Ladies and Gentlemen:
Conceptus, Inc., a Delaware

and sell to the underwriters named in Schedule A annexed
hereto (the “ Underwriters ”), for whom you are
acting as representative, $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of
its 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “ Firm

covering over-allotments, the Company proposes to grant to the
Underwriters the option to purchase from the Company up to an
additional $11,250,000 aggregate principal amount of the
Company’s 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the
“ Additional Notes ”). The Firm Notes and
the Additional Notes are hereinafter collectively sometimes
referred to as the “ Notes .”
The Notes are to be issued pursuant
to an indenture to be dated as of February 12, 2007, between the
Company and Wells Fargo, N.A., as trustee (the “
Trustee ”), as supplemented by a supplemental
indenture to be dated as of February 12, 2007, between the Company
and the Trustee (such indenture, as supplemented, the “
Indenture ”). The Notes will be convertible in
accordance with their terms and the terms of the Indenture into
cash and, if applicable, shares of the common stock (the “
Common Stock ”) of the Company, $0.003 par value per
share (the “ Shares ”).

will enter into certain convertible note hedge and warrant
transactions (collectively, the “ Hedging Transactions
”), as described in the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and Prospectus
under the caption “Convertible note hedge and warrant
transactions,” pursuant to agreements (the “ Hedging
Transaction Agreements ”) described
thereunder.
The Company has prepared and filed,

amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively,
the “ Act ”), with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “ Commission ”) a registration
statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-139455) under the Act (the

prospectus, which registration statement registers the offer and
sale of the Notes and the Shares under the Act and incorporates by
reference documents which the Company has filed, or will file, in
accordance with the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder
(collectively, the “ Exchange Act ”).
Amendments to such registration statement, if necessary or
appropriate, have been similarly prepared and filed with the
Commission in accordance with the Act. Such registration
statement, as so amended, has become effective under the
Act.

Over-Allotment Option ”) to purchase, and upon the
basis of the representations and warranties and subject to the
terms and conditions herein set forth, the Underwriters shall have
the right to purchase, severally and not jointly, from the Company,
ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of Firm
Notes to be purchased by each of them, all or a portion of the
Additional Notes as may be necessary to cover over-allotments made

bears to the aggregate principal amount of Firm Notes, subject to
adjustment in accordance with Section 8 hereof.
