ARTICLE II

EFFECT OF THE MERGERS ON CAPITAL STOCK; CONSIDERATION FOR SHARES

Section 2.01 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Mergers and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, or the Company or the holder of any capital stock of Parent, Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, or the Company:

(a) Cancellation of Certain Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by Parent or the Company (as treasury stock or otherwise) or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Cancelled Shares”) will automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(b) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Cancelled Shares and Dissenting Shares), inclusive of Company Common Stock issued upon conversion of the CHOP Note, shall be converted into the right to receive: (i) the fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (the “Stock Consideration”), (ii) one contingent value right (a “CVR”), which shall represent the right to receive a contingent payment upon the achievement of certain milestones set forth in, and subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of, the Contingent Value Rights Agreement (the “CVR Agreement”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “CVR Consideration”), and (iii) cash in lieu of

fractional shares of Parent Common Stock as contemplated by Section 2.01(e)(the “Fractional Share Consideration”).

(c) Cancellation of Shares. At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding, shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and, subject to Section 2.03, each holder of: (i) a certificate formerly representing any shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”); or (ii) any book-entry shares that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Book-Entry Share”) shall, subject to applicable Law in the case of Dissenting Shares, cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof.

(d) Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one newly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the First-Step Surviving Company.

(e) Equity Interests of Second Merger Sub. All shares of capital stock of the First-Step Surviving Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time will automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor. The equity interests of Second Merger Sub will constitute the only outstanding equity interests of the Surviving Company.

(f) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and the former holders of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall not be entitled to any voting rights, rights to receive any dividends or distributions or other rights as a holder of Parent Common Stock with respect to any such fractional shares that would have otherwise been issued upon the surrender for exchange of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock converted pursuant to the First Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional share of Parent Common Stock shall receive, in lieu thereof, a cash payment, rounded to the nearest whole cent and without interest, in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Exchange Ratio by the fraction of a share the holder would otherwise be entitled to receive.

Section 2.02 Surrender and Payment.

(a) Exchange Agent; Payment Fund. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint an exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) to act as the agent for the purpose of exchanging the Merger Consideration for: (i) the Certificates; and (ii) the Book-Entry Shares. At the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause the Surviving Company to deposit, with the Exchange Agent: (A) sufficient cash funds to pay the Fractional Share Consideration that is payable in respect of all of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by the Certificates and the Book-Entry Shares (other than: (I) shares to be cancelled and retired in accordance with Section 2.01; and (II) Dissenting Shares), in amounts and at the times necessary for such payments, and (B) evidence of book entry shares representing the number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the aggregate Stock Consideration (such shares of Parent Common Stock, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto with a record date after the Effective Time, and the Fractional Share Consideration being hereinafter referred to as the “Payment Fund”). The Exchange Agent shall, in accordance with Section 2.02(b) and pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the Merger Consideration and notify the holders of CVR Consideration contemplated to be issued pursuant to Section 2.01. If for any reason the Payment Fund is inadequate to pay the amounts to which holders of shares are

entitled under Section 2.01(a), Parent shall take all steps necessary to enable or cause the Surviving Company promptly to deposit in trust additional cash or Parent Common Stock, as applicable, with the Exchange Agent sufficient to make all payments required under this Agreement. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Surviving Company shall pay all of its charges and expenses, including those of the Exchange Agent, in connection with the exchange of shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each record holder of shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, whose Company Common Stock was converted pursuant to Section 2.01(a) into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent, and which letter of transmittal shall be in customary form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Surviving Company may reasonably specify) for use in such exchange.

(b) Procedures for Surrender; No Interest. Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of the Company Common Stock represented by a Certificate or Book-Entry Share upon: (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Exchange Agent, in the case of Company Common Stock represented by a Certificate; or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of Book-Entry Shares. Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, and subject to the terms set forth in Section 2.03, each such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof. No interest shall be paid or accrued on the cash payable upon the surrender or transfer of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share. Upon payment of the Share Consideration and Fractional Share Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE II, each Certificate or Certificates or Book-Entry Share or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, shall immediately be cancelled. As soon as practicable (and in any event within 15 Business Days) following the Closing Date, the Exchange Agent shall provide Parent with a list of the names and addresses of all holders of CVR Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE II. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payment of any consideration pursuant to any CVR Consideration and the payment procedures with respect thereto shall be governed by the terms of the CVR Agreement.

(c) Investment of Payment Fund. Until disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the cash in the Payment Fund shall be invested by the Exchange Agent, as directed by Parent or the Surviving Company, in obligations of the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States with a maturity of no more than 30 days. No losses with respect to any investments of the Payment Fund shall affect the amounts payable to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. Any income from investment of the Payment Fund shall be payable to Parent or the Surviving Company, as Parent directs.

(d) Payments to Non-Registered Holders. If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Book-Entry Share, as applicable, is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that: (i) such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Share shall be properly transferred; and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Tax required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such

Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(e) Full Satisfaction. All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates or transfer of Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, and from and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock on the stock transfer books of the First-Step Surviving Company. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Company (other than a Certificate for a Book-Entry Share in respect of Dissenting Shares), they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this ARTICLE II.

(f) Termination of Payment Fund. Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock one year after the Effective Time, as to the Fractional Share Consideration shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.02 prior to such time shall thereafter look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) for delivery of the Merger Consideration, without interest and subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law, in respect of such holder’s surrender of their Certificates or Book-Entry Shares and compliance with the procedures in Section 2.02(b). Any Merger Consideration remaining unclaimed by the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Entity will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent or an affiliate thereof designated by Parent, free and clear of any claim or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, the Surviving Company, the Exchange Agent or their respective affiliates will be liable to any holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares for Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.02(a), to pay for Company Common Stock for which appraisal rights have been perfected shall be returned to Parent, upon demand.

(g) Dissenting Shares Merger Consideration. Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent in respect of any Dissenting Shares shall be returned to Parent, upon demand.

(h) Dividend and Distribution with Respect to Parent Common Stock After the Effective Time. No dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Certificate surrendered and not yet exchanged hereunder with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock represented thereby, and no Fractional Share Consideration shall be paid to any such holder, and all such dividends, other distributions and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be paid by the Parent to the Exchange Agent and shall be included in the Exchange Fund, in each case until the surrender of such Certificate in accordance with this Article II with respect to the unsurrendered Certificates and until payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to the Certificates validly surrendered. Subject to the effect of applicable escheat or similar laws, following surrender of any such Certificate there shall be paid to the holder of the certificate representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock,

and the amount of any Fractional Share Consideration payable in lieu of a fractional share of Parent Common Stock and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and with a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

Section 2.03 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 2.01, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares cancelled and retired in accordance with Section 2.01) and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing, and who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”), shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for a right to receive the Merger Consideration as specified in Section 2.01(a) (such shares of Company Common Stock being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares”), but instead such holder after the Effective Time shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 262. At the Effective Time, all Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding, shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262, or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares under Section 262 shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted at the Effective Time into, and shall have become, the right to receive the Merger Consideration upon compliance with the procedure outlined in Section 2.02.

(b) The Company shall give prompt written notice to Parent of any demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock and any withdrawals of such demands, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle, or offer or agree to settle, any such demand for payment.

Section 2.04 Adjustments. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company shall occur (other than the issuance of additional shares of capital stock of the Company as permitted by this Agreement), including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split), or combination, exchange, readjustment of shares, or similar transaction, or any stock dividend or distribution paid in stock, the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change; provided, however, that this sentence shall not be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.05 Withholding Rights. Each of the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub and the Surviving Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement or the CVR Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any Tax Laws. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity by the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub or the Surviving Company, as the case

may be, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 2.06 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen, or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate as contemplated under this ARTICLE II.

Section 2.07 Treatment of Company Options.

(a) Company Options. At or prior to the Effective Time, all Company Options that are outstanding under the Company Stock Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Mergers, automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration or payment shall be delivered in exchange therefor or in respect thereof.

(b) Resolutions and Other Company Actions. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the Company Board, and the compensation committee of such board, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions (including obtaining any employee consents) that may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 2.07.

Section 2.08 Treatment of CHOP Note. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cause the CHOP Note to convert into Company Common Stock in accordance with the existing terms thereof. The holder of the CHOP Note shall thereafter be treated as a holder of Company Common Stock.

Section 2.09 Treatment of CHOP Agreements. Effective upon the Closing of the Mergers Parent shall assume the CHOP Agreements and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate with CHOP the terms of amended and restated CHOP Agreements to be given effect following the Closing of the Mergers.

Section 2.10 Tax Treatment. The Mergers are intended to be treated as integrated steps in a single transaction and together qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code, and this Agreement is intended to constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3. Each of the parties hereto adopts this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the Treasury Regulations. Each party hereto agrees to cause all income Tax Returns relating to the Mergers to be filed on the basis of treating the Mergers as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code (including filing the statement required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3), unless otherwise required by a “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or similar or analogous provisions of other applicable state or other Laws) or pursuant to a good-faith opinion from its professional tax advisers that such position is more likely than not to be an inappropriate treatment, and will not knowingly take any action, allow any action to be taken or fail to take any action, outside of the actions permitted under this Agreement, that could reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Mergers from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the Company Board may effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, after the date of this Agreement but prior to the receipt of the Requisite Company Vote, if: (i) prior to effecting the Company Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company Board determines in good faith, after consulting with outside legal counsel and its Company Financial Advisor, that the failure to effect such Company Adverse Recommendation Change, would be reasonably likely to result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (ii) the Company Board shall notify Parent, in writing, at least five Business Days before taking such action of its intention to take such action and a reasonable description of the event or circumstances giving rise to its determination and (iii) at the end of such notice period, the Company Board takes into account any amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by Parent and determines in good faith, after consulting with outside legal counsel and its Company Financial Advisor, that the failure to effect such Company Adverse Recommendation Change, would, nevertheless, be reasonably likely to result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.
