ARTICLE II
THE MERGER AND EXCHANGE
Section 2.1. The Merger.
(a) Immediately prior to the Effective Time Celtrix will execute and
deliver the Certificate of Merger and file it with the Secretary of State in
accordance with the DGCL. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
at the Effective Time, Merger Subsidiary shall be merged with and into Celtrix
in accordance with the provisions of, and with the effects provided in,
Subchapter IX of the DGCL (the "Merger"). Celtrix shall be the surviving
corporation resulting from the Merger and as a result shall become a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent and shall continue to be governed by the laws
of the State of Delaware and the separate corporate existence of Merger
Subsidiary shall cease. The Merger is intended to qualify as a reorganization
under Section 368(a) of the Code and as part of an exchange described in Section
351 of the Code.
(b) Pursuant to the Merger, each share of Celtrix Common Stock and each
share of Celtrix Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time (other than (i) shares of Celtrix Common Stock and Celtrix Preferred Stock
held in Celtrix's treasury, which shall be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.1(d)
hereof, (ii) shares of Celtrix Common Stock and Preferred Stock held by Merger
Subsidiary, which shall be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.1(d) hereof and (iii)
Dissenting Shares) shall by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the
part of the Merger Subsidiary, Celtrix or the holder thereof, be converted into
and become (X) in the case of each share of Celtrix Common Stock one (1) share
of Parent Common Stock and (Y) in the case of each share of Celtrix Preferred
Stock, that number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to $1,000, plus all
accrued and unpaid dividends on such share of Celtrix Preferred Stock through
the Effective Time, divided by $2.0006 (in each case, subject to adjustment for
any stock split,
-14-
24
reverse split, stock dividend or other similar distribution with respect to
Celtrix Common Stock or any series of Celtrix Preferred Stock, as the case may
be) (the "Merger Consideration"). All such shares of Celtrix Common Stock and
Celtrix Preferred Stock, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and
shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each
holder of a certificate representing any such shares of Celtrix Common Stock or
Celtrix Preferred Stock shall cease to have any ownership or other rights with
respect thereto, except the right to receive the shares of Parent Common Stock,
in each case upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section
2.3 and without any interest thereon. Pursuant to the Merger, at the Effective
Time, each share of Common Stock of Merger Subsidiary issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and
without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into and
exchanged for one share of Celtrix Common Stock. The separate existence and
corporate organization of Merger Subsidiary shall cease upon the Effective Time.
(c) No fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in
connection with the conversion of Celtrix Common Stock or Celtrix Preferred
Stock in the Merger and the distribution of Parent Common Stock in respect
thereof, but in lieu of such fraction, the Exchange Agent shall make a cash
payment (without interest and subject to the payment of any applicable
withholding Taxes) equal to the same fraction of the market value of a full
share of Parent Common Stock, computed on the basis of the mean of the high and
low sales prices of Parent Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq National or Nasdaq
SmallCap, as the case may be, on the first full day on which the Parent Common
Stock is traded on Nasdaq National or Nasdaq SmallCap, as the case may be, after
the Effective Time. Parent and Celtrix agree to use their best efforts to cause
the Merger to be consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The
parties acknowledge that payment of the cash consideration in lieu of issuing
fractional shares was not separately bargained-for consideration but merely
represents a mechanical rounding-off for purposes of simplifying the corporate
and accounting complexities which would otherwise be caused by the issuance of
fractional shares.
(d) At the Effective Time, each share held in the treasury of Celtrix
and each share of Celtrix Common Stock and Celtrix Preferred Stock held by
Merger Subsidiary shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the
part of Celtrix or Merger Subsidiary be canceled, retired and cease to exist and
no payment shall be made with respect thereto.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares
of Celtrix Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and
held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto
in writing and who has demanded appraisal for such shares of Celtrix Capital
Stock in accordance with the DGCL (a "Celtrix Dissenting Holder") shall not be
converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration, but shall, from and
after the Effective Time, have only such rights as are afforded to the holders
thereof by the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, unless such Celtrix
Dissenting Holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his right to
appraisal. If, after the Effective Time, such Celtrix Dissenting Holder fails to
perfect or withdraws or loses his right to appraisal, such shares of Celtrix
Capital Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective
Time into a right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such
shares of Celtrix Capital
-15-
25
Stock pursuant to this Section 2.1. Celtrix shall give Insmed (i) prompt notice
of any demands received by Celtrix for appraisal of shares, withdrawals of such
demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by
Celtrix and (ii) all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands.
Celtrix shall not, except with the prior written consent of Insmed, make any
payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, or offer to settle, or settle
any such demands.
Section 2.2. The Exchange.
(a) Immediately prior to the Effective Time Parent shall execute and
deliver Articles of Exchange, which shall include the Plan of Exchange, and file
it with the SCC in accordance with the VSCA. Subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, the Plan of Exchange and the VSCA, and without any action on
the part of Parent, Insmed or the holders of Insmed Capital Stock, at the
Effective Time each share of Insmed Common Stock, Insmed Series A Preferred
Stock and Insmed Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares) shall be exchanged
for 3.50 shares of Parent Common Stock (subject to adjustment for any stock
split, reverse split, stock dividend or other similar distribution with respect
to the Insmed Common Stock, Insmed Series A Preferred Stock or Insmed Series B
Preferred Stock, as the case may be) (the "Exchange") (the shares of Parent
Common Stock received pursuant to the Exchange, the "Exchange Consideration").
Parent shall acquire and become the owner and holder of each issued and
outstanding share of Insmed Capital Stock so exchanged. The former holders of
shares of Insmed Capital Stock so exchanged shall cease to have any ownership or
other rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the shares of
Parent Common Stock upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with
Section 2.3 and without any interest thereon. Each share of Parent Common Stock
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled
and shall thereupon constitute an authorized unissued share of Parent Common
Stock. The Exchange is intended to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368
of the Code or a tax-free exchange under Section 351 of the Code.
(b) No fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in
connection with the exchange of Insmed Common Stock or Insmed Preferred Stock in
the Exchange and the distribution of Parent Common Stock in respect thereof, but
in lieu of such fraction, the Exchange Agent shall make a cash payment (without
interest and subject to the payment of any applicable withholding Taxes) equal
to the same fraction of the market value of a full share of Parent Common Stock,
computed on the basis of the mean of the high and low sales prices of Parent
Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq National or Nasdaq SmallCap, as the case may
be, on the first full day on which the Parent Common Stock is traded on Nasdaq
National or Nasdaq SmallCap, as the case may be, after the Effective Time.
Parent and Insmed agree to use their best efforts to cause the Exchange to be
consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Plan of
Exchange. The parties acknowledge that payment of the cash consideration in lieu
of issuing fractional shares was not separately bargained-for consideration but
merely represents a mechanical rounding-off for purposes of simplifying the
corporate and accounting complexities which would otherwise be caused by the
issuance of fractional shares.
-16-
26
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares
of Insmed Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and
held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Exchange or consented thereto
in writing and who has demanded appraisal for such shares of Insmed Capital
Stock in accordance with the VSCA (an "Insmed Dissenting Holder") shall not be
exchanged into the Exchange Consideration, but shall, from and after the
Effective Time, have only such rights as are afforded to the holders thereof by
the provisions of Section 13.1-730 of the VSCA, unless such Insmed Dissenting
Holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his right to appraisal.
If, after the Effective Time, such Insmed Dissenting Holder fails to perfect or
withdraws or loses his right to appraisal, such shares of Insmed Capital Stock
shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into a
right to receive the Exchange Consideration payable in respect of such shares of
Insmed Capital Stock pursuant to this Section 2.2. Insmed shall give Celtrix (i)
prompt notice of any demands received by Insmed for appraisal of shares,
withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the
VSCA and received by Insmed and (ii) all negotiations and proceedings with
respect to such demands.
Section 2.3. Exchange of Certificates.
(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent, Celtrix and Insmed shall
appoint the Exchange Agent to act as the exchange agent in connection with the
Merger and Exchange. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.1 and 2.2, from
and after the Effective Time, each holder of a certificate which immediately
prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Celtrix Capital
Stock and Insmed Capital Stock (the "Certificates") shall be entitled to receive
in exchange therefor, upon surrender thereof to the Exchange Agent, a
certificate or certificates representing the number of whole shares of Parent
Common Stock into which such holder's shares were converted in the Merger or
Exchange, as the case may be, plus cash payable in lieu of a fractional share.
Immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent will deliver to the Exchange
Agent, in trust for the benefit of the holders of Celtrix Capital Stock and
Insmed Capital Stock, shares of Parent Common Stock (together with sufficient
cash in immediately available funds in lieu of fractional shares, as provided in
Sections 2.1 and 2.2 hereof) necessary to make the exchanges contemplated by
Sections 2.1 and 2.2 hereof on a timely basis.
(b) Promptly after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to
each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior
to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Celtrix Capital Stock
and Insmed Capital Stock whose shares were converted or exchanged into the right
to receive shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2
herein, a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be
effected, and risk of loss and title to Certificates shall pass, only upon
proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for
use in effecting the surrender of Certificates in exchange for certificates
representing shares of Parent Common Stock. Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent
of a Certificate, together with such letter of transmittal duly executed, and
any other required documents, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled
to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing that number of whole
shares of Parent Common Stock and, if applicable, a check representing the cash
consideration to which such holder has the right to receive for a fractional
share, as set forth in the Certificate of Merger
-17-
27
and the Plan of Exchange, and such Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be
cancelled. No holder of a Certificate or Certificates shall be entitled to
receive any dividend or other distribution from Parent until the surrender of
such holder's Certificate for a certificate or certificates representing shares
of Parent Common Stock. Upon such surrender, there shall be paid to the holder
the amount of any dividends or other distributions (without interest and subject
to any applicable withholding Tax) which theretofore became payable, but which
were not paid by reason of the foregoing, with respect to the number of whole
shares of Parent Common Stock represented by the certificates issued upon
surrender, which amount shall be delivered to the Exchange Agent by Parent from
time to time as such dividends or other distributions are declared. If delivery
of certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock is to be made to a
person other than the person in whose name the Certificate surrendered is
registered or if any certificate for shares of Parent Common Stock is to be
issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered therefor
is registered, it shall be a condition of such delivery or issuance that the
Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in proper
form for transfer and that the person requesting such delivery or issuance shall
pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of such delivery or issuance
to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or
establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not
applicable. Until surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Section
2.3, each Certificate shall represent for all purposes only the right to receive
shares of Parent Common Stock (and cash in lieu of a fractional share), as
provided in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 hereto, without any interest thereon.
(c) After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock
transfer books of Parent, as the surviving corporation in the Merger and
Exchange, of the shares of Celtrix Capital Stock or Insmed Capital Stock that
were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the
Effective Time, Certificates are presented to Parent for transfer, they shall be
cancelled and exchanged for shares of Parent Common Stock as provided in
Sections 2.1 and 2.2 hereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this
Section 2.3.
(d) Any shares of Parent Common Stock (and any accrued dividends and
distributions thereon), and any cash held by the Exchange Agent for payment in
lieu of fractional shares, that remain unclaimed by the former shareholders of
Celtrix and Insmed six months after the Effective Time shall be delivered by the
Exchange Agent to Parent. Any former shareholders of Celtrix and Insmed who have
not theretofore complied with this Section 2.3 shall thereafter look only to
Parent for satisfaction of their claim for the consideration set forth in the
Certificate of Merger and Plan of Exchange, as the case may be, without any
interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Parent, Celtrix nor
Insmed shall be liable to any holder of shares of Celtrix Capital Stock or
Insmed Capital Stock for any shares of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or
distributions with respect thereto) delivered to a public official pursuant to
any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.
Section 2.4. Stock Options and Warrants.
(a) At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of
Celtrix Common Stock (a "Celtrix Stock Option" or collectively, "Celtrix Stock
Options") as fully
-18-
28
identified on Schedule 5.9(i) of the Celtrix Disclosure Letter, whether vested
or unvested, shall be assumed by Parent (all of such plans or agreements
pursuant to which any Celtrix Stock Option has been issued or may be issued are
referred to collectively as the "Celtrix Plans"). To effect that assumption,
each Celtrix Stock Option shall be replaced with an option to acquire, on the
same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Celtrix Stock Option,
the same number of shares of Parent Common Stock as the holder of such Celtrix
Stock Option would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger had such
holder exercised such option in full immediately prior to the Effective Time, at
a price per share equal to (y) the aggregate exercise price for the shares of
Celtrix Common Stock otherwise purchasable pursuant to such Celtrix Stock Option
divided by (z) the number of full shares of Parent Common Stock purchasable
pursuant to such replacement option pursuant to this Section 2.4 rounded up to
the nearest whole cent; provided, however, that in the case of any option to
which section 421 of the Code applies by reason of its qualification under
section 422 of the Code ("incentive stock options" or "ISOs"), the option price,
the number of shares purchasable pursuant to such option and the terms and
conditions of exercise of such option shall be determined in order to comply
with section 424(a) of the Code rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Parent
shall make such assumption in such manner that (i) Parent is a corporation
"assuming a stock option in a transaction to which Section 424(a) applies"
within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code or (ii) to the extent that Section
424 of the Code does not apply to such Celtrix Stock Option, Parent would be
such a corporation were Section 424 of the Code applicable to such Celtrix Stock
Option.
(b) At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of
Insmed Common Stock (an "Insmed Stock Option" or collectively, "Insmed Stock
Options") whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed by Parent (all of such
plans or agreements pursuant to which any Insmed Stock Option has been issued or
may be issued are referred to collectively as the "Insmed Plans"). To effect
that assumption, each Insmed Stock Option shall be replaced with an option to
acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Insmed
Stock Option, the same number of shares of Parent Common Stock as the holder of
such Insmed Stock Option would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the
Exchange had such holder exercised such option in full immediately prior to the
Effective Time, at a price per share equal to (y) the aggregate exercise price
for the shares of Insmed Common Stock otherwise purchasable pursuant to such
Insmed Stock Option divided by (z) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock
purchasable pursuant to such replacement option pursuant to this Section 2.4
rounded up to the nearest one tenth of a cent; provided, however, that in the
case of any ISOs, the option price, the number of shares purchasable pursuant to
such option and the terms and conditions of exercise of such option shall be
determined in order to comply with section 424(a) of the Code rounded up to the
nearest one tenth of a cent. Parent shall make such assumption in such manner
that (i) Parent is a corporation "assuming a stock option in a transaction to
which Section 424(a) applies" within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code or
(ii) to the extent that Section 424 of the Code does not apply to such Insmed
Stock Option, Parent would be such a corporation were Section 424 of the Code
applicable to such Insmed Stock Option.
(c) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall
deliver to the holders of Celtrix Stock Options and Insmed Stock Options
appropriate notices setting forth such
-19-
29
holders' rights pursuant to the respective Celtrix Plans and Insmed Plans and
this Section 2.4, and shall amend or replace the agreements evidencing the
grants of such Insmed Options and Celtrix Options as required by Section 2.4(a)
and Section 2.4(b) after giving effect to the Merger and Exchange. Parent shall
comply with the terms of the Celtrix Plans and Insmed Plans as in effect prior
to the Effective Time and ensure, to the extent required by, and subject to the
provisions of, such Plans, that Celtrix Stock Options and Insmed Stock Options
which qualified as incentive stock options immediately prior to the Effective
Time continue to qualify as incentive stock options of Parent after the
Effective Time.
(d) Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for
issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon
exercise of Celtrix Stock Options and Insmed Stock Options assumed in accordance
with this Section 2.4. Such action shall include, without limitation (i)
adoption of the Insmed, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the "New Stock Plan") on or
before the Effective Time; and (ii) registration of shares of Parent Common
Stock that will be issuable under the New Stock Plan (including those that will
be delivered on exercise of Celtrix Stock Options and Insmed Stock Options
assumed in accordance with this Section 2.4) pursuant to a registration
statement on Form S-8 filed within 10 business days of the Effective Time. In
addition, prior to the Effective Time, the sole shareholder of the Parent shall
approve the New Stock Plan. Following the Effective Time, Parent shall use its
best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or
registration statements for so long as options or other awards granted
thereunder remain outstanding. With respect to those individuals who, subsequent
to the Merger and Exchange, will be subject to the reporting requirements under
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, where applicable, Parent shall administer the
New Stock Plan in a manner that complies with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the
Exchange Act, as it may be amended from time to time.
(e) At the Effective Time, each of the (i) warrants to purchase shares
of Celtrix Common Stock (each a "Celtrix Warrant"), and (ii) warrants to
purchase shares of Insmed Common Stock (each a "Insmed Warrant") which then
remains outstanding shall be replaced with a warrant to purchase, on the same
terms and conditions as were applicable under such Celtrix Warrant or Insmed
Warrant, as the case may be, the same number of shares of Parent Common Stock as
the holder of such Celtrix Warrant or Insmed Warrant would have been entitled to
receive pursuant to the Merger and Exchange had such holder exercised such
warrant in full immediately prior to the Effective Time, at a price per share
equal to (y) the aggregate exercise price for the shares of Celtrix Common Stock
or shares of Insmed Common Stock otherwise purchasable pursuant to such Celtrix
Warrant or Insmed Warrant, as the case may be, divided by (z) the number of full
shares of Parent Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such replacement warrant
rounded up to the nearest whole cent.
As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver to
each holder of a Celtrix Warrant or Insmed Warrant appropriate notices setting
forth such holder's rights pursuant to the warrants to purchase shares of Parent
Common Stock, and shall amend or replace the agreements evidencing such Celtrix
Warrants or Insmed Warrants as required by this Section 2.4(e) after giving
effect to the Merger and Exchange.
-20-
30
Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance
a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise
of Celtrix Warrants or Insmed Warrants replaced with warrants to purchase Parent
Common Stock in accordance with this Section 2.4(e).
(f) In lieu of issuing any options or warrants to purchase a fractional
share of Parent Common Stock, Parent will deliver to holders of Insmed Stock
Options or Insmed Warrants cash, within 30 days of Closing, payable by check,
equal to the difference between (i) the fractional share multiplied by the mean
of the high and low sales price of Parent Common Stock on the first full day of
trading on Nasdaq National or Nasdaq SmallCap, as the case may be, after the
Closing, and (ii) the exercise price per fractional share of each Insmed Stock
Option or Insmed Warrant divided by 3.5.
(g) In lieu of issuing any options or warrants to purchase a fractional
share of Parent Common Stock, Parent will deliver to holders of Celtrix Stock
Options or Celtrix Warrants, cash within 30 days of Closing, payable by check,
equal to the difference between (i) the fractional share multiplied by the mean
of the high and low sales price of Parent Common Stock on the first full day of
trading on Nasdaq National or Nasdaq SmallCap, as the case may be, after the
Closing, and (ii) the exercise price per fractional share of each Celtrix Stock
Option or Celtrix Warrant.
(h) Each warrant or option to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock
issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time shall continue to be issued
and outstanding after the Effective Time and shall continue to have such rights
and preferences as existed prior to the Effective Time. All shares of Parent
Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of such warrants and options
shall continue to be reserved for issuance after the Effective Time.

subject to such qualifications and exceptions as are set forth in a disclosure
letter delivered and dated as of the date hereof, signed by an executive officer
of Celtrix (the "Celtrix Disclosure Letter"), as follows:
Section 5.1. Organization and Authority of the Celtrix Companies. Each

standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of organization. Each
of the Celtrix Companies has full corporate or partnership power to carry on

such properties and assets now are owned, operated or held. Each of the Celtrix
Companies is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business, and is in good
standing, in each jurisdiction where the failure to be so qualified would have a
Material Adverse Effect on the Celtrix Companies. The copies of the Certificate
of Incorporation and Bylaws or partnership or joint venture certificates and
agreements of each of the Celtrix Companies which have been delivered to Insmed
are complete and correct and in full force and effect on the date hereof, and no

nonassessable, are not subject to and have not been issued in violation of any
preemptive rights and have not been issued in violation of any federal or state
securities laws. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Celtrix's

for such securities and the expiration date thereof, and lists all contracts,
commitments, understandings, arrangements or restrictions by which any of the

shares of Celtrix Common Stock constitute the only class of equity securities of
Celtrix registered or required to be registered under the Exchange Act. All
outstanding shares of Celtrix Common Stock are duly included for trading on
Nasdaq SmallCap.
Section 5.3. Authority Relative to this Agreement; Recommendation. The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and of all of the other

majority of the outstanding shares of Celtrix Capital Stock at the Celtrix
Special Meeting). This Agreement and all of the other documents and instruments
required hereby have been or will be duly and validly executed and delivered by

any of the Celtrix Companies to any of their respective

(a) Celtrix has delivered to Insmed prior to the execution of this
Agreement copies of all pension, 401(k), retirement, profit-sharing, deferred
compensation, stock option, employee stock ownership, severance pay, vacation,
bonus or other incentive plan, any other employee program, arrangement or
agreement, whether arrived at through collective bargaining or otherwise, any
medical, vision, dental or other health plan, any life insurance plan, or any
other employee benefit plan or fringe benefit plan, including, without
limitation, any "employee benefit plan" as that term is defined in Section 3(3)
of ERISA, currently adopted, maintained by, sponsored in whole or in part by, or
contributed to by any of the Celtrix Companies or affiliates thereof for the
benefit of employees, former employees, retirees, dependents, spouses,
directors, independent contractors, or other beneficiaries and under which
employees, former employees, retirees, dependents, spouses, directors,
independent contractors or other beneficiaries are eligible to participate
(collectively, the "Celtrix Benefit Plans") and (i) any related trust agreement;
(ii) any amendments to such plans or trust; (iii) the most recent Form 5500 and
all schedules thereto; (iv) the most recent IRS determination letter; (iv) the
most recent summary plan descriptions; and (v) the most recent actuarial report
for any Celtrix Benefit Plan that is a defined benefit pension plan or funded
welfare benefit plan. Any of the Celtrix Benefit Plans which is an "employee
pension benefit plan," as that term is defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA, is
referred to herein as an "Celtrix ERISA Plan."
(b) Each Celtrix Benefit Plan has been administered in material
compliance with its terms and with the applicable provisions (including, without
limitation, any funding requirements or limitations) of ERISA, the Code and any
other applicable Laws. Each Celtrix Benefit Plan is enforceable in accordance
with its terms.
(c) No Celtrix ERISA Plan which is a defined benefit pension plan has
any "unfunded current liability," as that term is defined in Section
302(d)(8)(A) of ERISA, and the present fair market value of the assets of any
such plan exceeds the plan's "benefit liabilities," as that term is defined in
Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA, when determined under actuarial factors that would
apply if the plan terminated in accordance with all applicable legal
requirements.
(d) Each Celtrix ERISA Plan intended to be qualified under Section
401(a) of the Code ("Celtrix Qualified Plan") has either obtained a favorable
determination, notification, advisory and/or opinion letter, as applicable, as
to its qualified status from the IRS or still has a remaining period of time
under applicable Treasury Regulations or IRS pronouncements in which to apply
for such letter and to make any amendments necessary to obtain a favorable
determination. To the Knowledge of Celtrix, there are no facts or circumstances
that would be reasonably likely to jeopardize or adversely affect the
qualification under Code Section 401(a) of any Celtrix Qualified Plan or
otherwise have a material adverse effect on the qualified status of any Celtrix
Qualified Plan. Each Celtrix Qualified Plan incorporates or has been amended to
-27-
37
incorporate all provisions required to comply with the Tax Reform Act of 1986
and subsequent legislation to the extent such amendment or incorporation is
required as of the Closing Date.
(e) As of the Effective Time, full payment of all contributions will be
made or accrued with respect to each Celtrix Benefit Plan (including all
employer contributions and employee salary reduction contributions) that are
either required under the terms thereof or under ERISA or the Code. Neither
Celtrix nor any organization to which Celtrix is a successor or parent
corporation, within the meaning of Section 4069(b) of ERISA, has engaged in any
transaction, within the meaning of Section 4069 of ERISA. No Celtrix ERISA Plan
has incurred a "reportable event" as such term is defined in Section 4043 of
ERISA, other than a "reportable event" which was not required to be reported.
(f) Celtrix has filed all reports, returns and other documentation and
paid all premiums and taxes associated therewith that are required to have been
filed with respect to each Celtrix Benefit Plan with the IRS, the Department of
Labor, or any other governmental agency (federal, state or local) and such have
been filed on a timely basis. No lawsuits, complaints, investigations or
proceedings to or by any Person or governmental authority have been filed or, to
the Knowledge of Celtrix, are proposed or threatened, with respect to any
Celtrix Benefit Plan, except where such lawsuits, complaints, investigations or
proceedings would not have, alone or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse
Effect.
(g) Neither Celtrix nor any Celtrix ERISA Affiliate is or has ever been
a party to any "multiemployer plan" (as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA)
and neither Celtrix nor any Celtrix ERISA Affiliate has received a notice of, or
incurred, any withdrawal liability with respect to a "multiemployer plan" that
has not been satisfied.
(h) Celtrix has not incurred any material liability for "welfare
benefits" (as defined in Code Section 419) that was not fully reflected in the
Celtrix Form 10-K. Except as required under COBRA (or any similar provisions of
state law) or the terms of any Celtrix ERISA Plan, Celtrix is not obligated to
provide or to pay any benefits to former employees, or to their dependents or
beneficiaries, solely as a result of the consummation of the transactions
contemplated in this Agreement.
(i) Schedule 5.9(i) sets forth a true and complete list, as of December
31, 1999, of each person who holds any Celtrix Stock Options, together with the
number of shares of Celtrix Common Stock which are subject to such option, the
date of grant of such option, the extent to which such option is vested (or will
become vested as a result of the Merger), the option price of such option (to
the extent determined as of the date hereof), whether such option is a
nonqualified stock option or is intended to qualify as an incentive stock option
within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Code, and the expiration date of
such option. Schedule 5.9(i) of the Celtrix Disclosure Letter also sets forth
the total number of such incentive stock options and such nonqualified options
and any non-statutory options issued to consultants or others. Celtrix has
furnished Insmed with complete copies of the plans pursuant to which the Celtrix
Stock Options were issued. Other than the automatic vesting of Celtrix Stock
Options that may occur without any action on the part of Celtrix or its officers
or directors, Celtrix has not taken
-28-
38
any action that would result in any Celtrix Stock Options that are unvested
becoming vested in connection with or as a result of the execution and delivery
of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(j) Celtrix has made available to Insmed (i) a description of the terms
of employment and compensation arrangements of all officers and other employees
of Celtrix and a copy of each such agreement currently in effect; (ii) copies of
all agreements with consultants who are individuals obligating Celtrix to make
annual cash payments in an amount exceeding $25,000; (iii) copies (or
descriptions) of all severance agreements, programs and policies of Celtrix with
or relating to its employees, except programs and policies required to be
maintained by Law; and (iv) copies of all plans, programs, agreements and other
arrangements of Celtrix with or relating to its employees which contain change
in control provisions all of which are set forth on Schedule 5.9(j) of the
Celtrix Disclosure Letter.
Section 5.10. Tax Matters.
(a) Except as set forth on Schedule 5.10 of the Celtrix Disclosure
Letter:
(i) Celtrix and each of its Subsidiaries that is incorporated under

option, employee stock ownership, severance pay, vacation, bonus or other
incentive plan, any other employee program, arrangement or agreement, any
medical, vision, dental or other health plan, any life insurance plan, or any
other employee health plan or fringe benefit plan, including, without
limitation, any "employee benefit plan" as that term is defined in Section 3(3)
of ERISA, currently adopted, maintained by, sponsored in whole or in part by, or
contributed to by any of the Insmed Companies or affiliates thereof for the
benefit of employees, former employees, retirees, dependents, spouses,

ERISA Plan."
(b) Each Insmed Benefit Plan has been administered in material
compliance with its terms and with the applicable provisions (including, without
limitation, any funding requirements or limitations) of ERISA, the Code and any
other applicable Laws. Each Insmed Benefit Plan is enforceable in accordance
with its terms.
(c) No Insmed ERISA Plan which is a defined benefit pension plan has
any "unfunded current liability," as that term is defined in Section
302(d)(8)(A) of ERISA, and the present fair market value of the assets of any
such plan exceeds the plan's "benefit liabilities," as that term is defined in
Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA, when determined under actuarial factors that would
apply if the plan terminated in accordance with all applicable legal
requirements.
(d) Each Insmed ERISA Plan intended to be qualified under Section
401(a) of the Code ("Insmed Qualified Plan") has either obtained a favorable
determination notification, advisory and/or opinion letter, as applicable, as to
its qualified status from the IRS or still has a remaining period of time under
applicable Treasury Regulations or IRS pronouncements in which to apply for such
letter and to make any amendments necessary to obtain a favorable determination.
To the Knowledge of Insmed, there are no facts or circumstances that would be
reasonably likely to jeopardize or adversely affect the qualification under Code
Section 401(a) of any Insmed Qualified Plan or otherwise have a material adverse
effect on the qualified status of any Insmed Qualified Plan. Each Insmed
Qualified Plan incorporates or has been amended to incorporate all provisions
required to comply with the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and subsequent legislation to
the extent such Amendment or incorporation is required.

(e) As of the Effective Time, full payment of all contributions will be
made or accrued with respect to each Insmed Benefit Plan (including all employer
contributions and employee salary reduction contributions) that are either
required under the terms thereof or under ERISA or the Code. Neither Insmed nor
any organization to which Insmed is a successor or parent corporation, within
the meaning of Section 4069(b) of ERISA, has engaged in any transaction, within
the meaning of Section 4069 of ERISA. No Insmed ERISA Plan has incurred a
"reportable event" as such term is defined in Section 4043 of ERISA, other than
a "reportable event" which was not required to be reported.
(f) Insmed has filed all reports, returns and other documentation and
paid all premiums and taxes associated therewith that are required to have been
filed with respect to each Insmed Benefit Plan with the IRS, the Department of
Labor, or any other governmental agency (federal, state or local) and such have
been filed on a timely basis. No lawsuits, complaints, investigations or
proceedings to or by any Person or governmental authority have been filed or, to
the Knowledge of Insmed, are proposed or threatened, with respect to any Insmed
Benefit Plan, except where such lawsuits, complaints, investigations or
proceedings would not have, alone or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse
Effect.
(g) Neither Insmed nor any Insmed ERISA Affiliate is or has ever been a
party to any "multiemployer plan" (as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA)
and neither Insmed nor any Insmed ERISA Affiliate has received a notice of, or
incurred, any withdrawal liability with respect to a "multiemployer plan" that
has not been satisfied.
(h) Insmed has not incurred any material liability for "welfare
benefits" (as defined in Code Section 419) that was not fully reflected in the
Insmed Financial Statements. Except as required under COBRA (or any similar
provision of state law) or the terms of any Insmed ERISA Plan, Insmed is not
obligated to provide or to pay any benefits to former employees, or to their
dependents or beneficiaries, solely as a result of the consummation of the
transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

are subject to such option, the date of grant of such option, the extent to
which such option is vested (or will become vested as a result of the Merger),
the option price of such option (to the extent determined as of the date
hereof), whether such option is a nonqualified stock option or is intended to

Code, and the expiration date of such option. Schedule 6.9(i) of the Insmed
Disclosure Letter also sets forth the total number of such incentive stock
options and such nonqualified options and any non-statutory options issued to

plans pursuant to which the Insmed Stock Options were issued. Other than the
automatic vesting of Insmed Stock Options that may occur without any action on
the part of Insmed or its officers or directors, Insmed has not taken any action
that would result in any Insmed Stock Options that are unvested becoming vested
in connection with or as a result of the execution and delivery of this
Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

including, without limitation, to the extent any of the following are,
individually or in the aggregate, material to the business, properties or assets
of Insmed taken as a whole (for such purposes material shall mean an amount of
at least $25,000), all: (i) employment, product design or development, personal
services, consulting, non-competition, severance, golden parachute or
indemnification contracts (including, without limitation, any Contract to which
Insmed is a party involving employees of Insmed); (ii) licensing, publishing,
merchandising or distribution agreements; (iii) Contracts granting rights of
first refusal or first negotiation; (iv) partnership or joint venture

any person has agreed not to compete with Insmed; (ix) Contracts upon which any
substantial part of Insmed's business is dependent or which, if breached, could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Insmed; and (x) all
commitments and agreements to enter into any of the foregoing (collectively, the
"Insmed Contracts"). Insmed is not a party to or bound by any consulting,
severance, golden parachute, indemnification or other agreement with any
employee or consultant pursuant to which such person would be entitled to
receive any additional compensation or an accelerated payment of compensation as
a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and Insmed
is not obligated to make a payment to an individual that would be a "parachute
payment" to a "disqualified individual" (as those terms are defined in Section
280G of the Code, without regard to whether such payment is reasonable
compensation for personal services performed or to be performed in the future).

(b) Each of the Insmed Contracts is valid, binding, in full force and
effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms, and true and correct copies
thereof have been delivered to Celtrix, and there is no default under any Insmed
Contract so listed either by Insmed or, to the Knowledge of Insmed, by any other
party thereto, and no event has occurred that with the lapse of time or the
giving of notice or both would constitute a default thereunder by Insmed or, to
the Knowledge of Insmed, any other party, in any such case in which such default
or event could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on
Insmed.
(c) No party to any such Insmed Contract has given notice to Insmed of
or made a claim against Insmed with respect to any breach or default thereunder,
in any such case in which such breach or default could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect on Insmed.
(d) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Insmed does not,
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will
not, result in any violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without notice
or lapse of time, or both) a default (or give rise to a right of termination,
cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or loss of any material benefit)
under, or require the consent or waiver under, any of the material terms,
conditions or provisions of the Insmed Contracts identified on Schedule 6.26 of
the Insmed Disclosure Letter.
Section 6.27. Properties. Neither Insmed nor any of its Subsidiaries is
in default under any leases for real property leased by Insmed or any of its
Subsidiaries, except where the existence of such defaults, individually or in
the aggregate, is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on
Insmed. None of the Insmed Companies owns any real property.
Section 6.28. Year 2000 Compliance.
(a) Insmed has reviewed the areas within its business and operations
which could be adversely affected by the Year 2000 Problem and has initiated a
program to achieve Year 2000 Compliance by December 31, 1999. As of November 30,
1999, except as is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on
Insmed: (i) Insmed has implemented such Year 2000 Compliance program in
accordance with the timetable set forth therein; (ii) Insmed has made
appropriate inquiries as to the Year 2000 Compliance of their material
suppliers, service providers, franchisers and vendors, and Insmed has not
received notice of any inability on the part of such entities to achieve Year
2000 Compliance in a timely manner; and (iii) based on such review and program,
Insmed believes that the Year 2000 Problem, including costs of remediation, will
not have a Material Adverse Effect on Insmed.

director, officer or employee of such party or a subsidiary of such party or
(ii) based on, arising out of or pertaining to the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement. In the event of any such loss, expense, claim, damage or
liability (whether or not arising before the Effective Time), (i) Parent shall
pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel selected by the Indemnified
Parties, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to Parent, promptly
after statements therefor are received and otherwise advance to such Indemnified
Party upon request reimbursement of documented expenses reasonably incurred, in
either case to the extent not prohibited by the VSCA or Parent's articles of
incorporation or bylaws, (ii) Parent will cooperate in the defense of any such
matter and (iii) any determination required to be made with respect to whether
an Indemnified Party's conduct complies with the standards set forth under the
VSCA and Parent's articles of incorporation or bylaws shall be
-59-
69
made by independent counsel mutually acceptable to Parent and the Indemnified
Party; provided, however, that Parent shall not be liable for any settlement
effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld). The Indemnified Parties as a group may retain only one law firm with
respect to each related matter except to the extent there is, in the opinion of
counsel to an Indemnified Party, under applicable standards of professional
conduct, a conflict on any significant issue between positions of any two or
more Indemnified Parties.
(b) For a period of five years after the Effective Time, Parent shall
cause to be maintained in effect the policies of directors' and officers'
liability insurance maintained by Celtrix and Insmed for the benefit of those
persons who are covered by such policies at the Effective Time (or Parent may
substitute therefor policies of substantially equivalent coverage with respect
to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time).
(c) In the event Parent or any of its successors or assigns (i)
consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the
continuing or surviving corporation or entity or such consolidation or merger or
(ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any
person, then and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the
successors and assigns of Parent shall assume the obligations set forth in this
Section 7.16.
(d) To the fullest extent permitted by Law, from and after the
Effective Time, all rights to indemnification now existing in favor of the
employees, agents, directors or officers of Celtrix and Insmed and their
subsidiaries with respect to their activities as such prior to the Effective
Time, as provided in Celtrix's and Insmed's respective charters or bylaws, in
effect on the date thereof or otherwise in effect on the date hereof, shall
survive the Merger and Exchange and shall continue in full force and effect for
a period of not less than three years from the Effective Time.
(e) The provisions of this Section 7.16 are intended to be for the
benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party, his or her
heirs and his or her representatives.

to the best of Celtrix's Knowledge, may be deemed to be "affiliates" of Celtrix
for purposes of Rule 145(c) under the Securities Act. Celtrix shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such Person who is so identified
to deliver to Parent on or prior to the Effective Time a letter agreement to the
effect that such person will not offer to sell, sell or otherwise dispose of any
shares of Parent Common Stock issued in the Merger or the Exchange, except, in
each case, pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with
Rule 145, as amended from time to time, or in a transaction which, in the
opinion of legal counsel satisfactory to Parent, is exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act and, in any case, not until after the results
covering 30 days of post-Merger and Exchange combined operations of Celtrix and
Insmed have been filed with the SEC, sent to shareholders of Parent or otherwise
publicly issued, substantially in the form of Exhibit 7.17(a)(ii) to this
Agreement.
-60-
70
(b) Attached hereto as Exhibit 7.17(b)(i) is a list of all Persons who,
to the best of Insmed's Knowledge, may be deemed to be "affiliates" of Insmed
for purposes of Rule 145(c) under the Securities Act. Insmed shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such Person who is so identified
to deliver to Parent on or prior to the Effective Time to the effect that such
person will not offer to sell, sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of Parent
Common Stock issued in the Merger or the Exchange, except, in each case,
pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 145,
as amended from time to time, or in a transaction which, in the opinion of legal
counsel satisfactory to Parent, is exempt from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act and, in any case, not until after the results covering 30
days of post-Merger and Exchange combined operations of Celtrix and Insmed have
been filed with the SEC, sent to shareholders of Parent or otherwise publicly
issued, substantially in the form of Exhibit 7.17(b)(ii) to this Agreement.
Section 7.18. Confidentiality.
(a) Prior to the Effective Time and after any termination of this
Agreement each party hereto will hold, and will use its best efforts to cause
its officers, directors, employees, accountants, counsel, consultants, advisors,
affiliates (as such term is used in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and
representatives (collectively, the "Representatives"), to hold, in confidence
all confidential documents and information concerning the other parties hereto
and the Subsidiaries furnished to such party in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, all analyses,
compilations, studies or records prepared by the party receiving the information
or by such party's Representatives, that contain or otherwise reflect or are
generated from such information (collectively, the "Confidential Material"). The
party furnishing any Confidential Material is herein referred to as the
"Delivering Company" and the party receiving any Confidential Material is herein
referred to as the "Receiving Company."
(b) The Receiving Company agrees that the Confidential Material will
not be used other than for the purpose of the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement, and that such information will be kept confidential by the Receiving
Company and its Representatives; provided, however, that (i) any of such
information may be disclosed to the Representatives who need to know such
information for the purpose described above (it being understood that (a) each
such Representative shall be informed by the Receiving Company of the
confidential nature of such information, shall be directed by the Receiving
Company to treat such information confidentially and not to use it other than
for the purpose described above and shall agree to be bound by the terms of this
Section 7.18 and (b) in any event, the Receiving Company shall be responsible
for any breach of this Agreement by any of its Representatives), and (ii) any
other disclosure of such information may be made if the Delivering Company has,
in advance, consented to such disclosure in writing. The Receiving Company will
make all reasonable, necessary and appropriate efforts to safeguard the
Confidential Material from disclosure to anyone other than as permitted hereby.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Receiving Company or any of
its Representatives is requested or required (by oral question or request for
information or
-61-
71
documents in legal proceedings, interrogatories, subpoena, civil investigative
demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Material, the Receiving
Company will promptly notify the Delivering Company of such request or
requirement so that the Delivering Company may seek an appropriate protective
order and/or waive the Receiving Company's compliance with the provisions of
this Agreement. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a
waiver hereunder, the Receiving Company or any of its Representatives is
nonetheless, in the reasonable written opinion of the Receiving Company's
counsel, compelled to disclose Confidential Material to any tribunal, the
Receiving Company or such Representative, after notice to the Delivering
Company, may disclose such information to such tribunal. The Receiving Party
shall exercise reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential
treatment will be accorded the Confidential Material so disclosed. The Receiving
Company or such Representative shall not be liable for the disclosure of
Confidential Material hereunder to a tribunal compelling such disclosure unless
such disclosure to such tribunal was caused by or resulted from a previous
disclosure by the Receiving Company or any of its Representatives not permitted
by this Agreement.
(d) This Section 7.18 shall be inoperative as to particular portions of
the Confidential Material if such information (i) is or becomes generally
available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving
Company or its Representatives, (ii) was available to the Receiving Company on a
non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to the Receiving Company by the
Delivering Company or the Delivering Company's Representatives as demonstrated
by documents of the Receiving Company, or (iii) becomes available to the
Receiving Company on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the
Delivering Company or the Delivering Company's Representatives, provided that
such source is not known by the Receiving Company, after reasonable inquiry, to
be bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Delivering Company or the
Delivering Company's Representatives and is not otherwise prohibited from
transmitting the information to the Receiving Company by a contractual, legal or
fiduciary obligation. The fact that information included in the Confidential
Material is or becomes otherwise available to the Receiving Company or its
Representatives under clauses (i) through (iii) above shall not relieve the
Receiving Company or its Representatives of the prohibitions of the
confidentiality provisions of this Section 7.18 with respect to the balance of
the Confidential Material.
(e) If this Agreement is terminated, each party hereto will, and will
use its best efforts to cause its officers, directors, employees, accountants,
counsel, consultants, advisors and agents to destroy or deliver to the party
from whom such Confidential Material was obtained, upon request, all documents
and other materials, and all copies thereof, obtained by such party or on its
behalf from any such other parties in connection with this Agreement that are
subject to such confidence.
Section 7.19. Antitrust Matters.
(a) To the extent required by the HSR Act, the parties hereto promptly
will complete all documents required to be filed with the Federal Trade
Commission and the Department of Justice in order to comply with the HSR Act
and, together with the Persons who are required to
-62-
72
join in such filings, will file the same with the appropriate Governmental
Authorities. The parties hereto promptly will furnish all materials thereafter
required by any of the Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over such
filings and will take all reasonable actions and file and use all reasonable
efforts to have declared effective or approved all documents and notifications
with any such Governmental Authorities, as may be required under the HSR Act for
the consummation of the Merger and Exchange.
(b) The parties hereto will use their best efforts to resolve such
objections, if any, as may be asserted with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement under any antitrust, competition or trade
regulatory laws, rules or regulations of any domestic or foreign Governmental
Entity ("Antitrust Laws"). If any suit is threatened or instituted challenging
the Merger and Exchange as violating any Antitrust Law, the parties hereto will
take such action as may be required (i) by the applicable Governmental Entity in
order to resolve such objections as such Governmental Entity may have to such
transactions under such Antitrust Law or (ii) by any domestic or foreign court
or similar tribunal, in any suit brought by a private party or governmental
authority challenging the Merger and Exchange as violating any Antitrust Law, in
order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction,
temporary restraining order or other order that has the effect of preventing the
consummation of the Merger and Exchange. The entry by a court, in any suit
brought by a private party or Governmental Entity challenging the Merger and
Exchange as violating any Antitrust Law, of an order or decree permitting the
Merger and Exchange but requiring that any of the businesses or assets of any
party hereto be divested or held separate by Parent, or that would otherwise
limit Parent's freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, both
Insmed and Celtrix or any portion thereof, will not be deemed a failure to
satisfy the conditions specified in Section 8.1(d) herein below.
(c) Each party promptly will inform the others of any material
communication from the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice, the
FCC or any other domestic or foreign Governmental Entity regarding any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If any party or any Affiliate
thereof receives a request for additional information or documentary material
from any such government or authority with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, such party will endeavor in good faith to make,
as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other parties,
an appropriate response to such request. Each party hereto promptly will advise
the other parties hereto in respect of any understandings, undertakings or
agreements which the advising party proposes to make or enter into with the
Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice or any other domestic or
foreign Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement.

shareholders of Celtrix shall have executed and delivered to Insmed a voting
agreement in the form of Exhibit 7.20A hereto with respect to, among other
things, such shareholder's agreement to vote all shares of Celtrix Capital Stock
over which such shareholder exercises voting control for approval of the
transactions contemplated in this Agreement at the Celtrix Special Meeting.

73
(b) On or before the filing of the Registration Statement, certain
shareholders of Insmed shall have executed and delivered to Celtrix a voting
agreement in the form of Exhibit 7.20B hereto with respect to, among other
things, such shareholder's agreement to vote all shares of Insmed Capital Stock
over which such shareholder exercises voting control for approval of the Plan of
Exchange at the Insmed Special Meeting.

ARTICLE IV
MANNER AND BASIS OF CONVERTING SHARES OF INSMED; EXCHANGE PROCEDURES
Section 4.1. The Exchange.
(a) Each share of Insmed Common Stock, Insmed Series A Preferred
Stock and Insmed Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares) shall be exchanged
for 3.5 shares of Parent Common Stock (the "Exchange") (the shares of Parent
Common Stock received pursuant to the Exchange, the "Exchange Consideration").
Parent shall acquire and become the owner and holder of each issued and
outstanding share of Insmed Capital Stock so exchanged. The former holders of
shares of Insmed Capital Stock so exchanged shall cease to have any ownership or
other rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the shares of
Parent Common Stock upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with
Section 4.2 hereof and without any interest
3
87
thereon. Each share of Parent Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and shall thereupon constitute an
authorized and unissued share of Parent Common Stock. The Exchange is intended
to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code or a tax-free
exchange under Section 351 of the Code.
(b) No fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock shall be issued
in connection with the exchange of Insmed Common Stock or Insmed Preferred Stock
in the Exchange and the distribution of Parent Common Stock in respect thereof,
but in lieu of such fraction, the Exchange Agent shall make a cash payment
(without interest and subject to the payment of any applicable withholding
Taxes) equal to the same fraction of the market value of a full share of Parent
Common Stock, computed on the basis of the mean of the high and low sales prices
of Parent Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq National or Nasdaq SmallCap, as the
case may be, on the first full day on which the Parent Common Stock is traded on
Nasdaq National or Nasdaq SmallCap, as the case may be, after the Effective
Time. Parent and Insmed agree to use their best efforts to cause the Exchange to
be consummated in accordance with the terms of this Plan of Exchange.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Plan of Exchange to the
contrary, shares of Insmed Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Exchange
or consented thereto in writing and who has demanded appraisal for such shares
of Insmed Capital Stock in accordance with the VSCA (an "Insmed Dissenting
Holder") shall not be exchanged into the Exchange Consideration, but shall, from
and after the Effective Time, have only such rights as are afforded to the
holders thereof by the provisions of Section 13.1-730 of the VSCA, unless such
Insmed Dissenting Holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his
right to appraisal. If, after the Effective Time, such Insmed Dissenting Holder
fails to perfect or withdraws or loses his right to appraisal, such shares of
Insmed Capital Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the
Effective Time into a right to receive the Exchange Consideration payable in
respect of such shares of Insmed Capital Stock pursuant to this Section 4.1.
Section 4.2. Exchange of Certificates.
(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent, Celtrix and Insmed shall
appoint the Exchange Agent to act as the exchange agent in connection with the
Exchange. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1 hereof, from and after the
Effective Time, each holder of a certificate which immediately prior to the
Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Insmed Capital Stock (the
"Certificates") shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, upon
surrender thereof to the Exchange Agent, a certificate or certificates
representing the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock into which such
holder's shares were converted in the Exchange, plus cash payable in lieu of a
fractional share. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent will deliver
to the Exchange Agent, in trust for the benefit of the holders of Insmed Capital
Stock, shares of Parent Common Stock (together with sufficient cash in
immediately available funds in lieu of fractional shares, as provided in Section
4.1 hereof) necessary to make the exchange contemplated by Section 4.1 hereof on
a timely basis.
4
88
(b) Promptly after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall
mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately
prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Insmed Capital
Stock whose shares were exchanged into the right to receive shares of Parent
Common Stock pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof, a letter of transmittal (which
shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to
Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the
Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of
Certificates in exchange for certificates representing shares of Parent Common
Stock. Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with such
letter of transmittal duly executed, and any other required documents, the
holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a
certificate representing that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock and,
if applicable, a check representing the cash consideration to which such holder
has the right to receive for a fractional share, as set forth herein, and such
Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No holder of a
Certificate or Certificates shall be entitled to receive any dividend or other
distribution from Parent until the surrender of such holder's Certificate for a
certificate or certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock. Upon
such surrender, there shall be paid to the holder the amount of any dividends or
other distributions (without interest and subject to any applicable withholding
Tax) which theretofore became payable, but which were not paid by reason of the
foregoing, with respect to the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock
represented by the certificates issued upon surrender, which amount shall be
delivered to the Exchange Agent by Parent from time to time as such dividends or
other distributions are declared. If delivery of certificates representing
shares of Parent Common Stock is to be made to a person other than the person in
whose name the Certificate surrendered is registered or if any certificate for
shares of Parent Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which
the Certificate surrendered therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of
such delivery or issuance that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly
endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting
such delivery or issuance shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by
reason of such delivery or issuance to a person other than the registered holder
of the Certificate surrendered or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that
such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 4.2, each Certificate shall represent for
all purposes only the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock (and cash
in lieu of a fractional share), as provided in Section 4.1 hereof, without any
interest thereon.
(c) After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the
stock transfer books of Parent, as the surviving corporation in the Exchange, of
the shares of Insmed Capital Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to
the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to
Parent for transfer, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for shares of Parent
Common Stock as provided in Section 4.1 hereof, in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this Section 4.2.
(d) Any shares of Parent Common Stock (and any accrued dividends
and distributions thereon), and any cash held by the Exchange Agent for payment
in lieu of fractional shares, that remain unclaimed by the former shareholders
of
5
89
Insmed six months after the Effective Time shall be delivered by the Exchange
Agent to Parent. Any former shareholders of Insmed who have not theretofore
complied with this Section 4.2 shall thereafter look only to Parent for
satisfaction of their claim for the consideration set forth in the Plan of
Exchange, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither
Parent nor Insmed shall be liable to any holder of shares of Insmed Capital
Stock for any shares of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with
respect thereto) delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable
abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
Section 4.3. Stock Options and Warrants.
(a) At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase
shares of Insmed Common Stock (an "Insmed Stock Option" or collectively, "Insmed
Stock Options") whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed by Parent (all of
such plans or agreements pursuant to which any Insmed Stock Option has been
issued or may be issued are referred to collectively as the "Insmed Plans"). To
effect that assumption, each Insmed Stock Option shall be replaced with an
option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under
such Insmed Stock Option, the same number of shares of Parent Common Stock as
the holder of such Insmed Stock Option would have been entitled to receive
pursuant to the Exchange had such holder exercised such option in full
immediately prior to the Effective Time, at a price per share equal to (y) the
aggregate exercise price for the shares of Insmed Common Stock otherwise
purchasable pursuant to such Insmed Stock Option divided by (z) the number of
shares of Parent Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such replacement option
pursuant to this Section 4.3 rounded up to the nearest one tenth of a cent;
provided, however, that in the case of any ISOs, the option price, the number of
shares purchasable pursuant to such option and the terms and conditions of
exercise of such option shall be determined in order to comply with section
424(a) of the Code rounded up to the nearest one tenth of a cent. Parent shall
make such assumption in such manner that (i) Parent is a corporation "assuming a
stock option in a transaction to which Section 424(a) applies" within the
meaning of Section 424 of the Code or (ii) to the extent that Section 424 of the
Code does not apply to such Insmed Stock Option, Parent would be such a
corporation were Section 424 of the Code applicable to such Insmed Stock Option.
(b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall
deliver to the holders of Insmed Stock Options appropriate notices setting forth
such holders' rights pursuant to the respective Insmed Plans and this Section
4.3, and shall amend or replace the agreements evidencing the grants of such
Insmed Options as required by Section 4.3(a) after giving effect to the
Exchange. Parent shall comply with the terms of the Insmed Plans as in effect
prior to the Effective Time and ensure, to the extent required by, and subject
to the provisions of, such Plans, that Insmed Stock Options which qualified as
incentive stock options immediately prior to the Effective Time continue to
qualify as incentive stock options of Parent after the Effective Time.
(c) Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve
for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery
upon exercise of Insmed Stock Options assumed in accordance with this Section
4.3. Such action shall include, without limitation (i) adoption of the Insmed,
Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the "New Stock Plan") on or before the Effective
Time; and (ii) registration of shares of Parent Common Stock that will be
issuable under the New Stock Plan (including those that will be delivered on
exercise of Insmed
6
90
Stock Options assumed in accordance with this Section 4.3) pursuant to a
registration statement on Form S-8 filed within 10 business days of the
Effective Time. In addition, prior to the Effective Time, the sole shareholder
of the Parent shall approve the New Stock Plan. Following the Effective Time,
Parent shall use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such
registration statement or registration statements for so long as options or
other awards granted thereunder remain outstanding. With respect to those
individuals who, subsequent to the Exchange, will be subject to the reporting
requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, where applicable, Parent
shall administer the New Stock Plan in a manner that complies with Rule 16b-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act, as it may be amended from time to time.
(d) At the Effective Time, each of the warrants to purchase shares
of Insmed Common Stock (each an "Insmed Warrant") which then remains outstanding
shall be replaced with a warrant to purchase, on the same terms and conditions
as were applicable under such Insmed Warrant, the same number of shares of
Parent Common Stock as the holder of such Insmed Warrant would have been
entitled to receive pursuant to the Exchange had such holder exercised such
warrant in full immediately prior to the Effective Time, at a price per share
equal to (y) the aggregate exercise price for the shares of Insmed Common Stock
otherwise purchasable pursuant to such Insmed Warrant, divided by (z) the number
of full shares of Parent Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such replacement
warrant rounded up to the nearest whole cent.
As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall
deliver to each holder of an Insmed Warrant appropriate notices setting forth
such holder's rights pursuant to the warrants to purchase shares of Parent
Common Stock, and shall amend or replace the agreements evidencing such Insmed
Warrants as required by this Section 4.3(d) after giving effect to the Exchange.
Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for
issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon
exercise of Insmed Warrants replaced with warrants to purchase Parent Common
Stock in accordance with this Section 4.3(d).
(e) In lieu of issuing any options or warrants to purchase a
fractional share of Parent Common Stock, Parent will deliver to holders of
Insmed Stock Options or Insmed Warrants cash, within 30 days of Closing, payable
by check, equal to the difference between (i) the fractional share multiplied by
the mean of the high and low sales price of Parent Common Stock on the first
full day of trading on Nasdaq National or Nasdaq SmallCap, as the case may be,
after the Closing, and (ii) the exercise price per fractional share of each
Insmed Stock Option or Insmed Warrant divided by 3.5.
(f) Each warrant or option to purchase shares of Parent Common
Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time shall continue to be
issued and outstanding after the Effective Time and shall continue to have such
rights and preferences as existed prior to the Effective Time. All shares of
Parent Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of such warrants and
options shall continue to be reserved for issuance after the Effective Time.

Directors with respect to any series at the time of the creation thereof.

Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not declare and pay or
set apart for payment any dividends (other than dividends payable in Common

with respect to any dividend payable on, or any obligation to redeem, any shares
of Preferred Stock.
4. Redeemed or Reacquired Shares. Shares of any series of Preferred
Stock that have been redeemed or otherwise reacquired by the Corporation
(whether through the operation of a sinking fund, upon conversion or otherwise)
shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock and
may be redesignated and reissued as a part of such series (unless prohibited by
the articles of amendment creating such series) or of any other series of
Preferred Stock. Shares of Common Stock that have been reacquired by the
Corporation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of Common
Stock and may be reissued.
5. Voting Rights. Subject to the provisions of the VSCA or of the
Bylaws of the Corporation as from time to time in effect with respect to the
closing of the transfer books or the fixing of a record date for the
determination of shareholders entitled to vote, and except as otherwise provided
by the VSCA or in resolutions of the Board of Directors establishing any series
of Preferred Stock pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 1 of this Article
III, the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation shall
exclusively possess voting power for the election of directors and for all other
purposes, with each holder of record of shares of Common Stock of the
Corporation being entitled to one vote for each share of such stock standing in
his name on the books of the Corporation.
6. No Preemptive Rights. No holder of shares of stock of any class of
the Corporation shall, as such holder, have any right to subscribe for or
purchase (a) any shares of stock of any class of the Corporation, or any
warrants, options or other instruments that shall confer upon the holder thereof
the right to subscribe for or purchase or receive from the Corporation any
shares of stock of any class, whether or not such shares of stock, warrants,
options or other instruments are issued for cash or services or property or by
way of dividend or otherwise, or (b) any other security of the Corporation that
shall be convertible into, or exchangeable for, any shares of stock of the
Corporation of any class or classes, or to which shall be attached or
appurtenant any warrant, option or other instrument that shall confer upon the
holder of such security the right to subscribe for or purchase or receive from
the Corporation any shares of its stock of any class or classes, whether or not
such securities are issued for cash or services or property or by way of
dividend or otherwise, other than such right, if any, as the Board of Directors,
in its sole discretion, may from time to time determine. If the Board of
Directors shall offer to the holders of shares of stock of any class of the
Corporation, or any of them, any such shares of stock, options, warrants,
instruments or other securities of the Corporation, such offer shall not, in any
way, constitute a waiver or release of the right of the Board of Directors
subsequently to dispose of other securities of the Corporation without offering
the same to said holders.
7. Control Share Acquisition Statute. The provisions of Article 14.1 of
the VSCA shall not apply to acquisitions of shares of any class of capital stock

ARTICLE IV
1. The number of directors shall be as specified in the By-laws of the
Corporation but such number may be increased or decreased from time to time in
such manner as may be prescribed in the By-laws, provided that in no event shall
the number of directors exceed twelve. In the absence of a By-law specifying the
number of directors, the number shall be seven. Commencing with the 2000 annual
meeting of shareholders (or by unanimous written consent in lieu thereof), the
Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes, Class I, Class II, and
Class III, as nearly equal in number as possible. The initial term of each class
of directors shall expire at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in
the following years: Class I - 2001; Class II - 2002; and Class III - 2003. At
each annual meeting of shareholders after the 2000 annual meeting of
shareholders, the successors to the class of directors whose term shall then
expire shall be identified as being of the same class of directors they succeed
and shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the third succeeding
annual meeting of shareholders. When the number of directors is changed, any
newly-created directorships or any decrease in directorships shall be so
apportioned among the classes by the Board of Directors as to make all classes
as nearly equal in number as possible; provided, however, that no decrease in
the number of directors shall shorten or terminate the term of any incumbent
director.
2. Subject to the rights of the holders of any Preferred Stock then
outstanding, directors may be removed only with cause and only by the
affirmative vote of at least 75 percent of the voting power of the then
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors ("Voting Stock"), voting together as a
single voting group.
3. Subject to the rights of the holders of any Preferred Stock then
outstanding and to any limitations set forth in the VSCA, newly-created
directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors and any
vacancies in the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation,
disqualification, removal or other cause shall be filled solely (i) by the Board
of Directors or (ii) at an annual meeting of shareholders by the shareholders
entitled to vote on the election of directors. If the directors remaining in
office constitute fewer than a quorum of the Board, they may fill the vacancy by
the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors remaining in office.
4. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Articles of Incorporation
or any provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser vote, but in
addition to any affirmative vote of the holders of any particular voting group
required by the VSCA, the Articles of Incorporation or the terms of any
Preferred Stock outstanding, the affirmative vote of at least 75 percent of the
voting power of the then outstanding Voting Stock, voting together as a single
voting group shall be required to alter, amend, repeal or adopt any provision
inconsistent with any provision of this Article IV.
4
96
ARTICLE V
Except as expressly otherwise required in the Articles of
Incorporation, an amendment or restatement of the Articles of Incorporation
requiring shareholder approval shall be approved by a majority of the votes
entitled to be cast by each voting group that is entitled to vote on the matter,
unless in submitting any such amendment or restatement to the shareholders the
Board of Directors shall require a greater vote.
ARTICLE VI
1. Every person who is or was a director, officer or employee of the
Corporation, or who, at the request of the Corporation, serves or has served in
any such capacity with another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan, or other enterprise shall be indemnified by the
Corporation against any and all liability and reasonable expense that may be
incurred by him in connection with or resulting from any claim, action or
proceeding (whether brought in the right of the Corporation or any such other
corporation, entity, plan or otherwise), in which he may become involved, as a
party or otherwise, by reason of his being or having been a director, officer or
employee of the Corporation, or such other corporation, entity or plan while
serving at the request of the Corporation, whether or not he continues to be
such at the time such liability or expense is incurred, unless such person
engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law.
As used in this Article VI: (a) the terms "liability" and "expense"
shall include, but shall not be limited to, counsel fees and disbursements and
amounts of judgments, fines or penalties against, and amounts paid in settlement
by, a director, officer or employee; (b) the terms "director," "officer" and
employee," unless the context otherwise requires, include the estate or personal
representative of any such person; (c) a person is considered to be serving an
employee benefit plan as a director, officer or employee of the plan at the
Corporation's request if his duties to the Corporation also impose duties on, or
otherwise involve services by, him to the plan or, in connection with the plan,
to participants in or beneficiaries of the plan; (d) the term "occurrence" means
any act or failure to act, actual or alleged, giving rise to a claim, action or
proceeding; and (e) service as a trustee or as a member of a management or
similar committee of a partnership, joint venture or limited liability company
shall be considered service as a director, officer or employee of the trust,
partnership, joint venture or limited liability company.
The termination of any claim, action or proceeding, civil or criminal,
by judgment, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its
equivalent, shall not create a presumption that a director, officer or employee
did not meet the standards of conduct set forth in this paragraph 1. The burden
of proof shall be on the Corporation to establish, by a preponderance of the
evidence, that the relevant standards of conduct set forth in this paragraph 1
have not been met.
5
97
2. Any indemnification under paragraph 1 of this Article VI shall be
made unless (a) the Board, acting by a majority vote of those directors who were
directors at the time of the occurrence giving rise to the claim, action or
proceeding involved and who are not at the time parties to such claim, action or
proceeding (provided there are at least five such directors), finds that the
director, officer or employee has not met the relevant standards of conduct set
forth in such paragraph 1, or (b) if there are not at least five such directors,
the Corporation's principal Virginia legal counsel, as last designated by the
Board as such prior to the time of the occurrence giving rise to the claim,
action or proceeding involved, or in the event for any reason such Virginia
counsel is unwilling to so serve, then Virginia legal counsel mutually
acceptable to the Corporation and the person seeking indemnification, deliver to
the Corporation their written advice that, in their opinion, such standards have
not been met.
3. Expenses incurred with respect to any claim, action or proceeding of
the character described in paragraph 1 shall, except as otherwise set forth in
this paragraph 3, be advanced by the Corporation prior to the final disposition
thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the recipient to repay
such amount if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to
indemnification under this Article VI. No security shall be required for such
undertaking and such undertaking shall be accepted without reference to the
recipient's final ability to make repayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Corporation may refrain from, or suspend, payment of expenses in advance if at
any time before delivery of the final finding described in paragraph 2, the
Board or Virginia legal counsel, as the case may be, acting in accordance with
the procedures set forth in paragraph 2, find by a preponderance of the evidence
then available that the officer, director or employee has not met the relevant
standards of conduct set forth in paragraph 1.
4. No amendment or repeal of this Article VI shall adversely affect or
deny to any director, officer or employee the rights of indemnification provided
in this Article VI with respect to any liability or expense arising out of a
claim, action or proceeding based in whole or substantial part on an occurrence
the inception of which takes place before or while this Article VI, as set forth
in these Articles of Incorporation, is in effect. The provisions of this
paragraph 4 shall apply to any such claim, action or proceeding whenever
commenced, including any such claim, action or proceeding commenced after any
amendment or repeal to this Article VI.
5. The rights of indemnification provided in this Article VI shall be
in addition to any rights to which any such director, officer or employee may
otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law.
6. In any proceeding brought by or in the right of the Corporation or
brought by or on behalf of shareholders of the Corporation, no director or
officer of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its
shareholders for monetary damages with respect to any transaction, occurrence or
course of conduct, whether prior or subsequent to the effective date of this
6
98
Article VI, except for liability resulting from such person's having engaged in
willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or any federal or
state securities law.
ARTICLE VII
In furtherance of, and not in limitation of, the powers conferred by
the VSCA, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized and empowered to adopt,
amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation; provided, however, that the
Bylaws adopted by the Board of Directors under the powers hereby conferred may
be altered, amended or repealed by the Board of Directors or by the shareholders
having voting power with respect thereto, provided further that, in the case of
any such action by shareholders, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
75 percent of the voting power of the then outstanding Voting Stock, voting
together as a single voting group, shall be required in order for the
shareholders to alter, amend or repeal any provision of the Bylaws or to adopt
any additional Bylaw. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Articles of
Incorporation or any provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser vote,
but in addition to any affirmative vote of the holders of any particular voting
group required by the VSCA, the Articles of Incorporation or the terms of any
Preferred Stock outstanding, the affirmative vote of at least 75 percent of the
voting power of the then outstanding Voting Stock, voting together as a single
voting group, shall be required to alter, amend, repeal or adopt any provision
inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Article VII.

adjourned by a majority vote of the directors present at such meeting. Notice of
any adjourned meeting need not be given.
SECTION 8. WAIVERS OF NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Notwithstanding anything in
these Bylaws or in any resolution adopted by the Board to the contrary, notice
of any meeting of the Board need not be given to any director if such notice

meeting, or if such director shall be present at the meeting. Any meeting of the
Board shall be a legal meeting without any notice having been given or
regardless of the giving of any notice or the adoption of any resolution in
reference thereto, if every member of the Board shall be present thereat. Except

shareholder. Each certificate shall be signed by, or shall bear the facsimile

The name and address of the person to whom shares (whether or not

issue, shall be entered on the share transfer books of the Corporation. Such

written statement of the information required by the VSCA to be included on
certificates.

or set of books to be known as the
-12-

stock transfer books of the Corporation, containing the name of each shareholder
of record, together with such shareholder's address and the number and class or
series of shares held by such shareholder. Shares of stock of the Corporation
shall be transferable on the stock books of the Corporation by the holder in
person or by his attorney thereunto authorized by power of attorney duly
executed and filed with the Secretary or the transfer agent, but, except as
hereinafter provided in the case of loss, destruction or mutilation of

certificate, if any, given for the same shall have been surrendered and
canceled. Transfer of shares of the Corporation represented by certificates
shall be made on the stock transfer books of the Corporation only upon surrender
of the certificates for the shares sought to be transferred by the holder of
record thereof or by such holder's duly authorized agent, transferee or legal
representative, who shall furnish proper evidence of authority to transfer with
the Secretary of the Corporation or its designated transfer agent or other
agent. All certificates surrendered for transfer shall be canceled before new
certificates for the transferred shares shall be issued. Except as otherwise
provided by law, no transfer of shares shall be valid as against the
Corporation, its shareholders or creditors, for any purpose, until it shall have
been entered in the stock records of the Corporation by an entry showing from
and to whom transferred.

of Directors as the absolute owner of the shares and the person exclusively
entitled to receive notification and distributions, to vote, and to otherwise
exercise the rights, powers and privileges of ownership of such shares.
SECTION 4. RECORD DATE. For the purpose of determining shareholders
entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any

to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the Board
may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of
shareholders, such date in any case to be not more than seventy days prior to
the date on which the particular action, requiring such determination of
shareholders, is to be taken. When a determination of shareholders entitled to
vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this section,
such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof unless the Board fixes
a new record date, which it shall do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more
than 120 days after the date fixed for the original meeting.
SECTION 5. LOST, DESTROYED OR MUTILATED CERTIFICATES. In case of loss,
destruction or mutilation of any certificate of stock, another may be issued in
its place upon proof of such loss, destruction or mutilation and upon the giving
of a bond of indemnity to the Corporation in such form and in such sum as the
Board may direct; provided that a new certificate may be issued without
requiring any bond when, in the judgment of the Board, it is proper so to do.

may, if and whenever the Board of Directors so determines, maintain in the

more registry offices which offices and agencies may establish rules and
regulations for the issue, transfer and registration of certificates. No
certificates for shares of stock of the Corporation in respect of which a
transfer agent and registrar shall have been designated shall be valid unless

of Directors may also make such additional rules and regulations as it may deem
expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration of shares represented
by certificates and shares without certificates.
ARTICLE VIII.

accordingly agreed that Parent and Merger Subsidiary will be entitled (i) to an
injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and (ii) to
specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United

6
127

this Agreement or one or more sections hereof shall not be considered a waiver
or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to

▇▇▇▇▇▇, Ph.D. and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and each of them as its sole and exclusive

of this Agreement. This proxy is coupled with an interest and shall be
irrevocable and binding upon any and all transferees of the Company Common Stock
and Company Preferred Stock so long as it remains in effect pursuant to the
terms hereof. This proxy/power of attorney shall not terminate on disability of
the principal. Each Stockholder will take such further action as may be
necessary to effect the foregoing and hereby revokes any proxy previously
granted by such Stockholder with respect to such Stockholder's Company Common
Stock and Company Preferred Stock.
8. ENFORCEMENT OF THE AGREEMENT.
Each Stockholder acknowledges that irreparable damage would occur in the
event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in
accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is
accordingly agreed that Parent and Celtrix will be entitled (i) to an injunction
or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and (ii) to specifically
enforce the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any
state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which

action that would have the effect of changing any Stockholder's ownership of the
Company's capital stock or other securities.
10. TERMINATION.
This Agreement will terminate on the earlier of (a) the effective time of
the Exchange or (b) the date on which the Reorganization Agreement is terminated
in accordance with its terms. Upon termination of this Agreement, all
obligations of the parties hereto shall terminate except to the extent that any
such party has committed a material breach of this Agreement prior to such
termination.

connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
13. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) All representations and warranties contained herein expire upon the
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10 hereof.
(b) Any provision of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the
party that is entitled to the benefits thereof. No such waiver, amendment or
supplement shall be effective unless in writing signed by the party or parties
sought to be bound thereby. Any waiver by any party of a breach of any provision
of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any
other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this
Agreement. The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of
this Agreement or one or more sections hereof shall not be considered a waiver
or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to
that term or any other term of this Agreement.
(c) This Agreement contains the entire agreement among Parent, Celtrix
and the Stockholders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes
all prior agreements among Parent, Celtrix and the Stockholders with respect to
such matters. This Agreement may not be amended, changed, supplemented, waived
or otherwise modified, except upon the delivery of a written agreement executed
by the parties hereto.
(d) The descriptive headings contained herein are for convenience and
reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of
