THE MERGER

Section 2.01. The Closing. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at 10:00 a.m., Boston time, as soon as practicable (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) after satisfaction or, to the extent permitted hereunder, waiver of all conditions to the Merger set forth in Article 7 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted hereunder) of such conditions), unless this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to its terms or unless another time or date is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. The Closing shall be held at the offices of Foley Hoag LLP, Seaport West, 155 Seaport Boulevard, Boston, Massachusetts 02210, unless another place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto.

Section 2.02. The Merger.

12

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, as soon as practicable after the Closing, the Company shall file with the Delaware Secretary of State a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) in connection with the Merger in such form as is required by, and executed and acknowledged in accordance with, Delaware Law.

(b) The Merger shall become effective on such date and at such time (the “Effective Time”) as the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Delaware Secretary of State (or at such later time as may be agreed by the parties that is specified in the Certificate of Merger).

(c) At the Effective Time, Merger Subsidiary shall be merged with and into the Company in accordance with Delaware Law, whereupon the separate existence of Merger Subsidiary shall cease, and the Company shall be the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”). From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all the rights, powers, privileges and franchises and be subject to all of the obligations, liabilities, restrictions and disabilities of the Company and Merger Subsidiary, all as provided under Delaware Law.

Section 2.03. Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof:

(a) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.03(b), Section 2.03(c), or Section 2.05, each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive (i) $6.30 in cash, without interest (the “Cash Merger Consideration”) and (ii) one (1) contractual contingent value right pursuant to the CVR Agreement (a “CVR”), in each case, without interest thereon ((i) and (ii) collectively, the “Merger Consideration”);

(b) each share of Company Common Stock held by the Company as treasury stock or owned by Parent or Merger Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto;

(c) each share of Company Common Stock held by any Subsidiary of Parent (other than Merger Subsidiary) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into such number of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation such that each such Subsidiary owns the same percentage of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time as such Subsidiary owned in the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time; and

(d) (i) each share of common stock of Merger Subsidiary outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation and (ii) each share of preferred stock of Merger Subsidiary outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one share of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation, in each case with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and, together with the shares described in Section 2.03(c), shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.04. Surrender and Payment.

13

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint an exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging for the Merger Consideration certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock (the “Certificates”) and uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock (the “Uncertificated Shares”). As of the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent the aggregate Cash Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares (the “Payment Fund”). Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each record holder of shares of Company Common Stock at the Effective Time a letter of transmittal which shall be in reasonable and customary form and instructions and which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof in accordance with Section 2.09 or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent) for use in such exchange. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall not be required to deposit any funds related to any CVR with the Rights Agent unless and until such deposit is required pursuant to the CVR Agreement.

(b) Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 2.09) to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration in respect of the Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Certificates.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any holder of Uncertificated Shares shall not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this
Article 2. In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more Uncertificated Shares whose Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of an “agent’s message” in customary form (or such other evidence, if any, as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request), be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration in respect of each such Uncertificated Share, and the Uncertificated Shares of such holder shall forthwith be cancelled.

(d) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Uncertificated Share is registered on the books of the Company, it shall be a condition to such payment that either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Share shall be properly transferred and the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other similar Tax required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(e) All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates or transfer of Uncertificated Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares and from and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock on the

14

stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article 2.

(f) Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.04 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(g) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.05 in respect of any Dissenting Shares shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, provided that Parent shall return such portion of the Merger Consideration to the Exchange Agent to the extent that the holder of such Dissenting Shares fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under Delaware Law with respect to such shares.

Section 2.05. Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding Section 2.03, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Company Common Stock canceled in accordance with Section 2.03(b)) and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who has properly exercised appraisal rights of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of Delaware Law (such shares being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under Delaware Law with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration but instead shall be entitled to payment of the appraised value of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of Delaware Law; provided that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses such holder’s right to appraisal, pursuant to Section 262 of Delaware Law or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of Delaware Law, such shares of Company Common Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.03(a), without interest thereon, upon surrender of such Certificate formerly representing such share or transfer of such Uncertificated Share, as the case may be. The Company shall provide Parent prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice, instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to Section 262 of Delaware Law, and Parent shall have the opportunity and right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or offer to settle or settle, any such demands.

Section 2.06. Company Equity Awards; ESPP.

15

(a) At the Effective Time, each (i) Company Stock Option that is then outstanding, unexercised and vested (or which, pursuant to its terms or the terms of a Contract in effect on the date hereof, shall become vested upon the occurrence of the Closing), (ii) Specified Holder Option, other than a Specified Holder Option described in clause (i) above, that is held by a Specified Holder who has, at or prior to the Effective Time, delivered to the Company and not revoked a Non-Competition Agreement, (iii) Company Stock Option, other than a Company Stock Option described in clause (i) above, that is then outstanding and unexercised and is held by an officer or employee of the Company who is not a Specified Holder who has, at or prior to the Effective Time, delivered to the Company and not revoked a General Release, (iv) Company Stock Option that is then outstanding and unexercised, whether or not vested, that is held by an individual other than a Specified Holder or other officer or employee of the Company, which, in each case, has a per share exercise price that is less than the Cash Merger Consideration (each, an “In the Money Option”), shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive (A) a cash payment equal to (x) the excess, if any, of (1) the Cash Merger Consideration over (2) the exercise price payable per Share under such Company Stock Option, multiplied by (y) the total number of Shares subject to such In the Money Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (without regard to vesting) and (B) one CVR for each Share subject to such In the Money Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (without regard to vesting).

(b) At the Effective Time, each (i) Company Stock Option other than an In the Money Option that is then outstanding, unexercised and vested (or which, pursuant to its terms or the terms of a Contract in effect on the date hereof, shall become vested upon the occurrence of the Closing), (ii) Specified Holder Option that is not an In the Money Option, other than a Specified Holder Option described in clause (i) above, that is held by a Specified Holder who has, at or prior to the Effective Time, delivered to the Company and not revoked a Non-Competition Agreement, (iii) Company Stock Option that is not an In the Money Option, other than a Company Stock Option described in clause (i) above, that is then outstanding and unexercised and is held by an officer or employee of the Company who is not a Specified Holder who has, at or prior to the Effective Time, delivered to the Company and not revoked a General Release, (iv) Company Stock Option other than an In the Money Option that is then outstanding and unexercised, whether or not vested, that is held by an individual other than a Specified Holder or other officer or employee of the Company (any Company Stock Option described in (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), an “Out of the Money Option”), shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment, if any, from Parent with respect to each Share subject to the Out of the Money Option upon each Valuation Point which occurs after the Effective Time, equal to (A) the amount by which the Per Share Value Paid exceeds the exercise price payable per Share under such Out of the Money Option, less (B) the amount of all payments previously received with respect to such Out of the Money Option pursuant to this Section 2.06(b). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any (x) Out of the Money Options with an exercise price payable per Share equal to or greater than $8.30 and (y) Company Stock Options that are not vested as of the effective time and which do not vest pursuant to the terms of such Company Stock Option or the terms of a Contract in effect on the date hereof that are held by (1) a Specified Holder who has not, at or prior to the Effective Time, delivered to the Company and not revoked Non-Competition Agreement or (2) an officer or employee of the Company who is not a Specified Holder who has not, at or prior to the Effective Time, delivered to the Company and not revoked General Release shall be cancelled at the Effective Time without any consideration payable therefor.

16

(c) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but no later than the second payroll date after the Effective Time) and as soon as practicable following each Valuation Point, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation or its Affiliate to, and the Surviving Corporation or its Affiliate, as applicable, shall, in a manner that will not trigger a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code, pay the aggregate consideration payable pursuant to Sections 2.06(a)(i) and 2.06(b), net of any applicable withholding Taxes, payable with respect to In the Money Options or Out of the Money Options through, to the extent applicable, the Surviving Corporation’s or its Affiliate’s payroll (subject to any required Tax withholdings) to the holders of Company Stock Options (or, if elected by Parent in the case of any payments pursuant to Section 2.06(b) in respect of Out of the Money Options through the Rights Agent); provided, however, that to the extent there is not a withholding obligation with respect to the Company Stock Options, the consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(i) with respect to such Company Stock Options shall be paid in the manner described in Section 2.04 through the Payment Fund rather than this Section 2.06(c).

(d) The Company shall take such action as may be necessary under the Company’s 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (as amended through the date hereof, the “ESPP”) to terminate all offerings under the ESPP as of the last day of the Company’s last payroll period ending at least ten (10) days prior to the Effective Time (the “Final Exercise Date”); provide that no further offerings shall commence under the ESPP on or following the Final Exercise Date; and terminate the ESPP as of the Final Exercise Date. Each outstanding option under the ESPP on the Final Exercise Date shall be exercised on such date for the purchase of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the ESPP. The Company shall provide timely notice of the setting of the Final Exercise Date and termination of the ESPP in accordance with Section 15 of the ESPP.

(e) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement and in any event prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Company Stock Plans) shall adopt such resolutions that are appropriate or necessary to (i) immediately prior to (and, with respect to any Company Stock Option that is an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to) the Effective Time, accelerate the vesting and exercisability of each such unexpired and unexercised Company Stock Option then outstanding so that each such Company Stock Option shall be fully vested and exercisable prior to the Effective Time, (ii) terminate each Company Stock Plan as of the Effective Time (except as otherwise agreed by Parent) and (iii) cause, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each unexpired and unexercised Company Stock Option outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested (and each Company Stock Plan, if any, under which any Company Stock Option may be granted except, with respect to any such plan, as otherwise agreed by Parent) to be cancelled, terminated and extinguished, subject to payment pursuant to, and in order to give effect to, this Section 2.06.

Section 2.07. Adjustments. If, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company shall occur, including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock

17

dividend, the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted.

Section 2.08. Withholding Rights. Each of the Company, Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent and the Rights Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement and the CVR Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of any applicable Tax Law and shall be entitled to request any reasonably appropriate Tax forms, including an IRS Form W-9 (or the appropriate IRS Form W-8, as applicable) or any similar information from any recipient of payments reasonably required in order to establish exemption from such deduction and withholding. Any amounts so deducted and withheld shall be timely paid over to the relevant Governmental Authorities. To the extent that the Company, Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent or the Rights Agent, as the case may be, so deducts and withholds amounts and timely pays such amounts to the relevant Governmental Authorities, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which the Company, Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent or the Rights Agent, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding. Any compensatory payments contemplated to be made pursuant to this Agreement or the CVR Agreement shall be paid through an appropriate payroll system.

Section 2.09. Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, as contemplated under this Article 2.

(b) At a meeting duly called and held, prior to the execution of this Agreement, at which all directors of the Company were present or participated and voting in favor, the Company Board duly adopted resolutions declaring that this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby are fair to, advisable and in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders, approving this Agreement, the Merger, and the other transactions contemplated hereby, directing that the adoption of this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby be submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company at the Stockholder Meeting, and making the Board Recommendation.

(a) The Company shall establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the “Stockholder Meeting”) as promptly as practicable after (i) the date on which the SEC confirms that it has no further comments on the Proxy Statement; or (ii) if the SEC has failed to affirmatively notify the Company within ten (10) calendar days after the initial filing of the Proxy Statement with the SEC, the eleventh (11^th) day after such filing, for the purpose of (A) voting on the matters requiring Stockholder Approval; and (B) in accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the applicable SEC rules issued thereunder, seeking advisory approval of a proposal to the Company’s stockholders for a non-binding, advisory vote to approve certain compensation that may become payable to the Company’s executive officers in connection with the completion of the Merger; provided that if the Company is unable to obtain a quorum of its stockholders at such time, the Company may adjourn or postpone the date of the Stockholder Meeting for up to ten (10) Business Days and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts during such ten (10) Business Day period to obtain such a quorum as soon as practicable, and the Company may delay, adjourn or postpone the Stockholder Meeting to the extent (and only to the extent) the Company reasonably determines that such delay, adjournment or postponement is required by Applicable Law or to comply with any order or request made by the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement or otherwise. Unless the Company Board shall have effected an Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 6.03, the Company Board shall make the Board Recommendation and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Stockholder Approval, and the Company shall otherwise comply with all Applicable Laws applicable to the Stockholder Meeting. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall establish a record date for, call, give notice of, convene and hold the Stockholder Meeting and the matters constituting the Stockholder Approval shall be submitted to the Company’s stockholders at the Stockholder Meeting whether or not (i) an Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred or (ii) any Acquisition Proposal or Superior Proposal shall have been publicly proposed or announced or otherwise submitted to the Company or any of its Representatives, unless (A) this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 8.01, (B) an Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred in response to a Superior Proposal that (I) provides for consideration to the Company’s stockholders consisting only of cash, (II) is not subject to any financing condition (and if financing is required, such financing is then fully committed to the Third Party that made the Superior Proposal at the time

46

the Adverse Recommendation Change Occurs), (III) is reasonably capable of being completed on the terms proposed without unreasonable delay and (IV) includes termination rights for the Third Party that made the Superior Proposal on terms no less favorable to the Company than the terms set forth in this Agreement, all from a Third Party capable of performing such terms, or (C) a Superior Proposal shall have been publicly proposed or announced or otherwise submitted to the Company or any of its Representatives that (I) provides for consideration to the Company’s stockholders consisting only of cash, (II) is not subject to any financing condition (and if financing is required, such financing is then fully committed to the Third Party that made the Superior Proposal), (III) is reasonably capable of being completed on the terms proposed without unreasonable delay and (IV) includes termination rights for the Third Party that made the Superior Proposal on terms no less favorable to the Company than the terms set forth in this Agreement, all from a Third Party capable of performing such terms. Unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 8.01, the Company agrees that it shall not submit to the vote of the stockholders of the Company any Acquisition Proposal (whether or not a Superior Proposal) prior to the vote of the Company’s stockholders with respect to the Merger at the Stockholder Meeting. The notice of such Stockholder Meeting shall state that a resolution to approve and adopt this Agreement and the Merger will be considered at the Stockholder Meeting, and no other matters shall be considered or voted upon at the Stockholder Meeting without Parent’s prior written consent (other than a non-binding, advisory vote to approve or disapprove certain compensation that may become payable to the Company’s named executive officers in connection with the completion of the Merger).

(b) Except to the extent expressly permitted by Section 6.03: (i) the Company Board (as it may be constituted on the date hereof) shall unanimously recommend that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the adoption and approval of this Agreement and approval of the Merger (the “Board Recommendation”) at the Stockholder Meeting; (ii) the Proxy Statement shall include the Board Recommendation; and (iii) neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall fail to make, withdraw, amend or modify, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Subsidiary, the Board Recommendation.

The Company and Parent, as the case may be, shall furnish all information concerning the Company or Parent as the other party hereto may reasonably request in connection with the preparation and filing with the SEC of the Proxy Statement. Parent and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Proxy Statement before such document (or any amendment or supplement thereto) is filed with the SEC, and the Company shall include in such document any comments reasonably proposed by Parent and its counsel. The Company shall as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof,

47

provide Parent and its counsel with copies of any written comments, and advise Parent and its counsel of any oral comments, with respect to the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) received from the SEC or its staff, provide Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review the Company’s proposed response to such comments, consider in good faith any comments reasonably proposed by Parent and its counsel, and provide Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to participate in any discussions or meetings with the SEC.

Section 6.03. No Solicitation.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not authorize or permit any of its Representatives to, and the Company shall instruct each such Representative not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly take any action to facilitate or encourage the submission of any Acquisition Proposal or the making of any inquiry, offer or proposal that could reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal (other than informing Persons of the provisions set forth in this Agreement); (ii) conduct or engage in any discussions or negotiations with, disclose any non-public information relating to the Company to, afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company to or otherwise cooperate in any way, or knowingly assist, participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort by, any Third Party that is seeking to make, or has made, any Acquisition Proposal; (iii) amend or grant any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of the Company; (iv) approve any transaction under, or any Third Party becoming an “interested stockholder” under, Section 203 of Delaware Law; or (v) enter into any agreement in principle, letter of intent, term sheet, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other Contract relating to any Acquisition Proposal or enter into any agreement or agreement in principle requiring the Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or breach its obligations hereunder, or resolve, propose or agree to do any of the foregoing. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the foregoing restrictions by any Representatives of the Company shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.03 by the Company. The Company shall and shall cause its Representatives to cease immediately and cause to be terminated, and shall not authorize or knowingly permit any of its Representatives to continue, any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Third Party conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any such Third Party (or its agents or advisors) in possession of non-public information in respect of the Company that was furnished by or on behalf of the Company to return or destroy (and confirm destruction of) all such information.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 6.03(a), prior to the Stockholder Approval, the Company Board, directly or indirectly through any Representative, may (i) engage in negotiations or discussions with any Third Party that has made in writing after the date of this Agreement (and not withdrawn) a bona fide unsolicited Acquisition Proposal that did not result from or arise out of a breach of this Section 6.03, and that the Company Board believes in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal and (ii) thereafter furnish to such Third Party non-public information relating to the Company pursuant to an executed confidentiality agreement with terms no less favorable

48

to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement and containing additional provisions that expressly permit the Company to comply with the terms of this Section 6.03 (a copy of which confidentiality agreement shall be promptly and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours of execution by the Company provided for informational purposes only to Parent), but in each case under the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), only if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company Board will not be in violation of this Section 6.03 if, in connection with the preceding clause (i), the Company and its Representatives contacts such Third Party or Third Parties solely to clarify the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal solely to determine whether it constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal.

(c) The Company Board shall not take any of the actions referred to in clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 6.03(b), unless the Company shall have notified Parent in writing at least one (1) Business Day before taking such action that it intends to take such action. The Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours) after it obtains knowledge of the receipt by the Company (or any of its Representatives) of any Acquisition Proposal, any inquiry, offer or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal. In such notice, the Company shall identify the Third Party making, and the terms and conditions of, any such Acquisition Proposal, indication, offer, proposal or request. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a prompt basis, of the status and material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, offer, proposal or request, including any material amendments or proposed amendments as to price and other material terms thereof. The Company shall promptly provide Parent with any non-public information concerning the Company’s business, present or future performance, financial condition or results of operations, provided to any Third Party that was not previously provided to Parent.

(d) Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) fail to make, withdraw, amend or modify, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Subsidiary, the Board Recommendation, (ii) approve, endorse, adopt or recommend, or publicly propose to approve, endorse, adopt or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal or Superior Proposal, (iii) fail to recommend against acceptance of any tender offer or exchange offer for the Company Common Stock within ten (10) Business Days after Parent so requests in writing, (iv) make any public statement inconsistent with the Board Recommendation or (v) resolve or agree to take any of the foregoing actions (any of the foregoing, an “Adverse Recommendation Change”). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, at any time prior to the Stockholder Approval,

(i) the Company Board, following receipt of and on account of a Superior Proposal, may make an Adverse Recommendation Change and terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(d)(i), but only if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law; provided, however, that the Company Board shall not make an Adverse Recommendation Change, unless (A) the Company promptly notifies Parent, in writing at least four (4) Business Days before making an Adverse

49

Recommendation Change (the “Notice Period”), of its intention to take such action with respect to a Superior Proposal, (B) the Company attaches to such notice the most current version of the proposed agreement or a reasonably detailed summary of all material terms of any such Superior Proposal (which version or summary shall be updated on a prompt basis) and the identity of the Third Party making the Superior Proposal, (C) the Company negotiates, and causes its financial and legal advisors to negotiate, during the Notice Period, with Parent in good faith and to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement that Parent, in its discretion, proposes; it being agreed that in the event that, after commencement of the Notice Period, there is any material revision to the terms of a Superior Proposal, including any revision in price, the Notice Period shall be extended, if applicable, to ensure that at least two (2) Business Days remains in the Notice Period subsequent to the time the Company notifies Parent of any such material revision (it being understood that there may be multiple extensions); and (D) the Company Board determines in good faith, after giving effect to the proposals made by Parent during such period, if any, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, that such Acquisition Proposal remains a Superior Proposal and the failure to make the Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(d)(i) would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under Applicable Law; and

(ii) the Company Board may, in response to a material fact, event, change, development or set of circumstances (other than an Acquisition Proposal occurring or arising after the date of this Agreement) that was not known to the Company Board nor reasonably foreseeable by the Company Board as of or prior to the date of this Agreement (and not relating in any way to any Acquisition Proposal) (such material fact, event, change, development or set of circumstances, an “Intervening Event”) make an Adverse Recommendation Change if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, that, in light of such Intervening Event, the failure of the Company Board to effect such an Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law; provided that no fact, event, change, development or set of circumstances shall constitute an Intervening Event if such fact, event, change, development or set of circumstances resulted from or arose out of the announcement, pendency or consummation of the Merger; provided, further, that the Company shall not be entitled to exercise its right to make an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this clause (ii) unless the Company has provided to Parent at least four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice advising Parent that the Company Board intends to take such action and specifying the facts underlying the Company Board’s determination that an Intervening Event has occurred, and the reasons for the Adverse Recommendation Change, in reasonable detail, and during such four (4) Business Day period, if requested by Parent, engaged in good faith negotiations with Parent to amend this Agreement in such a manner that obviates the need for an Adverse Recommendation Change as a result of the Intervening Event, if Parent, in its discretion, proposes to make such adjustments; it being agreed that in the event that, after commencement of the Notice Period, there are any material changes to the Intervening Event, the Notice Period shall be extended, if applicable, to ensure that at least two (2) Business Days remains in the Notice Period

50

subsequent to the time the Company notifies Parent of any such material revision (it being understood that there may be multiple extensions).

(e) Nothing contained in this Section 6.03 shall prevent the Company Board from complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act with regard to an Acquisition Proposal; provided that any such disclosure (other than a “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Section 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Company Board expressly publicly reaffirms its Board Recommendation (x) in such communication or (y) within two (2) Business Days after requested to do so by Parent.

Section 6.04. Access to Information. From the date hereof until the Effective Time, the Company shall give to Parent and its Representatives reasonable access to the offices, properties, books, records, Contracts, Governmental Authorizations, documents, directors, officers and employees of the Company during normal business hours, furnish to Parent and its Representatives such financial, Tax and operating data and other information as such Persons may reasonably request (including the work papers of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP upon receipt of any required consent from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP), and instruct its Representatives to cooperate with Parent and its Representatives in its investigation; provided, however, that the Company may restrict the foregoing access to the extent that any Applicable Law requires the Company to restrict or prohibit access to any such properties or information or such disclosure would, based on the advice of such party’s counsel, result in a waiver of attorney-client privilege, work-product doctrine or any other applicable privilege applicable to such information. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 6.04 shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Company.

Section 6.05. Notice of Certain Events.

(a) In connection with the continuing operation of the business of the Company between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, subject to Applicable Law, the executive officers of the Company, including but not limited to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, shall consult in good faith on a regular basis with Parent to report material (individually or in the aggregate) operational developments, the status of relationships with customers, resellers, partners, suppliers, licensors, licensees, distributors and others having material business relationships with the Company, the status of ongoing operations and other matters reasonably requested by Parent pursuant to procedures reasonably requested by Parent; provided that no such consultation shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or obligations of the parties (or remedies with respect thereto) or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement.

(b) The Company shall promptly notify Parent of:

(i) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

51

(ii) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(iii) any Proceeding commenced or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting the Company that, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant to Sections 4.12, 4.13 or 4.15 as the case may be, or that relate to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

(iv) any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty or breach of covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement at any time during the term hereof that could reasonably be expected to cause the conditions set forth in Section 7.02 not to be satisfied.

Section 6.06. 401(k) Plans. Effective as of the day immediately preceding the Effective Time, unless otherwise directed in writing by Parent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to effect the termination of the Company 401(k) Plan and shall provide Parent evidence that the Company 401(k) Plan has been terminated pursuant to an action by the Company Board. In the event that Parent requests that the Company’s 401(k) plan be terminated, Parent shall offer participation in Parent’s tax-qualified defined contribution plan not later than 120 days following the Effective Date to each Continuing Employee.

Section 6.07. Employee Benefit Plan Matters.

(a) For a period of one (1) year following the Effective Time, Parent shall provide, or cause to be provided, to those employees of the Company who are employed by the Company as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and who continue to be actively employed by the Surviving Corporation (or any Affiliate thereof) during such one-year period (the “Continuing Employees”) (i) base salary and base wages no less favorable than such base salary and base wages, (ii) short-term incentive compensation opportunities (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any equity-based compensation) no less favorable in the aggregate than such short-term incentive compensation opportunities and (iii) benefits (including severance benefits) no less favorable in the aggregate than such benefits, in each of the above clauses (i) (ii) and (iii), as provided to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement.

(b) From and after the Closing Date, with respect to Continuing Employees, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the service of each such Continuing Employee with the Company and its ERISA Affiliates prior to the Closing Date to be recognized for purposes of eligibility to participate, levels of benefits (but not for benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan) and vesting under each compensation, vacation, fringe or other welfare benefit plan, program or arrangement of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their ERISA Affiliates, but not including any equity compensation plans, programs, agreements or arrangements (collectively, the “Parent Benefit Plans”) in which any Continuing Employee is or becomes eligible to participate, but solely to the extent service was credited to such employee for such purposes under a comparable Company Employee Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date and to the extent such credit would not result in a duplication of benefits.

52

(c) From and after the Closing Date, with respect to each Parent Benefit Plan that is an “employee welfare benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA in which any Continuing Employee is or becomes eligible to participate, Parent shall use reasonable efforts to cause each such Parent Benefit Plan to waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, waiting periods, required physical examinations and exclusions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable under such Parent Benefit Plan for such Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents to the same extent that such pre-existing conditions, waiting periods, required physical examinations and exclusions would not have applied or would have been waived under the corresponding Company Employee Plan in which such Continuing Employee was a participant immediately prior to his commencement of participation in such Parent Benefit Plan but, with respect to long-term disability and life insurance benefits and coverage, solely to the extent permitted under the terms and conditions of Parent’s applicable insurance contracts in effect as of the Closing Date; provided that for purposes of clarity, to the extent such benefit coverage includes eligibility conditions based on periods of employment Section 6.07(a) shall control; and provide each Continuing Employee and their eligible dependents with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid in the calendar year that, and prior to the date that, such Continuing Employee commences participation in such Parent Benefit Plan in satisfying any applicable co-payment or deductible requirements under such Parent Benefit Plan for the applicable calendar year, to the extent that such expenses were recognized for such purposes under the comparable Company Employee Plan.

(d) In the event that the Closing occurs prior to the Company paying annual cash incentives in respect of 2019, Parent shall pay to each Continuing Employee a cash bonus in respect of 2019 in an amount equal to the cash bonus amount payable under the applicable Company annual cash incentive plan or program based on the greater of target or actual level of achievement of the applicable performance criteria, with such level of achievement (i) measured during the period from and including January 1, 2019 through and including the end of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which the Closing Date occurs; (ii) determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company Board in the ordinary course of business (including, without limitation, adjustments to account for non-recurring items), and without regard to any costs and expenses associated with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any non-recurring events that would not reasonably be expected to have affected the Company in the absence of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (iii) annualized, on a straight line basis, through the end of the quarter in which the Closing Date occurs. Such bonus amounts shall be paid, less any required withholding Taxes, on or about the date on which the Company would normally pay bonuses in the first calendar quarter of 2020 and in no event later than March 15, 2020 (or, if earlier, in accordance with the applicable Company severance policy or program or employment agreement upon a qualifying termination of employment occurring prior to such date).

(e) Parent, the Company and the Surviving Corporation acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 6.07 are included for the sole benefit of the respective parties to this Agreement and shall not create any right in any other Person, including any employees, former employees, any participant in any Company Employee Plan or any beneficiary thereof or any right to continued employment with Parent, Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates. Nothing in this Section 6.07 shall be deemed to amend any Parent Benefit Plan or to require Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates to continue or amend

53

any particular benefit plan before or after the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and any such plan may be amended or terminated in accordance with its terms and Applicable Law.

Section 6.08. State Takeover Laws. If any “control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “moratorium” or other anti-takeover Applicable Law becomes or is deemed to be applicable to the Company, Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement or the CVR Agreement, then each of the Company, Parent, Merger Subsidiary, and their respective Board of Directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to render such anti-takeover Applicable Law inapplicable to the foregoing.

Section 6.09. CVR Agreement. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall authorize and duly adopt, execute and deliver, and will ensure that a duly qualified Rights Agent executes and delivers, the CVR Agreement, subject to any reasonable revisions to the CVR Agreement that are requested by such Rights Agent (provided that such revisions are not, individually or in the aggregate, detrimental or adverse, taken as a whole, to any holder of a CVR). Parent and the Company shall cooperate, including by making changes to the form of CVR Agreement, as necessary to ensure that the CVRs are not subject to registration under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws.

Section 6.10. Obligations of Merger Subsidiary. Parent shall cause Merger Subsidiary to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and Parent shall be jointly and severally liable with Merger Subsidiary for the due and timely performance and satisfaction of each of its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 6.11. Voting of Shares. Parent shall vote any shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by it or any of its Subsidiaries in favor of adoption of this Agreement at the Stockholder Meeting, and will vote or cause to be voted the shares of Merger Subsidiary held by it or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, in favor of adoption of this Agreement.

Section 6.12. Director and Officer Liability.

(a) For six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain officers’ and directors’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time covering each such person currently covered by the Company’s officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof (with insurance carriers having at least an “A” rating by A.M. Best with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance); provided that in satisfying its obligation under this Section 6.12(a), neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of Four Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,800,000) (the “Maximum Premium”), and if such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed the Maximum Premium, then the Surviving

Corporation shall cause to be maintained policies of insurance that, in the Surviving Corporation’s judgment, provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to the Maximum Premium. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied if prepaid “tail” or “runoff” policies have been obtained by the Company prior to the Effective Time, which policies provide such directors and officers with coverage for an aggregate period of six (6) years with respect to claims arising from acts or omissions that occurred on or before the Effective Time, including, in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that the amount paid for such prepaid policies does not exceed the Maximum Premium.

55

any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Merger and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the undertakings pursuant to this Section 6.13, each of Parent and the Company shall provide or cause to be provided as promptly as practicable to Governmental Authorities with regulatory jurisdiction over enforcement of any Antitrust Laws (each such Governmental Authority, a “Governmental Antitrust Authority”) information and documents requested by any Governmental Antitrust Authority or necessary, proper or advisable to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including preparing and filing any notification and report form and related material required under the HSR Act and any additional consents and filings under any Antitrust Laws as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement (but in no event more than ten (10) Business Days from the date hereof except by mutual consent confirmed in writing) and thereafter to respond as promptly as practicable to any request for additional information or documentary material that may be made under the HSR Act and any additional consents and filings under any Antitrust Laws; and use their reasonable best efforts to take such actions as are necessary or advisable to obtain prompt approval of consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by any Governmental Authority.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall Parent or any of its Subsidiaries be obligated to litigate or participate in the litigation of any Proceeding, whether judicial or administrative, brought by any Governmental Authority or appeal any Order challenging or seeking to make illegal, delay materially or otherwise directly or indirectly restrain or prohibit the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or seeking to obtain from Parent or any of its Subsidiaries any damages in connection therewith, or seeking to prohibit or limit in any respect, or place any conditions on, the ownership or operation by the Company, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates of all or any portion of the business, assets or any product of the Company or Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or to require any such Person to dispose of, license (whether pursuant to an exclusive or nonexclusive license) or enter into a consent decree or hold separate all or any portion of the business, assets or any product of the Company or Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case as a result of or in connection with the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense of any Proceeding against the Company and/or its directors relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and will obtain the prior written consent of Parent prior to settling or satisfying any such Proceeding.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with the receipt of any necessary governmental approvals or clearances (including under any Antitrust Law), nothing in this Agreement shall require Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to, nor shall the Company without the prior written consent of Parent agree or proffer to, divest, hold separate, or enter into any license or similar agreement with respect to, or agree to restrict the ownership or operation of, or agree to conduct or operate in a specified manner, any portion of the business or assets of Parent, any of its Subsidiaries, or the Company.

56

(e) Subject to Applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, the Company and Parent and their respective counsel shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each shall consult the other on, any filing made with, or written materials to be submitted to, any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, promptly inform each other of any communication (or other correspondence or memoranda) received from, or given to, the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, or any other Governmental Antitrust Authority and promptly furnish each other with copies of all correspondence, filings and written communications between them or their subsidiaries or affiliates, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or its respective staff, on the other hand, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company and Parent shall, to the extent practicable, provide the other party and its counsel with advance notice of and the opportunity to participate in any discussion, telephone call or meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filing, investigation or other inquiry in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to participate in the preparation for such discussion, telephone call or meeting. Neither Parent nor the Company shall, without prior written consent of the other: (i) withdraw its filing under the HSR Act or any other applicable Foreign Competition Laws or (ii) commit to or agree with any Governmental Authority to stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act or applicable Foreign Competition Laws. The Company and Parent may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 6.13 as “Antitrust Counsel Only Material.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.13, materials provided to the other party or its counsel may be redacted to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company.

(f) Each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary agrees that, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall not, and shall ensure that none of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates shall, take any action or propose, announce an intention or agree, in writing or otherwise, to take any action that would reasonably be expected to materially delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 6.14. Certain Filings. The Company and Parent shall cooperate with one another in determining whether any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required, or any actions, consents, approvals or waivers are required to be obtained from parties to any material contracts, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and in taking such reasonable actions or making any such filings, furnishing information required in connection therewith or with the Proxy Statement and seeking timely to obtain any such actions, consents, approvals or waivers.

Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or making any other public statement, or scheduling a press conference or conference call with investors or analysts, with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not issue any such press release or make any such other public statement without the consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except (a) as such release or announcement may be required by Applicable Law or any listing agreement with or rule of any national securities exchange or association upon which the securities of the Company or Parent, as applicable, are

57

listed or (b) as such release or announcement may be made with respect to an Adverse Recommendation Change effected in accordance with Section 6.03. Except in the case of clause (b) above, the party making the release or announcement shall consult with the other party about, and allow the other party reasonable time (taking into account the circumstances) to comment on, such release or announcement in advance of such issuance, and the party will consider such comments in good faith.

Section 6.16. Further Assurances. At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Subsidiary, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Subsidiary, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

Each party hereto agrees that notice or the service of process in any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be properly served or delivered if delivered in the manner contemplated by Section 9.01 or in any other manner permitted by law.

Upon such a determination, the parties agree to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner, in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 9.12. Specific Performance.

OF

ACHILLION PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

(originally incorporated on August 5, 1998)

FIRST:    The name of the corporation (the “Corporation”) is Achillion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

SECOND:    The address of the registered office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware is 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, Delaware, 19801, County of New Castle, and the name of its registered agent at such address is The Corporation Trust Company.

THIRD:    The nature of the business or purposes to be conducted or promoted by the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

FOURTH:    The total number of shares of capital stock that the Corporation has the authority to issue shall be 2,000, consisting of 1,000 shares (each, a “Preferred Share”) of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Preferred Stock”) and 1,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”).

A.    COMMON STOCK

1.    General. The dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of the Common Stock are subject to and qualified by the rights, powers and preferences of the holders of the Preferred Stock set forth herein.

2.    Voting. The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held at all meetings of stockholders (and written actions in lieu of meetings).

B.    PREFERRED STOCK

The rights, preferences, powers, privileges and restrictions, qualifications and limitations granted and imposed on the Preferred Stock are as set forth below in this Part B of this Article Fourth. Unless otherwise indicated, references to “sections” or “subsections” in this Part B of this Article Fourth refer to sections and subsections of Part B of this Article Fourth.

1.    Dividends.

(a)    From and after the date of this Certificate of Incorporation, holders of the Preferred Shares, in preference to the holders of any other class or series of the Corporation’s stock (the “Junior Stock”), shall be entitled to receive cumulative dividends (accruing from and after the date of issuance of such Preferred Shares) at the rate of eight percent (8%) of the Preferred Share Price (as hereinafter defined), which shall compound annually on each outstanding Preferred Share whether or not such dividends are earned or declared and whether or not sufficient funds are legally available therefor (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and related transactions with respect to such shares).

(b)    So long as any Preferred Share shall be outstanding, no dividend, whether in cash or property, shall be paid or declared, nor shall any other distribution be made, on any Junior Stock, nor shall any shares of any Junior Stock of the Corporation be purchased, redeemed, or otherwise acquired for value by the Corporation or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof (except for acquisitions of Common Stock by the Corporation pursuant to agreements which permit the Corporation to repurchase such shares upon termination of services to the Corporation at a price per share determined in accordance with such agreements or upon the exercise of the Corporation’s right of first offer, if any, upon a proposed transfer) until all accrued dividends on the Preferred Shares shall have been paid.

2.    Liquidation.

(a)    Upon a Liquidation (as defined below), after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, the holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, out of the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, with respect to each Preferred Share, an amount (the “Preference Amount”) equal to the sum of (A) $50,000 (the “Preferred Share Price”) and (B) all accrued and unpaid dividends (subject to equitable adjustment as a result of any stock dividend, stock split, combination, reverse split, reclassification or similar event after the date of issuance of the first Preferred Share) before any distribution shall be made to the holders of the Common Stock, or any other class or series of Junior Stock of the Corporation. If upon any Liquidation the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of Preferred Shares the full Preference Amount to which they shall be entitled, the holders of Preferred Shares shall share pro rata in any distribution of assets in accordance with their respective Preference Amounts.

(b)    “Liquidation” means (i) any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, other than any dissolution, liquidation or winding up in connection with any reincorporation of the Corporation in another jurisdiction, or (ii) any Sale of the Corporation. “Sale of the Corporation” means (i) the sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets, (ii) the sale or transfer of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation, or (iii) the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with another person or entity, in each case in clauses (ii) and (iii) of this sentence above under circumstances in which the holders of the voting power of outstanding capital stock of the Corporation, immediately prior to such transaction, own less than 50% in voting power of the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation or the surviving or resulting corporation or acquirer, as the case may be, immediately following such transaction. A sale (or multiple related sales) of one or more subsidiaries of the Corporation (whether by way or merger, consolidation, reorganization or sale of all or substantially all assets or securities) which constitutes all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Corporation shall be deemed a Sale of the Corporation.

- 2 -

(c)    If any or all of the proceeds payable to the stockholders of the Corporation in connection with a Liquidation are in a form other than cash or marketable securities, the fair market value of such consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

(d)    Payments to Holders of Common Stock. In the event of a Liquidation, after the payment in full of all Preference Amounts required to be paid to the holders of Preferred Shares, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of shares of Common Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder.

3.    Redemption.

(a)    At any time after the three-year anniversary of the date of this Certificate of Incorporation, the Corporation may, at its option, and at any time, redeem, at the applicable Preference Amount (as determined in Section 2(a) above), all (but not less than all) of the Preferred Stock then outstanding. The Corporation shall give notice pursuant to this Section 3 to all of the holders of the then outstanding Preferred Shares at the address of each such holder appearing on the books of the Corporation or given by such holder to the Corporation for the purpose of notice.

(b)    Notice. If the Corporation elects to redeem the Preferred Shares in accordance with Section 3(a), the Corporation shall mail a notice of redemption (the “Redemption Notice”) to each holder of Preferred Shares, addressed to such stockholder at the address appearing on the books of the Corporation. The Redemption Notice shall include (i) the shares to be redeemed, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the redemption price and (iv) the place at which the stockholders may obtain payment of the redemption price upon surrender of their share certificates.

(c)    Cessation of Rights. If funds are available on the date fixed for a redemption of the Preferred Shares, then, whether or not the certificates representing the Preferred Shares which are to be redeemed are surrendered for payment of the applicable redemption price, the Preferred Shares which are redeemed shall no longer be outstanding and the holders thereof shall cease to be stockholders of the Corporation with respect to the Preferred Shares redeemed on or after the date fixed for redemption and shall be entitled only to receive the applicable redemption price for such redeemed shares, without interest, upon surrender of the certificates, representing the redeemed shares.

4.    Voting. No holder of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to any voting rights with respect to such Preferred Shares, except as required by law.

- 3 -

FIFTH:    In furtherance of and not in limitation of powers conferred by statute, it is further provided that:

(a)    Subject to the limitations and exceptions, if any, contained in the by-laws of the Corporation, such by-laws may be adopted, amended or repealed by the board of directors of the Corporation; and

(b)    Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless, and only to the extent, otherwise provided in the by-laws of the Corporation; and

(c)    Subject to any applicable requirements of law, the books of the Corporation may be kept outside the State of Delaware at such location or locations as may be designated by the board of directors of the Corporation or in the by-laws of the Corporation; and

(d)    Except as provided to the contrary in the provisions establishing a class of stock, the number of authorized shares of such class may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, voting as a single class.

SIXTH:    The Corporation shall indemnify each person who at any time is, or shall have been, a director or officer of the Corporation and was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding, to the maximum extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require the Corporation to indemnify or advance expenses to any person in connection with any action, suit, proceeding, claim or counterclaim initiated by or on behalf of such person (other than actions, suits, proceedings, claims or counterclaims to enforce such person’s rights to indemnification or advancement) unless such action, suit, proceeding, claim or counterclaim was authorized in the specific case by the board of directors of the Corporation. The foregoing right of indemnification shall in no way be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which any such director or officer may be entitled, under any by-law, agreement, vote of directors or stockholders or otherwise. No amendment to or repeal of the provisions of this Article SIXTH shall deprive a director or officer of the benefit hereof with respect to any act or failure to act occurring prior to such amendment or repeal. In furtherance of and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Corporation shall advance expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by an officer or director of the Corporation in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such advances if it shall be ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation.

- 4 -

SEVENTH:    No director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or to any of its stockholders for monetary damages arising out of such director’s breach of fiduciary duty as a director of the Corporation, except to the extent that the elimination or limitation of such liability is not permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. No amendment to or repeal of the provisions of this Article SEVENTH shall deprive any director of the Corporation of the benefit hereof with respect to any act or failure to act of such director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

EIGHTH:    The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and this Certificate of Incorporation, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which restates, integrates and amends the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation, and which has been duly adopted in accordance with Sections 228, 242 and 245 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, has been executed by its duly authorized officer this [    ] day of [                ].

CONTINGENT VALUE RIGHTS AGREEMENT

CONTINGENT VALUE RIGHTS AGREEMENT, dated as of [●], 20[    ] (this “Agreement”), by and between Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), [●], as rights agent (the “Rights Agent”), in favor of each person who from time to time holds one or more contingent value rights (the “CVRs”) to receive cash payments in the amounts and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

WHEREAS, this Agreement is entered into pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 15, 2019 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Achillion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Parent and Beagle Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation wholly owned by Parent (“Merger Subsidiary”), pursuant to which Merger Subsidiary will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”) with the Company surviving (the “Surviving Corporation”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein; 

WHEREAS, pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Parent has agreed to provide to the Holders of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”) and Holders of In the Money Options (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (the “Option Holders”) the right to receive the Regulatory Approval Milestone Payment and the Clinical Trial Milestone Payment (each, as defined below) during the Regulatory Approval Milestone Period and the Clinical Trial Milestone Period, respectively (each as defined below);

WHEREAS, pursuant to this Agreement, the potential amount payable per CVR with respect to the Regulatory Approval Milestone Payment is $1.00 in cash, without interest; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to this Agreement, the potential amount payable per CVR with respect to the Clinical Trial Milestone Payment is $1.00 in cash, without interest.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the consummation of the transactions referred to above, Parent and the Rights Agent agree, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders (as hereinafter defined), as follows:

ARTICLE 1

DEFINITIONS

Section 1.1    Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Merger Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Adaptive Trial” means a Clinical Trial that is designed to allow for a prospectively planned modification from a Phase II Clinical Trial to a Phase III Clinical Trial based on accumulating data from subjects in such Clinical Trial (as permitted by the FDA).

“Assignment Transaction” means any transaction (including a sale of assets, spin-off, split-off or licensing transaction), other than a Change in Control, pursuant to which (a) any rights of Parent or any of its Affiliates (including Intellectual Property rights) (i) necessary for

the development or commercialization of any Product or (ii) useful for the development or commercialization of any Product (other than, in the case of any useful but not necessary rights, to the extent that the applicable transaction would not reasonably be expected to result in a material delay in achievement of any of the Milestones) or (b) all or substantially all of the assets used or held for use in connection with any Product, in each case (in respect of the foregoing (a) and (b)) are, directly or indirectly, disposed of, sold, licensed, assigned, conveyed, or transferred to or acquired by any Person other than by Parent or any of Parent’s direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (such Person, the “Acquiror”). An “Assignment Transaction” shall not apply to (a) sales of a Product made by Parent or its Affiliates to distributors in the ordinary course, or ordinary course licensing arrangements between Parent and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and third party distributors, contract research organizations or contract manufacturers on the other hand, entered into in the ordinary course of business for purposes of developing, manufacturing, distributing and selling a Product, in each case, on Parent’s or its Affiliates’ behalf and (b) licenses granted by Parent or its Affiliates so long as Parent and its Affiliates retain any and all necessary rights and useful rights (other than, in the case of any useful but not necessary rights, to the extent that the applicable license would not reasonably be expected to result in a material delay in achievement of any of the Milestones) to develop and obtain approval by the FDA and any other applicable Regulatory Authority to market and sell the Products. For purposes of this definition, any delay that reasonably would be expected to result in failure to achieve any of the Milestones hereunder shall be deemed to be a “material delay.”

“Board of Directors” means the board of directors of Parent or any other body performing similar functions, or any duly authorized committee of that board. 

“Board Resolution” means a copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors that has been certified in writing by the chairman of the Board of Directors, the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, executive vice president, company secretary or a deputy company secretary of Parent to have been duly adopted by the Board of Directors and to be in full force and effect on the date of such certification, which has been delivered to the Rights Agent. 

“Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by Law or executive order to be closed in New York City.

“Change in Control” means (a) a merger or consolidation involving Parent in which Parent is not the surviving entity, (b) any transaction involving Parent in which Parent is the surviving entity but in which the stockholders of Parent immediately prior to such transaction own less than fifty percent (50%) of Parent’s voting power immediately after the transaction or (c) any sale of all or substantially all of Parent’s assets.

“Clinical Trial” means a clinical study of a pharmaceutical product conducted on human subjects.

“Clinical Trial Milestone” means, and will be deemed to occur upon, the earlier of (a) first dosing of the first patient with the Clinical Trial Product in the first Phase III Clinical Trial, (b) the Conversion Date for the first Converted Trial of the Clinical Trial Product (and, for clarity, the first dosing of the first patient in an Adaptive Trial prior to the Conversion Date shall not constitute dosing of a first patient in a Phase III Clinical Trial), and (c) the first submission of a new drug application to market and sell the Clinical Trial Product in the United States.

2

“Clinical Trial Milestone Payment” means $1.00 per CVR.

“Clinical Trial Milestone Period” means the period commencing as of the date of this Agreement and ending 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on that date that is four (4) years after the date of this Agreement.

“Clinical Trial Product” means any pharmaceutical product, including all forms, presentations, doses and formulations, containing the Company’s compound, ACH-5228 or any salt, free-base, hydrate, solvate, polymorph, isomer, enantiomer, metabolite, prodrug or other derivative thereof, whether as the sole active ingredient or in combination with other active ingredients.

“Commercially Reasonable Efforts” means, with respect to each Product, using such efforts and resources typically used by Parent for the development and commercialization of similar products at similar development stages taking into account, as applicable, such Product’s advantages and disadvantages, product profile, efficacy, safety, toxicity, tolerability, regulatory authority-approved labeling and pricing, the competitiveness of alternative products in the marketplace or under development, the current or future status as an orphan product, the patent coverage and proprietary position of such Product, the likelihood of development success or regulatory approval, the regulatory structure involved, the anticipated profitability of such Product, and other relevant scientific, technical and commercial factors typically considered in good faith by Parent in connection with such similar products. For clarity, Commercially Reasonable Efforts does not mean that either of Parent or any of its Affiliates guarantee either of the Milestones will be achieved or that either of the Milestones will be achieved by a specific date, and the fact that a Milestone is not actually achieved is not, in and of itself, dispositive evidence that Parent or any of its Affiliates did not in fact utilize its Commercially Reasonable Efforts in attempting to achieve such Milestone. For clarity, the application of Commercially Reasonable Efforts will not necessarily require Parent to disadvantage any particular currently available competing products or products currently under development by Parent or any of its Affiliates or which may in the future enter development by Parent or any of its Affiliates, the success of which may reduce the prospects of achieving the relevant Milestone. Any payments payable under this Agreement, including Milestone Payments, may not be taken into account in determining Commercially Reasonable Efforts.

“Conversion Date” means, with respect to a Converted Trial, the date when the first action specified in the protocol for the corresponding Adaptive Trial is taken following the decision to modify such Adaptive Trial to proceed as a Phase III Clinical Trial.

“Converted Trial” means an Adaptive Trial that is proceeding as a Phase III Clinical Trial following a prospectively planned modification from a Phase II Clinical Trial based on accumulating data from subjects in such Adaptive Trial.

“Opinion of Counsel” means a written opinion of counsel, who may be counsel for Parent or its direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries.

“Party” shall mean the Rights Agent, Parent and/or the Holder(s), as applicable. 

“Permitted Transfer” means a transfer of CVRs (a) upon death of a Holder by will or intestacy; (b) by instrument to an inter vivos or testamentary trust in which the CVRs are to be passed to beneficiaries upon the death of the trustee, (c) pursuant to a court order; (d) by operation of Law (including by consolidation or merger) or without consideration in connection with the dissolution, liquidation or termination of any corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other entity; or (e) in the case of CVRs payable to a nominee, from a nominee to a beneficial owner (and, if applicable, through an intermediary) or from such nominee to another nominee for the same beneficial owner, in each case to the extent allowable by The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).

“Regulatory Approval Milestone Payment” means $1.00 per CVR.

CONTINGENT VALUE RIGHTS

Section 2.1    CVRs. The CVRs represent the rights of Holders to receive contingent cash payments pursuant to this Agreement. The initial Holders shall be the (i) holders of Shares other than Dissenting Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) holders of Company Stock Options immediately prior to the Effective Time whose Company Stock Options are converted into the right to receive the Cash Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.06 of the Merger Agreement.

Section 2.2    Nontransferable. The CVRs may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or in any other manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part, other than through a Permitted Transfer. Any attempted sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, encumbrance or disposition of CVRs in whole or in part, that is not a Permitted Transfer, will be void ab initio and of no effect.

6

Section 2.3    No Certificate; Registration; Registration of Transfer; Change of Address.

(a)    The CVRs shall not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument.

(b)    The Rights Agent shall keep a register (the “CVR Register”) for the purpose of registering CVRs and Permitted Transfers. The CVR Register will initially show one position for Cede & Co. representing all Shares held by DTC on behalf of street name holders held by such holders as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. In the case of Option Holders, the CVRs shall be registered in the names and addresses of such Option Holder and in a denomination equal to the number of Shares subject to the outstanding number of Shares underlying the outstanding In the Money Options held by such Option Holder immediately prior to the Effective Time, and, in each case, as set forth in a schedule delivered by the Company to Parent (the “Equity Awards Schedule”). Except as otherwise provided herein, once registered on the CVR Register, such Option Holders shall be deemed “Holders” pursuant to this Agreement and entitled to all rights, and privileges and subject to all obligations under this Agreement. The Rights Agent hereby acknowledges the restrictions on transfer contained in Section 2.2 and agrees not to register a transfer which does not comply with Section 2.2.

(c)    Subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in Section 2.2, every request made to transfer a CVR must be in writing and accompanied by a written instrument of transfer and other requested documentation in form reasonably satisfactory to the Rights Agent pursuant to its customary policies and guidelines, duly executed by the Holder thereof, the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, the Holder’s personal representative or the Holder’s survivor, and setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances relating to the transfer. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Rights Agent shall, subject to its reasonable determination that the transfer instrument is in proper form and the transfer otherwise complies with the other terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 2.2), register the transfer of the CVRs in the CVR Register. Each of Parent and the Rights Agent may require payment, from any such Holder and any such transferee, of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other Tax or other charge of any nature whatsoever that is imposed by a Governmental Authority or Taxing Authority in connection with any such registration of transfer. Each of Parent and the Rights Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any action under any section of this Agreement that requires the payment by a Holder or a transferee of a CVR of applicable Taxes or charges unless and until each of Parent and the Rights Agent is satisfied that all such Taxes or charges have been paid by such Holder or such transferee. All duly transferred CVRs registered in the CVR Register shall be the valid obligations of Parent and shall entitle the transferee to the same benefits and rights under this Agreement as those held immediately prior to the transfer by the transferor. No transfer of a CVR shall be valid until registered in the CVR Register in accordance with this Agreement.

(d)    A Holder may make a written request to the Rights Agent to change such Holder’s address of record in the CVR Register. The written request must be duly executed by the Holder. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Rights Agent shall, subject to its reasonable determination that the written notice is in proper form, promptly record the change of address in the CVR Register.

Section 2.4    Payment Procedures.

(a)    If the Clinical Trial Milestone occurs at any time prior to the expiration of the Clinical Trial Milestone Period, then, on or prior to the applicable Milestone Payment Date, Parent will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Rights Agent (i) a certificate (a “Milestone Achievement Certificate”) certifying the date of the satisfaction of the Clinical Trial Milestone and that the Holders are entitled to receive the Clinical Trial Milestone Payment and (ii) a wire transfer of Dollars in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Rights Agent, in the aggregate amount equal to the number of CVRs (as reflected in the CVR Register) then outstanding multiplied by the amount of the Clinical Trial Milestone Payment (the “Aggregate Clinical Trial Milestone Payment”), provided that Parent may instead, at its discretion, pay directly to the Surviving Corporation the aggregate amount payable to all Option Holders. After receipt of the wire transfer described in the foregoing sentence, the Rights Agent will promptly (and in any event, within five (5) Business Days) pay (x) by one lump sum wire payment to DTC for any Holder who is a former street name holder of Shares, (y) by one lump sum wire payment to the Surviving Corporation for all Option Holders (unless Parent has paid such amount itself to the Surviving Corporation) and (z) for all other Holders, by check mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the address of each Holder set forth in the CVR Register or by other method of delivery as specified by the applicable Holder in writing to the Rights Agent (such amount in (x), (y) and (z) together, an amount in cash equal to Aggregate Clinical Trial Milestone Payment). The Rights Agent shall hold the Aggregate Clinical Trial Milestone Payment in a non-interest bearing account until such payment is made in accordance with the foregoing sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Parent be required to pay the Clinical Trial Milestone Payment more than once, and Parent shall not be required to pay the Clinical Trial Milestone Payment if the Clinical Trial Milestone occurs after the expiration of the Clinical Trial Milestone Period.

(b)    If the Regulatory Approval Milestone occurs at any time prior to the expiration of the Regulatory Approval Milestone Period, then, on or prior to the applicable Milestone Payment Date, Parent will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Rights Agent (i) a Milestone Achievement Certificate certifying the date of the satisfaction of the Regulatory Approval Milestone and that the Holders are entitled to receive the Regulatory Approval Milestone Payment and (ii) a wire transfer of Dollars of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Rights Agent, in the aggregate amount equal to the number of CVRs (as reflected in the CVR Register) then outstanding multiplied by the amount of the Regulatory Approval Milestone Payment (the “Aggregate Regulatory Approval Milestone Payment”, together with the Aggregate Clinical Trial Milestone Payment, the “Aggregate Milestone Payments”), provided that Parent may instead, at its discretion, pay directly to the Surviving Corporation the aggregate amount payable to all Option Holders. After receipt of the wire transfer described in the foregoing sentence, the Rights Agent will promptly (and in any event, within five (5) Business Days) pay (x) by one lump sum wire payment to DTC for any Holder who is a former street name holder of Shares, (y) by one lump sum wire payment to the Surviving Corporation for all Option Holders (unless Parent has paid such amount itself to the Surviving Corporation) and (z) for all other Holders, by check mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the address of each Holder set forth in the CVR Register or by other method of delivery as specified by the applicable Holder in writing to the Rights Agent (such amount in (x), (y) and (z) together, an amount in cash equal to Aggregate Regulatory Approval Milestone Payment). The Rights Agent shall hold the Aggregate Regulatory Approval Milestone Payment in a non-interest bearing account until such payment is made in accordance with the foregoing sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Parent be required to pay the Regulatory Approval Milestone Payment more than once and Parent shall not be required to pay the Regulatory Approval Milestone Payment if the Regulatory Approval Milestone occurs after the expiration of the Regulatory Approval Milestone Period.

(c)    Except in respect of the CVRs corresponding to In the Money Options (which such CVRs shall be subject to the Tax withholding provisions set forth in Section 2.08 of the Merger Agreement), each of Parent and the Rights Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from either of the Milestone Payments, if payable, such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the applicable Milestone Payment or CVR under the Code, and the rules and regulations thereunder, or any other applicable provision of state, local or foreign Law relating to Taxes, as may be reasonably determined by Parent or the Rights Agent. Prior to making any such deduction or withholding, other than ordinary course payroll withholding and reporting, if applicable, Parent or the Rights Agent, as applicable, shall solicit IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form W-8, or any other appropriate forms or information from each Holder in order to avoid or reduce such deduction and withholding, and the Milestone Payment may be reasonably delayed in order to gather such forms or information. Any amounts so deducted and withheld shall be timely remitted over to the relevant Governmental Authorities. To the extent such amounts are so deducted and withheld and timely remitted to the relevant Governmental Authorities, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. As required by applicable Law, Parent or the Rights Agent, as applicable, shall deliver to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid an original IRS Form 1099 or other reasonably acceptable evidence of such withholding.

(d)    Any portion of any Milestone Payment that remains undistributed to the Holders twelve (12) months after the date of the applicable Milestone Achievement Certificate shall be delivered by the Rights Agent to Parent, upon demand, and any Holder shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of such Milestone Payment, without interest, but such Holder shall have no greater rights against Parent than those accorded to general unsecured creditors of Parent under applicable Law.

(e)    Neither Parent nor the Rights Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any Milestone Payment delivered to a public official in compliance with any applicable state, federal or other abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. In addition to and not in limitation of any other indemnity obligation herein, Parent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Rights Agent with respect to any liability, penalty, cost or expense the Rights Agent may incur or be subject to in connection with transferring such property to Parent.

(f)    Except to the extent any portion of the Milestone Payment is required to be treated as imputed interest and except as otherwise required pursuant to applicable Law, the Parties hereto intend to treat the Milestone Payments payable with respect to Shares for all Tax purposes as consideration for the Shares, pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, report imputed interest on the CVRs as required by applicable Law.

9

Section 2.5    No Voting, Dividends or Interest; No Equity or Ownership Interest in Parent.

(a)    The CVRs will not have any voting or dividend rights, and interest will not accrue on any amounts payable on the CVRs to any Holder.

(b)    The CVRs will not represent any equity or ownership interest in Parent or in any constituent company to the Merger or any of their respective Affiliates.

The Rights Agent shall also be entitled to reimbursement from Parent for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by it in connection with the administration by the Rights Agent of its duties hereunder; and

If Parent fails to send such notice within ten (10) Business Days after acceptance of appointment by a successor Rights Agent, the successor Rights Agent shall cause the notice to be mailed at the expense of Parent.

(d)    In connection with any resignation or removal, the Rights Agent will cooperate with Parent and any successor Rights Agent in connection with the transition of the duties and responsibilities of the Rights Agent to the successor Rights Agent, including transferring the CVR Register to the successor Rights Agent.

Each Party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court in respect of any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, as a defense in any such action, suit or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that the action, suit or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the action, suit or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each Party hereto agrees that notice or the service of process in any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be properly served or delivered if delivered in the manner contemplated by Section 6.2 or in any other manner permitted by law.

Parent and the Rights Agent hereby agree that the respective covenants and agreements set forth herein are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Majority Holders, who are intended third-party beneficiaries hereof. Parent and the Rights Agent further agree that this Agreement and their respective covenants and agreements set forth herein are solely for the benefit of Parent, the Rights Agent, the Holders and their respective permitted successors and assigns hereunder in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, will confer upon any Person other than Parent, the Rights Agent, the Holders and their permitted successors and assigns hereunder any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim hereunder. Except for the right of the Rights Agent set forth herein, the Majority Holders will have the sole right, on behalf of all Holders, by virtue of or under any provision of this Agreement, to institute any action or proceeding at Law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, and no individual Holder or other group of Holders will be entitled to exercise such rights. The Parties hereto hereby agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies will not be an adequate remedy for any such damages. Accordingly, the Parties hereto acknowledge and hereby agree that in the event of any breach by Parent or Assignee (as such term is defined below), on the one hand, or the Rights Agent or the Majority Holders, on the other hand, of any of their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, Parent or Assignee, on the one hand, and the Rights Agent or the Majority Holders, on the other hand, shall be entitled to (and the other Party will not oppose) an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches of this Agreement, by the other(s) (as applicable), and to specific enforcement of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

Section 6.9    Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such a determination, the Parties agree to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner, in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 6.10    Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable provided, however, that (a) Parent may assign this Agreement to a Person (each such Person, an “Assignee”) (i) which is a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent; provided that Parent remains jointly and severally liable, (ii) with the prior consent of the Majority Holders, whether evidenced in writing or taken at a meeting of the Holders, or (iii) in connection with a transaction involving an Assignment Transaction conducted in compliance with Section 4.3 and (b) the Rights Agent may assign this Agreement to a successor Rights Agent appointed in accordance with Section 3.3.

Section 6.11    Benefits of Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Holder may at any time agree to renounce, in whole or in part, whether or not for consideration, such Holder’s rights under this Agreement by written notice to the Rights Agent and Parent, which notice, if given, shall be irrevocable. Parent may, in its sole discretion, at any time, offer consideration to Holders in exchange for their agreement to irrevocably renounce their rights hereunder.

18

Section 6.12    Legal Holidays. In the event that any Milestone Payment Date shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made, without the accrual of any additional interest thereon on account of such Milestone Payment Date not being a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Milestone Payment Date.

Section 6.13    Interpretation; Construction.

(a)    The table of contents and headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof.

(b)    The Parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

GENERAL RELEASE

Last	First
Employee’s Last Name	First Name	Middle Initial

I, the undersigned, am executing and delivering this Agreement in connection with that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of [_________], 2019 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and [Beagle Merger Sub, Inc.], a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Subsidiary”), pursuant to which Merger Subsidiary will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”) with the Company to survive the Merger and become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. As a condition to its willingness to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Parent has required that I enter into this Agreement.

In consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth in the Merger Agreement and in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the acceleration of my unvested Company Stock Options for which I was otherwise not entitled), and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, I hereby confirm my understanding and agreement, as follows:

1. Definition. For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Company” means and includes Achillion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and all of its current, past and future successors, subsidiaries, affiliates and assigns, including without limitation Merger Subsidiary and Parent. Any capitalized term used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Merger Agreement.

2. Release.

(a) Effective as of the Effective Time, in consideration for the right to receive the payment provided for in the Merger Agreement (including, without limitation, the acceleration of my unvested Company Stock Options), I acknowledge and agree, on behalf of myself and, if and only to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, each of my agents, trustees, beneficiaries, directors, officers, controlled Affiliates, subsidiaries, estate, successors, assigns, members and partners (each, a “Releasing Party”) that I irrevocably and unconditionally release (i) Parent, (ii) the Company; (iii) each person or entity that is an Affiliate of the Company or Parent; and (iv) the successors and past, present and future assigns, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and representatives of the respective Persons identified or otherwise referred to in any of clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this Section 2 (collectively, the “Releasees”) from and after the Effective Time from any and all past, present or future dispute, claim, controversy, demand, right, obligation, liability, action or cause of action of any kind or nature, including: (A) any unknown, unsuspected or undisclosed claim; and (B) any claim or right that may be asserted or exercised by the Releasing Party or any Affiliate of the Releasing Party, but in case of each of clauses (A) and (B), only to the extent relating to or arising (directly or indirectly) out of any act, omission or event occurring prior to the Closing, including without limitation any claims relating to employment with the Company and any claims relating to the my ownership of Company Common Stock or Company Stock Options, or any securities

Page 1 of 5

convertible or exchangeable for Company Common Stock or any actual or promised grants of any of the foregoing (collectively, “Claims”); provided that I am not releasing any of my rights (and the Releasees are not hereby released from any of their obligations) under or relating to (I) the Merger Agreement, or any other agreement entered into in connection with the Merger Agreement, including, the right to receive payments under the Merger Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection with the Merger Agreement, (II) any vested rights under any employee benefits plans and any accrued obligations as to salaries, wages, accrued vacation, commissions, or reimbursable expenses, and (III) any obligations of the Releasees to indemnify any officer or director of the Company in their capacity as such and any rights with respect to any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy maintained by the Company.

(b) I (on my own behalf and if and only to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, on behalf of the my Affiliates) hereby waive the benefits of, and any rights that I or any of the my Affiliates may have under, any statute or common law regarding the release of unknown Claims in any jurisdiction. I acknowledge that I have read Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California that provides as follows:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

I hereby waive any right or benefit relating to a Claim that I have or may have under Section 1542 of the Civil Code, any similar law of any other jurisdiction, or any common law principles of similar effect, to the full extent that I may lawfully waive all such rights and benefits pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement. I acknowledge that I or my representatives may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different from those that I now know or believe to exist with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, but that it is my intention in executing this Agreement to fully, finally and forever settle and release all of the matters released herein in respect of a Claim. In furtherance of this intention, the release herein granted shall be and remain in effect notwithstanding the discovery of any such additional or different claim or fact.

(c) The release pursuant to this Section 2 is conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger as contemplated in the Merger Agreement, and shall become null and void, and shall have no effect whatsoever, without any action on the part of any Person, upon termination of the Merger Agreement for any reason.

3. Severability and Interpretation. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall nonetheless be enforceable according to their terms. Further, in the event that any provision is held to be overbroad as written, such provision shall be deemed amended to narrow its application to the extent necessary to make the provision enforceable according to applicable law and enforced as amended.

Page 2 of 5

4. Waiver. The Company’s waiver or failure to enforce the terms of this Agreement or any similar agreement in one instance shall not constitute a waiver of its rights hereunder with respect to other violations of this or any other agreement. In addition, any amendment to or modification of this Agreement or any waiver of any provision hereof must be in writing and signed by the Company.

5. Notices. Any notice which the Company is required or may desire to give to me shall be given to me by personal delivery or registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to me at the address of record with the Company, or at such other place as I may from time to time designate in writing. Any notice which I am required or may desire to give to the Company hereunder shall be given by personal delivery or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the Company’s General Counsel at the Company’s principal office, or at such other office as the Company may from time to time designate in writing. The date of personal delivery or the dates of mailing any such notice shall be deemed to be the date of delivery thereof.

6. Acquiescence in Injunction. I understand that if I violate any provision of this Agreement the Company will be irreparably harmed and will have no adequate remedy at law. The Company shall have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to obtain in any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach of, or otherwise to specifically enforce, this Agreement.

7. Governing Law. This Agreement and any disputes arising under or in connection with it shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such state. I hereby submit for the sole purpose of this Agreement and any dispute arising under or in connection with it to the jurisdiction of the courts located in the State of Delaware, and hereby waive any objection (on the grounds of lack of jurisdiction or forum non conveniens or otherwise) to the exercise of such jurisdiction over me by any such courts.

8. Survival. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date entered below. My obligations under this Agreement shall survive the termination of my employment regardless of the manner of such termination and shall be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives.

9. Assignment. The Company shall have the right to assign this Agreement to its successors and assigns, and all covenants and agreements hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by said successors or assigns. I will not assign this Agreement.

10. Other Agreements. If I have signed or do sign other agreements with the Company relating to any subject matter in this Agreement, the Company’s benefits and protections under each such agreement will be given full force and effect and will be interpreted to provide the Company with cumulative rights and remedies such that the terms most protective of the Company’s interests are enforced.

11. Compliance. If requested by the Company, I agree to submit a written declaration or affidavit affirming my compliance with this Agreement, under penalty of perjury.

12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, including by electronic delivery, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall be taken together and deemed to be one instrument.

13. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. ANY ACTION, DEMAND, CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE ALONE AND EACH OF THE COMPANY AND I WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL THEREOF.

GENERAL RELEASE, NONDISCLOSURE, ASSIGNMENT OF INVENTIONS

AND POST-EMPLOYMENT COVENANTS AGREEMENT

Last	First
Employee’s Last Name	First Name	Middle Initial

I, the undersigned, recognize the importance of protecting the Company’s rights and legitimate interests in its ideas, inventions, discoveries, trade secrets, confidential information and good will and, further, recognize that execution of this Agreement is an express condition of my employment.

I also am executing and delivering this Agreement in connection with that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of [_________], 2019 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and [Beagle Merger Sub, Inc.], a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Subsidiary”), pursuant to which Merger Subsidiary will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”) with the Company to survive the Merger and become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. As a condition to its willingness to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Parent has required that I enter into this Agreement.

In consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth in the Merger Agreement and in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the acceleration of my unvested Company Stock Options for which I was otherwise not entitled), and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, I hereby confirm my understanding and agreement, as follows:

1. Definition. For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Company” means and includes Achillion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and all of its current, past and future successors, subsidiaries, affiliates and assigns, including without limitation Merger Subsidiary and Parent. Any capitalized term used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Merger Agreement.

2. Covenant Not to Disclose.

(a) I agree that I will not, at any time during or after the termination of my employment with the Company, regardless of the reason for my termination, and except as otherwise permitted by Section 5 below, communicate, disclose or otherwise make available to any person or entity (other than the Company), or use for my account (except in the course of my employment with the Company) or for the benefit of any other person or entity, directly or indirectly, unless authorized by the Company in writing, any information or materials proprietary to the Company that relates to the Company’s business, organization, finances or affairs which is of a confidential nature, including, but not limited to, trade secrets, technical, scientific or other secrets, information or materials relating to existing or proposed pharmaceutical products (in all and various stages of development), business plans, suppliers, licensors, licensees, investors, affiliates, inventions, designs, methods, techniques, systems, processes, data, software programs, software code, “know-how”, marketing information and materials, marketing and

Page 1 of 12

development plans, customer lists and other customer information (including current prospects), price lists, pricing policies, personnel information obtained because of my duties and responsibilities, training methods and materials and financial information (collectively, “Proprietary Information”). Proprietary Information includes any and all such information and materials, whether or not obtained by me with the knowledge and permission of the Company, whether or not developed, devised or otherwise created in whole or in part by my efforts, and whether or not a matter of public knowledge unless as a result of authorized disclosure. I further agree that I will retain such knowledge and information which I acquire and develop during my employment respecting such Proprietary Information in trust for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns, and except as otherwise permitted by Section 5 below, shall not use or attempt to use any Proprietary Information except as may be required in the ordinary course of performing my duties as a Company employee or use any proprietary information in any manner that may injure or cause loss or may be calculated to injure or cause loss to the Company, whether directly or indirectly.

(b) The provisions of this Paragraph shall apply to Proprietary Information obtained by the Company from any third party.

3. Inventions.

(a) If at any time or times during my employment, I shall (either alone or with others) make, conceive, create, discover, invent or reduce to practice any Development that (i) relates to the business of the Company or any customer of or supplier to the Company or any of the products or services being developed, manufactured or sold by the Company or which may be used in relation therewith; or (ii) results from tasks assigned to me by the Company; or (iii) results from the use of premises or personal property (whether tangible or intangible) owned, leased or contracted for by the Company, then all such Developments and the benefits thereof are and shall immediately become the sole and absolute property of the Company and its assigns, as “works made for hire” pursuant to the United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. Section 101) or otherwise. The term “Development” shall mean any invention, idea, creation, modification, discovery, design, development, improvement, biological or other process, cell line, lab notebook, software program, work of authorship, documentation, formula, data, technique, know-how, trade secret or intellectual property right whatsoever or any interest therein (whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright, trademark or similar statutes or subject to analogous protection). I shall promptly disclose to the Company (or any persons designated by it) each such Development. I hereby assign all rights (including, but not limited to, rights to inventions, patentable subject matter, copyrights and trademarks), title and interest that I may have or may acquire in the Developments and all benefits and/or rights resulting therefrom to the Company and its assigns without further compensation and shall communicate, without cost or delay, and without disclosing to others the same, all available information relating thereto (with all necessary plans and models) to the Company.

(b) I agree that I will promptly disclose to the Company all ideas, inventions, discoveries and improvements (including, but not limited to, those which are or may be patentable or subject to copyright protection) which I make, originate, conceive or reduce to practice during my employment with the Company and which relate directly or indirectly

Page 2 of 12

to the business of the Company or to work or investigations done for the Company (collectively, “Inventions”). All Inventions shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company, and I hereby assign to the Company all rights therein, except as may otherwise be specifically agreed by the Company in writing. I further represent that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, none of the Developments will violate or infringe upon any right, patent, copyright, trademark or right of privacy, or constitute libel or slander against or violate any other rights of any person, firm or corporation, and that I will use my best efforts to prevent any such violation.

(c) In order that the Company may protect its rights in the Inventions, I will make adequate written records of all Inventions, which records shall be the Company’s property; and, both during and after termination of my employment with the Company, I will, without charge to the Company but at its request and expense, sign all papers, including forms of assignment, and render any other proper assistance necessary or desirable to transfer or record the transfer to the Company of my entire right, title and interest in and to the Inventions, and for the Company to obtain, maintain and enforce patents, copyrights, trade secrets or other protections thereon or with respect thereto (as the case may be) throughout the world.

(d) I represent that the Developments identified in the Appendix, if any, attached hereto comprise all the Developments that I have made or conceived prior to my employment by the Company, which Developments are excluded from this Agreement. I understand that it is only necessary to list the title of such Developments and the purpose thereof but not details of the Development itself. IF THERE ANY SUCH DEVELOPMENTS TO BE EXCLUDED, THE UNDERSIGNED SHOULD INITIAL HERE, OTHERWISE IT WILL BE DEEMED THAT THERE ARE NO SUCH EXCLUSIONS. ____________

(e) The obligations contained in this Paragraph 3 shall continue beyond the termination of my employment with respect to Inventions (whether patentable or copyrightable or not) conceived or made by me during the period of my employment.

(f) With respect to any Developments, and work of any similar nature (from any source), whenever created, which I have not prepared or originated in the performance of my employment, but which I provide to the Company or incorporate in any Company product or system, I hereby grant to the Company a royalty-free, fully paid-up, non-exclusive, perpetual and irrevocable license throughout the world to use, modify, create derivative works from, disclose, publish, translate, reproduce, deliver, perform, dispose of, and to authorize others so to do, all such Developments. I will not include in any Developments I deliver to the Company or use on its behalf, without the prior written approval of the Company, any material which is or will be patented, copyrighted or trademarked by me or others unless I provide the Company with the written permission of the holder of any patent, copyright or trademark owner for the Company to use such material in a manner consistent with then-current Company policy.

Page 3 of 12

(g) By this Agreement, I irrevocably constitute and appoint the Company as my agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing, in my name and on my behalf, such instruments or other documents as may be necessary to transfer, confirm and perfect in the Company the rights I have granted to the Company in this Paragraph 3 and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of patent, copyright or trademark registrations or any other legal protection thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me.

4. Covenant to Report; Documents and Tangible Property. I will promptly communicate and disclose to the Company all observations made and data obtained by me in the course of my employment by the Company and shall not make, use or permit to be used (at any time) any Company Property otherwise than for the benefit of the Company. “Company Property” shall include all written materials, records, documents and other tangible property made by me or coming into my possession during my employment concerning the business or affairs of the Company, including, but not limited to, any Proprietary Information and/or any Inventions which are conceived or generated by me. All Company Property shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company and, upon the termination of my employment (or at such earlier time as the Company may request me to do so), I will promptly deliver the same, in my possession, custody or control, to the Company or to any party designated by it, without retaining any copies, notes or excerpts thereof. I agree to render to the Company, or to any party designated by it, such reports of the activities undertaken by me or conducted under my direction during my employment as the Company may request.

5. Scope of Disclosure Restrictions. I understand and acknowledge that nothing in this Agreement prohibits me from communicating with government agencies about possible violations of federal, state, or local laws or otherwise providing information to government agencies or participating in government agency investigations or proceedings, and that I am not required to notify the Company of any such communications; provided, however, that nothing herein authorizes the disclosure of information I obtained through a communication that was subject to the attorney-client privilege. Further, notwithstanding my confidentiality and nondisclosure obligations, I understand that, and the Company is hereby advising me as follows, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act: “An individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (A) is made (i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual (A) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (B) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.”

Page 4 of 12

6. Post-Employment Covenants to the Company. In order to protect the Company’s interests in its Proprietary Information, Inventions, Developments, Company Property, and its relationship with its employees, independent contractors and its customers and suppliers, I hereby agree to the following covenants, which I recognize are narrowly tailored to protect these legitimate Company interests.

(a) Covenant Not to Compete. I shall not during my employment with the Company and for a period of one year following the termination of my employment for any reason engage in, or assist others in engaging in, or participate in the formation of, any business or enterprise (whether as owner, partner, officer, director, employee, consultant, investor, lender or otherwise, except as the holder of not more than 1% of the outstanding stock of a publicly-held company) that is, or is about to become, competitive with Achillion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s business as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, including but not limited to any business or enterprise that researches, develops, manufactures, distributes, markets, licenses, sells, commercializes or provides any product that competes with any product developed, manufactured, marketed, licensed, sold or provided, or planned to be developed, manufactured, marketed, licensed, sold or provided, by Achillion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. while I was employed by the Company.

(b) Covenant Not to Solicit or Interfere

(i) I shall not during my employment with the Company and for a period of one year following the termination of my employment for any reason, either alone or in association with others (x) solicit, induce or attempt to induce, any employee or independent contractor of the Company to terminate his or her employment or other engagement with the Company, or (y) recruit or attempt to recruit, or engage or attempt to engage, any person who was employed or otherwise engaged by the Company at any time during the term of my employment with the Company; provided, that this clause (y) shall not apply to the recruitment or hiring or other engagement of any individual whose employment or other engagement with the Company has been terminated for a period of six months or longer.

(ii) I shall not during my employment with the Company and for a period of one year following the termination of my employment for any reason solicit, divert or appropriate, or attempt to solicit, divert or appropriate, the business of any customer or potential customer of the Company as an individual on my own account, as a stockholder, principal, partner or joint venturer, as the owner of an interest in, or as a director or officer of, any entity, as an employee, agent, salesman, contractor or consultant of any person or entity, or otherwise.

(iii) I shall not during my employment with the Company and for a period of one year following the termination of my employment for any reason interfere or attempt to interfere with the relationship of the Company with any person or entity which at any time during my employment with the Company was an employee, licensee, sales agent or sales representative (or employee thereof), or customer, potential customer or vendor of, or supplier or licensor to, or in the habit of dealing with, the Company, as an individual on my own account, as a partner or joint venturer, as the owner of an interest in, or as a director or officer of, any entity, as an employee, agent, salesman, contractor or consultant of any person or entity, or otherwise.

(iv) I shall not during my employment with the Company and for a period of one year following the termination of my employment for any reason employ or in any manner solicit, induce or attempt to solicit or induce any licensee, sales agent or sales representative (or any employee thereof) of, or any vendor, supplier or licensor to, the Company, or any such person and/or entity whose

Page 5 of 12

association with the Company has terminated within six (6) months prior to or after my termination with the Company, to terminate his or its association with the Company, or otherwise interfere with the relationship of the Company with any such person or entity, whether for my own account or the account or the account of any other person or entity.

7. Release.

(a) Effective as of the Effective Time, in consideration for the right to receive the payment provided for in the Merger Agreement (including, without limitation, the acceleration of my unvested Company Stock Options), I acknowledge and agree, on behalf of myself and, if and only to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, each of my agents, trustees, beneficiaries, directors, officers, controlled Affiliates, subsidiaries, estate, successors, assigns, members and partners (each, a “Releasing Party”) that I irrevocably and unconditionally release (i) Parent, (ii) the Company; (iii) each person or entity that is an Affiliate of the Company or Parent; and (iv) the successors and past, present and future assigns, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and representatives of the respective Persons identified or otherwise referred to in any of clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this Section 7 (collectively, the “Releasees”) from and after the Effective Time from any and all past, present or future dispute, claim, controversy, demand, right, obligation, liability, action or cause of action of any kind or nature, including: (A) any unknown, unsuspected or undisclosed claim; and (B) any claim or right that may be asserted or exercised by the Releasing Party or any Affiliate of the Releasing Party, but in case of each of clauses (A) and (B), only to the extent relating to or arising (directly or indirectly) out of any act, omission or event occurring prior to the Closing, including without limitation any claims relating to employment with the Company and any claims relating to the my ownership of Company Common Stock or Company Stock Options, or any securities convertible or exchangeable for Company Common Stock or any actual or promised grants of any of the foregoing (collectively, “Claims”); provided that I am not releasing any of my rights (and the Releasees are not hereby released from any of their obligations) under or relating to (I) the Merger Agreement, or any other agreement entered into in connection with the Merger Agreement, including, the right to receive payments under the Merger Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection with the Merger Agreement, (II) any vested rights under any employee benefits plans and any accrued obligations as to salaries, wages, accrued vacation, commissions, or reimbursable expenses, and (III) any obligations of the Releasees to indemnify any officer or director of the Company in their capacity as such and any rights with respect to any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy maintained by the Company.

I acknowledge that I have read Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California that provides as follows:

I hereby waive any right or benefit relating to a Claim that I have or may have under Section 1542 of the Civil Code, any similar law of any other jurisdiction, or any common law principles of similar effect, to the full extent that I may lawfully waive all such rights and benefits pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement. I acknowledge that I or my representatives may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different from those that I now know or believe to exist with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, but that it is my intention in executing this Agreement to fully, finally and forever settle and release all of the matters released herein in respect of a Claim. In furtherance of this intention, the release herein granted shall be and remain in effect notwithstanding the discovery of any such additional or different claim or fact.

(c) The release pursuant to this Section 7 is conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger as contemplated in the Merger Agreement, and shall become null and void, and shall have no effect whatsoever, without any action on the part of any Person, upon termination of the Merger Agreement for any reason.

8. Severability and Interpretation. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall nonetheless be enforceable according to their terms. Further, in the event that any provision is held to be overbroad as written, such provision shall be deemed amended to narrow its application to the extent necessary to make the provision enforceable according to applicable law and enforced as amended.

9. Waiver. The Company’s waiver or failure to enforce the terms of this Agreement or any similar agreement in one instance shall not constitute a waiver of its rights hereunder with respect to other violations of this or any other agreement. In addition, any amendment to or modification of this Agreement or any waiver of any provision hereof must be in writing and signed by the Company.

10. Notices. Any notice which the Company is required or may desire to give to me shall be given to me by personal delivery or registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to me at the address of record with the Company, or at such other place as I may from time to time designate in writing. Any notice which I am required or may desire to give to the Company hereunder shall be given by personal delivery or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the Company’s General Counsel at the Company’s principal office, or at such other office as the Company may from time to time designate in writing. The date of personal delivery or the dates of mailing any such notice shall be deemed to be the date of delivery thereof.

11. Acquiescence in Injunction. I understand that if I violate any provision of this Agreement the Company will be irreparably harmed and will have no adequate remedy at law. The Company shall have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to obtain in any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach of, or otherwise to specifically enforce, this Agreement.

12. No Conflicting Agreements; Disclosure to Future Employers. I represent and warrant to the Company that I am not subject to any restrictions on my ability to grant to the Company the rights referred to in this Agreement, and that I have not previously assumed any obligations inconsistent with those of this Agreement. I further represent, warrant and covenant to the Company that I am in compliance and shall remain in compliance with any and all obligations previously assumed by me to any third party with respect to nondisclosure and assignment of inventions. I have not entered into, and I will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral in conflict herewith. I will provide, and the Company, in its discretion, may similarly provide, a copy of the covenants contained in this Agreement to any business or enterprise which I may directly or indirectly own, manage, operate, finance, join, control or in which I may participate in the ownership, management, operation, financing, or control, or with which I may be connected as an officer, director, employee, partner, principal, agent, representative, consultant or otherwise. During the one-year period following the termination of my employment for any reason, I agree that if there is a reasonable possibility that my compliance with the terms of this Agreement may be at risk by providing services to another person or entity, then I will promptly, and in advance of providing any such services: (i) notify that person or entity of my obligations under this Agreement, and provide them a copy of this Agreement; and (ii) notify the Company’s General Counsel in writing of the identity of the person or entity and a description of the services to be provided by me. The Company has the right, at any time, to notify any third party of this Agreement and any alleged violations.

13. Governing Law. This Agreement and any disputes arising under or in connection with it shall be governed by the laws of the [Commonwealth of Pennsylvania / State of Connecticut], without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such state. I hereby submit for the sole purpose of this Agreement and any dispute arising under or in connection with it to the jurisdiction of the courts located in the [Commonwealth of Pennsylvania / State of Connecticut], and hereby waive any objection (on the grounds of lack of jurisdiction or forum non conveniens or otherwise) to the exercise of such jurisdiction over me by any such courts.

14. Survival. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date entered below. My obligations under this Agreement shall survive the termination of my employment regardless of the manner of such termination and shall be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives.

15. Assignment. The Company shall have the right to assign this Agreement to its successors and assigns, and all covenants and agreements hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by said successors or assigns. I will not assign this Agreement.

16. Cooperation. During my employment with the Company and after my employment ends, I agree to provide such information as the Company may reasonably request with respect to any transaction or other matter in which I was involved in any way during my employment. I further agree to assist and cooperate with the Company in connection with the defense, prosecution, government investigation, or internal investigation of any claim or matter that may be made against, concerning, or by the Company. Such assistance and cooperation shall include timely, comprehensive, and truthful disclosure of all relevant facts known to me, including through in-person interview(s) with the Company’s internal Legal Department or outside counsel. The Company will provide reimbursement for all properly documented reasonable expenses incurred in connection with rendering services under this Section 16, including, but not limited to, reimbursement for all reasonable travel, lodging, and meal expenses.

17. Nondisparagement. I agree that I will not do or say anything that disparages the Company, or any of their officers, directors or employees, or reflects negatively on them, or encourages any adverse action against them, except to the extent required by Applicable Law or as permitted by Section 5 above.

18. At-Will Employment. My employment with the Company is terminable at will by the Company and/or me for any reason, with or without cause or notice, and without following any specific procedures. Nothing in this Agreement alters this at-will relationship, which may only be changed by a written employment contract signed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

19. Employment Changes. This Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any changes to my position, title or primary work location.

20. Other Agreements. If I have signed or do sign other agreements with the Company relating to any subject matter in this Agreement, the Company’s benefits and protections under each such agreement will be given full force and effect and will be interpreted to provide the Company with cumulative rights and remedies such that the terms most protective of the Company’s interests are enforced.

21. Compliance. If requested by the Company, I agree to submit a written declaration or affidavit affirming my compliance with this Agreement, under penalty of perjury.

22. Exclusions for Attorneys. If I am an attorney licensed to practice law, I understand and agree that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a restriction on my ability to practice law, or to otherwise impose any obligation on me that would violate the applicable rules governing the legal profession in any jurisdiction in which I am so licensed, including: (a) as an in-house attorney employed by an entity that competes with the Company; or (b) as an employee, partner, or shareholder of a law firm that represents clients that compete with the Company. If I am an attorney licensed to practice law, I understand and acknowledge that, as a licensed attorney, I have obligations in addition to those set forth in this Agreement to, among other things, maintain strict confidentiality with respect to information encompassed by the attorney/client privilege or the work product doctrine; and such obligations continue indefinitely after my employment with the Company ends. Accordingly, this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with my obligations as a licensed attorney and applicable rules of professional conduct relating to the practice of law, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to expand or contract my ethical and professional duties under those rules.

23. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, including by electronic delivery, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall be taken together and deemed to be one instrument.
