|
At
the Effective Time: (i) the separate existence of Merger Sub

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

|
|
(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

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.

Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial
directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in

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

with SurModics being the surviving entity of such merger. Upon the
effectiveness of the Second Merger, all of the property, rights,

Code.

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

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.

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.

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).

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.

to conduct such business (as presently conducted or proposed to be

circumstance, condition or effect in the industries in which InnoRx
