and
final prospectus supplement (in the case of clause (2) of such sentence),

to the
Execution Time, will be included or made therein.
(b) On

Effective Date, the Registration Statement did, and when the Prospectus is
first
filed (if required) in accordance with Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date
(as
defined herein) the Prospectus (and any supplements thereto) will, comply
in all
material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act and the Exchange
Act; on the Effective Date and at the Execution Time, the Registration Statement
did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make

if not filed pursuant to Rule 424(b), will not, and on the date of any filing

fact
or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading; provided, however, that the Company makes no representations
or
warranties as to the information contained in or omitted from the Registration
Statement, or the Prospectus (or any supplement thereto) in reliance upon

the
aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial
or
otherwise), prospects, results of operations, business or properties of the
Company and the LLC, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions

(r) The
Company has filed all foreign, federal, state and local tax returns that
are
required to be filed or has requested extensions thereof (except in any case
in
which the failure so to file could not reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, results
of
operations, business or properties of the Company and the LLC, taken as a
whole,
whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business),
except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive of any

any
other assessment, fine or penalty levied against it, to the extent that any

reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the condition
(financial or otherwise), prospects, results of operations, business or
properties of the Company and the LLC, taken as a whole, whether or not arising
from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth
in or
contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement

6
(s) No
labor
problem or dispute with the employees of the Company or the LLC exists or,
to
the Company’s knowledge, is threatened or imminent, and the Company is not aware
of any existing or imminent labor disturbance by the employees of any of
its or
the LLC’s principal suppliers, contractors or customers, that could reasonably
be expected to have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial
or
otherwise), prospects, results of operations, business or properties of the
Company and the LLC, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions
in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated
in

(t) The
Company and the LLC are insured by insurers of recognized financial
responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent
and customary in the businesses in which they are engaged; all material policies
of insurance and fidelity or surety bonds insuring the Company or the LLC
or
their respective businesses, assets, employees, officers and directors are
in
full force and effect; the Company and the LLC are in compliance with the
terms
of such policies and instruments in all material respects; and there are
no
material claims by the Company or the LLC under any such policy or instrument
as
to which any insurance company is denying liability or defending under a
reservation of rights clause; and neither the Company nor the LLC has any
reason
to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage
as
and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar
insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that could
not
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the condition
(financial or otherwise), prospects, results of operations, business or
properties of the Company and the LLC, taken as a whole, whether or not arising
from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth
in or
contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement
thereto).
(u) The
Company and the LLC possess all licenses, certificates, permits and other
authorizations issued by the appropriate federal, state or foreign regulatory
authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses, except for
such
licenses, certificates, permits and other authorizations the absence of which,

a
material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects,
results of operations, business or properties of the Company and the LLC,
taken
as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course
of
business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive
of
any supplement thereto). Neither the Company nor the LLC has received any
notice
of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such
certificate, authorization or permit, the results of which proceeding could
reasonably be expected, singly or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse
effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, results of
operations, business or properties of the Company and the LLC, taken as a
whole,
whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business,
except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive of any
supplement thereto).
7
(v) The
Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to
provide
reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with
management’s general or specific authorizations; (ii) transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity
with
generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability;
(iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general
or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets
is
compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate
action
is taken with respect to any differences.
(w) The
Company has not taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or
that
would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result
in,
under the Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization or manipulation of the
price
of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the
Securities.
(x) The
Company and the LLC are (i) in compliance with any and all applicable foreign,
federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection
of
human health and safety, the environment or hazardous or toxic substances
or
wastes, pollutants or contaminants (“Environmental Laws”), (ii) have received
and are in compliance with all permits, licenses or other approvals required
of
them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses
and (iii) have not received notice of any actual or potential liability under
any environmental law, except where such non-compliance with Environmental
Laws,
failure to receive required permits, licenses or other approvals, or liability
could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have
a
material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects,
results of operations, business or properties of the Company and the LLC,
taken
as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course
of
business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive
of
any supplement thereto). Neither the Company nor the LLC has been named as
a
“potentially responsible party” under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended.
(y) In
the
ordinary course of its business, the Company periodically reviews the effect
of
Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Company
and
the LLC, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated costs
and
liabilities (including, without limitation, any capital or operating
expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with
Environmental Laws, or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints
on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third parties).
On the
basis of such review, the Company has concluded that such associated costs
and
liabilities could not reasonably be expected, singly or in the aggregate,
to
have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise),
prospects, results of operations, business or properties of the Company and
the
LLC, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary
course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus
(exclusive of any supplement thereto).
8
(z) The
minimum funding standard under Section 302 of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the regulations and published
interpretations thereunder (“ERISA”), has been satisfied by each “pension plan”
(as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA) which has been established or maintained
by the Company and/or the LLC, and all “pension plans” maintained by the Company
or the LLC that are intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the
Code
have received determination letters of the Internal Revenue Service to the
effect that such plans are so qualified, and to the knowledge of the Company,
no
facts exist that are reasonably likely to adversely effect the “qualified”
status of any such plans; neither the Company nor the LLC maintains or is
required to contribute to a “welfare plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA)
which provides retiree or other post-employment welfare benefits or insurance
coverage (other than “continuation coverage” (as defined in Section 602 of
ERISA)); each pension plan and welfare plan established or maintained by
the
Company and/or the LLC is in compliance in all material respects with the
currently applicable provisions of ERISA; and neither the Company nor the
LLC
has incurred or could reasonably be expected to incur any withdrawal liability
under Section 4201 of ERISA, any liability under Section 4062, 4063, or 4064
of
ERISA, or any other liability under Title IV of ERISA.
(aa) There
is
and has been no failure on the part of the Company or, to the Company’s
knowledge, any of the Company’s directors or officers, in their capacities as
such, to comply in all material respects with any provision, to the extent
effective, of the Sarbanes Oxley Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
in connection therewith, including Section 402 related to loans, Section
404
related to internal control over financial reporting, and Sections 302 and
906
related to certifications.
(bb) Neither
the Company nor the LLC nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any director,
officer, agent, employee or affiliate of the Company or the LLC is aware
of or
has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation
by such Persons of the FCPA, including, without limitation, making use of
the
mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly in
furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the
payment
of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization
of the
giving of anything of value to any “foreign official” (as such term is defined
in the FCPA) or any foreign political party or official thereof or any candidate
for foreign political office, in contravention of the FCPA and the Company,
the
LLC and, to the knowledge of the Company, its affiliates have conducted their
businesses in compliance with the FCPA.
“FCPA”
means Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and
regulations thereunder.
9
(cc) Except
as
described in or contemplated by the Prospectus, the Company and the LLC own,
possess, license or have other rights to use, all patents, patent applications,
trade and service marks, trade and service xxxx registrations, trade names,
copyrights, licenses, inventions, trade secrets, technology, know-how and
other
intellectual property (collectively, the “Intellectual Property”) necessary for
the conduct of the Company’s business as now conducted or as proposed in the
Prospectus to be conducted (collectively, “Company Intellectual Property”).
Except as set forth in the Prospectus or such as could not reasonably be
expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect
on
the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, results of operations,
business or properties of the Company and the LLC, taken as a whole, whether
or
not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, (a) to
the
Company’s knowledge, there are no rights of third parties to any Company
Intellectual Property other than the retained rights of licensors with respect
to licensed Company Intellectual Property; (b) to the Company’s knowledge, there
is no infringement by third parties of any Company Intellectual Property;
(c)
there is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened action, suit,
proceeding or claim by others challenging the Company’s rights in or to any
Company Intellectual Property, and the Company is unaware of any facts which
would form a reasonable basis for any such claim; (d) there is no pending
or, to
the Company’s knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others
challenging the validity or scope of any Company Intellectual Property, and
the
Company is unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any
such
claim; (e) there is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened
action, suit, proceeding or claim by others that the Company infringes or
otherwise violates any Intellectual Property of others, and the Company is
unaware of any other fact which would form a reasonable basis for any such
claim; (f) to the Company’s knowledge, there is no U.S. patent or published U.S.
patent application which contains claims that dominate, or, with respect
to such
published patent applications, that may dominate if issued, any Company
Intellectual Property or that interferes with the issued or pending claims
of
any Company Intellectual Property; and (g) there is no prior art of which
the
Company is aware that could reasonably be expected to render any U.S. patent
held by the Company invalid or any U.S. patent application held by the Company
unpatentable which has not been disclosed to the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office.
(dd) Each
of
the Company and the LLC has filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(the “FDA”) and all other applicable foreign, state and local regulatory bodies
for, and received approval of, all registrations, applications, licenses,
requests for exemptions, permits and other regulatory authorizations material
to
the conduct of its business as now conducted; each of the Company and the
LLC is
in compliance in all material respects with all such registrations,
applications, licenses, requests for exemptions, permits and other regulatory
authorizations, and all applicable FDA, foreign, state and local rules and
regulations; and the Company has no reason to believe that any party granting
any such registration, application, license, request for exemption, permit
or
other authorization is considering limiting, suspending or revoking the same
in
any material respect.
10
(ee) Each
of
the human clinical trials, animal studies and other preclinical tests conducted
by the Company or the LLC, or in which the Company or the LLC has participated,
that are described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or the
results of which are referred to in the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus, and such studies and tests conducted on behalf of the Company
or the
LLC, were and, if still pending, are being conducted in all material respects
(i) in accordance with experimental protocols, procedures and controls generally
used by qualified experts in the preclinical or clinical study of products
comparable to those being developed by the Company and (ii) in compliance
with
all applicable current Good Laboratory and Good Clinical Practices; the
descriptions of the results of such studies, tests and trials contained in
the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus are accurate and complete in all
material respects, and the Company has no knowledge of any other trials,
studies
or tests, the results of which reasonably call into question the results
described or referred to in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus;
other
than as described in or contemplated by the Prospectus, neither the Company
nor
the LLC has received any notices or correspondence from the FDA or any other
governmental agency requiring the termination, suspension or modification
(other

complied with) of any animal studies, preclinical tests or clinical trials
conducted by or on behalf of the Company or the LLC or in which the Company
or
the LLC has participated that are described in the Registration Statement
or the
Prospectus or the results of which are referred to in the Registration Statement
or the Prospectus.
Any
certificate signed by any officer of the Company and delivered to the
Underwriters or counsel for the Underwriters in connection with the offering
of
the Securities shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Company,
as
to matters covered thereby, to each Underwriter.

and Sale.
(a) The
Company agrees to issue and sell to each of the Underwriters, and each of
the
Underwriters agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company,
at
a purchase price of $23.02 per share (the “Initial Price”), the number of Firm
Shares set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter on Schedule I to this
Agreement, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 9
hereof.
11
(b) The
Company hereby grants to the several Underwriters an option to purchase,
severally and not jointly, all or any part of the Additional Shares at the
Initial Price. The number of Additional Shares to be purchased by each
Underwriter shall be the same percentage of the total number of Additional
Shares to be purchased by the Underwriters as such Underwriter is purchasing
of
the Firm Shares. Such option may be exercised only to cover over-allotments
in
the sales of the Firm Shares by the Underwriters and may be exercised in
whole
or in part at any time on or before 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the
Business Day before the Firm Shares Closing Date, and from time to time
thereafter within 30 days after the date of this Agreement, in each case
upon
written, facsimile or telegraphic notice, or verbal or telephonic notice
confirmed by written, facsimile or telegraphic notice, by the Underwriters
to
the Company no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business
Day
before the Firm Shares Closing Date or at least two Business Days before
the
Additional Shares Closing Date, as the case may be, setting forth the number
of
Additional Shares to be purchased and the time and date (if other than the
Firm
Shares Closing Date) of such purchase.
3. Delivery
and Payment.
(a) Payment
of the purchase price for, and delivery of certificates for, the Firm Shares
shall be made at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day
following the date of this Agreement or at such time on such other date,
not
later than ten Business Days after the date of this Agreement, which date
and
time may be postponed by agreement between the Underwriters and the Company
or
as provided in Section 9 hereof (such time and date of delivery and payment
are
called the “Firm Shares Closing Date”). In addition, in the event that any or
all of the Additional Shares are purchased by the Underwriters, payment of
the
purchase price, and delivery of the certificates, for such Additional Shares
shall be made on each date of delivery as specified in the notice from the
Underwriters to the Company (such time and date of delivery and payment are
called the “Additional Shares Closing Date”). The Firm Shares Closing Date and
any Additional Shares Closing Date are called, individually, a “Closing Date”
and, together, the “Closing Dates.”
(b) Payment
shall be made to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds
or
by certified or official bank check or checks payable in New York Clearing
House
(same day) funds drawn to the order of the Company, against delivery of the
respective certificates to the Underwriters for the respective accounts of
the
Underwriters of certificates for the Securities to be purchased by
them.
12
(c) Certificates
evidencing the Securities shall be registered in such names and shall be
in such
denominations as the Underwriters shall request at least two full Business
Days
before the Firm Shares Closing Date or, in the case of Additional Shares,
on the
day of notice of exercise of the option as described in Section 2(b) and
shall
be delivered by or on behalf of the Company to the Underwriters through the
facilities of the Depository Trust Company for the accounts of such
Underwriters. The Company will cause the certificates representing the
Securities to be made available for checking and packaging, at such place
as is
designated by the Underwriters, on the full Business Day before the Firm
Shares
Closing Date (or the Additional Shares Closing Date in the case of the
Additional Shares).
4. Offering
by Underwriters.
It is
understood that the several Underwriters propose to offer the Securities
for
sale to the public as set forth in the Prospectus.
5. Agreements.
The
Company agrees with the several Underwriters that:
(a) The
Company will use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement, if
not
effective at the Execution Time, and any amendment thereof, to become effective.
Prior to the termination of the offering of the Securities, the Company will
not
file any amendment of the Registration Statement or supplement to the Base
Prospectus or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement unless the Company has
furnished you a copy for your review prior to filing and will not file any
such
proposed amendment or supplement to which you reasonably object. Subject
to the
foregoing sentence, if filing of the Prospectus is required under Rule 424(b),
the Company will cause the Prospectus, properly completed, and any supplement
thereto to be filed in a form approved by the Underwriters with the Commission
pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period
prescribed and will provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriters
of such timely filing. The Company will promptly advise the Underwriters
(1)
when the Registration Statement, if not effective at the Execution Time,
shall
have become effective, (2) when the Prospectus, and any supplement thereto,
shall have been filed (if required) with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b)
or when any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement shall have been filed with
the
Commission, (3) when, prior to termination of the offering of the Securities,
any amendment to the Registration Statement shall have been filed or become
effective, (4) of any request by the Commission or its staff for any amendment
of the Registration Statement, or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement,
or for
any supplement to the Prospectus or for any additional information, (5) of
the
issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness
of the
Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding
for
that purpose and (6) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with
respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale
in any
jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for such
purpose. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of
any
such stop order or the suspension of any such qualification and, if issued,
to
obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.
13
(b) If,
at
any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be
delivered under the Act, any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus
as
then supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit
to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the
light
of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, or if it
shall
be necessary to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Prospectus
to
comply with the Act or the Exchange Act, the Company promptly will (1) notify
the Underwriters of such event, (2) prepare and file with the Commission,
subject to the second sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 5, an amendment
or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or effect such
compliance and (3) supply any supplemented Prospectus to you in such quantities
as you may reasonably request.
(c) As
soon
as practicable, the Company will make generally available to its security
holders and to the Underwriters an earnings statement or statements of the
Company and the LLC which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of
the
Act and Rule 158 under the Act.
(d) The
Company will furnish to the Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters,
without charge, signed copies of the Registration Statement (including exhibits
thereto) and to each other Underwriter a copy of the Registration Statement
(without exhibits thereto) and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an
Underwriter or dealer may be required by the Act, as many copies of the
Prospectus and any supplement thereto as the Underwriters may reasonably
request. The Company will pay the reasonable expenses of printing or other
production of all documents relating to the offering.
(e) The
Company will arrange, to the extent necessary, for the qualification of the
Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriters
may
designate, will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required
for
the distribution of the Securities and will pay any fee required to be paid
to
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., in connection with
its
review of the offering; provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated
to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified
or to take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits,
other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the Securities, in
any
jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.
14
(f) The
Company will not, without the prior written consent of UBS Securities LLC
and
CIBC World Markets Corp., offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, or otherwise
dispose of, (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might
reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual
disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or
otherwise) by the Company or any affiliate of the Company or any person in
privity with the Company or any affiliate of the Company) directly or
indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a
registration statement with the Commission in respect of, or establish or
increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent
position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, any other
shares
of Common Stock or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or
exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock, or publicly announce an intention
to
effect any such transaction, for a period of 60 days after the date of the
Underwriting Agreement (the “Lock-Up Period”), provided, however, that (i) the
Company may issue and sell Common Stock or issue stock options pursuant to
any
employee stock option plan, employee stock purchase plan, stock ownership
plan
or dividend reinvestment plan of the Company; (ii) the Company may issue
Common
Stock issuable upon the conversion of securities or the exercise of warrants
outstanding at the Execution Time; (iii) the Company may issue or sell
securities, or enter into options, warrants or other agreements providing
for
the issuance or sale of securities, to a strategic partner or in connection
with
a strategic collaboration, joint venture, licensing arrangement or other
similar
corporate transaction, provided that such strategic partner, collaborator,
joint
venture partner, licensee or licensor agrees to be bound to the same extent
as
the Company by the terms of this paragraph 5(f) (excluding the exceptions
set
forth in (i), (ii) and (iii) hereof); (iv) the Company may file registration
statements on Form S-8 relating to shares of common stock which may be issued
pursuant to any employee stock option plan of the Company and (v) the Company
may file a registration statement on Form S-3 for a shelf registration of
shares
of common stock pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Act. If (x) during
the last 17 days of the Lock-Up Period the Company issues an earnings release
or
material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs; or (y)
prior
to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will
release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day
of
the 60-day period; the restrictions imposed in this Agreement shall continue
to
apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance
of the
earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event;
provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply if the research published
or distributed on the Company is compliant under Rule 139 of the Act and
the
Company’s securities are actively traded as defined in Rule 101(c)(1) of
Regulation M of the Exchange Act.
(g) The
Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or
that
would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result
in,
under the Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization or manipulation of the
price
of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the
Securities.

(x) In
addition, such counsel shall state as follows: Such counsel has not undertaken
to determine independently, and therefore does not assume any responsibility
explicitly or implicitly for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the
statements contained in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus
(except
to the extent set forth in paragraph (iii) above). Such counsel has participated
in conferences with officers of the Company, representatives of the
Underwriters, representatives of counsel to the Underwriters and representatives
of the Company’s independent auditors during which conferences the contents of
the Registration Statement and the Prospectus were reviewed and discussed.
Based
upon and subject to the foregoing, nothing has come to such counsel’s attention
that causes them to believe that the Registration Statement, at the time
it
became effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted
to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the
statements therein not misleading, or that the Prospectus, as of its date
or as
of the Closing Date, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material
fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make
the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading (except in each case as to the financial statements and the
notes
thereto and other financial, accounting and statistical data included or
incorporated by reference therein, as to which such counsel need make no
comment).
In
rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely (A) as to matters involving
the
application of laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York
or the
Federal laws of the United States, to the extent they deem proper and specified
in such opinion, upon the opinion of other counsel of good standing whom
they
believe to be reliable and who are satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters
and (B) as to matters of fact, to the extent they deem proper, on certificates
of responsible officers of the Company and public officials. References to
the
Prospectus in this paragraph (b) shall also include any supplements thereto
at
the respective Closing Date.
(c) The
Company shall have requested and caused Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx LLP, patent counsel
for the Company, to have furnished to the Underwriters their opinion, dated
the
Firm Shares Closing Date and any Additional Shares Closing Date and addressed
to
the Underwriters, to the effect that such counsel is familiar with the
technology used by the Company in its business and has read the portions
of the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus headed “Risk Factors - We are
dependent upon our patents and other intellectual property rights. The validity,
enforceability and commercial value of these rights are highly uncertain,” and
in the 2004 10-K under the headings “Part I - Item 1. Business - Licenses” and
“- Patents and Proprietary Technology” (collectively, the “Technology Portion”),
and that, except to the extent that the following opinions relate to the
methylnaltrexone technology and products of the Company, the ganglioside
conjugate vaccine technology and products of the Company, and the PSMA
technology and product development programs of the Company and the LLC, as
to
which such counsel provides no opinion:
19
(d) such
counsel has no knowledge of any facts that would preclude the Company from
having clear title to the Company’s patents or patent applications referenced in
the Technology Portion. To such counsel’s knowledge, the Company does not lack
and will not be unable to obtain any rights or licenses to use any patent
or
know-how necessary to conduct the business now conducted or proposed to be
conducted by the Company as described in the Prospectus, including but not
limited to the Company’s business relating to HIV receptor technology and
products (except with respect to the Columbia License Agreement and the Columbia
Licensed Patents, as to which such counsel need express no opinion). To such
counsel’s knowledge, the Company has not received any notice of infringement or
of conflict with asserted rights of others insofar as any patents, patent
applications, trademarks, trademark applications, trade names, service marks,
copyrights, copyright applications, licenses or know-how, proprietary
techniques, including processes and substances, and other similar rights
and
proprietary knowledge (except with respect to the Columbia License Agreement
and
the Columbia Licensed Patents, as to which such counsel need express no opinion)
which could result in a material adverse effect on the condition (financial
or
otherwise), prospects, earning, business or properties of the Company and
the
LLC, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary
course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus
(exclusive of any supplement thereto). Such counsel is not aware of any issued
patents of others (except with respect to the Columbia License Agreement
and the
Columbia Licensed Patents, as to which such counsel need express no opinion)
that are infringed by specific products or processes of the Company, as
described in the Prospectus, in such manner as to materially and adversely
affect the Company;
(i) to
such
counsel’s knowledge, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending
relating to trade secrets, trademarks, service marks or other proprietary
information or materials of the Company or the LLC (except with respect to
the
Columbia License Agreement and the Columbia Licensed Patents, as to which
such
counsel need express no opinion), other than review of pending applications
for
patents, and to such counsel’s knowledge no such proceedings are threatened or
contemplated by governmental authorities or others;
(ii) such
counsel does not know of any material contracts or other material documents
relating to the Company’s proprietary information (except with respect to the
Columbia License Agreement and the Columbia Licensed Patents, as to which
such
counsel need express no opinion), other than those filed as exhibits to the
Registration Statement, the 2004 10-K; and
20
(iii) the
statements in the Technology Portion (except with respect to those statements
that describe the Columbia License Agreement and the Columbia Licensed Patents,
as to which such counsel need express no opinion), insofar as such statements
constitute a summary of documents referred to therein or matters of law,
are
accurate summaries and fairly and correctly present, in all material respects,
the information called for with respect to such documents and matters, and
such
counsel has no reason to believe that the statements therein are untrue or
that
there is an omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. Such counsel may
rely
on representations of the Company with respect to the factual matters contained
in such statements, provided that such counsel shall state that nothing has
come
to the attention of such counsel that leads them to believe that such
representations are not true and correct in all material respects.
(e) The
Company shall have requested and caused Wolf, Greenfield & Sacks, P.C.,
special patent counsel for the Company, to have furnished to the Underwriters
their opinion dated the Firm Shares Closing Date and any Additional Shares
Closing Date and addressed to the Underwriters, to the effect that such counsel
is familiar with the Company’s methylnaltrexone technology and products, its
ganglioside conjugate vaccine technology and products, and its joint venture
for
the development of product candidates based on PSMA technology licensed from
Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxxx and has read the Technology Portion, and that, solely with
respect to the Company’s methylnaltrexone technology and products (“MNTX
Products”), its ganglioside conjugate vaccine technology and products (the
“Conjugate Vaccines”), and its joint venture for the development of product
candidates based on PSMA technology licensed from Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxxx:
(i) to
such
counsel’s knowledge, the Company does not lack and will not be unable to obtain
any rights or licenses to use any patent or know-how necessary to make, use,
import, offer for sale and sell the Company’s MNTX Products or Conjugate
Vaccines described in the Prospectus and as presently used by the Company
or as
proposed to be used and sold by the Company as described in the Prospectus.
To
such counsel’s knowledge, the Company has not received any notice of
infringement or of conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to
any
patents, patent applications, licenses or know-how, proprietary techniques,
including processes and substances, and other similar rights and proprietary
knowledge that could result in a material adverse effect on the condition
(financial or otherwise), prospects, earning, business or properties of the
Company and the LLC, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions
in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated
in
the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto). Such counsel is not
aware
of any patents of others that are not licensed by the Company and that are
infringed by the Company as a result of the Company’s making, using, importing,
offering for sale or selling its MNTX Products or Conjugate
Vaccines;
21
(ii) to
such
counsel’s knowledge, neither the Company nor the LLC has received any notice of
infringement or of conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to
any
patents, patent applications, licenses or know-how, proprietary techniques,
including processes and substances, and other similar rights and proprietary
knowledge in the field of using PSMA for the treatment of disease that could
result in a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise),
prospects, earning, business or properties of the Company and the LLC, taken
as
a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course
of
business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive
of
any supplement thereto);
(iii) to
such
counsel’s knowledge, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending
relating to proprietary information or materials of the Company, other than
review of pending applications for patents, and to such counsel’s knowledge no
such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities
or
others; and
(iv) the
statements in the Technology Portion, insofar as such statements constitute
a
summary of patents or of law, are accurate summaries and fairly and correctly
present, in all material respects, the information called for with respect
to
such matters and such counsel has no reason to believe that the statements
therein are untrue or that there is an omission to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not
misleading; provided, however that such counsel may rely on representations
of
the Company and the LLC with respect to the factual matters contained in
such
statements, provided
that
such counsel shall state that nothing has come to the attention of such counsel
which leads them to believe that such representations are not true and correct
in all material respects.
(f) The
Underwriters shall have received from Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx and Xxxx
LLP,
counsel for the Underwriters, such opinion or opinions, dated the Firm Shares
Closing Date and any Additional Shares Closing Date and addressed to the
Underwriters, with respect to the issuance and sale of the Securities, the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus (together with any supplement thereto)
and other related matters as the Underwriters may reasonably require, and
the
Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they request
for
the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.
(g) The
Company shall have furnished to the Underwriters a certificate of the Company,
signed by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of
the
Company, acting solely in their capacities as such, dated the Firm Shares
Closing Date and any Additional Shares Closing Date, to the effect that the
signers of such certificate have carefully examined the Registration Statement,
the Prospectus, any supplements to the Prospectus and this Agreement and
that:
22
(h) the
representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are true
and
correct on and as of the Firm Shares Closing Date or the Additional Shares
Closing Date, as the case may be, with the same effect as if made on the
Closing
Date and the Company has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all
the
conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Firm
Shares Closing Date or the Additional Shares Closing Date, as the case may
be;
(i) no
stop
order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been
issued
and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to the Company’s
knowledge, threatened;
(ii) since
the
date of the most recent financial statements included or incorporated by
reference in the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there
has
been no material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise),
prospects, results of operations, business or properties of the Company and
the
LLC, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary
course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus
(exclusive of any supplement thereto);
(iii) the
membership interest in the LLC that is held by the Company represents fifty
percent (50%) of the outstanding membership interests of the LLC:
and
(iv) except
as
set forth in the Prospectus, no options, warrant or other rights to purchase,
agreements or other obligations to issue, or rights to convert any obligations
into or exchange any securities for, shares of capital stock of or ownership
interests in the Company are outstanding.
(i) The
Company shall have requested and caused PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to have
furnished to the Underwriters, at the Execution Time and the Firm Shares
Closing
Date and any Additional Shares Closing Date, letters in accordance with
Statement on Accounting Standards No. 72, dated respectively as of the Execution
Time and as of the Firm Shares Closing Date and any Additional Shares Closing
Date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Underwriters, to the effect
that:
(i) they
are
independent registered public accountants with respect to the Company within
the
meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act and the respective applicable rules
and
regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder;
(ii) in
their
opinion, the audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and reported on by them
comply
as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements
of the Act and the Exchange Act and the related rules and regulations adopted
by
the Commission;
23
(iii) on
the
basis of procedures (but not an audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards) consisting of:
(1) reading
the minutes of the meetings of the stockholders, directors and executive
and
audit committees of the Company since December 31, 2004 as set forth in the
minute books through a specified date not more than five business days prior
to
the date of delivery of such letter;
(2)
performing the procedures specified by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants for a review of interim financial information as described
in
Statement on Auditing Standards No. 100, Interim Financial Information, on
the
unaudited interim financial statements of the Company included or incorporated
by references in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus; and
(3) making
inquiries of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for
financial and accounting matters of the Company as to transactions and events
subsequent to December 31, 2004;
nothing
came to their attention which caused them to believe that:
(a) any
unaudited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus do not comply as to form in all
material respects with applicable accounting requirements of the Act and
with
the related rules and regulations adopted by the Commission with respect
to
financial statements included or incorporated by reference in quarterly reports
on Form 10-Q under the Exchange Act;
(b) any
material modifications should be made to said unaudited financial statements
for
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied
on a basis substantially consistent with that of the audited financial
statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement
and the Prospectus;
(c) with
respect to the period subsequent to June 30, 2005, there were any changes,
at a
specified date not more than five business days prior to the date of delivery
of
such letter, in the capital stock of the Company, or increases in long-term
debt
of the Company as compared with the amounts shown on the June 30, 2005 balance
sheet included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement
and
the Prospectus, except in all instances for changes or decreases set forth
in
such letter, in which case the letter shall be accompanied by an explanation
by
the Company as to the significance thereof unless said explanation is not
deemed
necessary by the Underwriters.
24
(iv) Such
letter shall also state that they have performed certain other specified
procedures as a result of which they determined that certain information
of an
accounting, financial or statistical nature (which is limited to accounting,
financial or statistical information derived from the general accounting
records
of the Company) set forth in under the captions “Summary Financial Data,”“Risk
Factors,”“Capitalization,” and “Dilution,” in the Prospectus, the information
included or incorporated by reference in Items 1, 6, 7 and 12 of the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K, incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus, and the information included in the “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”
included or incorporated by reference in the Company’s Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2005, incorporated by reference
in
the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, agrees with the accounting
records of the Company, excluding any questions of legal interpretation.
References
to the Prospectus in this paragraph (g) include any supplement thereto at
the
date of the letter.
(j) Subsequent
to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is
given
in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof) and the
Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there shall not have been
(i)
any change or decrease specified in the letter or letters referred to in
paragraph (g) of this Section 6 or (ii) any change, or any development involving
a prospective change, in or affecting the condition (financial or otherwise),
results of operations, business or properties of the Company and the LLC,
taken
as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course
of
business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive
of
any supplement thereto) the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause
(i) or (ii) above, is, in the sole judgment of the Underwriters, so material
and
adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering
or
delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement
(exclusive of any amendment thereof) and the Prospectus (exclusive of any
supplement thereto).
(k) Prior
to
each Closing Date, the Company shall have furnished to the Underwriters such
further information, certificates and documents as the Underwriters may
reasonably request.
(l) The
Securities shall have been approved for quotation on the NASDAQ National
Market,
subject only to official notice of issuance, and reasonably satisfactory
evidence of such actions shall have been provided to the
Underwriters.
25
(m) Prior
to
Firm Shares Closing Date, the Company shall have furnished to the Underwriters
a
letter substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (or in such other form
as
approved by UBS Securities LLC and CIBC World Markets Corp.) from each current
officer and director of the Company and from Mr. Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx, II, Tudor
Investment Corporation, The Tudor BVI Portfolio Ltd., Tudor Arbitrage Partners
L.P., Tudor Proprietary Trading, L.L.C. and Tudor Global Trading LLC addressed
to the Underwriters.
If
any of
the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled
when
and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates
mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Underwriters and counsel for the
Underwriters, this Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriters hereunder
may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, any Closing Date by the
Underwriters. Notice of such cancelation shall be given to the Company in
writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing.
The
documents required to be delivered by this Section 6 shall be delivered at
the
office of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx and Xxxx LLP, counsel for the
Underwriters, at 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, on the Closing
Date.
7. Reimbursement
of Underwriters’ Expenses.
If the
sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any
condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 6 hereof
is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 10 hereof
or
because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to
perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than
by
reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, the Company will reimburse
the
Underwriters on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable
fees
and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been reasonably incurred by
them
in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the
Securities.
8. Indemnification
and Contribution.
(a) The
Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors,
officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter and each person who controls
any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act
against
any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to
which
they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or
other
Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement for
the
registration of the Securities as originally filed or in any amendment thereof,
or in any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof
or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or
alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse
each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending
any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the
Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss,
claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made
therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating
to
the Underwriters furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter
specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition
to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.
26
(b) Each
Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the
Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration
Statement, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of
either
the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity
from
the Company to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information
relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of
such
Underwriter specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the
foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any
liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges
that the statements set forth in the last paragraph of the cover page regarding
delivery of the Securities and, under the heading “Underwriting,” (i) the list
of Underwriters and their respective participation in the sale of the Securities
and (ii) the fourth, fifth, seventh, twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth
and sixteenth paragraphs, in any Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus
constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the
several Underwriters for inclusion in any Preliminary Prospectus or the
Prospectus.
(c) Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the
commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8,
notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but
the
failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from
liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did
not
otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture
by the
indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not,
in any
event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified
party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a)
or (b)
above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the
indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the
indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which
case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees
and
expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties
except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be
satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s
election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action,
the
indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including
local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees,
costs
and expenses of such separate counsel, if (i) the use of counsel chosen by
the
indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such
counsel
with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in,
or
targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded
that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified
parties which are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed
counsel
satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party
within
a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv)
the
indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate
counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will
not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle
or
compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending
or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which
indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the
indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action)
unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release
of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action,
suit or proceeding and does not include an admission of fault, culpability
or a
failure to act, by or on behalf of such indemnified party.
27
(d) In
the
event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section
8 is
unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for
any
reason, the Company and the Underwriters severally agree to contribute to
the
aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending
same)
(collectively “Losses”) to which the Company and one or more of the Underwriters
may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Underwriters
on the
other from the offering of the Securities; provided, however, that in no
case
shall any Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among
underwriters relating to the offering of the Securities) be responsible for
any
amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to
the
Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. If the allocation provided
by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the
Company
and the Underwriters severally shall contribute in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative
fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other
in
connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses
as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by
the
Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering
(before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the
Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts
and
commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus.
Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether
any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission
or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided
by the
Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the
parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to
correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the
Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
were
determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which
does
not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person
who
controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange
Act
and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter shall have
the
same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls
the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each
officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and
each
director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the
Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this
paragraph (d).
28
9. Default
by an Underwriter.
If, on
the Firm Shares Closing Date or any Additional Shares Closing Date, as the
case
may be, any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any
of
the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters
hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the
performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining
Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the
respective proportions which the amount of Securities set forth opposite
their
names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Securities set
forth
opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Securities which
the
defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided,
however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Securities which
the
defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall
exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Securities set forth in Schedule I
hereto,
the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall
not
be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such
nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement
will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter or the
Company. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this
Section 9, the Firm Shares Closing Date or any Additional Shares Closing
Date,
as the case may be, shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five
Business Days, as the Underwriters shall determine in order that the required
changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other
documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement
shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the
Company and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default
hereunder.
10. Termination.
This
Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the
Underwriters, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment
for the Securities to be purchased on a Closing Date, if at any time prior
to
such time (i) trading in the Company’s Common Stock shall have been suspended by
the Commission or the NASDAQ National Market, (ii) trading in securities
generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ National Market shall
have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established
on
such Exchange or the NASDAQ National Market, (iii) a banking moratorium shall
have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities or (iv)
there
shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration
by
the United States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis
the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole
judgment of the Underwriters, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with
the
offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Prospectus
(exclusive of any supplement thereto).
11. Representations
and Indemnities to Survive.
The
respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other
statements of the Company and its officers and of the Underwriters set forth
in
or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect,
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or
the
Company or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling
persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and
payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall
survive the termination or cancelation of this Agreement.
29
12. Notices.

in any such action, proceeding or counterclaim brought in any such court
shall
be conclusive and binding upon the Company and may be enforced in any other

suit
upon such judgment.

This

In
order
to induce you and the other Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting
Agreement, the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of
UBS
Securities LLC and CIBC World Markets Corp., offer, sell, contract to sell,
pledge or otherwise dispose of, (or enter into any transaction which is designed
to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether
by
actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement
or
otherwise) by the undersigned or any affiliate of the undersigned or any
person
in privity with the undersigned or any affiliate of the undersigned), directly
or indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in respect
of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease
a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder
with respect to, any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities

of
60 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Lock-Up Period”),
other than shares of Common Stock disposed of as a bona fide gift or to a
trust
for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned and/or the immediate
family of the undersigned, provided that the recipient of such gift or such
trust agrees to be bound by the terms of this agreement, and provided further
that you give prior written notice of any such disposition (which notice
shall
include the number of shares being disposed of and the identity of the
recipient) to UBS Securities LLC and CIBC World Markets Corp.
33
