      WHEREAS , the combination of SurModics and InnoRx will be effected by the terms of this Agreement through a transaction in which Merger Sub will merge with and into InnoRx, and the Stockholders will become stockholders of SurModics (the “ Merger ”) and where InnoRx, as the surviving corporation of the Merger, shall shortly after the Merger merge with and into SurModics (the “ Second Merger ” and, together with the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the “ Contemplated Transactions ”);

      WHEREAS , the Merger and Second Merger are together intended to qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”); and

      WHEREAS , the Closing (defined below) shall not occur unless and until, among other events, all of the Stockholders have signed this Agreement.

      NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth below, the parties agree as follows:

      1.3 Effects of the Merger .

(a)  

At the Effective Time: (i) the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and Merger Sub shall be merged with and into InnoRx (Merger Sub and InnoRx are sometimes referred to herein as the “ Constituent Corporations ” and InnoRx following consummation of the Merger is sometimes referred to herein as the “ Surviving Corporation ”), (ii) the Certificate of Incorporation of InnoRx shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and (iii) the Bylaws of InnoRx as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

 

(b)  

At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all the rights, privileges, powers and franchises of a public as well as of a private nature, and be subject to all the restrictions, disabilities and duties of each of the Constituent Corporations.

      1.4 Directors and Officers . The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, and the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed.

      1.5 Second Merger . As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, SurModics hereby covenants and agrees that it shall adopt and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to adopt an agreement and plan of merger and reorganization pursuant to which the Surviving Corporation shall be merged with and into SurModics, with SurModics being the surviving entity of such merger.

It is intended that, absent a change in facts or law subsequent to the date hereof, the Second Merger shall occur and that the Merger and the Second Merger together qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Code, and that this Agreement constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of section 1.368-2(g) of the regulations promulgated under the Code.

(d)  

Merger Consideration; Initial Payment . The aggregate maximum consideration payable or issuable in connection with the Merger (the “ Merger Consideration ”) shall consist of the cash payable at Closing as provided below (including cash in lieu of fractional shares of SurModics Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.2), the shares of SurModics common stock, par value $0.01 (“ SurModics Common Stock ”) issuable at Closing as provided below and the additional shares of SurModics Common Stock issuable according to the terms of Section 2.3.

      2.2 No Fractional Shares . No certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of SurModics Common Stock shall be issued, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a stockholder of SurModics. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of InnoRx Common Stock exchanged pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of SurModics Common Stock shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share of SurModics Common Stock multiplied by Twenty-Seven Dollars And Fifty-Five Cents ($27.55).

      2.3 Milestone Payments .

(a)  

Subject to set-off pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VI, SurModics shall cause to be issued and delivered to the Stockholders shares of SurModics Common Stock in an aggregate maximum amount equal to 600,073 shares (the “ Milestone Stock ”), based upon the achievement of certain milestones as follows only if each such milestone occurrence results from use or application, directly or indirectly, of InnoRx’s coil or sub-retinal drug delivery technology (each such issuance upon a milestone is referred to as a “ Milestone Payment ”), it being expressly agreed that no development activity or other occurrences related directly or indirectly to InnoRx’s Genistein or Retinoic technologies shall be, or satisfy all or any portion of, any of the milestone occurrences set forth below:

     (i) Milestone 1: 60,007 shares of SurModics Common Stock upon the approval of an investigational new drug (“ IND ”) application with the United States Food & Drug Administration (“ FDA ”).

     (ii) Milestone 2: 60,007 shares of SurModics Common Stock upon the implantation of a device into the final patient (i.e., so that 100% of enrolled patients have been implanted with a device) included in the Phase I clinical trial, as such study has been approved by the FDA as a result of the approved IND.

     (iii) Milestone 3: 60,007 shares of SurModics Common Stock upon the implantation of a device into the final patient (i.e., so that 100% of enrolled patients have been implanted with a device) in the Phase II clinical trial, as such study has been approved by the FDA as a result of the approved IND.

-4-


 

     (iv) Milestone 4: 60,007 shares of SurModics Common Stock upon the implantation of a device into the final patient (i.e., so that 100% of enrolled patients have been implanted with a device) in the Phase III clinical trial, as such study has been approved by the FDA as a result of the approved IND.

     (v) Milestone 5: 120,015 shares of SurModics Common Stock upon the filing of a new drug application (“ NDA ”) with the FDA in a form expected, in good faith, to result in FDA approval of the NDA.

     (vi) Milestone 6: 120,015 shares of SurModics Common Stock upon the receipt of FDA approval of an NDA and the first bona fide commercial sale in the U.S. to an unaffiliated party of any coil or subretinal drug delivery product subsequent to such approval.

     (vii) Milestone 7: 120,015 shares of SurModics Common Stock upon the bona fide cumulative commercial sale in the U.S. of all coil and all subretinal drug delivery devices to unaffiliated parties following NDA approval that results in cumulative net revenues from all such bona fide end-user sales in the U.S. following NDA approval to unaffiliated parties to equal or exceed $25 million.

(b)  

The maximum number of shares of SurModics Common Stock issuable with respect to a particular Milestone Payment (the “ Milestone Stock Number ”) shall be the above stated number of shares for such particular Milestone Payment. Within 30 days of achievement of each milestone, each Stockholder shall be entitled to receive, assuming prior delivery of such Stockholder’s InnoRx share certificates at the Closing, for each share of InnoRx Common Stock owned by such Stockholder immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(b)), the number of shares of SurModics Common Stock (with respect to each milestone, the “ Per Share Milestone Stock Number ”) as equals the amount obtained by dividing: (i) the applicable Milestone Stock Number that is issuable to the Stockholders, less any shares of Milestone Stock that shall be issued into the Escrow Account pursuant to Sections 6.3 and 6.4 in accordance with the set-off procedures (including the maximum set-off amounts) as provided therein, if any, by (ii) 404,241. The determination of whether a particular milestone has been achieved shall be made independent of the status of all other milestones. Achieving multiple milestones simultaneously will result in issuance of Milestone Stock to the Stockholders simultaneously, subject to the indemnification rights of SurModics pursuant to Sections 6.3 and 6.4. The specified amount of Merger Consideration for each milestone shall be payable upon the achievement of each milestone independent of the status of all other milestones, and each Milestone Payment will be payable only once and only upon the first achievement of such milestone whether or not the occurrence set forth in such milestone also subsequently occurs with respect to another product or technology.

 

(c)  

Subject to Section 2.2, the aggregate number of shares of SurModics Common Stock SurModics shall cause to be issued to each Stockholder upon the satisfaction of each milestone shall equal the number of shares of InnoRx Common Stock owned by the Stockholder immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(b)) multiplied by the Per Share Milestone Stock Number for such milestone. Two stock certificates totaling such aggregate number of shares of SurModics Common Stock shall be issued to the Stockholder, one of which stock certificates shall be for such number of shares as SurModics and the Stockholders’ Representative shall have determined in good faith to constitute imputed interest.

 

(d)  

To the extent any milestones are achieved prior to Closing, the issuance of the Merger Consideration in connection with each such milestone shall be made at the Closing. SurModics and InnoRx agree that any and all milestones (so long as the milestone occurrence results, directly

-5-


 

 

 

  

or indirectly, from use of InnoRx’s coil or sub-retinal drug delivery technology) may be satisfied solely by InnoRx (or any successor to InnoRx), jointly by InnoRx (or any successor to InnoRx) and development partners, including licensees of InnoRx (or any successor to InnoRx), or solely by such development partners or licensees, or by their respective successors. To the extent any milestone is achieved, all prior milestones shall be deemed to also have been achieved and Milestone Payments will be made on such prior milestones as well.

 

(e)  

From and after the Effective Time of the Merger, any and all decisions regarding development efforts which SurModics or InnoRx shall cause to be expended with respect to InnoRx technology or related matters directly or indirectly effecting the progress of InnoRx or the achievement of Milestone Payments shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of SurModics without any express or implied obligation or liability to any party or Stockholder other than SurModics agrees, subject to the following, that it shall, within the five-year period beginning on the Effective Time, expend or cause to be expended an aggregate of Five Million Dollars ($5.0 million) (“ Development Funds ”) on the continued development of and commercialization efforts for InnoRx’s coil and/or subretinal drug delivery technology (the “ Key Technology ”), which efforts shall include expending a portion of the Development Funds, the amount of such portion to be determined in the discretion of SurModics, to provide beginning in 2005 a physical location in the Southern California area to facilitate development efforts, funding for developmental activities for the Key Technology, and management and personnel to administer the business of InnoRx. SurModics’ obligation to so cause the Development Funds to be expended is subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

 

 

     (i) all internal and external amounts, costs and expenses which SurModics causes to be expended with respect to the Key Technology, including in connection with research and development efforts, animal and clinical studies, prototype development and refinement, regulatory compliance and all other necessary and appropriate efforts to develop and commercialize the Key Technology, whether performed internally or externally, shall be applied toward the satisfaction of SurModics’ Development Funds obligation;

     (ii) SurModics shall not be required to adjust its ordinary accounting methods or restrict or limit its ability to allocate costs and expenses to projects, including the projects involving Key Technology, as it would in the ordinary course of its business;

     (iii) SurModics may cause its Development Fund obligation to be satisfied in installments of any amount without regard to minimum or maximum limits for any period and from time to time at any time as determined in SurModics’ sole discretion;

     (iv) amounts, costs and expenses expended by development partners engaged by SurModics or InnoRx with respect to development and commercialization efforts for Key Technology shall be deemed to have been expended by SurModics for purposes of this Section 2.3(e) to the same extent as if expended directly by SurModics;

     (v) SurModics’ obligation to expend the Development Funds as described above represents SurModics’ only obligation to continue development efforts for the Key Technology, and so long as SurModics so satisfies such obligation with respect to the Development Funds (subject to the qualification of Section 2.3(e)(vi) below), there shall be no liability to any Stockholder with respect thereto, and the Stockholders agree that they shall not assert any claim with respect thereto or use as a basis for any claim that SurModics failed to undertake reasonable and good faith efforts to pursue commercialization of the Key Technology or acted in bad faith to frustrate the achievement of any milestones; and

-6-


 

     (vi) notwithstanding the foregoing, if SurModics determines in good faith in its sole discretion that a Material Adverse Effect (defined below) has occurred that makes further development of or commercialization efforts for Key Technology not in the best interests of SurModics or its stockholders, SurModics shall not be obligated to continue expending funds for or allocating resources to the continued development of or commercialization efforts for Key Technology regardless of the actual amount of Development Funds theretofore expended and SurModics’ obligation to cause the Development Funds to be expended shall terminate and have no further force or effect, and all obligations to make any subsequent Milestone Payments shall thereupon cease and terminate and be of no further force or effect. As used in this Section 2.3(e) only, “ Material Adverse Effect ” shall mean any event, change or effect that, when taken individually or together with all other adverse changes and effects, is or is reasonably likely in the good faith judgment of SurModics’ board of directors to have a materially adverse impact on the likelihood that devices or related technology to be developed from Key Technology will receive final regulatory approval or clearance from the FDA to market or sell such devices in the United States, on the commercial viability of any devices being developed from Key Technology or on projected financial results from sales of devices being developed from Key Technology, including but not limited to adverse results in clinical testing and data, injuries, side effects or other complications or adverse reactions in administering or utilizing the product, unsatisfactory efficacy levels, or similar occurrences of developments.

(f)  

All references to “InnoRx” in this Section 2.3 will include SurModics, any unincorporated division, line of business, product line, business unit or subsidiary of SurModics or a subsidiary or parent corporation of SurModics, whether or not such is formally or legally organized as a separate entity, or other person or entity, that is a successor to InnoRx.

 

(g)  

The parties acknowledge that each certificate representing a share of SurModics Common Stock issued pursuant to the Merger will, pursuant to the Rights Agreement dated as of April 5, 1999, between SurModics and Firstar Bank Milwaukee, N.A. or any successor or substitute agreement thereto (the “ Rights Plan ”), also represent the number of SurModics preferred share purchase rights associated with one share of SurModics Common Stock as provided in the Rights Plan.

 

(h)  

If after the date hereof and prior to the issuance of a Milestone Payment, the outstanding shares of SurModics Common Stock have been changed into or exchanged for a different number of shares, different securities or other property or consideration by reason of any stock split, reverse split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, combination, share exchange, merger or similar transaction (an “ Adjusting Event ”), all amounts of Milestone Stock for each such Milestone Payment thereafter issuable (and all references thereto in this Section 2.3, Section 6.3 and otherwise) shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such transaction and to thereafter reflect that which such originally stated amount of Milestone Stock for such subsequent Milestone Payments would have received or been changed into or exchanged for had such been outstanding prior to such Adjusting Event. SurModics agrees that it shall be a condition precedent to any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of SurModics or InnoRx (or its successor) other than a sale of the assets of InnoRx to SurModics or to an entity controlled by SurModics that the third party acquiring such assets fully assume all of SurModics’ obligations under this Section 2.3, and SurModics agrees that it shall be a condition precedent to any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Key Technology (including any license that transfers exclusive rights to substantially all of the assets of the Key Technology) by SurModics or InnoRx (or any affiliate of SurModics or InnoRx) other than a sale, transfer of license by InnoRx to SurModics or to an entity controlled by SurModics that the third party acquiring such assets of the Key Technology assume all of SurModics’ obligations under Section 2.3(e).

The InnoRx Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in paragraphs corresponding to the numbered and lettered paragraphs contained in this Article III ( provided, however, that InnoRx and the Stockholders will be deemed to have adequately disclosed with respect to any section or subsection any matters that are clearly described elsewhere in such document if the applicability of such disclosure to such non-referenced sections or subsections is clearly apparent). Whenever the term “to InnoRx’s knowledge,” “InnoRx is not aware” or a similar expression appears in any representation or warranty in this Article III, it means either to the actual knowledge of Dr. Eugene de Juan, Jr. or K.W. Michael Chambers or that which a prudent individual in the position of such persons should be expected to discover or otherwise become aware of in the course of conducting a reasonable investigation concerning the existence of such fact or other matter. Whenever the term “InnoRx has received no notice” or like expression appears in any representation or warranty in this Article III, it means that neither Dr. Eugene de Juan, Jr. nor K.W. Michael Chambers has received actual oral or written notice of the matter to which such term is applied.

     Except as otherwise indicated, as used herein, the term “ InnoRx Material Adverse Effect ” shall mean any event, change, circumstance, condition or effect that has or is reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on: (i) the business (including its current products or products identified for development), operations, assets, properties, results of operations, or financial condition of InnoRx considered as a whole; or (ii) the ability of the Surviving Corporation or SurModics to conduct such business (as presently conducted or proposed to be conducted) following the Effective Time; or (iii) the ability of SurModics to exercise full rights of ownership of InnoRx or its assets or business; provided, however, any adverse event, change, circumstance, condition or effect in the industries in which InnoRx operates, or in the economy generally, that do not affect InnoRx disproportionately more than other companies, shall not be deemed to constitute, and shall not be taken into account in determining whether there has been, or is reasonably likely to be, an InnoRx Material Adverse Effect.
