ENZON PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(1) ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared from the books and records of Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Enzon" or
the "Company") and its subsidiaries in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information pursuant to
Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required for complete annual financial statements. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included. Certain prior year balances have been
reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Interim results are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the six-month
transition period (see below). The interim consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the
notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. Effective December 31, 2005, the Company will
change its fiscal year end from June 30 to December 31. Accordingly, Enzon will
file a report on Form 10-K covering the six-month transition period ending
December 31, 2005.
(2) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has incentive and non-qualified stock option plans for
employees, officers, directors, consultants and independent contractors. These
plans, the 2001 Incentive Stock Plan and the 1987 Non-Qualified Stock Option
Plan, are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.
Options granted to employees generally vest over four years from date of grant
and options granted to directors vest after one year. The exercise price of the
options granted must be at least 100% of the fair value of the Company's common
stock at the time the options are granted. Options may be exercised for a period
of up to ten years from the date they are granted. In April and June 2005, the
Board of Directors accelerated the vesting of all of the Company's unvested
stock options awarded to directors, officers and employees with exercise prices
greater than the market value of the Company's common stock on the effective
date of the accelerations. The accelerations resulted in the Company not being
required to recognize aggregate compensation expense under the new accounting
for share-based payments described below of approximately $2.5 million during
the three months ended September 30, 2005.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 (revised
2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"), which replaces "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," ("SFAS 123") and supersedes Accounting Principles
Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." SFAS
123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of
employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on
their fair values beginning with the first annual reporting period that begins
after June 15, 2005. Under SFAS 123R, the pro forma disclosures previously
permitted under SFAS 123 are no longer an alternative to financial statement
recognition.
The Company has adopted the new standard effective July 1, 2005 and has
selected the Black-Scholes method of valuation for share-based compensation. The
Company has adopted the modified prospective transition method which requires
that compensation cost be recorded, as earned, for all unvested stock options
and restricted stock outstanding at the beginning of the first quarter of
adoption of SFAS 123R. The charge is being distributed and recognized in
research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses over
the remaining service period after the adoption date based on the options'
original estimate of fair value.

Exercisable at September 30, 2005 5,528 $16.65 7.88 $ 687
======
For grants during the three months ended September 30, 2005, the
Company's weighted average assumptions for expected volatility, dividends,
expected term until exercise, and risk-free interest rate were 57%, 0%, 5.18
years and 3.88%, respectively. Expected volatility is based on historical
volatility of the Company's common stock. The expected term of options is
estimated based on the Company's historical exercise rate and forfeiture rates
are estimated based on employment termination experience, each determined
separately for certain employee groups. The risk-free rate is based on U.S.
Treasury yields for securities in effect at the time of grant with terms
approximating the expected term until exercise of the option. In the three
months ended September 30, 2005, the Company recorded share-based compensation
for restricted stock and options of $0.4 million which is included in the
Company's net loss for the period. No compensation costs were capitalized into
inventory during the period. The Company did not record a tax benefit related
to share-based compensation expense. As of September 30, 2005, there was $1.8
million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options,
that the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 45
months. The Company granted options with fair values ranging from $3.14 to $3.52
per option or a weighted average of $3.21 per option. The amount of restricted
stock outstanding at September 30, 2005 was 0.7 million shares. The Company
utilizes newly issued shares to satisfy the exercise of stock options.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company applied the
intrinsic-value-based method of accounting prescribed by APB 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations, to account for its
stock options granted to employees. Under this method, compensation cost was
recorded only if the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of
grant exceeded the exercise price. SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation", established accounting and disclosure requirements using a
fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation
plans. As permitted by SFAS 123, the Company elected to continue to apply the
intrinsic-value-based method of accounting described above, and adopted only the
disclosure requirements of SFAS 123, as amended, which were similar in most
respects to SFAS 123R, with the exception of option forfeitures, which the
Company accounted for as they occurred.

(1) Information for 2004 has been adjusted for taxes using an estimated
tax rate of 40%.
The fair value for each stock option granted was estimated at the date
of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model, assuming no dividends and
the following assumptions. For grants during the three months ended September
30, 2004, the Company's weighted average assumptions for expected volatility,
dividends, expected life, and risk-free interest rate were 39%, 0%, 4.76 years
and 3.38%, respectively.
Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of our common
stock; the expected life represents the weighted average period of time that
options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting
schedules and our historical exercise patterns; and the risk-free rate is based
on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods
corresponding with the expected life of the option.
(3) SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES
The Company classifies its investments in marketable equity securities
and debt securities, including auction rate securities, as available-for-sale.
The Company classifies those investments available for current operations with
maturities of one year or less as current assets and investments with maturities
greater than one year as noncurrent assets when it has the intent and ability to
hold such securities for at least one year. Debt and marketable equity
securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses
(which are deemed to be temporary), net of related tax effect, included in the
determination of other comprehensive income (loss) and reported in stockholders'
equity. The fair values of substantially all securities are determined by quoted
market prices.
The Company holds auction rate securities for which interest or
dividend rates are generally reset for periods of up to 90 days. The auction
rate securities outstanding at September 30, 2005 were investments in state
government bonds and corporate securities. At September 30, 2005, the Company
held auction rate securities with contractual maturities between 2005 and 2009.

ENZON PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
The cost of the debt securities is adjusted for amortization of
premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. The amortization, along with
realized gains and losses, is included in investment income, net. The cost of
securities is based on the specific identification method.
Investments are considered impaired when a decline in fair value is
determined to be other-than-temporary. The Company employs a systematic
methodology that considers available evidence in evaluating potential impairment
of its investments in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 03-1,
"The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain
Investments" ("EITF 03-1"). In the event that the cost of an investment exceeds
its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, the duration and
extent to which the fair value is less than cost; the financial health of and
business outlook for the investment or investee; and the Company's intent and
ability to hold the investment. The Company has determined that there were no
other-than-temporary declines in the fair values of its short-term investments
and marketable securities as of September 30, 2005 or June 30, 2005.
The following table shows the gross unrealized losses and fair value of
the Company's available-for-sale securities (both short-term and long-term)
aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities
have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at September 30, 2005 (in
thousands):

Total $90,679 ($426) $57,069 ($882)
======= ======= ======= =======
(1) U.S. GOVERNMENT AGENCY DEBT. The unrealized losses of $0.7 million in
the U.S. Government agencies and Federal agency mortgage-backed securities were
attributable to increases in interest rates. These holdings do not permit the
issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost.
Further, because the declines in market value are due to increases in interest
rates and not the credit quality of the issuer, and the Company has the ability
and the intent to hold these investments until a recovery of fair value, the
Company does not consider its investments in U.S. Government agency debt to be
other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2005.
(2) U.S. CORPORATE DEBT. The unrealized losses of $0.6 million on the U.S.
corporate debt were attributable to increases in interest rates, as well as bond
pricing. The Company invests in bonds that are rated A1 or better, as dictated
by its approved investment policy. Since the changes in the market value of
these investments are due to changes in interest rates and not the credit
quality of the issuer, and the Company has the ability and intent to hold these
investments until recovery of the fair value, the Company does not consider its
investments in U.S. corporate debt to be other-than-temporarily impaired at
September 30, 2005.
(3) AUCTION RATE SECURITIES. The unrealized loss on the auction rate
securities was attributable to increases in interest rates. The Company has the
ability and intent to hold these investments until recovery of the fair value;
therefore, it does not consider its investments in auction rate securities to be
other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2005.

(4) INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY SECURITIES
At September 30, 2005 the Company's investments in equity securities
include mainly investments in Nektar Therapeutics ("Nektar") and Micromet AG
("Micromet"). At June 30, 2005, the Company's investment in equity securities
also included an investment in NPS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("NPS") common stock.
The Company's investment in Nektar is in the form of preferred stock that is
convertible into common stock and its investment in Micromet is in the form of a
note that is convertible into common stock. The Company's investments in Nektar
and Micromet are both cost method investments. As of September 30, 2005 and June
30, 2005, the Company's investments in Nektar and Micromet had an aggregate book
value of $6.4 million and $6.4 million, respectively. The Company's investment
in NPS common stock is recorded at its fair value and unrealized gains or losses
are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income. During August 2005, the
Company sold its remaining investment in NPS common stock, which resulted in the
recognition of a $4.3 million loss as a component of other income (expense) in
the statement of operations and cash proceeds of $3.5 million. See note 13.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during
the periods. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share for the
three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the denominator includes both
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the number
of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents if the inclusion of such common
stock equivalents is not anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2005 and 2004, the
Company had 12.2 million and 9.5 million, respectively, of potentially dilutive
common stock equivalents that are excluded from the dilutive earnings per share
calculations, as the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

(10) CASH FLOW INFORMATION
The Company considers all highly liquid securities with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash payments for
interest were approximately $9.0 million for the three months ended September
30, 2005 and September 30, 2004. Income tax payments for the three months ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004 were $0.05 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
(11) INCOME TAXES
The Company recognized a tax expense for the three months ended
September 30, 2005 due to the deferred tax liability recorded for goodwill. As
of September 30, 2005, the Company has provided a valuation allowance against
its net deferred tax assets since the Company believes it is not more likely
than not that its deferred tax assets will be realized.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
During the three months ended September 30, 2004, the Company recorded
a net tax benefit of approximately $0.6 million. The tax benefit recognized for
the three months ended September 30, 2004 was calculated using an estimated
annual effective tax rate of 40%, based on the projected income tax benefit and
taxable loss for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.
(12) BUSINESS SEGMENTS
A single management team that reports to the Chief Executive Officer
comprehensively manages the Company's business operations. The Company does not
operate separate lines of business or separate business entities with respect to
any of its approved products or product candidates. In addition, the Company
does not conduct any operations outside of the United States and Canada. The
Company has not historically prepared discrete financial statements with respect
to separate product areas. Accordingly, the Company does not have separately
reportable segments.
(13) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
On February 19, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of
merger with NPS. On June 4, 2003, the merger agreement was terminated. In
accordance with the mutual termination agreement between the two companies, the
Company received 1.5 million shares of NPS common stock.
In August 2003, the Company entered into a Zero Cost Protective Collar
(the "Collar") arrangement with a financial institution to reduce its exposure
to changes in the share price associated with the 1.5 million shares of common
stock of NPS received as part of the merger termination agreement with NPS. The
Collar matured in four separate three-month intervals from November 2004 through
August 2005, at which time the Company received proceeds from the sale of the
securities. The amount received at each maturity date was determined based on
the market value of NPS' common stock on such maturity date, as well as the
value of the Collar. From August 2003 to November 2003, the Collar was
designated a derivative hedging instrument in accordance with SFAS 133; in
November 2003, hedge accounting was terminated. The Company carried the
derivative as an asset or a liability at fair value. The change in fair value
was recorded in other income in the condensed consolidated statements of
operations. During each of the quarters ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the
Company sold 375,000 shares of NPS common stock it held and 375,000 shares of
the Collar instrument matured. This resulted in the recognition of a loss of
$3.5 million and $1.3 million as a component of other income (expense) for the
quarters ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company received
cash proceeds from the settlement of this instrument totaling $7.5 million in
each of the quarters ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. At September 30, 2005,
the Company no longer holds any shares of NPS nor does it hold any portion of
the Collar.
(14) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and
Error Corrections", which replaced APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and
SFAS No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements".
Statement 154 changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting of a
change in accounting principle. APB Opinion No. 20 previously required that most
voluntary changes in an accounting principle be recognized by including the
cumulative effect of the new accounting principle in net income of the period of
the change. SFAS No. 154 now requires retrospective application of changes in an
accounting principle to prior period financial statements, unless it is
impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative
effect of the change. The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of this
statement will have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations
and financial condition.

(UNAUDITED)
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, "Exchanges of
Nonmonetary Assets--An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for
Nonmonetary Transactions". SFAS 153 eliminates the exception from fair value
measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets in paragraph
21(b) of APB Opinion No. 29, "Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions," and
replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial
substance. SFAS 153 specifies that a nonmonetary exchange has commercial
substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change
significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS 153 is effective for the fiscal
periods beginning after June 15, 2005 and was adopted by the Company on July 1,
2005. The adoption of SFAS 153 had no impact on its consolidated results of
operations and financial condition.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs--An
Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4". SFAS 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43,
Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts
of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material
(spoilage). Among other provisions, the new rule requires that items such as
idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs
be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the
criterion of "so abnormal" as stated in ARB No. 43. Additionally, SFAS 151
requires that the allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of
conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS
151 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. On July 1, 2005
the Company adopted SFAS 151 and its adoption had no impact on its consolidated
results of operations and financial condition.
In response to the enactment of the American Job Creation Act of 2004
on October 22, 2004 the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 109-1,
"Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, for the Tax
Deduction Provided to U.S. Based Manufacturers by the American Job Creation Act
of 2004". FSP No. 109-1 clarifies how to apply SFAS No. 109 to the new law's tax
deduction for income attributable to "domestic production activities." The fully
phased-in deduction is up to nine percent of the lesser of taxable income or
"qualified production activities income." The staff position requires that the
deduction be accounted for as a special deduction in the period earned, not as a
tax-rate reduction. As a result, the Company will recognize a reduction in its
provision for income taxes for domestic production activities in the quarterly
periods in which the Company is eligible for the deduction.
(15) NATIMMUNE A/S AGREEMENT
In September 2005, the Company entered into a license agreement with
NatImmune A/S ("NatImmune") for NatImmune's lead development compound,
recombinant human Mannose-binding Lectin ("rhMBL"), a protein therapeutic under
development for the prevention of severe infections in MBL-deficient individuals
undergoing chemotherapy. Under the agreement, the Company received exclusive
worldwide rights, excluding the Nordic countries, and is responsible for the
development, manufacture, and marketing of rhMBL. The $10.0 million upfront cost
of the license agreement was charged to in-process research and development in
the three months ended September 30, 2005. The Company paid NatImmune the
upfront license fee in October 2005. The Company will be responsible for making
additional payments upon the successful completion of certain clinical
development, regulatory, and sales-based milestones. NatImmune is also eligible
to receive royalties from any future product sales of rhMBL by Enzon and retains
certain rights to develop a non-systemic formulation of rhMBL for topical
administration.
(16) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
One of the Company's executive officers, Jeffrey H. Buchalter, received
relocation benefits in connection with his appointment as Chief Executive
Officer. The Company is administering these benefits through a relocation
services agreement with an independent third party (the "Provider") pursuant to
which, in accordance with Enzon's relocation policy, in September 2005 the
Provider purchased Mr. Buchalter's residence at a purchase price calculated
using the average of two independent appraisals of the property (the "Purchase
Price"). Mr. Buchalter was paid $412,384 in connection with the transaction
which amount represents Mr. Buchalter's equity in the property. The amount is
classified under other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance
sheet at September 30, 2005. Under the relocation services agreement, the
Company reimbursed the Provider for the equity component of the Purchase Price
and the related closing costs. The Company is responsible for a $2,500 service
fee to the Provider as well as carrying and sales costs that the Provider incurs
in connection with selling the property. The Company will receive the net
proceeds from the resale of the property, and, if the property is sold for less
than the Purchase Price, it is responsible for reimbursing the Provider for the
amount of the deficiency.

(17) SUBSEQUENT EVENT
In October 2005, the Company amended its license agreement with Aventis
Pharma, Inc. and Aventis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (together "Aventis"), members of
the Sanofi-Aventis Group, for its oncology product, ONCASPAR(R) (pegaspargase).
The amended agreement, which will become effective in January 2006, includes a
significant reduction in the royalty rate, with no royalty obligation for the
first $25.0 million of ONCASPAR sales and a single digit royalty percentage
payable to Aventis on those annual sales of ONCASPAR that are in excess of $25.0
million. Previously, the Company was obligated to pay 25% royalty on all sales
of ONCASPAR in the U.S. and Canada. The Company will pay Aventis an upfront cash
payment of $35.0 million in January 2006. Aventis is entitled to receive royalty
payments through June 30, 2014, at which time all Enzon royalty obligations will
cease.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
COMPANY OVERVIEW
We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development,
manufacture, and commercialization of pharmaceutical products for patients with
cancer and other life-threatening diseases through the application of our
proprietary technologies and through strategic partnerships. Our revenues are
comprised of sales of four FDA-approved products marketed by our specialized
sales force, ABELCET, ADAGEN, ONCASPAR, and DEPOCYT. We also receive royalties
on sales of products that use our technology, including PEG-INTRON marketed by
Schering-Plough Corporation ("Schering-Plough") and MACUGEN, marketed by Eyetech
Pharmaceuticals ("Eyetech") and Pfizer Inc. In addition, we receive contract
manufacturing revenue for the manufacture of injectable products at our
manufacturing facility, including ABELCET and MYOCET for Zeneus Pharma Ltd. and
the multivitamin MVI(R) for Mayne Group Limited ("Mayne").
Since December 2004, a new executive management team has been formed
and a number of new board members have been appointed. Our new leadership has
been taking a number of positive actions to reshape our business for the future,
including focusing on maximizing performance, improving processes, and investing
in our core assets. Going forward, key elements of our strategy will include:
leveraging our resources and infrastructure; capitalizing on our strong
technological heritage, including rebuilding our development pipeline; investing
in our marketed brands; and selectively pursuing strategic alliances.
Effective December 31, 2005, we will change our fiscal year end from
June 30 to December 31. Accordingly, we will file a report on Form 10-K covering
the six-month transition period ending December 31, 2005.
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations in this report contains "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking
statements relate to expectations or forecasts of future events. These
statements use words such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate,"
"expect," "forecast," "project," "intend," "plan," "potential," "will," and
other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with a discussion of
potential future events or circumstances or future operating or financial
performance. You can also identify forward-looking statements by the fact that
they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts, but rather, relate
to future actions, prospective products, future performance or results of
current or anticipated products, research and development and other expenses and
revenues from new or existing collaborations.
Specific examples of such forward looking statements include the
potential impact on our revenues of Schering-Plough's launch of PEG-INTRON in
Japan, the potential impact on our ability to sustain or grow our ABELCET
revenues in light of continuing competitive and pricing pressure in the
intravenous antifungal market, the future sales performance of our other
products, the potential impact of manufacturing and stability problems with
ONCASPAR, the continued sufficiency of our capital resources, and our ability to
access the capital markets in the future. This is not necessarily inclusive of
all examples of forward-looking statements that are or may be contained in this
report.
Any or all forward-looking statements contained in this report may turn
out to be wrong. Actual results may vary materially, and there are no guarantees
about our financial and operating performance or the performance of our stock.
All statements are made as of the date of signing of this report and we do not
assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statement as a result of new
information, future events, or otherwise. You should, however, consult any
further disclosures we make on related subjects in our reports on Forms 10-Q,
8-K and 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Many factors could cause actual results to differ from the results or
developments discussed or predicted in the forward-looking statements made in
this report. These factors include inaccurate assumptions and a broad variety of
other risks and uncertainties, including some that are known and some that are
not. Although it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors, many
of them are described under the caption "Risk Factors" in the "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"
section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2005, which we filed with the SEC and which "Risk Factors" section of such Form
10-K is incorporated by Reference in this report. Readers of this report are
advised to read such Risk Factors in connection with this report.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total cash reserves, which include cash, cash equivalents, short term
investments and marketable securities, were $228.7 million as of September 30,
2005, as compared to $225.1 million as of June 30, 2005. The increase is
primarily due to net proceeds from the sale of 375,000 shares of NPS
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. common stock, offset in part by cash used in operating
activities.
During the three months ended September 30, 2005, net cash used in
operating activities was $2.4 million compared to $3.8 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2004. Cash used in operating activities during the
three months ended September 30, 2005 consisted of our net loss of $5.8 million
and cash outflows related to changes in our operating assets and liabilities of
$18.0 million, offset in part by non-cash reconciling items related to (i)
depreciation and amortization charges of $5.7 million, (ii) an increase in the
valuation allowance associated with our deferred tax assets of $1.0 million,
(iii) a loss related to an equity collar arrangement and sale of NPS common
stock of $3.5 million, (iv) acquired in-process research and development of
$10.0 million, and (v) other adjustments of $1.2 million. Cash used in operating
activities during the three months ended September 30, 2004 consisted of our net
loss of $0.9 million and cash outflows related to changes in our operating
assets and liabilities of $10.7 million, offset in part by non-cash reconciling
items related to (i) depreciation and amortization charges of $5.6 million, (ii)
a loss related to an equity collar arrangement and sale of NPS common stock of
$1.3 million, and (iii) other adjustments of $0.9 million.
Cash used in investing activities totaled $26.6 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $23.3 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2004. Cash used in investing activities during the three
months ended September 30, 2005, consisted of net cash used for purchases of
marketable securities of $117.6 million and capital expenditures of $1.1 million
offset in part by cash proceeds of $92.1 million from sales of marketable
securities, including $7.5 million from the sale of 375,000 shares of NPS common
stock. Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended September
30, 2004 consisted of net cash used for purchases of marketable securities of
$22.5 million and capital expenditures of $0.8 million.
There was no cash provided by financing activities for the three months
ended September 30, 2005. During the three months ended September 30, 2004, we
received $0.1 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our
stock option plans.
As of September 30, 2005, we had $399.0 million of convertible
subordinated notes outstanding that bear interest at an annual rate of 4.5%.
Interest is payable on January 1 and July 1 of each year. Accrued interest on
the notes was $4.5 million as of September 30, 2005. The holders may convert all
or a portion of the notes into common stock at any time on or before July 1,
2008. The notes are convertible into our common stock at a conversion price of
$70.98 per share, subject to adjustment in certain events. The notes are
subordinated to all existing and future senior indebtedness. Since July 7, 2004,
we may redeem any or all of the notes at specified redemption prices, plus
accrued and unpaid interest to the day preceding the redemption date. In October
2005, through a privately negotiated transaction, we redeemed approximately $5.0
million in aggregate principal amount and accrued interest of the Notes in
exchange for a cash payment of $4.7 million, which includes a principal payment
of $4.6 million and accrued interest of $0.1 million. The notes will mature on
July 1, 2008 unless earlier converted, redeemed at our option or redeemed at the
option of the note-holder upon a fundamental change, as described in the
indenture for the notes. Neither we nor any of our subsidiaries are subject to
any financial covenants under the indenture. In addition, neither we nor any of
our subsidiaries are restricted under the indenture from paying dividends,
incurring debt or issuing or repurchasing our securities.
Our current sources of liquidity are our cash reserves; interest earned
on such cash reserves; short-term investments; marketable and equity securities;
sales of ADAGEN(R), ONCASPAR(R), DEPOCYT(R) and ABELCET(R); royalties earned,
which are primarily related to sales of PEG-INTRON(R), and contract
manufacturing revenue. Based upon our currently planned research and development
activities and related costs and our current sources of liquidity, we anticipate
our current cash reserves and expected cash flow from operations will be
sufficient to meet our capital and operational requirements for the foreseeable
future; however, we may seek additional financing to meet the maturity of our
convertible notes.
While we believe that our current sources of liquidity will be adequate
to satisfy our capital and operational needs for the foreseeable future, we may
seek additional financing, such as through future offerings of equity or debt
securities or agreements with collaborators with respect to the development and
commercialization of products, to fund future operations and potential
acquisitions. We cannot assure you, however, that we will be able to obtain
additional funds on acceptable terms, if at all.
16
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As part of our ongoing business, we do not participate in transactions
that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial
partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or
special purpose entities ("SPE"), which would have been established for the
purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually
narrow limited purposes. As of September 30, 2005, we are not involved in any
SPE transactions.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
Our major outstanding contractual obligations relate to our operating
leases, inventory purchase commitments, convertible debt, and license agreements
with collaborative partners.
Since June 30, 2005, other than the addition of the agreements with
NatImmune discussed in Note 15, NatImmune A/S Agreement, and members of the
Sanofi-Aventis Group in Note 17, Subsequent Event, to the condensed consolidated
financial statements contained in this report, there has been no material change
with respect to our contractual obligations as disclosed under Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -
Contractual Obligations in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
June 30, 2005.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND 2004
Revenues. Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2005
were $44.0 million, as compared to $40.5 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2004. The components of revenues are product sales, manufacturing
revenue, royalties we earn on the sale of our products by others and contract
revenue.
Net product sales decreased by 9% to $25.2 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $27.5 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2004. The decrease in net product sales was attributable to
a decline in North American sales of our intravenous antifungal product,
ABELCET, due to competitive market conditions. Sales of ABELCET in North America
decreased by 33% to $11.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005,
as compared to $16.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004.
ONCASPAR net sales increased by 33% to $5.8 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2005 versus $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30,
2004. The increase in ONCASPAR sales was attributable to an increase in demand
reflecting our increased sales and marketing efforts to support the product, and
to a lesser extent a higher weighted average price. Sales of DEPOCYT remained
fairly consistent coming in at $2.3 million for each of the three-month periods
ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. ADAGEN sales increased by 38% for the three
months ended September 30, 2005 to $6.0 million compared to $4.3 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2004. The growth in ADAGEN sales for the three
months ended September 30, 2005 was due to an increase in the number of patients
over the corresponding period in the prior year, as well as, a higher weighted
average selling price.
Manufacturing revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2005
increased to $3.4 million, as compared to $2.5 million for the comparable period
of the prior year. Manufacturing revenues were comprised of revenues from the
manufacture of ABELCET and MYOCET for the European market, and to a lesser
extent the manufacture of an injectable multivitamin, MVI, for Mayne. Our
manufacturing revenue commenced in November 2002, when we entered into a
long-term manufacturing and supply agreement with Elan for the manufacture of
ABELCET and MYOCET for the European market in connection with our acquisition of
the North American ABELCET business.
Royalties for the three months ended September 30, 2005, increased to
$15.2 million compared to $10.1 million for the three months ended September 30,
2004. Royalties are primarily comprised of royalties we receive on sales of
PEG-INTRON, a PEG enhanced alpha interferon product. PEG-INTRON is marketed
worldwide by Schering-Plough for the treatment of hepatitis C. The growth in
royalties was due to the December 2004 launch of PEG-INTRON combination therapy
in Japan and to a lesser extent the January 2005 launch of MACUGEN in the U.S.
for the treatment of neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (AMD),
an eye disease associated with aging that destroys central vision. Under a
strategic alliance we formed in 2002 with Nektar, Nektar provides Eyetech with
PEGylation technology for use in MACUGEN and we receive a share of the royalties
Nektar Therapeutics ("Nektar") receives from Eyetech.
17
Due to the December 2004 launch of PEG-INTRON combination therapy in
Japan, we believe royalties from sales of PEG-INTRON may continue to be
positively impacted in the near term. In September 2005, Hoffmann-La Roche
reported that it received fast-track review in Japan for its PEGylated
interferon-based combination therapy with approval expected in the third quarter
of calendar 2006. In markets outside of Japan, PEG-INTRON competes in a highly
competitive market and Schering-Plough has reported contracting market
conditions. We cannot assure you that the positive impact of the launch of
PEG-INTRON in Japan will offset this market contraction and competitive
conditions or that any particular sales levels of PEG-INTRON will be achieved or
maintained.
Since December 2004, a new executive management team has been named and
a significant focus is being placed on improving our revenues by supporting our
four marketed brands, ABELCET, ONCASPAR, ADAGEN, and DEPOCYT, and expanding
their market potential through new initiatives. Despite our efforts, North
American sales of ABELCET may continue to be negatively impacted by the
competitive conditions in the intravenous antifungal market due to the
introduction of newer agents as well as increased pricing pressure in the
lipid-based amphotericin B market. We cannot assure you that our efforts to
support our products will be successful or that any particular sales levels of
ABELCET, ONCASPAR, ADAGEN, and DEPOCYT will be achieved or maintained.
Contract revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2005
remained relatively consistent at $0.3 million as compared to $0.3 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2004.
During the three months ended September 30, 2005, we had export sales
and royalties on export sales of $14.8 million, of which $8.4 million were in
Europe. Export sales and royalties recognized on export sales for the prior year
quarter were $10.8 million, of which $7.9 million were in Europe.
Cost of Sales and Manufacturing Revenue. Cost of sales and
manufacturing revenue, as a percentage of net sales and manufacturing revenue,
increased to 42% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to
36% for the same period last year. The increase was attributable to increased
capacity costs and negative absorption variances arising from low production
volumes.
Research and Development Expense. Research and development expenses
consist primarily of salaries and benefits; patent filing fees; contractor and
consulting fees, principally related to clinical and regulatory projects; costs
related to research and development partnerships or licenses; drug supplies for
clinical and preclinical activities; as well as, other research supplies and
allocated facilities charges.
Research and development expenses decreased by 47% to $5.3 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $10.0 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2004. The decrease was attributable to our
decision to discontinue a number of clinical and preclinical development
programs that did not meet our criteria for continued investment. We are
committed to investing in research and development as we advance our objective
of rebuilding our development pipeline.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling expenses consist
primarily of salaries and benefits for our sales and marketing personnel, as
well as other commercial expenses and marketing programs to support our sales
force. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and
benefits; outside professional services for accounting, audit, tax, legal, and
investor activities; and allocations of facilities costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 2005 decreased by 4% to $11.7 million, as compared to $12.2
million in the same period last year. The decrease was attributable to an
increase in general and administrative costs of $1.7 million offset in part by a
decrease in sales and marketing expenses of $2.2 million. The increase in
general and administrative costs was primarily attributable to (i) an increase
in personnel-related costs, including the timing of executive-level replacements
and relocation expenses associated with such replacements, and (ii) increased
legal fees associated with the increased focus we are placing on protecting our
intellectual property. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses was largely
due to the timing of our investments in sales and marketing programs.
18
Acquired in-process research and development. Acquired in-process
research and development for the three months ended September 30, 2005, was
$10.0 million and was attributable to the execution of a license agreement with
NatImmune in September 2005 for the clinical development of recombinant human
Mannose-binding Lectin. Mannose-binding Lectin is a naturally occurring human
plasma protein that plays a key role in the immune system's first-line defense
against infection.
Amortization. Amortization expense remained unchanged at $3.4 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. Amortization expense is
related to intangible assets acquired in connection with our purchase of the
North American ABELCET business in November 2002. Amortization of intangible
assets is provided over their estimated lives ranging from 1-15 years on a
straight-line basis.
Other income (expense). Other income (expense) for the three months
ended September 30, 2005 was a net expense of $6.4 million, as compared to a net
expense of $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Other
income (expense) includes: net investment income, interest expense, and other,
net.
Net investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2005
increased to $1.6 million from $0.8 million for the three months ended September
30, 2004 due to an increase in our interest bearing investments and higher
interest rates.
Interest expense was $4.9 million for the three months ended September
30, 2005, as compared to $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30,
2004. Interest expense is related to our 4.5% convertible subordinated notes
that were outstanding during each of the periods.
Other, net is primarily attributable to 1.5 million shares of NPS
common stock that we received under a June 2003 merger termination agreement and
a financial instrument we formed to reduce our exposure to the change in fair
value associated with such shares, specifically a zero cost protective collar
arrangement (the "Collar"). For the three months ended September 30, 2005,
other, net was an expense of $3.1 million, as compared to an expense of $1.4
million for the three months ended September 30, 2004. During each of the
quarters ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company sold 375,000 shares of
NPS common stock it held and 375,000 shares of the Collar instrument matured.
This resulted in the recognition of a loss of $3.5 million and $1.3 million as a
component of other income (expense) for the quarters ended September 30, 2005
and 2004, respectively. The Company received cash proceeds from the settlement
of this instrument totaling $7.5 million in each of the quarters ended September
30, 2005 and 2004.
Income Taxes. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, we
recognized a tax expense of approximately $1.1 million compared to tax benefit
of $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004. We recognized a
tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2005 due to a deferred tax
liability for goodwill. The tax provision for the three months ended September
30, 2004 was based on the projected income tax expense and taxable income for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A "critical accounting policy" is one that is both important to the
portrayal of a company's financial condition and results of operations and
requires management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as
a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are
inherently uncertain.
Our consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with
accounting principles that are generally accepted in the United States of
America. All professional accounting standards effective as of September 30,
2005 have been taken into consideration in preparing our consolidated financial
statements. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures including those related
to contingent assets and liabilities. Some of those estimates are subjective and
complex, and, consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following accounting policies have been highlighted as significant because
changes to certain judgments and assumptions inherent in these policies could
affect our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue from product sales and manufacturing revenue is recognized upon
passage of title and risk of loss to customers. This is generally at the time
products are shipped to customers. Provisions for discounts or chargebacks,
rebates and sales incentives to customers, and returns and other adjustments are
provided for in the period the related sales are recorded. Historical data is
used for estimating the amount of the reduction in gross sales.
19
The majority of our net product sales are to wholesale distributors who
resell the products to the end customers. We provide chargeback payments to
these distributors based on their sales to members of buying groups at prices
determined under a contract between us and the member. Administrative fees are
paid to buying groups based on the total amount of purchases by their members.
Chargeback amounts are based upon the volume of purchases multiplied by the
difference between the wholesaler acquisition cost and the contract price for a
product. We estimate the amount of the chargeback that will be paid using
historical trends, adjusted for current changes, and record the amounts as a
reduction to accounts receivable and a reduction of gross sales when we record
the sale of the product. The settlement of the chargebacks generally occurs
within three months after the sale to the wholesaler. We regularly analyze the
historical chargeback trends and make adjustments to recorded reserves for
changes in trends.
In addition, state agencies, which administer various programs, such as
the U.S. Medicaid and Medicare programs, also receive rebates. Medicaid rebates
and administrative fees are recorded as a liability and a reduction of gross
sales when we record the sale of the product. Medicaid rebates are typically
paid within six to nine months after sale. In determining the appropriate
accrual amount we consider our historical Medicaid rebate and administration fee
payments by product as a percentage of our historical sales as well as any
significant changes in sales trend. Current Medicaid rebate laws and
interpretations, and the percentage of our products that are sold to Medicaid
patients are also evaluated. Factors that complicate the rebate calculations are
the timing of the average manufacturer pricing computation, the estimated lag
time between sale and payment of a rebate and the level of reimbursement by
state agencies.
The following is a summary of reductions of gross sales accrued as of
September 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005:
September 30, 2005 June 30, 2005
------------------ -------------
Accounts Receivable Reductions:
Chargebacks $5,216 $6,137
Cash Discounts 310 265
Other (including returns) 819 840
------ ------
Total $6,345 $7,242
------ ------
Accrued Liabilities:
Medicaid Rebates $2,089 $2,604
Administrative Fees 321 347
------ ------
Total $2,410 $2,951
------ ------
We have inventory management agreements with three of our major
wholesalers. These agreements provide that the wholesalers maintain inventory
levels at no more than six selling weeks. During the three months ended
September 30, 2005, we decreased our distribution channel estimate to reflect
the maximum wholesaler inventory levels. This resulted in an $0.8 million
reduction to our chargeback estimates and a favorable effect on operating income
for the three months ended September 30, 2005.
Royalties under our license agreements with third parties are
recognized when earned through the sale of the product by the licensee net of
any estimated future credits, chargebacks, sales discount rebates and refunds.
Contract revenues are recorded as the earnings process is completed.
Non-refundable milestone payments that represent the completion of a separate
earnings process are recognized as revenue when earned, upon the occurrence of
contract-specified events and when the milestone has substance. Non-refundable
payments received upon entering into licenses and other collaborative agreements
where we have continuing involvement are recorded as deferred revenue and
recognized ratably over the estimated service period.
Under the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences
attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to
taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to
be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets is
provided for when it is not more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred tax assets will be realized. We believe that it is not more likely than
not that our net deferred tax assets will be realized, including our net
operating losses from operating activities and stock option exercises, based on
future operations. Accordingly, we have recorded a full valuation allowance
against our deferred tax assets.
20
We assess the carrying value of our cost method investments in
accordance with SFAS No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity" and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 59 "Accounting for
Non-current Marketable Equity Securities". The Company evaluates its investments
in accordance with EITF 03-01, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment
and its Application to Certain Investments". An impairment write-down is
recorded when a decline in the value of an investment is determined to be other
than temporary. These determinations involve a significant degree of judgment
and are subject to change as facts and circumstances change.
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and other
Intangible Assets", goodwill and intangible assets determined to have an
indefinite useful life acquired in a purchase business combination are not
subject to amortization, are tested at least annually for impairment, and are
tested for impairment more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that
the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that
the carrying amount exceeds the asset's fair value. Because our business is in
one reporting unit, this determination is made at the entity level and consists
of two steps. First, we determine the fair value of our reporting unit and
compare it to its carrying amount. Second, if the carrying amount of the
reporting unit exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for any
excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill over the implied
fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by
allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a
purchase price allocation, in accordance with SFAS No. 141, "Business
Combinations". The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair
value of our goodwill. Recoverability of amortizable intangible assets is
determined by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the future
undiscounted net cash flow to be generated by the asset. The evaluations involve
amounts that are based on management's best estimate and judgment. Actual
results may differ from these estimates. If recorded values are less than the
fair values, no impairment is indicated.
Effective July 1, 2005, the Company has adopted SFAS 123R. "Share-Based
Payment." SFAS 123R establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in
which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services and
requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions
be recognized in the financial statements, measured by the fair value of the
equity or liability instruments issued, adjusted for estimated forfeitures. The
effect of adoption of SFAS 123R was not material to the quarter ended September
30, 2005. It is expected, however, that the new rules will have a material
effect on our consolidated results of operations and earnings per share in
future periods.
Options or stock awards issued to non-employees and consultants are
recorded at their fair value as determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123R and
EITF No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than
Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services", and
recognized over the related vesting or service period.
Fair value of share-based payments is determined using the
Black-Scholes valuation model which employs weighted average assumptions for
expected volatility of the Company's stock, expected term until exercise of the
options, the risk free interest rate, and dividends, if any.
We have elected the modified prospective transition method which
requires that compensation costs be recorded, as earned, for all unvested stock
options and restricted stock awards outstanding at June 30, 2005. In April and
June 2005, the Board of Directors accelerated the vesting of all of the
Company's unvested stock options awarded to directors, officers and employees
with exercise prices greater than the market value of the Company's common stock
on the effective date of the accelerations. This acceleration resulted in our
not being required to recognize aggregate compensation expense of approximately
$28.0 million over the succeeding 48 months ($2.5 million in the quarter ended
September 30, 2005). As of September 30, 2005, there was $1.8 million of total
unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options which is expected to
be recognized over a weighted-average period of 45 months.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The following discussion about our exposure to market risk of financial
instruments contains forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ
materially from those described.
Our holdings of financial instruments are comprised of equity and debt
securities and time deposits. All such instruments are classified as
available-for-sale securities. We do not invest in portfolio equity securities
or commodities or use financial derivatives for trading purposes. Our debt
security portfolio represents funds held temporarily pending use in our business
and operations. We manage these funds accordingly.
We seek reasonable assuredness of the safety of principal and market liquidity
by investing in rated fixed income securities while at the same time seeking to
achieve a favorable rate of return. Our market risk exposure consists
principally of exposure to changes in interest rates. Our holdings are also
exposed to the risks of changes in the credit quality of issuers. We typically
invest the majority of our investments in the shorter-end of the maturity
spectrum, and at September 30, 2005 all of our holdings were in instruments
maturing in five years or less.
The table below presents the principal amounts and related weighted
average interest rates by year of maturity for our investment portfolio as of
September 30, 2005 (in thousands):
FAIR
2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 TOTAL VALUE
-------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- ---------
Fixed Rate Securities $127,217 $ 40,284 $ 12,061 $ 4,000 $ 19,825 $203,387 $ 202,098

======== ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== =========
Our 4.5% convertible subordinated notes in the principal amount of
$399.0 million due July 1, 2008 have fixed interest rates. The fair value of the
notes was approximately $353.6 million at September 30, 2005 based on the
conversion price. The fair value of fixed interest rate convertible notes is
affected by changes in interest rates and by changes in the price of our common
stock.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(A) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act"), as of
September 30, 2005. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of September 30, 2005.
(B) CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, we began to implement a
remediation plan to enhance our accounting department and policies and
procedures to address material weaknesses in our internal control over financial
reporting that existed as of June 30, 2005. A detailed description of the
material weaknesses is included in Item 9A to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. A summary of these material weaknesses is
as follows:
o Our policies and procedures did not provide for adequate
management oversight and review of the accounting implications
of the terms and conditions of certain third-party agreements.
o Our policies and procedures did not provide for adequate
management oversight and review of the determination of
estimated reserves for sales returns, rebates, and wholesaler
price adjustments.
o Our policies and procedures did not provide for adequate
management oversight and review to ensure the proper
accounting for a zero cost protective collar derivative
instrument (the "Collar"). Specifically, we did not properly
value the Collar and did not properly apply the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," as amended, to the Collar.
22
Our remedial action plan, which we began implementing during the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2005, includes:
o Revising our policies and procedures to provide for an
increased level of management oversight and review with
respect to accounting for certain agreements with
third-parties.
o Increasing our level of training and education for accounting
and finance personnel and revising other policies and
procedures to provide for an increased level of management
oversight with respect to the computation of our estimated
revenue reserves for wholesaler price adjustments.
o Increasing our level of training, education, and accounting
reviews, and when necessary accessing additional accounting
and financial personnel, to ensure that all relevant financial
personnel have the appropriate level of technical expertise to
effectively interpret and apply accounting standards. As
indicated in Note 13, Derivative Instruments, the zero cost
protection collar derivative instrument matured during the
three months ended September 30, 2005. In addition, all
accounting matters related to such investments have been
resolved.
Other than the changes related to the remediation plan discussed above,
there have been no other changes in our internal control over financial
reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the
Exchange Act, during the quarterly period covered by this report that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting. Management is committed to monitoring the
improvements made to its internal control over financial reporting to ensure
remediation of the material weaknesses that existed as of June 30, 2005.
23
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
In September 2005, we entered into an employment agreement with Ivan D.
Horak, pursuant to which Dr. Horak was appointed our Executive Vice President
and Chief Scientific Officer. The employment agreement will be effective until
September 2, 2009, subject to automatic renewal for an additional twenty-four
months.
The agreement provides for a base salary of $425,000 per year and
participation in Enzon's bonus plan for management. Under the bonus plan, Dr.
Horak will be eligible to receive an annual performance-based cash bonus in an
amount between zero and 82.5% of base salary, based on individual and/or
corporate factors to be established and determined by the Board of Directors
each year. The annual target bonus is equal to 50% of Dr. Horak's base salary.
Within five days of the commencement of Dr. Horak's employment, he received a
sign-on cash bonus in the amount of $100,000.
Pursuant to the agreement, Dr. Horak was granted an option under our
2001 Incentive Stock Plan to purchase 200,000 shares of our Common Stock at a
per share exercise price of $7.14 (the last reported sale price of our common
stock on September 2, 2005). One-quarter of the options will vest on each of the
first four anniversaries of the grant. Dr. Horak also received 50,000 shares of
restricted Common Stock, 15,000 of which shares will vest on each of the third
and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant and the remaining 20,000 shares
will vest on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant, provided Dr. Horak
remains employed as our Executive Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer on
each such date.
In the event Dr. Horak's employment is terminated without cause (as
defined in the employment agreement) by us or terminated by Dr. Horak for good
reason (as defined in the employment agreement), Dr. Horak will be entitled to
(i) a cash payment equal to any unpaid base salary through the date of
termination plus any earned bonus relating to the preceding fiscal year that
remains unpaid on the date of termination; (ii) a cash payment equal to one year
of his base salary plus a cash payment equal to the target bonus which would
have been payable for the fiscal year which commences immediately following the
date of his termination and (iii) a cash payment equal to a prorata portion of
his target bonus for the fiscal year during which the termination occurs. In
addition, we will reimburse Dr. Horak for any medical and dental coverage
available to him and his family for a period of up to 18 months commencing on
the date of termination, and all options and shares of restricted stock
described above that have not vested at the time of termination will vest
immediately upon termination.
If we experience a change of control (as defined in Dr. Horak's
employment agreement) and we terminate Dr. Horak's employment without cause or
he terminates his employment for good reason, as defined, within the period
commencing 90 days before such change in control and ending one year after the
change of control, Dr. Horak will be entitled to (i) a cash payment equal to any
unpaid base salary through the date of termination plus any earned bonus
relating to the preceding fiscal year that remains unpaid on the date of
termination; (ii) a cash payment equal to two times the sum of his base salary
and target bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs and (iii) a
cash payment equal to a prorata portion of his target bonus for the fiscal year
during which the termination occurs. In addition, we will reimburse Dr. Horak
for any medical and dental coverage available to him and his family for a period
of up to 18 months commencing on the date of termination. Further, upon a change
of control any of Dr. Horak's options to purchase Common Stock and shares of
restricted Common Stock that have been granted to him, but not yet vested, prior
to the effective date of the change of control shall vest at such time.
Dr. Horak's employment agreement requires him to maintain the
confidentiality of our proprietary information during the term of his agreement
and thereafter. Dr. Horak is precluded from competing with us during the term of
his employment agreement and for one year after his employment is terminated.
In October 2005, Enzon amended its license agreement with Aventis
Pharma, Inc. and Aventis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (together "Aventis"), members of
the Sanofi-Aventis Group, for its oncology product, ONCASPAR(R) (pegaspargase).
The amended agreement, which will become effective in January 2006, includes a
significant reduction in the royalty rate, with no royalty obligation for the
first $25.0 million of ONCASPAR sales and a single digit royalty percentage
payable to Aventis on those annual sales of ONCASPAR that are in excess of $25.0
million. Previously, Enzon was obligated to pay 25% royalty on all sales of
ONCASPAR in the U.S. and Canada. We will pay Aventis an upfront cash payment of
$35.0 million in January 2006. Aventis is entitled to receive royalty payments
through June 30, 2014, at which time all Enzon royalty obligations will cease.
We believe there is a growth opportunity for ONCASPAR and we are committed to
investing in programs designed to optimize that potential, including programs
that might produce additional intellectual property protection for the product.
None of the patents currently owned or licensed to us relate to ONCASPAR.

EXECUTION COPY
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") dated as of September 2, 2005
(the "Effective Date"), between ENZON PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. (the "Company"), a
Delaware corporation with offices in Bridgewater, New Jersey, and IVAN D. HORAK,
M.D. (the "Executive"), a resident of New Jersey.
BACKGROUND
A. The Company is a biopharmaceutical company engaged in developing
advanced therapeutics for life threatening diseases.
B. The Executive has experience as an executive in the
biopharmaceutical industry.
C. The Company wishes to employ the Executive to render services for
the Company on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and the
Executive wishes to be retained and employed by the Company on such terms and
conditions.
TERMS
In consideration of the foregoing premises, the mutual agreements set
forth below and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Employment. The Company hereby employs the Executive, and the
Executive accepts such employment and agrees to perform services for the
Company, for the period and upon the other terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement.
2. Term. The term of the Executive's employment hereunder (the "Term")
shall commence on the Effective Date, and unless terminated at an earlier date
in accordance with Section 9 hereof, and shall extend through the fourth
anniversary of the Effective Date, subject to automatic renewal for an
additional twenty-four (24) months, unless either party hereto receives written
notice from the other party no later than ninety (90) days prior to the fourth
anniversary of the Effective Date (a "first term notice of non-renewal") that
such other party does not wish for the term hereof to continue beyond the fourth
anniversary of the Effective Date, in which event the term hereof and the
Executive's employment shall end at 5:00 PM on the fourth anniversary of the
Effective Date. If neither party provides a first term notice of non-renewal
prior to the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date, then the Term and the
Executive's employment shall extend until 5:00 PM Eastern Time on the earlier of
(a) the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Date and (b) the date that is
twelve (12) months following the date on which either party hereto receives
written notice (an "extension term notice of non-renewal") from the other party
that such other party does not wish for the term hereof to continue beyond such
twelve (12) month notice period. For the purposes of this Agreement, a "first
term notice of non-renewal" and an "extension term notice of non-renewal" shall
be referred to collectively as a "notice of non-renewal."
3. Position and Duties.
(a) Service with Company. During the Term, the Executive agrees to
perform such employment duties for the Company in an executive and managerial
capacity commensurate with the position of Executive Vice President and Chief
Scientific Officer of the Company. As Executive Vice President and Chief
Scientific Officer, the Executive shall have the authority, duties and
responsibilities associated with this position, including, without limitation,
the authority and duty generally to supervise and direct all research and
development activities of the Company as well as such additional duties
consistent with his position as assigned by the Chief Executive Officer,
reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, and subject to the control and
direction of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, the Board of Directors
of the Company (the "Board"), or any duly authorized Committee of the Board. For

for the benefit, of the Company, or disclose to the Company, any

The Executive will not render or perform services for any other
corporation, firm, entity or person which are inconsistent with the

represents and warrants to the Company that his entering into and performing
this Agreement will not constitute a breach of any employment, consulting,
non-competition or other agreement to which he is a party or any other
obligation of the Executive. The Executive represents and warrants to the
Company that he has not been debarred under the Generic Drug Enforcement Act of
1992 (Sections 306-308 of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act) nor has the
Executive received notice of action or threat of action of debarment. The

which Base Salary shall be paid in accordance with the Company's normal payroll
procedures and policies for its senior management. The compensation payable to
the Executive during each fiscal year of the Company beginning after the
Effective Date shall be established by the Board or the Compensation Committee
thereof following an annual performance review, but in no event shall the annual
rate of Base Salary for any successive year of the Term be less than the highest
annual rate of Base Salary in effect during the previous year of the Term.
2
(b) Annual Bonus. The Executive shall be entitled to participate in the
Company's bonus plan for management and any successor bonus plan covering
management with respect to each fiscal year of the Company ending during the
Term (the "Bonus Plan"). Under the Bonus Plan, the Executive shall be eligible
to receive a performance-based cash bonus for each fiscal year ending during the
Term in an amount, and based on objective individual and/or corporate
objectives, targets and factors (and evaluation as to the extent of achievement
thereof), to be established and determined by the Board in its discretion
following consultation between the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive
prior to, or within sixty (60) days after the commencement of, each fiscal year.
Under the Bonus Plan for the Executive, (i) the minimum cash bonus shall be zero
(0), (ii) the target cash bonus shall equal 50% of the Base Salary (the "Target
Bonus"), and (iii) the maximum cash bonus shall equal 82.5% of Base Salary. In
addition to the foregoing amounts, within five (5) days after Executive's first
day of employment, the Company shall pay to Executive a bonus in cash in the
amount of $100,000.
(c) Participation in Benefit Plans; Indemnification. While he is
employed by the Company, the Executive shall also be eligible to participate in
any incentive and employee benefit plans or programs which may be offered by the

The Company provides no assurance as to the adoption or continuance of any
particular employee benefit plan or program, and, except as provided at Section
10 hereof, the Executive's participation in any such plan or program shall be
subject to the provisions, rules and regulations applicable thereto. During the
Executive's employment with the Company, and thereafter, the Company shall
indemnify the Executive and hold him harmless from and against any claim,
liability and expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney fees)
made against or incurred by him in connection with his employment by the
Company, and cover him under a policy of directors and officers liability
insurance, in a manner and to an extent that is not less favorable to the
Executive as the indemnification protection, and liability insurance coverage,
that is afforded by the Company to any other senior officer or director. A copy
of the Company's Directors and Officers Liability Insurance policy will be
provided to the Executive.
(d) Expenses. The Company will pay or reimburse the Executive for all
reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred by him in the
performance of his duties under this Agreement, subject to the Company's normal
policies for expense verification.
(e) Stock Options. Subject to the Executive commencing his employment
hereunder as the Company's Executive Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer
on the Effective Date, the Executive shall be granted options to purchase shares
of common stock of the Company ("Common Stock") pursuant to the Company's 1987
Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, as amended (the "Stock Plan") and the form of
Non-Qualified Stock Option Certificate and Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit
A (the "Option Agreement"). Such options (the "Option") will cover 200,000 (Two
Hundred Thousand) shares of Common Stock at an exercise price per share equal to
the last reported sale price of a share of Common Stock as reported by the
Nasdaq Stock Market on the Effective Date or, if the Nasdaq Stock Market is not
open on the Effective Date, on the day next preceding the Effective Date on
which the Nasdaq Stock Market is open. The Option shall vest and be exercisable
as to 50,000 shares on each of the first four anniversaries of the Effective
Date. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10 hereof, once such options
become exercisable, they shall remain exercisable until 5:00 PM Eastern Time on
the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date. Except as otherwise provided
in this Agreement, the Option Agreement, a copy of which the Executive has
received and reviewed, shall govern the terms of the options granted hereunder.
In addition, at the discretion of the Board of Directors (or its applicable
committee), the Executive shall be entitled to receive further grants of stock
options, subject to the terms of the Option Plan.
3
(f) Restricted Stock Units. Upon execution of this Agreement, the
Executive shall be granted 50,000 (Fifty Thousand) restricted stock units,

the Effective Date and 20,000 shares on the fifth anniversary of the Effective
Date. The Executive acknowledges that he has received and reviewed a copy of the
2001 Incentive Stock Plan. At the discretion of the Board of Directors (or its
applicable committee), the Executive shall be entitled to receive additional
grants of restricted stock units, subject to the terms of the 2001 Incentive
Stock Plan or such other equity compensation plans that may be adopted by the
Company from time to time. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to guarantee
the Executive any additional grants of options, restricted stock, restricted
stock units, other equity awards or securities of the Company.
(g) Vacation. The Executive shall be entitled to vacations in
accordance with the policy of the Company with respect to its senior management,
in effect from time to time.
(h) Tax and Financial Planning Services. During each year of the term
of this Agreement, Company agrees to reimburse Executive, up to $7,500 per
fiscal year, for the costs of all tax return preparation, including any United
States, state, or local returns, as well as for professional estate and
financial planning services, if any, with Executive choosing the tax and other
professionals who will provide such services. The Company will pay Executive's
professional fees incurred to negotiate and prepare this Agreement and related
agreements, in an amount not to exceed $7,500.
(i) Certain Legal Expenses. In the event of any legal proceedings,
including without limitation arbitration, between the Company and Executive with
respect to any dispute hereunder in which Executive prevails over the Company,
the Company shall pay Executive's reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in
connection with such proceedings.
(j) Employee Handbook. The Company's Employee Handbook will be provided
to Executive. In the event the provisions of the Employee Handbook are
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this
Agreement shall control.
5. Noncompetition and Confidentiality Covenant.
(a) Noncompetition. The "Noncompete Period" shall be the Term plus the
one (1) year period immediately following termination of the Executive's
employment with the Company irrespective of the reason for, or circumstances
surrounding, such termination. In consideration for the compensation payable to
the Executive pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation the stock
options and Restricted Stock Units granted to the Executive hereunder, during
the Noncompete Period, the Executive will not directly, or indirectly, whether
as an officer, director, stockholder, partner, proprietor, associate, employee,
consultant, representative or otherwise, become, or be interested in or
associated with any other person, corporation, firm, partnership or entity,
engaged to a significant degree in (x) developing, manufacturing, marketing or
selling enzymes, protein-based biopharmaceuticals or other pharmaceuticals that
are modified using polyethylene glycol ("PEG"), (y) developing, marketing or
selling single-chain antigen-binding proteins or (z) any specific technology or
specific area of business in which the Company becomes involved to a significant
degree during the Term. For purposes of the preceding sentence, to determine
whether any entity is engaged in such activities to a "significant degree",
comparison will be made to the Company's operations at that time. In other
words, an entity will be deemed to be engaged in an activity to a significant
degree if the number of employees and/or amount of funds devoted by such entity
to such activity would be material to the Company's operations at that time. The
Executive is hereby prohibited from ever using any of the Company's proprietary
information or trade secrets to conduct any business, except for the Company's
business while the Executive is employed by the Company as provided in Section
5(b) hereof. The provisions contained in this Section 5(a) shall survive the
termination of the Executive's employment pursuant to Section 9 hereof or
otherwise. In the event the Executive breaches any of the covenants set forth in
this Section 5(a), the running of the period of restriction set forth herein
shall be tolled for the period during which the breach exists and recommence
upon the Executive's compliance with the terms of this Section 5(a).
4
(b) Confidentiality.
(i) The Executive acknowledges that, by reason of his
employment by the Company, he will have access to confidential
information of the Company, including, but not limited to, information
and knowledge pertaining to products, inventions, discoveries,
improvements, innovations, designs, ideas, trade secrets, proprietary
information, manufacturing, packaging, advertising, marketing,
distribution and sales methods, sales and profit figures, customer and
vendor lists and relationships between the Company and dealers,
distributors, sales representatives, wholesalers, customers, suppliers
and others who have business dealings with them (collectively,
"Confidential Information"). The Executive acknowledges that such
Confidential Information is a valuable and unique asset of the Company
and covenants that, both during and after the Term, he will not
disclose any Confidential Information to any person or entity, nor use
the Confidential Information for any purpose, except as his duties as
an employee of the Company may require, without the prior written
authorization of the Board. The obligation of confidentiality imposed
by this Section 5(b) shall not apply to Confidential Information that
otherwise becomes generally known to the public through no act of the
Employee in breach of this Agreement or any other party in violation of
an existing confidentiality agreement with the Company or which is
required to be disclosed by a specific order of a court or governmental
agency.
(ii) All Confidential Information, as well as any other
records, designs, patents, business plans, financial statements,
manuals, memoranda, lists, research and development plans and products,
and other property delivered to or compiled by the Executive for or on
behalf of the Company or its vendors or customers that pertain to the
business of the Company shall be and remain the property of the
Company, and be subject at all times to its discretion and control.
Likewise, all Confidential Information, as well as any other formulae,
correspondence, reports, records, charts, advertising materials and
other similar data pertaining to the business, activities or future
plans of the Company (and all copies thereof) that are collected by the
Executive shall be delivered promptly to the Company without request by
it upon termination of the Executive's employment.
5
(c) Nonsolicitation of Employees. During the Noncompete Period, the
Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, personally or through others,
encourage to leave employment with the Company, solicit for employment, or
advise or recommend to any other person, firm, business, or entity that they
employ or solicit for employment, any employee of the Company or of any parent,
subsidiary, or affiliate of the Company.
6. Ventures. If, during the term of his employment, the Executive is
engaged in or associated with the planning or implementing of any project,
program, venture or relationship involving the Company and a third party or
parties, all rights in such project, program, venture or relationship shall
belong to the Company. Except as approved by the Board, the Executive shall not
be entitled to any interest in such project, program, venture or relationship or
to any commission, finder's fee or other compensation in connection therewith
other than the compensation to be paid to the Executive as provided in this
Agreement.
7. Acknowledgment. The Executive agrees that the covenants and
agreements contained in Section 5 hereof are material to this Agreement; that
each of such covenants is reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve the
Company's interests, properties and business; that irreparable loss and damage
will be suffered by the Company should the Executive breach any of such
covenants and agreements; that each of such covenants and agreements is
separate, distinct and severable not only from the other of such covenants and
agreements but also from the other and remaining provisions of this Agreement;
that the unenforceability or breach of any such covenants or agreement shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of any other such covenant or agreement or
any other provision of this Agreement; and that, in addition to other remedies
available to it, the Company shall be entitled to both temporary and permanent
injunctions and any other rights or remedies it may have, at law or in equity,
to end or prevent a breach or contemplated breach by the Executive of any such
covenants or agreements.
(a) Geographic Extent of the Executive's Obligations Concerning Section
5. The restrictions contained in Section 5 are limited to the United States.
Given the nature of the Company's business, the restrictions contained in
Section 5 cannot be limited to any particular geographic region within the
United States. Therefore, the obligations of the Executive under Section 5 shall
apply to any geographic area in which the Company (i) has engaged in business
during the period of the Executive's employment with the Company or (ii) has
otherwise established during the period of the Executive's employment with the
Company its goodwill, business reputation or any customer or vendor relations.
(b) Limitation of Covenant. Ownership by the Executive, as a passive
investment, of less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of capital
stock or equity of any corporation or other entity that is publicly traded shall
not constitute a breach of Section 5.
(c) Blue Pencil Doctrine. The restrictions contained in Section 5 are
limited to the United States. If the duration or geographical extent of, or
business activities covered by, Section 5 are in excess of what is valid and
enforceable under applicable law, then such provision shall be construed to
cover only that duration, geographical extent or activities that are valid and
enforceable. The Executive acknowledges the uncertainty of the law in this
respect and expressly stipulates that this Agreement be given the construction
which renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not
exceeding its express terms) possible under applicable law.
6
(d) Disclosure. The Executive shall disclose to any prospective
employer, prior to accepting or continuing employment, the existence of Section
5 of this Agreement and shall provide such prospective employer with a copy of
Section 5 of this Agreement. The obligation imposed by this subsection 7(d)
shall terminate one year after the termination of the Executive's employment
with the Company.
8. Intellectual Property and Related Matters.
(a) Disclosure and Assignment. The Executive will promptly disclose in
writing to the Company complete information concerning each and every product,
invention, discovery, practice, process or method, whether patentable or not,
made, developed, perfected, devised, conceived or first reduced to practice by
the Executive, either solely or in collaboration with others, during the Term,
or within six months thereafter, whether or not during regular working hours,
relating either directly or indirectly to the business, products, practices or
techniques of the Company ("Developments"). The Executive hereby acknowledges
that any and all of the Developments are the property of the Company and hereby
assigns and agrees to assign to the Company any and all of the Executive's
right, title and interest in and to any and all of the Developments. At the
request of the Company, the Executive will confer with the Company and its
representatives for the purpose of disclosing all Developments to the Company,
as the Company shall reasonably request during the period ending three (3) years
after the end of the Term.
(b) Limitation on Section 8(a). The provisions of Section 8(a) shall
not apply to any Development meeting the following conditions:
(i) such Development was developed entirely on the Executive's
own time;
(ii) such Development was made without the use of any Company
equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret or customer information;
(iii) such Development does not relate (A) directly to the
business of the Company or (B) to the Company's actual or demonstrably
anticipated research or product or customer development; and
(iv) such Development does not result from any work performed
by the Executive for the Company.
(c) Assistance of the Executive. Upon request and without further
compensation therefor, but at no expense to the Executive, the Executive will do
all lawful acts, including but not limited to, the execution of papers and
lawful oaths and the giving of testimony, that in the opinion of the Company,
may be necessary or desirable in enforcing the Company's intellectual property
and trade secret rights, and for perfecting, affirming and recording the
Company's complete ownership and title to Developments.
(d) Records. The Executive will keep complete, accurate and authentic
accounts, notes, data and records of the Developments in the manner and form
requested by the Company. Such accounts, notes, data and records shall be the
property of the Company, and, upon the earlier of the Company's request or the
conclusion of his employment, the Executive will promptly surrender same to the
Company.
7
(e) Copyrightable Material. All right, title and interest in all
copyrightable material that the Executive shall conceive or originate, either
individually or jointly with others, and which arise out of the performance of
his duties under this Agreement or otherwise as an employee of the Company, will
be the property of the Company and are by this Agreement assigned to the Company
along with ownership of any and all copyrights in the copyrightable material.
Upon request and without further compensation therefor, but at no expense to the
Executive, the Executive shall execute all papers and perform all other acts
necessary to assist the Company to obtain and register copyrights on such
materials in any and all countries. Where applicable, works of authorship
created by the Executive for the Company in performing his responsibilities
under this Agreement shall be considered "works made for hire," as defined in
the U.S. Copyright Act.
(f) Know-How and Trade Secrets. All know-how and trade secret
information conceived or originated by the Executive that arises out of the
performance of his obligations or responsibilities under this Agreement or any
related material or information shall be the property of the Company, and all
rights therein are by this Agreement assigned to the Company.
9. Termination of Employment.
(a) Grounds for Termination. The Executive's employment pursuant to
this Agreement shall terminate prior to the expiration of the Term in the event
that at any time:
(i) the Executive dies,
(ii) the Executive becomes disabled (as defined below), so
that he cannot perform the essential functions of his position with or
without reasonable accommodation,
(iii) The Board elects to terminate the Executive's employment
for "Cause" and notifies the Executive in writing of such election,
(iv) The Board elects to terminate the Executive's employment
without "Cause" and notifies the Executive in writing of such election,
or
(v) The Executive elects to terminate his employment, without
Good Reason and without liability, and notifies the Board in writing of
such election.
If the Executive's employment is terminated pursuant to clause (i),
(ii) or (iii) of this Section 9(a), such termination shall be effective
immediately. If the Executive's employment is terminated pursuant to subsection
(iv) of this Section 9(a), such termination shall be effective 30 days after
receipt of the notice of termination, and if pursuant to subsection (v) of this
Section 9(a), such termination shall be effective 15 days after receipt of such
notice.
(b) "Cause" Defined. "Cause" shall mean (i) the willful engaging by the
Executive in illegal conduct or gross misconduct that is demonstrably and
materially injurious to the Company, (ii) the Executive's willful refusal to
perform his duties hereunder (other than any such failure resulting from illness
or incapacity) which refusal is demonstrably and materially injurious to the
Company, but only after the Executive has first received written notice of such
alleged refusal, and such refusal shall have continued for fifteen (15) days
after such notice without cure by the Executive, or (iii) the Executive's
material breach of his obligations under this Agreement which breach is
demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company, but only after the
Executive has first received written notice of such alleged breach and has
failed to cure such breach within fifteen (15) days after such notice; provided,
however, that if the breach is not one that can be reasonably cured, then the
foregoing requirement in this Clause (iii) for notice and opportunity to cure
shall not apply. For purposes of this Section 9(b), no act or failure to act on
the Executive's part shall be deemed "willful" unless done, or omitted to be
done, by the Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the
Executive's action or omission was in the best interests of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall not be deemed to have been
terminated for Cause unless and until the Company delivers to the Executive a
copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than a
majority of the Board (not including the Executive, if he is then on the Board)
at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable
notice to the Executive and an opportunity for the Executive, together with
counsel, to be heard before the Board) finding that, in the good faith opinion
of the Board, the Executive engaged in conduct set forth above and specifying
the particulars thereof in reasonable detail.
8
(c) Termination by the Executive for Good Reason. The Executive's
employment pursuant to this Agreement may be terminated by the Executive prior
to the expiration of the Term in the event the Executive has "Good Reason" to
terminate his employment, which shall mean the following:
(i) Any material adverse change in the Executive's status or
position, including, without limitation, any material diminution in the
Executive's position, duties, responsibilities or authority, as set
forth in Executive's Position Description, or the assignment to the
Executive of any duties or responsibilities that are inconsistent with
the Executive's status or position as of the Effective Date; or
(ii) A reduction in the Executive's annual Base Salary as the
same may be increased from time to time or failure to pay same; or
(iii) A reduction in the Target Bonus which could be paid to
the Executive under the Bonus Plan below 50% of the Executive's Base
Salary or a failure to pay when due any bonus earned for a completed
performance period in accordance with the applicable bonus plan
("Earned Bonus"), provided however, that the Company's failure to
actually award any bonus to the Executive, or the Company's actually
awarding a bonus to the Executive which is less than the Target Bonus
in each case in accordance with the applicable bonus plan, shall not
constitute Good Reason; or
(iv) The breach by the Company of any of its material
obligations under this Agreement; or
(v) The relocation of the Company's principal executive
offices to a location that increases the Executive's commuting distance
by more than thirty-five (35) miles or the Company requiring the
Executive to be based anywhere other than the Company's principal
executive offices, except for required travel substantially consistent
with the Executive's business obligations; or
(vi) The Company provides the Executive a notice of
non-renewal of the Term under Section 2(b) hereof.
9
Prior to the Executive being permitted to terminate his employment for
Good Reason, the Company shall have sixty (60) days to cure any such alleged
breach, assignment, reduction or requirement, after the Executive provides the
Company written notice of the actions or omissions constituting such breach,
assignment, reduction or requirement.
(d) "Change of Control" Defined. Change of Control means the following:
(i) "Board Change" which, for purposes of this Agreement,
shall have occurred if, over any twenty-four month period, a majority
of the seats (other than vacant seats) on the Company's Board were to
be occupied by individuals who were neither (A) nominated by at least
one-half (1/2) of the directors then in office (but excluding, for this
purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs
as a result of either an actual or threatened election contest or other
actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on
behalf of a Person (as defined herein) other than the Board) nor (B)
appointed by directors so nominated, or
(ii) the acquisition by any individual, entity or group
(within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") (a "Person") of beneficial
ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the
Exchange Act) of a majority of the then outstanding voting securities
of the Company (the "Outstanding Company Voting Securities"); provided,
however, that the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change
of Control: (A) any acquisition by the Company, or (B) any acquisition
by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained
by the Company or any corporation controlled by the Company, or (C) any
public offering or private placement by the Company of its voting
securities; or
(iii) a consolidation of the Company with another entity or a
merger of the Company with another entity in which neither the Company
nor a corporation that, prior to the merger or consolidation, was a
subsidiary of the Company, shall be the surviving entity; or
(iv) a merger or consolidation of the Company following which
either the Company or a corporation that, prior to the merger or
consolidation, was a subsidiary of the Company, shall be the surviving
entity, but a majority of the Outstanding Company Voting Securities is
then owned by a Person or Persons who were not "beneficial owners" of a
majority of the Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior
to such merger or consolidation; or
(v) a voluntary or involuntary liquidation of the Company; or
(vi) a sale or disposition by the Company of at least 80% of
its assets in a single transaction or a series of transactions (other
than a sale or disposition of assets to a subsidiary of the Company in
a transaction not involving a Change of Control or a change in control
of such subsidiary).
Transactions in which the Executive is part of the acquiring group do
not constitute a Change of Control.
10
(e) "Disabled" Defined. As used in this Agreement, the term "disabled"
means any mental or physical condition that renders the Executive unable to
perform the essential functions of his position, with or without reasonable
accommodation, for a period in excess of 180 days.
(f) Surrender of Records and Property. Upon termination of his
employment with the Company, the Executive shall deliver promptly to the Company
all records, manuals, books, lists, blank forms, documents, letters, memoranda,
notes, notebooks, reports, data, tables, calculations or copies thereof that
relate in any way to the business, products, practices or techniques of the
Company, and all other property, trade secrets and confidential information of
the Company, including, but not limited to, all documents that in whole or in
part contain any trade secrets or confidential information of the Company, which
in any of these cases are in his possession or under his control.

(i) Executive shall receive a lump sum cash payment within ten
(10) days after the date of termination of employment in an amount

that are based upon the Executive's salary or bonus shall be made at times and
in a manner that is in accordance with the Company's standard payroll practices
for senior management.
(h) Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, the Executive
shall not be entitled to realize or receive any termination related benefits
provided for in this Section 10, including, without limitation, all
post-termination payments and the acceleration of option or restricted stock or
restricted stock unit vesting schedules unless the Executive shall have executed
and delivered to the Company a full release (reasonably satisfactory to the
Company's counsel) of all claims against the Company and its affiliates,
successors and assigns.
(i) Nothing in this Agreement or in any other plan, award or agreement
of the Company applicable to the Executive shall result in the reduction or

vesting of options to acquire common stock and/or (iii) shares of restricted
stock and/or restricted stock units under Section 11 or (iv) any other payments
or benefits (the "Total Payments") that may be deemed to be contingent upon a
change in ownership or control pursuant to Section 280G of the Internal Revenue
Code ("Code"), regardless of whether the Total Payments would be subject to the
excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code. If the Executive does become
liable for any excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, such liability shall
not entitle the Executive to any additional payments from the Company to
reimburse the Executive for such tax liability. The Company shall be entitled to
withhold from payments due to the Executive an amount equal to the actual amount
of any excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code to which the Executive is
subject, as determined by the Company's independent auditors.
14
(j) If and when during the Term, the Company shall adopt (or amend) a
severance plan generally applicable to its executive officers (other than the
Chief Executive Officer), which provides for payments and benefits upon certain
events of termination of employment in connection with a change in control of
the Company at levels that are greater than those provided herein under Section
10(f) or 10(i) (or provide in connection with a change in control of the
Company, for lump sum or otherwise more accelerated payments than those provided
for under Section 10(f)), then promptly following adoption (or amendment) of
such a plan, the Company and Executive agree to negotiate in good faith an
amendment to the provisions of Sections 10(f) or 10(i) to provide Executive with
comparable payments and benefits upon certain events of termination or otherwise
in connection with a change of control of the Company to those provided to other
senior executive officers covered by such plan with the same line of reporting
to the Chief Executive Officer as Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it
is understood that the Company may enter into individual contractual
arrangements with other executives for benefits, and nothing herein shall
require the Company to provide the same benefits or level of benefits to the
Executive.
11. Effect of Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control,
in addition to any other consequences provided for in this Agreement:
(a) all shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units awarded
to the Executive shall fully vest immediately prior to the Change of Control;
and
(b) all options to acquire shares of common stock of the Company held
by the Executive shall become fully vested immediately prior to the effective
date of the Change of Control.
The Executive shall have a reasonable opportunity to exercise all or
any portion of such options prior to the effective date of the Change of
Control, and any options not exercised prior to the effective date of the Change
of Control shall terminate as of the effective date of the Change of Control and
will be of no further force or effect. To the extent that this Section 11 is
inconsistent with the provisions of the relevant plan and granting instruments
under which such options were issued, the Company and the Executive agree that
such inconsistent provisions are hereby superceded and the provisions of this
Section 11 shall govern.
12. Miscellaneous.

and other documents referred to herein) contains the entire understanding
between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations, written or
oral, relating to the subject matter hereof.

(b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate
counterparts, each of which will be an original and all of which taken together
shall constitute one and the same agreement, and any party hereto may execute
this Agreement by signing any such counterpart.
(c) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement
shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under

legality and enforceability of the other provision of this Agreement will not be
affected or impaired thereby.
(d) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal
representatives and, to the extent permitted by subsection (e), successors and
assigns. The Company will require its successors to expressly assume its

may, without the consent of the Executive, assign its rights and obligations
under this Agreement to any corporation, firm or other business entity with or
into which the Company may merge or consolidate, or to which the Company may
sell or transfer all or substantially all of its assets, or of which 50% or more
of the equity investment and of the voting control is owned, directly or
indirectly, by, or is under common ownership with, the Company. After any such
assignment by the Company, and provided that such assignment arises by operation
of law or involves an express written assumption by the assignee, the Company
shall be immediately released and discharged from all further liability
hereunder and such assignee shall thereafter be deemed to be the Company for the

instrument in writing signed by the parties to this Agreement. No course of
dealing between the parties will modify, amend, waive or terminate any provision
of this Agreement or any rights or obligations of any party under or by reason
of this Agreement. No delay on the part of the Company in exercising any right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right. No waiver, express or
implied, by the Company of any right or any breach by the Executive shall
constitute a waiver of any other right or breach by the Executive.

Date
1987 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan
Option Terms
1. Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants Employee the right and
option (the "Option") to purchase all or any part of an aggregate of the number
of shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common
Stock") set forth above, at the price per share set forth above (the "Exercise
Price") on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan.
It is understood and agreed that the Exercise Price is the per share Fair Market
Value (as defined in the Plan) of such shares on the date of this Agreement. The
Option is not intended to be an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The
Option is issued pursuant to the Plan and is subject to its terms. A copy of the
Plan has been furnished to Employee. Employee hereby confirms he/she has
received and thoroughly read the Plan. The Company invites and encourages
Employee to contact any member of the Company's Human Resources Department with
any questions he/she may have regarding the Plan or this Agreement.
2. Expiration. The Option shall terminate at the close of business on
the termination date set forth above or earlier as is prescribed in the Plan.
Employee shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the
shares subject to the Option until such shares shall be issued to Employee upon
the proper exercise of the Option.
3. Vesting of Option Rights. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan,
the Option shall become exercisable in portions in accordance with the schedule
set forth above, provided the Employee is employed by the Company on the vesting
date in question.
4. Exercise of Option after Termination of Employment. Except as
otherwise set forth in the Plan, the Option shall terminate and may no longer be
exercised if Employee ceases to be employed by the Company or its subsidiaries.
5. Transfer and Assignment. This Option may not be transferred except
in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The terms of this Option shall be
binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors, and assigns of
the Employee.
6. Method of Exercise of Option. The Option may be exercised in whole
or in part from time to time by Employee or other proper party in accordance
with the terms of the Plan by serving written notice of exercise on the Company
at its principal office within the period during which the Option is exercisable
as provided in this Agreement. The notice shall state the number of shares as to
which the Option is being exercised and shall be accompanied by payment in full
of the Exercise Price for all shares designated in the notice. Payment of the
Exercise Price shall be made in cash (including bank check, personal check or
money order payable to the Company), or otherwise in accordance with the Plan.
This Option shall be exercised only for 100 shares of Common Stock or a multiple
thereof or for the full number of shares for which the Option is then
exercisable.
7. Forfeiture of Option and Option Gain Resulting From Certain
Activities.
2 of 4
(a) IF, AT ANY TIME THAT (I) IS WITHIN TWO (2) YEARS AFTER THE DATE
THAT EMPLOYEE HAS EXERCISED THE OPTION OR (II) IS WITHIN TWO (2) YEARS AFTER THE
DATE OF THE TERMINATION OF EMPLOYEE'S EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY FOR ANY REASON
WHATSOEVER WHILE AN OPTION AGREEMENT UNDER THE PLAN IS IN EFFECT, WHICHEVER IS
LONGER, EMPLOYEE ENGAGES IN ANY FORFEITURE ACTIVITY (AS DEFINED BELOW) THEN (I)
THE OPTION SHALL IMMEDIATELY TERMINATE EFFECTIVE AS OF THE DATE ANY SUCH
ACTIVITY FIRST OCCURRED, AND (II) ANY GAIN RECEIVED BY EMPLOYEE PURSUANT TO THE
EXERCISE OF THE OPTION GRANTED HEREUNDER MUST BE PAID TO THE COMPANY WITHIN 30
DAYS OF DEMAND BY THE COMPANY. FOR PURPOSES HEREOF, THE GAIN ON ANY EXERCISE OF
THE OPTION SHALL BE DETERMINED BY MULTIPLYING THE NUMBER OF SHARES PURCHASED
PURSUANT TO THE OPTION TIMES THE EXCESS OF THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF A SHARE OF
THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK ON THE DATE OF EXERCISE (WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY
SUBSEQUENT INCREASE OR DECREASE IN THE FAIR MARKET VALUE) OVER THE EXERCISE
PRICE.
(b) AS USED HEREIN, EMPLOYEE SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ENGAGED IN A
FORFEITURE ACTIVITY IF EMPLOYEE (I) BREACHES ANY NON-COMPETE OR NON-DISCLOSURE
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE EMPLOYEE OR (II) FAILS TO HOLD IN A
FIDUCIARY CAPACITY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMPANY ALL CONFIDENTIAL, PROPRIETARY
OR TRADE SECRET INFORMATION, KNOWLEDGE AND DATA, INCLUDING RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT INFORMATION, FINANCIAL INFORMATION, SALES OR MARKETING INFORMATION,
TECHNICAL INFORMATION CUSTOMER LISTS AND INFORMATION, BUSINESS PLANS AND
BUSINESS STRATEGY ("CONFIDENTIAL DATA") RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE BUSINESS OF
THE COMPANY FOR SO LONG AS SUCH CONFIDENTIAL DATA REMAINS CONFIDENTIAL.
(c) IF ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION SHALL DETERMINE THAT THE
FOREGOING FORFEITURE PROVISION IS INVALID IN ANY RESPECT, THE COURT SO HOLDING
MAY LIMIT SUCH COVENANT EITHER OR BOTH IN TIME, IN AREA OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER
WHICH THE COURT DETERMINES SUCH THAT THE COVENANT SHALL BE ENFORCEABLE AGAINST
EMPLOYEE. EMPLOYEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE REMEDY OF LAW FOR ANY BREACH OF THE
COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE REFERENCED ABOVE WILL BE INADEQUATE TO PROTECT THE
COMPANY'S INTERESTS AND COMPENSATE FOR THE HARM FLOWING FROM SUCH BREACH, AND
THAT THE COMPANY SHALL BE ENTITLED, IN ADDITION TO ANY REMEDY OF LAW, TO
PRELIMINARY AND PERMANENT INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.
8. Miscellaneous.
(a) In the event that any provision of this Agreement conflicts with or
is inconsistent in any respect with the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan
shall control.
(b) Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall (i) be deemed to give any
individual a right to remain an employee of the Company, (ii) restrict the right
of the Company to discharge any employee, with or without cause, or (iii) be
deemed to be a written contract of employment.
(c) The exercise of all or any parts of the Option shall only be
effective at such time that the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to such
exercise will not violate any state or federal securities or other laws. This
Option may not be exercised if the issuance of shares of Common Stock of the
Company upon such exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable
Federal or state securities or other law or valid regulation. The Employee, as a
condition to his or her exercise of this Option, shall represent to the Company
that the shares of Common Stock of the Company that he or she acquires under
this Option are being acquired by him or her for investment and not with a view
to distribution or resale, unless counsel for the Company is then of the opinion
that such a representation is not required under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act") or any other applicable law, regulation, or rule of any
governmental agency and shall, if the shares of Common Stock underlying this
Option are not registered under the Act, acknowledge that the certificate
evidencing such shares may be stamped with a restrictive legend and such shares
will be "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the
Act.
3 of 4
(d) The Company shall at all times during the term of the Option
reserve and keep available such number of shares of the Company's Common Stock
as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this agreement.
(e) In order to provide the Company with the opportunity to claim the
benefit of any income tax deduction which may be available to it upon the
exercise of the Option and in order to comply with all applicable federal or
state income tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action as it
deems appropriate to insure that, if necessary, all applicable federal or state
payroll, withholding, income or other taxes are withheld or collected from
Employee.
(f) The Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, may allow
Employee to satisfy Employee's federal and state income tax withholding
obligations upon exercise of the Option by (i) having the Company withhold a
portion of the shares of Common Stock otherwise to be delivered upon exercise of
the Option having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of federal and state
income tax required to be withheld upon such exercise, in accordance with such
rules as the Company may from time to time establish, or (ii) delivering to the
Company shares of its Common Stock other than the shares issuable upon exercise
of the Option with a Fair Market Value equal to such taxes, in accordance with
such rules.

of shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common
Stock") set forth above, at the price per share set forth above (the "Exercise
Price") on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan.
It is understood and agreed that the Exercise Price is the per share Fair Market
Value (as defined in the Plan) of such shares on the date of this Agreement. The
Option is not intended to be an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The
Option is issued pursuant to the Plan and is subject to its terms. A copy of the
Plan has been furnished to Recipient. Recipient hereby confirms he/she has
received and thoroughly read the Plan. The Company invites and encourages
Recipient to contact any member of the Company's Human Resources Department with
any questions he/she may have regarding the Plan or this Agreement.
2. Expiration. The Option shall terminate at the close of business on
the termination date set forth above or earlier as is prescribed in the Plan or
herein. Recipient shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect
to the shares subject to the Option until such shares shall be issued to
Recipient upon the proper exercise of the Option.
3. Vesting of Option Rights. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4
of this Agreement, the Option shall become exercisable in portions in accordance
with the schedule set forth above.
4. Vesting and Exercise of Option after Termination of Directorship.
Except as otherwise set forth in the Plan, the Option shall terminate and may no
longer be exercised unless Recipient has served continuously as a director of
the Company during the year preceding the date on which the Option is scheduled
to vest and become exercisable, or from the date Recipient first became a
director of the Company if Recipient joined the board of directors of the
Company during such preceding year.
5. Transfer and Assignment. This Option may not be transferred except
in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The terms of this Option shall be
binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors, and assigns of
the Recipient.
6. Method of Exercise of Option. The Option may be exercised in whole
or in part from time to time by Recipient or other proper party in accordance
with the terms of the Plan by serving written notice of exercise on the Company
at its principal office within the period during which the Option is exercisable
as provided in this Agreement. The notice shall state the number of shares as to
which the Option is being exercised and shall be accompanied by payment in full
of the Exercise Price for all shares designated in the notice. Payment of the
Exercise Price shall be made in cash (including bank check, personal check or
money order payable to the Company), or otherwise in accordance with the Plan.
This Option shall be exercised only for 100 shares of Common Stock or a multiple
thereof or for the full number of shares for which the Option is then
exercisable.
7. Miscellaneous.
(a) In the event that any provision of this Agreement conflicts with or
is inconsistent in any respect with the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan
shall control.
(b) Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall be deemed to give any
individual a right to remain a director of the Company.
(c) The exercise of all or any parts of the Option shall only be
effective at such time that the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to such
exercise will not violate any state or federal securities or other laws. This
Option may not be exercised if the issuance of shares of Common Stock of the
Company upon such exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable
Federal or state securities or other law or valid regulation. Recipient, as a
condition to his or her exercise of this Option, shall represent to the Company
that the shares of Common Stock of the Company that he or she acquires under
this Option are being acquired by him or her for investment and not with a view
to distribution or resale, unless counsel for the Company is then of the opinion
that such a representation is not required under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act") or any other applicable law, regulation, or rule of any
governmental agency and shall, if the shares of Common Stock underlying this
Option are not registered under the Act, acknowledge that the certificate
evidencing such shares may be stamped with a restrictive legend and such shares
will be "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the
Act.
(d) The Company shall at all times during the term of the Option
reserve and keep available such number of shares of the Company's Common Stock
as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this agreement.
(e) In order to provide the Company with the opportunity to claim the
benefit of any income tax deduction which may be available to it upon the
exercise of the Option and in order to comply with all applicable federal or
state income tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action as it
deems appropriate to insure that, if necessary, all applicable federal or state
payroll, withholding, income or other taxes are withheld or collected from
Recipient.
(f) The Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, may allow
Recipient to satisfy Recipient's federal and state income tax withholding
obligations upon exercise of the Option by (i) having the Company withhold a
portion of the shares of Common Stock otherwise to be delivered upon exercise of
the Option having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of federal and state
income tax required to be withheld upon such exercise, in accordance with such

ENZON PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. RECIPIENT

Name: Name:
Title:
2001 INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN
OPTION TERMS
1. Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants Recipient the right and
option (the "Option") to purchase all or any part of an aggregate of the number
of shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common
Stock") set forth above, at the price per share set forth above (the "Exercise
Price") on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan.
It is understood and agreed that the Exercise Price is the per share Fair Market
Value (as defined in the Plan) of such shares on the date of this Agreement. The
Option is not intended to be an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The
Option is issued pursuant to the Plan and is subject to its terms. A copy of the
Plan has been furnished to Recipient. Recipient hereby confirms he/she has
received and thoroughly read the Plan. The Company invites and encourages
Recipient to contact any member of the Company's Human Resources Department with
any questions he/she may have regarding the Plan or this Agreement.
2. Expiration. The Option shall terminate at the close of business on
the termination date set forth above or earlier as is prescribed herein.
Recipient shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the
shares subject to the Option until such shares shall be issued to Recipient upon
the proper exercise of the Option.
3. Vesting of Option Rights. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5
of this Agreement, the Option shall become exercisable in portions in accordance
with the schedule set forth above.
4. Exercise of Option after Termination of Employment/Directorship. The
Option shall terminate and may no longer be exercised if Recipient ceases to be
employed by the Company or its subsidiaries, or, in the case of a Director,
ceases to sit on the Company's board of directors, except that:
(a) If Recipient's employment or directorship shall be
terminated for any reason, voluntary or involuntary, other than for
"Cause" (as defined in Section 6(d) hereof) or Recipient's death or
disability (as set forth in Section 4(c) hereof), Recipient may at any
time within a period of 12 months after such termination exercise the
Option to the extent the Option was exercisable by Recipient on the
date of the termination of Recipient's employment or directorship.
(b) If Recipient's employment or directorship is terminated
for Cause (as defined in Section 6(d) hereof), the Option shall be
terminated as of the date of termination of Recipient's employment or
directorship.
(c) If Recipient shall die while the Option is still
exercisable according to its terms, or if Recipient's employment or
directorship is terminated because Recipient has become disabled
(within the meaning of Code Section 22(e)(3)) while in the employ of
the Company, or while sitting on the Company's board of directors, and
Recipient shall not have fully exercised the Option, such Option may be
exercised at any time within 12 months after the latter of Recipient's
death or date of termination of employment or directorship for
disability by Recipient, by his/her personal representatives or
administrators, or by his/her guardians, as applicable, or by any
person or persons to whom the Option is transferred by will or the
applicable laws of descent and distribution, to the extent of the full
number of shares Recipient was entitled to purchase under the Option on
the date of death or, if earlier, date of termination for such
disability.
(d) Notwithstanding the above, in no case may the Option be
exercised to any extent by anyone after the termination date of the
Option.
5. Acceleration of Exercisability Upon Change in Control.
(a) Notwithstanding any installment or delayed exercise
provision contained in this Agreement that would result in the Option
becoming exercisable in full or in part at a later date, upon the
occurrence of a "Change in Control" (as defined below) during the time
Recipient is employed by the Company, or sits on the Company's board of
directors, then all or any portion of the Option which has not vested
in accordance with the terms of Section 3 of this Agreement as of the
effective date of such Change in Control (the "Non-Vested Portion")
shall vest immediately prior to such effective date and the Option will
continue to remain exercisable in accordance with the terms herein.
(b) if the Option is continued pursuant to Section 5(a) or
10(e) hereof, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
the Option (to the extent the Continuing Directors have not elected
either of the determinations in Section 5(c) hereof) are replaced with
other equity securities, such other securities must be registered under
the Securities Act of 1933 and be freely transferable under all
applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations. In such
event, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Option shall
be determined by using the exchange ratio used for other outstanding
shares of the Company's Common Stock in connection with the Change in
Control, or if there is no such ratio, an exchange ratio to be
determined by the Continuing Directors, and the exercise price per
share shall be adjusted accordingly so as to preserve the same economic
value in the Option as existed prior to the Change in Control. Also in
the event of any such Change in Control, all references herein to the
Common Stock shall thereafter be deemed to refer to the replacement
equity securities issuable upon exercise of the Option, references to
the Company shall thereafter be deemed to refer to the issuer of such
replacement securities, and all other terms of the Option shall
continue in effect except as and to the extent modified by this Section
5(b).
(c) Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement
or in the Plan, if a Change in Control shall occur, the Continuing
Directors in their sole discretion, and without the consent of
Recipient, (i) may determine that Recipient shall receive, in lieu of
some or all of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option, as of
the effective date of any such Change in Control, cash in an amount
equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of such shares on the
effective date of such Change in Control over the Exercise Price,
subject to any applicable withholding for income or payroll taxes
and/or (ii) terminate the Option to the extent it is not exercised as
of the date of any such Change in Control (in which event, the holder
of the Option shall be provided a reasonable opportunity to exercise
all or any portion of the Option prior to the effective date of the
Change in Control).
6. Definitions. For purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the
definitions set forth below:
2
(a) "Change in Control" shall mean:
(i) the public announcement (which, for purposes of
this definition, shall include, without limitation, a report
filed pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") that any person,
entity or "group", within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or
14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act, other than the Company or any of
its subsidiaries, has become the beneficial owner (within the
meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of
35% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then
outstanding voting securities in a transaction or series of
transactions; or
(ii) the "Continuing Directors" (as defined below)
cease to constitute a majority of the Company's board of
directors; or
(iii) the shareholders of the Company approve:
(A) any consolidation or merger of the
Company in which the Company is not the continuing or
surviving corporation, other than a merger of the
Company in which shareholders of the Company
immediately prior to the merger have the same
proportionate ownership of stock of the surviving
corporation immediately after the merger; or
(B) any consolidation or merger of the
Company following which either the Company or a
corporation that, prior to the merger or
consolidation, was a subsidiary of the Company, shall
be the surviving entity and a majority of the then
outstanding voting securities of the Company (the
"Outstanding Company Voting Securities") is owned by
a Person or Persons (as defined in Section 13(d)(3)
or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended) who were not "beneficial owners" of a
majority of the Outstanding Company Voting Securities
immediately prior to such merger or consolidation;
(iv) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in
one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
(v) any plan of liquidation or dissolution of the
Company; or
(vi) the majority of the Continuing Directors
determine in their sole and absolute discretion that there has
been a change in control of the Company.
(b) "Continuing Director" shall mean any person who is a
member of the board of directors of the Company, who, while such a
person is a member of the board of directors, is not an Acquiring
Person (as hereinafter defined) or an Affiliate or Associate (as
hereinafter defined) of an Acquiring Person, or a representative of an
Acquiring Person or of any such Affiliate or Associate, and who (A) was
a member of the board of directors on the date of this Agreement or (B)
subsequently becomes a member of the board of directors, if such
person's initial nomination for election or initial election to the
board of directors is recommended or approved by a majority of the
Continuing Directors.
3
(c) "Acquiring Person" shall mean any "person" (as such term
is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) who or which,
together with all Affiliates and Associates of such person, is the
"beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the
Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
representing 35% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's
then outstanding securities, but shall not include the Company, or any
subsidiary of the Company; and "Affiliate" and "Associate" shall have
the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in Rule 12b-2
promulgated under the Exchange Act.
(d) For purposes of this Agreement, termination of employment
or directorship for "Cause" shall mean termination by the Company (or
any successor company or affiliated entity with which Recipient is then
employed or sits on the board of directors) of Recipient's employment
or directorship based upon (i) the willful and continued failure by
Recipient substantially to perform his or her duties and obligations
(other than any such failure resulting from his or her incapacity due
to physical or mental illness), (ii) the Recipient's conviction or plea
bargain in connection with the commission or alleged commission of any
felony or gross misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, fraud or
misappropriation of funds, or (iii) the willful engaging by Recipient
in misconduct which causes substantial injury to the Company (or any
successor company or affiliated entity with which Recipient is then
employed or sits on the board of directors), its employees, directors
or clients, whether monetarily or otherwise. For purposes of this
paragraph, no action or failure to act on Recipient's part shall be
considered "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by Recipient
in bad faith and without reasonable belief that his or her action or
omission was in the best interests of the Company (or any successor
company or affiliated entity with which Recipient is then employed or
sits on the board of directors).
7. Transfer and Assignment. The Option may only be transferred or
assigned in accordance with subsection 10(d) of this Agreement.
8. Method of Exercise of Option. Subject to the foregoing and the other
terms and conditions hereof, and provided that the sale of the Company's shares
pursuant to such exercise will not violate any state or federal securities or
other laws, the Option may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time by
Recipient or other proper party serving written notice of exercise on the
Company at its principal office within the period during which the Option is
exercisable as provided in this Agreement. The notice shall state the number of
shares as to which the Option is being exercised and shall be accompanied by
payment in full of the Exercise Price for all shares designated in the notice.
Payment of the Exercise Price shall be made in cash (including bank check,
personal check or money order payable to the Company), or, with the approval of
the Company (which may be given in its sole discretion), by delivering to the
Company for cancellation shares of the Company's Common Stock already owned by
Recipient having a Fair Market Value equal to the full purchase price of the
shares being acquired or a combination of cash and such shares.
9. Forfeiture of Option and Option Gain Resulting From Certain
Activities.
4
(a) IF, AT ANY TIME THAT (I) IS WITHIN TWO (2) YEARS AFTER THE
DATE THAT RECIPIENT HAS EXERCISED THE OPTION OR (II) IS WITHIN TWO (2)
YEARS AFTER THE DATE OF THE TERMINATION OF RECIPIENT'S EMPLOYMENT WITH
THE COMPANY FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER WHILE AN OPTION AGREEMENT UNDER
THE PLAN IS IN EFFECT, WHICHEVER IS LONGER, RECIPIENT ENGAGES IN ANY
FORFEITURE ACTIVITY (AS DEFINED BELOW) THEN (I) THE OPTION SHALL
IMMEDIATELY TERMINATE EFFECTIVE AS OF THE DATE ANY SUCH ACTIVITY FIRST
OCCURRED, AND (II) ANY GAIN RECEIVED BY RECIPIENT PURSUANT TO THE
EXERCISE OF THE OPTION GRANTED HEREUNDER MUST BE PAID TO THE COMPANY
WITHIN 30 DAYS OF DEMAND BY THE COMPANY. FOR PURPOSES HEREOF, THE GAIN
ON ANY EXERCISE OF THE OPTION SHALL BE DETERMINED BY MULTIPLYING THE
NUMBER OF SHARES PURCHASED PURSUANT TO THE OPTION TIMES THE EXCESS OF
THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF A SHARE OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK ON THE
DATE OF EXERCISE (WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY SUBSEQUENT INCREASE OR DECREASE
IN THE FAIR MARKET VALUE) OVER THE EXERCISE PRICE.
(b) AS USED HEREIN, RECIPIENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ENGAGED
IN A FORFEITURE ACTIVITY IF RECIPIENT (I) BREACHES ANY NON-COMPETE OR
NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE RECIPIENT OR (II)
FAILS TO HOLD IN A FIDUCIARY CAPACITY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMPANY
ALL CONFIDENTIAL, PROPRIETARY OR TRADE SECRET INFORMATION, KNOWLEDGE
AND DATA, INCLUDING RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT INFORMATION, FINANCIAL
INFORMATION, SALES OR MARKETING INFORMATION, TECHNICAL INFORMATION
CUSTOMER LISTS AND INFORMATION, BUSINESS PLANS AND BUSINESS STRATEGY
("CONFIDENTIAL DATA") RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE BUSINESS OF THE
COMPANY FOR SO LONG AS SUCH CONFIDENTIAL DATA REMAINS CONFIDENTIAL.
(c) IF ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION SHALL DETERMINE
THAT THE FOREGOING FORFEITURE PROVISION IS INVALID IN ANY RESPECT, THE
COURT SO HOLDING MAY LIMIT SUCH COVENANT EITHER OR BOTH IN TIME, IN
AREA OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER WHICH THE COURT DETERMINES SUCH THAT THE
COVENANT SHALL BE ENFORCEABLE AGAINST RECIPIENT. RECIPIENT ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT THE REMEDY OF LAW FOR ANY BREACH OF THE COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE
REFERENCED ABOVE WILL BE INADEQUATE TO PROTECT THE COMPANY'S INTERESTS
AND COMPENSATE FOR THE HARM FLOWING FROM SUCH BREACH, AND THAT THE
COMPANY SHALL BE ENTITLED, IN ADDITION TO ANY REMEDY OF LAW, TO
PRELIMINARY AND PERMANENT INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.
10. Miscellaneous.
(a) In the event that any provision of this Agreement
conflicts with or is inconsistent in any respect with the terms of the
Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.
(b) Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall (i) be deemed to
give any individual a right to remain either an employee or member of
the board of directors of the Company, (ii) restrict the right of the
Company or its shareholders to discharge any employee or member of the
board of directors, with or without cause, or (iii) be deemed to be a
written contract of employment or directorship.
(c) The exercise of all or any parts of the Option shall only
be effective at such time that the sale of shares of Common Stock
pursuant to such exercise will not violate any state or federal
securities or other laws.
5
(d) The Option shall not be transferred, except by will or the
laws of descent and distribution to the extent provided in Section
4(c), and, except for as provided in the Plan or this Agreement, during
the Recipient's lifetime the Option is exercisable only by the
Recipient. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Recipient may transfer the
Option to any Family Member, provided, however, that (i) Recipient may
not receive any consideration for such transfer, (ii) the Family Member
must agree in writing not to make any subsequent transfers of the
Option other than by will or the laws of the descent and distribution
and (iii) the Company receives prior written notice of such transfer.
For purposes of this Section 10(d), the definition of Family Member
shall be the definition adopted by the Committee administering the Plan
as of the date of the attempted transfer of the Option.
(e) If there shall be any change in the Common Stock subject
to the Option through merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization, dividend or other distribution, stock split or other
similar corporate transaction or event of the Company, appropriate
adjustments shall be made by the Company in the number and type of
shares (or other securities or other property) and the price per share
of the shares subject to the Option in order to prevent dilution or
enlargement of the Option rights granted hereunder; provided, however,
that the number of shares subject to the Option shall always be a whole
number.
(f) The Company shall at all times during the term of the
Option reserve and keep available such number of shares of the
Company's Common Stock as will be sufficient to satisfy the
requirements of this agreement.
(g) In order to provide the Company with the opportunity to
claim the benefit of any income tax deduction which may be available to
it upon the exercise of the Option and in order to comply with all
applicable federal or state income tax laws or regulations, the Company
may take such action as it deems appropriate to insure that, if
necessary, all applicable federal or state payroll, withholding, income
or other taxes are withheld or collected from Recipient.
(h) The Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, may
allow Recipient to satisfy Recipient's federal and state income tax
withholding obligations upon exercise of the Option by (i) having the
Company withhold a portion of the shares of Common Stock otherwise to
be delivered upon exercise of the Option having a Fair Market Value
equal to the amount of federal and state income tax required to be
withheld upon such exercise, in accordance with such rules as the
Company may from time to time establish, or (ii) delivering to the
Company shares of its Common Stock other than the shares issuable upon
exercise of the Option with a Fair Market Value equal to such taxes, in
accordance with such rules.
