Agreement and Plan of Merger
On October 5, 2014, Actavis W.C. Holding Inc. (Parent), a wholly owned subsidiary of Actavis plc, an Irish public limited company (the Company or Actavis), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with Delaware Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (Merger Sub), and Durata Therapeutics, Inc. (Durata), pursuant to which, and on the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, among other things, Merger Sub is obligated to commence a tender offer (the Offer) on or before October 21, 2014 to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Durata at a purchase price of $23.00 per share net to the seller in cash, without interest (the Cash Consideration), plus one contractual contingent value right per share (each, a CVR), which represents the right to receive contingent payments of up to $5.00 in cash in the aggregate, without interest, if specified milestones are achieved (the Contingent Consideration and together with the Cash Consideration, the Offer Consideration), subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the CVR Agreement (described below).
The obligation of Merger Sub to purchase the shares of common stock of Durata validly tendered pursuant to the Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including (i) that there shall have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn a number of shares of common stock of Durata that, when added to the shares then owned by Parent and its subsidiaries, represents one share more than half of the total number of shares of common stock of Durata outstanding at the time of the expiration of the Offer, (ii) the expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (iii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties and compliance with covenants contained in the Merger Agreement, (iv) the absence of any law, order, injunction or decree by any government, court or governmental entity that would make illegal or otherwise prohibit the Offer or the Merger, (v) there not having been a material adverse effect with respect to Durata, and (vi) other customary conditions. The obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to complete the Offer and the Merger under the Merger Agreement are not subject to a financing condition.
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties from both Parent and Durata, and also contains customary covenants, including covenants providing for each of the parties to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Offer and the Merger to be consummated, and covenants requiring Durata to (i) subject to certain exceptions, carry on its business in all material respects in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the closing of the Merger and (ii) cease any existing, and not solicit or initiate or, subject to certain exceptions necessary to permit Duratas board to comply with its fiduciary duties, engage in any discussions or negotiations with third parties regarding other proposals to acquire Durata. The Merger Agreement contains customary termination rights for both Parent and Durata, including, among others, for failure to consummate the Offer on or before March 5, 2015. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement, Durata has agreed to pay Parent a termination fee of $20.2 million under specified circumstances, including (i) a termination by Durata to enter into an agreement for an alternative transaction that constitutes a superior proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (ii) a termination under specified circumstances during the pendency of a publicly disclosed third party proposal to acquire Durata if, within nine months of such termination, Duratas board of directors approves or recommends an alternative transaction or Durata consummates or enters into an agreement for an alternative transaction and (iii) a termination by Parent if Duratas board of directors changes its recommendation for the Offer.
Following the completion of the Offer and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Durata, with Durata surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, pursuant to the procedure provided for under Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law without a vote of stockholders of Durata (the Merger). At the effective time of the Merger (the Effective Time), by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders of any shares of common stock of Durata, each outstanding share of common stock of Durata, other than any shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any subsidiary of Parent or held in the treasury of Durata, or any stockholders who are entitled to and who properly exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law, will be canceled and converted into the right to receive the Offer Consideration. In addition, (i) effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding Durata stock option will fully vest and automatically be canceled and terminated as of the Effective Time and the holder thereof will be entitled to receive (1) an amount in cash, equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of common stock of Durata underlying such option multiplied by (B) the excess, if any, of the Cash Consideration over the exercise price per share of such option and (2) one CVR for each share underlying such Durata stock option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, in each case without interest and less the amount of any tax withholding, and (ii) effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding share of Durata restricted stock will fully vest and the restrictions thereon will lapse, and each such share of restricted stock will be canceled and converted into the right to receive the Offer Consideration, in each case without interest and less the amount of any tax withholding.

The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The Merger Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Actavis, Parent, Merger Sub or Durata, their respective businesses, or the actual conduct of their respective businesses during the period prior to the consummation of the Offer or the Merger. The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties that are the product of negotiations among the parties thereto and the parties made to, and solely for the benefit of, each other as of specified dates. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed to by the respective parties and are also qualified in important part by a confidential disclosure schedule delivered by Durata to Parent in connection with the Merger Agreement. The representations and warranties may have been made for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the agreements instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors.
Contingent Value Rights Agreement
Prior to the Acceptance Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), Parent will enter into a Contingent Value Rights Agreement (the CVR Agreement) with a rights agent mutually agreeable to Parent and Durata governing the terms of the Contingent Consideration. Each CVR represents the right to receive the following cash payments, without interest, with each payment conditioned upon the achievement of the applicable milestone as follows:
| Each CVR holder will be entitled to receive $1.00 per CVR from Parent if prior to December 31, 2018, any Selling Entity (as defined in the CVR Agreement) receives marketing approval from the European Medicines Agency for dalbavancin for the treatment of adult patients with acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections. |
| Each CVR holder will be entitled to receive $1.00 per CVR from Parent if prior to December 31, 2018, authorization is received that permits any Selling Entity (as defined in the CVR Agreement) to market and sell dalbavancin with approved labeling for infusion in a single dose in adult patients. |
| Each CVR holder will be entitled to receive $3.00 per CVR from Parent if the cumulative worldwide Net Revenues (as defined in the CVR Agreement) during the period beginning on January 1, 2016 and ending on December 31, 2017 equal or exceed $600 million. |
The right to the Contingent Consideration as evidenced by the CVR Agreement is a contractual right only and will not be transferable, except in the limited circumstances specified in the CVR Agreement.
The foregoing summary of the CVR Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the CVR Agreement filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Tender and Support Agreement
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, on October 5, 2014, certain officers, directors and stockholders of Durata entered into a tender and support agreement with Parent and Merger Sub (the Tender and Support Agreement), pursuant to which each such person or entity agreed, among other things, to vote against other proposals to acquire Durata and to not transfer their respective shares of Duratas common stock and, subject to certain exceptions, to tender his, her or its shares of common stock of Durata pursuant to the Offer. As of October 5, 2014, these stockholders owned a number of shares of common stock of Durata equal to approximately 19% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Durata. The Tender and Support Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event the Merger Agreement is terminated.
The foregoing summary of the Tender and Support Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Tender and Support Agreement filed herewith as Exhibit 99.2, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statement
Any statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K that refer to future events or other non-historical facts are forward-looking statements that reflect Actavis current perspective of existing trends and information as of the date of this release. For instance, any statements in this press release concerning prospects related to Actavis strategic initiatives, including the acquisition of Durata, are forward-looking statements. Except as expressly required by law, Actavis disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from Actavis current expectations depending upon a number of factors affecting Actavis business. These factors include, among others, successful consummation and integration of the Durata acquisition and the ability to recognize the anticipated synergies and benefits of the Durata acquisition; the anticipated size of the markets and anticipated demand for Duratas products; the impact of competitive products and pricing; the inherent uncertainty associated with financial projections; periodic dependence on a small number of products for a significant source of net revenue or income; variability of trade-buying patterns; changes in generally accepted accounting principles; the risks and uncertainties normally incident to the pharmaceutical industry; risks that the carrying values of assets may be negatively impacted by future events and circumstances; the timing and success of product launches; the difficulty of predicting the timing or outcome of product development efforts and regulatory agency approvals or actions, if any; market acceptance of and continued demand for Actavis and Duratas products; costs and efforts to defend or enforce intellectual property rights; difficulties or delays in manufacturing; the availability and pricing of third party sourced products and materials; successful compliance with governmental regulations applicable to Actavis and Duratas facilities, products and/or businesses; changes in the laws and regulations affecting, among other things, pricing and reimbursement of pharmaceutical products; and other risks and uncertainties detailed in Actavis periodic public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to Actavis plcs Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Parent shall provide, or cause to be provided, to Merger Sub on the date of the Offer Closing funds necessary to purchase and pay the Cash Consideration for any and all Shares that Merger Sub becomes obligated to accept for payment and purchase pursuant to the Offer and this Agreement.
(c) The Offer Conditions are for the sole benefit of Parent and Merger Sub, and Parent and Merger Sub may waive, in whole or in part, any Offer Condition at any time and from time to time, in their sole and absolute discretion, other than the Minimum Condition, which may be waived by Parent and Merger Sub only with the prior written consent of the
-2-
Company. Parent and Merger Sub expressly reserve the right to waive any of the Offer Conditions, to increase the Offer Price or to make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided that, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or previously approved by the Company in writing, Parent and Merger Sub shall not: (i) decrease the Offer Price or change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (ii) decrease the number of Shares sought to be purchased in the Offer, (iii) impose conditions on the Offer in addition to the Offer Conditions or amend any Offer Condition, (iv) waive or amend the Minimum Condition, (v) amend any other term of the Offer in a manner that is adverse to the holders of Shares, or (vi) extend the Expiration Date (as defined below) except as required or permitted by Section 1.01(e).
(d) On the date the Offer is commenced, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, file with the
U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer, which Tender Offer Statement shall include an offer to purchase, letter of transmittal, summary advertisement and
other required ancillary offer documents (such Schedule TO and the documents included therein pursuant to which the Offer will be made, together with any supplements or amendments thereto, the Offer Documents) and cause the Offer
Documents to be disseminated to the holders of Shares as and to the extent required by applicable Law. The Company hereby consents to the inclusion of the recommendation of the Company Board that the Companys stockholders accept the Offer and
tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer (the Company Board Recommendation) in the Offer Documents. Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, cause the Offer Documents to comply as to form in all material respects
with the requirements of applicable Law. The Company shall promptly furnish to Parent and Merger Sub all information concerning the Company and the holders of Shares that may be required to be set forth in the Offer Documents or reasonably requested
in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 1.01(d), including communication of the Offer to the record and beneficial holders of Shares. Each of the parties agrees to promptly correct any information provided by it for
use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that it shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and Parent and Merger Sub further agree to take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents as so corrected to be filed with
the SEC and disseminated to the holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Law. Parent and Merger Sub shall provide the Company and its counsel in writing with any written comments (and shall orally describe any oral
comments) that Parent, Merger Sub or their counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after receipt of such comments. Prior to the filing of the Offer Documents (including any
amendment or supplement thereto) with the SEC or dissemination thereof to the holders of Shares, or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Offer Documents, Parent and Merger Sub shall provide the Company with a reasonable
opportunity to review and comment on such Offer Documents or response, and Parent and Merger Sub shall give reasonable consideration to any comments provided by the Company. Parent and Merger Sub shall use reasonable best efforts to respond promptly
to any such SEC comments.
(e) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Documents, the Offer shall remain open until midnight, New York City time, at the end of the 20th business day (for purposes of this Section 1.01(e) calculated in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act)
-3-
after the date that the Offer is commenced (the Initial Expiration Date) or, if the period of time for which the Offer is open shall have been extended pursuant to, and in accordance with, this Section 1.01(e) or as may be required by applicable Law, the time and date to which the Offer has been so extended (the Initial Expiration Date or such later time and date to which the Offer has been extended in accordance with this Section 1.01(e), the Expiration Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if, on the then-effective Expiration Date, any of the Offer Conditions have not been satisfied or waived, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, extend the Offer for successive periods of not more than ten (10) Business Days each (as defined below) (the length of such period to be determined by Merger Sub), or for such longer period as the parties may agree, in order to permit the satisfaction of the Offer Conditions (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Offer shall not be extended pursuant to this clause (i) if all Offer Conditions have been satisfied or waived), and (ii) Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, extend the Offer for any period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or its staff applicable to the Offer or necessary to resolve any comments of the SEC or its staff applicable to the Offer or the Offer Documents; provided that, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), Merger Sub shall not in any event be required to, and without the Companys prior written consent shall not, extend the Offer beyond the Outside Date (as defined below). Nothing in this Section 1.01(e) shall be deemed to impair, limit or otherwise restrict in any manner the right of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01. In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day of such termination) terminate the Offer. If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Merger Sub, or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 8.01, prior to the acceptance for payment of Shares tendered in the Offer, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, promptly return, and shall cause any depository acting on behalf of Merger Sub to return, all tendered Shares to the registered holders thereof.
(f) At or prior to the Acceptance Time, Parent will 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 to any CVR holder).
Section 1.02 Company Action.
(a) The Company shall file with the SEC, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Offer Documents are filed with the SEC (and in any event file within three (3) Business Days after the Offer Documents are filed), a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 pertaining to the Offer (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the Schedule 14D-9) that contains the Company Board Recommendation, the fairness opinion of the Companys financial advisor referenced in Section 4.21 and the notice and other information required by Section 262(d)(2) of the Corporation Law, and shall promptly disseminate the Schedule 14D-9 to the holders of Shares as and to the extent required by applicable Law, including by setting the Stockholder List Date (as defined below) as the record date for the purpose of receiving the notice required by Section 262(d)(2) of the Corporation Law. The Company shall cause the Schedule 14D-9 to comply as to form in all material respects
-4-
with the requirements of applicable Law. Parent and Merger Sub shall as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date hereof furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent and Merger Sub that may be required or reasonably requested by the Company for inclusion in the Schedule 14D-9. Each of the parties agrees to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that it shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and the Company further agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Law. The Company shall provide Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel in writing with any written comments (and shall orally describe any oral comments) that the Company or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after receipt of such comments. Prior to the filing of the Schedule 14D-9 (including any amendment or supplement thereto) with the SEC or dissemination thereof to the holders of Shares, or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Schedule 14D-9, the Company shall provide Parent and Merger Sub with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Schedule 14D-9 or response, and the Company shall give reasonable consideration to any comments provided by Parent or Merger Sub. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to respond promptly to any such SEC comments.

Except as required by applicable Law, and except as necessary to communicate regarding the Offer and the Merger with the holders of Shares, Parent and Merger Sub (and their respective representatives) shall hold in confidence the information contained in any such labels, listings and files, shall use such information solely in connection with the Offer and the Merger, and, if this Agreement is terminated or the Offer is otherwise terminated, shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Company or destroy all copies of such information, labels, listings and files then in their possession or in the possession of their representatives.
(c) The Company shall register (and shall instruct its transfer agent to register) the transfer of the Shares accepted for payment by Merger Sub effective immediately after the Acceptance Time.

ARTICLE III
CONSIDERATION; PAYMENT FOR SHARES AND OPTIONS
Section 3.01 Conversion of Shares; Cancellation of Treasury Shares and Parent-Owned Shares. Each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any Subsidiary (as defined below) of Parent or held in the treasury of the Company, and other than Dissenting Shares (as defined below), which shall have only those rights set forth in Section 3.08) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the holders thereof, be converted automatically at the Effective Time into the right to receive (a) in cash an amount per Share equal to the Cash Consideration (subject to any applicable withholding Tax) and (b) one (1) CVR subject to and in accordance with the CVR Agreement in each case, without any interest thereon (collectively, the Merger Consideration), upon the surrender of the Certificates (as defined below) or Book-Entry Shares (as defined below), as applicable, in accordance with this Article III. At the Effective Time all such Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of Certificates or Book Entry Shares (in each case representing such Shares) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided herein. Each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is at such time owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any Subsidiary of Parent or held in the treasury of the Company shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the holders thereof, be canceled and shall cease to exist at the Effective Time, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.
Section 3.02 Conversion of Common Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, $0.01 par value, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the holders thereof, be converted at the Effective Time into and become one (1) share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
Section 3.03 Payment for Shares.
(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Parent will, or will cause the Surviving Corporation to, deposit, or cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the Paying Agent) sufficient funds to make the aggregate payments of the Cash Consideration due pursuant to Section 3.01(a) (such amount being hereinafter referred to as the Payment Fund), which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include the Merger Consideration payable with respect to Company Options and Company
-7-
Restricted Stock. The Paying Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, make the payments provided for in the preceding sentence out of the Payment Fund. The Payment Fund may be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation; provided, that (x) no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the Cash Consideration payable to the holders of Shares pursuant to this Agreement, (y) following any such losses that result in the amount of funds in the Payment Fund being insufficient to promptly pay the portion of the aggregate Cash Consideration that remains unpaid, Parent shall promptly provide additional funds to the Paying Agent to the extent of such insufficiency, and (z) such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America or in commercial paper obligations rated P-1 or A-1 or better by Moodys Investor Services, Inc. or Standard & Poors Corporation, respectively. Any interest and other income resulting from such investment shall be paid solely to Parent. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose, except as provided in this Agreement.
(b) As soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within three (3) Business Days, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each Person who, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, was the record holder of Shares whose Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.01: (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Shares (the Certificates) shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or non-certificated Shares represented by book-entry (Book-Entry Shares) in exchange for the Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of Shares evidenced by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares. Following surrender to the Paying Agent of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, together with such letter of transmittal duly executed, and such other documents as may be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares shall (x) be paid in exchange therefor cash in an amount (subject to any applicable withholding Tax) equal to the product of the number of Shares represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares multiplied by the Cash Consideration and (y) shall receive in exchange therefor one (1) CVR for each Share represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with and subject to the terms of the CVR Agreement, and such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares shall forthwith be canceled. No interest will be paid or accrued on the Cash Consideration payable upon the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. If payment is to be made to a Person (as defined below) other than the Person in whose name the Certificate surrendered is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer. From and after the Effective Time and until surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.03, each Certificate and Book-Entry Share (other than Certificates and Book-Entry Shares representing any Dissenting Shares) shall represent for all purposes solely the right to receive, in accordance with the terms hereof, the Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of Shares evidenced by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, without any interest thereon.
(c) 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 the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond in such
-8-
reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to the Shares formerly represented thereby.
(d) Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of Certificates and/or Book-Entry Shares for six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation. Any former holders of Certificates and/or Book-Entry Shares who have not complied with this Section 3.03 prior to the end of such six (6) month period shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation but only as general creditors thereof for payment of their claim for the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws). None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of Shares for any amounts (whether in respect of such Shares or otherwise) delivered from the Payment Fund or otherwise to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate or Book-Entry Shares shall not have been surrendered prior to the date on which the related Merger Consideration would escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any such Merger Consideration shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, immediately prior to such time become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.
(e) All cash paid and CVRs provided upon the surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article III shall be deemed to have been paid and given in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Shares formerly represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.
Section 3.04 Closing of the Companys Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and no transfer of Shares shall thereafter be made. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for transfer, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration as provided in this Article III.
Section 3.05 Company Options and Company Restricted Stock.
(a) Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each then-outstanding and unexercised stock option to purchase Shares (collectively, the Company Options) granted pursuant to the Companys Stock Incentive Plan or the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (together, the Company Stock Plans), shall vest in full, and automatically be canceled and terminated as of the Effective Time, and the holder thereof shall become entitled to receive (i) an amount of cash, if any, from the Surviving Corporation equal to the product of (A) the total number of Shares underlying such Company Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the excess, if any, of the Cash Consideration over the exercise price per Share of such Company Option and (ii) one (1) CVR for each Share underlying such Company Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, in each case without interest and subject to any applicable withholding or other Taxes required by applicable Law to be withheld in accordance with Section 3.06.
-9-
(b) Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each then-outstanding share of restricted stock awarded pursuant to any Company Stock Plan (the Company Restricted Stock) shall automatically become fully vested and the restrictions thereon shall lapse, and each such share of Company Restricted Stock shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive (i) an amount in cash from the Surviving Corporation equal to the Cash Consideration and (ii) one (1) CVR, in each case without interest and subject to any applicable withholding or other Taxes required by applicable Law to be withheld in accordance with Section 3.06.
(c) Parent shall (i) cause the Surviving Corporation to make payments of the cash consideration payable with respect to Company Options and Company Restricted Stock pursuant to clause (i) of Sections 3.05(a) and 3.05(b) to all holders of Company Options and Company Restricted Stock, as applicable, as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, and in any event, within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, and (ii) provide, or cause to be provided, to the Surviving Corporation sufficient funds to make such payments. Parent acknowledges and agrees that payments in respect of Company Restricted Stock pursuant to Section 3.05(b) as to which the election contemplated by Section 83(b) of the Code has been properly made shall not be subject to any deductions in respect of withholding Taxes.
(d) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, and in any event prior to the Initial Expiration Date, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Company Stock Plans) shall adopt such resolutions and take such other actions as may be required to terminate each of the Company Stock Plans and to effectuate all of the actions contemplated by this Section 3.05, contingent on the Closing of the Merger.
Section 3.06 Withholding Taxes. Each of the Company, Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement, the CVR Agreement or otherwise, such amounts as are required to be withheld under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), or any applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
Section 3.07 Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. In the event that, during the period between the date hereof and the Effective Time, the number of outstanding Shares shall be changed into a different number of Shares or a different class as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend, recapitalization or other similar transaction, then the Offer Price and the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted, without duplication, to reflect such change; provided, that in any case, nothing in this Section 3.07 shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.
Section 3.08 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by stockholders who are properly demanding appraisal rights pursuant to, and who are complying in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the Corporation Law (the Dissenting
-10-
Shares) shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive the Merger Consideration, but shall be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to the holders of Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the Corporation Law, unless and until such holders shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal under Section 262 of the Corporation Law. Dissenting Shares shall be treated in accordance with Section 262 of the Corporation Law.

aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or a material adverse impact (commercial or otherwise) on the Key Product.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, (i) the Company has received a bona fide, written Takeover Proposal from any Person or group that did not result from a breach of this Section 6.02, and (ii) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Takeover Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal and that the failure to take such action described in clause (A) or (B) below would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then the Company may (A) furnish information with respect to the Company to the Person or group making such Takeover Proposal pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement; provided, that (x) the Company shall substantially concurrently provide to Parent any non-public information concerning the Company that is provided to (or given access to) any Person or group and which was not previously provided to Parent and (y) the Company shall take reasonable steps to safeguard any commercially sensitive non-public information of the Company, in a manner reasonably consistent with the Companys past practices in dealing with the disclosure of such information in the context of considering Takeover Proposals, and (B) engage in discussions or negotiations with the Person or group of Persons making such Takeover Proposal regarding such Takeover Proposal; provided, however, that prior to or concurrently with the Company taking such actions as described in clauses (A) and/or (B)
-42-
above, the Company shall provide written notice to Parent of such determination of the Company Board as provided for in clause (ii) above, together with the identity of the Person or group making such Takeover Proposal.
(c) The Company shall promptly (and, in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours) notify Parent orally and in writing in the event that the Company, its directors, officers or employees or, to the Companys Knowledge, any of its other Representatives, receives any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to any Takeover Proposal, or any initial request for non-public information concerning the Company from any Person or group who has made or would reasonably be expected to make any Takeover Proposal, or any initial request for discussions or negotiations related to any Takeover Proposal, and, in connection with such notice, provide the identity of any person or group making such inquiry, proposal or offer, the material terms and conditions thereof and the nature of such request, and thereafter the Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a prompt and timely basis of the status and material details of discussions with respect thereto, including any material changes to the terms thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall promptly (and, in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours) provide Parent with copies of all written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements, and oral summaries of any oral requests, proposals or offers, received by the Company or that the Company delivers to any Person or group making a Takeover Proposal.
(d) Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw or rescind (or modify or qualify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub), or publicly propose to withdraw or rescind (or modify or qualify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub), the Company Board Recommendation or the findings or conclusions of the Company Board referred to in Section 4.03(b), (ii) approve or recommend the adoption of, or publicly propose to approve, declare the advisability of or recommend the adoption of, any Takeover Proposal, (iii) cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to execute or enter into, any Acquisition Agreement, (iv) publicly propose or announce an intention to take any of the foregoing actions, (v) following the date any Takeover Proposal or any material modification thereto is first made public or sent or given to the stockholders of the Company, fail to issue a press release stating that the Company Board Recommendation has not changed within three (3) Business Days following Parents written request to do so (which request may only be made once with respect to any such Takeover Proposal and each material modification thereto), or (vi) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Schedule 14D-9 when disseminated to the Companys stockholders (any action described in clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) being referred to as an Adverse Recommendation Change, it being understood that a customary stop, look and listen communication by the Company Board or any committee thereof pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act shall not, in and of itself, constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change).
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company Board may, subject to compliance with the other provisions of this Section 6.02, (1) effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Superior Proposal or (2) effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event (as defined below); provided, that (w) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to take such action
-43-
would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (x) in the case of clause (1), the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) that the applicable Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and that it intends to accept or recommend such Superior Proposal, (y) the Company shall have provided prior written notice to Parent, at least four (4) Business Days prior to taking the applicable action referred to in clause (1) or (2) of its intent to take such action and specifying the reasons therefor, including, in the case of clause (1), the terms and conditions of any Superior Proposal that is the basis for the proposed Adverse Recommendation Change and identity of any person or group making such Superior Proposal, together with copies of any agreement to be entered into giving effect to such Superior Proposal and any other material documents related thereto (a Notice of Intended Recommendation Change), and (z) the Company has complied with the following additional covenants:
(i) if such Adverse Recommendation Change is being made pursuant to clause (1) above, and if desired by Parent, after providing any such Notice of Intended Recommendation Change, the Company shall, and shall cause its directors, officers and employees to and shall direct and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its other Representatives to, negotiate with Parent in good faith during any such four (4) Business Day period regarding any proposal by Parent to amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby and at the end of such four (4) Business Day period (as it may be extended pursuant to the following proviso) the Company Board again makes the determinations described in clauses (w) and (x) with respect to such Superior Proposal; provided, that, in the event that there is any material amendment to the terms of any such Superior Proposal (including any revision in the amount, form or mix of consideration the Companys stockholders would receive as a result of the Superior Proposal), the Company shall be required to provide Parent with notice of such material amendment and there shall be a new two (2) Business Day period following such notification during which the Company shall negotiate with Parent or otherwise comply again with the requirements of this Section 6.02(e)(i) and the Company Board shall not make an Adverse Recommendation Change prior to the end of any such period as so extended; and
(ii) if such Adverse Recommendation Change is being made pursuant to clause (2) above:
(1) such Adverse Recommendation Change is being made as a result of an event, fact, development or occurrence that materially affects the business, assets or operations of the Company (other than any event, fact, development or occurrence resulting from a material breach of this Agreement by the Company) that was not known to, or reasonably foreseeable by, the Company Board as of the date hereof and becomes known to the Company Board after the date hereof and prior to the Acceptance Time (an Intervening Event); provided, however, that the receipt, existence or terms of a Takeover Proposal or any matter relating thereto or consequence thereof shall not constitute an Intervening Event; and
(2) during any such four (4) Business Day period, if desired by Parent, the Company shall, and shall cause its directors, officers and employees to and
-44-
shall direct and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its other Representatives to, negotiate with Parent in good faith during any such four (4) Business Day period regarding any proposal by Parent to amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby and at the end of such four (4) Business Day period the Company Board again makes the determinations described in clause (w) with respect to such Intervening Event.
(f) Nothing contained in this Section 6.02 shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board from taking and disclosing to the Companys stockholders a position with respect to a tender offer by a third party pursuant to Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act if, in the judgment of the Company Board (after consultation with outside legal counsel) failure to do so would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the exercise of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, or otherwise violate its obligations under applicable Law; provided, however, that no Adverse Recommendation Change may be made unless the Company shall have first complied with its obligations in Section 6.02(e).
(g) For purposes of this Agreement, (i) Takeover Proposal means any proposal or offer from any Person or group providing for (A) any direct or indirect acquisition, purchase or license, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, of (1) 20% or more of the consolidated assets (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Intellectual Property and capital stock of Subsidiaries of the Company) of the Company, or (2) Shares or any other Company Securities, which together with any other Shares or other Company Securities beneficially owned by such Person or group, would represent 20% or more of the outstanding Shares, (B) any tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in any Person or group owning, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the outstanding Shares, (C) any merger, consolidation, business combination, share exchange or similar transaction involving the Company pursuant to which any Person or group (or the shareholders of any Person) would own, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the aggregate voting power of the Company or of the surviving entity in a merger or the resulting direct or indirect parent of the Company or such surviving entity or 20% or more of the consolidated assets (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Intellectual Property and capital stock of Subsidiaries of the Company) of the Company, or (D) any reorganization, recapitalization, extraordinary dividend, liquidation, dissolution or any other similar transaction involving the Company, other than, in each case, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) Superior Proposal means any bona fide, written Takeover Proposal received after the date hereof that if consummated would result in a Person or group owning, directly or indirectly, (A) more than 50% of the outstanding Shares or (B) more than 50% of the consolidated assets of the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Intellectual Property and capital stock of Subsidiaries of the Company), taken as a whole, in either case which the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) (x) is reasonably likely to be consummated in accordance with its terms, and (y) if consummated, would be more favorable to the stockholders of the Company from a financial point of view than the Offer and the Merger, in each case taking into account the consideration, terms, conditions, timing, financing terms and all financial, legal, regulatory and other aspects of such Takeover Proposal (including the Person or group making the Takeover Proposal) and of this Agreement (including any changes to the terms of this Agreement and the agreements contemplated hereby proposed by Parent pursuant to Section 6.02(e)).

Section 6.03 Access to Information.
(a) From and after the date of this Agreement, subject to the requirements of applicable Law, the Company will (i) give Parent and Merger Sub and their authorized officers, employees, accountants, investment bankers, counsel and other representatives reasonable access (during regular business hours upon reasonable notice) to such employees, plants, offices, warehouses and other facilities at reasonable times and to such books, contracts, commitments and records (including Tax Returns) of the Company and its Subsidiaries as Parent may reasonably request and instruct the Companys independent public accountants to provide access to their work papers and such other information as Parent or Merger Sub may reasonably request, (ii) permit Parent and Merger Sub to make such inspections as they may reasonably require, (iii) furnish Parent and Merger Sub with such financial and operating data and other information with respect to the business, properties and personnel of the Company and its Subsidiaries as Parent or Merger Sub may from time to time reasonably request, (iv) furnish promptly to Parent and Merger Sub a copy of each report, schedule and other document filed or received by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company during such period pursuant to the requirements of the federal or state securities Laws, and (v) use its reasonable best efforts to assist Parent in obtaining reasonable physical access to the Manufacturing Facilities in order for Parent to make such inspections as it may reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to provide such access, inspections, data or other information to the extent that, to do so (A) could reasonably be expected to jeopardize an attorney-client privilege or attorney work product protection, or (B) would violate an existing confidentiality obligation to any Person; provided, however, that in the case of clause (A) and (B), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any required consents to provide such access, inspections, data or other information and take such other action (such as the redaction of identifying or confidential information, entry into a joint defense agreement or other agreement or by providing such access, inspections, data or other information solely to outside counsel to avoid the loss of attorney-client privilege) as is necessary to provide such access, inspections, data or other information to Parent and Merger Sub in compliance with applicable Law, and otherwise the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to institute appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements, to the extent practicable in the circumstances.
(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, and provided that the Company will have final authority over the form and content of all submissions to and communications with the FDA, EMA or other similar Governmental Entity, as applicable, the Company shall, subject to its compliance with all applicable Laws, (i) promptly notify Parent in writing of any significant data relating to the safety or effectiveness of the Companys product DALVANCE (the Key Product), including any information that could lead to a recall of or a material labeling change to the Key Product in the United States, (ii) reasonably consult with Parent in connection with any proposed meeting with the FDA, EMA or any other comparable Governmental Entity relating to the Key Product, (iii) promptly inform Parent of, and provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon, and consider in good faith the views and comments of Parent prior to submitting, any material filing, correspondence, or communication proposed to be submitted to the FDA, the EMA or any other
-46-
comparable Governmental Entity relating to the Key Product, (iv) promptly inform Parent of any material oral or written communication from or to the FDA, the EMA or any comparable Governmental Entity relating to the Key Product, and provide copies of any such written communication, (v) promptly inform Parent of, and provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to comment on, any material change to the Key Product that would affect its regulatory approval status, including material changes to the manufacturing plan or process and marketing of the Key Product and (vi) otherwise keep Parent reasonably informed of, and consider in good faith Parents views with respect to, the status of the development and implementation of the launch of the Key Product.
(c) All information obtained by Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall be subject to the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement.
Section 6.04 Reasonable Best Efforts.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Offer and the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated as promptly as reasonably practicable on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall file within ten (10) Business Days any required submissions under the HSR Act (unless Parent and the Company mutually agree otherwise), and use its reasonable best efforts (A) to furnish information required in connection with such submissions under the HSR Act (including responding to any second request for additional information or documentary material under the HSR Act as promptly as reasonably practicable and advisable as mutually determined by Parent and the Company), (B) to obtain early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, (C) to keep the other parties reasonably informed with respect to the status of any such submissions under the HSR Act, including with respect to: (1) the receipt of any non-action, action, clearance, consent, approval or waiver, (2) the expiration of any waiting period, (3) the commencement or proposed or threatened commencement of any investigation, litigation or administrative or judicial action or proceeding under the HSR Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended (the FTC Act ), the Clayton Act of 1914, as amended (the Clayton Act ), or the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, as amended (the Sherman Act ) and (4) the nature and status of any objections raised or proposed or threatened to be raised under the HSR Act, the FTC Act, the Clayton Act or the Sherman Act with respect to this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby and (D) to obtain all necessary actions or non-actions, waivers, consents, clearances, expiration of applicable waiting periods and approvals from any Governmental Entity and (ii) the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall cooperate with one another: (A) in promptly determining whether any filings are required to be or should be made or any consents, approvals or waivers are required to be or should be obtained from other parties to loan agreements or other Contracts or instruments that the Company is a party to or related to the Companys business in connection with this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby and (B) in promptly making any such filings, furnishing information required in connection therewith and seeking to obtain timely any such consents, permits, approvals or waivers.

Entity and permit the others to review and discuss in advance (and to consider in good faith any comments made by the others in relation to) any proposed substantive written communication to a Governmental Entity and (ii) keep the others reasonably informed of any developments, requests for meetings or discussions with any Governmental Entity in respect of any filings, investigation or inquiry concerning the Offer or the Merger. The Company, Parent and Merger Sub agree not to participate in any in-person meeting or discussion with any Governmental Entity in connection with the proposed transaction unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Entity or by Law, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate where appropriate and advisable under the circumstances. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 1.01(d) and Section 1.02(a), not this Section 6.04(b), shall govern the matters covered therein.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereby agree and acknowledge that nothing herein shall require or be construed to require Parent or Merger Sub, in order to obtain any required approval from any Governmental Entity, to: (i) sell, lease, license, transfer, dispose of, divest or otherwise encumber, or hold separate pending any such action, (ii) agree or consent to conduct of business restrictions, or (iii) propose, negotiate or offer to effect, or consent or commit to, any such sale, leasing, licensing, transfer, disposal, or divestiture, or holding separate, or conduct of business restrictions before or after the Acceptance Time or the Effective Time, of any assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interests therein of Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of Parents Subsidiaries; provided, that Parent and Merger Sub shall be required to undertake the actions described in clauses (i) through (iii) to the extent (i) such actions are solely related to any business, Person or division thereof, or any assets that Parent or its Subsidiaries acquire or agree to acquire following the date hereof and (ii) such actions are necessary to obtain the applicable consent, clearance, approval, authorization or waiver under the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(d) In the event that any litigation or other administrative or judicial action is commenced challenging any of the transactions contemplated hereby and such litigation, action or proceeding seeks to prevent, impede or delay the consummation of the Offer or the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall cooperate with each other, and Parent and Merger Sub shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such litigation, action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order that may result from such litigation, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless, by mutual agreement, Parent and the Company decide that litigation is not in their respective best interests. Each party hereto shall keep the other parties hereto reasonably informed, but only to the extent that doing so would not, in the reasonable judgment of such party, jeopardize any privilege of the party with respect thereto regarding any such litigation, action or proceeding, it being agreed that each party will also cooperate with the other parties to permit such inspection of or to disclose such information on a basis that does not compromise or waive such privilege with respect thereto. The Company shall cooperate fully with Parent (and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its representatives to cooperate fully with Parent) in connection with, and shall consult with and permit Parent and its representatives to participate in, the defense of any such litigation,
-48-
action or proceeding and the Company shall give due consideration to Parents advice with respect to such litigation, action or proceeding; provided, however, that the Company shall not be allowed to settle or enter into any negotiations or settlement of any such litigation, action or proceeding without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed).
(e) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Laws and rules and policies of the NASDAQ Global Market to cause the delisting of the Shares from the NASDAQ Global Market by the Surviving Corporation as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time and the deregistration of the Shares under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after such delisting.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent or the Surviving Corporation may purchase, in lieu of the insurance contemplated by the preceding sentence, a six-year tail prepaid policy on the directors and officers liability insurance policies on terms and conditions no less favorable than the directors and officers liability insurance policies in effect on the date hereof; provided, however, that the maximum aggregate annual premium for such insurance policies for any such year shall not be in excess of the maximum aggregate annual premium contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence.
-49-
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Indemnified Person notifies the Surviving Corporation on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time that a Legal Proceeding (whether arising before, at or after the Effective Time) has been commenced against such Indemnified Person in respect of which such Person expects to seek indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.05, the provisions of this Section 6.05 shall continue in effect with respect to such Legal Proceeding until the final disposition of such Legal Proceeding.
(d) This Section 6.05 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and is intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, the Indemnified Persons and their respective heirs and legal representatives.
(e) In the event that the Surviving Corporation or Parent or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving Person of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 6.05.

Parent agrees that the Surviving Corporation or other Affiliate employing the Continuing Employees will pay such employees the bonus for 2014 at the target bonus level (or such higher level as the performance with respect to that bonus provides), with payment to be made in accordance with the Companys normal practices in February 2015.
(c) For purposes of eligibility, vesting, and benefit accrual (solely for the purposes of determining accrual of paid time off and, if service-based, any severance) under the employee
-50-
benefit plans, programs, policies and arrangements maintained by Parent or the Surviving Corporation providing benefits to any Continuing Employee following the Effective Time (collectively, the Parent Benefit Plans), Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cause service rendered by each Continuing Employee to the Company prior to the Effective Time to be credited for all purposes (other than for purposes of determining an accrued benefit under any defined benefit pension plan) to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, prior to the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar Plan; provided, however, that in no event shall Continuing Employees be entitled to service credit to the extent such service credit would result in a duplication of benefits for the same period of service.
(d) In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Continuing Employee to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all Parent Benefit Plans to the extent coverage under such Parent Benefit Plan replaces coverage under a comparable Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time; and (ii) for purposes of each Parent Benefit Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee from and after the Effective Time, (A) Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, waiting periods and actively-at-work requirements of such Parent Benefit Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents to the extent such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, waiting periods or actively-at-work requirements were waived or satisfied under the comparable Plan and (B) Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize, or cause to be recognized, any eligible expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents under a Plan during the portion of the plan year prior to the Effective Time to be taken into account under such Parent Benefit Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, co-insurance, co-payment and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such Parent Benefit Plan.
(e) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 6.06 are included for the sole benefit of the parties hereto, and that nothing in this Section 6.06, whether express or implied, (i) shall create any third-party beneficiary or other rights (A) in any other Person, including any employees or former employees of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, any Continuing Employee, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof, or (B) to continued employment with Parent or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation), (ii) shall be treated as an amendment or other modification of any Plan or Parent Benefit Plan, or (iii) shall limit the right of Parent or its Subsidiaries (including, following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any Plan or Parent Benefit Plan.

For the avoidance of doubt, the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.14(b) shall not affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement or the conditions to the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the remedies available to the parties hereunder.

Section 8.03 Fees and Expenses.
(a) Whether or not the Merger is consummated, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses.

(i) if (i) after the date hereof, a Takeover Proposal shall have become publicly known, (ii) thereafter, this Agreement is terminated (A) by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(c), or (B) by Parent pursuant to Section 8.01(d), and (iii) within nine (9) months of such termination, the Company Board approves or recommends any Takeover Proposal (regardless of when made), the Company or any of its Subsidiaries enters into any acquisition agreement, merger agreement or other definitive agreement that provides for any Takeover Proposal, or any Takeover Proposal is consummated, then, in any such case, the Company shall pay to Parent (or a person designated by Parent in writing) the Fee by wire transfer of same-day funds within two (2) Business Days of the earliest of the date any such Company Board approval or recommendation is made, any such acquisition agreement, merger agreement or other definitive agreement is entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the date any such transaction is consummated. Solely for purposes of this Section 8.03(b)(i), the term Takeover Proposal shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 6.02(g), except that all references to 20% therein shall be deemed to be references to 50%;

(c) The parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.03 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty, and that, without these agreements, the parties would not have entered into this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Fee shall be payable only once and not in duplication even though the Fee may be payable under one or more provisions hereof. Subject to Section 8.02, in the event Parent shall receive the Fee, the receipt thereof shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by Parent or any of its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (and the termination thereof or any matter forming the basis for such termination),
-58-
and neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to bring or maintain any other Legal Proceeding against the Company or any of its Affiliates arising out of this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any matters forming the basis for such termination. If the Company fails promptly to pay the Fee when due and payable pursuant to this Section 8.03, and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences an action or other proceeding that results in an award against the Company for such Fee, the Company shall pay Parents costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) in connection with such action or proceeding, together with interest on the amount of the Fee from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at the prime lending rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.
Section 8.04 Amendment. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, this Agreement may be amended by the Company, Parent and Merger Sub, at any time prior to the Effective Time; provided that following the Offer Closing, this Agreement may not be amended in any manner that causes the Merger Consideration to differ from the Offer Price. This Agreement may not be amended, changed, supplemented or otherwise modified except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of all of the parties.
Section 8.05 Extension; Waiver; Remedies. At any time prior to the Effective Time, each party hereto may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein by any other applicable party or in any document, certificate or writing delivered pursuant hereto by any other applicable party or (c) waive compliance by any party with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of any party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, each Stockholder is the record and/or beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the number of shares of Common Stock and Options, in each case set forth opposite such Stockholders name on Schedule A (all such shares and Options set forth on Schedule A next to the Stockholders name, together with any shares of Common Stock of the Company that are hereafter issued to or otherwise directly or indirectly acquired by any Stockholder prior to the termination of this Agreement, including for the avoidance of doubt any shares of Common Stock acquired by such Stockholder upon the exercise of Options after the date hereof, being referred to herein as the Subject Shares);
WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution hereof, Parent, Merger Sub and Durata Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company) are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as it may be amended pursuant to the terms thereof, the Merger Agreement), which provides, among other things, for Merger Sub to commence an offer to purchase any (subject to the Minimum Condition) and all of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company and the Merger of the Company and Merger Sub, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement; and
WHEREAS, as a condition to their willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, and as an inducement and in consideration for Parent and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement, each Stockholder, severally and not jointly, and on such Stockholders own account with respect to the Subject Shares, has agreed to enter into this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth below and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
AGREEMENT TO TENDER AND VOTE
1.1. Agreement to Tender. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Stockholder (other than Paul R. Edick, John Shannon and Richard U. de Schutter) agrees to tender or cause to be tendered in the Offer all of such Stockholders Subject Shares (other than Options that are not exercised during the term of this Agreement) pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer, free and clear of all Encumbrances except for Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as promptly as
practicable after, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after, the commencement (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) of the Offer, each Stockholder (other than Paul R. Edick, John Shannon and Richard U. de Schutter) shall deliver or cause to be delivered pursuant to the terms of the Offer (a) a letter of transmittal with respect to all of such Stockholders Subject Shares complying with the terms of the Offer, (b) a certificate representing all such Subject Shares that are certificated or, in the case of a book-entry share of any uncertificated Subject Shares, written instructions to such Stockholders broker, dealer or other nominee that such Subject Shares be tendered, including a reference to this Agreement, and requesting delivery of an agents message (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request), and (c) all other documents or instruments required to be delivered by other Company stockholders pursuant to the terms of the Offer (it being understood that this sentence shall not apply to Options that are not exercised during the term of this Agreement). Each Stockholder agrees that, once any of such Stockholders Subject Shares are tendered, such Stockholder will not withdraw or will cause not to be withdrawn such Subject Shares from the Offer, unless and until this Agreement shall have been validly terminated in accordance with Section 5.2.
1.2. Agreement to Vote. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, during the time this Agreement is in effect, at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, including any adjournment or postponement thereof, and in connection with any action proposed to be taken by written consent of the stockholders of the Company, such Stockholder shall, in each case to the fullest extent that such Stockholders Subject Shares are entitled to vote thereon: (a) appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause all such Subject Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of determining a quorum; and (b) be present (in person or by proxy) and vote (or cause to be voted), or deliver (or cause to be delivered) a written consent with respect to, all of its Subject Shares (i) against any action or agreement that is intended or would reasonably be expected to (A) result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement, or of any Stockholder contained in this Agreement or (B) result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VII or Annex I of the Merger Agreement not being satisfied on or before the Outside Date; (ii) against any change in the Board of Directors of the Company; and (iii) against any Takeover Proposal and against any other action, agreement or transaction involving the Company that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, adversely affect or prevent the consummation of the Offer or the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including (x) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving the Company (other than the Merger); (y) a sale, lease, license or transfer of a material amount of assets (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Intellectual Property and capital stock of Subsidiaries of the Company) of the Company or any reorganization, recapitalization or liquidation of the Company; or (z) any change in the present capitalization of the Company or any amendment or other change to the Companys Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws. Subject to the proxy granted under Section 1.3 below, each Stockholder shall retain at all times the right to vote the Subject Shares in such Stockholders sole discretion, and without any other limitation, on any matters other than those set forth in this Section 1.2 that are at any time or from time to time presented for consideration to the Companys stockholders generally.
-2-
1.3. Irrevocable Proxy. Solely with respect to the matters described in Section 1.2, for so long as this Agreement has not been validly terminated in accordance with its terms, each Stockholder hereby irrevocably appoints Parent (and any Person or Persons designated by Parent) as its attorney-in-fact and proxy with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to the full extent of such Stockholders voting rights with respect to all such Stockholders Subject Shares (which proxy is irrevocable and which appointment is coupled with an interest, including for purposes of Section 212 of the Corporation Law) to vote (or issue instructions to the record holder to vote), and to execute (or issue instructions to the record holder to execute) written consents with respect to, all such Stockholders Subject Shares solely on the matters described in Section 1.2, and in accordance therewith. This proxy is coupled with an interest, was given to secure the obligations of such Stockholder under Section 1.2, was given in consideration of and as an additional inducement of Parent and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement and shall be irrevocable, and such Stockholder agrees to execute any further agreement or form reasonably necessary or appropriate to confirm and effectuate the grant of the proxy contained herein and hereby revokes any proxy previously granted by such Stockholder with respect to the Subject Shares. Such proxy shall not be terminated by operation of any Law or upon the occurrence of any other event other than upon the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. Parent may terminate this proxy with respect to a Stockholder at any time at its sole election by written notice provided to such Stockholder.
1.4. No Exercise. During the term of this Agreement, each of Paul R. Edick, John Shannon and Richard U. de Schutter (for his own account solely as to himself on a several basis) agrees not to exercise any Options except with Parents prior written consent.

5.2. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate automatically with respect to a Stockholder, without any notice or other action by any Person, upon the first to occur of (a) the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (b) the Effective Time, (c) the entry without the prior written consent of such Stockholder into any amendment or modification to the Merger Agreement or any waiver of any of the Companys rights under the Merger Agreement, in each case, that results in a decrease in the Offer Price (as defined in the Merger Agreement on the date hereof) or changes the form of consideration or the Milestones, Milestone Payment Dates or Milestone Payment (as each is defined in the CVR Agreement) in a manner adverse to stockholders of the Company, or (d) the mutual written consent of Parent and such Stockholder.

5.3. Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by each party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
5.4. Expenses. All fees and expenses incurred in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such fees and expenses, whether or not the Offer or the Merger is consummated.

-8-
the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement shall not be assigned by any party (including by operation of law, by merger or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided, that Parent or Merger Sub may assign any of their respective rights and obligations to any direct or indirect Subsidiary of Parent, but no such assignment shall relieve Parent or Merger Sub, as the case may be, of its obligations hereunder.
5.6. Enforcement of the Agreement. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any Stockholder did not perform any of the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breached any such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that Parent and Merger Sub shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon Parent and Merger Sub will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon Parent or Merger Sub, and the exercise by Parent or Merger Sub of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.
5.7. Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
(a) Each Stockholder (i) consents to submit itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, solely if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the United States District Court sitting in New Castle County in the State of Delaware with respect to any dispute arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, and (iii) agrees that it will not bring any action arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than any such court. Each Stockholder irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any Legal Proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the chancery courts of the State of Delaware or in any Federal court located in the State of Delaware, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Legal Proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each Stockholder hereby agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail in accordance with Section 5.1 shall be effective service of process for any proceeding arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(b) EACH STOCKHOLDER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. EACH STOCKHOLDER CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF PARENT OR MERGER SUB HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT PARENT OR MERGER SUB WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) EACH STOCKHOLDER
-9-
UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATION OF THIS WAIVER, (III) EACH STOCKHOLDER MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) EACH STOCKHOLDER HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
5.8. Governing Law. This Agreement, and any dispute arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.
5.9. Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

5.11. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner.
5.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement or any counterpart may be executed and delivered by facsimile copies or delivered by electronic communications by portable document format (.pdf), each of which shall be deemed an original.
5.13. Interpretation. The words hereof, herein, hereby, herewith and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and article, section, paragraph and schedule references are to the articles, sections, paragraphs and schedules of this Agreement unless otherwise specified.

-10-
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 Person by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.
5.14. Further Assurances. Each Stockholder will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all further documents and instruments and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws and regulations, to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
5.15. Capacity as Stockholder. Each Stockholder signs this Agreement solely in such Stockholders capacity as a stockholder of the Company, and not in such Stockholders capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall in any way restrict a director or officer of the Company in the taking of any actions (or failure to act) in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company, or in the exercise of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer of the Company, or prevent or be construed to create any obligation on the part of any director or officer of the Company from taking any action in his or her capacity as such director or officer, and no action taken in any such capacity as an officer or director of the Company shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this Agreement.
