per share, of the Company to be outstanding after giving effect to the sales contemplated hereby
are hereinafter referred to as the Common Stock.
The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) a
registration statement, including a prospectus on Form S-3 (the file number of which is set forth
in Schedule I hereto), relating to the securities (the Shelf Securities), including the Shares,
to be issued from time to time by the Company. The registration statement as amended to the date
of this Agreement, including the information (if any) deemed to be part of the registration
statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A or Rule 430B under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), is hereinafter referred to as the Registration
Statement, and the related prospectus covering the Shelf Securities dated February 10, 2005 in the
form first used to confirm sales of the Shares (or in the form first made available to the
Underwriter by the Company to meet requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities
Act) is hereinafter referred to as the Basic Prospectus. The Basic Prospectus, as supplemented
by the prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Shares in the form first used to confirm
sales of the Shares (or in the form first made available to the Underwriter by the Company to meet
requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) is hereinafter referred to as
the Prospectus, and the term preliminary prospectus means any preliminary form of the
Prospectus. For purposes of this Agreement, free writing prospectus has the meaning set forth in
Rule 405 under the Securities Act, Time of Sale Prospectus means the Basic Prospectus together
with the final term sheet identified in Schedule I hereto, and broadly available road show means
a bona fide electronic road show as defined in Rule 433(h)(5) under the Securities Act that has

Statement, Basic Prospectus, preliminary prospectus, Time of Sale Prospectus and
Prospectus shall include the documents, if any, incorporated by reference therein. The terms
supplement, amendment, and amend as used herein with respect to the Registration Statement,
the Basic Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any
preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus, if any, shall include all documents
subsequently filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein.

therein not misleading, (iii) the Registration Statement as of the date hereof does not contain any

thereunder, (v) the Time of Sale Prospectus does not, and at the time of each sale of the Shares in
connection with the offering when the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers and
at the Closing Date (as defined in Section 4), the Time of Sale Prospectus, as then amended or
supplemented by the Company, if applicable, will not, contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (vi) each broadly available road show,

statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (vii) the
Prospectus does not contain and, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will not contain any

statements or omissions in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the
Prospectus based upon information relating to
2
the Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter expressly for use
therein.
(c) Free Writing Prospectuses. The Company is not an ineligible issuer in connection with
the offering pursuant to Rules 164, 405 and 433 under the Securities Act. Any free writing
prospectus that the Company is required to file pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act

(the 1933 Act Regulations).

3
said financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting

business (a Material Adverse Effect), (B) there have been no transactions entered into by the

and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in
the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus and to enter into and perform its obligations under
this Agreement; and the Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and
is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason
of ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure so to
qualify or be in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(i) Subsidiaries. The Company has no subsidiaries.
(j) Capitalization. The authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company is as

Agreement, pursuant to reservations, agreements or employee benefit plans referred to in the Time
of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus or pursuant to the exercise of convertible securities or
options referred to in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus). The shares of issued and

pursuant to this Agreement and, when issued and delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement
against payment of the consideration set forth herein, will be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable; the Common Stock conforms to all statements relating thereto contained in the Time

reason of being such a holder; and the issuance of the Shares are not subject to the preemptive or
other similar rights of any securityholder of the Company.
(m) Absence of Defaults and Conflicts. The Company is not in violation of its charter or
by-laws or in default in the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or
condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement,
note, lease or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it may be
bound, or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject (collectively,
Agreements and Instruments) except for such defaults that would not result in a Material Adverse
Effect; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the
consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated herein and in the Prospectus
(including the issuance and sale of the Shares and the use of the proceeds from the sale of the
Shares as described in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus under the caption Use of
Proceeds) and compliance by the Company with its obligations hereunder have been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate action and do not and will not, whether with or without the giving of
notice or passage of time or both, conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default or Repayment
Event (as defined below) under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or
encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company pursuant to, the Agreements and Instruments
(except for such conflicts, breaches or defaults or liens, charges or encumbrances that would not
result in a Material Adverse Effect), nor will such action result in any violation of the
provisions of the charter or by-laws of the Company, or any applicable law, statute, rule,
regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree of any government, government instrumentality or court,
domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its assets, properties or
operations except for any such violation that could not be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. As used herein, a Repayment
5
Event means any event or condition which gives the holder of any note, debenture or other
evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holders behalf) the right to require the
repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by the Company.
(n) Absence of Labor Dispute. No labor dispute with the employees of the Company exists or,
to the knowledge of the Company, is imminent, and the Company is not aware of any existing or
imminent labor disturbance by the employees of any of its principal suppliers, manufacturers,
customers or contractors, which, in either case, may reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.
(o) Absence of Proceedings. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation
before or brought by any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, now pending,
or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, against or affecting the Company, which is
required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the
Prospectus (other than as disclosed therein), or which might reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect, or which might reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect
the properties or assets thereof or the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this
Agreement or the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder; the aggregate of all
pending legal or governmental proceedings to which the Company is a party or of which any of its
property or assets is the subject which are not described in the Registration Statement, the Time
of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus including ordinary routine litigation incidental to the
business, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(p) Accuracy of Exhibits. There are no contracts or documents which are required to be
described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus or the
documents incorporated by reference therein or to be filed as exhibits thereto which have not been
so described and filed as required.

efforts to acquire on reasonable terms, adequate patents, patent rights, licenses, inventions,

or confidential information, systems or procedures), trademarks, service marks, trade names or
other intellectual property (collectively, Intellectual Property) necessary to carry on the
business now operated by them. Except as disclosed in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the
Prospectus, (i) there is no litigation or other proceeding pending or, to the Companys knowledge,
threatened and no claims are presently being asserted by any third party challenging or questioning
the ownership, validity, enforceability of the Companys right to use or own any Intellectual
Property or asserting that the use of any Intellectual Property by the Company or
6
the operation of the business of the Company infringes upon or misappropriates the
Intellectual Property of any third party, other than infringements which would not be reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) the Company is not otherwise aware of any
infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any Intellectual
Property or of any facts or circumstances which would render any Intellectual Property invalid or
inadequate to protect the interest of the Company therein, and which infringement or conflict (if
the subject of any unfavorable decision, ruling or finding) or invalidity or inadequacy, singly or
in the aggregate, would result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(r) Absence of Further Requirements. No filing with, or authorization, approval, consent,
license, order, registration, qualification or decree of, any court or governmental authority or
agency is necessary or required for the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder, in
connection with the offering, issuance or sale of the Shares hereunder or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except such as have been already obtained or as may be
required under the Securities Act or state securities laws.
(s) Possession of Licenses and Permits. The Company possesses such permits, licenses,
approvals, consents and other authorizations (collectively, Governmental Licenses) issued by the
appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct the
business now operated by them; the Company is in compliance with the terms and conditions of all
such Governmental Licenses, except where the failure so to comply would not, singly or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; all of the Governmental Licenses are valid and in full
force and effect, except when the invalidity of such Governmental Licenses or the failure of such
Governmental Licenses to be in full force and effect would not have a Material Adverse Effect; and
the Company has not received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification
of any such Governmental Licenses which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an
unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(t) Title to Property. The Company has good and marketable title to all real property owned
by the Company and good title to all other properties owned by it, in each case, free and clear of
all mortgages, pledges, liens, security interests, claims, restrictions or encumbrances of any kind
except such as (a) are described in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus or (b) do not,
singly or in the aggregate, materially affect the value of such property and do not interfere with
the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company; and all of the leases and
subleases material to the business of the Company considered as one enterprise, and under which the
Company holds properties described in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, are in full
force and effect, and the Company has no notice of any material claim of any sort that has been
asserted by anyone adverse to the rights of the Company any of the leases or subleases mentioned
above, or affecting or questioning the rights of the
7
Company to the continued possession of the leased or subleased premises under any such lease
or sublease.
(u) Environmental Laws. Except as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale
Prospectus and the Prospectus and except as would not, singly or in the aggregate, result in a
Material Adverse Effect, (A) the Company is not in violation of any federal, state, local or
foreign statute, law, rule, regulation, ordinance, code, policy or rule of common law or any
judicial or administrative interpretation thereof, including any judicial or administrative order,
consent, decree or judgment, relating to pollution or protection of human health, the environment
(including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface
strata) or wildlife, including, without limitation, laws and regulations relating to the release or
threatened release of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, wastes, toxic substances, hazardous

the Company and (D) there are no events or circumstances that might reasonably be expected to form
the basis of an order for clean-up or remediation, or an action, suit or proceeding by any private
party or governmental body.
(v) Investment Company Act. The Company is not, and upon the issuance and sale of the Shares
as herein contemplated and the application of the net proceeds therefrom as described in the Time

Prospectus and the Prospectus disclose the Company to have developed, to be developing or to
propose to develop or use or propose to use which, if the subject of an action unfavorable to the
Company, would have a Material Adverse Effect.

expense, to the Underwriter and to the dealers (whose names and addresses you will furnish to the

dealers upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Prospectus so that the statements in
the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the

delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will
comply with applicable law.

the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be
settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise or (3) file any
registration statement with the Commission relating to the offering of any shares of Common Stock
or any securities convertible into or exercisable or
13
exchangeable for Common Stock. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (a) the Shares to be
sold hereunder, (b) the issuance by the Company of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of an
option or warrant or the conversion of a security outstanding on the
date hereof of which the Underwriter has been advised in writing or
which is described in the Time of Sale Prospectus, (c)
the issuance of any shares of Common Stock in connection with acquisition, licensing, collaboration
or similar strategic arrangements, provided that the Company first causes any such recipient of
shares under this clause (c) to execute and deliver to you a lock-up agreement substantially in
the form of Exhibit A, (d) the issuance of shares of Common Stock as matching
contributions under the Companys 401(k) plan or (e) the grant

substantially in the form of Exhibit A delivered pursuant to Section 5(f).
7. Covenants of the Underwriter. The Underwriter covenants with the Company not to take any
action that would result in the Company being required to file with the Commission under Rule
433(d) a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that otherwise would
not be required to be filed by the Company thereunder, but for the action of the Underwriter.
8. Indemnity and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Underwriter, each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of either Section
15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each affiliate of the Underwriter
within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses,
claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused
by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale
Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act,
any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d)
under the Securities Act, or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or caused by
any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
statement or omission based upon information relating to the Underwriter furnished to the Company
in writing by the Underwriter expressly for use therein.
(b) The Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its
officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to
the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Underwriter, but only with
14
reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by
such Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the
Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereto.
(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted
involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b),
such person (the indemnified party) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity
may be sought (the indemnifying party) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the
indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to
represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such
proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In
any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such
counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include
both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the
same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them.
It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any
indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same
jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to
any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be
reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Underwriter, in
the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company, in the case of
parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any
settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent
or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the
indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an
indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as
contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees
that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent
if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party
of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified
party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party
shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any
pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a
party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless
15
such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability
on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is unavailable to
an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying
such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the
Underwriter on the other hand from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by
clause 8(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 8(d)(i) above but also the relative
fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriter on the other hand in connection with
the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on
the one hand and the Underwriter on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Shares
shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as (i) the total net proceeds from the
offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and (ii) the total
underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter bear to the aggregate public
offering price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the
Underwriter on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state
a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriter and the
parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission.
(e) The Company and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just or equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other
method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in
Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to
the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, the Underwriter shall not be required to provide
indemnity for or contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which
the Shares underwritten by it are sold to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such
Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall
16
be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not
limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in
equity.
(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the
representations, warranties and other statements of the Company contained in this Agreement shall
remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement,
(ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriter, any person controlling the
Underwriter or any affiliate of the Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or
directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the
Shares.
9. Termination. The Underwriter may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the
Company if, after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i)
trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be,
any of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Market, the
Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade,
(ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any
over-the-counter market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance
services in the United States shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking
activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities or (v) there shall
have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any
calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together
with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or
inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the
manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.
10. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery
hereof by the parties hereto.
If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriter because of any failure or refusal on
the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this
Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this
Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriter for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the
fees and disbursements of its counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriter in connection with
this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.
11. Entire Agreement. (a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written
agreements and any prior written agreements (to the
17
extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Shares, represents
the entire agreement between the Company and the Underwriter with respect to the preparation of any
preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering,
and the purchase and sale of the Shares.
(b) The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Shares: (i) the
Underwriter has acted at arms length, is not an agent of, and owes no fiduciary duties to, the
Company or any other person, (ii) the Underwriter owes the Company only those duties and
obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded
by this Agreement), if any, and (iii) the Underwriter may have interests that differ from those of
the Company. The Company waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may
have against the Underwriter arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with
the offering of the Shares.
12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which
shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the
same instrument.
13. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
internal laws of the State of New York.
14. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for
convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.
18
15. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and effective only upon receipt
and if to the Underwriter shall be delivered, mailed or sent to you at the address set forth in
Schedule I hereto; and if to the Company shall be delivered, mailed or sent to the address set
forth in Schedule I hereto.

November 13, 2006
Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated
1585 Broadway
New York, NY 10036
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned understands that Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated
(Morgan Stanley) proposes to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the
Underwriting Agreement) with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a New York
corporation (the Company), providing for the public offering (the Public
Offering) by Morgan Stanley as underwriter (the Underwriter) of 7,600,000
shares (the Shares) of the common Stock ($0.001 par value per share) of the
Company (the Common Stock).
To induce the Underwriter to continue its efforts in connection with the
Public Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written
consent of Morgan Stanley, it will not, during the period commencing on the
date hereof and ending on the earlier to occur of (a) 90 days after the date of
the final prospectus supplement relating to the Public Offering, and (b) 5 days
after the date of such final prospectus supplement if the sale of the Shares to
the Underwriter has not closed, (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell
any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell,
grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or
dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any
securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or
(2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in
whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common
Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to
be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or
otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (a) transactions relating
to shares of Common Stock or other securities acquired in open market
transactions after the completion of the Public Offering; (b) transfers of
shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock as a bona
fide gift; (c) distributions or transfers to family members, trusts, and/or
controlled entities in connection with estate planning, provided that each
transferee shall sign and deliver a lock-up letter substantially in the form of
this letter; (d) the sale of Common Stock in the public market pursuant to a
written trading plan in existence prior to the date hereof designed to comply
with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; (e) the
exercise of a stock option for, or the conversion of any convertible security
into, shares of common stock, including, without limitation, by transferring or
submitting for cancellation aged shares or shares otherwise issued or issuable
upon the exercise
A-1

option under the Companys long-term incentive plans (or to satisfy the minimum
withholding tax required in connection with such option exercise); or (f) the
sale of such number of shares of Common Stock as to which written authorization
shall have been provided in advance by the Company using its standard internal
form, with the understanding that the aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock sold pursuant to this clause (f), combined with the aggregate number
shares of Common Stock sold pursuant to the parallel clause (f) contained in
all other lock-up agreements executed by officers and directors of the Company
in connection with this Public Offering, shall not exceed 250,000 shares. In
addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of
Morgan Stanley, it will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof
and ending 90 days after the date of the final prospectus supplement, make any
demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any
shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for Common Stock. The undersigned agrees and consents to the
entry of stop transfer instructions with the Companys transfer agent and
registrar against the transfer of the undersigneds shares of Common Stock
except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.
The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriter are
relying upon this agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Public
Offering. The undersigned further understands that this agreement is
irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigneds heirs, legal
representatives, successors and assigns.
(continued on next page)
Whether or not the Public Offering actually occurs depends on a number of
factors, including market conditions. Any Public Offering will only be made
pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to
negotiation between the Company and the Underwriter.
