THE MERGER
Section 3.01 Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement, at the Merger Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company in
accordance with the DGCL and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease.
The Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (sometimes hereinafter referred to as
the “Surviving Corporation”), and the separate corporate existence of the Company with all
its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises shall continue unaffected by the Merger.
At the Merger Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the
Certificate of Merger and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Merger Effective Time, all of the property, rights,
privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving
Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the
debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.
Section 3.02 Charter and Bylaws. (a) At the Merger Effective Time, the Company
Charter shall be amended so as to contain the provisions, and only the provisions, contained
immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time in the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub,
except for Article FIRST of the Company Charter, which shall read “The name of the corporation is
Javelin Pharmaceuticals, Inc.” As so amended, such Company Charter shall be the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter further amended as provided therein or
by applicable Law.
(b) At the Merger Effective Time, the Bylaws of Merger Sub in effect immediately prior to the
Merger Effective Time shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation (except that the name of the
Surviving Corporation shall be Javelin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. until thereafter amended as provided
therein or by applicable Law).
Section 3.03 Effective Time of the Merger. Subject to the provisions of this
Agreement, as soon as practicable on the Closing Date, the Company and Merger Sub shall file a
certificate of merger as contemplated by the DGCL (the “Certificate of Merger”), together
with any required related certificates, filings or
recordings, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, in such form as required by,
and executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of, the DGCL. The Merger shall become
effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware or at such later date and time as the Company and Parent may agree upon and as is set
forth in such Certificate of Merger (such time, the “Merger Effective Time”).
13
Section 3.04 Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance
with Section 10.01, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall occur as
promptly as practicable (but in no event later than the third (3rd) Business Day) after all of the
conditions set forth in Article IX (other than conditions which by their terms are required
to be satisfied or waived at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such
conditions) shall have been satisfied or waived by the party entitled to the benefit of the same,
or at such other time and on a date as agreed to by the parties (the “Closing Date”). The
Closing shall take place at the offices of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C., or
at such other place as agreed to by the parties hereto.
Section 3.05 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the
Merger Effective Time, the directors and officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Merger
Effective Time shall be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, respectively,
until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, or until the earlier
of their death, resignation or removal.
Section 3.06 Directors of Parent. Conditioned upon the occurrence of the Merger
Effective Time, the Company shall be entitled to designate up to two (2) directors on the Parent
Board. Immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, Parent shall take all necessary action so
that, as of the Merger Effective Time, the two (2) individuals designated by a majority of the
Company Board will be appointed to the Parent Board, subject in each case to the independence
requirements and any other qualification requirements of directors set forth in the applicable
Marketplace Rules of the NASDAQ Global Market.
ARTICLE IV
EFFECTS OF THE MERGER
Section 4.01 Effects of the Merger on Company Securities. At the Merger Effective
Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company or the holders of
any capital stock of the Company (other than any requisite approval of the Merger by the Company
Stockholders in accordance with the DGCL):
(a) Each share of Company Common Stock held in treasury and each share of Company Common Stock
that is owned by Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall be
cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, without any conversion thereof and no payment or
distribution shall be made with respect thereto.
(b) Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger
Effective Time (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.01(a)), shall be converted and
exchanged automatically into the right to receive:
(i) 0.2820 shares of Parent Common Stock, payable to the holder thereof in
accordance with Section 4.05, and
14
(ii) A number of additional shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Milestone
Shares”), upon FDA Approval of Dyloject (the “Dyloject Approval”)
calculated as follows:
A. | If the Dyloject Approval occurs on or prior to June 30, 2010, 0.0491 shares of Parent Common Stock; or | ||
B. | If the Dyloject Approval occurs after June 30, 2010, but on or prior to January 31, 2011, 0.0246 shares of Parent Common Stock; or | ||
C. | If the Dyloject Approval occurs after January 31, 2011, but on or prior to June 30, 2011, 0.0123 shares of Parent Common Stock. |
The shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 4.01(b)(i) are collectively
referred to as the “Closing Merger Consideration.” The right to receive Milestone Shares
shall not be assignable or transferable, except by operation of law or the laws of descent and
distribution. The securities issuable pursuant to this Section 4.01(b), including the
Closing Merger Consideration and the Milestone Shares, if any, are collectively referred to as the
“Merger Consideration.” The shares of Company Common Stock whether in the form of a
certificate (a “Company Common Share Certificate”) or book-entry share (a “Book-Entry
Share”) that are to be so converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration are
referred to herein as the “Merger Shares”. From and after the Merger Effective Time, all
such Merger Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired
and shall cease to exist, and each holder of any Merger Shares shall cease to have any rights with
respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor, without interest
thereon, upon the surrender of such Merger Shares in accordance with Section 4.05.
(c) No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger,
and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued. Any holder of Company
Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of Parent Common Stock
(after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder) shall, in
lieu of such fraction of a share and upon surrender of such holder’s Merger Shares be paid in cash
the dollar amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, determined by multiplying
such fraction by the closing
price of a share of Parent Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Market on the date the Merger
becomes effective (with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock issued pursuant to Section
4.01(b)(i)), or on the Business Day immediately prior to the day shares of Company Common Stock
are issued pursuant to Section 4.01(b)(ii).
(d) Each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Merger Effective Time shall be converted into one share of common stock of the Surviving
Corporation.
15
Section 4.02 Treatment of Company Stock Options.
(a) Prior to the Merger Effective Time, the Company shall take commercially reasonable actions
to provide that each Company Stock Option then outstanding under the Company Stock Plans, as well
as any arrangement for the issuance of Company Stock Options not covered by the Company Stock
Plans, shall be of no further force or effect as of the Merger Effective Time (either because such
Company Stock Option shall have been exercised prior to the Merger Effective Time or shall have
been otherwise canceled and terminated (without regard to the exercise price of the Company Stock
Options) as of or prior to the Merger Effective Time).
(b) Prior to the Merger Effective Time, the Company shall take commercially reasonable actions
to provide holders of Company Stock Options with written notice that (i) options vested and
exercisable as of the date of such notice (or that otherwise vest and become exercisable by their
terms as a result of the Merger) may be exercised by the holders of such Company Stock Options
within a specified number of calendar days from the date of such notice, which period shall expire
prior to the Merger Effective Time and (ii) at the end of the such period, the Company Stock
Options shall be canceled and terminated.
(c) Prior to the Merger Effective Time, all of the Company Stock Plans effective at or prior
to the Merger Effective Time shall be terminated and of no further force or effect.
(d) Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall take commercially reasonable actions to
ensure that the Company will not, at the Merger Effective Time, be bound by any options, stock
appreciation rights, or other rights or agreements which would entitle any Person, other than
Parent and its Subsidiaries, to own any capital stock of the Surviving Corporation or to receive
any payment in respect thereof.
(e) The Company and Parent shall each take commercially reasonable actions to cause all
dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including Company Stock Options) or acquisitions
of equity securities of Parent (including any options to acquire Parent Common Stock that may be
granted by Parent) by each individual who (i) is a director or officer of the Company, or (ii) at
the Merger Effective Time will become a director or officer of Parent, to be exempt pursuant to
Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.
Section 4.03 Treatment of Company Stock Purchase Plan; Company Warrants and Restricted
Shares.
(a) The Company shall take any and all actions with respect to the Company’s 2007 Employee
Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) as are necessary to provide that: (i) with respect to the
Offering Period (as defined in the ESPP) in effect as of the date hereof, no employee who is not a
participant in the ESPP as of the date hereof may become after the date hereof a participant in the
ESPP and no participant in the ESPP may increase the percentage amount of his or her payroll
deduction election from that in effect on the date hereof for such Offering Period; (ii) subject to
consummation of the Merger, the ESPP shall terminate, effective
16
immediately before the Merger
Effective Time (the “ESPP Termination Date”); and (iii) if the Offering Period (as defined
in the ESPP) in effect as of the date hereof terminates prior to the ESPP Termination Date, the
ESPP shall be suspended and no new Offering Period will be commenced under the ESPP unless this
Agreement shall have terminated prior to the consummation of the Merger. If such Offering Period
is still in effect on the ESPP Termination Date, then on the ESPP Termination Date, each purchase
right under the ESPP as of the ESPP Termination Date shall be automatically exercised by applying
the payroll deductions of each participant in the ESPP for such Offering Period to the purchase of
a number of whole shares of Company Common Stock (subject to the provisions of the ESPP regarding
the number of shares purchasable) at an exercise price per share determined pursuant to the terms
of the ESPP using the ESPP Termination Date as the Purchase Date (as defined in the ESPP), which
number of shares will then be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger
Consideration in accordance with Section 4.01(b) hereof. Any excess payroll deductions not
used as a result of ESPP share limitations shall be distributed to each participant without
interest. If a fractional number of shares of Company Common Stock results, then such number shall
be rounded down to the next whole number, and the excess payroll deductions shall be distributed to
the applicable participant without interest.
(b) Parent agrees that at the Merger Effective Time, each outstanding and unexercised Company
Warrant will be assumed by Parent. Each such outstanding Company Warrant so assumed by Parent
under this Agreement will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set
forth in such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, except that such
Company Warrants shall be exercisable for shares of Parent Common Stock, with the numbers of shares
purchasable and exercise price adjusted as set forth in such assumed Company Warrants. From and
after the Merger Effective Time, unless the context requires otherwise, all references to the
Company in the Company Warrants shall be deemed to refer to Parent. Parent shall, on or prior to
the Merger Effective Time, reserve for issuance the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that
will become subject to the assumed Company Warrants pursuant to this Section 4.03(b).
(c) Any share of, or any right to a share of, Company Common Stock held by any participant in
or under any Company Stock Plan that is, prior to the Merger Effective Time, unvested or otherwise
restricted or deferred (if any) shall, immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, become
vested and in the case of any such right the shares of Company Common Stock to be paid thereunder
shall be distributed prior to the Merger Effective Time, and thereafter such unrestricted shares of
Company Common Stock shall be treated in the manner described in Section 4.01(b) above.
Section 4.04 Effects of the Merger on Merger Sub Securities. At the Merger Effective
Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action by Merger Sub or Parent, as the holder of all
outstanding capital stock of Merger Sub (other than the requisite approval by the sole stockholder
of Merger Sub in accordance with the DGCL, which approval has been obtained), each outstanding
share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately
17
prior to the Merger
Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common
stock of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so
converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of the Surviving Corporation.
Section 4.05 Payment of Merger Consideration; Stock Transfer Books.
(a) Prior to the Merger Effective Time, Parent shall appoint as exchange agent a bank or trust
company reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”). At or prior to the
Merger Effective Time, Parent shall deposit or cause the Surviving Corporation to deposit with the
Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Merger Shares, sufficient shares of Parent Common
Stock to satisfy the aggregate Closing Merger Consideration and sufficient cash to satisfy payments
for fractional shares, and at or prior to the Dyloject Approval, Parent or the Surviving
Corporation shall cause the Escrow Agent to deposit with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the
holders of Merger Shares, sufficient shares of Parent Common Stock to satisfy the Merger
Consideration due and payable pursuant to Section 4.01(b)(ii), if any, together with
sufficient cash to satisfy payments for fractional shares, (such amounts being hereinafter referred
to as the “Surviving Corporation Fund”). The fees and expenses of the Exchange Agent shall
be paid by Parent.
(b) As promptly as practicable after the Merger Effective Time, but in no event more than
three (3) Business Days following the Merger Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation
shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each person who was, as of immediately prior to the
Merger Effective Time, a holder of record of the Merger Shares (i) a letter of transmittal (which
shall be in customary form and shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and
title to the Merger Shares shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Merger Shares to the
Exchange Agent) and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Merger Shares in exchange
for the Merger Consideration.
(c) Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of Merger Shares for cancellation, together with such
letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions
thereto, the holder of such Merger Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (x) (i)
a certificate representing that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock into which the shares
of Company Common Stock theretofore represented by the Merger Shares so surrendered shall have been
converted pursuant to Section 4.01(b)(i), (ii) if, and only if, Dyloject Approval is
obtained, a certificate representing that additional number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock
to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 4.01(b)(ii), if any, and (y) a check
in the amount of any cash for fractional shares of Company Common Stock due pursuant to Section
4.01(c) and any cash owing under Section 4.08. The Merger Shares so surrendered shall
forthwith be cancelled. The Exchange Agent shall accept such Merger Shares
upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to
effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices.
(d) In the event of a transfer of ownership of Merger Shares that is not registered in the
transfer records of the Company, payment of the Merger Consideration in
18
respect of the applicable
Merger Shares may be made to a person other than the person in whose name the Merger Shares so
surrendered is registered if such Merger Shares shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in
proper form for transfer and the person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other
taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration in respect thereof or establish
to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such tax has been paid or is not
applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 4.05, each Merger Share shall
be deemed at all times after the Merger Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon
such surrender or transfer the Merger Consideration, subject to Section 4.08 hereof. No
interest shall be paid or will accrue on any cash payable to holders of Merger Shares pursuant to
the provisions of this Article IV.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any portion of the Merger
Consideration remaining unclaimed five years after the Merger Effective Time (or such earlier date
immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of,
any Governmental Authority) shall, to the extent permitted by law, become the property of Parent
free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto. None of
Parent, the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of Merger
Shares for any such shares (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto), or cash delivered
to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.
(f) Any portion of the Surviving Corporation Fund made available to the Exchange Agent
pursuant to Section 4.05(a) to pay for shares of Company Common Stock for which appraisal
rights have been perfected shall be returned to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, upon demand by
Parent.
(g) If any Company Common Share Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon
the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Company Common Share
Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall pay in respect of Merger
Shares to which such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Common Share Certificate relate the Merger
Consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled.
(h) At the Merger Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and
there shall be no further registration of transfers of Merger Shares thereafter on the records of
the Company. From and after the Merger Effective Time, the holders of Merger Shares shall cease to
have any rights with respect to such shares, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the
certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, or by applicable Law.
Section 4.06 Withholding Rights. The Company, the Surviving Corporation or the
Exchange Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration
otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock or
Company Stock Options or such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with
respect to the making of such payment under the Code, and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that
amounts are so withheld by the Company, the Surviving Corporation, or the Exchange Agent, as
19
applicable, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having
been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock or Company Stock Options in respect
of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the
Exchange Agent, as applicable.
Section 4.07 Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. In the event that, notwithstanding
Section 7.01(d), the Company changes (or establishes a record date for changing) the number
of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Merger Effective Time as a
result of a stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split,
consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or similar transaction with respect to
shares of the Company Common Stock, at any time during the period from the date hereof to the
Merger Effective Time, then the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted, taking into
account the record and payment or effective dates, as the case may be, for such transaction. In
the event that, notwithstanding Section 7.02(d), Parent changes (or establishes a record
date for changing) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issued and outstanding after the
date hereof as a result of a stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend,
reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or similar
transaction with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock, then the Merger Consideration shall be
appropriately adjusted, taking into account the record and payment or effective dates, as the case
may be, for such transaction.
Section 4.08 Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividend or other
distribution declared with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the date during
which the Merger Effective Time occurs shall be paid to holders of unsurrendered Merger Shares or
holders who comply with the provisions of Section 4.05(g) (with regard to lost
certificates) until such holders surrender such Merger Shares or submit an affidavit in accordance
with Section 4.05(g). Upon the surrender of such Merger Shares or submission of an
affidavit in accordance with Section 4.05, there shall be paid to such holders, promptly
after such surrender or submission, as the case may be, the amount of dividends or other
distributions, without interest, declared with a record date after the date during which the Merger
Effective Time occurs and not paid because of the failure to surrender such Merger Shares for
exchange.
Section 4.09 Escrow Arrangement. Immediately following the Merger Effective Time,
Parent shall deposit a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the maximum number of
shares that could be issued pursuant to the Milestone Shares set forth in Section
4.01(b)(ii) with American Stock Transfer and Trust Company (the “Escrow Agent”) to be
held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms hereof and of the escrow agreement, in

ARTICLE V
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY
The disclosure in any section or subsection of the disclosure schedule provided by the Company
to Parent on the date hereof (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”) shall qualify other
sections and subsections in this Article V only to the extent that disclosure in one
subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedule is specifically referred to in another subsection of
the Company Disclosure Schedule by appropriate cross-reference or except to the extent that the
relevance of a disclosure in one subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedule to another
subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedule is reasonably apparent. Except as set forth in the
Company Disclosure Schedule or as disclosed in any Company SEC Report filed or furnished since
January 1, 2009 and only as and to the extent disclosed therein (other than disclosures in the
“Risk Factors” sections of any such reports or other cautionary or forward-looking disclosure
contained therein), the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Buyer Parties as follows:
Section 5.01 Organization and Qualification; Authority.
(a) The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company (i) is duly qualified or licensed to do business as
a foreign corporation and is in good standing under the laws of any other jurisdiction in which the
character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it therein or in which the transaction of
its business makes such qualification or licensing necessary and (ii) has the requisite corporate
power and authority to own, operate and lease its properties and carry on its business as now
conducted, except where the failure to be so qualified, licensed or in good standing or have such
corporate power and authority would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) The Company has made available to Parent copies of the Company Charter and Company Bylaws
and all such documents are in full force and effect and no dissolution, revocation or forfeiture
proceedings regarding the Company have been commenced. The Company is not in violation of the
Company Charter and Company Bylaws in any material respect.
Section 5.02 Company Subsidiaries.
(a) Each of the Company’s “significant Subsidiaries”, as such term is defined in Regulation
S-X promulgated by the SEC (the “Company Subsidiaries”), together with the jurisdiction of
organization of each Company Subsidiary is set forth on Section 5.02(a) of the Company
Disclosure Schedule. Each Company Subsidiary is a corporation, partnership, limited liability
company, trust or other organization duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and, to the
extent applicable, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or
organization, except where the failure to be so incorporated, organized, validly existing or in
good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected
21
to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
Each of the Company Subsidiaries has the requisite corporate, limited partnership, limited
liability company or similar power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to
carry on its business as it is now being conducted, except where the failure to have such power and
authority would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Each of the Company Subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed to do business, and
is, (to the extent applicable) in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of the
properties owned, leased or operated by it or the conduct or nature of its business makes such
qualification or licensing necessary, except for jurisdictions in which the failure to be so
qualified, licensed or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) The Company is, directly or indirectly, the record and beneficial owner of all of the
outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity interests of each of the Company Subsidiaries.
All of such shares and other equity interests so owned by the Company are validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable and are owned by it free and clear of any Liens, other than restrictions
imposed by applicable Law.
(c) None of the Company Subsidiaries are required to file any forms, reports or other
documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

understandings with respect to the voting of any such shares or which restrict the transfer of any
such shares.
(d) All outstanding shares of Company Common Stock are, and all shares which may be issued
pursuant to the Company Stock Plans, the Company Stock Options and the Company Warrants will be, if

under the Securities Act, except for such rights as have been satisfied, or which otherwise relate
to the registration of any securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(h) Other than the Voting Agreements, there are no voting trusts, proxies or other agreements,
commitments or understandings to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge
of the Company, any of the stockholders of the Company, is a
23
party or by which any of them is bound with respect to the issuance, holding, acquisition, voting
or disposition of any shares of capital stock or other security or equity interest of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries.

and has the right to use, all Intellectual Property necessary to conduct its respective business as
presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted (including the future sale of products
currently under clinical development) (collectively, the “Company Intellectual Property”)
the absence of which would reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company

covered by
31
the applicable registration or application. Section 5.15(b) of the Company
Disclosure Schedule identifies and provides a brief description of any unregistered trademarks or

such Company Registered Intellectual Property and, further, that all necessary documents and
certificates with respect to such Company Registered Intellectual Property have been filed with the
relevant Governmental Authorities.

or any of its Subsidiaries is a party and pursuant to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries

of or owned by third parties (the “Third Party Intellectual Property”), the breach of which
would reasonably be likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(f) To the Company’s knowledge, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has been named
as a defendant in any suit, action or proceeding which involves a claim of infringement or
misappropriation of any Third Party Intellectual Property. Except as set forth in Section

received any actual notice or other actual communication (in writing or otherwise): (i) of any
actual or alleged infringement, misappropriation or unlawful or unauthorized use of any Third Party
Intellectual Property; or (ii) offering to license the Company any such rights. To the Company’s
knowledge, and subject to Section 5.15(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the business of the
Company and its Subsidiaries, as currently conducted and proposed to be conducted (including the
future commercialization of products currently
32
under development), does not and would not infringe,
violate, or constitute a misappropriation of any valid Third Party Intellectual Property.

the knowledge of the Company, complies with applicable Drug or Health Laws, including current good
manufacturing practices.

being conducted by the FDA or any similar Governmental Authority, nor has it received any notice
from the FDA, the MHRA or any similar Governmental Authority that it has commenced, or threatened

Product, place sales or marketing restrictions on or request the recall of any Company Product.
(f) No regulatory submission to the FDA or any other Governmental Authority that was, or is,
intended to be the basis for an approval of any Company Product contains any material omission or
false information. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, each regulatory submission (and related
documents and information) has been submitted and maintained in compliance with applicable
statutes, rules and regulations.

applicable Law with respect to the Company or any Company Subsidiaries or any of its or their

consistently applied, in its financial statements for the payment of all material Taxes for which
the Company or any Company Subsidiaries may be liable for the periods covered thereby that were not

interest, and royalties and similar income earned by nonresident aliens and foreign corporations).
(e) Except as would not have, or would not reasonably be expected to result in, a Material
Adverse Effect, there is no obligation of the Company or any Company Subsidiaries to contribute to
the payment of any Tax or any portion of a Tax (or any amount calculated with reference to any
portion of a Tax) of any Person other than the Company or the Company Subsidiaries under Treasury

Subsidiaries (i) are in a good state of maintenance and repair, free from material defects and in

except as listed on Section 5.21(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, none of the Company
or the Company Subsidiaries is a party to or bound by any Contract: (i) that would be required to
be filed by the Company as a “material contract” pursuant to Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K
under the Securities Act; (ii) containing covenants binding upon the Company or the Company
Subsidiaries that materially restrict the ability of the
Company or the Company Subsidiaries (or which, following the consummation of the Merger, would
materially restrict the ability of the Surviving Corporation) to compete in any business or
geographic area that is material to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as
of the date hereof, except for any such Contract that may be canceled without penalty by the
Company or the Company Subsidiaries upon notice of sixty (60) days or less; or (iii) that would
prevent, materially delay or materially impede the Company’s ability to consummate the Merger or
the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each such Contract described in clauses (i)
through (iii) is referred to herein as a “Company Material Contract.”

force and effect as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. There is no default under any Company Material Contract by the Company or
the Company Subsidiaries and no event has occurred that with the lapse of time or the giving of

reported.

moratorium, fraudulent transfer and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting
creditors’ rights or by general equity principles.

under or result in any violation or breach of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with or
without notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default) under, or give rise to any right

notification to, any Governmental Authority, except (i) for (A) applicable requirements, if any, of
the Exchange Act, (B) the pre-merger notification requirements of the HSR Act, (C) compliance with
the Antitrust Laws in the jurisdictions listed in Section 5.05(b) of the Company Disclosure
Schedule, and (D) any filings required under the rules and regulations of NASDAQ, (E) the filing of
the Certificate of Merger pursuant to the DGCL, (F) the filing of customary applications and
notices with the FDA, EMEA and MHRA, and (G) any registration, filing or notification required
pursuant to state securities or blue sky laws and (ii) where the failure to obtain such consents,
approvals, authorizations or permits, or to make such filings or notifications, would not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.
Section 6.06 Permits; Parent Products.
(a) Parent is in possession of all Permits, including without limitation all such Permits
required by the FDA, necessary for it to own, lease and operate its properties or to carry on their
business as it is now being conducted. All such Permits are valid and in full force and
42
effect,
Parent has satisfied all of the material requirements of and fulfilled and performed all of its
material obligations with respect to such Permits, and, to Parent’s knowledge, no event has
occurred that allows, or after notice or lapse of time would allow, revocation or termination
thereof or results in any other impairment of the rights of the holder of any such Permits, except
for any of the foregoing that would not reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material
Adverse Effect.
(b) Parent is not the subject of any administrative, civil or criminal action or, to Parent’s
knowledge, investigation alleging violations of any Law of any health care program funded by any
Governmental Authority nor are there any reasonable grounds to anticipate the commencement of any
such action or investigation. Neither Parent nor any Parent Product is currently subject to any
outstanding investigation or audit (except for routine periodic audits conducted pursuant to
regulatory or contractual requirements in the ordinary course of business) by any Governmental
Authority involving alleged noncompliance with any Law of any health care program funded by any
Governmental Authority and, to the knowledge of Parent, there are no grounds to reasonably
anticipate any such investigation or audit in the foreseeable future.
(c) Neither Parent, nor to the knowledge of Parent, any agent, representative or contractor of
Parent, has knowingly or willfully solicited, received, paid or offered to pay any remuneration,
directly or indirectly, overtly or covertly, in cash or kind in return for the purchasing or

applicable anti-kickback law, including without limitation the Anti-Kickback Statute, or any
applicable state anti-kickback law.

whole, and has not received written notice or claims of such a breach or default, nor, to the
knowledge of Parent, is any other party to any such contracts in breach or default thereunder,
except in each case in such a manner as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. Each Contract to which Parent or any of its
Subsidiaries is a party or by which it is bound, which is material to Parent and its Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole, and that has not expired or terminated by its terms is valid and in full force
and effect, binding upon Parent or such Subsidiary in accordance with its terms, and, to the
knowledge of Parent, binding upon the other parties thereto in accordance with its terms, except
where such failure to be valid and binding or to be in full force and effect as would not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.
There is no default under any such Contract by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries and no event has
occurred that with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute a default
thereunder by the
43
Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case except as would not, individually

December 31, 2007 (the forms, documents, statements and reports filed with the SEC since
December 31, 2007, including any amendments thereto, the “Parent SEC Reports”). As of
their respective dates, or, if amended or superseded by a subsequent filing, as of the date of the

be, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except to the extent that the information
in such Parent SEC Report has been amended or superseded by a later Parent SEC Report filed prior

consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Parent and its
consolidated Subsidiaries as of the respective dates thereof and for the respective periods

Parent Material Adverse Effect.

including the Parent Stock Plans, collectively, “Parent Plans”).

contributions, premiums and other payments required to be made with respect to each Parent Plan

respect to its formal qualification, except for such matters as to which the period for seeking
such a letter has not yet passed, and no fact or event has occurred since the date of such
determination or opinion letter or letters to adversely affect the qualified status of any such
Parent Plan or the exempt status of any related trust.
(h) Except as set forth in Section 6.10(h) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, none of
the Parent Plans in effect immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time would result in the
failure of any amount to be deductible by reason of Section 280G of the Code.
(i) Each Parent Plan, to the extent applicable, is in compliance with Section 409A of the
Code, taking into account all applicable exemptions under the regulations issued under Section 409A

Section 422 of the Code) on the date of grant. The exercise price of any Parent Stock Option has
not been reduced since its date of grant other than in connection with a transaction meeting the
requirements of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D).

Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining agreement, work council

(b) Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Parent Material Adverse Effect, the Parent is currently in compliance with all Law relating to
employment, including those related to wages, hours, collective bargaining and the payment and

treat himself as redundant or otherwise dismissed or released from any obligation.

right to use, all Intellectual Property necessary to conduct its respective business as presently
conducted and as proposed to be conducted (including the future sale of products currently under
clinical development) (collectively, the “Parent Intellectual Property”) the absence of
which would reasonably be likely to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. The Parent and its
Subsidiaries have sufficient right and license under the Parent Intellectual Property to
exclusively commercialize the Parent Products in each jurisdiction in which Parent or the Parent
Subsidiaries markets or proposes to market such Parent Products.

the applicable registration or application. Section 6.12(b) of the Parent Disclosure
Schedule identifies and provides a brief description of any unregistered trademarks or inventions
(whether patentable or not) comprising Parent Intellectual Property as of the date hereof: (a) for
which an application has not been filed with any Governmental Authority; and (b) the absence of
which is likely to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed in Section

certificates with respect to such Parent Registered Intellectual Property have been filed with the
relevant Governmental Authorities.
48
(e) Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is, or will as a result of the consummation of
the Merger or other transactions contemplated by this Agreement be, in breach in any material
respect of any license, sublicense or other agreement relating to the Parent Intellectual Property,
or any licenses, sublicenses and other agreements as to which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries
is a party and pursuant to which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries uses any patents, copyrights

(the “Third Party Intellectual Property”), the breach of which would reasonably be likely
to result in a Parent Material Adverse Effect.
(f) To Parent’s knowledge, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has been named as a
defendant in any suit, action or proceeding which involves a claim of infringement or
misappropriation of any Third Party Intellectual Property. Except as set forth in Section
6.12(f) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has
received any actual notice or other actual communication (in writing or otherwise): (i) of any
actual or alleged infringement, misappropriation or unlawful or unauthorized use of any Third Party

proposed to be conducted (including the future commercialization of products currently under
development)
does not infringe, violate, or constitute a misappropriation of any Third Party Intellectual
Property.
(g) To the knowledge of Parent, and except as set forth in Section 6.12(g) of the
Parent Disclosure Schedule, no other Person is infringing, misappropriating or making any unlawful
or unauthorized use of any Parent Intellectual Property.

being developed by Parent.
(c) Parent contracts the manufacturing of Parent Products to a third party that, to the
knowledge of Parent, complies with applicable Drug or Health Laws, including current good
manufacturing practices.
(d) Parent has not received any notices or correspondence from the FDA, the MHRA or any
similar Governmental Authority requiring the termination, suspension or material
49
modification of
any nonclinical study or clinical trial conducted by or on behalf of Parent or the recall of any
Parent Product.
(e) Parent has no knowledge of any investigation of Parent or Parent Products being conducted
by the FDA or any similar Governmental Authority, nor has it received any notice from the FDA, the
MHRA or any similar Governmental Authority that it has commenced, or threatened to initiate any
action to suspend or terminate any clinical trial, withdraw approval of any Parent Product, place
sales or marketing restrictions on or request the recall of any Parent Product.
(f) No regulatory submission to the FDA or any other Governmental Authority that was, or is,
intended to be the basis for an approval of any Parent Product contains any material omission or
false information. To the best of Parent’s knowledge, each regulatory submission (and related
documents and information) has been submitted and maintained in compliance with applicable
statutes, rules and regulations.
Section 6.14 Taxes.
(a) Parent has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax Returns required to be filed by
applicable Law with respect to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their income,
properties or operations; and has paid all Taxes shown thereon as owing except where
the failure to file Tax Returns or to pay Taxes would not have, or would not reasonably be
expected to result in, a Parent Material Adverse Effect.
(b) Parent has made adequate provisions in accordance with GAAP, appropriately and
consistently applied, in its financial statements for the payment of all material Taxes for which
Parent or any of its Subsidiaries may be liable for the periods covered thereby that were not yet
due and payable as of the dates thereof, regardless of whether the liability for such Taxes is
disputed.
(c) To Parent’s knowledge, Parent has not received any written claim or assessment against
Parent or any of its Subsidiaries for any material deficiency in Taxes, and to the knowledge of
Parent there is no outstanding audit or investigation with respect to any liability of Parent or
any of its Subsidiaries for Taxes. There are no agreements in effect to extend the period of
limitations for the assessment or collection of any Tax for which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries
may be liable, and no closing agreement pursuant to Section 7121 of the Code or any predecessor
provision thereof, or any similar provision of state or local Law.
(d) Parent and its Subsidiaries have withheld from payments to their employees, independent
contractors, creditors, stockholders and any other applicable Person (and timely paid to the
appropriate taxing authority) proper and accurate amounts in compliance in all material respects

employment Tax withholding for all types of compensation and withholding of Tax on dividends,
interest, and royalties and similar income earned by nonresident aliens and foreign corporations).

portion of a Tax) of any Person other than Parent and its Subsidiaries under Treasury Regulations
Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of federal, state, local or foreign law), as transferee
or successor, by contract or otherwise. To the Parent’s knowledge, no written claim that remains
unresolved has been made by any Taxing Authority in a jurisdiction where Parent or any of its
Subsidiaries has not filed Tax Returns that Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is or may be subject
to taxation by that jurisdiction.

as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.
(h) Within the past five years, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has been a
“distributing corporation” or a “controlled corporation” in a distribution intended to qualify
under Section 355(a) of the Code, except the distribution of Parent (the “Spin-Off”)
pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated June 30, 2009, by and between
Parent and Myriad Genetics, Inc. (the “Distributing Corporation”).
(i) The Distributing Corporation received that certain private letter ruling (the
“Ruling”) dated June 18, 2009, and issued by the IRS in connection with the Spin-Off,
stating that the Spin-Off was a tax-free transaction under Sections 368(a)(1)(D) and 355 of the
Code.
(j) Parent has made available to the Company a true and correct copy of the Ruling, the
request for the Ruling and any material correspondence directly related thereto; neither Parent nor
any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice from any Taxing Authority or otherwise has
knowledge that the Ruling may be revoked or its application to the Spin-Off described therein
challenged or disputed by any Taxing Authority or that the Ruling otherwise may not be properly
applicable to the Spin-Off; and all the facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings that
were made by Parent, and to the Knowledge of the parent, the Distributing Corporation or any of
their affiliates, in connection with the Ruling are true, correct, and complete and have not been
violated.
(k) The Merger, this Agreement and any other related arrangement or contemplated transaction
by the Parent or, to Parent’s knowledge, by the Distributing Corporation does not (i) cause the
Spin-Off to be taxed under Section 355(e) of the Code, (ii) violate that certain Tax Sharing
Agreement, dated June 30, 2009, by and between Parent and the Distributing Corporation (the
“Tax Sharing Agreement”) or give right to any indemnification obligation by Parent to the
Distributing Corporation under the Tax Sharing Agreement. Parent has fully complied and is in full
compliance with the Tax Sharing Agreement.
51

Spin-Off (based on the closing price per share of the Parent Common Stock on the date of the
Spin-Off as reported by The NASDAQ Global Market) was approximately $110,500,000 and, to the
knowledge of Parent, the Distributing Corporation’s aggregate tax basis in the outstanding shares
of Parent Common Stock immediately prior to the Spin-Off was not less than $180,000,000.
Section 6.15 Information Supplied. None of the information supplied or to be supplied
by Parent for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement will, at the
time the Registration Statement is filed with the SEC, at any time it is amended or supplemented or
at the time it becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading. None of the information supplied or to be supplied by
Parent for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Joint Proxy Statement will, on the date
it is first mailed to holders of Company Common Stock or at the time of the Company Stockholders’
Meeting, 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 the statements therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent

respective Affiliates, directors or officers, is discovered by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub,

Registration Statement, so that the Joint Proxy Statement or Registration Statement would not
include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make

misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties and
an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the
SEC and, to the extent required by Law, disseminated to the Company Stockholders and the Parent

pursuant to a confidentiality agreement with terms overall no less favorable to the Company than
those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that all such information (to the extent
that such information has not been previously provided or made or had been previously made
available to Parent) is provided to Parent prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it
is provided or made available to such Person.
(b) The Company Board shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) (A) fail to make, withdraw, or
amend or modify in a manner adverse to Parent, or publicly propose to withdraw, or amend or modify
in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Board Recommendation or the approval of the Company
Board of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or (B) recommend, adopt or
approve, or propose publicly to recommend, adopt or approve, any Company Acquisition Proposal (any
action described in this clause (i) being referred to as an “Adverse Recommendation
Change”) or (ii) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, or allow
the Company or any Company Subsidiary to execute or enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of
understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement or other similar
agreement (A) constituting or that would reasonably be expected to
lead to a Company Acquisition Proposal or (B) requiring it to abandon, terminate or fail to
consummate the Merger. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the Merger Effective
Time, the Company Board may make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to (x) a Company
Superior Proposal or (y) an event, development or change in circumstance that occurs, arises or
becomes known to the Company Board following the date of this Agreement, in each case if the
Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with the Company’s legal advisor that the
failure to take such action
64
would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company
Stockholders under applicable Law; provided, however, that no such Adverse Recommendation Change
may be made until five (5) calendar days following Parent’s receipt of written notice (a
“Company Notice of Adverse Recommendation”) from the Company advising Parent that the
Company Board intends to take such action and specifying the reasons therefor, including the terms
and conditions of any Company Superior Proposal that is the basis of the proposed action by the
Company Board (it being understood and agreed that (x) any amendment to any material term of such
Company Superior Proposal or (y) with respect to any previous Adverse Recommendation Change, any
material change in the principal stated rationale by the Company Board for such previous Adverse
Recommendation Change, shall, in the case of either (x) or (y), require a new Company Notice of
Adverse Recommendation and a new three (3) calendar day period); provided however, that if the
Company Stockholders’ Meeting is scheduled to be held in the five calendar day period or the three
calendar day period referred to above, then, in each case, such five calendar day period or three
calendar day period referred to above shall be shortened to such number of days to allow the
Adverse Recommendation Change to be made at least 24 hours prior to the Company Stockholders’
Meeting. In determining whether to make an Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company Board shall
take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent in response to a
Company Notice of Adverse Recommendation or otherwise.
(c) The Company shall promptly (and in all cases within two (2) Business Days) advise Parent
in writing of any Company Acquisition Proposal, the terms and conditions of any such Company
Acquisition Proposal and the identity of the Person making any such Company Acquisition Proposal
and of any discussions or negotiations sought to be entered into or requests for information or
access to properties or assets made or requested by such Person with the Company, any Company
Subsidiary or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, financial
advisors, attorneys, brokers, finders or other agents or representatives. The Company shall keep
Parent reasonably informed of the status (including any material change to the terms and conditions
thereof) of any such Company Acquisition Proposal and shall promptly (but in no event later than
two (2) Business Days after receipt) provide to Parent copies of all correspondence and written
materials sent or provided to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that describe the material
terms and conditions of any Company Acquisition Proposal. The Company Board shall not take any of
the actions referred to in the last sentence of Section 8.03(a) unless the Company shall
have delivered to Parent a prior written notice advising Parent that it intends to take such
action.
(d) The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective
representatives to, cease immediately and cause to be terminated any and all existing
soliciting activities, discussions or negotiations and non-public information access, if any,
with or to any Person conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Company Acquisition
Proposal. The Company shall promptly request that each Person, if any, in possession of the
confidential information about the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries that was furnished by
or on behalf of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries in connection
65
with its consideration
of any potential Company Acquisition Proposal to return or destroy all confidential information
heretofore furnished to such Person.
(e) Nothing in this Section 8.03 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prevent the
Company Board from disclosing any information required to be disclosed under applicable Law or from
disclosing any information in compliance with Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the
Exchange Act with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal, including, but not limited to, a
“stop, look and listen” or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under
the Exchange Act. In addition, nothing in this Section 8.03 or this Agreement shall
prohibit the Company from taking any action that any court of competent jurisdiction orders the
Company to take.
Section 8.04 Employee Benefits Matters.
(a) From and after the Merger Effective Time, Parent shall honor and shall cause the Surviving
Corporation to honor, in accordance with their terms as in effect at the Merger Effective Time, all
Company Plans, compensation arrangements and agreements, and employment, severance and termination
plans and agreements that are not required to be terminated hereby or otherwise terminated prior to
or at the Merger Effective Time. Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to assume
responsibility for offering health care continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1985 to any “M&A qualified beneficiary” (with the meaning of Treas. Reg. §
54.4980B-9) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with
Treas. Reg. § 54.4980B-9.
(b) The Company shall terminate or cause to be terminated each Company Plan that is a profit
sharing plan or with a cash or deferred arrangement subject to Section 401(k) (or 401(m)) of the
Code a day immediately prior to the date of the Merger Effective Time. At the written direction
of Parent, which shall be given in accordance with this Agreement no less than five (5) business
days prior to the Merger Effective Time, the Company shall terminate or cause to be terminated each
other Company Plan immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time. The Company shall take all such
actions necessary to carry out the foregoing including, without limitation, the adoption of
resolutions, the adoption of amendments and notification of any carriers or vendors. No more than
five (5) business days prior to the Merger Effective Time, Parent may request Company to produce
any such documentation or drafts thereof that Parent deems necessary to effect the provisions of
this Section 8.04(b).
(c) With respect to any Company Employees eligible to receive an annual bonus, whether
pursuant to any Company Plan and/or any applicable employment agreement (the “Employment
Agreements”) (the
“Affected Employees”), the Company may pay an annual bonus in respect of the Company’s
2009 fiscal year in an amount equal to the full amount each such Affected Employee was eligible to
receive under such arrangements, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, prior
to the Merger Effective Time (collectively, the “2009 Bonus Payments”). If the Company
shall have not paid the 2009 Bonus Payments prior to
66
the Merger Effective Time, Parent will cause
the Surviving Corporation to pay the 2009 Bonus Payments upon the Merger Effective Time.
(d) Prior to the Merger Effective Time, the Company Board, or an appropriate committee of
non-employee directors thereof, shall adopt a resolution consistent with the interpretive guidance
of the SEC so that the disposition by any officer or director of the Company who is a covered
person of the Company for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder (“Section 16”) of shares of Company Common Stock or Company Stock Options to
acquire shares of Company Common Stock (or shares of Company Common Stock acquired upon the vesting
of any Company Stock Awards) pursuant to this Agreement and the Merger shall be an exempt
transaction for purposes of Section 16.
Section 8.05 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance of the Surviving
Corporation.
(a) Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and
advancement of expenses for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Merger Effective Time,
whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Merger Effective Time, now existing in favor
of the current or former directors, officers or employees, as the case may be, of the Company or
its Subsidiaries as provided in their respective certificates of incorporation or by-laws or other
organization documents or in any agreement shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full
force and effect. Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect any and all
exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of the Company’s and any of its
Subsidiaries’ certificate of incorporation and by-laws or similar organization documents in effect
immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time or in any indemnification agreements of the Company
or its Subsidiaries with any of their respective current or former directors, officers or employees
in effect as of the date hereof, and shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such
provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any individuals who
at the Merger Effective Time were current or former directors, officers or employees of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries, and all rights to indemnification in respect of any Action pending or
asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Action
or resolution of such claim.
(b) From and after the Merger Effective Time, each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation
shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, indemnify and hold harmless (and
advance funds in respect of each of the foregoing) each current and former director, officer or
employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, together with such
person’s heirs, executors or administrators, an “Indemnified Party”) against any costs
or expenses (including advancing reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in advance of the final
disposition of any claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Party to the
fullest extent permitted by Law), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened Action, arising out of,
relating to or in connection with any action or omission occurring or alleged to have occurred
whether before or after the Merger Effective Time (including acts or omissions in connection with
such persons
67
serving as an officer, director or other fiduciary in any entity if such service was
at the request or for the benefit of the Company).
(c) Parent shall negotiate (with the assistance of the Company or its representative) and
purchase “tail” insurance coverage from the Company’s existing directors and officers liability
and fiduciary liability insurers, or from other insurers of commensurate or better financial
strength, that provides for a period of six (6) years that is no less favorable in both amount and
terms and conditions of coverage than the Company’s existing directors and officers liability and
fiduciary insurance programs, or if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is not available,
the best available coverage (“D&O and Fiduciary Insurance”); provided however that the
aggregate cost for the purchase of such tail coverage (for the entire six (6) year tail coverage
period) shall not exceed more than 250% of the aggregate annual premium paid by the Company for the
existing directors and officers liability and fiduciary liability insurance program for the most
recent fiscal year, provided, further, that should the cost of D&O and Fiduciary Insurance exceed
the 250% cap, Parent shall instead purchase the best available coverage for 250% of the aggregate
premium paid by the Company for the existing directors and officers liability and fiduciary
liability insurance program.
(d) The rights of each Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in
limitation of, any other rights such Indemnified Party may have under the Company Charter, the
Company Bylaws or other similar organization documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
the Surviving Corporation, any other indemnification agreement or arrangement, the DGCL or
otherwise. The provisions of this Section 8.05 shall survive the consummation of the Merger
and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement that may be to the contrary, expressly
are intended to benefit, and are enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties.
(e) In the event Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or
assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or
surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or
substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in either such case, proper
provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation,
as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 8.05.
The agreements and covenants contained herein shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other
rights to which any Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, contract or otherwise.
Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair
any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has
been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective
officers, directors and employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided
for in this Section 8.05 is not prior to, or in substitution for, any such claims under any
such policies.
Section 8.06 Further Action; Reasonable Best Efforts. (a) Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best
68
efforts to take, or to cause to be taken, all actions, to file, or cause to be filed, all documents

and delivery of any additional instruments reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby, including, but not limited to, instruments effectuating the assignment or
assumption of Contracts to or by Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation; provided,
however, that in no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be required to pay
prior to the Merger Effective Time any fee, penalties or other consideration to any third party to
obtain any consent or approval required for the consummation of the Merger under any Contract.
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided and without limiting the foregoing,
the Company and Parent shall (i) promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after
the date hereof, make all filings and submissions required under the HSR Act with respect to the
Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, and use reasonable best efforts to cause the
expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act, (ii) use reasonable
best efforts to cooperate with each other in (x) determining whether any filings are required to be
made with, or consents, permits, authorizations, waivers, clearances, approvals, and expirations or

Governmental Authorities in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and (y) timely making all such filings and

Commission, the
Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice, state antitrust enforcement
authorities or competition authorities of any other nation or other jurisdiction or any other
person may assert under any Regulatory Law with respect to the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated hereby, and to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Law that may be
asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Merger so as to enable the Closing to
occur as soon as reasonably possible (and in any event no later than the Outside Date), including,
without limitation (x) proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent
69
decree, hold
separate order or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of any assets or businesses of
Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or of the Company or its Subsidiaries and (y) otherwise
taking or committing to take any actions that after the Closing would limit the freedom of Parent
or its Subsidiaries’ (including the Surviving Corporation’s) or Affiliates’ freedom of action with
respect to, or its ability to retain, one or more of its or its Subsidiaries’ (including the
Surviving Corporation’s) or Affiliates’ businesses, product lines or assets, in each case as may be
required in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary
restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding which would otherwise have the effect of
preventing the Closing, materially delaying the Closing or delaying the Closing beyond the Outside
Date; provided that neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall become subject to, or
consent or agree to or otherwise take any action with respect to, any requirement, condition,
understanding, agreement or order of a Governmental Authority to sell, to hold separate or
otherwise dispose of, or to conduct, restrict, operate, invest or otherwise change the assets or
business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, unless such requirement, condition,
understanding, agreement or order is binding on the Company only in the event that the Closing
occurs.

Authority, the Company and Parent shall keep each other apprised of the status of matters relating

including promptly furnishing the other with copies of notices or other communications received by
the Company or Parent, as the case may be, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates,
from any third party and/or any Governmental Authority with respect to such Merger or transactions.
The Company and Parent shall permit counsel for the other party reasonable opportunity to review
in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other party in connection with, any
proposed written communication to any Governmental Authority. Each of the Company and Parent
agrees not to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion, either in person or by
telephone, with any Governmental Authority in connection with the proposed transactions unless it
consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental
Authority, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate.
(d) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in this
Section 8.06, if any administrative or judicial action or proceeding, including any
proceeding by a private party, is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging the
Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any Regulatory Law,
each of the Company and Parent shall cooperate in all respects with each other and shall
use its respective reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding
and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other

communication or the failure of such party to obtain such consent could be material to the Company,
the Surviving Corporation or Parent, and (b) any actions, suits, claims, investigations or
proceedings commenced or, to such party’s knowledge, threatened against, such party or any of its
Subsidiaries and relating to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby.

shall be binding upon, and enforceable by the Financial Advisor against, the Company’s successors
and assigns.

to cause the Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 4.01 to be authorized for

any material respect”, “material” or “materially”) as of the Merger Effective Time, as though made
on and as of the Merger Effective Time (except to the extent expressly made as of an earlier date,
in which case as of such earlier date), except where the failure of any such representations and
warranties to be so true and correct would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect;

(e) Since the date of this Agreement, there shall not have occurred any event or occurrence
and no circumstance shall exist which, alone or together with any one or more other events,
occurrences or circumstances has had, is having or would reasonably be expected to result in a

rely on the failure of any condition set forth in Section 9.01 to be satisfied if such

efforts to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as
required by and subject to Section 8.06.
ARTICLE X

obligation under this Agreement materially contributed to the failure of the
Merger Effective Time to occur on or before such date; provided further, that
if the Registration Statement shall not have been declared effective by the SEC on or before March
1, 2010, then for each day after March 1, 2010 that the SEC has not declared the Registration
Statement to be effective, the Outside Date shall automatically be extended by one day until such
date as the SEC declares the Registration Statement to be effective and, if the last day of such
extension is not a Business Day, then until
76
the next Business Day, but in no event shall the
Outside Date be extended beyond April 30, 2010 on this basis;
(c) by either Parent or the Company if any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction
shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any injunction, order, decree or

consummation of the Merger (“Governmental Order”) which has become final and
non-appealable; provided, however, that the terms of this Section 10.01(c)
shall not be available to any party unless such party shall have used its reasonable best efforts
to oppose any such Governmental Order or to have such Governmental Order vacated or made
inapplicable to the Merger;
(d) by Parent, if prior to the Merger Effective Time there shall have been a breach or
inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Company
contained in this Agreement, which breach or inaccuracy would (A) give rise to the failure of a

curable, is not cured by the Company by the earlier of (x) 30 days following receipt by the Company
of written notice of such breach or failure and (y) the Outside Date; provided that neither Parent
nor Merger Sub is then in material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant under this
Agreement;
(e) by the Company, if prior to the Merger Effective Time there shall have been a breach or
inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Parent or Merger

curable, is not cured by Parent or Merger Sub by the earlier of (x) 30 days following receipt by
Parent or Merger Sub of written notice of such breach or failure and (y) the Outside Date; provided
that the Company is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant under
this Agreement;
(f) by either Parent or the Company if the Company Stockholders’ Meeting (including any
adjournments and postponements thereof) shall have been held and completed and Company Stockholder
Approval shall not have been obtained; provided, however, that a party shall not be
permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.01(f) if the failure to
obtain such stockholder vote is attributable to a failure on the part of the party seeking to
terminate this Agreement to perform any material obligation required to be performed by such party
at or prior to the Merger Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement.
(g) by either Parent or the Company if the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting (including any
adjournments and postponements thereof) shall have been held and completed and Parent Stockholder
Approval shall not have been obtained; provided, however, that a party shall not be
permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.01(g) if the failure to
obtain such stockholder vote is attributable to a failure on the part of the party seeking to
77
terminate this Agreement to perform any material obligation required to be performed by such party
at or prior to the Merger Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement;
(h) by Parent if (i) the Company Board shall have publicly withdrawn or adversely modified its
approvals or recommendations of the Merger or the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) the
Company Board has failed to reaffirm its approvals and recommendations of the Merger or this
Agreement within five (5) Business Days after Parent has requested in writing that it do so, (iii)

a tender or exchange offer or other transaction constituting or potentially constituting a Company
Acquisition Proposal and the Company shall not have sent to its security holders pursuant to Rule
14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act, within ten (10) Business Days after such tender or
exchange offer is first published, sent or given, a statement disclosing that the Company
recommends rejection of such tender or exchange offer;
(i) by the Company, if at any time prior to the Merger Effective Time, (i) the Company Board
has received a Company Superior Proposal, (ii) the Company shall have first given Parent at least
five (5) Business Days notice of its intent to terminate pursuant to this subsection, indicating in
such notice the material terms and conditions of such Company Superior Proposal and during the five
(5) Business Day period immediately following the delivery of such notice, the Company negotiates
in good faith with Parent to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as
would enable the parties to proceed with the transactions contemplated herein on such adjusted
terms, and (iii) after taking into account any amendment to this Agreement entered into, or to
which Parent irrevocably covenants to enter into, within such five (5) Business Day period and for
which all internal approvals of Parent have been obtained since receipt of such notice, such
Company Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Company Superior Proposal;
(j) by the Company, if at any time prior to the Merger Effective Time, (i) the Parent Board
shall have publicly withdrawn or adversely modified its approvals or recommendations of the Merger
or the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) the Parent Board has failed to reaffirm its
approvals and recommendations of the Merger, this Agreement or the approval of the issuance of the
Parent Common Stock hereunder within five (5) Business Days after the Company has requested in

third party shall have commenced a tender or exchange offer or other transaction constituting
or potentially constituting a Parent Acquisition Proposal and Parent shall not have sent to its

Business Days after such tender or exchange offer is first published, sent or given, a statement
disclosing that Parent recommends rejection of such tender or exchange offer; or
78
(k) by Parent, if prior to the Merger Effective Time (i) the Company shall have withdrawn the
New Drug Application for Dyloject without the prior written consent of Parent, or (ii) the Company
shall have received a “refusal to file” letter from the FDA with respect to the New Drug
Application for Dyloject, and Parent believes in good faith that it is unlikely that the issues
raised by the FDA in such letter can be resolved by the Company and the New Drug Application
re-submitted within sixty (60) days after the Company’s receipt of such letter such that the New
Drug Application as re-submitted will be filed by the FDA without requiring further revisions.

Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01 (other than Section 10.01(a)), written notice
thereof shall be given to the other party or parties, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to

(i) if such termination is pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 10.01(h),

may be, because it has determined in good faith that a Parent Material Adverse Effect has
occurred, then the Company shall pay Parent the Parent Stipulated Expenses within ninety (90)
days of the date of termination of this Agreement;
(ii) if such termination is pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 10.01(h),

the date of termination of this Agreement;
(ii) if such termination is pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 10.01(j),

Agreement;

pay to Parent within one (1) Business Day of the date of the termination of this Agreement, the
Parent Stipulated Expenses.
80
(f) In the event this Agreement shall be terminated by the Company pursuant to Section
10.01(e) or by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(g), Parent shall pay to
the Company within one (1) Business Day of the date of the termination of this Agreement, the
Company Stipulated Expenses.
(g) The parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 10.03 are an
integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these
agreements, neither Parent nor Merger Sub, on the one hand, nor the Company, on the other hand,
would enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if a party fails to pay in full any amount due
pursuant to this Section 10.03 by the date required, such party shall, in addition to any
amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Section 10.03, (i) reimburse the non-breaching
party for all expenses incurred by the non-breaching party or its affiliates in collection of such
unpaid amounts or mitigating losses from such failure to pay; and (ii) pay interest on the amount
an any such unpaid amount at the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. in effect on the date such payment
was required to be made.
(h) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, and except as otherwise
provided in the Note Documents, (i) each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges and agrees that in
the event that Parent is entitled to receive the Termination Fee and/or the Parent Stipulated
Expenses pursuant to this Agreement, the right of Parent to receive such amounts shall constitute
each of the Buyer Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy for, and such amounts shall constitute
liquidated damages in respect of, any termination of this Agreement regardless of the circumstances
giving rise to such termination, and (ii) the Company acknowledges and agrees that in the event
that the Company is entitled to receive the Termination Fee and/or the Company Stipulated Expenses
pursuant to this Agreement, the right of the Company to receive such amounts shall constitute the

respect of, any termination of this Agreement regardless of the circumstances giving rise to such

Fee and the Company Stipulated Expenses shall at all times be subject to an offset against any

its own obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid if

Section 12.03 Severability. 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 or the
application of
84
this Agreement to any person or circumstance is invalid or incapable of being
enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement
shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to
any party. To such end, the provisions of this Agreement are agreed to be severable. 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 in a mutually acceptable manner in order that
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the
fullest extent possible.
Section 12.04 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto by
action taken by their respective board of directors (or similar governing body or entity) at any
time prior to the Merger Effective Time; provided, however, that, after approval of
the Merger by the Company Stockholders, no amendment may be made without further stockholder
approval which, by Law or in accordance with the rules of the Amex, requires further approval by
such stockholders. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by
the parties hereto.
Section 12.05 Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement, together with the
Confidentiality Agreement, the Parent Disclosure Schedule and the Company Disclosure Schedule,
constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and
supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any
of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall not be assigned (whether
pursuant to a merger, by operation of law or otherwise); provided that Parent and Merger Sub may
assign any of its rights and obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any Subsidiary of
Parent without obtaining the consent of the Company and any such assignment shall not relieve
Parent or Merger Sub of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this
Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto
and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment not permitted under
this Section 12.05 shall be null and void ab initio and of no force and effect.
Section 12.06 Performance Guaranty Specific Performance. Subject to Section
10.03(g), the parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any
provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that money
damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement, and accordingly, the
parties hereto shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any
other remedy at law or equity.
Section 12.07 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is
intended to or shall confer upon any other person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature
whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, other than (a) the provisions of Section
8.05
85
(which are intended to be for the benefit of the persons covered thereby and may be
enforced by such persons); (b) the provisions of Section 8.13
(which are intended to be for the benefit of, and may be enforced by, the Financial Advisor); and (c) the right of the holders of
equity interests of the Company to receive the Merger Consideration.
Section 12.08 Governing Law; Forum.
(a) All disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the
negotiation, validity or performance of this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without
regard to its rules of conflict of laws.
(b) Except as set out below, each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally consents to submit to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of any court of the State
of Delaware or of the United States located in New Castle County, Delaware (the “Delaware
Courts”) for any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the negotiation,
validity or performance of this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby (and agrees not
to commence any litigation relating thereto except in such courts), waives any objection to the
laying of venue of any such litigation in the Delaware Courts and agrees not to plead or claim in
any Delaware Court that such litigation brought therein has been brought in any inconvenient forum.
