnified Losses made pursuant to
Article VII and such Stockholder's Stockholder Indemnification Agreement; and
(d) take all actions necessary in the judgment of the Representative for the
accomplishment of the foregoing. The Representative will have authority and
power to act on behalf of each Stockholder with respect to the Escrow Agreement
and the disposition, settlement or other handling of all Buyer Indemnified
Losses under Article VII hereof and such Stockholder's Stockholder
Indemnification Agreement or governed by the Escrow Agreement, and all rights or
obligations arising under the Escrow Agreement so long as all Stockholders are
treated in the same manner. The Stockholders will be bound by all actions taken
and documents executed by the Representative in connection with the Escrow
Agreement, and Buyer will be entitled to rely on any action or decision of the
Representative. In performing the functions specified in this Agreement, such
Stockholder's Stockholder Indemnification Agreement and the Escrow Agreement,
the Representative will not be liable to any Stockholder in the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Representative. Any out-of-
pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Representative in
connection with actions taken pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement will
be paid by the Stockholders to the Representative out of the Escrow Shares pro
rata in proportion to their respective percentage interests in the Escrow
Shares, to the extent that any Escrow Shares continue to be owned by
Stockholders following expiration of
7
the Escrow Period and satisfaction of all claims made or asserted by Buyer under
the Escrow Agreement.
1.6 Closing. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be
-------
consummated at the closing (the "Closing") which will take place at the offices
of Xxxxxxx, Procter & Xxxx LLP, Exchange Place, Boston, Massachusetts on October
19, 1999, or at such other place or earlier or later date or time as may be
fixed by mutual agreement of Buyer and EnzyMed (the "Closing Date").

proxies or other agreements, instruments or undertakings with respect to the
voting of the capital stock of EnzyMed to which EnzyMed or, to EnzyMed's
knowledge, any Stockholder is a party. The Stockholders own of record all of
the outstanding shares of capital stock of EnzyMed, which consists solely of the
EnzyMed Shares set forth on Schedule 2.4 hereto (together with any shares issued
------------
by EnzyMed pursuant to the exercise of Options prior to the Effective Time).

--------------------
enter into this Agreement and each agreement, document and instrument to be

other action on the part of EnzyMed or its stockholders or otherwise will be
required in connection therewith. This Agreement and each agreement, document
and instrument executed and delivered by EnzyMed pursuant to this Agreement
constitutes, or when executed and delivered will constitute, valid and binding
obligations of EnzyMed enforceable in accordance with their terms except (i) as
to the effect, if any, of applicable bankruptcy and other similar laws affecting
the rights of creditors generally and (ii) the remedy of specific performance
and injunctive relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion
of the court before which such proceeding therefor may be brought; provided,
however, that the Certificate of Merger will not be effective until filed with

States, or any state or other jurisdiction (domestic or foreign) applicable to

been obtained or made except for the filing of the Certificate of Merger with

the relevant authorities of all states in which EnzyMed is qualified to do
business, if any; and

judgment, injunction, decree, determination or arbitration award to which
EnzyMed is a party or by which the property of EnzyMed is bound or affected, or
result in the creation or imposition of any mortgage, pledge, lien, security

without limitation, liabilities as guarantor or otherwise with respect to
obligations of others, or potential liabilities for taxes due or then accrued or
to become due or contingent or liabilities relating to activities of EnzyMed or
the conduct of its business prior to the date of the Base Balance Sheet
regardless of whether claims in respect thereof had been asserted as of such
date).
11
(c) Except as reflected on the Base Balance Sheet, EnzyMed's
unaudited balance sheet at June 30, 1999, or Schedule 2.7 hereto, as of the date
------------
hereof and as of the Closing, EnzyMed does not and will not have liabilities of
any nature, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, which would be
required by generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected thereon
(including, without limitation, liabilities as guarantor or otherwise with
respect to obligations or others, or liabilities for taxes due or then accrued
or to become due or contingent potential liabilities relating to activities of
EnzyMed or the conduct of its business prior to the date hereof or the Closing,
regardless of whether claims in respect thereof had been asserted as of such
date).

------------
or caused to be paid all federal, state, local, foreign and other taxes,
including, without limitation, income taxes, estimated taxes, alternative
minimum taxes, excise taxes, sales taxes, use taxes, value-added taxes, gross
receipts taxes, franchise taxes, capital stock taxes, employment and payroll-
related taxes, withholding taxes, stamp taxes, transfer taxes, windfall profit
taxes, environmental taxes and property taxes, whether or not measured in whole
or in part by net income, and all deficiencies, or other additions to tax,
interest, fines and penalties owed by it (collectively, "Taxes"), required to be

(b) EnzyMed has in accordance with applicable law filed all
federal, state, local and foreign tax returns required to be filed by it through
the date hereof, and all such returns correctly and accurately, in all material
respects, set forth the amount of any Taxes relating to the applicable period. A
list of all federal, state, local and foreign income tax returns filed with
respect to EnzyMed for taxable periods since its inception are set forth on
Schedule 2.8 hereto, and said Schedule indicates those returns that have been
------------
audited or currently are the subject of an audit. EnzyMed has delivered to Buyer
correct and complete copies of all federal, state, local and foreign income tax
returns listed on said Schedule, and of all examination reports and statements
of deficiencies assessed against or agreed to by EnzyMed with respect to said
returns. EnzyMed is not required to file a foreign tax return, or to pay any
Stockholders' foreign taxes, in connection with the business conducted by
EnzyMed.
(c) Neither the Internal Revenue Service nor any other
governmental authority is now asserting or, to the knowledge of EnzyMed,
threatening to assert against EnzyMed any deficiency or claim for additional
Taxes. No claim has ever been made by an authority in a jurisdiction where
EnzyMed does not file reports and returns that EnzyMed is or may be subject to
taxation by that jurisdiction. There are no security interests on any of the
assets of EnzyMed that arose in connection with any failure (or alleged failure)
to pay any Taxes. EnzyMed has not entered into a closing agreement pursuant to
Section 7121 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code").
12
(d) Except as set forth on Schedule 2.8 hereto, there has not
------------
been any audit of any tax return filed by EnzyMed for any tax period, no audit
of any tax return of EnzyMed is in progress, and EnzyMed has not been notified
by any tax authority that any such audit is contemplated or pending. No
extension of time with respect to any date on which a tax return was or is to be
filed by EnzyMed is in force, and no waiver or agreement by EnzyMed is in force
for the extension of time for the assessment or payment of any Taxes.
(e) EnzyMed has not been (and has no liability for unpaid Taxes
because it once was) a member of an "affiliated group" (as defined in Section
1504(a) of the Code). EnzyMed has never filed, nor has it been required to file,
a consolidated, combined or unitary tax return with any other entity. EnzyMed
does not own, nor has it ever owned, a direct or indirect interest in any trust,
partnership, corporation or other entity, nor is any such interest necessary to
conduct the business of EnzyMed.
(f) EnzyMed is not a "foreign person" within the meaning of
Section 1445 of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2.
(g) Except as set forth on Schedule 2.8 hereto, EnzyMed is not a
------------
party to any contract, agreement, plan or arrangement that, individually or
collectively, could give rise to any payment that would not be deductible by

enforceable claims, are subject to no set-off or counterclaim, and, to the
knowledge of EnzyMed, are fully collectable in the normal course of business,
after deducting the allowance for doubtful accounts stated in the Base Balance
Sheet in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Since the
date of the Base Balance Sheet, EnzyMed has collected its accounts receivable in
the ordinary course and in a manner which is consistent with past practices and
has not accelerated any such collections. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.9
------------
hereto, all accounts payable and notes payable of EnzyMed arose in bona fide
arms' length transactions in the ordinary course of business and no such account
payable or note payable is delinquent by more than sixty (60) days in its

-------------------------- -------------
hereto, since the date of the Base Balance Sheet, there has been:
(i) no change in the condition, financial or otherwise, of
EnzyMed or in the assets, liabilities, properties, business or prospects of
EnzyMed which change by itself or in conjunction with all other such

to have a material adverse effect on EnzyMed;
(ii) no mortgage, encumbrance or lien placed on any of the

labor dispute or work stoppage involving EnzyMed and no change in senior
personnel of EnzyMed;

through (xii) above.
2.1 Ordinary Course. Since the date of the Base Balance Sheet, EnzyMed
---------------
has conducted its business and operations in all material respects only in the
ordinary course and consistently with its prior practices.
2.1 Banking Relations. All of the arrangements which EnzyMed has with any
-----------------
banking institution are completely and accurately described on Schedule 2.12
-------------
hereto, indicating with respect to each of such arrangements the type of
arrangement maintained (such as checking account, borrowing arrangements, safe
deposit box, etc.) and the person or persons authorized in respect thereof.
2.1 Intellectual Property.
---------------------
(a) Except as set forth on Schedule 2.13 hereto, EnzyMed owns all
-------------
right, title and interest in and to all patents, copyrights, technology,
software, software tools, know-how, processes, trade secrets, trademarks,
service marks, trade names and other proprietary rights used in the conduct of
EnzyMed's business as conducted to the date hereof or contemplated, free and
clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances (including without limitation
distribution rights) (all of which are referred to as "Proprietary Rights"). The
foregoing representation as it relates to Third Party Technology (as hereinafter
defined) is limited to EnzyMed's interest pursuant to the Third Party Licenses
(as hereinafter defined), all of which are valid and enforceable and in full
force and effect and which grant EnzyMed such right to Third Party Technology as
are employed in or necessary to the business of EnzyMed as conducted or
currently proposed to be conducted prior to the Closing Date.
(b) Schedule 2.13 hereto contains an accurate and complete
-------------
description of (i) all patents, trademarks (with separate listings of registered
and unregistered trademarks), trade names, and registered copyrights in or
related to products owned by EnzyMed (the "EnzyMed Products"), all applications
and registration statements therefor, and a list of all licenses and other
agreements relating thereto, and (ii) a list of all licenses and other
agreements currently in effect with third parties (the "Third Party Licenses")
relating to any software, technology, know-how, or processes that EnzyMed is
licensed or otherwise authorized by such third parties to use, market,
distribute or incorporate into its products or processes (such software,
technology, know-how and processes are collectively referred to as the "Third
Party Technology"). All of EnzyMed's trademark or trade name registrations
15
related to the EnzyMed Products and all of EnzyMed's copyrights in any of the
EnzyMed Products are valid and in full force and effect; and consummation of the
transactions contemplate hereby will not alter or impair any such rights. There
is no material default by any party to any Third Party License and all of
EnzyMed's right thereunder are freely assignable. To the knowledge of EnzyMed,
the licensors under such Third Party Licenses have and had all requisite power
and authority to grant the rights purported to be conferred thereby. True and
complete copies of such Third Party Licenses, and any amendments thereto, have
been provided to Buyer.
(c) No claims have been asserted against EnzyMed or, to the
knowledge of EnzyMed, any of the Stockholders (and EnzyMed is not aware of any
claims which are likely to be asserted against EnzyMed) by any person
challenging the use or distribution by EnzyMed of any patents, trademarks, trade
names, copyrights, trade secrets, software, technology, know-how or processes
utilized by it (including, without limitation, the Third Party Technology) or
challenging or questioning the validity or effectiveness of any license or
agreement relating thereto (including, without limitation, the Third Party
Licenses). To the knowledge of EnzyMed, there is no valid basis for any claim of
the type specified in the immediately preceding sentence which could in any way
relate to or interfere with the continued enhancement and exploitation by
EnzyMed of any of the EnzyMed Products. To the knowledge of EnzyMed, none of the
EnzyMed Products nor the use of any patents, trademarks, trade names,
copyrights, software, technology, know-how or processes by EnzyMed in its
current business infringes on the rights of, constitutes misappropriation of, or
in any way involves unfair competition with respect to, any proprietary
information or intangible property right of any third person or entity,
including without limitation any trade secret, copyright, trademark or trade
name or patent.
(d) All licenses or other agreements currently in effect
pursuant to which EnzyMed has granted rights to others in Proprietary Rights
owned or licensed by EnzyMed are listed on Schedule 2.13 hereto. All of such
-------------
licenses or agreements are in full force and effect, there is no default by any
party thereto and all of EnzyMed's rights thereunder are freely assignable. True
and complete copies of all such licenses or other agreements, and any amendments
thereto, have been provided to Buyer. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.13
-------------
hereto, EnzyMed has not granted any third party any right to manufacture,
reproduce, distribute, market or exploit any of the EnzyMed Products or any
adaptations, translations or derivative works based on the EnzyMed Products or
any portion thereof. Except with respect to the rights of third parties to the
Third Party Technology, to the knowledge of EnzyMed, no third party has any
right to manufacture, reproduce, distribute, market or exploit any underlying
works or materials of which any of the EnzyMed Products are a "derivative work"
as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act, Title 17, U.S.C.
Section 101.
(e) Except as set forth on Schedule 2.13 hereto, to the knowledge
-------------
of EnzyMed, no designs, drawings, specifications, source code, object code,
documentation, flow charts or diagrams incorporating, embodying or reflecting
any of the EnzyMed Products
16
at any stage of their development (the "EnzyMed Components") were written,
developed, created or discovered in whole or in part by any employee of EnzyMed
with the assistance of any third party or entity or were created by third
parties (including, without limitation, each of the Stockholders) who have not
assigned ownership of their rights to EnzyMed. EnzyMed has at all times used
commercially reasonable efforts to treat the EnzyMed Products and the EnzyMed
Components as containing trade secrets and have not disclosed or otherwise dealt
with such items in such a manner as to cause the loss of such trade secrets by
release into the public domain.
(f) To the knowledge of EnzyMed, no employee of EnzyMed is in
violation of any term of any employment contract, patent disclosure agreement or
any other contract or agreement relating to the relationship of any such
employee with EnzyMed or, to the knowledge of EnzyMed, any other party,
including, without limitation, any previous employer, because of the nature of
the business conducted by EnzyMed or proposed to be conducted by EnzyMed.
(g) Each person presently or previously employed by EnzyMed
(including independent contractors, if any) in a research and development or
other technical position has executed a confidentiality and non-disclosure
agreement in substantially the same form as the form previously provided to
Buyer or its representatives. Such confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements
constitute valid and binding obligations of EnzyMed and such person, enforceable
in accordance with their respective terms. To the knowledge of EnzyMed, neither
the execution or delivery of such agreements, nor the carrying on of EnzyMed's
business by such persons as employees, nor the conduct of EnzyMed's business as
currently anticipated, will conflict with or result in a breach of the terms,
conditions or provisions of or constitute a default under any contract, covenant
or instrument currently in effect under which any of such persons is obligated.
EnzyMed is not knowingly making unauthorized use of any confidential information
or trade secrets of any person, including, without limitation, any former
employer or any past or present employee of EnzyMed. Neither EnzyMed nor, to the
knowledge of EnzyMed, any of EnzyMed's employees have any agreements or
arrangements with any persons other than EnzyMed related to confidential
information or trade secrets of such persons or restricting any such employee's
ability to engage in business activities of any nature.
(h) No product liability or warranty claims which individually
or in the aggregate could exceed Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) have been
communicated to or threatened against EnzyMed nor, to the knowledge of EnzyMed,
is there any specific situation, set of facts or occurrence that provides a
basis for such claim.
2.1 Contracts. Except for contracts, commitments, plans, agreements and
---------
licenses (true and complete copies of which have been delivered to Buyer, except
with respect to the collaboration and license contracts and Merck contract
described on Schedule 2.14 hereto as exceptions to subparagraphs (iii), (viii)
-------------
and (xi) below) described on Schedule 2.14 hereto, EnzyMed is not a party to or

contract or agreement not specifically disclosed elsewhere in this Agreement;
(v) any contract or agreement for more than $10,000 which
by its terms does not terminate or is not terminable without penalty by such
entity or any successor or assignee on or at any time after the Closing Date;
(vi) any contract for more than $10,000 not made in the
ordinary course of business;
(vii) any contract currently in effect containing covenants
limiting the freedom of EnzyMed to compete in any line of business or with any
person or entity;
(viii) any license agreement for more than $10,000 (as
licensor or licensee);
(ix) any indenture, mortgage, promissory note, loan
agreement, guaranty or other agreement or commitment for the borrowing of money
for more than $10,000 each, or $25,000 in the aggregate;
(x) any contract or agreement with any officer, employee,
director or stockholder of EnzyMed or with any persons or organizations
controlled by or affiliated with any of them; or
(xi) any joint venture, partnership or similar agreement.
EnzyMed is not in default under any such contracts, commitments, plans,
agreements or licenses described in said Schedule, and EnzyMed does not have any
knowledge of conditions or facts which with notice or passage of time, or both,
would constitute a default.
2.1 Litigation. There is no litigation or governmental or administrative
----------
proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of EnzyMed, threatened
against EnzyMed or
18
any affiliate of EnzyMed which may have a material adverse effect on EnzyMed's
properties, assets, financial condition or business or which would prevent or
hinder the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
2.16 Compliance with Laws. EnzyMed is in compliance with all applicable
--------------------
statutes, ordinances, orders, judgments, decrees and rules and regulations
promulgated by any federal, state, municipal or other governmental authority
which apply to EnzyMed or to the conduct of its business except where the
failure of EnzyMed to so comply would not have a material adverse effect on
EnzyMed, and EnzyMed has not received notice of a violation or alleged violation
of any such statue, ordinance, order, rule or regulation.
2.17 Insurance. The only insurance policies maintained by EnzyMed are
---------
disclosed on Schedule 2.17 hereto, and such insurance policies are in full force
-------------
and effect, all premiums with respect thereto (with existing premium costs as
disclosed on Schedule 2.17 hereto) are currently paid, and EnzyMed is in
-------------
compliance in all material respects with the terms thereof. Said insurance is
adequate and customary for the business engaged in by EnzyMed and is sufficient
for compliance by EnzyMed with all requirements of law and all agreements and
leases to which EnzyMed is a party.
2.18 Warranty or Other Claims. There are no existing or, to the knowledge
------------------------
of EnzyMed, threatened product liability, warranty or other similar claims, or
any facts upon which a material claim of such nature could be based, against
EnzyMed for products or services which are defective or fail to meet any product
or service warranties. No claim has been asserted against EnzyMed for
renegotiation or price redetermination of any business transaction, and, to the
knowledge of EnzyMed, there are no facts upon which any such claim could
reasonably be based.

------------------
are presently outstanding, except powers of attorney granted to EnzyMed's patent
counsel for purposes of handling patent and trademark matters on behalf of
EnzyMed.

the number of full-time and part-time employees and the number of scientists
holding doctorate degrees as are indicated on Schedule 2.22 hereto. EnzyMed is
-------------
not delinquent in payments to any of its employees or agents for any wages,
salaries, commissions, bonuses or other direct compensation for any services
performed for it to the date hereof or amounts required to be reimbursed to such
employees. There are no charges of employment discrimination or unfair labor
practices or strikes, slowdowns, stoppages of work, or any other concerted
interference with normal operations existing, pending or, to the knowledge of
EnzyMed, threatened against or involving EnzyMed. No question concerning
representation exists respecting any group of employees of EnzyMed. Except as
set forth on Schedule 2.22 hereto, there are no claims or charges relating to or

without limitation, resignations) pending or, to the knowledge of EnzyMed,
threatened with respect to the senior management or key supervisory personnel of

2.23 Employee Benefit Programs.

(a) Schedule 2.23 hereto sets forth a list of every Employee
-------------
Program (as defined below) that has been maintained (as such term is further
defined below) by EnzyMed at any time during the three-year period ending on the
date hereof.
(b) Each Employee Program which has been maintained by EnzyMed
and which has at any time been intended to qualify under Section 401(a) or
501(c)(9) of the Code, has received a favorable determination or approval letter
from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") regarding its qualification under such
section and has, in fact, been qualified under the applicable section of the
Code from the effective date of such Employee Program through and including the
Closing (or, if earlier, the date that all of such Employee Program's assets
were distributed). Except for amendments made to the Code for which the remedial
amendment period has not expired, no event or omission has occurred which would
cause any such Employee Program to lose its qualification under the applicable
Code section.
(c) Except as set forth on Schedule 2.23 hereto, there has not
-------------
been any failure of any party to comply with any laws applicable with respect to
the Employee Programs that have been maintained by EnzyMed which is reasonably
likely to have a material adverse effect on EnzyMed. With respect to any
Employee Program now or heretofore maintained by EnzyMed, there has occurred no
"prohibited transaction," as defined in Section

other applicable law (including, without limitation, any health care

or indirectly (including without limitation through any obligation of
indemnification or contribution), in any taxes, penalties or other liability to
EnzyMed or any Affiliate (as defined below) which is reasonably likely to have a
material adverse effect on EnzyMed. No litigation, arbitration, or governmental
administrative proceeding (or investigation) or other proceeding (other than
those relating to routine claims for benefits) is pending or, to the knowledge
of EnzyMed, threatened with respect to any such Employee Program which is
reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on EnzyMed.

governing documents or applicable law) with respect to all Employee Programs
heretofore maintained by EnzyMed, for all periods prior to the Closing, either
have been made or have been accrued (and all such unpaid but accrued amounts are
described on Schedule 2.23 hereto). Except as described on Schedule 2.23

hereto, no Employee Program maintained by EnzyMed and subject to Title IV of
ERISA (other than a Multiemployer Plan) has any "unfunded benefit liabilities"
within the meaning of ERISA Section 4001(a)(18), as of the Closing Date.

Schedule 2.23 hereto, none of the Employee Programs ever maintained by EnzyMed
-------------
has ever provided health care or any other non-pension benefits to any employees
after their employment was terminated (other than as required by part 6 of
subtitle B of title I of ERISA or the Iowa Extension of Coverage law, as
applicable) or has ever promised to provide such post-termination benefits.

relating to EnzyMed's participation in or contributions under such plan;
(f) Except as set forth on Schedule 2.23 hereto, each Employee
-------------
Program maintained by EnzyMed as of the date hereof is subject to termination by
the Board of Directors of EnzyMed without any further liability or obligation on
the part of EnzyMed to make further contributions to any trust maintained under
any such Employee Program following such termination.
(g) For purposes of this Section 2.23:
(i) "Employee Program" means (A) all employee benefit plans
within the meaning of ERISA Section 3(3), including, but not limited to,
multiple employer welfare arrangements (within the meaning of ERISA Section
3(40)), plans to which more than one unaffiliated employer contributes and
employee benefit plans (such as foreign or excess benefit plans) which are
not subject to ERISA; and (B) all stock option plans, bonus or incentive
award plans, severance pay policies or agreements, deferred compensation
agreements, supplemental income arrangements, vacation plans, and all other

above. In the case of an Employee Program funded through an organization
described in Code Section 501(c)(9), each reference to such Employee
Program shall include a reference to such organization;

entity sponsors, contributes to or provides (or has promised to provide)
benefits under such Employee Program, or has any obligation (by agreement
or under applicable law) to contribute to or provide benefits under such
Employee Program, or if such Employee Program provides benefits to or
otherwise covers employees of such entity (or their spouses, dependents or
beneficiaries);
(iii) An entity is an "Affiliate" of EnzyMed for purposes of
Section 2.23 if it would have ever been considered a single employer with
EnzyMed under ERISA Section 4001(b) or part of the same "controlled group"
as EnzyMed for purposes of ERISA Section 302(d)(8)(C); and

Indemnifiable Losses").
7.3 Limitations on Indemnification.
------------------------------
7.3.1 General Threshold. Subject to Section 7.3.4, the Buyer
-----------------
Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to indemnification in respect of Buyer

cumulative amount shall be recoverable in accordance with the terms hereof.
34
7.3.2 General Maximum Indemnification. Subject to the exceptions set
-------------------------------
forth in Section 7.3.4 and the limitations set forth in Section 7.3.1, no
Stockholder shall be obligated pursuant to such Stockholder's Stockholder

Parties in respect of Buyer Indemnifiable Losses to the extent the cumulative

Party in respect of Buyer Indemnifiable Losses unless the written notice
required by Section 7.5 with respect to such Losses shall have been received by
the Representative on a date prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date;
provided, however, that if prior to the applicable date of expiration a specific
-------- -------
state of facts shall have become known which may constitute or give rise to any
Buyer Indemnifiable Loss as to which indemnity may be payable and the Buyer
Indemnified Party shall have given notice of such facts to the Stockholders,
made a claim for indemnification and, except with respect to third party claims,
pursued such claim within six months thereafter, then the right to
indemnification with respect thereto shall remain in effect until such matter
shall have been finally determined and disposed of, and any indemnification due
in respect thereof shall have been paid.
7.3.4 Dollar-for-Dollar and Fraud Claims. Notwithstanding anything
----------------------------------
herein to the contrary, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall not be subject to any
limitation whether pursuant to Section 7.3 or otherwise, and shall be entitled
to dollar-for-dollar recovery, in seeking indemnification from the Stockholders
with respect to (a) Losses arising from EnzyMed and the Stockholders incurring
legal fees and expenses in excess of $50,000 relating to the transactions
contemplated hereby, (b) Losses arising from EnzyMed having debt (as determined

Sections 1(a) or 1(b) of each Stockholder's Stockholder Indemnification
Agreement or fraud or an intentional misrepresentation on the part of any

against such Stockholder); provided, however, that no Stockholder shall be
obligated pursuant to Section 7.3.4(d) with respect to any losses involving a
breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.8 to
indemnify Buyer Indemnified Parties in respect of Buyer Indemnifiable Losses to
the extent the cumulative amount of all Buyer Indemnifiable Losses with respect
thereto exceeds the value of the shares of Buyer Common Stock received by such
Stockholder in the Merger.
7.4 Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer agrees, in all cases subject to the
------------------------
limitations set forth in this Article VII, subsequent to the Closing Date to
indemnify and hold harmless
35
the Stockholders ("Stockholder Indemnified Parties") from and against and in
respect of all Losses sustained, suffered or incurred by or made against any of
them arising out of or based upon (a) any breach of any representation or
warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or in any Schedule hereto or in any
certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.2 in connection with the Closing;
and (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement made by Buyer in this Agreement
or in any Schedule hereto (such claims under clauses (a) and (b) being
hereinafter collectively referred to as "Stockholder Indemnifiable Losses").
7.5 Notice; Defense of Claims. Except for Buyer Indemnified Losses under
-------------------------
the Escrow Agreement (which shall be administered exclusively in accordance with
the terms and procedures set forth in the Escrow Agreement), promptly after
receipt by an indemnified party of notice of any claim, liability or expense to
which the indemnification obligations hereunder would apply, the indemnified
party shall give notice thereof in writing to the indemnifying party, but the
omission to so notify the indemnifying party promptly will not relieve the
indemnifying party from any liability except to the extent that the indemnifying
party shall have been prejudiced as a result of the failure or delay in giving
such notice. Such notice shall state the information then available regarding
the amount and nature of such claim, liability or expense and shall specify the
provision or provisions of this Agreement under which the liability or
obligation is asserted. If within 30 days after receiving such notice the
indemnifying party gives written notice to the indemnified party stating that
(i) it would be liable under the provisions hereof for indemnity in the amount
of such claim, liability or expense if such claim were successful and (ii) that
it disputes and intends to defend against such claim, liability or expense at
its own cost and expense, then counsel for the defense shall be selected by the
indemnifying party (subject to the consent of the indemnified party which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the indemnified party shall not
be required to make any payment with respect to such claim, liability or expense
as long as the indemnifying party is conducting a good faith and diligent
defense at its own expense; provided, however, that the assumption of defense of
-------- -------
any such matters by the indemnifying party shall relate solely to the claim,
liability or expense that is subject or potentially subject to indemnification.
The indemnifying party shall have the right, with the consent of the indemnified
party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to settle all
indemnifiable matters related to claims by third parties which are susceptible
to being settled provided its obligation to indemnify the indemnifying party
therefor will be fully satisfied. The indemnifying party shall keep the
indemnified party apprised of the status of the claim, liability or expense and
any resulting suit, proceeding or enforcement action, shall furnish the
indemnified party with all documents and information that the indemnified party
shall reasonably request and shall consult with the indemnified party prior to
acting on major matters, including settlement discussions. Notwithstanding
anything herein stated to the contrary, the indemnified party shall at all times
have the right to fully participate in such defense at its own expense directly
or through counsel; provided, however, if the named parties to the action or
-------- -------
proceeding include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and
representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate under
applicable standards of professional conduct, the indemnified party shall be
entitled to retain separate counsel, the expense of which shall be paid by the
indemnifying party provided that such counsel is selected by the indemnifying
36
party and such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party. If no
such notice of intent to dispute and defend is given by the indemnifying party,
or if such defense is not being or ceases to be conducted, the indemnified party
shall, at the reasonable expense of the indemnifying party, undertake the
defense of (with counsel selected by the indemnified party), and shall have the
right to compromise or settle (exercising reasonable business judgment), such
claim, liability or expense. If such claim, liability or expense is one that by
its nature cannot be defended solely by the indemnifying party, then the
indemnified party shall make available all information and assistance that the
indemnifying party may reasonably request and shall cooperate with the
indemnifying party in such defense.
7.6 Escrow Shares. At the Effective Time, the Escrow Shares shall be
-------------
deposited in escrow with the Escrow Agent by Buyer as provided in Section 1.4
hereof as a mechanism to satisfy potential claims for indemnification by Buyer
under Sections 7.2 and 7.3 of this Article VII. Except as provided in Section
7.3.4, any liability of the Stockholders for indemnification for Buyer
Indemnifiable Losses under Section 7.2, subject to the limitations described in
Section 7.3 hereof, shall be satisfied exclusively from Escrow Shares.
7.7 Remedies. The indemnification provisions of this Article VII are the
--------
sole and exclusive remedy from and after the Effective Time of any party to this
Agreement for a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained
herein. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, each of the parties acknowledges
and agrees that the other parties hereto would be damaged irreparably in the
event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance
with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the
parties hereto agrees the other parties hereto shall be entitled to an
injunction to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to
enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof
(including the indemnification provisions hereof) in any competent court having
jurisdiction over the parties, in addition to any other remedy to which they may
be entitled at law or in equity.
7.8 Directors' and Officers' Insurance.
----------------------------------
7.8.1 Insurance. For a period of six years after the Effective Time,
---------
Buyer shall cause to be maintained in effect a policy of directors' and
officers' liability insurance covering each person who is now or has been at any
time prior to the Effective Time an officer or director of EnzyMed; provided,
that if Buyer cannot maintain such liability insurance at a cost annually to
Buyer of not greater than 200 percent of the annual premiums for such directors'
and officers' liability insurance in effect on the Closing Date, which existing
premium costs are disclosed on Schedule 2.17 hereto, Buyer shall maintain or
-------------
obtain as much of such insurance as can be so maintained or obtained at a cost
equal to 200 percent of such annual premium cost.
7.8 Successors. In the event Buyer or any of its successors or
----------
assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person or entity and
shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such
consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or
37
substantially all of its properties and assets to any person or entity, then and
in either such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and
assigns of Buyer shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.8.
7.8.3 Survival of Indemnification. To the fullest extent not
---------------------------
prohibited by law, from and after the Effective Time, all rights to
indemnification as of the date hereof in favor of the employees, agents,
directors and officers of EnzyMed in their capacities as such prior to the
Effective Time, as provided in its certificate of incorporation and by-laws of
EnzyMed in effect on the date thereof, shall survive the Merger and shall
continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

example, of an action or failure to act causing a failure of a condition
precedent).

omission in any of its representations or warranties contained herein or a
material failure to comply with any of its covenants, conditions or agreements
contained herein, provided, further, that no party shall have any liability for
any such material error or omission or failure to comply other than for willful
