---------------------
with the relevant provisions of the DGCL, is filed with the Secretary of State
of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that, upon mutual consent of the
-------- -------
Constituent Corporations, the Certificate of Merger may provide for a later date
or time of effectiveness of the Merger. When used in this Agreement, the term
"Effective Time" shall mean the later of the date and time at which the
--------------
Certificate of Merger is filed or such later date and time established by the
Certificate of Merger. The filing of the Certificate of Merger in accordance
with the DGCL shall be made on the date of the Closing, or as promptly
thereafter as practicable.
Section 1.3 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set
---------------------
forth in Section 259 of the DGCL.
Section 1.4 Directors of the Surviving Corporation. The directors of Sub
--------------------------------------

Section 1.6 Charter and By-Laws. The Certificate of Incorporation of Sub
-------------------
in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended
as provided therein or by applicable law. The By-laws of Sub as in effect
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the By-laws of the Surviving
Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by the

Section 1.7 Conversion of Securities. As of the Effective Time, by
------------------------
virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Sub, the Company or

(a) Each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Sub shall remain
outstanding as one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common
stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) All shares of Company Common Stock that are held in the treasury of
the Company and any shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent or Sub shall

-----------------
paid and nonassessable share of Parent Common Stock and (ii) one warrant which

shares of Parent Common Stock and Algos Warrants into which such Company Common
Stock was converted in the Merger.

(a) Exchange of Certificates. Parent shall authorize a commercial bank
------------------------

Exchange Agent, in trust for the holders of shares of Company Common Stock
converted in the Merger, certificates representing the shares of Parent Common
Stock and certificates representing the Algos Warrants, including certificates
representing Algos Warrants subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in
the Warrant Agreement (the "Non-Transferable Warrants"), each issuable pursuant
-------------------------
to Section 1.7(c) hereof in exchange for outstanding certificates representing
shares of Company Common Stock (such shares of Parent Common Stock and Algos
Warrants, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto,
being hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange
--------
4
Fund"). Except as contemplated by this Section 1.8, and Section 1.11 hereof,
-----
the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. For purposes of this
Agreement, "Person" means any natural person, firm, individual, corporation,
------
limited liability company, partnership, association, joint venture, company,
business trust, trust or any other entity or organization, whether incorporated
or unincorporated, including a government or political subdivision or any agency
or instrumentality thereof.
(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time,
-------------------
Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each record holder of a
certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time
represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock converted in the Merger
(the "Certificates") a letter of transmittal (in customary form), which shall
------------
specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the
Certificates shall pass, only upon actual delivery of the Certificates to the
Exchange Agent, and shall contain instructions for use in effecting the
surrender of the Certificates in exchange for certificates representing shares
of Parent Common Stock, certificates representing Algos Warrants. Upon
surrender to the Exchange Agent for cancellation of a Certificate, together with
such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall
be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (i) a certificate representing that
number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock into which the shares of Company
Common Stock represented by the surrendered Certificate shall have been
converted at the Effective Time pursuant to this Article I, (ii) a certificate
representing that number of Algos Warrants (or, if requested, Non-Transferable
Warrants) into which the shares of Company Common Stock represented by the
surrendered Certificate shall have been converted at the Effective Time pursuant
to this Article I and (iii) any dividends and other distributions payable in
accordance with Section 1.9 hereof, and any Certificate so surrendered shall
forthwith be canceled.
Section 1.9 Dividends; Transfer Taxes; Withholding.
--------------------------------------
(a) No dividends or other distributions that are declared on or after the
Effective Time on Parent Common Stock, or are payable to the holders of record
thereof on or after the Effective Time, will be paid to any Person entitled by
reason of the Merger to receive a certificate representing Parent Common Stock
and a certificate representing Algos Warrants, until such Person surrenders such
certificates in accordance with Section 1.8 hereof. Subject to the effect of
applicable law, there shall be paid to each record holder of a new certificate
representing such Parent Common Stock: (i) at the time of such surrender or as
promptly as practicable thereafter, the amount of any dividends or other
distributions theretofore paid with
5
respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock represented by such new certificate
and having a record date on or after the Effective Time and a payment date prior
to such surrender; (ii) at the appropriate payment date or as promptly as
practicable thereafter, the amount of any dividends or other distributions
payable with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock and having a record
date on or after the Effective Time, but prior to such surrender and a payment
date on or subsequent to such surrender. In no event shall (1) the Person
entitled to receive such dividends or other distributions be entitled to receive
interest on such dividends or other distributions and (2) any dividends or
distributions be payable on the Algos Warrants or to the holders of record
thereof unless and until such Algos Warrants are exercised in accordance with
the terms of the Warrant Agreement.
(b) If any cash or certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock
or Algos Warrants are to be paid to or issued in a name other than that in which
the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a
condition of such exchange that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly
endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer, subject to the limitations
set forth in Section 1.8 hereof and in the Warrant Agreement with respect to
Non-Transferable Warrants, and that the Person requesting such exchange shall
pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Taxes (as defined in Section 2.9
hereof) required by reason of the issuance of certificates representing such
shares of Parent Common Stock or such Algos Warrants in a name other than that
of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or shall establish to
the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not
applicable. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.17 hereof, Parent or the
Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration
otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company
Common Stock such amounts as Parent or the Exchange Agent are required to
deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or
under any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that
amounts are so withheld by Parent or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts
shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the
holder of the Company Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and
withholding were made by Parent or the Exchange Agent.
Section 1.10 [Intentionally Omitted.]
6
Section 1.11 Return of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund
-----------------------
that remains undistributed to the former stockholders of the Company for six
months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand of
Parent, and any such former stockholders who have not theretofore complied with
this Article I shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of their claim
for Parent Common Stock, Algos Warrants and any dividends or distributions with
respect to Parent Common Stock. Neither Parent nor either Constituent
Corporation shall be liable to any former holder of Company Common Stock for any
such shares of Parent Common Stock, Algos Warrants, cash and dividends and
distributions held in the Exchange Fund which are delivered to a public official
pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
Section 1.12 Adjustment of Conversion Number. In the event of any
-------------------------------
reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, stock
dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into
Parent Common Stock) or subdivision with respect to Parent Common Stock, any
change or conversion of Parent Common Stock into other securities, any other
dividend or distribution with respect to the Parent Common Stock as the same may
be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (or if a
record date with respect to any of the foregoing should occur), prior to the
Effective Time, appropriate and proportionate adjustments shall be made to the
Conversion Number, and all references to the Conversion Number in this Agreement
shall be deemed to be to the Conversion Number as so adjusted; provided that in
-------- ----
no event shall any such adjustment occur on account of the Charter Amendment or
the Parent Recapitalization.
Section 1.13 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. All
---------------------------------------------------
shares of Parent Common Stock and all Algos Warrants issued pursuant to the
terms hereof (including any cash paid pursuant to Section 1.10 hereof) shall be
deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the
shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificates.
Section 1.14 Closing of Company Transfer Books. At the Effective Time,
---------------------------------
the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and no transfer of
shares of Company Common Stock outstanding prior to the Effective Time shall
thereafter be made on the records of the Company. If, after the Effective Time,
Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent or
Parent, such Certificates shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this
Article I.
7
Section 1.15 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 reasonably
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 will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate the shares of Parent Common Stock, the Algos Warrants and any
dividends or other distributions to which the holder thereof is entitled
pursuant to Section 1.9 hereof.
Section 1.16 Affiliates. Certificates surrendered for exchange by each
----------
Affiliate (as defined in Section 5.4 hereof) of the Company for purposes of Rule
145(c) under the Securities Act of 1933 and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder (the "Securities Act") that has been identified and
--------------
required to provide an Affiliate letter pursuant to Section 5.4 hereof shall not
be exchanged until Parent has received such Affiliate letter from such Person as
provided in Section 5.4 hereof.
Section 1.17 Further Assurances. If at any time after the Effective Time
------------------
the Surviving Corporation shall consider or be advised that any deeds, bills of
sale, assignments or assurances or any other acts or things are necessary,
desirable or proper (i) to vest, perfect or confirm, of record or otherwise, in
the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of
the rights, privileges, powers, franchises, properties or assets of either of
the Constituent Corporations or (ii) otherwise to carry out the purposes of this
Agreement, the Surviving Corporation and its proper officers and directors or
their designees shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on
behalf of either of the Constituent Corporations, all such deeds, bills of sale,
assignments and assurances and to do, in the name and on behalf of either

Each of Parent and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business, and is in
good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of its properties owned
or held under lease or the nature of its activities makes such qualification
necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified would not, individually

----------------------- ----------------
Effect" means, when used with respect to Parent, Sub or the Company, as the case
------
may be, any change or effect that is materially adverse to the business, assets,

antidilutive right of any Person with respect to any shares of Parent Common
Stock, Parent Class A Common Stock, Parent Preferred Stock or any capital stock
of any Subsidiary of Parent. Each outstanding share of capital stock or other
equity interests of each Subsidiary of Parent is duly authorized, validly

Section 2.12 ERISA.
-----
(a) Schedule 2.12(a) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule lists each Parent
Plan (as hereinafter defined). With respect to each material Parent Plan,
Parent has made (or as soon as practicable will make) available to the Company a
true and correct copy of (i) the three most recent annual reports (Form 5500)
filed with the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), (ii) such Parent Plan and
---
any amendments thereto, (iii) each trust agreement, insurance contract or
administration agreement relating to such Parent Plan and the latest financial
statements thereof, (iv) the most recent summary plan description of each Parent
Plan for which a summary plan description is required, (v) the most recent
actuarial report or valuation relating to a Parent Plan subject to Title IV of
ERISA, (vi) the most recent determination letter, if any, issued by the IRS with
respect to any Parent Plan intended to be qualified under section 401(a) of the
Code and (vii) any written description that exists as of the date of this
Agreement of any unwritten Parent Plan. Except as would not, individually or in
the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on Parent, (i) each Parent Plan
complies with all applicable statutes and governmental rules and regulations,
including but not limited to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended ("ERISA"), the Code and the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
-----
Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended ("COBRA"), and (ii) no "reportable
-----
event" (within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA) has occurred with respect
to any Parent Plan for which the 30-day notice requirement has not been waived,
(iii) none of Parent or its Subsidiaries is or has been obligated to contribute
or otherwise may have any liability with respect to any Parent Multiemployer
Plan (as hereinafter defined), (iv) no action has been taken, or is currently
being considered, to terminate any Parent Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA, (v)
Parent has complied with the continued medical coverage requirements of COBRA,
(vi) no Parent Plan has engaged in a "prohibited transaction" (as defined in
Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA) and (vii) no liability under
Title IV or Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code has been incurred by
Parent that has not been satisfied in full, and no condition exists that
presents a risk to Parent of incurring any such liability. Except as would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on Parent, no
Parent Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA, nor any trust created thereunder, has
incurred any "accumulated funding deficiency" (as defined in Section 302 of
ERISA), whether or not waived.
(b) With respect to any Parent Plan which is subject to Title IV of ERISA,
the present value of accrued benefit obligations, as determined in accordance
with FAS 87 in accordance with the actuarial assumptions used to prepare the
most recent reports of such Parent Plan, did not exceed the fair market value of
the Plan assets as of the most recent valuation date for which an actuarial
report has been
20
prepared and to the Knowledge of Parent, there has not been any material adverse
change to such status. All contributions required to be made with respect to any
Parent Plan on or prior to the Closing Date have been timely made or are
reflected on the most recent balance sheet of Parent. With respect to the Parent
Plans, no event has occurred in connection with which Parent would be subject to
any liability under the terms of such Parent Plans, ERISA, the Code or any other
applicable law which would have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material
Adverse Effect on Parent. With respect to any current or former employee,
director, officer, consultant or contractor of Parent or its Subsidiaries,
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not result
in the payment or provision of additional compensation or benefits or accelerate
the vesting, payment or funding of any compensation or benefits. No amounts
payable by reason of this transaction under the Parent Plans will fail to be
deductible for federal income tax purposes by virtue of either Section 280G or
Section 162(m) of the Code. All Parent Plans that are intended to be qualified
under Section 401(a) of the Code have been determined by the IRS to be so
qualified or a timely application for such determination is pending, and to the
Knowledge of Parent, there is no reason why any such Parent Plan is not so
qualified in operation. Parent does not have any liability or obligation under
any welfare plan to provide benefits after termination of employment to any
employee or dependent other than as required by ERISA or as disclosed in
Schedule 2.12 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule. There are no pending or, to
the Knowledge of Parent, threat ened, claims, suits, audits or investigations
related to any Parent Plan other than claims for benefits in the ordinary course
and other than claims, suits, audits or investigations that would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on Parent. As
used herein, (i) "Parent Plan" means each deferred compensation and each bonus
-----------
or other incentive compensation, stock purchase, stock option and other equity

severance or termination pay, medical, surgical, hospitalization, life insurance

the ERISA); each profit-sharing, stock bonus or other "pension" plan, fund or
program (within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA); each employment,

ERISA maintained within the past five (5) years by Parent or any of its
Subsidiaries and (ii) "Parent Multiemployer Plan" means a "multiemployer plan"

million and (B) the Exercisability Date has not occurred prior to March 31,
2001, then 17,900,445 shares of Parent Common Stock that are then owned by the
----
Parent LLC shall be transferred for no consideration to Parent (which shall
deposit the same in its treasury) (the actions contemplated by clause (i) or
clause (ii) shall be adjustments to the Merger Consideration and shall be
referred to as an "Adjustment Event").
----------------
(c) The number of shares that are required to be transferred in the event
of an Adjustment Event shall be appropriately adjusted (i) such that, at the
Effective Time, the numbers in clauses (b)(i)(B) and (b)(ii)(B) of this Section
5.21 shall represent that number of shares of Parent Common Stock such that if
such shares were no longer outstanding at the Effective Time, the shares
issuable under the Algos Warrants in the aggregate (if such Algos Warrants were
then immediately exercisable), together with shares of Parent Common Stock
issued to the Company stockholders in the Merger would represent 40% of the
outstanding Parent Common Stock on a fully diluted basis (excluding the Endo
Warrants) and (ii) without duplicating clause (i) above, if Parent pays a
dividend or makes a distribution on the Parent Common Stock in shares of Parent
Common Stock or other capital stock of Parent or subdivides, splits, combines or
reclassifies its outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock into a different
number of securities of the same class, then the number of shares of Parent
Common Stock required to be transferred under this Section 5.21 shall be
appropriately adjusted to give the effect specified in clause (i) of this
sentence as if such events occurred immediately prior to the Effective Time.
(d) For such purposes, "Cash Gross Profit of Parent" shall mean the
---------------------------
difference between Net Sales (as defined below) and Cash Cost of Sales (as
defined below) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000. "Net Sales" shall
---------
mean the gross invoice price of Endo Products (as defined below) sold to any
third party (excluding Affiliates of Parent) less (i) cash, trade, promotional,
or quantity discounts and/or rebates, and chargebacks, (ii) retroactive price
reductions, (iii) sales,
68
use or other excise taxes and (iv) returns and allowances, all as reflected on
the audited statement of operations of Parent attributable to the Endo Products
determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2000. "Cash Cost of Sales" shall mean the Cost of Sales
------------------
(determined in accordance with GAAP and consistent with the past practices used
by Parent in 1998 as previously disclosed to the Company) as reflected on the
audited statement of operations of Parent for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2000 attributable to the Endo Products less all non-recurring charges and non-
cash charges included in Cost of Sales (including, but not limited to,
depreciation, amortization and other non-cash manufacturing charges). "Endo
----
Products" shall include current and future internally developed products sold or
--------
marketed by Parent or its Subsidiaries (other than products developed or being
developed by the Company) to any third party (including products from which
Parent has revenues on account of royalties and license fees). The Parent LLC
Agreement shall further provide that the definition of the Cash Gross Profit of
Parent shall be based solely on the audited financial statements of Parent for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000. Any determinations regarding the
satisfaction of such obligation or any amendments, modifications or waivers of
such provisions by Parent shall be effective only if approved by a majority of
the members of the Board of Directors of Parent who do not then (by themselves
or through an Affiliate) have a financial interest in the Parent LLC. Any
dispute relating to the calculation of the Cash Gross Profit of Parent shall be
resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm (as defined below) acting as
arbitrator, and such determination shall be final and binding on the parties.
The Parent LLC and Parent (by a majority of the members of the Board of
Directors of Parent who do not then (by themselves or through an Affiliate) have
a financial interest in the Parent LLC) shall mutually select a nationally
recognized firm of certified public accountants then having no significant
ongoing relationship with either Parent or the Parent LLC or their respective
Affiliates, but if the Parent LLC and Parent cannot mutually agree on the
identity of such firm, then the Parent LLC and Parent shall each submit to the
other party's independent auditor the name of a national accounting firm other
than any firm that has in the prior two years provided services to the Parent
LLC, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates, and a firm shall be selected
by lot from these two firms by the independent auditors of the two parties. The
accounting firm selected pursuant to the foregoing procedures shall be referred
to as the "Independent Accounting Firm." (If no national accounting firm shall
---------------------------
be willing to serve as the Independent Accounting Firm, then an arbitrator
qualified under the rules of the American Arbitration Association shall be
selected to serve as such, such selection to be according to the above
procedures.) Within five (5) days of the submission of the dispute to the
Independent Accounting Firm, each of the Parent LLC and Parent (by a majority of
the members of the Board of Directors of Parent who do not then (by themselves
or through an Affiliate) have a
69
financial interest in the Parent LLC) shall submit a written position paper (the
"Position Paper") to the Independent Accounting Firm outlining such party's
--------------
calculations and/or objections that are the subject of dispute. The Independent
Accounting Firm shall be instructed to use every reasonable effort to perform
its services within thirty (30) days of submission of the Position Papers to it
and, in any case, as promptly as practicable after such submission. The
determination of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on
the parties without further right of appeal.
Section 5.22 Effect of Parent Recapitalization. Parent covenants that the
---------------------------------
Parent Recapitalization shall have the effect of adjusting the outstanding
Parent Common Stock such that those Persons who had been holders of Company
Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, following the Parent
Recapitalization and at the Effective Time, hold, in the aggregate, 20% of the
outstanding Parent Common Stock (on a fully diluted basis, excluding the effect
of the Algos Warrants and the Endo Warrants) and those Persons who had been
holders of Parent Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall,
following the Parent Recapitalization and at the Effective Time, hold, in the
aggregate, 80% of the outstanding Parent Common Stock (on a fully diluted basis,
excluding the effect of the Algos Warrants and the Endo Warrants). For purposes
of calculating this 20/80 split, (a) any repurchases by Parent between the date
of this Agreement and the Effective Time of any Parent Common Stock or Parent
Stock Options from current holders thereof pursuant to any current stockholders
or options agreements or plans and any issuances of Parent Common Stock or
Parent Stock Options between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time
to any Parent employee shall be taken into account in determining the 80% to be
owned by holders of Parent Common Stock and the 20% to be owned by holders of
Company Common Stock and (b) the shares of Parent Common Stock underlying any
Parent Stock Options, the holders of which do not consent to amend such Parent
Stock Options pursuant to Section 5.9 hereof, shall not be counted as part of
the 80% to be owned by holders of Parent Common Stock nor as part of the 20% to
be owned by holders of Company Common Stock and shall be treated as if such
Parent Stock Options did not exist for purposes of this calculation and in
calculating the number of fully diluted shares; provided, however, that such
-------- ------- ----
treatment will not apply to the shares underlying the Parent Stock Options held
by the six executives listed in Schedule 5.22 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule,
which Parent Stock Options shall be taken into account in determining the 80% to
be owned by the current holders of Parent Common Stock if such Parent Stock
Options are not amended pursuant to Section 5.9 hereof. If any of such
executives fails to abide by the terms of that certain side letter agreement
between each of them and the Company, mutually agreed upon arrangements will be
made so that the Parent Stock Options held by such Persons will only affect the
80% held at
70
Effective Time by the current Parent stockholders. Each of the Algos Warrants
and the Endo Warrants shall be exercisable into a number of shares of Parent
Common Stock that is necessary to achieve the effect specified in the form of
each such Warrant in Section 7 of the Warrant Agreement and Section 7 of the
Endo Warrant Agreement, respectively.

Schedule, the Parent Disclosure Schedule, the Stockholder Voting Agreements and
the exhibits and annexes attached hereto and thereto) constitute the entire
agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written

Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law,
or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall
nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic and legal
substance of the transactions contemplated hereby are not affected in any manner
materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other
provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall
negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original
intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in
order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as
originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
Section 8.9 Enforcement of this Agreement.
-----------------------------
(a) The parties acknowledge and agree that any payment made pursuant to
Section 5.7 hereof does not relieve either party from any liability it otherwise
may have for breach of this Agreement.
(b) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the
event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in
accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is
accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or
injunctions to prevent breaches of this
79
Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any
court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, such remedy being
in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law or in
equity. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to
submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court located
in the State of Delaware (unless such courts assert no jurisdiction, in which
case the parties hereto consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of
the State of Delaware) for any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or
relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (and each
party hereto agrees not to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating
thereto except in such courts), and further agrees that service of any process,
summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to the addresses set forth
herein shall be effective service of process for any such action, suit or
proceeding brought against each party in such court. Each party hereto hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of
any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby, in the United States District Courts located in the State
of Delaware (unless such courts assert no jurisdiction, in which case each party
consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware).
Each party hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not
to plead or to claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding
brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the
parties hereto also agrees that any final and unappealable judgment against a
party hereto in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding shall be
conclusive and binding on such party and that such award or judgment may be
enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction, either within or outside of the
United States. A certified or exemplified copy of such award or judgment shall
be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such award or judgment.

7
6. Best Efforts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
------------
Agreement, each of the parties hereto agrees to use its best efforts to take, or
cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things
necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to
consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the Merger Agreement; provided that nothing contained in this Section 6
-------- ----
shall restrict any officer, director or employee of the Stockholder or the
Stockholder's Subsidiaries from taking any action in his or her capacity as a
director, officer or employee of the Company which is permitted to be taken
pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Merger Agreement.
7. Termination. Other than Section 8 hereof (which shall survive
-----------
in any event), this Agreement and the covenants, representations and warranties,
agreements and irrevocable proxy or proxies contained herein or granted pursuant
hereto shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the
Merger Agreement in accordance with Article VII thereof and (ii) the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Upon any

provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve any party from any
-------- -------
liability for such party's willful breach of this Agreement; and provided,
--------
further, that nothing herein shall limit, restrict, impair, amend or otherwise
-------
modify the rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities of any person under any
other contract or agreement, including, without limitation, the Merger
Agreement.
8. Miscellaneous.
-------------
(a) Specific Performance. Each party hereto recognizes and
--------------------
agrees that if for any reason any of the provisions of this Agreement are not
performed by the other parties in accordance with their specific terms or are
otherwise breached, immediate and irreparable harm or injury would be caused to
the non-breaching parties for which money damages would not be an adequate
remedy. Accordingly, the parties agree that, in addition to any other available
remedies, the non-breaching parties shall be entitled to an injunction
restraining any violation or threatened violation of the provisions of this
Agreement without the necessity of the non-breaching parties posting a bond or
other form of security. In the event that any action should be brought in equity
to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, the breaching party will not
allege, and the breaching party hereby waives the defense, that there is an
adequate remedy at law.
8
(b) Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which
------------
is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without
rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this
Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or
provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the
foregoing, with respect to any provision of this Agreement, if it is determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive as to duration or scope,
it is the parties' intention that such provision nevertheless be enforced to the
fullest extent which it may be enforced.
(c) Attorneys' Fees. If any action at law or equity, including
---------------
an action for declaratory relief, is brought by a party to this Agreement to
enforce or interpret any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall
be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses from the other
party, which fees and expenses shall be in addition to any other relief which
may be awarded.
(d) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and
-------------
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of
the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of
laws thereof. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF PARENT, THE COMPANY, OR SUB IN THE NEGOTIATION,
ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.
(e) Further Assurances. From time to time, at the request of
------------------
Parent or Sub, the Stockholder shall execute and deliver to Parent and Sub or
cause other Record Holders to execute and deliver to Parent and Sub such
additional instruments containing grants of proxy with respect to the
Stockholder Shares (which grants of proxy will be in substantially the form of
Section 3(a) hereof) as Parent or Sub may reasonably request in connection with
the Stockholder's obligations under this Agreement.
(f) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
----------------
agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral,
among the parties or any of them with respect to the subject matter hereof.
9
(g) Consent to Jurisdiction, Etc. Each party hereto hereby
-----------------------------
irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction

WARRANT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated as of _______ __, ____, by
---------
and between Endo Pharmaceuticals Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation
(together with any successors and assigns, the "Company"), and [WARRANT AGENT],
-------
as Warrant Agent (the "Warrant Agent").
-------------
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
as of November __, 1999 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Company, Endo
----------------
Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Sub"),
---
and [TARGET] Pharmaceutical Corporation, a Delaware corporation Algos, the
-----
Company proposes to issue warrants (each a "Warrant," and collectively, the
-------
"Warrants") for the purchase of an aggregate of up to 20,654,360/1/ shares of
--------
common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock," and
------------
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants being referred
to herein as the "Warrant Shares");
--------------
WHEREAS, there shall be two classes of Warrants, Class A which shall
be transferable ("Class A Transferable Warrants") and Class B which shall not be
-----------------------------
transferable ("Class B Non-Transferable Warrants") and each holder of shares of
---------------------------------
common stock of Target at the time of the stockholder vote relating to the
Merger Agreement may elect to receive all or a portion of such holder's Warrants
to be Class A Transferable Warrants or all or a portion of such holder's
Warrants to be Class B Non-Transferable Warrants and in the event any such
holder of shares of common stock of Target does not make such an election, then
such holder shall be issued Class A Transferable Warrants. Such election, once
made, will be irrevocable;
WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the
Company and the Warrant Agent is willing to act in connection with the issuance,
transfer, exchange and exercise of Warrants as provided herein; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements
herein, the Company and the Warrant Agent hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. Appointment of Warrant Agent. The Company hereby appoints
----------------------------
the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company in accordance with the
instructions hereinafter set forth in this Agreement, and the Warrant Agent
hereby accepts such appointment.
___________________
/1/ These numbers may be adjusted in the final Endo Warrant. See footnotes 2-5
below.
Section 2. Warrant Certificates. The Class A Transferable Warrants
--------------------
will initially be issued in global form (the "Global Warrants"), substantially
---------------
in the form of Exhibit A hereto. Any certificates evidencing the Global
Warrants to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement (the "Class A Warrant
---------------
Certificates") shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto.
------------
Such Global Warrants shall represent such of the outstanding Class A
Transferable Warrants as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that
it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Class A Transferable
Warrants from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of
outstanding Class A Transferable Warrants represented thereby may from time to
time be reduced or increased, as appropriate. Any endorsement of a Global
Warrant to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of
outstanding Class A Transferable Warrants represented thereby shall be made by
the Warrant Agent and the Depositary (as defined below) in accordance with
instructions given by the holder thereof. [The Depository Trust Company] shall
act as the Depositary with respect to the Global Warrants until a successor
shall be appointed by the Company. Upon written request, a Warrant holder who
holds Class A Transferable Warrants may receive from the Depositary and Warrant
Agent Class A Transferable Warrants in registered form as definitive Warrant
Certificates (the "Definitive Warrants") as set forth in Section 6 below. Class
-------------------
B Non-Transferable Warrants will be issued in certificated form in the form of
Exhibit B hereto, in the name of and in the denomination as set forth in the
applicable letter of transmittal accompanying the shares of common stock of
Target surrendered by the holder thereof in connection with the merger of Target
with and into Sub pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
Section 3. Execution of Warrant Certificates. Warrant Certificates
---------------------------------
shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its
President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial
Officer or Treasurer or a Vice President and by its Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary. Each such signature upon the Warrant Certificates may be in the form
of a facsimile signature of the present or any future Chairman of the Board,
President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial
Officer, Treasurer, Vice President, Secretary or Assistant Secretary and may be
imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Warrant Certificates and for that
purpose the Company may adopt and use the facsimile signature of any person who
shall have been Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief
Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, a Vice President,
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, notwithstanding the fact that at the time
the Warrant Certificates shall be countersigned and delivered or disposed of
such person shall have ceased to hold such office.
2
In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the
Warrant Certificates shall cease to be such officer before the Warrant
Certificates so signed shall have been countersigned by the Warrant Agent, or
disposed of by the Company, such Warrant Certificates nevertheless may be
countersigned and delivered or disposed of as though such person had not ceased
to be such officer of the Company; and any Warrant Certificate may be signed on
behalf of the Company by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of
such Warrant Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such
Warrant Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Warrant
Agreement any such person was not such officer.
Warrant Certificates shall be dated the date of countersignature by
the Warrant Agent.
Section 4. Registration and Countersignature. The Warrants shall be
---------------------------------
numbered and shall be registered on the books of the Company maintained at the
principal office of the Warrant Agent in [LOCATION OF WARRANT AGENT'S OFFICES]
(the "Warrant Register") as they are issued.
----------------
Warrant Certificates shall be manually countersigned by the Warrant
Agent and shall not be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned. The
Warrant Agent shall, upon written instructions of the Chairman of the Board, the
President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial
Officer, Treasurer, a Vice President, the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of
the Company, initially countersign and deliver Warrants entitling the holders
thereof to purchase not more than the number of Warrant Shares referred to above
in the first recital hereof and shall thereafter countersign and deliver
Warrants as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered
holders (the "Holders") of the Warrant Certificates as the absolute owners
-------
thereof (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made
by anyone) for all purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall
be affected by any notice to the contrary.
Section 5. Transfer and Exchange of Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall
---------------------------------
from time to time, subject to the limitations of Section 6 hereof, register the
transfer of any outstanding Warrants upon the records to be maintained by it for
3
that purpose, upon surrender thereof duly endorsed or accompanied (if so
required by it) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, duly executed by the registered Holder or
Holders thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a
duly authorized attorney; provided that Class B Non-Transferable Warrants may
-------- ----
only be transferred (i) as the result or assignment by operation of law (such as
death or merger or otherwise) or (ii) as required by law or any court of
competent jurisdiction (such as in connection with divorce, bankruptcy or
liquidation). A request for a transfer of a Class B Non-Transferable Warrant
shall be accompanied by such documentation establishing satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in clause (i) or (ii) above, as applicable, as may be
reasonably requested by the Company (including opinions of counsel, if
appropriate). Upon receipt of documentation reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, the Company shall authorize the Warrant Agent to permit the transfer of
a Class B Non-Transferable Warrant. The Warrant Agent shall not permit the
transfer of a Class B Non-Transferable Warrant until it is so authorized by the
Company. Unless otherwise authorized by the Company, Class B Non-Transferable
Warrant Certificate may only be transferred for another Class B Non-Transferable
Warrant Certificate. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Warrant
Certificate may be exchanged for another certificate or certificates entitling
the Holder thereof to purchase a like aggregate number of Warrant Shares as the
certificate or certificates surrendered then entitle each Holder to purchase.
Any Holder desiring to exchange a Warrant Certificate or Certificates shall make
such request in writing delivered to the Warrant Agent, and shall surrender,
duly endorsed or accompanied (if so required by the Warrant Agent) by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent,
the Warrant Certificate or Certificates to be so exchanged.
Upon registration of transfer, the Warrant Agent shall countersign and
deliver by certified or first class mail a new Warrant Certificate or
Certificates to the persons entitled thereto. The Warrant Certificates may be
exchanged at the option of the Holder thereof, when surrendered at the office or
agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, which initially will be the
corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent in [LOCATION OF WARRANT AGENT'S
CORPORATE TRUST OFFICE], for another Warrant Certificate, or other Warrant
Certificates of different denominations, of like tenor and representing in the
aggregate the right to purchase a like number of Warrant Shares.
No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of
transfer of Warrant Certificates, but the Company may require payment of a sum
4
sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge that is
imposed in connection with any such exchange or registration of transfer.
Section 6. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges.
---------------------------------------
(a) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Warrants. When Definitive
--------------------------------------------
Warrants are presented to the Warrant Agent with a request:
(i) to register the transfer of the Definitive Warrants; or
(ii) to exchange such Definitive Warrants for an equal number of Definitive
Warrants of other authorized denominations,
the Warrant Agent shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested
if its requirements under this Agreement are met; provided, however, that the
-------- -------
Definitive Warrants presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, duly executed by the Holder
thereof or by such Holder's attorney, duly authorized in writing; provided that
-------- ----
a transfer of Definitive Warrants that are Class B Non-Transferable Warrants
shall be subject to the requirements of Section 5 hereof.
(b) Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Warrant for a Beneficial
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Interest in a Global Warrant. The Warrant Agent may exchange a Definitive
----------------------------
Warrant for a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant only if the Warrant Agent
has received such Definitive Warrant, duly endorsed or accompanied by
appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent,
together with written instructions directing the Warrant Agent to make, or to
direct the Depositary to make, an endorsement on the Global Warrant to reflect
an increase in the aggregate amount of the Warrants represented by the Global
Warrant. If such conditions have been satisfied, the Warrant Agent shall cancel
such Definitive Warrant and cause, or direct the Depositary to cause, in
accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the
Depositary and the Warrant Agent, the number of Warrant Shares represented by
the Global Warrant to be increased accordingly. If no Global Warrant is then
outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Warrant Agent shall countersign a
new Global Warrant in the appropriate amount.
(c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Warrants. The transfer and
----------------------------------------
exchange of Global Warrants or beneficial interests therein shall be effected
through
5
the Depositary, in accordance with this Warrant Agreement (including the
restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the procedures of the Depositary
therefor.
(d) Transfer of a Beneficial Interest in a Global Warrant for a
-----------------------------------------------------------
Definitive Warrant.
------------------
(i) Any person having a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant may upon
his, her or its request exchange such beneficial interest for a
Definitive Warrant. Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of written
instructions (or such other form of instructions as is customary for
the Depositary) from the Depositary or its nominee on behalf of any
person having a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant and upon
receipt by the Warrant Agent of a written order or such other form of
instructions as is customary for the Depositary or the person
designated by the Depositary as having such a beneficial interest
containing registration instructions, then the Warrant Agent will
cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures
existing between the Depositary and the Warrant Agent, the aggregate
amount of the Global Warrant to be reduced and, following such
reduction, the Company will execute and, upon receipt of a
countersignature, the Warrant Agent will countersign and deliver to
the transferee a Definitive Warrant. All such Warrants shall be Class
A Transferable Warrants.
(ii) Definitive Warrants issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a
Global Warrant pursuant to this Section 6(d) shall be registered in
such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary,
pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or
otherwise, shall instruct the Warrant Agent in writing, provided such
designation is in accordance with this Section 6(d). The Warrant Agent
shall deliver such Definitive Warrants to the persons in whose names
such Definitive Warrants are registered.
(e) Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange of Global Warrants.
--------------------------------------------------------
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Warrant Agreement (other than the
provisions set forth in subsection (f) of this Section 6), a Global Warrant may
not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the
Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another
nominee of the Depositary
6
or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee
of such successor Depositary.
(f) Authentication of Definitive Warrants in Absence of Depositary.
---------------------------------------------------------------
If at any time:
(i) the Depositary for the Global Warrants notifies the Company that the
Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the
Global Warrant and a successor Depositary for the Global Warrant is
not appointed by the Company within 90 days after delivery of such
notice; or
(ii) the Company, at its sole discretion, notifies the Warrant Agent in
writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Definitive Warrants
under this Warrant Agreement,
then the Company will execute, and the Warrant Agent, upon receipt of an
officers' certificate, signed by the President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief
Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer or a Vice President of the Company,
requesting the counter-signature and delivery of Definitive Warrants, will
countersign and deliver Definitive Warrants, in an aggregate number equal to the
aggregate number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant, in exchange for
such Global Warrant.
(g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of a Global Warrant. At such time
--------------------------------------------------
as all beneficial interests in a Global Warrant have either been exchanged for
Definitive Warrants, redeemed, repurchased or cancelled, such Global Warrant
shall be returned to or retained and cancelled by the Warrant Agent. At any time
prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Warrant is
exchanged for Definitive Warrants, redeemed, repurchased or cancelled, the
number of Warrants represented by such Global Warrant shall be reduced and an
endorsement shall be made on such Global Warrant, by the Warrant Agent to
reflect such reduction.
(h) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Definitive
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Warrants.
--------
(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall execute, and the
Warrant Agent shall countersign Definitive Warrants and Global
Warrants.
7
(ii) All Definitive Warrants and Global Warrants issued upon any
registration, transfer or exchange of Definitive Warrants or Global
Warrants shall be the valid obligations of the Company, entitled to
the same benefits under this Warrant Agreement as the Definitive
Warrants or Global Warrants surrendered upon the registration of
transfer or exchange.
(iii) Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any
Warrant, the Warrant Agent and the Company may deem and treat the
person in whose name any Warrant is registered as the absolute owner
of such Warrant, and neither the Warrant Agent nor the Company shall
be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 7. Terms of Warrants; Exercise of Warrants. Subject to the
---------------------------------------
terms of this Agreement, each Warrant Holder shall have the right, which may be
exercised commencing on or after the Exercisability Date (as defined below) and
until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the six-month anniversary of the
Exercisability Date (the "Expiration Date"), to receive from the Company the
---------------
number of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares which the Holder may at
the time be entitled to receive on exercise of such Warrants and payment of the
Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect for such Warrant Shares
together, if applicable, with cash payable as provided in Section 13 hereof and
any dividends or distributions payable as provided in Section 14 hereof. If the
Exercisability Date is on or prior to December 31, 2001, the Holders shall then
be entitled to receive from the Company (on exercise of such Warrants and
payment of the Exercise Price then in effect for such Warrant Shares) (together,
if applicable, with cash payable as provided in Section 13 hereof and any
dividends or distributions payable as provided in Section 14 hereof) (a)
20,654,360 Warrant Shares (in the aggregate) (with each Warrant being
exercisable for 1.153846 Warrant Shares)/2/ in the event the Adjustment Event
(as defined in the Merger Agreement) has not occurred prior to the
Exercisability Date or (b) 17,900,445 Warrant Shares (in the aggregate) (with
each Warrant being
__________________
/2/ These numbers shall be adjusted in the final Agreement and Warrants in
order to reflect that at the Effective Time such aggregate number, when
taken together with the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to holders

event the Ultimate Expiration Date occurs before the Exercisability Date, each
Warrant shall become void and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect
thereof under this Agreement shall cease as of the Ultimate Expiration Date.
If applicable, dividends and other distributions will be made upon exercise of
the Warrants as set forth in Section 14 hereof.
"Exercisability Date" shall mean the fifth (5/th/) Business Day (as

defined below) following the date on which the Company (or any of its
subsidiaries) receives approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the
"FDA") with respect to its New Drug Application for MorphiDex(R) for the

treatment of one or more pain indications. In addition to the notices
required by Section 14 hereof, the Company shall give prompt written notice to
the Warrant Agent that the Exercisability Date has occurred and shall cause the
Warrant Agent, on behalf of and at the expense of the Company, within 5 Business
Days after such notification is received by the Warrant Agent, to mail by first
class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder a notice specifying that the
Exercisability Date has occurred and that the Warrant has become exercisable

------------
a Legal Holiday. A "Legal Holiday" is a Saturday a Sunday, a federally
-------------
recognized holiday or a day on which banking institutions are not required to be
open in the State of New York.
From and after the Effective Time, Parent agrees to use its reasonable
efforts to continue to process the FDA application for MorphiDex(R) in a timely
fashion. The parties acknowledge that there are many variables in the process of
obtaining FDA approval in such a situation and many different approaches which
may be used by an applicant in order to obtain such approval; as a result, the
parties hereto agree that all determinations relating to such process and all
actions taken in connection with seeking such approval shall be in the sole
discretion of Parent and shall be binding upon the parties for all purposes. The
parties further acknowledge that (i) on August 2, 1999, the Company received
notification from the FDA that such application was not approvable, (ii) the
failure to obtain such approval, either at all or on or before a certain date,
shall not be deemed a breach by Parent of the provisions hereof and (iii) in any
event Parent shall have no responsibility in connection with the provisions of
this paragraph, except for its willful breach hereof.
The initial price per share at which Warrant Shares shall be
purchasable upon exercise of Warrants (the "Exercise Price") shall equal $0.01.
--------------
A Warrant may be exercised upon surrender at the office or agency of the Company
maintained for such purpose, which initially will be the corporate trust office
of the Warrant Agent or its agents in [LOCATION OF WARRANT AGENT'S OFFICE], of
the Warrant Certificate(s) evidencing the Warrants to be exercised with the form
of election to purchase on the reverse thereof duly filled in and signed, which
signature shall be guaranteed by a participant in a recognized Signature
Guarantee Medallion Program, and upon payment to the Warrant Agent for the
account of the Company of the Exercise Price, as adjusted as herein provided,
for the number of Warrant Shares together, if applicable, with cash payable as
provided in Section 13 hereof and any dividends or distributions as provided in
Section 14 hereof in respect of which such Warrants are then exercised. Payment
of the Exercise Price may be made (a) in the form of cash or by certified or
official bank check payable to the order of the Company in New York Clearing
House Funds, (b) by delivering to the Company a written notice accompanying the
surrender of a Warrant to, at the time of
11
exercise, apply to the payment of Exercise Price such number of Warrant Shares
as shall be specified in such notice, in which case an amount equal to the
excess of the Current Market Value (as defined in Section 12(d) hereof) of such
Warrant Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price required for such
exercise shall be deemed to have been paid to the Company and the number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be reduced by such specified
number (a "Cashless Exercise") or (c) any combination of (a) and (b) above.
-----------------
Subject to the provisions of Section 6 hereof, upon such surrender of
Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price, the Company shall issue and cause to
be delivered with all reasonable dispatch to or upon the written order of the
Holder and in such name or names as the Warrant Holder may designate a
certificate or certificates for the number of full Warrant Shares issuable upon
the exercise of such Warrants together with cash as provided in Section 13
hereof. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and
any person so named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of
such Warrant Shares as of the date of the surrender of such Warrants and payment
of the Exercise Price.
On or after the Exercisability Date, the Warrants shall be
exercisable, at the election of the Holders thereof, either in full or from time
to time in part and, in the event that a certificate evidencing Warrants is
exercised in respect of fewer than all of the Warrant Shares issuable on such
exercise at any time prior to the Expiration Date, a new certificate evidencing
the remaining Warrant or Warrants will be issued, and the Warrant Agent is
hereby irrevocably authorized to countersign and to deliver the required new
Warrant Certificate or Certificates pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7
and of Section 3 hereof, and the Company, whenever required by the Warrant
Agent, will promptly supply the Warrant Agent with Warrant Certificates duly
executed on behalf of the Company for such purpose.
All Warrant Certificates surrendered upon exercise of Warrants shall
be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. Such cancelled Warrant Certificates shall
then be either delivered to the Company or disposed of by the Warrant Agent in a
manner consistent with the Warrant Agent's customary procedure for such disposal
and in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Company. The Warrant Agent shall
account promptly to the Company with respect to Warrants exercised and
concurrently pay to
12
the Company all monies received by the Warrant Agent for the purchase of the
Warrant Shares through the exercise of such Warrants.
The Warrant Agent shall keep copies of this Agreement available for
inspection by the Holders during normal business hours at its office. The
Company shall supply the Warrant Agent from time to time with such numbers of
copies of this Agreement as the Warrant Agent may request.
Section 8. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all documentary
----------------
stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares upon the
exercise of Warrants; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required
-------- -------
to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved
in the issue of any Warrant Certificates or any certificates for Warrant Shares
in a name other than that of the registered Holder of a Warrant Certificate
surrendered upon the exercise of a Warrant, and the Company shall not be
required to issue or deliver such Warrant Certificates unless or until the
person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company
the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the
Company that such tax has been paid.
Section 9. Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates. In case any of
-----------------------------------------
the Warrant Certificates shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the
Company may in its discretion issue and the Warrant Agent may countersign, in
exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant
Certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant Certificate lost,
stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing an
equivalent number of Warrants, but only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to
the Company and the Warrant Agent of such loss, theft or destruction of such
Warrant Certificate and indemnity, if requested, also satisfactory to them.
Applicants for such substitute Warrant Certificates shall also comply with such
other reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the
Company or the Warrant Agent may prescribe.
Section 10. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company will at all
-----------------------------
times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the
aggregate of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or its authorized and
issued Common Stock held in its treasury, for the purpose of enabling it to
satisfy any obligation to
13
issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of Warrants, the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock which may then be deliverable upon the exercise of all outstanding
Warrants.
The Company will keep a copy of this Agreement on file with the
transfer agent for the Common Stock (the "Transfer Agent") and with every
--------------
subsequent transfer agent for any shares of the Company's capital stock issuable
upon the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the Warrants. The
Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to requisition from time to time
from such Transfer Agent the stock certificates required to honor outstanding
warrants upon exercise thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
The Company will supply such Transfer Agent with duly executed certificates for
such purposes and will provide or otherwise make available any cash which may be
payable as provided in Section 13 hereof. The Company will furnish such Transfer
Agent a copy of all notices of adjustments and certificates related thereto
transmitted to each Holder pursuant to Section 14 hereof.
The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon
exercise of Warrants will, upon payment of the Exercise Price therefor and
issue, be validly authorized and issued, fully paid, nonassessable, free of
preemptive rights and free from all taxes, liens, charges and security interests
with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company will use its reasonable best
efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any
public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable
the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
Section 11. Obtaining Stock Exchange Listings. The Company will from
---------------------------------
time to time take all action which may be necessary so that the Warrants and,
immediately upon their issuance upon exercise of the Warrants, the Warrant
Shares will be listed on the principal securities exchanges and markets within
the United States of America, if any, on which other shares of Common Stock are
then listed.
14
Section 12. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares
---------------------------------------------------------
Issuable.
--------
(a) If the Company:
(i) pays a dividend or makes a distribution on its Common Stock in shares
of its Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company; or
(ii) subdivides, splits, combines or reclassifies its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a different number of securities of the same class,
then the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each
Warrant (the "Exercise Rate") in effect immediately prior to such action shall
-------------
be proportionately adjusted so that the Holder of any Warrant thereafter
exercised may receive the aggregate number and kind of shares of capital stock
of the Company which such Holder would have owned immediately following such
action if such Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such action and
the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted
to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such action by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding before giving effect to such action and
the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock and/or
such other capital stock outstanding referred to in the foregoing clause (a)(1)
after giving effect to such action.
An adjustment pursuant to this Section 12(a) shall become effective
immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and
immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination
or reclassification.
If, after an adjustment pursuant to this Section 12(a), a Holder of a
Warrant upon exercise of it may receive shares of two or more classes of capital
stock of the Company, the board of directors of the Company shall determine the
allocation of the adjusted Exercise Price between the classes of capital stock.
After such allocation, the exercise privilege and the Exercise Price of each
class of capital stock shall thereafter be subject to adjustment on terms
comparable to those applicable to Common Stock in this Section 12.
15
Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed
above shall occur.
(b) Adjustment for Certain Issuances of Common Stock. If the Company
------------------------------------------------
issues or sells to any Affiliate (as defined in Section 12(d) hereof) of the
Company shares of its Common Stock or distributes to any Affiliate of the
Company any rights, options or warrants entitling them to purchase shares of
Common Stock, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock,
in each case, at a price per share less than the Current Market Value on the
record date for determining entitlements of such Affiliates to participate in
such issuance, sale or distribution (the "Time of Determination") and prior to
--------------------- ---
such issuance, sale or distribution the Company did not first offer to issue,
sell or distribute such shares of its Common Stock or such rights, options or
warrants or such securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock to
all holders of Common Stock on the same economic terms and on a pro rata basis
with the issuance, sale or distribution to the Affiliates of the Company, then
----
the Exercise Rate shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula:
E' = E x O + N
---------------
O + N x P
-----
M
and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the following
formula:
EP'= EP x E
---
E'
where:
E' = the adjusted Exercise Rate.
E = the Exercise Rate immediately prior to the Time of Determination
for any such issuance, sale or distribution.
EP' = the Adjusted Exercise Price.
16
EP = the Exercise Price immediately prior to the Time of
Determination for any such issuance, sale or distribution.
O = the number of Fully Diluted Shares (as defined below)
outstanding immediately prior to the Time of Determination for
any such issuance, sale or distribution.
N = the number of additional shares of Common Stock issued, sold or
issuable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants.
P = the per share price received and receivable by the Company in
the case of any issuance or sale of Common Stock or rights,
options or warrants as to which such adjustment is being made,
inclusive of the exercise price per share of Common Stock
payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants.
M = the Current Market Value per share of Common Stock on the Time
of Determination for any such issuance, sale or distribution.
For purposes of this Section 12(b), the term "Fully Diluted Shares"
--------------------
shall mean (i) the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of a specified date,
and (ii) the shares of Common Stock into or for which rights, options, warrants
or other securities of the Company outstanding as of such date are exercisable
or convertible (other than the Warrants).
Any adjustments shall be made successively whenever any such rights,
options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the
relevant Time of Determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exercise
Rate and the Exercise Price shall not be subject to adjustment in connection
with (i) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock upon exercise of any such
rights, options or warrants which have previously been the subject of an
adjustment under this Agreement for which the required adjustment has been made
and (ii) any exercise of the Warrants. If at the end of the period during which
any such rights,
17
options or warrants are exercisable, not all rights, options or warrants shall
have been exercised, the Warrant shall be immediately readjusted to what it
would have been if "N" in each of the above formulas had been the number of
shares actually issued.
(c) When De Minimis Adjustment May Be Deferred. No adjustment in the
------------------------------------------
Exercise Rate need be made unless the adjustment would require an increase or
decrease of at least 1% in the Exercise Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
adjustments that are not made shall be carried forward and taken into account in
any subsequent adjustment, provided that no such adjustment shall be deferred
-------- ----
beyond the date on which a Warrant is exercised.
All calculations under this Section 12 shall be made to the nearest
cent or to the nearest 1/100/th/ of a share, as the case may be.
(d) Certain Definitions. "Current Market Value" per share of Common
------------------- --------------------
Stock or of any other security (herein collectively referred to as a "Security")
--------
at any date shall be:
(1) if the Security is not registered under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), (i) the value of the Security
------------
determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company and
certified in a board resolution, based on the most recently completed
arm's-length transaction between the Company and a person other than an
Affiliate of the Company and the closing of which occurs on such date or
shall have occurred within the six months preceding such date or (ii) if no
such transaction shall have occurred on such date or within such six-month
period, the value of the Security determined as of a date within 30 days
preceding such date by an Independent Financial Expert (as defined below),
or
(2) if the Security is registered under the Exchange Act, the average
of the daily closing bid prices of such Security for 30 consecutive
Business Days selected by the Company from the period of 45 Business Days
preceding such date, but only if such Security shall have been listed on a
national securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market or traded
through an automated quotation system during such entire 45-Business Day
period.
18
The "closing bid price" for any Security on each Business Day means
-----------------
the closing price, regular way, on such day on the principal exchange on which
such Security is traded, or if no sale takes place on such day, the average of
the closing bid and asked prices on such day.
"Independent Financial Expert" shall mean any nationally recognized
----------------------------
investment banking firm that is not an Affiliate of the Company. Any such
person may receive customary compensation and indemnification by the Company for
opinions or services it provides as an Independent Financial Expert.
"Affiliate" of any specified person means any other person which
---------
directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries controls or is
controlled by, or is under common control with, such specified person. For the
purposes of this definition, "control" (including with correlative meanings, the
terms "controlling," "controlled by" and "under common control with") as used
with respect to any person, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the
power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such
person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by agreement or
otherwise.
"Ordinary Cash Distribution" means any quarterly cash dividend on the
--------------------------
Common Stock to the extent that the aggregate cash dividend per share of Common
Stock in any calendar quarter does not exceed the greater of (x) the amount per
share of Common Stock of the next preceding quarterly cash dividend on the
Common Stock (as adjusted to reflect subdivisions or combinations of the Common
Stock) and (y) 3.0% of the average of the last reported sales prices of the
Common Stock during the ten trading days immediately prior to the date of
declaration of such dividend.
(e) When No Adjustment Required. If an adjustment is made upon the
---------------------------
establishment of a record date for an issuance, sale or distribution subject to
subsection (a) or (b) hereof and such issuance, sale or distribution is
subsequently cancelled or is not otherwise made, the Exercise Rate and Exercise
Price then in effect shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the
board of directors of the Company determines to cancel such issuance, sale or
distribution or when it is otherwise evident that such issuance, sale or
distribution will not be so made, to that
19
which would have been in effect if such record date had not been fixed. If an
adjustment would be required under both subsections (a) and (b) above, such
adjustments will be determined without duplication.
To the extent the Warrants become convertible into cash, no adjustment
need be made thereafter as to the amount of cash into which such Warrants are
exercisable. Interest will not accrue on the cash.
(f) Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Exercise Rate or Exercise
--------------------
Price is adjusted, the Company shall provide the notices required by Section 14
hereof.
(g) Voluntary Reduction. The Company from time to time may increase
-------------------
the Exercise Rate or reduce the Exercise Price by any amount for any period of
time (including, without limitation, permanently) if the period is at least 20
Business Days after the Company has given notice of such increase or reduction
in accordance with Section 14 hereof.
An increase of the Exercise Rate or reduction in the Exercise Price
under this subsection (g) (other than a permanent increase) does not change or
adjust the Exercise Rate otherwise in effect for purposes of subsection (a) and
(b) of this Section 12.
(h) When Issuance or Payment May Be Deferred. In any case in which
----------------------------------------
this Section 12 shall require that an adjustment in the Exercise Rate or
Exercise Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the
Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the
Holder of any Warrant exercised after such record date the Warrant Shares and
other capital stock of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and
above the Warrant Shares and other capital stock of the Company, if any,
issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Exercise Rate prior to such
adjustment, and (ii) paying to such Holder any amount in cash in lieu of a
fractional share pursuant to Section 13 hereof; provided, however, that the
-------- -------
Company shall deliver to the Warrant Agent and shall cause the Warrant Agent, on
behalf of and at the expense of the Company, to deliver to such Holder a due
xxxx or other appropriate instrument evidencing such
20
Holder's right to receive such additional Warrant Shares, other capital stock
and cash upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.
(i) Reorganizations. In case of (i) any capital reorganization,
---------------
other than in the cases referred to in Section 12(a) and (b) hereof and other
than any capital reorganization that does not result in any reclassification of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock into shares of other stock or other
securities or property, or (ii) the consolidation or merger of the Company with
or into another corporation (other than a merger or consolidation in which the
Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into shares of other
stock or other securities or property), or (iii) the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company (collectively such actions being
hereinafter referred to as "Reorganizations"), there shall thereafter be
---------------
deliverable upon exercise of any Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof (in
lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock theretofore deliverable) the number
of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the
number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise have been deliverable upon
the exercise of such Warrant would have been entitled upon such Reorganization
if the Exercisability Date had occurred and such Warrant had been exercised in
full immediately prior to such Reorganization. In case of any Reorganization,
appropriate adjustment, as determined in good faith by the board of directors
of the Company, whose determination shall be described in a duly adopted
resolution certified by the Company's Secretary or Assistant Secretary, shall be
made in the application of the provisions herein set forth with respect to the
rights and interests of Holders so that the provisions set forth herein shall
thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, in relation to any such shares
or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon exercise of
Warrants.
The Company shall not effect any such Reorganization unless prior to
or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if
other than the Company) resulting from such Reorganization or the corporation or
other entity purchasing such assets shall expressly assume, by a supplemental
warrant agreement or other acknowledgment executed and delivered to the Warrant
Agent, the obligation to deliver to the Warrant Agent and to cause the Warrant
Agent to deliver to each such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets
as, in
21
accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder may be entitled to
purchase in accordance with the terms hereof upon the occurrence of the
Exercisability Date, and the due and punctual performance and observance of each
and every covenant, condition, obligation and liability under this Agreement to
be performed and observed by the Company in the manner prescribed herein.
The foregoing provisions of this Section 12(i) shall apply to
successive Reorganization transactions.
(j) Form of Warrants. Irrespective of any adjustments in the number
----------------
or kind of shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants, Warrants
theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and
number and kind of shares as are stated in the Warrants initially issuable
pursuant to this Agreement.
(k) Warrant Agent's Disclaimer. The Warrant Agent has no duty to
--------------------------
determine when an adjustment under this Section 12 should be made, how it should
be made or what it should be. The Warrant Agent has no duty to determine
whether any provisions of a supplemental warrant agreement under subsection (i)
of this Section 12 are correct. The Warrant Agent makes no representation as to
the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon exercise of
Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for the Company's failure
to comply with this Section 12.
(l) Miscellaneous. For purpose of this Section 12 the term "shares of
------------- ---------
Common Stock" shall mean (i) shares of the class of stock designated as the
------------
Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company as of the date of this
Agreement, and (ii) shares of any other class of stock resulting from successive
changes or reclassification of such shares consisting solely of changes in par
value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value. In
the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this
Section 12, the Holders of Warrants shall become entitled to purchase any
securities of the Company other than, or in addition to, shares of Common Stock,
thereafter the number or amount of such other securities so purchasable upon
exercise of each Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a
manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with
respect to the Warrant Shares contained in subsections (a) through (l) of this
Section 12, inclusive, and the
22
provisions of Sections 7, 8, 10 and 13 with respect to the Warrant Shares or the
Common Stock shall apply on like terms to any such other securities.
Section 13. Fractional Interests. The Company shall not be required
--------------------
to issue fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of Warrants. If more than one
Warrant shall be presented for exercise in full at the same time by the same
Holder, the number of full Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the
exercise thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of
Warrant Shares purchasable on exercise of the Warrants so presented. If any
fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 13,
be issuable on the exercise of any Warrants (or specified portion thereof), the
Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the excess of the Current Market
Value of a Warrant Share over the Exercise Price on the day immediately
preceding the date the Warrant is presented for exercise, multiplied by such
fraction.
Section 14. Notices to Warrant Holders; Reservation of Dividends. No
----------------------------------------------------
later than April 6, 2001, the Company shall give written notice of the
occurrence or non-occurrence of the Adjustment Event to the Warrant Agent and
shall cause the Warrant Agent, on behalf of and at the expense of the Company,
within 10 days after such notification is received by the Warrant Agent, to mail
by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder a notice of such occurrence
or non-occurrence of the Adjustment Event. Upon any adjustment pursuant to
Section 12 hereof, the Company shall give prompt written notice of such
adjustment to the Warrant Agent and shall cause the Warrant Agent, on behalf of
and at the expense of the Company, within 10 days after notification is received
by the Warrant Agent of such adjustment, to mail by first class mail, postage
prepaid, to each Holder a notice of such adjustment(s) and shall deliver to the
Warrant Agent a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of the Company,
setting forth in reasonable detail (i) the number of Warrant Shares purchasable
upon the exercise of each Warrant and the Exercise Price of such Warrant after
such adjustment(s), (ii) a brief statement of the facts requiring such
adjustment(s) and (iii) the computation by which such adjustment(s) was made.
Where appropriate, such notice may be given in advance and included as a part of
the notice required under the other provisions of this Section 14.
23
In case the Exercisability Date has occurred and:
(a) the Company shall authorize the issuance to all holders of shares
of Common Stock of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock or of any other subscription rights or warrants; or
(b) the Company shall authorize the distribution to all holders of
shares of Common Stock of evidences of its indebtedness or assets or cash; or
(c) of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party
and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or of the
conveyance or transfer of the properties and assets of the Company substantially
as an entirety, or of any reclassification or change of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants (other than a change in par value, or from par
value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a
subdivision or combination), or a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of
Common Stock; or
(d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Company; or
(e) the Company proposes to take any action that would require an
adjustment to the Exercise Rate pursuant to Section 12 hereof;
then the Company shall give prompt written notice to the Warrant Agent and shall
cause the Warrant Agent, on behalf of and at the expense of the Company to give
to each of the registered holders of the Warrant Certificates at his, her or its
address appearing on the Warrant Register, at least 30 days (or 20 days in any
case specified in clauses (a) or (b) above) prior to the applicable record date
hereinafter specified, or the date of the event in the case of events for which
there is no record date, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, a written notice
stating (i) the date as of which the holders of record of shares of Common Stock
to be entitled to receive any such rights, options, warrants or distribution are
to be determined, or (ii) the initial expiration date set forth in any tender
offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock, or (iii) the date on which
any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation
or winding up is expected to become effective or consummated, and the date as of
which it is expected that holders of record of shares of Common Stock shall be
entitled to exchange such shares for securities or other property, if any,
deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger,
24
conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. The failure by the
Company or the Warrant Agent to give such notice or any defect therein shall not
affect the legality or validity of any distribution, right, option, warrant,
consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up, or the vote upon any action.
The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Warrant Agent and
shall cause the Warrant Agent, on behalf of and at the expense of the Company to
give to each Holder written notice of any determination to make a distribution
or dividend to the holders of its Common Stock of any assets (including cash
(other than any Ordinary Cash Distribution)), debt securities, preferred stock,
or any rights or warrants to purchase debt securities, preferred stock, assets
or other securities (other than Common Stock, or rights, options, or warrants to
purchase Common Stock) of the Company, which notice shall state the nature and
amount of such planned dividend or distribution and the record date therefor,
and shall be given by the Company at least 20 days prior to such record date
therefor.
At any time prior to the date that is 30 Business Days after the
Exercisability Date, with respect to any distribution or dividend made by the
Company to all of the holders of its Common Stock for which notice to the
Holders of the Warrants under this Section 14 would be required had such
dividend or distribution occurred after the Exercisability Date and except for
such distributions or dividends as are provided for in Section 12 hereof, the
Company shall hold in reserve the amount of any such dividend or distribution
that would have been payable to the Holders in respect of their Warrant Shares
had the Holders exercised their Warrants immediately prior to such dividend or
distribution. The Company shall release to each Holder of Warrants his, her or
its pro rata share of such reserved dividends or distributions upon the exercise
of such Holder's Warrants pursuant to Section 7 hereof. Any notice delivered to
the Holders by the Company pursuant to this Section 14 shall state the nature
and amount of such dividend or distribution that shall be held in reserve.
Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any Warrant Certificate
shall be construed as conferring upon the Holders the right to vote or to
consent or to receive notice as stockholders in respect of the meetings of
stockholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other matter, or
any rights whatsoever as stockholders of the Company.

Section 16. Supplements and Amendments; Actions. The Company and the
-----------------------------------
Warrant Agent may from time to time supplement or amend this Agreement without
the approval of any holders of Warrants in order to cure any ambiguity or to
correct or supplement any provision contained herein which may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions in
regard to matters or questions arising hereunder which the Company and the
Warrant Agent may deem necessary or desirable and which shall not in any
26
way adversely affect the rights of any holder of Warrants hereunder. Any
amendment or supplement to this Agreement that has a material adverse effect on
the rights of holders hereunder shall require the written consent of registered
holders of a majority of the then outstanding Warrants, which consent shall then
be effective against all the Holders of Warrants hereunder. The consent of each
holder of a Warrant affected shall be required for any amendment pursuant to
which the Exercise Price would be increased or the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon exercise of Warrants would be decreased (not including
adjustments contemplated hereunder). The Warrant Agent shall be entitled to
receive and shall be fully protected in relying upon an officers' certificate
and opinion of counsel as conclusive evidence that any such amendment or
supplement is authorized or permitted hereunder, that it is not inconsistent
herewith, and that it will be valid and binding upon the Company in accordance
with its terms.
Any actions seeking enforcement of the rights of Holders hereunder
(including paragraph 3 of Section 7 hereof) may be brought either by the Warrant
Agent or the Holders of more than 50% of the Warrants issued hereunder and then
outstanding.
Section 17. Concerning the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent
----------------------------
undertakes the duties and obligations imposed by this Agreement upon the
following terms and conditions, by all of which the Company and the Holders, by
their acceptance of Warrants, shall be bound:
(a) The statements contained herein and in the Warrant Certificate
shall be taken as statements of the Company, and the Warrant Agent assumes no
responsibility for the correctness of any of the same except such as describe
the Warrant Agent or any action taken by it. The Warrant Agent assumes no
responsibility with respect to the distribution of the Warrants except as
herein otherwise provided.
(b) The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the
Company to comply with the covenants contained in this Agreement or in the
Warrants to be complied with by the Company.
(c) The Warrant Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or
powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself (through
its employees) or by or through its attorneys or agents (which shall not include
its
27
employees) and shall not be responsible for the misconduct of any agent
appointed with due care.
(d) The Warrant Agent may consult at any time with legal counsel
satisfactory to it (who may be counsel for the Company), and the Warrant Agent
shall incur no liability or responsibility to the Company or to any Holder in
respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith
and in accordance with the opinion or the advice of such counsel.
(e) Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement
the Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter
be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action
hereunder, such fact or matter (unless such evidence in respect thereof be
herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and
established by a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board, the President,
Chief Financial Officer, one of the Vice Presidents, the Treasurer or the
Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent; and such
certificate shall be full authorization to the Warrant Agent for any action
taken or suffered in good faith by it under the provisions of this Agreement in
reliance upon such certificate.
(f) The Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent reasonable
compensation for all services rendered by the Warrant Agent in the performance
of its duties under this Agreement, to reimburse the Warrant Agent for all
expenses, taxes and governmental charges and other charges of any kind and
nature incurred by the Warrant Agent (including reasonable fees and expenses of
the Warrant Agent's counsel and agents) in the performance of its duties under
this Agreement, and to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it harmless against
any and all liabilities, including judgments, costs and counsel fees, for
anything done or omitted by the Warrant Agent in the performance of its duties
under this Agreement, except as a result of the Warrant Agent's negligence or
bad faith.
(g) The Warrant Agent shall be under no obligation to institute any
action, suit or legal proceeding or to take any other action likely to involve
expense unless the Company or one or more Holders shall furnish the Warrant
Agent with reasonable security and indemnity satisfactory to the Warrant Agent
for any costs and expenses which may be incurred, but this provision shall not
affect the power of the Warrant Agent to take such action as the Warrant Agent
may consider proper, whether with or without any such security or indemnity.
28
All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the Warrants may be
enforced by the Warrant Agent without the possession of any of the Warrants or
the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and
any such action, suit or proceeding instituted by the Warrant Agent shall be
brought in its name as Warrant Agent, and any recovery of judgment shall be for
the ratable benefit of the Holders, as their respective rights or interests may
appear.
(h) The Warrant Agent and any stockholder, director, officer or
employee of the Warrant Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Warrants or
other securities of the Company or become pecuniarily interested in any
transactions in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend
money to the Com pany or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not
Warrant Agent under this Agreement or such director, officer or employee.
Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent from acting in any other
capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity including, without
limitation, acting as Transfer Agent or as a lender to the Company or an
Affiliate thereof.
(i) The Warrant Agent shall act hereunder solely as agent, and its
duties shall be determined solely by the provisions hereof. The Warrant Agent
shall not be liable for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in
connection with this Agreement except for its own negligence or bad faith.
(j) The Warrant Agent will not incur any liability or responsibility
to the Company or to any Holder for any action taken in reliance on any notice,
resolution, waiver, consent, order, certificate, or other paper, document or
instrument reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent
or presented by the proper party or parties.
(k) The Warrant Agent shall not be under any responsibility in
respect of the validity of this Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof
(except the due execution hereof by the Warrant Agent) or in respect of the
validity or execution of any Warrant (except its countersignature thereof); nor
shall the Warrant Agent by any act hereunder be deemed to make any
representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any Warrant
Shares (or other stock) to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Warrant,
or as to whether any Warrant Shares (or other stock) will, when issued, be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, or as to the Exercise Price or the
number or amount of Warrant Shares or other securities or other property
issuable upon exercise of any Warrant.
29
(l) The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept
instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from the
Chair man of the Board, the President, any Vice President or the Secretary of
the Company, and to apply to such officers for advice or instructions in
connection with its duties, and shall not be liable for any action taken or
suffered to be taken by it in good faith and without negligence in accordance
with instructions of any such officer or officers.
Section 18. Change of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may resign at
-----------------------
any time and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement by giving to the
Company 30-days' notice in writing. The Warrant Agent may be removed by like
notice to the Warrant Agent from the Company. If the Warrant Agent shall resign
or be removed or shall otherwise become incapable of acting, the Company shall
appoint a successor to the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such
appointment within a period of 30 days after such removal or after it has been
notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or
incapacitated Warrant Agent or by any Holder (who shall with such notice submit
his, her or its Warrant for inspection by the Company), then any Holder may
apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
to the Warrant Agent. Pending appointment of a successor warrant agent, either
by the Company or by such court, the duties of the Warrant Agent shall be
carried out by the Company. Any successor warrant agent, whether appointed by
the Company or such a court, shall be a bank or trust company in good standing,
incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof
or the District of Columbia and having at the time of its appointment as warrant
agent a combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000. After appointment,
the successor warrant agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties
and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Warrant Agent without
further act or deed; but the former Warrant Agent shall deliver and transfer to
the successor warrant agent any property at the time held by it hereunder, and
execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for
such purpose. Failure to file any notice provided for in this Section 18,
however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the
resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent or the appointment of the successor
warrant agent, as the case may be. In the event of such resignation or removal,
the Company or the successor warrant agent shall mail by first class mail,
postage prepaid, to each Holder, written notice of such removal or resignation
and the name and address of such successor warrant agent.
30
Section 19. Successors. All the covenants and provisions of this
----------
Agreement by or for the benefit of the Company, the Warrant Agent or any holder
of Warrants shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors
and assigns hereunder.
Section 20. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate at 5:00 p.m.,
-----------
New York City time, on the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Agreement will terminate on any earlier date if all Warrants have been exercised
pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 21. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH WARRANT
-------------
CERTIFICATE ISSUED HEREUNDER SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF SAID STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW
RULES THEREOF.
Section 22. Benefits of This Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement
--------------------------
shall be construed to give to any person or corporation other than the Company,
the Warrant Agent and the registered Holders of the Warrant Certificates any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement; but this
Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company, the
Warrant Agent and the registered Holders of the Warrant Certificates.
Section 23. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
------------
number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be
deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute
but one and the same instrument.
Section 24. Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for

convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the
meaning hereof.

Exhibit D-1 - Parent's Year 2000 Representation
Year 2000
---------
Parent has evaluated the impact of the Year 2000 Issue and completed
upgrading or modifying critical applications and systems to accommodate Year
2000 dating. This includes all computer systems, office machines, phone and
security systems, off-the-shelf systems and applications, custom software
applications, and accounting systems. Parent believes that the financial and
operational systems of Parent, as currently used, will function adequately with
respect to the Year 2000 Issue.
Parent has limited information concerning the compliance status of its
third-party contractors. Parent's current third party contractors generally
test Parent products and provide Parent with the results of those tests and
manufacture drug supplies. Parent has initiated formal communications with all
of its significant suppliers and vendors to determine the extent to which Parent
may be vulnerable if those third parties fail to remediate their own Year 2000
issues. Parent is continually receiving and evaluating written assurances from
all significant suppliers and vendors that they have completed, or are working
on Year 2000 projects with deadlines well in advance of December 1999. To date,
approximately all suppliers and vendors contacted, have reported that they will
be fully operational on January 1, 2000.
Parent is not significantly reliant on computer software applications
and systems during its developmental stage.
As part of the commercialization of products, Parent has third parties
manufacture and distribute its products. Parent places significant dependence
on such third parties' computer systems for purchasing, production, customer
order entry and invoicing and other related activities. A disruption in these
systems could result in lost revenue from inventory shortages, improper
execution of customer orders and/or delays in the resolution and collection of
outstanding invoices. Parent may make significant additions to and changes in
its existing computer software applications and systems and/or the use of such
systems. If Parent makes any such additions or changes, it would affect
Parent's exposure to the Year 2000 Issue since Parent would become more reliant
on its computer software applications and systems.
At this time, Parent does not expect that the cost of its Year 2000
Issue compliance program will be material to its business, financial condition
or results of operations and does not currently anticipate any material
disruption in its operations.

Exhibit D-2 - Company's Year 2000 Representation
Year 2000
---------
The Company has evaluated the impact of the Year 2000 Issue and completed
upgrading or modifying critical applications and systems to accommodate Year
2000 dating. This includes all computer systems, office machines, phone and
security systems, off-the-shelf systems and applications, custom software
applications, and accounting systems. The Company believes that the financial
and operational systems of the Company, as currently used, will function
adequately with respect to the Year 2000 Issue.
The Company has limited information concerning the compliance status of its
third-party contractors. The Company's current third party contractors generally
test the Company products and provide the Company with the results of those
tests and manufacture drug supplies. The Company has initiated formal
communications with all of its significant suppliers and vendors to determine

The Company is not significantly reliant on computer software applications
and systems during its developmental stage.
As part of the possible future commercialization of products, the Company
intends to have third parties manufacture and distribute its products. The
Company will place significant dependence on such third parties' computer
systems for purchasing, production, customer order entry and invoicing and other
related activities. A disruption in these systems could result in lost revenue
from inventory shortages, improper execution of customer orders and/or delays in
the resolution and collection of outstanding invoices. In preparation for the
possible future commercialization of products, the Company may make significant
additions to and changes in its existing computer software applications and
systems and/or the use of such systems. If the Company makes any such additions
or changes, it would affect the Company's exposure to the Year 2000 Issue since
the Company would become more reliant on its computer software applications and
systems.
At this time, the Company does not expect that the cost of its Year 2000
Issue compliance program will be material to its business, financial condition

________ __, 1999 (the "Merger Agreement") by and among Endo
Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Parent"), Algos Pharmaceutical Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company") and [Endo Newco], a Delaware
corporation ("Sub").
This certificate is supplied to you in connection with your rendering
of opinions regarding certain federal income tax consequences of the merger (the
"Merger") of the Company with and into Sub pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms not defined herein have the
meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement.
A. Representations. After consulting with its counsel and auditors
---------------
regarding the meaning of and factual support for the following representations,
the undersigned hereby certifies and represents the following facts will be true
at the Effective Time:
1. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company will merge with and
into Sub, and Sub will acquire all of the assets and liabilities of the Company;
2. Parent is participating in the Merger for good and valid business
reasons and not for tax purposes;
3. Except for cash paid in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common
Stock, all shares of Company Common Stock will be exchanged solely for Parent
Common Stock and Parent Warrants. In addition, no shares of Sub will be issued
to any shareholder of the Company in the Merger, and Parent will issue the
Parent Common Stock and Parent Warrants that are to be received by each Company
Common shareholder in the Merger;
4. The sum of the cash paid in lieu of fractional shares of Parent
Common Stock, the fair market value of the Parent Warrants, and the fair market
value of Parent Common Stock to be received by each shareholder of the Company
pursuant to Section 1.7(c) of the Merger Agreement will be approximately equal
to the fair market value of Company Common Stock surrendered in exchange
therefor. In connection with the Merger no holder of Company Common Stock will
receive in exchange for Company Common Stock, directly or indirectly, any
consideration from Parent other than Parent Common Stock, Parent Warrants, and
cash in lieu of a fractional share of Parent Common Stock;
5. Neither Parent nor any person related to Parent, as defined in
Treas. Reg. (S) 1.368-1(e)(3), (i) has acquired any stock of the Company or (ii)
has a plan or intention to redeem or otherwise reacquire any Parent Common Stock
issued in the Merger to the shareholders of the Company;
6. Prior to the Merger, Parent will be in control of Sub within the
meaning of Section 368(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code");
7. At the time of the Merger, Sub will not have outstanding any
warrants, options, convertible securities, or any other type of right pursuant
to which any person could acquire common stock in Sub that, if exercised or
converted, would affect Parent's retention of control of Sub within the meaning
of Section 368(c) of the Code;
8. Following the Merger, Sub will not issue additional shares of its
stock that would result in Parent losing control of Sub within the meaning of
Section 368(c) of the Code;
9. As of the Effective Time, neither Parent nor any corporation
affiliated with Parent: (i) will be under any obligation, or will have entered
into any agreement to redeem or repurchase any shares of Parent Common Stock
issued in the Merger or to make any extraordinary distributions in respect of
Parent Common Stock; or (ii) will have any plan or intention to reacquire shares
of Parent Common Stock issued in the Merger. After the Merger, no dividends or
distributions will be made to the former Company stockholders by Parent other
than regular, normal dividends or distributions made to all holders of Parent
Common Stock;
10. Except for dispositions made in the ordinary course of business
and transfers described in Section 368(a)(2)(C) of the Code and Treas.
Reg. (S) 1.368-2(k)(1), Parent
2
has no plan or intention to cause Sub to sell or otherwise dispose of the assets
acquired from the Company in the Merger;
11. Following the Merger, Sub will continue the "historic business"
of the Company or use a "significant portion" of the Company's "historic
business assets" in a business, as each such term is used in Treas. Reg. (S)
1.368-1(d);
12. Parent, Sub, the Company and the shareholders of the Company will
each pay their respective expenses incurred in connection with the Merger,
provided that all filing fees and printing expenses for the Proxy Statement and
Registration Statement shall be shared equally by the Company and the Parent.
Neither Parent nor Sub has agreed to assume, nor will it directly or indirectly
assume, any expense or other liability, whether fixed or contingent, of any
holder of Company Common Stock;
13. Parent has no plan or intention: (i) to liquidate Sub, (ii) to
merge Sub with and into another corporation or (iii) to sell or otherwise
dispose of the stock of Sub;
14. There is no intercorporate indebtedness existing between the
Company and Parent that was issued, acquired, or will be settled at a discount
as a result of the Merger, and Parent will assume no liability of any
shareholder of the Company in connection with the Merger;
15. None of the compensation received by any shareholder-employee of
the Company will be separate consideration for, or allocable to, any of their
shares of Company Common Stock; none of the Parent Common Stock or the Parent
Warrants to be received by any shareholder-employee of the Company will be
separate consideration for, or allocable to, any employment agreement; and the
compensation to be paid to any such shareholder-employee will be for services
actually rendered and will be commensurate with amounts paid to third parties
bargaining at arm's-length for similar services;
16. As of the Effective Time, neither Parent nor any corporation
affiliated with Parent will own, directly or indirectly, nor has Parent or any
such affiliated corporation owned during the past five years, directly or
indirectly, any shares of stock of the Company or securities, options, warrants
or instruments giving the holder thereof the right to acquire Company stock or
other securities issued by the Company;
17. Neither Parent nor Sub are investment companies as defined in
Section 368(a)(2)(F)(iii) and (iv) of the Code;
18. Parent is not under the jurisdiction of a court in a Title 11 or
similar case within the meaning of Section 368(a)(3)(A) of the Code;
3
19. The fair market value of the assets of the Company to be
transferred to Sub in the Merger will equal or exceed the sum of the liabilities
assumed by Sub plus the amount of liabilities to which the transferred assets
are subject;
20. Parent will not assume any of the Company's liabilities in the
Merger;
21. The payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common
Stock is solely for the purpose of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to
Parent of issuing fractional shares and does not represent separately bargained
for consideration. The total consideration that will be paid in the Merger to
the shareholders of the Company in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common
Stock will not exceed one percent (1%) of the total consideration that will be
issued in the Merger to shareholders of the Company in exchange for their
Company Common Stock. The fractional share interests of each shareholder of the
Company will be aggregated and no shareholder will receive cash in an amount
greater than the value of one full share of Parent Common Stock;
22. The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein
represent the full and complete agreement among Parent, Sub and the Company
regarding the Merger, [and excluding the Stock Exchange Agreement], there are no
other written or oral agreements regarding the Merger other than those expressly
referred to or contemplated in the Merger Agreement;
23. The terms of the Merger Agreement and all other agreements
entered into in connection therewith are the product of arm's-length
negotiations;
24. The facts relating to the Merger, as such facts are described in
the Form S-4 are, insofar as such pertain to Parent, true, complete and accurate
in all material respects and each of the representations made by Parent in the
Merger Agreement and other documents associated therewith is true and accurate;
and
25. Parent is authorized to make all of the representations set forth
herein.

5. Neither the Company nor any person related to the Company, as
defined in Treas. Reg. (S) 1.368-1(e)(3), determined without regard to Treas.
Reg. (S) 1.368-1(e)(3)(i)(A), has (i) redeemed or otherwise acquired any stock

holder of Company Common Stock;
8. There is no intercorporate indebtedness existing between the

10. The business currently carried on by the Company is its "historic
business" within the meaning of Treas. Reg. (S) 1.368-1(d) and no assets of the
Company have been sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of which would prevent

following the Merger, as such terms are used in Treas. Reg. (S) 1.368-1(d);

assumed by Sub plus the amount of liabilities to which the transferred assets
are subject. In addition, the liabilities of the Company assumed by Sub and the

15. At least 90 percent of the fair market value of the net assets

For purposes of determining the percentage of the Company's net and gross assets
to be acquired by Sub pursuant to the Merger, the following assets will be
treated as held by the Company immediately prior, but not acquired by Sub
pursuant to the Merger: (i) assets disposed of by the Company prior to the
Merger and in contemplation thereof (including, without limitation, any asset
disposed of by the Company, other than in the ordinary course of business,
pursuant to a plan or intention existing during the period ending on the
Effective Date and beginning with the earlier of the commencement of
negotiations (whether formal or informal) with Parent or Sub regarding the
Merger), (ii) assets used by the Company to pay shareholders, if any, who

the Merger;
3

represent the full and complete agreement among Parent, Sub and the Company
regarding the Merger, and excluding the Stock Exchange Agreement, there are no
other written or oral agreements regarding the Merger and which the Company is
party to other than those expressly referred to or contemplated in the Merger
Agreement;
18. The terms of the Merger Agreement and all other agreements
entered into in connection therewith are the product of arm's-length

and accurate;
20. The Company is not currently, and during the five years preceding

Attention________________
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have been advised that as of the date of this letter I may be deemed
to be an "affiliate" of Endo Pharmaceuticals Holdings Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Parent"), as the term "affiliate" is defined for purposes of
------
paragraphs (c) and (d) of Rule 145 of the rules and regulations (the "Rules and
---------
Regulations") of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under
----------- ----------
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). Pursuant to the terms of
---
the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November _____, 1999 (the
"Agreement"), by and among Parent, Endo Inc., a newly-formed, wholly-owned
---------
subsidiary of Parent ("Sub"), and Algos Pharmaceutical Corporation, a Delaware
---
corporation (the "Company"), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to merge
-------
with and into Sub, with Sub continuing as the surviving corporation (the
"Merger").
------
I represent, warrant and covenant to the Company that in the event I
receive shares of common stock, par value $.01, of Parent ("Parent Common
-------------
Stock") as a result of the Merger:
-----
A. I shall not make any sale, transfer or other disposition of the
Parent Common Stock in violation of the Act or the Rules and Regulations.
B. I have carefully read this letter and the Agreement and discussed
the requirements of such documents and other applicable limitations upon my
ability to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of Parent Common Stock to the
extent I felt necessary, with my counsel or counsel for Parent.
C. I have been advised that the issuance of Parent Common Stock to
me pursuant to the Merger has been registered with the Commission under the Act
on a Registration Statement on Form S-4. However, I have also been advised that,
because at the time the Merger is submitted for a vote of the stockholders of
the Company, I may be deemed to be an affiliate of Parent, I may not sell,
transfer or
F-1
otherwise dispose of Parent Common Stock issued to me in the Merger unless (i)
such sale, transfer or other disposition is made in conformity with the volume
and other limitations of Rule 145 promulgated by the Commission under the Act,
(ii) such sale, transfer or other disposition has been registered under the Act
or (iii) in the opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company, such
sale, transfer or other disposition is otherwise exempt from registration under
the Act.
D. I understand that Parent is under no obligation to register the
sale, transfer or other disposition of the Parent Common Stock by me or on my
behalf under the Act or to take any other action necessary in order to make
compliance with an exemption from such registration available solely as a result
of the Merger.
E. I also understand that there will be placed on the certificates
for the Parent Common Stock issued to me, or any substitutions therefor, a
legend stating in substance:
"THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ISSUED
IN A TRANSACTION TO WHICH RULE 145 PROMULGATED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 APPLIES. THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY
THIS CERTIFICATE MAY ONLY BE TRANSFERRED IN A REGISTERED
PUBLIC OFFERING OR IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESALE PROVISIONS
OF RULE 145 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT."
F. I also understand that unless a sale or transfer is made in
conformity with the provisions of Rule 145, or pursuant to a registration
statement, Parent reserves the right to put the following legend on the
certificates issued to any transferee:
"THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND WERE ACQUIRED
FROM A PERSON WHO RECEIVED SUCH SHARES IN A TRANSACTION TO
WHICH RULE 145 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933
APPLIES. THE SHARES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED BY THE HOLDER NOT WITH
A VIEW TO, OR FOR RE SALE IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY DISTRIBUTION
THEREOF WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND
MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN
ACCORDANCE WITH AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933."
F-2
It is understood and agreed that the legends set forth in paragraphs E
and F above shall be removed by delivery of substitute certificates without such
legend after one year unless the provisions of Rule 145(d)(2) have been amended
to require a longer period than one year.
Execution of this letter should not be considered an admission on my
part that I am an "affiliate" of Parent as described in the first paragraph of
this letter, as or a waiver of any rights I may have to object to any claim that
I am such an affiliate or on after the date of this letter.

"Agreement"), by and among Endo Pharmaceuticals Holdings Inc., a Delaware
---------
corporation ("Parent"), Endo Inc., a Delaware corporation and a newly-formed,
------
wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ("Sub"), and the Company, pursuant to which
---
the Company has agreed to merge with and into Sub, with Sub continuing as the
surviving corporation (the "Merger").
------
As a result of the Merger, I may receive shares of common stock, par
value $.01 per share, of Parent ("Parent Common Stock"). I would receive the
Parent Common Stock in exchange for shares (or options for shares) owned by me
of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the "Company Common
--------------
Stock").
-----
I represent, warrant and covenant to the Parent that in the event I
receive Parent Common Stock as a result of the Merger:
A. I shall not make any sale, transfer or other disposition of the
Parent Common Stock in violation of the Act or the Rules and Regulations.
F-1
B. I have carefully read this letter and the Agreement and discussed
the requirements of such documents and other applicable limitations upon my
ability to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of Parent Common Stock to the
extent I felt necessary, with my counsel or counsel for the Company.
C. I have been advised that the issuance of Parent Common Stock to
me pursuant to the Merger has been registered with the Commission under the Act
on a Registration Statement on Form S-4. However, I have also been advised that,
because at the time the Merger is submitted for a vote of the stockholders of
the Company, (a) I may be deemed to be an affiliate of the Company and (b) the
distribution by me of the Company Common Stock has not been registered under the
Act, I may not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of Parent Common Stock issued
to me in the Merger unless (i) such sale, transfer or other disposition is made
in conformity with the volume and other limitations of Rule 145 promulgated by
the Commission under the Act, (ii) such sale, transfer or other disposition has
been registered under the Act or (iii) in the opinion of counsel reasonably
acceptable to Parent, such sale, transfer or other disposition is otherwise
exempt from registration under the Act.
D. I understand that Parent is under no obligation to register the
sale, transfer or other disposition of the Parent Common Stock by me or on my
behalf under the Act or to take any other action necessary in order to make
compliance with an exemption from such registration available solely as a result
of the Merger.
E. I also understand that there will be placed on the certificates
for the Parent Common Stock issued to me, or any substitutions therefor, a
legend stating in substance:
"THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION
TO WHICH RULE 145 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 APPLIES.
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY ONLY BE TRANSFERRED IN A
REGISTERED PUBLIC OFFERING OR IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESALE PROVISIONS
OF RULE 145 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT."
F. I also understand that unless a sale or transfer is made in
conformity with the provisions of Rule 145, or pursuant to a registration
statement, Parent reserves the right to put the following legend on the
certificates issued to any transferee:
"THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND WERE
F-2
ACQUIRED FROM A PERSON WHO RECEIVED SUCH SHARES IN A TRANSACTION TO WHICH
RULE 145 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 APPLIES. THE
SHARES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED BY THE HOLDER NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR FOR RESALE
IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY DISTRIBUTION THEREOF WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE
TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933."
It is understood and agreed that the legends set forth in paragraphs E
and F above shall be removed by delivery of substitute certificates without such
legend after one year unless the provisions of Rule 145(d)(2) have been amended
to require a longer period than one year.
Execution of this letter should not be considered an admission on my
part that I am an "affiliate" of the Company as described in the first paragraph
of this letter, as or a waiver of any rights I may have to object to any claim
that I am such an affiliate or on after the date of this letter.
Very truly yours,

Exhibit G - Form of Tax Sharing Agreement
TAX SHARING AGREEMENT
---------------------
This TAX SHARING AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") by and among Endo
---------
Pharmaceuticals Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Endo"), Endo Inc., a
----
Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Endo, and [Newco], LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company ("[Newco] LLC"), is effective as of this __
-----------
day of ______, ____.
WHEREAS the members of [Newco] LLC have agreed to exchange the shares
of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Endo ("Endo Common Stock")
-----------------
currently beneficially owned by them for membership interests of [Newco] LLC;/1/
WHEREAS under the Parent Plan certain officers and employees of Endo
have been granted stock options exercisable against Endo to purchase newly
issued shares of Endo Common Stock in certain circumstances;
WHEREAS Endo and Sub entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with
[Target] Pharmaceutical Corporation, a Delaware corporation, on November ___,
1999 (the "Merger Agreement");
----------------
WHEREAS, in connection with the Merger, employee stock options granted
or to be granted under the Parent Plan will be amended as provided in Section
5.9 of the Merger Agreement in order to provide that such options will be
exercisable solely into shares of Parent Common Stock that are beneficially
owned by certain holders of Parent Common Stock immediately following the Parent
_____________________
/1/ Consider whether all Endo Common Stock owned by the members will be
contributed or whether contribution will be limited to the maximum number of
shares of Endo Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Options. In the case of an
exercise of Options prior to a sale of a significant number of Endo shares by
[Newco] LLC (or significant dilution of [Newco] LLC through new stock issuances
by Endo) there may be a tax advantage to limiting the number of shares placed in
the LLC. For business reasons the members may also prefer to hold their Endo
shares individually rather than through [Newco] LLC.
Recapitalization and prior to the Effective Time (such amended options, the
"[Newco] LLC Options");
-------------------
WHEREAS the shares of Endo Common Stock to be delivered upon exercise
of the [Newco] LLC Options will be provided entirely by [Newco] LLC and not
directly or indirectly by Endo or any other Endo stockholder; and
WHEREAS under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code") and the Treasury Regulations, rulings and other interpretations
----
thereunder, deductible compensation expense resulting from the exercise of a
[Newco] LLC Option by an Endo officer or employee is treated for income tax
purposes as a deduction of Endo;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, representations,
warranties and agreements herein contained, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
PAYMENTS
Section 1.1 Payments to [Newco] LLC.
-----------------------
(a) Upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event, Endo (or any successor
entity) shall pay to [Newco] LLC or its designees by wire transfer in
immediately available funds in U.S. dollars the Tax Benefit Amount to the extent
such Tax Benefit Amount has not previously resulted in a payment under this
Section 1.1.
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, "Liquidity Event" shall mean any
---------------
transaction or series of transactions resulting in (A) a sale of greater than
20% on a fully diluted basis of the common equity of Endo through (i) a primary
offering by Endo, (ii) a secondary sale of Endo Common Stock by [Newco] LLC or
other holders of Endo Common Stock pursuant to a registration rights agreement
or (iii) a combination of primary and secondary offerings described in clauses
(i) and (ii) of this subsection, (B) a Change of Control or (C) a sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of Endo.
2
(c) For purposes of this Agreement, "Change of Control" shall mean
-----------------
(i) any merger, consolidation or other business combination that requires the
approval of holder of Endo Common Stock, (ii) any transaction or series of
transactions resulting in an acquisition by any Person (or Persons acting in
concert) unrelated to [Newco] LLC or its Affiliates of greater than 50% of the
equity of Endo measured by vote or value on a fully diluted basis or (iii) the
consummation by Endo of a plan of complete liquidation or a dissolution of Endo.
(d) For purposes of this Agreement, "Tax Benefit Amount" means the
------------------
cumulative excess (if any) of (A) the Taxes that would have been payable by Endo
and its Subsidiaries for all taxable periods or portions thereof after the
Effective Date if none of the [Newco] LLC Options had been exercised over (B)
the actual Taxes payable by Endo and its Subsidiaries for such periods. For the
avoidance of doubt and for purposes of this Section 1(d), in order to determine
the Tax Benefit Amount for any taxable period of Endo and its Subsidiaries in
which a net operating loss carryforward deduction ("NOL") is utilized, the
---
portion of the NOL attributable to deductions resulting from the exercise of
[Newco] LLC Options shall be treated as utilized last. By way of example, and
solely for the avoidance of doubt, if Endo has a loss for tax purposes in Year 1
of $100, consisting of $65 of deductions attributable to the exercise of
[Newco] LLC Options and $35 of deductions attributable to interest expense, and
in Year 2 Endo has $40 of taxable income prior to application of the NOL, $35 of
the $40 NOL applied against Year 2 income will be deemed to be attributable to
the interest expense and $5 of the NOL will be deemed attributable to the
exercise of the [Newco] LLC Options. Therefore, the Tax Benefit Amount would be
the Taxes that would have been payable by Endo if its NOL in Year 2 had been
only $35. The NOL carryforward to Year 3 of $60 would then be treated as
consisting entirely of deductions resulting from the exercise of the [Newco] LLC
Options.
(e) The parties hereby agree that no payments shall be made and no
rights to any payment shall accrue to [Newco] LLC under this Agreement until the
occurrence of a Liquidity Event, if any, and that Endo and its Subsidiaries
shall not credit to an account of [Newco] LLC or any other Person, set aside any
funds or assets, or otherwise make available to or subject to a claim of [Newco]
LLC or any other Person any amounts hereunder until such amounts become payable
to [Newco] LLC pursuant to Section 1.1(a) hereof.
3
(f) The parties hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, (i) any payments made pursuant to this Section 1.1 shall be
treated as payments described in Section 302 of the Code and shall take no
position inconsistent with this treatment for any tax purpose and (ii) no amount
shall be payable hereunder, and [Newco] LLC shall not be entitled to any payment
hereunder, to the extent any such payment is not permitted under Endo's Senior
Credit Facility, unless or until such time as such payment is either permitted
under the Senior Credit Facility or the Senior Credit Facility is terminated.
For purposes hereof, "Senior Credit Facility" shall mean the Credit Agreement
dated as of _____, 1999 [the Effective Time], among Endo, the lenders party
thereto, and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as amended, restated, modified, renewed,
refunded, replaced, or refinanced, in whole or in part, from time to time.
ARTICLE II
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 2.1 Survival This Agreement shall survive until the later of
--------
(a) the close of the last taxable period of Endo or any successor to Endo in
which a deduction may be allowable to Endo or its Subsidiaries or their
successors as a result of or attributable to the exercise of an Option or (b)
the payment by Endo of all amounts payable under Section 1.1 hereof.

-------
have such opportunity to cure, any material breach or default of any provision,
term or covenant of Article 4 of this Agreement if Executive had previously
committed such material breach or default and received notice thereof pursuant
to this clause (iii). The Employment Agreement shall only be terminable by the
Company with cause;
provided, however, that "cause" shall in no event include failure by Executive

4. Executive's Covenants.
---------------------
4.1 Executive agrees that he will not from and after the date
hereof through the fifth anniversary of the termination of the Employment Period
(for whatever reason), directly or indirectly, through any other person, firm or
corporation, solicit, raid, entice, induce or encourage any employee, sales
representative, agent or consultant of or for the Company or its affiliates, to
(i) cease his or her association with or leave the employ of the Company or its
affiliates, (ii) solicit customers or suppliers of the Company or its affiliates
for Executive's or any other person's or entity's benefit or (iii) otherwise act
in violation of that person's obligations to the Company or its affiliates, and

any other person.
4.2 Executive acknowledges that, by reason of his employment
with the Company, he will obtain confidential or non-public proprietary
knowledge or information pertaining to the business and policies of the Company
and its affiliates. Executive agrees that during and after the term of this
Agreement, he shall not disclose, without the prior written consent of the Board
of Directors of the Company or the Chairman of the Board, any confidential or
non-public proprietary knowledge or information pertaining to the Company and
4
its affiliates ("Confidential Information"), including, but not limited to (1)
trade secrets concerning the business and affairs of the Company and its
affiliates, product specifications, data, know-how, formulae, compositions,
processes, designs, sketches, photographs, graphs, drawings, samples, inventions
and ideas, past, current and planned research and development, current and
planned manufacturing or distribution methods and processes, customer lists,
information regarding customers of the Company (including such customers'
requirements), price lists, market studies, business plans, computer software
and programs (including object code and source code), computer software and
database technologies, systems, structures, and architectures (and related
formulae, compositions, processes, improvements, devices, know-how, inventions,
discoveries, designs, methods and information); (2) information concerning the
business and affairs of the Company and its affiliates (which includes
historical financial statements, financial projections and budgets, historical
and projected sales, capital spending budgets and plans, the names and
backgrounds of key personnel, personnel training and techniques and material)
however documented; and (3) notes, analyses, compilations, studies, summaries
and other materials prepared by or for the Company and its affiliates containing
or based, in whole or in part, on any information included in the foregoing.
Confidential Information shall not include information that: (a) was known to
Executive prior to his first employment with the Company or its affiliates, or
(b) is public knowledge, or becomes public knowledge other than by action (or
omission) of (i) Executive or persons obtaining access to such information
directly or indirectly from Executive or (ii) other persons disclosing such
information in breach of obligations to the Company.
4.3 Executive acknowledges and agrees that all memoranda, notes,
reports, records and other documents made or compiled by Executive, or made
available to Executive prior to or during the term of this Agreement concerning
the Company's and its affiliates, business, shall be the Company's or its
affiliates' property and shall be delivered to the Company on the termination of
this Agreement or at any other time on request by the Board of Directors or
Chairman of the Board of the Company.
4.4 Executive agrees that he will not, from and after the date
hereof through the fifth anniversary of the termination of the Employment Period
(for whatever reason), (i) directly or indirectly engage in, represent in any
way, or be connected with, any business or activity (such business or activity
being hereinafter called a "Competing Business"), which engages in pain
management, generic pharmaceuticals or such other activities that (during
Executive's Employment Period) the Company engages in or intends to engage in
and is set forth in a detailed written business plan that has been submitted to
the Company's Board of Directors prior to the termination of the Executive's
Employment Period, within any state in which the Company or its affiliates
transact business, whether such engagement shall be as an officer, director,
owner, employee, partner, affiliate or other participant in any Competing
Business; or (ii) assist others in engaging in any Competing Business in the
manner described in the foregoing clause (i); provided, however, that it shall
-------- -------
not be a violation of this Section 4.4 for Executive (a) to be the registered or
beneficial owner of up to twelve percent (12%) of any class of capital stock of
U.S. Dermatalogics, Inc., and the amount and percentage ownership of shares
beneficially owned by Executive, as of the date of this Agreement is set forth
on Schedule 4.4 hereto, (b) to be the registered or beneficial owner of shares
of any class of capital stock of a Competing Business that Executive owns as of
the date of this Agreement, the amounts and percentage ownership of which is set
forth on Schedule 4.4 hereto or (c) to become the registered
5
or beneficial owner of up to five percent (5%) of any class of the capital stock
of a Competing Business, provided that in the case of each of clauses (a), (b)
--------
and (c) Executive does not actively participate in the business of such
Competing Business until such time as this covenant expires. The Executive
acknowledges and understands that the foregoing restrictions may limit his
ability to earn a livelihood in a business similar to the business of the
Company, but he nevertheless believes that he has received and will receive
sufficient consideration and other benefits in connection with the Company's
issuance of certain stock to the Executive, as an employee of the Company and as
otherwise provided hereunder to clearly justify such restrictions which, in any
event (given his education, skills and ability), the Executive does not believe
would prevent him from earning a living; provided, however, that the Executive
-------- -------
may actively engage in a Competing Business during the term of the covenant set
forth in this Section 4.4 if the Executive provides written notice to the
Company prior to engaging in any such Competing Business and the Executive
thereafter receives the written consent of the Board of Directors of the Company
to engage in such Competing Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the
period from and after the date of this Agreement through the fifth anniversary
of the termination of the Employment Period, the Executive shall keep the Board
of Directors apprised of his business activities.
4.5 The Executive shall promptly disclose, grant and assign to
the Company for its sole use and benefit any and all inventions, improvements,
technical information and suggestions relating in any way to the business of the
Company, which he may develop or acquire during the Employment Period (whether
or not during usual working hours), together with all patent applications,
letters patent, copyrights and reissues thereof that may at any time be granted
for or upon any such invention, improvement or technical information. In
connection therewith:
(i) The Executive shall without charge, but at the expense
of the Company, promptly at all times hereafter execute and deliver such
applications, assignments, descriptions and other instruments as may be
reasonably necessary or proper in the reasonable opinion of the Company to vest
title to any such inventions, improvements, technical information, patent
applications, patents, copyrights or reissues thereof in the Company and to
enable it to obtain and maintain the entire right and title thereto throughout
the world; and
(ii) The Executive shall render to the Company at its
expense (including a reasonable payment for the time involved in case he is not
then in its employ) all such assistance as it may reasonably require in the
prosecution of applications for said patents, copyrights or reissues thereof, in
the prosecution or defense of interferences which may be declared involving any
said applications, patents or copyrights and in any litigation in which the
Company may be involved relating to any such patents, inventions, improvements
or technical information.
4.6 The provisions of this paragraph 4 shall survive the
termination or expiration of this Agreement irrespective of the reason therefor.
4.7 Executive acknowledges that the services to be rendered by
him are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and, in connection with
such services, he will have access to Confidential Information vital to the
Company's business. By reason of this,
6
Executive consents and agrees that if he violates any of the provisions of this
Agreement with respect to the diversion of the Company's or its affiliates'
employees or confidentiality, the Company or its affiliates would sustain
irreparable harm and, therefore, in addition to any other remedies which the
Company may have under this Agreement or otherwise, the Company shall be
entitled to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for an injunction
restraining Executive from committing or continuing any such violation of this
Agreement, and Executive shall not object to any such application.
5. Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold
---------------
harmless Executive on the terms set forth in the Company's Bylaws and
Certificate of Incorporation as they exist on the date of this Agreement and in
any event to the same extent that the Company provides indemnification for its
other executive employees.
6. Conflicting Duties. The Company acknowledges that during his
------------------
tenure pursuant to this Employment Agreement, Executive shall not be required to
work "full-time" for the Company and shall work on an as-needed basis, the dates
and times of which to be mutually agreed upon by the Company and Executive. In
addition, the Company acknowledges that during the Employment Period Executive
shall retain the right to pursue and/or fulfill other business opportunities,
commitments and obligations so long as such opportunities, commitments and
obligations would not constitute a breach by Executive of his obligations under
Section 4 of this Employment Agreement.

WARRANT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated as of _______ __, ____, by
---------
and between Endo Pharmaceuticals Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation
(together with any successors and assigns, the "Company"), and [WARRANT AGENT],
-------
as Warrant Agent (the "Warrant Agent").
-------------
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
as of November __, 1999 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Company, Endo
----------------
Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Sub"),
---
and [TARGET] Pharmaceutical Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Target"), the
------
Company proposes to issue warrants (each a "Warrant," and collectively, the
-------
"Warrants") for the purchase of an aggregate of 29,834,075/1/ shares of common
--------
stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock," and the
------------
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants being referred to
herein as the "Warrant Shares");
--------------
WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the
Company and the Warrant Agent is willing to act in connection with the issuance,
transfer, exchange and exercise of Warrants as provided herein; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements
herein, the Company and the Warrant Agent hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. Appointment of Warrant Agent. The Company hereby
----------------------------
appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company in accordance with
the instructions hereinafter set forth in this Agreement, and the Warrant Agent
hereby accepts such appointment.
Section 2. Warrant Certificates. The Warrants will initially be
--------------------
issued in global form (the "Global Warrants"), substantially in the form of
---------------
Exhibit A hereto. Any certificates evidencing the Global Warrants to be
delivered pursuant to this Agreement (the "Warrant Certificates") shall be
--------------------
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto. Such Global Warrants
shall represent such of the outstanding Warrants as shall be specified therein
and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of
outstanding Warrants from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate
amount of outstanding Warrants represented thereby may from time to time be
reduced or increased, as appropriate. Any endorsement of a Global Warrant to
reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of
__________________
/1/ These numbers shall be adjusted in the final Endo Warrant. See
footnotes 2-5 below.
outstanding Warrants represented thereby shall be made by the Warrant Agent and
the Depositary (as defined below) in accordance with instructions given by the
holder thereof. [The Depository Trust Company] shall act as the Depositary with
respect to the Global Warrants until a successor shall be appointed by the
Company. Upon written request, a Warrant holder who holds Warrants may receive
from the Depositary and Warrant Agent Warrants in registered form as definitive
Warrant Certificates (the "Definitive Warrants") as set forth in Section 6
-------------------
below.
Section 3. Execution of Warrant Certificates. Warrant Certificates
---------------------------------
shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its
President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial
Officer or Treasurer or a Vice President and by its Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary. Each such signature upon the Warrant Certificates may be in the form
of a facsimile signature of the present or any future Chairman of the Board,
President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial
Officer, Treasurer, Vice President, Secretary or Assistant Secretary and may be
imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Warrant Certificates and for that
purpose the Company may adopt and use the facsimile signature of any person who
shall have been Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief
Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, a Vice President,
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, notwithstanding the fact that at the time
the Warrant Certificates shall be countersigned and delivered or disposed of
such person shall have ceased to hold such office.
In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the
Warrant Certificates shall cease to be such officer before the Warrant
Certificates so signed shall have been countersigned by the Warrant Agent, or
disposed of by the Company, such Warrant Certificates nevertheless may be
countersigned and delivered or disposed of as though such person had not ceased
to be such officer of the Company; and any Warrant Certificate may be signed on
behalf of the Company by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of
such Warrant Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such
Warrant Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Warrant
Agreement any such person was not such officer.
Warrant Certificates shall be dated the date of countersignature by
the Warrant Agent.
Section 4. Registration and Countersignature. The Warrants shall
---------------------------------
be numbered and shall be registered on the books of the Company maintained at
the
2
principal office of the Warrant Agent in [LOCATION OF WARRANT AGENT'S OFFICES]
(the "Warrant Register") as they are issued.
----------------
Warrant Certificates shall be manually countersigned by the Warrant
Agent and shall not be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned. The
Warrant Agent shall, upon written instructions of the Chairman of the Board, the
President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial
Officer, Treasurer, a Vice President, the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of
the Company, initially countersign and deliver Warrants entitling the holders
thereof to purchase not more than the number of Warrant Shares referred to above
in the first recital hereof and shall thereafter countersign and deliver
Warrants as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered
holders (the "Holders") of the Warrant Certificates as the absolute owners
-------
thereof (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made
by anyone) for all purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall
be affected by any notice to the contrary.
Section 5. Transfer and Exchange of Warrants. The Warrant Agent
---------------------------------
shall from time to time, subject to the limitations of Section 6 hereof,
register the transfer of any outstanding Warrants upon the records to be
maintained by it for that purpose, upon surrender thereof duly endorsed or
accompanied (if so required by it) by a written instrument or instruments of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, duly executed by the
registered Holder or Holders thereof or by the duly appointed legal
representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney. Subject to the terms of
this Agreement, each Warrant Certificate may be exchanged for another
certificate or certificates entitling the Holder thereof to purchase a like
aggregate number of Warrant Shares as the certificate or certificates
surrendered then entitle each Holder to purchase. Any Holder desiring to
exchange a Warrant Certificate or Certificates shall make such request in
writing delivered to the Warrant Agent, and shall surrender, duly endorsed or
accompanied (if so required by the Warrant Agent) by a written instrument or
instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, the Warrant
Certificate or Certificates to be so exchanged.
Upon registration of transfer, the Warrant Agent shall countersign and
deliver by certified or first class mail a new Warrant Certificate or
Certificates to the persons entitled thereto. The Warrant Certificates may be
exchanged at the option of the Holder thereof, when surrendered at the office or
agency of the Company
3
maintained for such purpose, which initially will be the corporate trust office
of the Warrant Agent in [LOCATION OF WARRANT AGENT'S CORPORATE TRUST OFFICE],
for another Warrant Certificate, or other Warrant Certificates of different
denominations, of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the right to
purchase a like number of Warrant Shares.
No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of
transfer of Warrant Certificates, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge that is
imposed in connection with any such exchange or registration of transfer.
Section 6. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges.
---------------------------------------
(a) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Warrants. When Definitive
--------------------------------------------
Warrants are presented to the Warrant Agent with a request:
(i) to register the transfer of the Definitive Warrants; or
(ii) to exchange such Definitive Warrants for an equal number of Definitive
Warrants of other authorized denominations,
the Warrant Agent shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested
if its requirements under this Agreement are met; provided, however, that the
-------- -------
Definitive Warrants presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, duly executed by the Holder
thereof or by such Holder's attorney, duly authorized in writing.
(b) Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Warrant for a Beneficial
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Interest in a Global Warrant. The Warrant Agent may exchange a Definitive
----------------------------
Warrant for a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant only if the Warrant Agent
has received such Definitive Warrant, duly endorsed or accompanied by
appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent,
together with written instructions directing the Warrant Agent to make, or to
direct the Depositary to make, an endorsement on the Global Warrant to reflect
an increase in the aggregate amount of the Warrants represented by the Global
Warrant. If such conditions have been satisfied, the Warrant Agent shall cancel
such Definitive Warrant and cause, or direct the Depositary to cause, in
accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the
Depositary and the Warrant Agent, the number
4
of Warrant Shares represented by the Global Warrant to be increased accordingly.
If no Global Warrant is then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the
Warrant Agent shall countersign a new Global Warrant in the appropriate amount.
(c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Warrants. The transfer and
----------------------------------------
exchange of Global Warrants or beneficial interests therein shall be effected
through the Depositary, in accordance with this Warrant Agreement (including the
restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the procedures of the Depositary
therefor.
(d) Transfer of a Beneficial Interest in a Global Warrant for a
-----------------------------------------------------------
Definitive Warrant.
------------------
(i) Any person having a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant may upon
his, her or its request exchange such beneficial interest for a
Definitive Warrant. Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of written
instructions (or such other form of instructions as is customary for
the Depositary) from the Depositary or its nominee on behalf of any
person having a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant and upon
receipt by the Warrant Agent of a written order or such other form of
instructions as is customary for the Depositary or the person
designated by the Depositary as having such a beneficial interest
containing registration instructions, then the Warrant Agent will
cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures
existing between the Depositary and the Warrant Agent, the aggregate
amount of the Global Warrant to be reduced and, following such
reduction, the Company will execute and, upon receipt of a
countersignature, the Warrant Agent will countersign and deliver to
the transferee a Definitive Warrant.
(ii) Definitive Warrants issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a
Global Warrant pursuant to this Section 6(d) shall be registered in
such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary,
pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or
otherwise, shall instruct the Warrant Agent in writing, provided such
designation is in accordance with this Section 6(d). The Warrant Agent
shall deliver such Definitive Warrants to the persons in whose names
such Definitive Warrants are registered.
5
(e) Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange of Global Warrants.
--------------------------------------------------------
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Warrant Agreement (other than the
provisions set forth in subsection (f) of this Section 6), a Global Warrant may
not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the
Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another
nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a
successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.
(f) Authentication of Definitive Warrants in Absence of Depositary.
--------------------------------------------------------------
If at any time:
(i) the Depositary for the Global Warrants notifies the Company that the
Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the
Global Warrant and a successor Depositary for the Global Warrant is
not appointed by the Company within 90 days after delivery of such
notice; or
(ii) the Company, at its sole discretion, notifies the Warrant Agent in
writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Definitive Warrants
under this Warrant Agreement,
then the Company will execute, and the Warrant Agent, upon receipt of an
officers' certificate, signed by the President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief
Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer or a Vice President of the Company,
requesting the counter-signature and delivery of Definitive Warrants, will
countersign and deliver Definitive Warrants, in an aggregate number equal to the
aggregate number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant, in exchange for
such Global Warrant.
(g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of a Global Warrant. At such time
--------------------------------------------------
as all beneficial interests in a Global Warrant have either been exchanged for
Definitive Warrants, redeemed, repurchased or cancelled, such Global Warrant
shall be returned to or retained and cancelled by the Warrant Agent. At any
time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Warrant
is exchanged for Definitive Warrants, redeemed, repurchased or cancelled, the
number of Warrants represented by such Global Warrant shall be reduced and an
endorsement shall be made on such Global Warrant, by the Warrant Agent to
reflect such reduction.
6
(h) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Definitive
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Warrants.
--------
(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall execute, and the
Warrant Agent shall countersign Definitive Warrants and Global
Warrants.
(ii) All Definitive Warrants and Global Warrants issued upon any
registration, transfer or exchange of Definitive Warrants or Global
Warrants shall be the valid obligations of the Company, entitled to
the same benefits under this Warrant Agreement as the Definitive
Warrants or Global Warrants surrendered upon the registration of
transfer or exchange.
(iii) Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant,
the Warrant Agent and the Company may deem and treat the person in
whose name any Warrant is registered as the absolute owner of such
Warrant, and neither the Warrant Agent nor the Company shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 7. Terms of Warrants; Exercise of Warrants. Subject to the
---------------------------------------
terms of this Agreement, the Warrant Holders shall have the right, which may be
exercised commencing on or after the Exercisability Date (as defined below) and

order to reflect that at the Effective Time such aggregate number, when taken
together with the shares of Parent Common Stock held by Persons who had been
holders of Parent Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall
equal 80% of the shares of Parent Common Stock on a fully diluted basis
(excluding the effect of the Algos Warrants and after giving effect to the
Adjustment Event as if it had occurred).
7
each Warrant being exercisable for 0.250000 Warrant Shares)/3/ in the event the
Adjustment Event has occurred prior to such time. Each Warrant not exercised
prior to the Expiration Date shall become void and all rights thereunder and all
rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease as of the Expiration
Date. If applicable, dividends and other distributions will be made upon
exercise of the Warrants as set forth in Section 14 hereof.
"Exercisability Date" shall mean the fifth (5/th/) Business Day (as
-------------------
defined below) following December 31, 2002 if the Company (or any of its
subsidiaries) has not received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (the "FDA") with respect to its New Drug Application for
---
MorphiDex(R) for the treatment of any pain prior to December 31, 2002.
In addition to the notices required by Section 14 hereof, the Company
shall give prompt written notice to the Warrant Agent that the Exercisability
Date has occurred and shall cause the Warrant Agent, on behalf of and at the
expense of the Company, within 5 Business Days after such notification is
received by the Warrant Agent, to mail by first class mail, postage prepaid, to
each Holder a notice specifying that the Exercisability Date has occurred and
that the Warrant has become exercisable pursuant to its terms and that the
Warrant will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.
In addition, the Company shall post appropriate notices of the Exercisability
Date on its web pages and issue press releases to wire services. A "Business
--------

of the Warrant Agent or its agents in [LOCATION OF WARRANT AGENT'S OFFICE], of
the Warrant Certificate(s) evidencing the Warrants to be exercised with the form
of
______________________
/3/ These numbers shall be adjusted in the final Agreement and Warrants in
order to reflect that at the Effective Time such aggregate number, when taken
together with the shares of Parent Common Stock held by Persons who had been
holders of Parent Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall
equal 85% of the shares of Parent Common Stock on a fully diluted basis
(excluding the effect of the Algos Warrants as if no Adjustment Event had

election to purchase on the reverse thereof duly filled in and signed, which
signature shall be guaranteed by a participant in a recognized Signature
Guarantee Medallion Program, and upon payment to the Warrant Agent for the
account of the Company of the Exercise Price, as adjusted as herein provided,
for the number of Warrant Shares together, if applicable, with cash payable as
provided in Section 13 hereof and any dividends or distributions as provided in
Section 14 hereof in respect of which such Warrants are then exercised. Payment
of the Exercise Price may be made (a) in the form of cash or by certified or
official bank check payable to the order of the Company in New York Clearing
House Funds, (b) by delivering to the Company a written notice accompanying the
surrender of a Warrant to, at the time of exercise, apply to the payment of the
Exercise Price such number of Warrant Shares as shall be specified in such
notice, in which case an amount equal to the excess of the Current Market Value
(as defined in Section 12(d) hereof) of such Warrant Shares on the date of
exercise over the Exercise Price required for such exercise shall be deemed to
have been paid to the Company and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
such exercise shall be reduced by such specified number (a "Cashless Exercise")
-----------------
or (c) any combination of (a) and (b) above.
Subject to the provisions of Section 6 hereof, upon such surrender of
Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price, the Company shall issue and cause to
be delivered with all reasonable dispatch to or upon the written order of the
Holder and in such name or names as the Warrant Holder may designate a
certificate or certificates for the number of full Warrant Shares issuable upon
the exercise of such Warrants together with cash as provided in Section 13
hereof. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued
and any person so named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of
record of such Warrant Shares as of the date of the surrender of such Warrants
and payment of the Exercise Price.
On or after the Exercisability Date, the Warrants shall be
exercisable, at the election of the Holders thereof, either in full or from time
to time in part and, in the event that a certificate evidencing Warrants is
exercised in respect of fewer than all of the Warrant Shares issuable on such
exercise at any time prior to the Expiration Date, a new certificate evidencing
the remaining Warrant or Warrants will be issued, and the Warrant Agent is
hereby irrevocably authorized to countersign and to deliver the required new
Warrant Certificate or Certificates pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7
and of Section 3 hereof, and the Company, whenever required by the Warrant
Agent, will promptly supply the Warrant Agent with Warrant Certificates duly
executed on behalf of the Company for such purpose.
9
All Warrant Certificates surrendered upon exercise of Warrants shall
be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. Such cancelled Warrant Certificates shall
then be either delivered to the Company or disposed of by the Warrant Agent in a
manner consistent with the Warrant Agent's customary procedure for such disposal
and in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Company. The Warrant Agent shall
account promptly to the Company with respect to Warrants exercised and
concurrently pay to the Company all monies received by the Warrant Agent for the
purchase of the Warrant Shares through the exercise of such Warrants.
The Warrant Agent shall keep copies of this Agreement available for
inspection by the Holders during normal business hours at its office. The
Company shall supply the Warrant Agent from time to time with such numbers of
copies of this Agreement as the Warrant Agent may request.
Section 8. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all documentary
----------------
stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares upon the
exercise of Warrants; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required
-------- -------
to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved
in the issue of any Warrant Certificates or any certificates for Warrant Shares
in a name other than that of the registered Holder of a Warrant Certificate
surrendered upon the exercise of a Warrant, and the Company shall not be
required to issue or deliver such Warrant Certificates unless or until the
person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company
the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the
Company that such tax has been paid.
Section 9. Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates. In case any
-----------------------------------------
of the Warrant Certificates shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the
Company may in its discretion issue and the Warrant Agent may countersign, in
exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant
Certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant Certificate lost,
stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing an
equivalent number of Warrants, but only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to
the Company and the Warrant Agent of such loss, theft or destruction of such
Warrant Certificate and indemnity, if requested, also satisfactory to them.
Applicants for such substitute Warrant Certificates shall also comply with such
other reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the
Company or the Warrant Agent may prescribe.
Section 10. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company will at all
-----------------------------
times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the
aggregate
10
of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or its authorized and issued Common
Stock held in its treasury, for the purpose of enabling it to satisfy any
obligation to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of Warrants, the maximum number
of shares of Common Stock which may then be deliverable upon the exercise of all
outstanding Warrants.
The Company will keep a copy of this Agreement on file with the
transfer agent for the Common Stock (the "Transfer Agent") and with every
--------------
subsequent transfer agent for any shares of the Company's capital stock issuable
upon the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the Warrants. The
Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to requisition from time to time
from such Transfer Agent the stock certificates required to honor outstanding
warrants upon exercise thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
The Company will supply such Transfer Agent with duly executed certificates for
such purposes and will provide or otherwise make available any cash which may be
payable as provided in Section 13 hereof. The Company will furnish such
Transfer Agent a copy of all notices of adjustments and certificates related
thereto transmitted to each Holder pursuant to Section 14 hereof.
The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon
exercise of Warrants will, upon payment of the Exercise Price therefor and
issue, be validly authorized and issued, fully paid, nonassessable, free of
preemptive rights and free from all taxes, liens, charges and security interests
with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company will use its reasonable best
efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any
public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable
the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
Section 11. Obtaining Stock Exchange Listings. The Company will
---------------------------------
from time to time take all action which may be necessary so that the Warrants
and, immediately upon their issuance upon exercise of the Warrants, the Warrant
Shares will be listed on the principal securities exchanges and markets within
the United States of America, if any, on which other shares of Common Stock are
then listed.
11
Section 12. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant
--------------------------------------------------
Shares Issuable.
---------------
(a) If the Company:
(i) pays a dividend or makes a distribution on its Common Stock in
shares of its Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company;
or
(ii) subdivides, splits, combines or reclassifies its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a different number of securities of
the same class,
then the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each
Warrant (the "Exercise Rate") in effect immediately prior to such action shall
-------------
be proportionately adjusted so that the Holder of any Warrant thereafter
exercised may receive the aggregate number and kind of shares of capital stock
of the Company which such Holder would have owned immediately following such
action if such Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such action and
the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted
to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such action by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding before giving effect to such action and
the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock and/or
such other capital stock outstanding referred to in the foregoing clause (a)(1)
after giving effect to such action.
An adjustment pursuant to this Section 12(a) shall become effective
immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and
immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination
or reclassification.
If, after an adjustment pursuant to this Section 12(a), a Holder of
a Warrant upon exercise of it may receive shares of two or more classes of
capital stock of the Company, the board of directors of the Company shall
determine the allocation of the adjusted Exercise Price between the classes of
capital stock. After such allocation, the exercise privilege and the Exercise
Price of each class of capital stock shall thereafter be subject to adjustment
on terms comparable to those applicable to Common Stock in this Section 12.
Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed
above shall occur.
12
(b) Adjustment for Certain Issuances of Common Stock. If the
------------------------------------------------
Company issues or sells to any Affiliate (as defined in Section 12(d) hereof) of
the Company (other than KIA V, L.P. and KEP V, L.P.) shares of its Common Stock
or distributes to any Affiliate of the Company (other than KIA V, L.P. and KEP
V, L.P.) any rights, options or warrants entitling them to purchase shares of
Common Stock, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock,
in each case, at a price per share less than the Current Market Value on the
record date for determining entitlements of such Affiliates to participate in
such issuance, sale or distribution (the "Time of Determination") and prior to
--------------------- ---
such issuance, sale or distribution the Com pany did not first offer to issue,
sell or distribute such shares of its Common Stock or such rights, options or
warrants or such securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock to
all holders of Common Stock on the same economic terms and on a pro rata basis
with the issuance, sale or distribution to such Affiliates of the Company, then
----
the Exercise Rate shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula:
E' = E x O + N
---------------
O + N x P
-----
M
and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the following
formula:
EP' = EP x E
---
E'
where:
E' = the adjusted Exercise Rate.
E = the Exercise Rate immediately prior to the Time of
Determination for any such issuance, sale or distribution.
EP' = the Adjusted Exercise Price.
EP = the Exercise Price immediately prior to the Time of
Determination for any such issuance, sale or distribution.
13
O = the number of Fully Diluted Shares (as defined below)
outstanding immediately prior to the Time of Determination for
any such issuance, sale or distribution.
N = the number of additional shares of Common Stock issued, sold or
issuable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants.
P = the per share price received and receivable by the Company in
the case of any issuance or sale of Common Stock or rights,
options or warrants as to which such adjustment is being made,
inclusive of the exercise price per share of Common Stock
payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants.
M = the Current Market Value per share of Common Stock on the Time
of Determination for any such issuance, sale or distribution.
For purposes of this Section 12(b), the term "Fully Diluted Shares"
--------------------
shall mean (i) the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of a specified date,
and (ii) the shares of Common Stock into or for which rights, options, warrants
or other securities of the Company outstanding as of such date are exercisable
or convertible (other than the Warrants).
Any adjustments shall be made successively whenever any such rights,
options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the
relevant Time of Determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exercise
Rate and the Exercise Price shall not be subject to adjustment in connection
with (i) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock upon exercise of any such
rights, options or warrants which have previously been the subject of an
adjustment under this Agreement for which the required adjustment has been made
and (ii) any exercise of the Warrants. If at the end of the period during which
any such rights, options or warrants are exercisable, not all rights, options or
warrants shall have been exercised, the Warrant shall be immediately readjusted
to what it would have been if "N" in each of the above formulas had been the
number of shares actually issued.
14
(c) When De Minimis Adjustment May Be Deferred. No adjustment
------------------------------------------
in the Exercise Rate need be made unless the adjustment would require an
increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Exercise Rate. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any adjustments that are not made shall be carried forward and taken
into account in any subsequent adjustment, provided that no such adjustment
-------- ----
shall be deferred beyond the date on which a Warrant is exercised.
All calculations under this Section 12 shall be made to the nearest
cent or to the nearest 1/100/th/ of a share, as the case may be.
(d) Certain Definitions. "Current Market Value" per share of
------------------- --------------------
Common Stock or of any other security (herein collectively referred to as a
"Security") at any date shall be:
--------
(1) if the Security is not registered under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), (i) the value of the Security
------------
determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company and
certified in a board resolution, based on the most recently completed
arm's-length transaction between the Company and a person other than an
Affiliate of the Company and the closing of which occurs on such date or
shall have occurred within the six months preceding such date or (ii) if no
such transaction shall have occurred on such date or within such
six-month period, the value of the Security determined as of a date within
30 days preceding such date by an Independent Financial Expert (as defined
below), or
(2) if the Security is registered under the Exchange Act, the average
of the daily closing bid prices of such Security for 30 consecutive
Business Days selected by the Company from the period of 45 Business Days
preceding such date, but only if such Security shall have been listed on a
national securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market or traded
through an automated quotation system during such entire 45-Business Day
period.
The "closing bid price" for any Security on each Business Day means
-----------------
the closing price, regular way, on such day on the principal exchange on which
such Security is traded, or if no sale takes place on such day, the average of
the closing bid and asked prices on such day.
15
"Independent Financial Expert" shall mean any nationally recognized
----------------------------
investment banking firm that is not an Affiliate of the Company. Any such
person may receive customary compensation and indemnification by the Company for
opinions or services it provides as an Independent Financial Expert.
"Affiliate" of any specified person means any other person which
---------
directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries controls or is
controlled by, or is under common control with, such specified person. For the
purposes of this definition, "control" (including with correlative meanings, the
terms "controlling," "controlled by" and "under common control with") as used
with respect to any person, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the
power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such
person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by agreement or
otherwise.
"Ordinary Cash Distribution" means any quarterly cash dividend on the
--------------------------
Common Stock to the extent that the aggregate cash dividend per share of Common
Stock in any calendar quarter does not exceed the greater of (x) the amount per
share of Common Stock of the next preceding quarterly cash dividend on the
Common Stock (as adjusted to reflect subdivisions or combinations of the Common
Stock) and (y) 3.0% of the average of the last reported sales prices of the
Common Stock during the ten trading days immediately prior to the date of
declaration of such dividend.
(e) When No Adjustment Required. If an adjustment is made upon the
---------------------------
establishment of a record date for an issuance, sale or distribution subject to
subsection (a) or (b) hereof and such issuance, sale or distribution is
subsequently cancelled or is not otherwise made, the Exercise Rate and Exercise
Price then in effect shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the
board of directors of the Company determines to cancel such issuance, sale or
distribution or when it is otherwise evident that such issuance, sale or
distribution will not be so made, to that which would have been in effect if
such record date had not been fixed. If an adjustment would be required under
both subsections (a) and (b) above, such adjustments will be determined without
duplication.
To the extent the Warrants become convertible into cash, no adjust
ment need be made thereafter as to the amount of cash into which such Warrants
are exercisable. Interest will not accrue on the cash.
16
(f) Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Exercise Rate or Exercise
--------------------
Price is adjusted, the Company shall provide the notices required by Section 14
hereof.
(g) Voluntary Reduction. The Company from time to time may increase
-------------------
the Exercise Rate or reduce the Exercise Price by any amount for any period of
time (including, without limitation, permanently) if the period is at least 20
Business Days and the Company has given notice of such increase or reduction in
accordance with Section 14 hereof.
An increase of the Exercise Rate or reduction in the Exercise Price
under this subsection (g) (other than a permanent increase) does not change or
adjust the Exercise Rate otherwise in effect for purposes of subsection (a) and
(b) of this Section 12.
(h) When Issuance or Payment May Be Deferred. In any case in which
----------------------------------------
Section 12 shall require that an adjustment in the Exercise Rate or Exercise
Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Company
may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Holder
of any Warrant exercised after such record date the Warrant Shares and other
capital stock of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above
the Warrant Shares and other capital stock of the Company, if any, issuable upon
such exercise on the basis of the Exercise Rate prior to such adjustment, and
(ii) paying to such Holder any amount in cash in lieu of a fractional share
pursuant to Section 13 hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver
-------- -------
to the Warrant Agent and shall cause the Warrant Agent, on behalf of and at the
expense of the Company, to deliver to such Holder a due xxxx or other
appropriate instrument evidencing such Holder's right to receive such additional
Warrant Shares, other capital stock and cash upon the occurrence of the event
requiring such adjustment.
(i) Reorganizations. In case of (i) any capital reorganization, other
---------------
than in the cases referred to in Section 12(a) and (b) hereof and other than any
capital reorganization that does not result in any reclassification of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock into shares of other stock or other
securities or property, or (ii) the consolidation or merger of the Company with
or into another corporation (other than a merger or consolidation in which the
Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into shares of other
stock or other securities or property), or
17
(iii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company
(collectively such actions being hereinafter referred to as "Reorganizations"),
---------------
there shall thereafter be deliverable upon exercise of any Warrant
in accordance with the terms hereof (in lieu of the number of shares of Common
Stock theretofore deliverable) the number of shares of stock or other securities
or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that would
otherwise have been deliverable upon the exercise of such Warrant would have
been entitled upon such Reorganization if the Exercisability Date had occurred
and such Warrant had been exercised in full immediately prior to such
Reorganization. In case of any Reorganization, appropriate adjustment, as
determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company, whose
determination shall be described in a duly adopted resolution certified by the
Company's Secretary or Assistant Secretary, shall be made in the application of
the provisions herein set forth with respect to the rights and interests of
Holders so that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter be applicable,
as nearly as possible, in relation to any such shares or other securities or
property thereafter deliverable upon exercise of Warrants.
The Company shall not effect any such Reorganization unless prior to
or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if
other than the Company) resulting from such Reorganization or the corporation or
other entity purchasing such assets shall expressly assume, by a supplemental
warrant agreement or other acknowledgment executed and delivered to the Warrant
Agent, the obligation to deliver to the Warrant Agent and to cause the Warrant
Agent to deliver to each such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets
as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder may be entitled to
purchase in accordance with the terms hereof upon the occurrence of the
Exercisability Date, and the due and punctual performance and observance of each
and every covenant, condition, obligation and liability under this Agreement to
be performed and observed by the Company in the manner prescribed herein.
The foregoing provisions of this Section 12(i) shall apply to
successive Reorganization transactions.
(j) Form of Warrants. Irrespective of any adjustments in the number
----------------
or kind of shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants, Warrants
theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and
number and kind of shares as are stated in the Warrants initially issuable
pursuant to this Agreement.
18
(k) Warrant Agent's Disclaimer. The Warrant Agent has no duty to
--------------------------
determine when an adjustment under this Section 12 should be made, how it should
be made or what it should be. The Warrant Agent has no duty to determine
whether any provisions of a supplemental warrant agreement under subsection (i)
of this Section 12 are correct. The Warrant Agent makes no representation as to
the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon exercise of
Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for the Company's failure
to comply with this Section 12.
(l) Miscellaneous. For purpose of this Section 12 the term "shares
------------- ------
of Common Stock" shall mean (i) shares of the class of stock designated as the
---------------
Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company as of the date of this
Agreement, and (ii) shares of any other class of stock resulting from successive
changes or reclassification of such shares consisting solely of changes in par
value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value. In
the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this
Section 12, the Holders of Warrants shall become entitled to purchase any
securities of the Company other than, or in addition to, shares of Common Stock,
thereafter the number or amount of such other securities so purchasable upon
exercise of each Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a
manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with
respect to the Warrant Shares contained in subsec subsections (a) through (l) of
this Section 12, inclusive, and the provisions of Sections 7, 8, 10 and 13 with
respect to the Warrant Shares or the Common Stock shall apply on like terms to
any such other securities.
Section 13. Fractional Interests. The Company shall not be require
--------------------
to issue fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of Warrants. If more than one
Warrant shall be presented for exercise in full at the same time by the same
Holder, the number of full Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the
exercise thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of
Warrant Shares purchasable on exercise of the Warrants so presented. If any
fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 13,
be issuable on the exercise of any Warrants (or specified portion thereof), the
Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the excess of the Current Market
Value of a Warrant Share over the Exercise Price on the day immediately
preceding the date the Warrant is presented for exercise, multiplied by such
fraction.
19
Section 14. Notices to Warrant Holders; Reservation of Dividends.
----------------------------------------------------
Upon any adjustment pursuant to Section 12 hereof, the Company shall give prompt
written notice of such adjustment to the Warrant Agent and shall cause the
Warrant Agent, on behalf of and at the expense of the Company, within 10 days
after notification is received by the Warrant Agent of such adjustment, to mail
by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder a notice of such
adjustment(s) and shall deliver to the Warrant Agent a certificate of the Chief
Financial Officer of the Company, setting forth in reasonable detail (i) the
number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant and the
Exercise Price of such Warrant after such adjustment(s), (ii) a brief statement
of the facts requiring such adjustment(s) and (iii) the computation by which
such adjustment(s) was made. Where appropriate, such notice may be given in
advance and included as a part of the notice required under the other provisions
of this Section 14.
In case the Exercisability Date has occurred and:
(a) the Company shall authorize the issuance to all holders of shares
of Common Stock of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock or of any other subscription rights or warrants; or
(b) the Company shall authorize the distribution to all holders of
shares of Common Stock of evidences of its indebtedness or assets or cash; or
(c) of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and
for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or of the
conveyance or transfer of the properties and assets of the Company substantially
as an entirety, or of any reclassification or change of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants (other than a change in par value, or from par
value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a
subdivision or combination), or a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of
Common Stock; or
(d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Company; or
(e) the Company proposes to take any action that would require an
adjustment to the Exercise Rate pursuant to Section 12 hereof;
20
then the Company shall give prompt written notice to the Warrant Agent and shall
cause the Warrant Agent, on behalf of and at the expense of the Company to give
to each of the registered holders of the Warrant Certificates at his, her or its
address appearing on the Warrant Register, at least 30 days (or 20 days in any
case specified in clauses (a) or (b) above) prior to the applicable record date
hereinafter specified, or the date of the event in the case of events for which
there is no record date, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, a written notice
stating (i) the date as of which the holders of record of shares of Common Stock
to be entitled to receive any such rights, options, warrants or distribution are
to be determined, or (ii) the initial expiration date set forth in any tender
offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock, or (iii) the date on which
any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation
or winding up is expected to become effective or consummated, and the date as of
which it is expected that holders of record of shares of Common Stock shall be
entitled to exchange such shares for securities or other property, if any,
deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance,
transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. The failure by the Company or
the Warrant Agent to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the
legality or validity of any distribution, right, option, warrant, consolidation,
merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, or the
vote upon any action.
The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Warrant Agent and
shall cause the Warrant Agent, on behalf of and at the expense of the Company
to give to each Holder written notice of any determination to make a
distribution or dividend to the holders of its Common Stock of any assets
(including cash (other than any Ordinary Cash Distribution)), debt securities,
preferred stock, or any rights or warrants to purchase debt securities,
preferred stock, assets or other securities (other than Common Stock, or rights,
options, or warrants to purchase Common Stock) of the Company, which notice
shall state the nature and amount of such planned dividend or distribution and
the record date therefor, and shall be given by the Company at least 20 days
prior to such record date therefor.
At any time prior to the date that is 30 Business Days after the
Exercisability Date, with respect to any distribution or dividend made by the
Company to all of the holders of its Common Stock for which notice to the
Holders of the Warrants under this Section 14 would be required had such
dividend or distribution occurred after the Exercisability Date and except for
such distributions or dividends as are provided for in Section 12 hereof, the
Company shall hold in reserve the
21
amount of any such dividend or distribution that would have been payable to the
Holders in respect of their Warrant Shares had the Holders exercised their
Warrants immediately prior to such dividend or distribution. The Company shall
release to each Holder of Warrants his, her or its pro rata share of such
reserved dividends or distributions upon the exercise of such Holder's Warrants
pursuant to Section 7 hereof. Any notice delivered to the Holders by the Company
pursuant to this Section 14 shall state the nature and amount of such dividend
or distribution that shall be held in reserve.
Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any Warrant Certificate
shall be construed as conferring upon the Holders the right to vote or to
consent or to receive notice as stockholders in respect of the meetings of
stockholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other matter, or
any rights whatsoever as stockholders of the Company.
Section 15. Notices to the Company and Warrant Agent. Any notice or
----------------------------------------
demand authorized by this Agreement to be given or made by the Warrant Agent or
by any Holder to or on the Company shall be sufficiently given or made when

Section 16. Supplements and Amendments. The Company and the Warrant
--------------------------
Agent may from time to time supplement or amend this Agreement without the
approval of any holders of Warrants in order to cure any ambiguity or to correct
or supplement any provision contained herein which may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions in
regard to matters or questions arising hereunder which the Company and the
Warrant Agent may deem necessary or desirable and which shall not in any way
adversely affect the rights of any holder of Warrants hereunder. Any amendment
or supplement to this Agreement that has a material adverse effect on the rights
of holders hereunder shall require the written consent of registered holders of
a majority of the then outstanding Warrants, which consent shall then be
effective against all the Holders of Warrants hereunder. The consent of each
holder of a Warrant affected shall be required for any amendment pursuant to
which the Exercise Price would be increased or the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon exercise of Warrants would be decreased (not including
adjustments contemplated hereunder). The Warrant Agent shall be entitled to
receive and shall be fully protected in relying upon an officers' certificate
and opinion of counsel as conclusive evidence that any such amendment or
supplement is authorized or permitted hereunder, that it is not inconsistent
herewith, and that it will be valid and binding upon the Company in
accordance with its terms.
Section 17. Concerning the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent
----------------------------
undertakes the duties and obligations imposed by this Agreement upon the
following terms and conditions, by all of which the Company and the Holders, by
their acceptance of Warrants, shall be bound:
(a) The statements contained herein and in the Warrant Certificate
shall be taken as statements of the Company, and the Warrant Agent assumes no
responsibility for the correctness of any of the same except such as describe
the Warrant Agent or any action taken by it. The Warrant Agent assumes no
responsibil-
23
ity with respect to the distribution of the Warrants except as herein otherwise
provided.
(b) The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the
Company to comply with the covenants contained in this Agreement or in the
Warrants to be complied with by the Company.
(c) The Warrant Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or
powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself (through
its employees) or by or through its attorneys or agents (which shall not include
its employees) and shall not be responsible for the misconduct of any agent
appointed with due care.
(d) The Warrant Agent may consult at any time with legal counsel
satisfactory to it (who may be counsel for the Company), and the Warrant Agent
shall incur no liability or responsibility to the Company or to any Holder in
respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith
and in accordance with the opinion or the advice of such counsel.
(e) Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement
the Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter
be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action
hereunder, such fact or matter (unless such evidence in respect thereof be
herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and
established by a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board, the President,
Chief Financial Officer, one of the Vice Presidents, the Treasurer or the
Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent; and such
certificate shall be full authorization to the Warrant Agent for any action
taken or suffered in good faith by it under the provisions of this Agreement in
reliance upon such certificate.
(f) The Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent reasonable
compensation for all services rendered by the Warrant Agent in the performance
of its duties under this Agreement, to reimburse the Warrant Agent for all
expenses, taxes and governmental charges and other charges of any kind and
nature incurred by the Warrant Agent (including reasonable fees and expenses of
the Warrant Agent's counsel and agents) in the performance of its duties under
this Agreement, and to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it harmless against
any and all liabilities, including judgments, costs and counsel fees, for
anything done or omitted by the
24
Warrant Agent in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, except as a
result of the Warrant Agent's negligence or bad faith.
(g) The Warrant Agent shall be under no obligation to institute any
action, suit or legal proceeding or to take any other action likely to involve
expense unless the Company or one or more Holders shall furnish the Warrant
Agent with reasonable security and indemnity satisfactory to the Warrant Agent
for any costs and expenses which may be incurred, but this provision shall not
affect the power of the Warrant Agent to take such action as the Warrant Agent
may consider proper, whether with or without any such security or indemnity.
All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the Warrants may be
enforced by the Warrant Agent without the possession of any of the Warrants or
the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and
any such action, suit or proceeding instituted by the Warrant Agent shall be
brought in its name as Warrant Agent, and any recovery of judgment shall be for
the ratable benefit of the Holders, as their respective rights or interests may
appear.
(h) The Warrant Agent and any stockholder, director, officer or
employee of the Warrant Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Warrants or
other securities of the Company or become pecuniarily interested in any
transactions in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend
money to the Com pany or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not
Warrant Agent under this Agreement or such director, officer or employee.
Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent from acting in any other
capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity including, without
limitation, acting as Transfer Agent or as a lender to the Company or an
Affiliate thereof.
(i) The Warrant Agent shall act hereunder solely as agent, and its
duties shall be determined solely by the provisions hereof. The Warrant Agent
shall not be liable for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in
connection with this Agreement except for its own negligence or bad faith.
(j) The Warrant Agent will not incur any liability or responsibility
to the Company or to any Holder for any action taken in reliance on any notice,
resolution, waiver, consent, order, certificate, or other paper, document or
instrument reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent
or presented by the proper party or parties.
25
(k) The Warrant Agent shall not be under any responsibility in respect
of the validity of this Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof (except
the due execution hereof by the Warrant Agent) or in respect of the validity or
execution of any Warrant (except its countersignature thereof); nor shall the
Warrant Agent by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or
warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any Warrant Shares (or other
stock) to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Warrant, or as to whether
any Warrant Shares (or other stock) will, when issued, be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable, or as to the Exercise Price or the number or amount of
Warrant Shares or other securities or other property issuable upon exercise of
any Warrant.
(l) The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept
instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from the
Chairman of the Board, the President, any Vice President or the Secretary of
the Company, and to apply to such officers for advice or instructions in
connection with its duties, and shall not be liable for any action taken or
suffered to be taken by it in good faith and without negligence in accordance
with instructions of any such officer or officers.
Section 18. Change of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may resign at
-----------------------
any time and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement by giving to the
Company 30-days' notice in writing. The Warrant Agent may be removed by like
notice to the Warrant Agent from the Company. If the Warrant Agent shall resign
or be removed or shall otherwise become incapable of acting, the Company shall
appoint a successor to the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make
such appointment within a period of 30 days after such removal or after it has
been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or
incapacitated Warrant Agent or by any Holder (who shall with such notice submit
his, her or its Warrant for inspection by the Company), then any Holder may
apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
to the Warrant Agent. Pending appointment of a successor warrant agent, either
by the Company or by such court, the duties of the Warrant Agent shall be
carried out by the Company. Any successor warrant agent, whether appointed by
the Company or such a court, shall be a bank or trust company in good standing,
incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof
or the District of Columbia and having at the time of its appointment as warrant
agent a combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000. After
appointment, the successor warrant agent shall be vested with the same powers,
rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named
26
as Warrant Agent without further act or deed; but the former Warrant Agent shall
deliver and transfer to the successor warrant agent any property at the time
held by it hereunder, and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance,
act or deed necessary for such purpose. Failure to file any notice provided for
in this Section 18, however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the
legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent or the
appointment of the successor warrant agent, as the case may be. In the event of
such resignation or removal, the Company or the successor warrant agent shall
mail by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder, written notice of
such removal or resignation and the name and address of such successor warrant
agent.
Section 19. Successors. All the covenants and provisions of this
----------
Agreement by or for the benefit of the Company, the Warrant Agent or any holder
of Warrants shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors
and assigns hereunder.
Section 20. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate at 5:00
-----------
p.m.,New York City time, on the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
this Agreement will terminate on any earlier date if all Warrants have been
exercised pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 21. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH WARRANT CERTIFICATE
-------------
ISSUED HEREUNDER SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
LAWS OF SAID STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW RULES THEREOF.
Section 22. Benefits of This Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement
--------------------------
shall be construed to give to any person or corporation other than the Company,
the Warrant Agent and the registered Holders of the Warrant Certificates any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement; but this
Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company, the
Warrant Agent and the registered Holders of the Warrant Certificates.
Section 23. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
------------
number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be
27
deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute
but one and the same instrument.
Section 24. Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for
--------
convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the
meaning hereof.
