respects with all applicable requirements of the 1933 Act and
the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder. None of such filings, including, without
limitation, any exhibits, financial statements or schedules
included therein, at the time filed, or in the case of
registration statements, at their respective filing dates,
contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or

2.6. Litigation. Except as disclosed in CGPI's filings with the
SEC, there 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 is not in default in the performance or observance
of any material obligation, agreement, covenant or condition
contained in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other
material agreement or 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, CGPI has not incurred any liability or obligation,
contingent or 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 1976, as amended, is required on
the part of CGPI in connection with CGPI's valid execution,
delivery or performance of this Agreement, or the offer, sale
or issuance of the Shares by CGPI, other than the filings that
have been made prior to the Closing, except that any notices
of sale required to be filed by CGPI with the SEC under
Regulation D of the 1933 Act and filings required by the rules
of the Nasdaq National Market, or such post-closing filings as
may be required under applicable state securities laws, which
will be timely filed within the applicable periods therefor.
2.10. Compliance with Laws and Court Orders. CGPI is not in
violation of any applicable law, rule, regulation, judgment,
injunction, order or decree except for violations that have
not had and would not reasonably be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
4
2.11. No Conflict. Except for rights to anti-dilution protection for
holders of CGPI's Series D Preferred Stock, the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and CGPI's performance of its
obligations under this Agreement will not (i) violate any
applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation of any
governmental authority or (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, transfer or grant
participation to such person or to any third person, with
respect to any of the Shares.
5
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 economic
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 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
6
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 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.
7
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 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.
8
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.
