the time filed, or in the case of registration statements, at their

is no action, suit or proceeding before or by any court or
governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, now pending or, to
the knowledge of CGPI, threatened, against or affecting CGPI, or any
of its properties, which could reasonably be expected, individually
or in the aggregate, (i) to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) to
result in the issuance of an order restraining, enjoining or
otherwise prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of any of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
2.7. NO DEFAULT. Except as disclosed in CGPI's filings with the SEC, CGPI

instrument to which it is a party or by which it or its property may
be bound and which is filed as an exhibit to CGPI's 1934 Act reports,
except for defaults that have not had and would not reasonably be
expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material
Adverse Effect.
2.8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS; UNDISCLOSED LIABILITIES. Since June 30, 2001,

otherwise, that taken as a whole, is material in the aggregate to
CGPI, except (i) in the ordinary course of business consistent with
past practices, or (ii) as reflected in or reserved against in the
balance sheet of CGPI as of June 30, 2001. Since June 30, 2001, CGPI
has conducted its business in the ordinary course of business
consistent with past practices, and there has not been any Material
Adverse Effect and there is no condition existing that could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on the
business of CGPI.
2.9. CONSENTS AND APPROVALS. No material consent, approval, qualification,
order or authorization of, or filing with, any local, state or
federal governmental authority or any third party, including any
approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of

(ii) conflict with or result in a breach of the terms and conditions
of, or constitute any default under, CGPI's Certificate of
Incorporation or By-laws, or any contract, agreement or instrument to
which CGPI or any subsidiary is a party or by which CGPI or any
Subsidiary or any of their respective property if bound, except, in
each case, for violations, conflicts or breaches which individually
or in the aggregate would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
2.12. INSURANCE. CGPI has in full force and effect fire and casualty,
general liability and product liability insurance policies, with
extended coverage, in amounts customary for companies similarly
situated to CGPI.
3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF INVESTOR. Investor hereby represents and
warrants to CGPI that:
3.1. ORGANIZATION AND EXISTENCE. Investor is a corporation duly
incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry
on its business as now conducted.
3.2. CORPORATE AUTHORIZATION. Investor has full corporate power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and perform its
obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by
Investor of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all requisite
corporate action. This Agreement, assuming due authorization,
execution and delivery by CGPI, constitutes the valid and legally
binding obligation of Investor, enforceable against Investor in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited
by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally
or by equitable principles relating to enforceability (regardless of
whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).
3.3. PURCHASE ENTIRELY FOR OWN ACCOUNT. Investor is sophisticated in
transactions of this type and capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of the transactions described herein, and has the capacity to
protect its own interests. Investor has not been formed solely for
the purpose of entering into the transactions described herein. The
Shares to be received by Investor will be acquired for investment for
Investor's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a
view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that
Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any
participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing
this Agreement, Investor further represents that Investor does not
have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any
person to sell,
5
transfer or grant participation to such person or to any third
person, with respect to any of the Shares.
3.4. RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Investor understands that the shares of Common
Stock it is purchasing are characterized as "restricted securities"
under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired
from CGPI in a transaction not involving a public offering and that
under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be
resold without registration under the 1933 Act only under certain
limited circumstances. Investor represents that it is familiar with
SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale
limitations imposed thereby and by the 1933 Act.
Investor agrees that it shall not sell or otherwise transfer any of
the Shares without registration under the 1933 Act, or pursuant to
Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, or pursuant to an opinion of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to CGPI that an exemption from registration
is available, and fully understands and agrees that it must bear the
total conomic risk of its purchase for an indefinite period of time
because of the restricted nature of the Shares. Investor understands
that CGPI is under no obligation to register the Shares on its
behalf. Investor understands the lack of liquidity and restrictions
on transfer of the Shares and that this investment is suitable only
for a person or entity of adequate financial means that has no need
for liquidity of this investment and that can afford a total loss of
its investment.
3.5. LEGENDS. Investor acknowledges that the certificates evidencing the
Shares shall bear the following or substantially similar legend and
such other legends as may be required by state or other applicable
securities laws:
"THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
"ACT"), OR THE SECURITIES ACT OF ANY STATE. THE SHARES MAY NOT BE
SOLD, TRANSFERRED FOR VALUE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE
ENCUMBERED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION OF THEM
UNDER THE ACT AND/OR THE SECURITIES ACT OF ANY STATE OR IN THE
ABSENCE OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO CGPI THAT SUCH
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACT OR ACTS."
"Until the Separation Time (as defined in the Rights Agreement
referred to below), this certificate also evidences and entitles
the holder hereof to certain Rights as set forth in a Shareholder
Protection Rights Agreement, dated as of September 15, 1997 (as
such may be amended from time to time, the "Rights Agreement"),
between CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company") and
American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as Rights Agent, the
terms of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference and a
copy of which is on file at the principal executive offices of
the Company. Under certain circumstances, as set forth in the
Rights
6
Agreement, such Rights may be redeemed, may become exercisable
for securities or assets of the Company or securities of another
entity, may be exchanged for shares of Common Stock or other
securities or assets of the Company, may expire, may become void
(if they are "Beneficially Owned" by an "Acquiring Person" or an
Affiliate or Associate thereof, as such terms are defined in the
Rights Agreement, or by any transferee of any of the foregoing)
or may be evidenced by separate certificates and may no longer be
evidenced by this certificate. The Company will mail or arrange
for the mailing of a copy of the Rights Agreement to the holder
of this certificate without charge after the receipt of a written
request therefor."
3.6. REMOVAL OF LEGENDS
(a) The first legend endorsed on a certificate pursuant to Section
3.5 shall be removed (i) if the shares of Common Stock
represented by such certificate shall have been resold under an
effective registration statement under the 1933 Act or otherwise
lawfully sold in a public transaction, (ii) if such shares are
transferred in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated under the
1933 Act, or (iii) if the holder of such shares shall have
provided CGPI with an opinion of counsel, in form and substance
acceptable to CGPI and its counsel, stating that a public sale,
transfer or assignment of such shares may be made without
registration.
(b) Any legend endorsed on a certificate as required by state
securities laws pursuant to Section 3.5 shall be removed if CGPI
receives an order of the appropriate state authority authorizing
such removal or if the holder of such shares provides CGPI with
an opinion of counsel, in form and substance acceptable to CGPI
and its counsel, stating that such state legend may be removed.
3.7. ACCREDITED INVESTOR. Investor is an "accredited investor" (as defined
in Rule 501(a) under the 1933 Act) and has the financial ability to
bear the economic risks of its investment, has adequate means for
providing for its current needs and contingencies and has no need for
liquidity with respect to its investment in CGPI.
3.8. CONSENTS AND APPROVALS. Except for Schedule 13D or 13G under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, no material consent, approval,
qualification, order or authorization of, or filing with, any local,
state or federal governmental authority or any third party, including
any approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act
of 1976, as amended, is required on the part of the Investor in
connection with the Investor's valid execution, delivery or
performance of this Agreement.
3.9. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, ETC. There is no legal, administrative,
arbitration or other action or proceeding or governmental
investigations pending, or to the Investor's knowledge threatened
against the Investor which could reasonably be expected to
7
result in the issuance of an order restraining, enjoining or
otherwise prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of any of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
3.10. AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS. Investor has or will have available at
Closing, sufficient funds to pay the Purchase Price for the Shares.
4. COVENANT RELATING TO RULE 144. CGPI will file reports in compliance with
the 1934 Act, will comply with all rules and regulations of the Commission
applicable in connection with the use of Rule 144 and take such other
actions and furnish the Investor with such other information as the
Investor may request in order to avail itself of such rule or any other
rule or regulation of the Commission allowing Investor to sell the Shares
without registration, and will, at its own expense, upon the request of the
Investor, deliver to the Investor a certificate, signed by CGPI's principal
financial officer, stating (a) CGPI's name, address and telephone number
(including area code), (b) CGPI's Internal Revenue Service identification
number, (c) CGPI's Commission file number, (d) the number of shares of each
class of stock outstanding as shown by the most recent report or statement
published by CGPI, and (e) whether CGPI has filed the reports required to
be filed under the 1934 Act for a period of at least ninety (90) days prior
to the date of such certificate and in addition has filed the most recent
annual report required to be filed thereunder. If at any time CGPI is not
required to file reports in compliance with either Section 13 or Section
15(d) of the 1934 Act, CGPI at its expense will, upon the written request
of the Investor, make available adequate current public information with
respect to CGPI within the meaning of paragraph (c)(2) of Rule 144. The
covenants set forth in this Section 4 shall survive the Closing.
5. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
5.1. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. If (but without any obligation to do so) CGPI
proposes to register any of its stock or other securities under the
1933 Act in connection with an underwritten public offering of such
securities (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of
securities to participants in a CGPI stock plan, a registration
relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction under
Rule 145 of the 1933 Act, a registration on any form that does not
include substantially the same information as would be required to be
included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Shares,
a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are
also being registered, or Common Stock issued or to be issued
pursuant to an equity line financing), CGPI shall, at such time,
promptly give Atrix written notice of such registration. Upon the
written request of Atrix given within twenty (20) days after mailing
of such notice by CGPI, CGPI shall, subject to the provisions of
Section 5.2 and Section 5.6 hereof, use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause to be registered under the 1933 Act all of the
Shares that Atrix has requested to be registered.
5.2. RIGHT TO TERMINATE REGISTRATION. CGPI shall have the right to
terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under Section
5.1 prior to the
8
effectiveness of such registration whether or not Atrix has elected
to include securities in such registration. The expenses of such
withdrawn registration shall be borne by CGPI.
5.3. ATRIX TO PROVIDE INFORMATION. It shall be a condition precedent to
the obligations of CGPI to take any action pursuant to this Section 5
with respect to the registration of the Shares that Atrix furnish to
CGPI such information regarding itself, the Shares, and the intended
method of distribution of such Shares as shall be reasonably required
to effect the registration of such Shares.
5.4. PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. All expenses other than underwriting discounts
and commissions incurred in connection with registrations, filings or
qualifications pursuant to this Section 5, including, without
limitation, all registration, filing and qualification fees
(including "blue sky" fees), printers' and accounting fees, fees and
disbursements of counsel for CGPI shall be borne by CGPI.
5.5. ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS. In the event of an underwritten public
offering, the right of the Investor to registration pursuant to this
Section 5 is conditioned upon such Investor's participation in such
underwriting, the inclusion of such securities in the underwriting to
the extent provided herein and Investor entering into an underwriting
agreement with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such
underwriting by the Company (together with the Company and the other
holders distributing their securities through such underwriting), and
such other documents, agreements and certificates as shall be deemed
necessary by the underwriter in connection with such public offering.
5.6. REGISTRATION PRIORITY. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 5, if the underwriter advises the Company in writing that in
its good faith judgment the number of shares requested to be
registered exceeds the number of shares which can be sold in such
offering: (a) the number of shares so requested to be included in the
offering will be reduced to that number of shares which in the good
faith judgment of the underwriter can be sold in such offering and
(b) such reduced number of shares will be allocated first to the
securities CGPI proposes to sell; second to those CGPI stockholders
having registration rights pursuant to the terms of that certain
Registration Rights Agreement dated September 29, 1995 and that
certain Stockholders and Registration Rights Agreement dated March
19, 1999 in accordance with the terms of each such agreement; third,
to those CGPI stockholders having registration rights pursuant to the
terms of those certain Registration Rights Agreements dated March 12,
2001 in accordance with the terms of each such agreement; and fourth,
to Atrix, with respect to the Shares.
5.7. TERMINATION OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Atrix shall not be entitled to
exercise any right provided for in this Section 5 at such time as all
of the Shares can be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the 1933 Act.
