Xxxx, a United States citizen (“Shareholder”).

WHEREAS, Shareholder is, as of the date hereof, the record and/or beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which meaning will apply for all purposes of this Agreement) of the number of shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 (the “Company Common Stock”) of Penwest Pharmaceuticals Co., a Washington corporation (the “Company”), set forth opposite the name of Shareholder on Schedule I hereto;

WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub, and the Company have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Merger Agreement”), that provides, among other things, for Merger Sub to commence a tender offer for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Offer”) and, following the completion of the Offer, the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement (capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the respective meanings specified in the Merger Agreement); and

WHEREAS, as a condition to the willingness of Parent and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement and as an inducement and in consideration therefor, Shareholder has agreed to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and in the Merger Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Representations and Warranties of Shareholder. Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as follows:

(a) Shareholder (i) is the record and/or beneficial owner of the shares of Company Common Stock (together with any shares of Company Common Stock that Shareholder may acquire at any time in the future during the term of this Agreement, the “Shares”) set forth opposite Shareholder’s name on Schedule I to this Agreement and (ii) except as set forth in Schedule I to this Agreement, neither holds nor has any beneficial ownership interest in any other shares of Company Common Stock or any performance based stock units, restricted stock, deferred stock units, option (including any granted pursuant to a Company Stock Plan), or warrants to acquire shares of Company Common Stock or other right or security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Company Common Stock other than shares owned by Tang Capital Partners, LP and 74,000 shares held by Shareholder’s in-laws.

(b) Shareholder has the legal capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) This Agreement has been validly executed and delivered by Shareholder and, assuming this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Parent and Merger Sub, constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Shareholder, enforceable against such Shareholder in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) that the availability of the remedy of specific performance or injunctive or other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and would be subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

(d) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation by Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby will result in a violation of, or a default under, or conflict with, any contract, trust, commitment, agreement, understanding, arrangement or restriction of any kind to which Shareholder is a party or by which Shareholder or Shareholder’s assets are bound. The consummation by Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) violate any provision of any Order applicable to Shareholder or (ii) require any consent, approval, or notice under any statute, law, rule or regulation applicable to Shareholder other than (x) as required under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and (y) where the failure to obtain such consents or approvals or to make such notifications, would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay the performance by Shareholder of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

(e) The Shares and the certificates, if any, representing the Shares owned by Shareholder are now, and at all times during the term hereof will be, held by Shareholder, by a nominee or custodian for the benefit of Shareholder or by the Paying Agent for the Offer, free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests, proxies, voting trusts or agreements, options, rights (other than community property interests), understandings or arrangements or any other encumbrance or restriction whatsoever on title, transfer, or exercise of any rights of a shareholder in respect of such Shares (collectively, “Encumbrances”), except for (i) any such Encumbrances arising hereunder (in connection therewith any restrictions on transfer or any other Encumbrances have been waived by appropriate consent), (ii) any rights, agreements, understandings or arrangements that represent solely a financial interest in cash received upon sale of the Shares and (iii) Encumbrances imposed by federal or state securities laws (collectively, “Permitted Encumbrances”).

(f) Shareholder understands and acknowledges that Parent is entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon Shareholder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement.

(g) No broker, investment bank, financial advisor or other person is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial adviser’s or similar fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Shareholder (except for fees payable by the Company to Bank of America as advisor to the Company).

SECTION 2. Representations and Warranties of Parent and Merger Sub. Each of Parent and Merger Sub hereby, jointly and severally, represents and warrants to Shareholder as follows:

(a) Each of Parent and Merger Sub is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and each of Parent and the Merger Sub has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Merger Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement.

(b) This Agreement and the Merger Agreement have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of Parent and Merger Sub, and constitute the valid and binding obligations of each of Parent and Merger Sub, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) the availability of the remedy of specific performance or injunctive or other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and would be subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

(c) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement by each of Parent and Merger Sub nor the consummation by Parent and Merger Sub of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby will result in a violation of, or a default under, any contract, trust, commitment, agreement, understanding, arrangement or restriction of any kind to which either Parent or Merger Sub is a party or by which either Parent or Merger Sub or their respective assets are bound. The consummation by Parent and Merger Sub of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not (i) violate any provision of any judgment, order or decree applicable to Parent or Merger Sub or (ii) require any consent, approval, order, authorization or permit of, or declaration, registration, filing with, or notification to, any Governmental Entity, except for (w) applicable requirements, if any, of (A) the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, the filing with the SEC of the Schedule TO, (B) the Washington Business Corporation Code ("WBCA") to file the Articles of Merger or other appropriate documentation and (C) Nasdaq, (x) those required by the HSR Act, (y) the filing of customary applications and notices, as applicable with any Regulatory Authority, and (z) where the failure to obtain such consents or approvals or to make such notifications, would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay the performance by either Parent or Merger Sub of any of their obligations under this Agreement and the Merger Agreement.

SECTION 3. Tender of the Shares.

(a) Unless the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Merger Sub or the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, Shareholder hereby agrees that it shall irrevocably, subject to the terms of this Agreement, tender (and deliver any certificates evidencing) its Shares, or cause its Shares to be irrevocably, subject to the terms of this Agreement, tendered, into the Offer promptly following, and in any event no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day following the commencement of the Offer pursuant to Section 1.1 of the Merger Agreement in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Offer Documents, free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances); provided, that Parent and Merger Sub agree that Shareholder may withdraw its Shares from the Offer at any time following the termination of this Agreement or as otherwise provided pursuant to this Section 3 or Section 9 hereof.

(d) If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Merger Sub, or the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the purchase of Shares in the Offer, Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly return, and shall cause any depositary or paying agent, including the Paying Agent, acting on behalf of Parent and Merger Sub, to return all tendered Shares to Shareholder.

(e) If the conditions to the Offer are satisfied or waived by Merger Sub pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Parent shall cause Merger Sub to purchase in accordance with the terms of the Offer the Shares that are tendered and not withdrawn.

SECTION 4. Transfer of the Shares; Other Actions.

(a) Prior to the termination of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein (including pursuant to Section 3 or Section 5) or in the Merger Agreement, Shareholder shall not: (i) transfer, assign, sell, gift-over, hedge, pledge or otherwise dispose (whether by sale, liquidation, dissolution, dividend or distribution) of, enter into any derivative arrangement with respect to, create or suffer to exist any Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances) on or consent to any of the foregoing (“Transfer”), any or all of the Shares or any right or interest therein; (ii) enter into any contract, option or other agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to any Transfer; (iii) grant any proxy, power-of-attorney or other authorization or consent with respect to any of the Shares with respect to any matter that is, or that is reasonably likely to be exercised in a manner, inconsistent with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the provisions thereof; (iv) deposit any of the Shares into a voting trust, or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any of the Shares; or (v) knowingly, directly or indirectly, take or cause the taking of any other action that would restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of such Shareholder’s obligations hereunder or the transactions contemplated hereby, excluding any bankruptcy filing.

(b) Shareholder agrees that it shall not, and shall cause each of his Affiliates not to, become a member of a “group” (as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act) with respect to any shares of Company Common Stock, Company Options, Company Stock Awards or any other voting securities of the Company for the purpose of opposing or competing with or taking any actions inconsistent with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, provided, however, this Section 4(b) shall not apply if (i) the Offer shall have been terminated or withdrawn by Merger Sub or the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the purchase of the Shares in the Offer or (ii) this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with Section 9.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shareholder may make (a) Transfers of Shares by will or by operation of law or other transfers for estate planning purposes, in which case any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by this Agreement prior to the consummation of any such Transfer, and (b) as Parent may otherwise agree in writing in its sole discretion.

(d) Upon receipt of payment in full for all of its Shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Shareholder agrees that any and all rights incident to his or her ownership of Shares (including any rights to recover amounts, if any, that may be determined to be due to any shareholder or former shareholder of the Company), including but not limited to rights arising out of such Shareholder’s ownership of Shares prior to the transfer of such Shares to Merger Sub or Parent pursuant to the Offer or the Merger Agreement, shall be transferred to Merger Sub and Parent upon the transfer to Merger Sub or Parent of such Shareholder’s Shares.

SECTION 5. Grant of Irrevocable Proxy; Appointment of Proxy.

(a) Without in any way limiting Shareholder’s right to vote the Shares in its sole discretion on any other matters that may be submitted to a shareholder vote, consent or other approval, unless and until this Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 9, Shareholder hereby irrevocably grants to, and appoints, Parent and any designee thereof, Shareholder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in the name, place and stead of such Shareholder, to attend any meeting of the shareholders of the Company on behalf of such Shareholder, to include such Shares in any computation for purposes of establishing a quorum at any meeting of shareholders of the Company, and to vote all Shares beneficially owned or controlled by such Shareholder (the “Vote Shares”), or to grant a consent or approval in respect of the Vote Shares, in connection with any meeting of the shareholders of the Company or any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting of shareholders of the Company (i) in favor of the Merger or any other transaction pursuant to which Parent proposes to acquire the Company, whether by tender offer or merger, in which shareholders of the Company would receive aggregate consideration per share of Company Common Stock equal to or greater than the consideration to be received by such shareholders in the Offer and the Merger and/or (ii) against (A) any action or agreement which would in any material respect impede, interfere with or prevent the Offer or the Merger, including, but not limited to, any other extraordinary corporate transaction, including, a merger, acquisition, sale, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, extraordinary dividend or liquidation involving the Company and a third party, or any other proposal of a third party to acquire the Company or all or substantially all of the assets thereof, (B) any Company Takeover Proposal and any action in furtherance of any Company Takeover Proposal and (C) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of Shareholder under this Agreement.

(c) Shareholder hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 5 is given in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, and that such irrevocable proxy is given to secure the performance of the duties of Shareholder under this Agreement. Shareholder hereby further affirms that the irrevocable proxy is coupled with an interest and, except as set forth in this Section or in Section 9 hereof, is intended to be irrevocable in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 23B.07.220 of the WBCA. If during the term of this Agreement for any reason the proxy granted herein is not irrevocable, then such Shareholder agrees that it shall vote its Shares in accordance with Section 5(a) above as instructed by Parent in writing.

SECTION 6. Company Takeover Proposals; Non-Solicitation.

EACH OF PARENT, MERGER SUB AND SHAREHOLDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF PARENT, MERGER SUB OR SHAREHOLDER IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

(g) Assignment.

Any assignment in violation of the preceding sentence shall be void. Subject to the preceding two sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

(h) Severability of Provisions. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, insofar as the foregoing can be accomplished without materially affecting the economic benefits anticipated by the parties to this Agreement. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
