ITEM 1.

BUSINESS.

 

Mentor Corporation was incorporated in Minnesota in 1969.  Our fiscal year ends on March 31, and references to fiscal 2006, fiscal 2005 or fiscal 2004 refer to the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 or 2004, respectively.

 

General

 

We develop, manufacture and market a range of products serving the aesthetic medicine market, including plastic and reconstructive surgery.  Aesthetic surgery products include surgically implantable prostheses for plastic and reconstructive surgery, capital equipment and consumables used for soft tissue aspiration or body contouring (liposuction), and facial aesthetics products.

Historically we have had three reportable segments: aesthetic and general surgery, surgical urology, and clinical and consumer healthcare.  In October 2005, we announced a strategy to increase our focus on aesthetic medicine, and as a result we pursued strategic alternatives for our surgical urology and clinical and consumer healthcare businesses.  On March 27, 2006, we announced that we received a binding offer from Coloplast A/S ("Coloplast") regarding the sale of these businesses.  On May 17, 2006, we entered into a definitive purchase agreement for the sale of our surgical urology and clinical and consumer healthcare business segments (collectively, the "Urology Business") to Coloplast for total consideration of $463,225,000, of which $456,137,500 would be in cash and $7,087,500 in non-cash consideration, and on June 2, 2006 we completed this sale to Coloplast. 

 

In connection with the sale, we have entered into a Transition Services Agreement ("TSA") and various supply agreements.  Pursuant to the TSA, we will provide to Coloplast, and Coloplast will provide to us, services including accounting, regulatory, clinical, information technology, customer support, and use of facilities in exchange for specified fees.  Under the supply agreements we will supply various products, including silicone gel-filled testicular implants to Coloplast, and Coloplast will supply to us various components for the manufacture of our breast implants.  It is anticipated that services provided under the TSA will continue for a period of up to twelve months, and the supply agreements range from a period of 6-36 months.  As a result of the sale, the operations of our surgical urology and clinical and consumer healthcare segments have been classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated balances sheets, consolidated statements of income, consolidated statement of cash flows and the notes to the consolidated financial statements included herein for all periods presented.  The following information relates to our continuing operations in the aesthetic medicine business and does not discuss (other than briefly) the business of our discontinued segments.  For further discussion related to discontinued operations, see "Item 7, Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Note T of the notes to consolidated financial statements of this Form 10-K.  

 

Recent Events

On April 3, 2006, we submitted a pre-market approval application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for our Contour Profile® silicone gel-filled breast implant products ("CPG").  The FDA has initiated its review of our application with the exception of our clinical module, which based on discussions with FDA will require additional information, and we are in the process of collecting that information.   

On March 20, 2006, we signed a non-binding letter of intent with Niadyne, Inc. to distribute Niadyne's innovative NIA 24 line of science-based cosmeceutical products used to improve and restore the healthy appearance of the skin.  We believe that these cosmeceutical products will complement our facial aesthetics business. 

On February 6, 2006, we announced that, with respect to our Puragen Plus™ program in the U.S., we had identified potential issues that required further evaluation of our clinical study data and would result in a delay to our PMA submission timeline.  We performed this evaluation, and we concurrently reviewed some of our critical production processes.  Based on the results of this evaluation we have developed a plan to move forward with our Puragen Plus™ PMA process, and are targeting to submit the first module to FDA in late summer or early fall this year, and to complete the submission in the spring of 2007.

On July 28, 2005, we received an "approvable letter" with conditions from the FDA on our pre-market approval application for our MemoryGelround silicone gel-filled breast implants.  The approvable letter stipulates a number of conditions which we must satisfy in order to receive FDA approval to market and sell silicone gel-filled breast implants in the United States.  These conditions were generally consistent with those conditions that the advisory panel, composed of outside experts selected by the FDA, had recommended in their April 2005 review of our PMA application.  We remain in discussion with the FDA regarding the conditions for approval of our MemoryGel breast implant pre-market approval application, including discussions regarding post-market patient monitoring and data collection.  We expect to incur additional expenses in connection with such post-market patient monitoring and data collection, which could be substantial.  In addition, we cannot guarantee that the FDA will provide final approval, nor can we determine when the FDA's decision regarding approval will be made.

We develop, produce, and market a broad line of breast implants, including saline-filled implants and silicone gel-filled (MemoryGel™) implants.  Our breast implants consist of a silicone elastomer shell that is either filled during surgery with a saline solution or pre-filled during the manufacturing process with silicone gel.  Our MemoryGel™ products come in varying degrees of cohesiveness.  Additionally, all of our implants have either a smooth or textured surface and are provided in a variety of sizes and shapes to meet the varying preferences of patients and surgeons.   

 

Mammary prostheses have applications in both cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery procedures.  These prostheses are used in augmentation procedures to enhance breast size and shape, correct breast asymmetries and help restore fullness after breast feeding.  During reconstruction procedures, mammary prostheses are utilized as a surgical solution to create a breast mound following a mastectomy.  Breast reconstruction is a surgical option for many women following a mastectomy, either at the time of surgery or a later date.

 

We carry a full line of breast reconstruction products including the Contour Profile Tissue Expander (CPX®) family of breast expanders.  These expansion products, used in the first-stage of a two-stage breast reconstruction, create a pocket that will ultimately hold the breast implant that is placed in a subsequent second-stage operation.  All of the CPX devices utilize our proprietary BufferZone self-sealing technology and Centerscope injection port locators.  We also are the industry leader for single-stage breast reconstruction procedures, with our line of smooth and textured Becker implants, which are designed to be used as both an expander and a permanent implant.

 

We offer a line of extremity tissue expanders.  Extremity tissue expansion involves the process of growing additional tissue for reconstruction and skin graft procedures.  Some of the major applications of extremity tissue expansion include the correction of disfigurements such as burns, large scars and congenital deformities.

 

With respect to body contouring, we market through our subsidiary, Byron Medical, Inc., a complete line of liposuction products and disposable supplies. 

 

In fiscal 2005, we established two new business lines in the aesthetics arena, which we categorize under "other aesthtics": Mentor Solutions and Facial Aesthetics.  We had previously acquired a company called Inform Solutions and during fiscal 2005 combined it into a new business called Mentor Solutions.  The Mentor Solutions group offers software, consulting and business management tools to help plastic surgeons grow their business.

In the Facial Aesthetics area, we launched our new dermal filler product, Puragen™, in a variety of international markets in May 2005 and have received additional international approvals throughout 2005.  Puragen™ is our proprietary non-animal based, hyaluronic acid dermal filler.  In February 2006, we announced that, with respect to our Puragen Plus™ program in the U.S., we had identified potential issues that required further evaluation of our clinical study data and would result in a delay to our PMA submission timeline.  We performed this evaluation, and we concurrently reviewed some of our critical production processes.  Based on the results of this evaluation we have developed a plan to move forward with our Puragen Plus™ PMA process, and are targeting to submit the first module to FDA in late summer or early fall this year, and to complete the submission in the spring of 2007.

 

We are developing a next-generation botulinum toxin type A product based on proprietary technology that yields a formulation designed to be purer than other commercially available botulinum toxin products.  During fiscal 2005, we initiated the United States phase 1 dose escalation study for cosmetic indications and during fiscal 2006 we initiated the United States phase 2 dose-finding study for cosmetic indications, and all patients in the Phase 2 study have been enrolled.  In addition, in early fiscal 2007 we initiated the United States phase 1 dose-escalation study focused on the treatment of adult-onset spasmodic torticollis/cervical dystonia. 

In March 2006, we signed a non-binding letter of intent with Niadyne Inc., to distribute Niadyne's innovative NIA 24 line of science-based cosmeceutical products used to improve and restore the healthy appearance of the skin.

 Sales and Marketing

 

We employ a domestic sales force for our aesthetic surgery and body contouring product lines.  The sales force provides product information and specific data support and related services to physicians, nurses and other health care professionals.  We promote our products through participation in and sponsorship of medical conferences and educational seminars, radio, newspaper, specialized websites, journal advertising, direct mail programs, and a variety of marketing support programs.  In fiscal 2005, we launched the first primetime advertising campaign in the industry for our saline breast implant products.  We ran commercials on ABC's Extreme Makeover program for the 2004/05 season while at the same time launching our Mentor4me.com patient education program designed to help educate interested women about breast augmentation surgery and help them locate surgeons.  During fiscal 2005 and into the beginning of fiscal 2006 these commercials also ran during ABC's Daytime programming and ABC's Desperate Housewives program.  In addition, we contribute to organizations that provide counseling and education for persons suffering from certain conditions, and we provide patient education materials for most of our products to physicians for use with their patients.  

 

International Operations

 

We export most of our product lines, principally to Canada, Western Europe, Central and South America, and the Pacific Rim.  Products are sold through our direct international sales offices in Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Benelux, Australia, Spain, Portugal and Italy, as well as through independent distributors in other countries.  Total foreign net sales, which are made through distributors and direct international sales offices, for continuing operations were $75.5 million, $65.2 million, and $55.0 million in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  Other than sales made through our international sales offices, which are denominated in the local currency of the sales office, export sales are made in United States dollars. 

 

In addition, we manufacture mammary implants in The Netherlands and facial products in the United Kingdom.  Total long-lived assets, excluding those related to discontinued operations, located in foreign countries were $29.5 million, $30.5 million, and $30.9 million as of March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. 

 

For additional information regarding our international operations, see "Note U - Business Segment Information" of the "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements."

Competition

 

We believe we are one of the leading suppliers of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery products.  This belief is based upon information developed internally, public information sources, and information from independent research studies of market share.

 

In the domestic breast implant market, we compete primarily with one other company, Allergan Inc., which acquired Inamed Corporation in March 2006.  The primary competitive factors in this market currently are product performance and quality, range of styles and sizes, proprietary design, warranty programs, customer service and, in certain instances, price.  Outside the U.S., we compete with Allergan and various smaller competitors. 

 

Government Regulations

 

General

 

As a manufacturer of medical devices and developer of biologic products, our manufacturing processes and facilities are subject to continuing review by the FDA and various state and international agencies ("Agencies").  These Agencies inspect our processes and facilities from time to time to determine whether we are in compliance with various regulations relating to manufacturing practices and other requirements.  These Agencies have the power to prevent or limit further marketing of products based upon the results of these inspections.  These regulations depend heavily on administrative interpretation.  There can be no assurance that future interpretations made by these Agencies will not adversely affect us.  Failure to comply with these Agencies' regulatory requirements may result in enforcement action by these Agencies, including product recalls, suspension or revocation of product approval, seizure of product to prevent distribution, imposition of injunctions prohibiting product manufacture or distribution, and civil or criminal penalties. 

 

Advertising and promotion of medical devices and biologic products are regulated by the FDA and the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") in the U.S. and by analogous agencies internationally.  A determination that we are in violation of regulatory requirements governing promotional activities could lead to imposition of various penalties, including warning letters, product recalls, injunctive relief, and civil or criminal penalties.

 

Products and materials manufactured internationally may come under Homeland Security statutes from time to time and could be considered for restricted entry into the United States by FDA and U.S. Customs.  The restricted entry of such products and materials could affect the manufacturing and sale of product domestically and internationally.  Our products may also be subject to export control regulations.

 

Regulation of Medical Devices

 

Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ("FDCA") as amended, the FDA has the authority to adopt regulations that: (i) set standards and general controls for medical devices; (ii) require demonstration of safety and effectiveness or other forms of data support prior to marketing devices which the FDA requires pre-market approval or clearance; (iii) require test data to be submitted to the FDA prior to evaluation in humans; (iv) permit detailed inspections of device manufacturing facilities; (v) establish Good Manufacturing Practices ("GMPs"), now referred to as the Quality System Regulation ("QSR") that must be followed in device and biologic manufacture; (vi) require reporting of certain adverse events, device malfunctions, and other post-market information to the FDA; and (vii) prohibit device or biologic exports that do not meet certain requirements.  The FDA also regulates promotional activities by device companies.  Essentially all of our products currently marketed are medical devices and are therefore subject to FDA regulation in the U.S. and analogous foreign agencies for the international countries to which we export our products.  We expect the products, such as Puragen Plus, that we are developing to also be subject to FDA regulation as either biologics or medical devices.

 

8




The FDCA established complex procedures for FDA regulation of devices.  Devices are placed in three classes:  Class I (general controls to preclude misbranding or adulteration, compliance with labeling and other requirements), Class II (special controls and FDA clearance in addition to general controls), and Class III (a pre-market approval application ("PMA") before commercial marketing).  Class III devices are the most extensively regulated.  Class III devices require each manufacturer to submit to the FDA a PMA that includes information demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of the device.  The majority of our aesthetic surgery products are in Class III. 

 

In 1991, we submitted a PMA for our silicone gel-filled mammary prostheses to the FDA.  In 1992, the FDA's outside advisory panel on aesthetic surgery products indicated that although there was insufficient data to establish with reasonable certainty that silicone gel implants were safe and effective, there was a public health need for these types of implants.  Adopting the recommendations of the panel, the FDA denied the pending applications for the use of silicone gel-filled breast implants for augmentation, but provided for the continued availability of the implants for reconstruction and revision purposes on the basis of a public health need.  Since 1992, women have been required to enroll in a clinical program for future follow-up in order to receive gel-filled implants for reconstruction.  Patients are required to sign an informed consent form and physicians must certify that saline implants are not a satisfactory alternative.  We continue to ship these products under the terms of this clinical program, and these shipment activities require device tracking and documentation support to ensure compliance and accountability.

 

In 1994, the FDA published proposed guidelines for the PMA applicable to our saline-filled breast implants.  We submitted all the required data for our saline implants, and the FDA approved our application on May 10, 2000.  In conjunction with its review of the data, the FDA inspected our manufacturing facility in Irving, Texas and indicated the facility was in substantial compliance with the applicable regulations. 

In December 2003, we completed the submission of our PMA application for our MemoryGelround silicone gel-filled breast implants to the FDA for breast augmentation, reconstruction and revision.  The FDA indicated that our PMA "is sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review and is, therefore, suitable for filing."  On January 8, 2004, the FDA released a "Draft Guidance for Saline, Silicone Gel, and Alternative Breast Implants."  This new draft guidance has additional requirements from the FDA's previously issued guidance document dated February 2003.  In August 2004, we amended our PMA based on January 2004 revised (new) FDA draft guidance and responded to other issues raised by the FDA.  On April 11-13, 2005, an advisory panel composed of outside experts selected by the FDA met to consider questions presented to it by the FDA regarding our and our competitor's PMA submissions and to make a recommendation to the FDA regarding whether the PMA applications should be approved.  In a majority 7-2 vote, the panel recommended approval of our PMA submission to the FDA, with conditions.  On July 28, 2005, we received an "approvable letter" with conditions from the FDA on our PMA application.  The approvable letter stipulates a number of conditions which we must satisfy in order to receive FDA approval to market and sell silicone gel-filled breast implants in the United States.  These conditions were generally consistent with those conditions that the advisory panel had recommended.  We remain in discussion with the FDA regarding the conditions for approval of our MemoryGel breast implant PMA application, including discussions regarding post-market patient monitoring and data collection.  We expect to incur additional expenses in connection with such post-market patient monitoring and data collection, which could be substantial.  We cannot guarantee that the FDA will provide final approval, nor can we determine when the FDA's decision regarding approval will be made. 

On April 3, 2006, we submitted a pre-market approval application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for our Contour Profile® silicone gel-filled breast implant products ("CPG").  The FDA has initiated its review of our application with the exception of our clinical module, which based on discussions with FDA will require additional information, and we are in the process of collecting that information.

We also have two pending applications for Medical Device Licenses in Canada for our silicone gel-filled breast implants.  An expert advisory panel was convened by the Canadian government on March 22, 2005 to review our pending application for Medical Device Licenses.  Health Canada held a public forum on these devices September 29, 2005.  We cannot predict the timing or outcome of the review and forum or determine when or if Health Canada will approve our product applications.

Biologics

 

Certain other products being developed by us are regulated by the FDA as biologics under the Public Health Service Act requiring pre-marketing approval, and are subject to regulations and requirements on preclinical and clinical testing, manufacture, labeling, quality control, storage, advertising, promotion, marketing, distribution, and export.  Prior to commercial sale of a biologic, a Biologics License Application ("BLA") that includes results from required, well-controlled clinical trials to establish the safety and effectiveness for the product's intended use, and specified manufacturing information, must be submitted to and approved by the FDA.  FDA inspection of the manufacturing facility during review of the BLA is required to ensure that manufacturing processes conform to FDA-mandated GMPs.  Continued compliance with GMPs is required after product approval, and post-approval changes in manufacturing processes or facilities, product labeling, or other areas require FDA review and approval.  We are also subject to regulation by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control, due to the nature of the biological agent used to manufacture our botulinum toxin product, Clostridium botulinum type A, which is still in the development phase.  Failure to comply with the regulations and requirements of these various agencies could affect our ability to manufacture products and may have a significant negative future impact on sales and results of operations.

 

We have incurred, and will continue to incur, substantial costs relating to laboratory and clinical testing of new and existing products and the preparation and filing of documents required by the FDA for product approval.  The process of obtaining marketing clearance and approvals from the FDA can be time consuming and expensive, and there is no assurance that such clearances or approvals will be granted.  We also may encounter delays in bringing new products to market as a result of being required by the FDA to conduct and document additional investigations of product safety and effectiveness, which may adversely affect our ability to commercialize additional products or additional applications for existing products.

 

Additional Regulations

 

As a manufacturer of medical devices and biologics, our manufacturing processes and facilities are subject to regulation and review by international regulatory agencies for products sold internationally. 

 

A medical device may only be marketed in the European Union ("EU") if it complies with the Medical Devices Directive (93/42/EEC) ("MDD") and bears the CE mark as evidence of that compliance.  To achieve this, the medical devices in question must meet the "essential requirements" defined under the MDD relating to safety and performance, and we as manufacturer of the devices must undergo verification of our regulatory compliance by a third party standards certification provider, known as a "Notified Body".  We have obtained CE marking for our products sold in the EU by demonstrating compliance with the MDD and ISO13485 2003 international quality system standards.  Medical device laws and regulations are also in effect in some of the other countries to which we export our products.  These range from comprehensive device approval requirements for some or all of our medical device products, to requests for product data or certifications.  Failure to comply with these international regulatory standards and requirements, and to changes in the international quality system standards, could affect our ability to market and sell products in these markets and may have a significant negative impact on sales and results of operations.

 

Additional products in the area of biologics are being developed, which will be regulated as medicinal products in the EU and as such will require a marketing authorization before they can be introduced into the market.  There are two routes by which this can be achieved: the centralized procedure whereby an approval granted by the European Commission permits the supply of the product in question throughout the EU, or the Mutual Recognition Procedure ("MRP") where a marketing authorization granted by one national authority is recognized by the authorities of the other member states in which we intend to supply the products.  The centralized procedure is compulsory for biotechnology products and is optional for certain high-technology products.  All such products which are not authorized by the centralized route must be authorized by the MRP unless the product is designed for a single EU country, in which case a national application can be made.  In each case, the application must contain full details of the product and the research that has been carried out to establish its efficacy, safety and quality.

 

10




Our present and future business has been and will continue to be subject to various other laws and regulations, including state and local laws relating to such matters as safe working conditions and disposal of potentially hazardous substances.  We may incur significant costs in complying with such laws and regulations now, or in the future, and any failure to comply may have a material adverse impact on our business.

 

Environmental Regulation

 

We are subject to federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations.  Our manufacturing and research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous materials, chemicals and biological materials, which require compliance with various laws and regulations regarding the use, storage, and disposal of such materials.  We believe that our operations comply in all material respects with applicable environmental laws and regulations in each country where we have a business presence.  Although we continue to make expenditures for environmental protection, we do not anticipate any additional significant expenditures, in complying with such laws and regulations, that would have a material impact on our earnings or competitive position.  We are not aware of any pending litigation or significant financial obligations arising from current or past environmental practices that are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position.  We cannot provide any assurance, however, that environmental claims will not develop in the future including claims for indemnification, relating to our operations or properties owned or operated by us, or those properties previously owned by us and divested as part of the transaction with Coloplast, nor can we predict whether any such claims, if they were to develop, would require significant expenditures on our part.  There can be no assurance that violations of environmental health and safety laws will not occur in the future as a result of the inability to obtain permits, human error, equipment failure or other causes, which could result in fines and penalties or adversely affect our operating results and harm our business. In addition, environmental laws could become more stringent over time, imposing greater compliance costs and increasing risks and penalties associated with violations.

 

We are subject to regulation by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and other state and local environmental agencies in each of our domestic manufacturing facilities.  For example, in Texas, we are subject to regulation by the local Air Pollution Control District as a result of some of the chemicals used in our manufacturing processes.  Failure to comply with the regulations and requirements of these various agencies could affect our ability to manufacture our existing products or could result in a claim for indemnification and may have a significant negative impact on sales and results of operations, including discontinued operations.

 

Medicare, Medicaid and Third-Party Reimbursement

 

Health care providers that purchase medical devices, such as our products, generally rely on third-party payors, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs and private payors, such as indemnity insurers, employer group health insurance programs and managed care plans, to reimburse all or part of the cost of the products.  In the United States, our aesthetics products are sold principally to hospitals, surgery centers and surgeons.  We invoice our customers and they remit directly to us.  In some cases, the patient and the procedure may be eligible for reimbursement by third-party payors, including Medicare, Medicaid and other similar programs, but this coverage is invisible to us on a case-by-case basis.  However, we are aware that some of our customers are being reimbursed, in full or in part, for our products or for procedures that utilize our products.  The majority of procedures that utilize our products are not reimbursable by these third-party payors.   Nevertheless, reimbursement can be a significant market factor when the product cost represents a major portion of the total procedure cost and the reimbursement for that procedure (or alternative procedures) is changing, or influencing treatment decisions.  As a result, demand for our products is dependent in part on the coverage and reimbursement policies of these payors.  The manner in which reimbursement is sought and obtained for any of our products varies based upon the type of payor involved and the setting in which the product is furnished and utilized by patients.

 

11




Payments from Medicare, Medicaid and other third party payors are subject to legislative and regulatory changes and are susceptible to budgetary pressures.  Some of our customers' revenues and ability to purchase our products and services is therefore subject to the effect of those changes and to possible reductions in coverage or payment rates by third-party payors.  Any changes in the health care regulatory, payment or enforcement landscape relative to our customers' health care services may negatively affect our operations and revenues.  Discussed below are certain factors which could have a negative impact on our future operations and financial condition.  It is difficult to predict the effect of these factors on our operations; however, the effect could be negative and material.

 

Medicare Overview

 

Medicare is a federal program administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS"), formerly known as HCFA, through fiscal intermediaries and carriers.  Available to individuals age 65 or over, and certain other classes of individuals, the Medicare program provides, among other things, health care benefits that cover, within prescribed limits, the major costs of most medically necessary care for such individuals, subject to certain deductibles and co-payments.  There are three components to the Medicare program relevant to our business:  Part A, which covers inpatient services, home health care and hospice care; Part B which covers physician services, other health care professional services and outpatient services; and Part C or Medicare Advantage, which is a program for managed care plans. 

 

The Medicare program has established guidelines for the coverage and reimbursement of certain equipment, supplies and services.  In general, in order to be reimbursed by Medicare, a health care item or service furnished to a Medicare beneficiary must be reasonable and necessary for the diagnosis or treatment of an illness or injury or to improve the functioning of a malformed body part.  The methodology for determining (1) the coverage status of our products; and (2) the amount of Medicare reimbursement for our products, varies based upon, among other factors, the setting in which a Medicare beneficiary received health care items and services.  Any changes in federal legislation, regulations and policy affecting Medicare coverage and reimbursement relative to our products could have a material effect on our performance.

 

A portion of our revenue is derived from our customers who operate inpatient hospital facilities.  Acute care hospitals are generally reimbursed by Medicare for inpatient operating costs based upon prospectively determined rates.  Under the Prospective Payment System, or PPS, acute care hospitals receive a predetermined payment rate based upon the Diagnosis-Related Group, or DRG, into which each Medicare beneficiary stay is assigned, regardless of the actual cost of the services provided.  Certain additional or "outlier" payments may be made to a hospital for cases involving unusually high costs.  Accordingly, acute care hospitals generally do not receive direct Medicare reimbursement under PPS for the distinct costs incurred in purchasing our products.  Rather, reimbursement for these costs is deemed to be included within the DRG-based payments made to hospitals for the services furnished to Medicare-eligible inpatients in which our products are utilized.  Because PPS payments are based on predetermined rates and are often less than a hospital's actual costs in furnishing care, acute care hospitals have incentives to lower their inpatient operating costs by utilizing equipment, devices and supplies, including those sold by us, that will reduce the length of inpatient stays, decrease labor or otherwise lower their costs.  Our product revenue could be affected negatively if acute care hospitals discontinue product use due to insufficient reimbursement, or if other treatment options are perceived to be more profitable.

 

Medicare - - Outpatient Hospital Setting

 

CMS implemented the hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System, or OPPS, effective July 1, 2000.  OPPS is the current payment methodology for hospital outpatient services, among others.  Services paid under the OPPS are classified into groups called Ambulatory Payment Classifications, or APC.  Services grouped within each APC are similar clinically and in terms of the resources they require.  A payment rate is established for each APC through the application of a conversion factor that CMS updates on an annual basis.  OPPS may cause providers of outpatient services with costs above the payment rate to incur losses on such services provided to Medicare beneficiaries. 

 

12




The Balanced Budget Refinement Act of 1999 provides for temporary financial relief from the effects of OPPS through the payment of additional outlier payments and transitional pass-through payments to outpatient providers reimbursed through OPPS who qualify for such assistance.  Transitional pass-through payments are required for new or innovative medical devices, drugs, and biological agents.  The purpose of transitional pass-through payments is to allow for adequate payment of new and innovative technology until there is enough data to incorporate cost for these items into the base APC group.  The qualification of a device for transitional pass-through payments is temporary. 

 

Annually CMS proposes, and after consideration of public comment, implements changes to OPPS and payment rates for the following calendar year.  The OPPS methodology determines the amount hospitals will be reimbursed for procedures performed on an outpatient basis and determines the profitability of certain procedures for the hospital and may impact hospital purchasing decisions. 

 

We cannot predict the final effect that any change in OPPS regulations, including future annual updates, will have on our customers or our revenues.  Any such effect, however, could be negative if APC groupings become less advantageous, reimbursement allowables decline, or if the OPPS is modified in any other manner detrimental to our business.

 

Medicaid

 

The Medicaid program is a cooperative federal/state program that provides medical assistance benefits to qualifying low income and medically needy persons.  State participation in Medicaid is optional and each state is given discretion in developing and administering its own Medicaid program, subject to certain federal requirements pertaining to payment levels, eligibility criteria and minimum categories of services.  The coverage, method and level of reimbursement varies from state to state and is subject to each state's budget restraints.  Changes to the coverage, method or level of reimbursement for our products may affect future revenue negatively if reimbursement amounts are decreased or discontinued.

 

Private Payors

 

Many third-party private payors, including indemnity insurers, employer group health insurance programs and managed care plans, presently provide coverage for the purchase of our products.  The scope of coverage and payment policies varies among third-party private payors.  Furthermore, many such payors are investigating or implementing methods for reducing health care costs, such as the establishment of capitated or prospective payment systems.  Cost containment pressures have led to an increased emphasis on the use of cost-effective technologies and products by health care providers.  Future changes in reimbursement methods and cost control strategies may limit or discontinue reimbursement for our products and could have a negative effect on revenues and results of operations.

 

Health Care Fraud and Abuse Laws and Regulations

 

The federal government has made a policy decision to significantly increase the financial resources allocated to enforcing the health care fraud and abuse laws.  Private insurers and various state enforcement agencies also have increased their level of scrutiny of health care claims and arrangements in an effort to identify and prosecute fraudulent and abusive practices in the health care industry.  We monitor compliance with federal and state laws and regulations applicable to the health care industry in order to minimize the likelihood that we would engage in conduct or enter into contracts that could be deemed to be in violation of the fraud and abuse laws.  The health care fraud and abuse laws to which we are subject include the following, among others:

Federal and State Anti-Kickback Laws and Safe Harbor Provisions

The federal anti-kickback laws make it a felony to knowingly and willfully offer, pay, solicit or receive any form of remuneration in exchange for referring, recommending, arranging, purchasing, leasing or ordering items or services covered by a federal health care program, including Medicare or Medicaid, subject to various "safe harbor" provisions.  The anti-kickback prohibitions apply regardless of whether the remuneration is provided directly or indirectly, in cash or in kind, and various state laws have similar prohibitions that are sometimes broader in nature.  Interpretations of the law have been very broad.  Under current law, courts and federal regulatory authorities have stated that the federal law is violated if even one purpose (as opposed to the sole or primary purpose) of the arrangement is to induce referrals.  A violation of the federal statute is a felony and could result in civil and administrative penalties, including exclusion from the Medicare or Medicaid program, even if no criminal prosecution is initiated.

 

The Department of Health and Human Services has issued regulations from time to time setting forth safe harbors, which would guarantee protection of certain limited types of arrangements from prosecution under the statute if all elements of a particular safe harbor are met.  However, failure to fall within a safe harbor or within each element of a particular safe harbor does not mean that an arrangement is per se in violation of the federal anti-kickback laws.  As the comments to the safe harbors indicate, the purpose of the safe harbors is not to describe all illegal conduct, but to set forth standards for certain non-violative arrangements.  If an arrangement violates the federal anti-kickback laws and full compliance with a safe harbor cannot be achieved, we risk greater scrutiny by the Office of the Inspector General, ("OIG"), and, potentially, civil and/or criminal sanctions.  We believe our arrangements are in compliance with the federal anti-kickback laws, and analogous state laws; however, regulatory or enforcement authorities may take a contrary position, and we cannot assure that these laws will ultimately be interpreted in a manner consistent with our practices.

 

Federal False Claims Act 

 

We are subject to state and federal laws that govern the submission of claims for reimbursement.  The federal False Claims Act imposes civil liability on individuals or entities that submit (or "cause" to be submitted) false or fraudulent claims to the government for payment.  Violations of the False Claims Act may result in civil monetary penalties for each false claim submitted treble damages and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs.  In addition, we could be subject to criminal penalties under a variety of federal statutes to the extent that we knowingly violate legal requirements under federal health programs or otherwise present (or cause to be presented) false or fraudulent claims or documentation to the government.  In addition, the OIG may impose extensive and costly corporate integrity requirements upon a health industry participant that is the subject of a false claims judgment or settlement.  These requirements may include the creation of a formal compliance program, the appointment of a government monitor, and the imposition of annual reporting requirements and audits conducted by an independent review organization to monitor compliance with the terms of any such compliance program, as well as the relevant laws and regulations. 

 

The False Claims Act also allows a private individual to bring a "qui tam" suit on behalf of the government for violations of the False Claims Act, and if successful, the "qui tam" individual shares in the government's recovery.  A qui tam suit may be brought, with only a few exceptions, by any private citizen who has material information of a false claim that has not yet been previously disclosed.  Recently, the number of qui tam suits brought in the health care industry has increased dramatically.  In addition, several states have enacted laws modeled after the False Claims Act.

 

Under the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, Congress encouraged states to enact state false claims acts that are similar to the federal False Claims Act, including "qui tam" provisions.  As states enact such laws, the risk of being subject to a state false claims action will increase.

 

Additionally, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, to which we are subject, prohibits corporations and individuals from engaging in certain activities to obtain or retain business or to influence a person working in an official capacity.  It is illegal to pay, offer to pay, authorize to payment of anything of value to any foreign government official, government staff member, political party, or political candidate in an attempt to obtain or retain business or to otherwise influence a person working in an official capacity.  Our present and future business has been and will continue to be subject to various other laws, rules, and/or regulations.

Product Development

 

We are focused on the development of new products and improvements to existing products, as well as obtaining FDA approval of certain products and processes, and we maintain the highest quality standards of existing products.  During fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, we spent a total of $29.0 million, $25.2 million and $ 21.1 million, respectively, for research and development primarily in support of our silicone gel breast implant regulatory submissions in the United States and Canada, laboratory testing and clinical studies for our hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler Puragen™ and our botulinum toxin products.

 

Patents and Licenses

 

It is our policy to protect our intellectual property rights relating to our products whenever possible and appropriate.  Our patents and licenses relating to continuing operations include those relating to tissue expanders, a combination breast implant and tissue expander (Becker implant), and body contouring (liposuction) equipment.  We believe that although our patents and licenses are material in their totality, no single patent or license is material to our business as a whole.

 

In those instances where we have acquired technology from third parties, we have sought to obtain rights of ownership to the technology through the acquisition of underlying patents or licenses.  While we believe design, development, regulatory and marketing aspects of the medical device business represent the principal barriers to entry into such business, we also recognize that our patents and license rights may make it more difficult for our competitors to market products similar to those we produce.  We can give no assurance that our patent rights, whether issued, subject to license, or in process, will not be circumvented, terminated, or invalidated.  Further, there are numerous existing and pending patents on medical products and biomaterials.  We can give no assurance that our current, former or planned products do not or will not infringe such rights or that others will not claim such infringement or that we will be able to prevent competitors from challenging our patents or entering markets currently served by us.

 

Raw Material Supply and Single Source Suppliers

 

We obtain certain raw materials and components for a number of our products from single source suppliers, including our implant quality silicone elastomers and gel materials for mammary prostheses and certain components used for those prostheses.  We believe our sources of supply could be replaced if necessary, but it is possible that the process of qualifying new materials and/or vendors for certain raw materials and components could cause an interruption in our ability to manufacture our products and potentially have a material negative impact on sales.  No significant interruptions to raw material supplies occurred during fiscal 2006.

 

Our saline-filled mammary implants and other products are available for sale in the United States under FDA approvals and/or clearances.  Gel-filled mammary implants are only available in the United States as part of the adjunct clinical study.  A change in raw material, components or suppliers for products may require a new FDA submission, and subsequent review and approval.  There is no assurance that such a submission would be approved without delay, or at all.  Any delay or failure to obtain approval may have a significant adverse impact on our sales and results of operations. 

 

In connection with the sale of our Urology Business to Coloplast, we have entered into a supply agreement with Coloplast for certain components of our breast implant products.  For the short-term, Coloplast would be our sole source for these components, and if we were unable to obtain this supply, our business would be harmed.  We may determine that we do not want to continue to purchase products from Coloplast or Coloplast may be unable to meet our needs in a timely manner, either of which may disrupt our business during the period we negotiate a supply agreement with, and qualify the manufacturing process of, a third party or begin production of the components ourselves.

Seasonality

 

Our quarterly results reflect slight seasonality, as the second fiscal quarter ending September 30 tends to have the lowest revenue of all of the quarters.  This is primarily due to lower levels of sales of breast implants for augmentation, an elective procedure, as surgeons and patients tend to take vacation, particularly in Europe, during this quarter.

 

Working Capital

 

We maintain normal industry levels of inventory for our business.  This includes significant consignment inventories of our aesthetics products to aid the surgeon in correctly sizing an implant to meet patient needs and to reduce the rate of returns of products that are purchased in order to facilitate sizing options.  Inventories are managed to levels consistent with high levels of customer service.  Additionally, new product introductions require inventory build-ups to ensure success.

 

Our accounts receivable credit terms are consistent with normal industry practices in the markets that we sell our products.  Aesthetic surgery product return policies allow for product returns for full or partial credit for up to six months.  It is common practice to order additional quantities and sizes to facilitate correct sizing to meet patient needs.  Consequently, product return rates are high but are considered to be consistent with the industry rates.  See "Application of Critical Accounting Policies - Revenue Recognition" of "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

 

Employees

 

As of March 31, 2006, we employed approximately 950 people in our continuing operations, of whom 490 were in manufacturing, 202 in sales and marketing, 82 in research and development and 176 in finance and administration.  Including the discontinued operations (surgical urology and clinical and consumer healthcare segments), at March 31, 2006, we employed a total of approximately 2,040 people, of whom 1,075 were in manufacturing, 525 in sales and marketing, 123 in research and development and 317 in finance and administration.  We have never had a work stoppage due to labor difficulties, and we consider our relations with our employees to be satisfactory.

Discontinued Operations 

On May 17, 2006, we entered into a definitive Purchase Agreement with Coloplast for the sale of our surgical urology and clinical and consumer healthcare business segments for total consideration of $463,225,000, of which $456,137,500 is in cash and $7,087,500 in non-cash consideration consisting of the value of certain foreign tax credits that Mentor expects to realize arising from the transaction prior to the close.  On June 2, 2006, we completed this sale to Coloplast.  The Purchase Agreement provides, among other things, that we will not enter into or engage in a business that competes with the business as sold, on a worldwide basis, for a period of seven years following the closing.  This restriction on competition does not apply to (i) development, manufacture or sale of any oral pharmaceuticals or any product or treatments involving dermal fillers or other bulking agents or toxins, including botulinum toxins, or (ii) any businesses acquired and operated by us or our affiliates for so long as such competing businesses generate less than $5 million in aggregate annual revenues.  These restrictions on competition terminate upon a change in control of Mentor.  On June 1, 2006, our Porges SAS subsidiary sold certain intellectual property to Coloplast for $52 million which is included in the total consideration.  In connection with the sale, we entered into a Transition Services Agreement ("TSA") and various supply agreements.  Pursuant to the TSA, in exchange for specified fees, we will provide to Coloplast, and Coloplast will provide to us, services including accounting, regulatory, clinical, information technology, customer support and use of facilities.  Under the supply agreements, we will supply various products, including silicone gel-filled testicular implants to Coloplast and Coloplast will supply to us various component products to us.  Coloplast will reimburse us for certain fees and expenses related to the services we perform under the TSA.  Certain of these services that we will provide are expected to extend for a period of up to 12 months, and the supply agreements range from a period of 6 - 36 months.  On June 2, 2006, we also completed the sale of our intellectual property, raw materials and tangible assets for the production of silicone male external catheters relating to our catheter production facility in Anoka, Minnesota and our inventory of such catheters to Rochester Medical Corporation, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.6 million. 

16




Our former surgical urology segment included surgically implantable prostheses for the treatment of impotence, surgically implantable incontinence products, urinary care products, and brachytherapy seeds for the treatment of prostate cancer.  Our former clinical and consumer healthcare products included catheters and other products for the management of urinary incontinence and retention.  The surgical urology and clinical and consumer healthcare segments sold to Coloplast contributed approximately 47% of our pre-divestiture consolidated net sales and approximately 27% of our operating profit in fiscal 2006.  Net assets held for sale comprised approximately 51% of  total pre-divestiture net assets in fiscal 2006.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS.

Our business faces many risks.  The risks described below may not be the only risks we face.  Additional risks that we do not yet know of or that we currently think are immaterial may also impair our business operations.  If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer and the trading price of our common stock or our convertible notes could decline. You should consider the following risks before deciding to invest in our common stock or convertible notes.

Significant product liability claims or product recalls may force us to pay substantial damage awards and other expenses that could exceed our accruals and insurance coverages.

The manufacture and sale of medical devices exposes us to significant risk of product liability claims.  In the past, and currently, we have had a number of product liability claims relating to our products, and we may be subject to additional product liability claims in the future, some of which may have a negative impact on our business.  If a product liability claim or series of claims is brought against us for uninsured liabilities or in excess of our insurance coverage, our business could suffer.  Some manufacturers that suffered such claims in the past have been forced to cease operations or even to declare bankruptcy.

Additionally, we offer product replacement and certain financial assistance for surgical procedures that fall within our limited warranty and coverage period of implantation on our breast implant products, and we accrue for those limited warranties.  Such accruals are based on estimates, taking into consideration relevant factors such as historical experience, warranty period, estimated costs, existence and levels of insurance and insurance retentions, identified product quality issues, if any, and, to a limited extent, information developed by the insurance company using actuarial techniques.  We assess the adequacy of these accruals periodically and adjust the amounts as necessary based on actual experience and changes in future expectations.  We also recently expanded our limited warranty programs to provide certain financial assistance for surgical procedures within ten years of implantation (increased from five years) and expanded the program coverage to include breast implant sales in European and certain other countries, in addition to the United States.  Changes to actual warranty claims incurred could have a material impact on the actuarial analysis, which in turn could materially impact our reported expenses and results of operations.

In addition to product liability or warranty claims, we could experience a material design or manufacturing failure, a quality system failure, other safety issues, or heightened regulatory scrutiny that would warrant a recall of products we manufacture or are manufactured by another company and we distribute.  A recall of some of our products could result in exposure to additional product liability claims, significant expense to perform the recall and lost sales.

We are subject to substantial government regulation, which could have a material adverse affect on our business.

The production and marketing of our products and our ongoing research and development activities, including pre-clinical testing and clinical trial activities, are subject to extensive regulation and review by numerous governmental authorities both in the U.S. and abroad.  Most of the medical devices we develop must undergo rigorous pre-clinical and clinical testing and an extensive regulatory approval process before they can be marketed.  Certain of our products are required to undergo review by a panel of outside experts selected by the FDA, which makes a recommendation to the FDA as to whether the product(s) should or should not be approved.  This process makes it potentially longer, more difficult and/or more costly to bring our products to market, and we cannot guarantee that any of our unapproved products will be approved or how long it may take for any one particular product to be approved.  The pre-marketing approval process can be particularly expensive, uncertain and lengthy, and a number of devices for which FDA approval has been sought by other companies have never been approved for marketing.  In addition to testing and approval procedures, extensive regulations also govern manufacturing, packaging, labeling, storage, distribution, record-keeping, advertising, and marketing procedures.  If we do not comply with applicable regulatory requirements, such violations could result in non-approval, suspensions of clinical trials, suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals, product recalls, civil penalties and criminal fines, product seizures, operating restrictions, injunctions, and criminal prosecution.

Delays in, withdrawal, or rejection of the FDA or other government entity approval(s) of our products, including a delay in or rejection of the approval of our round silicone gel-filled breast implant pre-market approval application ("PMA") or a significant delay in acceptance of the clinical module of our Contour Profile Gel PMA, or any significant delays in our PMA filings, including our Puragen Plus PMA, may also adversely affect our business.  Such delays, withdrawals, or rejections may be encountered due to, among other reasons, government or regulatory delays, lack of demonstrated safety or efficacy during clinical trials, safety issues, manufacturing issues, slower than expected rate of patient recruitment for clinical trials, inability to follow patients after treatment in clinical trials, inconsistencies between early clinical trial results and results obtained in later clinical trials, varying interpretations of data generated by clinical trials, or changes in regulatory policy or requirements in the U.S. and abroad.  In the U.S., there has been a continuing trend toward more stringent FDA requirements in the areas of product approval and enforcement, causing medical device manufacturers to experience longer research and development timelines, longer approval cycles, greater risk and uncertainty, and higher expenses.  Internationally, there is a risk that we may not be successful in meeting the quality standards or other certification requirements.  Even if regulatory approval of a product is granted, such approval may entail limitations on uses for which the product may be labeled and promoted, stringent post-marketing requirements, or may prevent us from broadening the uses of our current products for different applications.  If we incur significant expenses, for example, in connection with post-market patient monitoring and data collection activities for our silicone gel-filled breast implants, this could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.  In addition, to the extent permissible by law, we may not receive FDA approval to export our products in the future, and countries to which products are to be exported may not approve them for import.  We may also be required to withdraw or recall our products after we receive approvals and begin commercial sales if we, the FDA or a foreign government agency determines that there is a higher than average incidence of post-treatment complications with our products as a result of subsequent clinical experience and/or data.  From time to time, we are subject to inquiry by government agencies in this regard. 

Our manufacturing facilities also are subject to continual governmental review and inspection.  The FDA has stated publicly that compliance with manufacturing regulations will be scrutinized more strictly.  A governmental authority may challenge our compliance with applicable federal, state and/or foreign regulations.  In addition, any discovery of previously unknown problems with one of our products or facilities may result in restrictions on the product or the facility, including, but not limited to, product recalls, withdrawal of the product from the market or other enforcement actions.

From time to time, legislative or regulatory proposals are introduced that, if implemented, could alter the review and approval process relating to medical devices, or related to the sale of our products.  It is possible that the FDA or other governmental authorities will issue additional regulations, which could further reduce or restrict the sales of our presently marketed products or products under development.

Any change in legislation or regulations that govern the review and approval process relating to our current and/or future products, or that restrict the manner by which we may sell our products, could make it more difficult and/or costly to obtain approval for new products, and/or to produce, market, and distribute existing products.

If we are unable to continue to develop and commercialize new technologies and products, we may experience a decrease in demand for our products or our products could become obsolete.

The medical device industry is highly competitive and is subject to significant and rapid technological change.  We believe that our ability to develop or acquire new technologies is crucial to our success.  We are continually engaged in product research and development, product improvement programs, and required clinical studies to develop new technologies and to maintain and improve our competitive position.  Any significant delays in the above or termination or failure of our clinical trials would materially and adversely affect our research, development and commercialization timelines.  We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in enhancing existing products, or in developing or acquiring new products or technologies that will timely achieve regulatory approval or success in the marketplace.  

There is also a risk that our products may not gain market acceptance among physicians, patients and the medical community generally.  The degree of market acceptance of any medical device or other product that we develop will depend on a number of factors, including demonstrated clinical safety and efficacy, cost-effectiveness, potential advantages over alternative products, user/patient acceptance, and our marketing and distribution capabilities.  Physicians will not recommend our products if clinical and/or other data and/or other factors do not demonstrate their safety and efficacy compared to other competing products, or if our products do not best meet the particular needs of the individual patient.

In December 2003, we completed our PMA application to the FDA for our silicone gel-filled implants for breast augmentation, reconstruction and revision.  In August 2004, we amended our PMA application based on a revised draft guidance released by the FDA in January 2004.  On July 28, 2005, we received an "approvable" letter, with conditions, from the FDA on our PMA application for our silicone gel-filled breast implants.  The approvable letter stipulates a number of conditions which we must satisfy in order to receive FDA approval to market and sell silicone gel-filled breast implants in the United States.  Our current discussions with FDA regarding our MemoryGel silicone gel-filled breast implant PMA are primarily focused on post-approval patient monitoring and data collection.  Despite the approvable letter and our current discussions, the FDA may ultimately decide to not approve our silicone gel-filled breast implants for sale in the United States, or if they do approve, the FDA would most likely recommend additional post-approval conditions or requirements, for which we would incur costs that could be substantial, and which could potentially impact our sales and earnings, depending on the scope and complexity of the requirements.  Further change in FDA regulatory requirements, including those implemented through new or revised FDA guidance, (such as that announced on January 8, 2004 by the FDA), may delay or may otherwise adversely affect our pending PMA application as well as its review or approval by the FDA.  A delay or denial response by the FDA would have a material adverse effect on our commercialization timelines and competitive position, and ultimately our revenue and operating results.  If our new products do not achieve significant market acceptance, or if our current products do not continue competing successfully in the changing market, our sales and earnings may not grow as much as expected, or may even decline.

We also have two pending applications for Medical Device Licenses in Canada for our silicone gel-filled breast implants.  An expert advisory panel was convened by the Canadian government on March 22, 2005 to review our pending application for Medical Device Licenses.  A public forum called by Health Canada on these devices was held September 29, 2005.  We cannot predict the outcome of these reviews, nor determine when or if Health Canada will approve our product applications.  In addition, any approval could be granted with stringent post-approval conditions or requirements, for which we would incur costs, and which could impact our sales and earnings, depending on the scope and complexity of such requirements.

With respect to our Puragen Plus™ program in the U.S., we recently identified potential issues that required further evaluation of our clinical study data  that will result in a delay to our PMA submission timeline.  We performed this further evaluation, and we concurrently reviewed some of our critical production processes.  Though we have developed a plan to move forward with our Puragen Plus PMA process, any further delays in the submission of our PMA or a delay or denial response by the FDA would have a material adverse effect on our commercialization timelines and competitive position, and ultimately our future revenue and operating results.

If we are unable to compete effectively with existing or new competitors, we could experience price reductions, reduced demand for our products, reduced margins and loss of market share, and our business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected.

Our products compete with similar or other competitive medical products manufactured by major companies, and may also compete with new products currently under development by others. 

Competition in our industry occurs on a variety of levels, including but not limited to:

•          developing and bringing new products to market before others or to provide benefits superior to those of existing products;

•          developing new technologies to improve existing products;

•          developing new products at a lower cost to provide the same benefits as existing products at the same or lower price;

•          creating or entering new markets with existing products;

•          increasing or improving service-related programs; and

•          advertising in a manner that creates additional awareness and demand.

The competitive environment requires an ongoing, extensive search for technological innovations and the ability to market products effectively.  Consequently, we must continue to effectively execute on various competitive levels to properly position our products in the marketplace and maintain our market share, revenue and gross margins.

In particular, we face competition from Allergan, Inc., which acquired Inamed Corporation in March 2006, our only current competitor in the U.S. for our breast aesthetics product line.  On September 21, 2005, Inamed announced that it also received an "approvable" letter, with conditions, from the FDA for its silicone gel-filled breast implants.  If Allergan gains FDA approval to market its silicone gel-filled breast implant products before we do, our competitive position will likely suffer.  As a result of Allergan's acquisition of Inamed,  we are now competing against a much larger competitor with a substantially larger sales force.

If we suffer negative publicity concerning the safety of our products, our sales may be harmed and we may be forced to withdraw products.

Physicians and potential patients may have a number of concerns about the safety of our products, including our breast implants, whether or not such concerns have a basis in generally accepted science or peer-reviewed scientific research.  Negative publicity, whether accurate or inaccurate, concerning our products could reduce market or governmental acceptance of our products and could result in decreased product demand or product withdrawal.  For example, we may be required to recall or withdraw our products if we, the FDA or a foreign government agency determine that use of our products results in a higher than average rate of post-treatment complications based on clinical experience and/or data.  If one foreign government agency were to request or require a withdrawal or recall of one or more of our products, the safety concerns leading to that government agency's request may be investigated by regulatory bodies in other countries, which could result in additional withdrawals or recalls and could result in negative publicity regarding our products.  In addition, significant negative publicity could result in an increased number of product liability claims, whether or not these claims are supported by applicable law.

If changes in the economy and consumer spending reduce consumer demand for our products, our sales and profitability could suffer.

Certain elective procedures, such as breast augmentation and body contouring, are not covered by insurance.  Adverse changes in the economy or other conditions or events may cause consumers to reassess their spending choices and reduce the demand for these surgeries and could have an adverse effect on consumer spending.  This shift could have an adverse effect on our sales and profitability.

22




If we are unable to implement new information technology systems, our ability to manufacture and sell products, maintain regulatory compliance and manage and report our business activities may be impaired, delayed or diminished, which would cause substantial business interruption and loss of sales, customers and profits.

In fiscal 2004, we implemented an enterprise resource planning system at our major locations which is our primary business management system.  We intend to continue to implement the system for substantially all of our businesses worldwide.  Many other companies have had severe problems with computer system implementations of this nature and scope.  We are using a controlled project plan and we believe we have assigned adequate staffing and other resources to the projects to ensure its successful implementation; however there is no assurance that the design will meet our current and future business needs or that it will operate as designed.  We are heavily dependent on such computer systems, and any failure or delay in the system implementation would cause a substantial interruption to our business, additional expense, and loss of sales, customers, and profits.

If we are unable to acquire companies, businesses or technologies as part of our growth strategy or to successfully integrate past acquisitions, our growth, sales and profitability could suffer.

A significant portion of our recent growth has been the result of acquisitions of other companies, businesses and technologies.  In October 2005, we announced our intention to refocus our business solely on aesthetic medicine and we sold our surgical urology and clinical and consumer health businesses in June 2006.  This refocus consumed a significant amount of management attention and may have distracted and may continue to distract us from pursuing acquisition opportunities in the short term.  We intend to continue to acquire other businesses and technologies to facilitate our future business strategies.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify appropriate acquisition candidates, consummate transactions or obtain agreements with terms favorable to us.  For example, in November 2005, we made an unsolicited offer to acquire Medicis, Inc. (which was at the time subject to an acquisition agreement with Inamed) that was rejected.  We may incur substantial expenses in connection with our acquisition activities, even if the transaction is not completed, such as the approximately $3.4 million in expenses incurred related to the offer to acquire Medicis.  Once a business is acquired, any inability to integrate the business, failure to retain and develop its workforce, or establish and maintain appropriate communications, performance expectations, regulatory compliance procedures, accounting controls, and reporting procedures could adversely affect our future sales and earnings.

We may suffer from disruptions to our business and information technology systems and be unable to retain employees as a result of the June 2006 sale of our Urology Business to Coloplast.

In October 2005, we announced our intention to refocus our business solely on aesthetic medicine, and we completed the sale of our surgical urology and clinical and consumer health businesses to Coloplast in June 2006.  As a result of the transition of employees, information technology services, facilities and customers to Coloplast, our business may be disrupted.  For example, we may experience difficulty with our enterprise resource planning system due to the separation of the Urology Business segment from our existing system. 

We are obligated to provide specified transition services to Coloplast and our ability to complete our own planned projects may suffer if the resource requirements for providing those services exceeds our expectations.

We are obligated to provide a variety of transition services to Coloplast in connection  with their acquisition of our Urology Business for up to 12 months.  The demands on us associated with providing these services may outpace our expectations and we may be obligated to devote more resources than we expect to provide the services, and may divert management's attention. 

 

23




We agreed to indemnify Coloplast against specified losses in connection with Coloplast's purchase of our Urology Business and any demands for indemnification may result in expenses we do not anticipate and distract the attention of our management from our continuing businesses.

We have agreed to indemnify Coloplast against specified losses in connection with the June 2006 sale of our Urology Business and generally retain responsibility for various legal liabilities that accrue prior to closing.  We also made representations and warranties to Coloplast about the condition of our Urology Business, including matters relating to intellectual property, regulatory compliance and environmental laws.  If Coloplast makes an indemnification claim because it has suffered a loss or a third party has commenced an action against Coloplast, we may incur substantial expenses resolving Coloplast's claim or defending Coloplast and ourselves against the third party action, which would harm our operating results.  In addition, our ability to defend ourselves may be impaired because our former Urology Business employees are now employees of Coloplast and our management may have to devote a substantial amount of time to resolving the claim, and, as we are no longer in the Urology Business, will not be able to readily offer products, service and intellectual property in settlement.  In addition, these indemnity claims may divert management attention from aesthetics business.  It may also be difficult to determine whether a claim from a third party stemmed from actions taken by us or Coloplast and we may expend substantial resources trying to determine which party has responsibility for the claim.

We may not realize some of the benefits of the Coloplast transaction.

We anticipate that we will be able to utilize approximately $7.9 million of foreign tax credits resulting from the Coloplast transaction.  While Coloplast has agreed to indemnify us for the availability of up to $7.1 million of these tax credits, we cannot be sure that we will be able to utilize those tax credits before they expire due to any number of factors including, but not limited to, whether the credits expire due to changes in ownership in excess of the applicable tax rules, sufficient income in the jurisdictions in which we have the credits and other possible reasons the tax credits might be disallowed.  Although Coloplast has agreed to indemnify Mentor for $7.1 million of the foreign tax credits, if the foreign tax credits are disallowed and we are not able to recover from Coloplast, we may not be able to realize the full amount, or any, of those tax credits.

We may not be successful in transitioning our business to focus solely on aesthetic medicine, which may harm our prospects and operating results.

As of June 2006, we completed the divestiture of our Urology Business, and our continuing business is now focused on aesthetic medicine.  We may not successfully improve our operating margins despite the divestiture of our Urology Business to be consistent with those of competitive companies focused solely on aesthetic medicine.  In addition, we may be unsuccessful at broadening the focus of our sales force to physicians practicing aesthetic medicine other than plastic surgeons.  In order to successfully increase our sales presence to those physicians, we will be required to develop internally or purchase additional products that will meet the needs of those physicians and obtain regulatory approval to sell those products.  For example, we have announced a delay in the anticipated date for submission of our Puragen Plus products to the FDA, which product would be marketed to dermatologists as well as plastic surgeons.

State legislatures and taxing authorities may create new laws or change their interpretation of existing state and local tax laws that may affect future product demand or create unforeseen tax liabilities.

If any state legislature or other government authority creates new laws to assess sales taxes on medical procedures determined by them to be cosmetic, our physician and patient customers may have to pay more for our products and future demand may decrease.  In addition, if taxing authorities determine that our products are cosmetic and thus taxable based on their interpretations of existing tax laws or that our products are otherwise taxable, they may disallow currently available exemptions related to medical products and procedures.  Such taxing authorities may then determine that we owe additional taxes related to product sales from prior periods.  These determinations would have a negative effect on our results of operations.

24




If our intellectual property rights do not adequately protect our products or technologies, others could compete against us more directly, which would hurt our profitability.

Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain patents or rights to patents, protect trade secrets, operate without infringing upon the proprietary rights of others, and prevent others from infringing on our patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights.  We will be able to protect our intellectual property from unauthorized use by third parties only to the extent that it is covered by valid and enforceable patents, trademarks or licenses.  Patent protection generally involves complex legal and factual questions and, therefore, enforceability of patent rights cannot be predicted with certainty; thus, any patents that we own or license from others may not provide us with adequate protection against competitors.  Moreover, the laws of certain foreign countries do not recognize intellectual property rights or protect them to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. 

In addition to patents and trademarks, we rely on trade secrets and proprietary know-how.  We seek protection of these rights, in part, through confidentiality and proprietary information agreements.  These agreements may not provide sufficient protection or adequate remedies for violation of our rights in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential and proprietary information.  Failure to protect our proprietary rights could seriously impair our competitive position.

If third parties claim we are infringing their intellectual property rights, we could suffer significant litigation, indemnification, or licensing expenses or be prevented from marketing our products.

Our commercial success depends significantly on our ability to operate without infringing the patents and other proprietary rights of others.  However, regardless of our intent, our current or future technologies of our existing operations or those current technologies of our discontinued operations, may infringe upon the patents or violate other proprietary rights of third parties.  In the event of such infringement or violation, we may face expensive litigation or indemnification obligations and may be prevented from selling existing products and pursuing product development or commercialization.

We depend on single and sole source suppliers for certain raw materials and licensed or manufactured products and the loss of any supplier could adversely affect our ability to manufacture or sell many of our products.

We currently rely on single or sole source suppliers for raw materials used in many of our products, including silicone.  In the event that they cannot meet our requirements, we cannot guarantee that we would be able to obtain a sufficient amount of quality raw materials in a timely manner.  We also depend on third party manufacturers and suppliers for components and licensed products.  In connection with the sale of our Urology Business to Coloplast, we have entered into a supply agreement with Coloplast for certain components of our breast implant products.  For the short-term, Coloplast would be our sole source for these components, and if we were unable to obtain the supply, our business would be harmed.  We may determine that we do not want to continue to purchase products from Coloplast or Coloplast may be unable to meet our needs in a timely manner, either of which may disrupt our business during the period we negotiate a supply agreement with and qualify the manufacturing process of a third party or begin production of the components ourselves.  In addition, we depend on Niadyne, Inc. for the supply of NIA-24 and if we were no longer able to satisfy demand for this product through our relationship with Niadyne, our business could be harmed.  If there is a disruption in the supply of any of these single or sole source products, our future sales and profitability would be adversely affected. 

 

25




Our international business exposes us to a number of risks.

More than one-quarter of our sales for our continuing operations are derived from international operations.  Accordingly, any material decrease in foreign sales would have a material adverse effect on our overall sales and profitability.  Most of our international sales are denominated in Euros, British Pounds, Canadian dollars or U.S. dollars.  Depreciation or devaluation of the local currencies of countries where we sell our products may result in our products becoming more expensive in local currency terms, thus reducing demand, which could have an adverse effect on our operating results.  Our operations and financial results may be adversely affected by other international factors, including:

  • foreign government regulation of medical products;
  • product liability, intellectual property and other claims;
  • new export license requirements;
  • political or economic instability in our target markets;
  • trade restrictions;
  • changes in tax laws and tariffs;
  • managing foreign distributors and manufacturers;
  • managing foreign branch offices and staffing; and
  • completion.

Health care reimbursement or reform legislation could materially affect our business.

If any national health care reform or other legislation or regulations are passed that imposes limits on the amount of reimbursement for certain types of medical procedures or products, or on the number or type of medical procedures that may be performed, or that has the effect of restricting a physician's ability to select specific products for use in patient procedures, such changes could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our products.  Our revenues partially depend on U.S. and foreign government health care programs and private health insurers reimbursing patients' medical expenses.  Physicians, hospitals, and other health care providers may not purchase our products if they do not receive satisfactory reimbursement from these third-party payers for the cost of procedures using our products.  In the U.S., there have been, and we expect that there will continue to be, a number of federal and state legislative and regulatory proposals to implement greater governmental control over the healthcare industry and its related costs.  These proposals create uncertainty as to the future of our industry and may have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise capital or to form collaborations.  In a number of foreign markets, the pricing and profitability of healthcare products are subject to governmental influence or control.  In addition, legislation or regulations that impose restrictions on the price that may be charged for healthcare products or medical devices may adversely affect our sales and profitability.

 

26




If our use of hazardous materials result in contamination or injury, we could suffer significant financial loss.

We are subject to federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations.  Our manufacturing and research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous materials, chemicals and biological materials, which require compliance with various laws and regulations regarding the use, storage, and disposal of such materials.  We believe our continuing and discontinued operations comply in all material respects with applicable environmental laws and regulations in each country where we have a business presence.  Although we continue to make expenditures for environmental protection, we do not anticipate any additional significant expenditures, in complying with such laws and regulations, that would have a material impact on our earnings or competitive position.  We are not aware of any pending litigation or significant financial obligations arising from current or past environmental practices that are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position.  We cannot assure, however, that environmental claims or indemnification obligations relating to our continuing or discontinued operations, or properties currently or previously owned or operated by us will not develop in the future, nor can we predict whether any such claims, if they were to develop, would require significant expenditures on our part.  We cannot eliminate the risk of accidental contamination or injury from these materials.  In the event of an accident or environmental discharge, we may be held liable for any resulting damages, which may exceed our financial resources and any applicable insurance coverage.  In addition, we are unable to predict what legislation or regulations may be adopted or enacted in the future with respect to environmental protection and waste disposal.

We are subject to regulation by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and other state and local environmental agencies in each of our domestic manufacturing facilities.  For example, in Texas, we are subject to regulation by the local Air Pollution Control District as a result of some of the chemicals used in our manufacturing processes.  Prior to the June 2, 2006 Coloplast transaction, we were also subject to regulation by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission in our Oklahoma facility due to the manufacture and distribution of brachytherapy seeds using radioactive iodine I-125 and palladium Pd-103.  We may have continuing liability for any violations which arose prior to the Coloplast transaction.  In our Wisconsin facility, we are also subject to regulation by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control, due to the nature of the biological agent used to manufacture our botulinum toxin product, Clostridium botulinum type A, which is still in the development phase.  Failure to comply with the regulations and requirements of these various agencies could affect our ability to manufacture products and may have a significant negative impact on sales and results of operations.

Future changes in financial accounting standards may cause adverse unexpected revenue or expense fluctuations and affect our reported results of operations.

A change in accounting standards could have a significant effect on our reported results and may even affect our reporting of transactions completed before the change is effective.  New pronouncements and varying interpretations of existing pronouncements have occurred and may occur in the future.  Changes to existing rules or current practices may adversely affect our reported financial results and require restatement of previously issued results for retroactive application of the new accounting standard.  This was evidenced by the adoption of EITF 04-8 in the quarter ended December 2004, resulting in the restatement of diluted earnings per share and weighted average shares outstanding, for fiscal year 2004 and the interim periods ending June 30, and September 30, 2004.

Changes in the accounting treatment of stock-based awards will adversely affect our reported results of operations.

In December 2004 the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, or SFAS 123(R), which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, or SFAS 123.  SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their grant date fair values and does not allow the previously permitted disclosure-only method as an alternative to financial statement recognition.  Effective April 1, 2006 we adopted SFAS 123(R).

 

27




The adoption of the SFAS 123(R) fair value method will have a significant adverse impact on our reported results of operations because the stock-based compensation expense will be charged directly against our reported earnings.  If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested securities, we may be required to accelerate, increase or cancel any remaining unearned stock-based compensation expense.  To the extent that we grant additional equity securities to employees or assume unvested securities in connection with any acquisitions, our stock-based compensation expense will be increased by the additional unearned compensation resulting from those additional grants or acquisitions.  We anticipate we will grant additional employee stock options and restricted stock in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 as part of our regular annual equity compensation program.  The fair value of these grants is not included in the amount above, as the impact of these grants cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on the number of share-based payments granted as part of the focal review program and the then current fair values.

Had we adopted SFAS 123(R) in prior periods, the magnitude of the impact of that standard on our results of operations would have approximated the impact of SFAS 123 assuming the application of the Black-Scholes option pricing model as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income  and pro forma net income  per share in Note G of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.  SFAS 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature.  This requirement may reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after its adoption.

Hedging transactions and other transactions may affect the value of the notes.

In connection with the original issuance of our 2¾% convertible subordinated notes in December 2003, we entered into convertible note hedge and warrant transactions with respect to our common stock, with Credit Suisse First Boston International, an affiliate of Credit Suisse First Boston LLC, the initial purchaser of the notes, to reduce the potential dilution from conversion of the notes up to a price of our common stock of approximately $39.26 per share.  In connection with these hedging arrangements, Credit Suisse First Boston International, and/or its affiliates, has taken and, we expect, will continue to take positions in our common stock in secondary market transactions and/or will enter into various derivative transactions.  Such hedging arrangements could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.  In addition, the existence of the notes may encourage short selling in our common stock by market participants because the conversion of the notes could depress the price of our common stock.

Litigation may harm our business or otherwise distract our management.

Substantial, complex or extended litigation could cause us to incur large expenditures and distract our management, and could result in significant monetary or equitable judgments against us.  For example, lawsuits by employees, patients, customers, licensors, licensees, suppliers, business partners, distributors, shareholders, or competitors could be very costly and could substantially disrupt our business.  Disputes from time to time with such companies or individuals are not uncommon, and we cannot assure that we will always be able to resolve such disputes out of court or on terms favorable to us.

Our publicly-filed SEC reports are reviewed by the SEC from time to time and any significant changes required as a result of any such review may result in material liability to us and have a material adverse impact on the trading price of our common stock.

The reports of publicly-traded companies are subject to review by the SEC from time to time for the purpose of assisting companies in complying with applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall effectiveness of companies public filings, and comprehensive reviews by the SEC of such reports are now required at least every three years under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  SEC reviews often occur at the time companies file registration statements such as the registration statement we filed in connection with our convertible note offering, but reviews may also be initiated at any time by the SEC.  While we believe that our previously filed SEC reports comply, and we intend that all future reports will comply in all material respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC, we could be required to modify or reformulate information contained in prior filings as a result of an SEC review.  Any modification or reformulation of information contained in such reports could be significant and result in material liability to us and have a material adverse impact on the trading price of our securities, including our common stock or our convertible notes.

Our operating results may fluctuate substantially, and could precipitate unexpected movement in the price of our common stock and convertible notes. 

Our common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "MNT."  On March 31, 2006, the closing price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange was $45.31 per share.  On December 22, 2003, we completed an offering of $150 million of convertible subordinated notes ("notes") due January 1, 2024 pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.  The notes bear interest at 2¾% per annum, are convertible into shares of our common stock at an adjusted conversion price of $29.167 per share and are subordinated to all existing and future senior debt.  The market prices of our stock and convertible securities are subject to significant fluctuations in response to the factors set forth above and other factors, many of which are beyond our control including such factors as changes in pricing policies by our competitors and the timing of significant orders and shipments.

Such factors, as well as other economic conditions, may adversely affect the market price of our securities, including our common stock and convertible notes.  There could be periods in which we experience shortfalls in revenue and/or earnings from levels expected by securities analysts and investors, which could have an immediate and significant adverse effect on the trading price of our securities, including our common stock and our convertible notes.

Our property in The Netherlands is pledged as collateral on borrowings under a Loan and Overdraft Facility with Cooperative RaboBank Leiden.  See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" under Item 7A - "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for additional information.  Our leases have terms ranging from 1 to 15 years, many of which have options to renew on terms we consider favorable.  In addition to the facilities mentioned above, we have international sales offices throughout eight countries where we lease office and warehouse space ranging from 1,000 to 8,000 square feet.  We anticipate that we will be able to extend or renew the leases that expire in the near future on terms satisfactory to us, or if necessary, locate substitute facilities on acceptable terms.

We believe our facilities are generally suitable and adequate to accommodate our current operations and additional suitable facilities are readily available to accommodate future expansion as necessary.

For information regarding lease obligations see Note N "Commitments" under "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements."

ITEM 3.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

On March 4, 2004, John H. Alico, et. al., d/b/a PTF Royalty Partnership ("PTF") filed a lawsuit against us in the Business Litigation Session of the Superior Court of Massachusetts, Suffolk County in which PTF alleges, among other things, breach of a merger agreement that involved our acquisition of Mentor O&O, Inc. ("O&O"), an unrelated entity at that time, which was dated as of March 14, 1990 ("Merger Agreement") (prior to the merger, O&O had no affiliation with us).  PTF alleges that we breached the terms of the Merger Agreement by failing to exert commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to obtain approval by the FDA for a product used for the treatment of urinary incontinence and by failing to accurately account for and pay royalties due thereunder.  PTF seeks damages in excess of $18 million, which is the maximum amount of royalties PTF could have received under the Merger Agreement.  After almost ten years, in or about January 2001, we elected to discontinue pursuing FDA approval for the product, given the FDA's repeated and ongoing concerns regarding the product's use for urinary incontinence.  We complied with all of our obligations under the Merger Agreement, which specifically provided that we were under no obligation to engage in efforts or expenditures in respect of the product which we in good faith deemed to be inadvisable based on various factors.  Accordingly, we intend to vigorously defend the lawsuit.  Dr. Richard Young, who was a member of our Board of Directors from March 1990 until his retirement on March 1, 2006, was also a partner of PTF and was a named plaintiff in the above action.  Dr. Young was a shareholder and principal of O&O prior to the merger and was instrumental in facilitating the transition after the merger.  Pursuant to Dr. Young's request, the PTF Partnership Agreement was amended to permit withdrawal of partners from the PTF Royalty Partnership upon notice.  On June 3, 2005, Dr. Young submitted his notice of withdrawal to the Partnership, and a joint stipulation removing Dr. Young from the caption of the complaint and as a named party to the litigation was entered by the court in June 2005.

In addition, in the ordinary course of our business we experience other varied types of claims that sometimes result in litigation or other legal proceedings.  Although there can be no certainty, we do not anticipate that any of these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on us.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

 

Our Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program, primarily to offset the dilutive effect of our employee stock option plans, to provide liquidity to the market and to reduce the overall number of shares outstanding.  All shares repurchased under the program are retired and are no longer deemed to be outstanding.  The timing of repurchases is subject to market conditions, cash availability, and blackout periods during which we are restricted from repurchasing shares.  On May 31, 2006 we amended our Credit Agreement to expand the amount of equity securities we can repurchase to $250 million plus a subsequent amount during any four consecutive quarters equal to our consolidated net income less dividends paid for the preceding four quarters.  On June 5, 2006, we repurchased 2.0 million shares for a total of $84 million from an investment partnership managed by ValueAct Capital, whose managing director, Mr. Jeff Ubben, is a member of our Board of Directors.  The repurchase of these shares was pre-approved by our Audit Committee and the majority of our Board of Directors with interested parties abstaining or not in attendance.  As a result of this repurchase, 3.3 million shares remain authorized for repurchase, and $166.0 million plus additional amounts equivalent to our consolidated net income, less dividends, remains available under our Credit Agreement limitations.  The table below sets forth certain share repurchase information for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

a.     In the first quarter of fiscal 1996, our Board of Director's authorized an ongoing stock repurchase program.  The initial authorization was for the repurchase of up to one million shares.  Subsequently the Board of directors has authorized the repurchase of an additional 24.2 million shares including 5.0 million, 2.2 million and 5.0 shares in March 2006, May 2003 and December 2003, respectively.  These share amounts have been adjusted for the two-for-one stock split affected December 2002. 

b.     We have not set a date for the stock repurchase program to expire.

We intend to repurchase shares during fiscal 2007 through a plan under Rule 10b5-1, which we anticipate adopting during the first quarter fiscal 2007.  The first purchases under the 10b5-1 plan will not occur until after the public announcement of our results for the quarter ending June 30, 2006.  We cannot estimate or guarantee the amount of shares to be repurchased under this plan.

ITEM 7.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

The following discussion should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes, which are included in this report, and the information in the "Item 1A. Risk Factors" section of this report. 

OVERVIEW

We develop, manufacture and market a range of products serving the aesthetic medicine market, including plastic and reconstructive surgery.  Our products include surgically implantable prosthesis for plastic and reconstructive surgery, as well as capital equipment and consumables used for soft tissue aspiration for body contouring (liposuction).  Historically, we operated in three reportable segments:  aesthetic and general surgery, surgical urology, and clinical and consumer healthcare.  Our surgical and urology products included surgically implantable prostheses for the treatment of impotence, surgically implantable incontinence products, urinary care products and brachytherapy seeds for the treatment of prostate cancer.  Our clinical and consumer healthcare products included catheters and other products for the management or urinary incontinence and retention.  In October 2005, we began to evaluate strategic alternatives for our surgical urology and clinical and consumer healthcare businesses.  On May 17, 2006, we entered into a definitive purchase agreement to sell our Urology Business to Coloplast A/S for total consideration of $463 million ($456 million in cash and the remainder consisting of the value of certain foreign tax credits that we expect to realize arising from the transaction prior to the close).  On June 2, 2006, the sale of the Urology Business was completed.  On June 1, 2006, our Porges SAS subsidiary sold certain intellectual property to Coloplast for $52 million, which is included in the total consideration of $463 million.  The purchase price is subject to a post-closing adjustment based on the working capital of the acquired business as of the closing date, and a downward reduction in an amount equal to 50% of the amount of certain transfer taxes and related fees incurred in connection with the transaction, 50% of the cost of severance obligations in respect of certain former employees of the Urology Business who will not continue with the Urology Business following the closing of the transaction, and certain other administrative costs.

The purchase agreement with Coloplast contains customary representations and warranties and indemnification provisions whereby each party agrees to indemnify the other for breaches of representations and warranties, breaches of covenants and other matters, with our liability for breaches of representations and warranties generally limited to 15% of the purchase price.  Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, an escrow fund was established with $10 million withheld from the purchase price to secure our indemnification obligations with respect to any breaches of our representations and warranties for a period of 18 months.  In addition, the purchase agreement provides that we will not enter into or engage in a business that competes with the Urology Business, on a worldwide basis, for a period of seven years following the closing of the transaction.  These restrictions on competition do not apply to (i) the development, manufacture or sale of any oral pharmaceuticals or any product or treatments involving dermal fillers or other bulking agents or toxins, including botulinum toxins, or (ii) any business acquired and operated by us or our affiliates for so long as any such businesses generate less than $5 million in aggregate annual revenues from any competing business.  These restrictions on competition terminate upon a change in control of Mentor.

In connection with the sale to Coloplast, we also entered into a Transition Services Agreement and various supply agreements.  Pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, in exchange for specified fees, we will provide to Coloplast and Coloplast will provide to us, services including accounting, information technology, customer support and use of facilities.  Under the supply agreements we will supply various products, including silicone gel-filled testicular implants to Coloplast and Coloplast will supply us with components for the manufacture of our breast implants.  These services agreements are expected to extend through a period not to exceed twelve months and the supply agreements range from a period of 6 - 36 months.  These services and supply agreements are not expected to have a significant impact on our future cash flows from continuing operations.

34




On June 2, 2006, we also completed the sale of our intellectual property, raw materials and tangible assets for the production of silicone male external catheters relating to our catheter production facility in Anoka, Minnesota and our inventory of such catheters to Rochester Medical Corporation, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.6 million. 

As a result of the sale to Coloplast, the assets and liabilities related to the Urology Business have been segregated from continuing operations and are reported as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  In addition, operations associated with the Urology Business have been classified as income from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.  Prior to being designated as discontinued operations, the Urology Business contributed approximately 47% of our consolidated net sales and approximately 27% of our operating profit in fiscal year 2006.  We will record a net gain on the sale of our Urology Business in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.  As a result of this sale, we will be able to focus on the aesthetic medicine market.  We intend to leverage our traditional strengths in plastic surgery and grow our market presence in cosmetic dermatology.

 

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations addresses our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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.  On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments.  We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. 

 

We believe the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize product revenue, net of discounts, returns, and rebates in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 48, "Revenue Recognition When the Right of Return Exists," and Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, "Revenue Recognition."

 

As required by these standards, revenue is recorded when persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the buyer's price is fixed or determinable, contractual obligations have been satisfied, and collectibility is reasonably assured.  These requirements are met, and sales and related cost of sales are recognized, upon the shipment of products, or in the case of consignment inventories, upon the notification of usage by the customer.  We record estimated reductions to revenue for customer programs and other volume-based incentives.  Should the actual level of customer participation in these programs differ from those estimated, additional adjustments to revenue may be required.  We also allow credit for products returned within our policy terms.  We record an allowance for estimated returns at the time of sale based on historical experience, recent gross sales levels and any notification of pending returns.  Should the actual returns differ from those estimated, additional adjustments to revenue and cost of sales may be required.

 

Our deferred revenue consists of both current and long term and includes funds received in connection with sales of our Enhanced Advantage Breast Implant Limited Warranty program.  The fees received in connection with a sale of an Enhanced Advantage Breast Implant Limited Warranty are deferred and recognized as revenue evenly over the life of the warranty term.

 

35




Accounts Receivable

 

We market our products to a diverse customer base, principally throughout the United States, Canada, Western Europe, Central and South America, and the Pacific Rim.  We grant credit terms in the normal course of business to our customers, primarily hospitals, doctors and distributors.  We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon payment history and the customer's current credit worthiness, as determined through review of their current credit information.  We continuously monitor collections and payments from customers and maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of some of our customers to make required payments.  Estimated losses are based on historical experience and any specifically identified customer collection issues.  If the financial condition of our customers, or the economy as whole, were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of our customers' ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.  These additional allowances for estimated losses would be included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

Inventories

 

We value our inventory at the lower of cost, based on the first-in first-out ("FIFO") cost method, or the current estimated market value of the inventory.  We write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.  If actual future demand or market conditions differ from those projected by us, additional inventory valuation adjustments may be required.  These additional valuation adjustments would be included in cost of sales.

 

Warranty Reserves

We offer two types of warranties relating to our breast implants in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico: a standard limited warranty which is offered at no additional charge and an enhanced limited warranty at an additional charge of $100 in the U.S. ($100 CAD in Canada), which provide limited financial assistance in the event of a deflation or rupture.  Our standard limited warranty is also offered in certain European and other international countries for silicone gel-filled breast implants.  We provide an accrual for the estimated cost of breast implant warranties at the time revenue is recognized.  Costs related to warranties are recorded in cost of sales.  The estimated cost of the standard limited warranty is recorded as an expense at the time of sale, whereas the estimated cost of the enhanced limited warranty is deferred and recognized over the term of the enhanced limited warranty which approximates costs as incurred.  Such accruals are based on estimates, which are based on relevant factors such as unit sales, historical experience, the limited warranty period, estimated costs, and, to a limited extent, information developed by our insurance company using actuarial techniques.  These accruals are analyzed periodically for adequacy.  While we engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of our component suppliers, the warranty obligation is affected by reported rates of warranty claims and levels of financial assistance specified in the limited warranties.  Should actual patient claim rates reported differ from our estimates, adjustments to the estimated warranty liability may be required.  These adjustments would be included in cost of sales.

Product Liability Reserves

We have product liability reserves for product-related claims to the extent those claims may result in litigation expenses, settlements or judgments within our self-insured retention limits.  We have also established additional reserves, through our wholly-owned captive insurance company, for estimated liabilities for product-related claims based on actuarially determined estimated liabilities, taking also into account our excess insurance coverages.  The actuarial valuations are based on historical information and certain assumptions about future events.  Product liability costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses as they are directly under the control of our General Counsel and other general and administrative staff and are directly impacted by our overall corporate risk management strategy.  Should actual product liability experience differ from the estimates and assumptions used to develop these reserves, subsequent changes in reserves will be recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses, and may affect our operating results in future periods. 

36




Goodwill and Intangible Asset Impairment

We evaluate long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangibles, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.  In addition, we evaluate goodwill and other intangibles annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.  In assessing the recoverability of goodwill and other intangibles, we must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets.  We adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," effective April 1, 2002 and analyzed goodwill and intangibles for impairment.  Impairment tests were performed at adoption, and in the fourth quarter of fiscal years 2003, 2004 and 2006, and no impairment was noted as a result of these analyses.  The impairment tests performed in fiscal 2005 indicated certain impaired assets, for which we recorded impairment charges in fiscal 2005.  These impairment charges are included in the results of operations. See Note I - - "Intangible Assets and Goodwill" of the "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements."

 

Stock-Based Compensation Expense for Fiscal 2007 and Thereafter

 

Effective April 1, 2006 we adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, or SFAS 123(R). SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments, including grants of stock options, restricted stock units and employee stock purchase rights, to be recognized in our financial statements based on their respective grant date fair values. Under this standard, the fair value of each employee stock option and employee stock purchase right is estimated on the date of grant using an option pricing model that meets certain requirements. We currently use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of our share-based payments.  The Black-Scholes model meets the requirements of SFAS 123(R) but the fair values generated by the model may not be indicative of the actual fair values of our stock-based awards as it does not consider certain factors important to stock-based awards, such as continued employment and periodic vesting requirements and limited transferability.  The determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards utilizing the Black-Scholes model is affected by our stock price and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends.  We use the implied volatility for traded options on our stock as the expected volatility assumption required in the Black-Scholes model.  Our selection of the implied volatility approach is based on the availability of data regarding actively traded options on our stock as we believe that implied volatility is more representative than historical volatility.  The expected life of the stock options is based on historical and other economic data trended into the future.  The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the terms of our stock options and stock purchase rights.  The dividend yield assumption is based on our history and expectation of dividend payouts.  The fair value of our restricted stock units is based on the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.  Stock-based compensation expense recognized in our financial statements in fiscal 2006 and thereafter is based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest.  The amount of stock-based compensation expense in fiscal 2007 and thereafter will be reduced for estimated forfeitures based on historical experience.  Forfeitures are required to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.  We will evaluate the assumptions used to value stock awards on a quarterly basis.  If factors change and we employ different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the past.  If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested securities, we may be required to accelerate, increase or cancel any remaining unearned stock-based compensation expense.  To the extent that we grant additional equity securities to employees or we assume unvested securities in connection with any acquisitions, our stock-based compensation expense will be increased by the additional unearned compensation resulting from those additional grants or acquisitions.  Had we adopted SFAS 123(R) in prior periods, the magnitude of the impact of that standard on our results of operations would have approximated the impact of SFAS 123 assuming the application of the Black-Scholes option pricing model as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and pro forma net income per share in Note G of our "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements".

YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2006 AND 2005

 

Sales

 

Net sales increased 7% to $268.3 million from $251.7 million in the prior year.  Net sales of breast implant products increased 7% to $233.2 million from $217.4 million in the prior year.  The majority of the increase in breast implant product sales is attributable to organic growth in unit sales of our breast implants and associated products. Foreign exchange rate movements, primarily the Euro, had a minimal year-to-year impact on international net sales.  Increased net sales were driven by growth in the reconstruction markets both domestically and internationally.  We saw overall growth in unit sales of breast implant products of approximately 7%.  Although we try to avoid competing on price, we continued to see competitive price pressure in both the domestic and international markets for breast implants.  Net sales of body contouring products decreased 4% to $17.8 million from $18.6 million in the prior year.  Liposuction continues to be the leading surgical cosmetic procedure in the United States; however, we have seen some recent softness in sales growth in our body contouring business.  We have seen some variability in capital equipment purchasing patterns, specifically in our ultrasonically assisted product line, and we are in the process of defining our strategy to improve growth in this business.  Other aesthetic products net sales increased 10% to $17.3 million from $15.7 million in the prior year, primarily as a result of increased revenue from our facial aesthetics products, including Puragen™, which was launched in a variety of international markets in May 2005.  We expect our net sales to increase to approximately $290 - $305 million in fiscal 2007.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales for fiscal 2006 remained relatively unchanged at 25.8% of net sales, compared to 25.7% in fiscal 2005.  Cost of sales had some variations in quarterly results primarily due to timing of the building of silicone gel breast implant inventory in anticipation of potential FDA approval.

 

38




Selling, General and Administrative

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $14.6 million to $101.0 million, or 37.7% of net sales, in fiscal 2006 compared to $86.4 million, or 34.3% of net sales, in fiscal 2005.  During fiscal 2006, we incurred approximately $3.4 million of legal and professional fees related to an unsolicited offer to acquire Medicis Inc., which did not materialize.  We did not incur any similar fees during fiscal 2005.  Also contributing to the increased expenses was (i) an increase of approximately $2.0 million in costs associated with our global facial aesthetics selling and marketing efforts in support of our hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler product, Puragen™, (ii) an increase of approximately $1.8 million in costs associated with the expansion of our domestic sales force, (iii) higher levels of expenses at our foreign sales subsidiaries of approximately $1.8, (iv) an increase of approximately $1.6 million related to increased sales and marketing efforts focusing on our international markets, (v) an increase of approximately $1.5 million in compensation expense related to the issuance of restricted stock grants, and (vi) an increase of approximately $0.9 million in our patient and physician education programs.  To a lesser extent, increased personnel costs in support of sales and marketing contributed to the year over year increase.  The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was partially offset by a decrease in performance-related compensation of approximately $2.9 million and the completion of our direct-to-consumer television advertising program related to our breast implant products, resulting in decreased expenses of approximately $1.4 million.

 

We expect selling, general and administrative expenses to significantly increase in fiscal 2007 as a result of our adoption of SFAS 123(R) effective April 1, 2006.  However, the amount of the increase cannot be predicted because it will depend on the number of share-based payments granted in fiscal 2007 and the then current fair values.

 

In addition, during fiscal 2007 we anticipate that we will incur various severance and other restructuring-related charges associated with our transition to a company focused on aesthetic medicine, which we also expect to result in higher selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development spending primarily supports our key strategic product development programs.

 

Research and development expenses in fiscal 2006 increased $3.8 million to $29.0 million from $25.2 million in fiscal 2005.  The increase in research and development spending was primarily to support key strategic product development programs, including our silicone gel-filled breast implant regulatory submissions in the United States and Canada, our botulinum toxin project, U.S. clinical studies for our hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler product, Puragen™, and the continued development of automated manufacturing technologies. 

 

We continue to be committed to a variety of clinical studies and laboratory tests in connection with our silicone gel-filled and saline-filled mammary implants and other products.  

 

Severance Charges

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, two individuals resigned as directors and executive officers of the Company.  In connection with their resignation and severance agreements, we incurred $8.5 million in expenses, comprised of $4.1 million in cash expense and $4.4 million in non-cash expense. 

Restructuring and Long-Lived Asset Impairment Charges 

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005, we incurred $1.7 million in expenses related to restructuring of certain of our operations to achieve improved efficiencies and certain long-lived assets that were determined to be impaired.  The restructuring charges totaled $1.4 million and the impairment charges totaled $0.3 million. 

 

39




Interest and Other Income and Expense

Interest expense increased to $5.7 million in fiscal 2006, compared to $5.1 million in fiscal 2005.  These costs included interest on our $150 million convertible subordinated notes at 2¾% issued in December 2003, interest expense on balances outstanding under our foreign lines of credit, commitment fees on our credit facilities and amortization of debt issuance costs.  The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to higher commitment fees and was partially offset by lower borrowings on our international facilities. 

Interest income increased $2.1 million to $4.1 million compared to $2.0 million in fiscal 2005, as a result of generally higher rates of interest and higher balances of cash and cash equivalents available for investment.

Other income primarily includes gains or losses on sales of marketable securities and foreign currency gains or losses related to our foreign operations.  Other income decreased to $0.2 million from $0.5 million in the prior year.  This decrease was the result of the increase in the Euro's relative strength compared to the U.S. dollar.

 

Income Taxes

 

Our effective rate of corporate income taxes was 29.0% in fiscal year 2006, a decrease of 2.8% of pretax income from the 31.8% rate in fiscal year 2005.  This decrease is a result of greater tax benefits associated with our foreign operations, lower state taxes and increased research and development credits.  In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2006, we repatriated $32.0 million in foreign profits, and estimated the tax liability on the repatriation was approximately $1.7 million. 

 

Net Income from Continuing Operations and Earnings Per Share

 

Net income from continuing operations in fiscal 2006 increased to $48.1 million from $42.8 million in fiscal 2005.  Earnings per share from continuing operations increased 9.8% to $1.12 per share in fiscal 2006 from $1.02 per share in fiscal 2005.  Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 8.6% to $1.00 for the fiscal year compared to $0.93 for fiscal 2005 as a result of additional net income, partially offset by a increase in diluted weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earning per share.

 

Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Taxes

Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, represents the results of our former surgical urology and clinical and consumer healthcare business segments, which were sold to Coloplast on June 2, 2006, as discussed above.  During fiscal 2006, income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, increased 18% to $14.3 million from $12.1 million in the prior year.  This increase is the result of an increase in net sales of $3.8 million, a decrease in cost of sales of $3.9 million, and a decrease in research and development expense of $1.9 million, partially offset by a $2.5 million increase in selling, general and administrative expense and a $4.2 million increase in income tax expense.  The increase in net sales was less than historic rates of growth due to the disruption as a result of the aforementioned sale process in the second half of the fiscal year, the negative impact of foreign exchange movements of $3.7 million, and the decrease of $1.9 million due to a planned reduction of OEM contract revenue from $5.7 million to $3.8 million.  Cost of sales decreased due to an improved manufacturing process, changes to a more profitable product mix following decreased OEM sales, and product rationalization.    The increased selling, general and administrative expenses were partially offset by decreased restructuring and long-term asset impairment charges recorded in the fourth quarter of the prior year, and a favorable impact of foreign exchange rate movements of $1.5 million.  Income tax expense related to discontinued operations increased due to an additional provision related to open audit issues.  For further details regarding discontinued operations, See Note T of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2005 AND 2004

 

Sales

During fiscal 2005, net sales increased 15% to $251.7 million from $218.4 million in the prior year.  Net sales of breast implant products increased 12% to $217.4 million from $194.1 million in the prior year.  Approximately $20.4 million of the increase in breast implant product sales was attributable to organic growth in unit sales of our breast implants and associated products and approximately $3.0 million was the result of a favorable impact of foreign exchange rate movements.  Increased net sales were driven by growth in the augmentation and reconstruction markets both domestically and internationally.  We saw overall growth in domestic unit sales of breast implant products of approximately 12%.  We continued to see competitive price pressure in both the domestic and international markets for breast implants.  Net sales of body contouring products increased 22% to $18.6 million from $15.3 million in the prior year.  Sales of our capital equipment, associated disposable products, and higher average selling prices were the leading contributors to our body contouring sales growth.  Other aesthetic products net sales increased 72% to $15.7 million in fiscal 2005 from $9.1 million in the prior year, primarily as a result of increased revenue from physician participation in our "Extreme Mentor" direct-to-consumer television advertising program which began in September 2004.

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales for fiscal 2005 was 25.7% of net sales, compared to 27.7% in fiscal 2004.   This decrease is primarily due to favorable pricing on raw materials and overall improved manufacturing efficiencies at our Texas and Netherlands facilities in fiscal 2005. 

 

Selling, General and Administrative

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $15.8 million to 34.3% of net sales in fiscal 2005 compared to 32.3% of net sales in fiscal 2004.  We had generally higher levels of expenses at our foreign sales and manufacturing subsidiaries of approximately $2.0, of which approximately $1.0 million reflected the effect of foreign currency rate movements, primarily the stronger Euro.  Also contributing to the increase was approximately $3.3 million in incentive compensation expenses associated with achieving specific operating targets, our direct to consumer television advertising program, which was launched in September 2004, of approximately $3.0 million, and higher legal related expenses of approximately $3.2 million due to increased litigation expenses and other legal and corporate matters.  In addition, to a lesser extent, increased costs associated with compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and increased support of sales and marketing contributed to the year over year increase. 

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses in fiscal 2005 increased $4.1 million to $25.2 million from $21.1 million in fiscal 2004.  The majority of the increase was attributable to increased support for our silicone gel-filled breast implant regulatory submissions in the United States and Canada, increased patient volume in our adjunct study, new clinical studies and laboratory testing for our hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler product, Puragen™, and our botulinum toxin project. 

 

Severance Charges

On February 16, 2005, Christopher J. Conway and Adel Michael each resigned as a director and executive officer of the Company.  In connection with resignation and severance agreements entered into with them, we incurred a total of $8.5 million in expenses in February 2005.

As one of the co-founders of our Company, and following 36 years of service, Mr. Conway received certain severance compensation in the form of cash payments totaling $2.3 million and non-cash benefits in the amount of $2.1 million related to the accelerated vesting of his unvested and unexpired stock options.  In addition, Mr. Adel Michael, our former Vice Chairman, received severance compensation in the form of cash benefits in the amount of $1.8 million and non-cash benefits in the amount of $2.3 million related to the accelerated vesting of his unvested and unexpired employee stock options.  There were no similar charges in fiscal 2004.

41




Restructuring and Long-Lived Asset Impairment Charges 

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005, we incurred $1.7 million in expenses related to restructuring of certain of our operations to achieve improved efficiencies and certain long-lived assets that were determined to be impaired.  The restructuring charges totaled $1.4 million and the impairment charges totaled $0.3 million.  There were no similar charges in fiscal 2004.

Interest and Other Income and Expense

 

Interest expense increased to $5.1 million in fiscal 2005, compared to $1.6 million in fiscal 2004.  Approximately $4.9 million of the fiscal 2005 expense related to the 2¾% coupon and issuance cost amortization for our $150 million convertible subordinated notes issued in December 2003.  The increase in interest expense was attributable to a full year of interest and amortization of issuance costs on these notes in fiscal 2005.  In fiscal 2004, interest expense included only four months of accrued interest payable and amortization of bond issue costs.  The remaining interest expense in fiscal 2005, was interest on balances outstanding under our foreign lines of credit, which benefited from lower rates of interest and lower levels of borrowings in fiscal 2005. 

 

Interest income increased to $2.0 million in fiscal 2005, from $1.6 million in fiscal 2004.  The increase was due to higher prevailing interest rates on short term investments, and slightly longer maturities, partially offset by lower levels of cash balances available for investment. 

 

Other income decreased to $0.5 million in fiscal 2005 from $1.0 million in the prior year.  This decrease was the result of the less favorable impact of the Euro's relative strength compared to the U.S. dollar, and a decrease in realized and unrealized gains and losses in our portfolio of marketable securities.  These decreases were partially offset by a one-time gain in fiscal 2005 of approximately $0.5 million relating to insurance proceeds received to cover lost sales margin on finished goods inventory that was damaged.

 

Income Taxes

 

Our effective rate of corporate income taxes remained relatively flat at  31.8% in fiscal year 2005 compared to 31.9%in fiscal year 2004.

 

Net Income from Continuing Operations and Earnings Per Share

 

Net income from continuing operations in fiscal 2005 decreased $3.0 million to $42.8 million from $45.8 million in fiscal 2004.  Earnings per share from continuing operations was  $1.02 per share in fiscal 2005 and $1.01 per share in fiscal 2004.  Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations decreased 2.1% to $0.93 for the fiscal year compared to a restated $0.95 for fiscal 2004.  (As required by EITF 04-8, we have retroactively restated diluted earnings per share figures for fiscal 2004 for the impact of our convertible subordinated notes issued in December 2003.)  The effect of share repurchases was offset by the dilutive effect to earnings per share following the adoption of EITF 04-8 which required the inclusion, for calculation purposes, of additional shares that are contingently issuable. 

 

Net income from continuing operations in fiscal 2005 decreased to $42.8 million from $45.8 million in fiscal 2004.  Increased net sales and lower cost of sales as a percentage of sales in fiscal 2005 were offset by higher operating expenses, including severance, restructuring and long-lived asset impairment charges, as well as higher interest expense resulting in net income from continuing operations being less than in fiscal 2004.

 

42




Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Taxes

Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, represents the results of our former surgical urology and clinical and consumer healthcare business segments, which were sold to Coloplast on June 2, 2006, as discussed above.  During fiscal 2005, income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, increased 34% to $12.1 million from $9.0 million in the prior year.  This increase is primarily the result of an increase in net sales of $27.9 million, partially offset by a $10.4 million increase in selling, general and administrative expense and a $2.5 million increase in income taxes.  The favorable impact of foreign exchange rate variations contributed approximately $8.8 million to the increase in sales while the remainder of the increase was due to continued market acceptance of our new products and/or line extensions, and an increase in unit sales for commodity type items.  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a result of restructuring and long-lived asset impairment charges of $6.8 million which were recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005.  Income taxes related to discontinued operations increased due to an increase in state and foreign taxes and decrease in R&D credits.  For further details regarding discontinued operations, See Note T of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Inflation

 

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our financial condition and results of operation for the reporting periods presented in this report.  We cannot be certain that inflation will not have a material adverse effect on our business in the future.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment".  As of April 1, 2006, SFAS No. 123(R) requires us to account for our stock options using a fair-value-based method as described in such statement and recognize the resulting compensation expense in our financial statements.  The majority of this compensation expense will be captured in selling, general and administrative expenses.  SFAS 123(R) will also require the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature.  This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption.  Prior to April 1, 2006, we accounted for our employee stock options using the intrinsic value method under APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations, which generally results in no employee stock option expense.  

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by operating activities and from the exercise of employee stock options has been our primary recurring source of funds.  We recently completed the sale of our Urology Business to Coloplast for total consideration of $463 million, which is subject to customary post-closing adjustments and includes non-cash consideration consisting of the value of certain foreign tax credits that Mentor expects to realize arising from the transaction prior to the close.  On the closing date of June 2, 2006, we received $446 million in cash from Coloplast, and an additional $10 million is held under an escrow agreement in connection with the transaction.  After expenses, we expect net after tax proceeds from the sale to be approximately $340 million.  We believe that existing funds, cash generated from continuing operations, and existing sources of and access to financing are adequate to satisfy our working capital, capital expenditure, and debt service requirements for the foreseeable future.  We believe that the loss of future cash flows from our discontinued surgical urology and clinical and consumer healthcare segments will not have a significant negative impact on our future finance levels, terms of financing or covenants.  Cash flows have been segregated between continuing operations and discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.  

43




As of March 31, 2006, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities of $201.0 million, an increase of $88.1 million or 78%, compared to $112.9 million as of March 31, 2005.  The principal components of the increase in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were cash generated from operating activities of continuing operations of $99.0 million, cash generated from operating activities of discontinued operations of $25.4 million, proceeds of $43.6 million from the exercise of employee stock options and stock purchases under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan, net borrowings under line of credit agreements of $13.0 million for continuing operations, offset by $30.0 million in dividends paid, $42.8 million for shares repurchased, $10.1 million used for net capital expenditures of continuing operations, $4.4 million used for net capital expenditures of discontinued operations, and $2.2 million for repayment of debt on our foreign lines of credit for discontinued operations.

We invest excess cash in marketable securities that are highly liquid, of high-quality investment grade, and which have varying maturities.  Our short-term marketable securities consist primarily of state and municipal government and government agency obligations, Federal Home Loan Bank and Mortgage Association bonds, and investment grade corporate obligations, including commercial paper.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities of Continuing Operations

Cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations of $99.0 million, $62.6 and $62.2 million for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, was greater than net income in those years, due to the net impact of non-cash adjustments to income.  Non-cash adjustments include tax benefits from the exercise of employee stock options, depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes and loss on the disposal of assets.  For the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, operating cash flows were positively impacted in the amount of $12.0 million, $0.3 million and $10.0 million, respectively, by changes in working capital balances.  Our working capital was $210.0 million at March 31, 2006, and $148.4 million at March 31, 2005. 

44




Cash Used for Investing Activities of Continuing Operations

Cash used in investing activities of continuing operations was primarily attributable to purchases and sales of marketable debt and equity securities, as well as capital expenditures on property and equipment and intangibles.  For the year ended March 31, 2006, total cash used in investing activities of continuing operations was $76.0 million.  Our net purchases of marketable securities totaled $66.0 million and our capital expenditures totaled $10.1 million.  We anticipate our capital expenditures to total approximately $10.0 million in fiscal 2007, as we will continue to invest in facility improvements, software to support our manufacturing processes, and production equipment.  For the year ended March 31, 2005, total cash used in investing activities of continuing operations was $35.0 million.  This amount was comprised of net investments of $27.9 million in marketable securities, $7.4 million in capital expenditures and $0.2 million in other investment activities.

Cash Provided by Discontinued Operations

Cash provided by discontinued operations was $16.0 million and $30.1 million for the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  This amount in 2006 was comprised of $25.4 million provided by operating activities of discontinued operations, less capital expenditures of $4.4 million, $2.2 million repaid on lines of credit, $0.8 million in loans made and $2.0 million in currency exchange rate adjustments.  In 2005, the amount was comprised of $34.5 million provided by operating activities of discontinued operations and $0.3 million in currency exchange rate adjustments, less capital expenditures of $2.8 million and $1.9 million repaid on lines of credit.

Cash Used for Financing Activities of Continuing Operations

Net cash from financing activities is primarily a result of cash provided by employee stock option exercises, cash used in payments of dividends and our stock repurchase program, and the net impact of our debt financing activities.

We have a stock repurchase program, primarily to offset the dilutive effect of our employee equity compensation program, to provide liquidity to the market, and to reduce the overall number of shares outstanding.  All shares repurchased under the program are retired and are no longer deemed to be outstanding.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2006 our Board of Directors authorized an additional 5 million shares for repurchase under our repurchase program.  As part of that repurchase program, a total of approximately 996,000 shares were repurchased from two directors who retired during the quarter.  These shares were purchased on March 2, 2006 for approximately $42.8 million at $43.00 per share, a discount from the market closing price quotation from the NYSE of $44.37 on that date.  During the quarter ended December 31, 2004, 2.3 million shares were repurchased for $79.8 million.  The December 2004 repurchase included the repurchase of 2.25 million shares from two investment partnerships managed by VA Partners, LLC, which was at the time, our largest shareholder.  On June 5, 2006, we agreed to repurchase 2 million additional shares from an investment partnership managed by ValueAct Capital at $42.00 per share, a discount from the closing market price quoted on the NYSE of $42.21 on that date.  The 2.0 million shares were repurchased for a total of $84 million pursuant to the Company's continuing stock repurchase program.  Mr. Jeff Ubben, managing director of ValueAct Capital, is a member of our Board of Directors.  The repurchase of these shares was pre-approved by the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors with interested parties abstaining or not in attendance. 

At June 11, 2006, approximately 3.3 million shares remained authorized for repurchase.  The timing of our repurchases is subject to market conditions, cash availability, and blackout periods during which we are restricted from repurchasing shares.  There is no guarantee that shares authorized for repurchase by the Board will ultimately be repurchased.  Additionally, our Credit Agreement as amended on May 31, 2006 limits the amount of equity securities we can repurchase to $250 million (of which $166 million remains available for repurchase) plus a subsequent amount during any four consecutive quarters equal to our consolidated net income less dividends paid for the preceding four quarters. 

45




On September 15, 2005, the Board of Directors authorized an increase in our quarterly cash dividend payable on our common stock from $.17 to $.18 per share.  Previously, in September 2004, the Board of Directors authorized an increase in the quarterly dividend rate from $0.15 per share to $0.17 per share and, in July 2003, the Board of Directors declared an increase in the quarterly dividend rate from $0.02 per share to $0.15 per share.  It is our intent to continue to pay dividends for the foreseeable future subject to, among other things, Board approval, cash availability, debt and line of credit restrictions and alternative cash needs.  At the current annual dividend rate of $0.72 per share, the aggregate annual dividend would be approximately $30 million.

We receive cash from the exercise of employee stock options.  Employee stock option exercises and ESPP purchases provided $43.6 million and $11.5 million of cash in fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively.  Proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options will vary from period to period based upon, among other factors, fluctuations in the market value of our common stock relative to the exercise price of such options.

 

Financing Arrangements

Senior Credit Facility

On May 26, 2005, we entered into a three-year Credit Agreement ("Credit Agreement") that provides us with a $200 million senior revolving credit facility, subject to a $20 million sublimit for the issuance of standby and commercial letters of credit, a $10 million sublimit for swing line loans, and a $50 million alternative currency sublimit.  At our election and subject to lender approval, the amount available for borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be increased by an additional $50 million.  Funds are available under the Credit Agreement to finance permitted acquisitions, stock repurchases up to certain dollar limitations, and for other general corporate purposes.  The Company has three standby letters of credit totaling $2 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement.  Accordingly, although there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement at March 31, 2006, only $198 million was available for borrowings. 

On May 31, 2006, we amended the Credit Agreement to permit the consummation of the sale of our Urology Business.  Additionally, the amendment modified the minimum Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA covenant that we are required to comply with under the terms of the Credit Agreement.  The amendment also amends certain negative covenants contained in the Credit Agreement, including amendments to the covenants restricting our ability to make investments and incur indebtedness and an amendment increasing the amount of our equity securities that we are permitted to repurchase.  As of June 11, 2006, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

Interest on borrowings (other than swing line loans and alternative currency loans) under the Credit Agreement is at a variable rate that is calculated, at our option, at the prime rate, or a Eurocurrency rate for deposits denominated in U.S. dollars plus an additional percentage that varies between 1.00% and 1.65%, depending on our senior leverage ratio at the time of the borrowing.  Swing line loans bear interest at the prime rate.  Alternative currency loans bear interest at the Eurocurrency rate for deposits denominated in the applicable currency plus the same additional percentage.  In addition, we paid certain fees to the lenders to initiate the Credit Agreement and will pay an unused commitment fee based on our senior leverage ratio and unborrowed lender commitments.

 

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries and are also secured by a pledge of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of certain of our other domestic subsidiaries.  In addition, if the ratio of total funded debt to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (or "adjusted EBITDA"), exceeds 2.50 to 1.00, then we are obligated to grant to the lenders a first priority perfected security interest in essentially all of our and our material domestic subsidiaries' assets.

The Credit Agreement imposes certain financial and operational restrictions, including financial covenants that require us to maintain a maximum consolidated funded debt leverage ratio of not greater than 4.00 to 1.00, a senior funded debt ratio of not greater than 2.50 to 1.00, a minimum quarterly adjusted EBITDA, and a minimum fixed charge ratio of greater than 1.25 to 1.00.  The covenants also restrict our ability, among other things, to make certain investments, incur certain types of indebtedness or liens, make acquisitions in excess of $20 million except in compliance with certain criteria, and repurchase shares of common stock, pay dividends or dispose of assets above specified thresholds.  The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, material inaccuracies in our representations and warranties, covenant defaults, bankruptcy and involuntary proceedings, monetary judgment defaults in excess of specified amounts, cross-defaults to certain other agreements, change of control, and ERISA defaults.

Other Financing

On October 4, 2005, Mentor Medical Systems B.V. ("Mentor BV"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mentor Corporation entered into a Loan and Overdraft Facility (the "Facility") with Cooperative RaboBank Leiden, Leiderdorp en Oestgstgeest U.A. ("RaboBank").

The Facility provides Mentor BV with an initial €15 million loan and overdraft facility, which decreases by €375,000 quarterly starting in September 2006.  Under the Facility, Mentor BV may borrow up to €12.5 million in fixed amount advances, with terms of three to six months, and a further sublimit of up to €5 million of loans in fixed amount advances with a term of up to 5 years.  Up to €10 million of the Facility may be drawn in the form of U.S. dollars.  Funds under the Facility are available to Mentor BV to finance certain dividend payments to Mentor Corporation and for other normal business purposes.  On March 31, 2006 we borrowed $14 million under the Facility to partially fund our repatriation of foreign earnings for reinvestment in the U.S. and this amount remains outstanding as of June 11, 2006.  Accordingly $14.0 million was outstanding and $4.2 million was available under this facility at March 31, 2006.

Interest on borrowings under the Facility is at a rate equal to 0.55% over the RaboBank base lending rate, Euribor, or LIBOR depending upon the currency and term of each borrowing.  Interest rates on borrowings other than overdrafts, are fixed for the term of the advance.

Borrowings by Mentor BV under the Facility are guaranteed by Mentor's wholly-owned subsidiary, Mentor Medical Systems C.V., through a Joint and Several Debtorship agreement.  In addition, borrowings under the Facility are secured by a mortgage on certain real estate owned by Mentor BV.

The Facility imposes certain financial and operational restrictions on Mentor BV, including financial covenants that require Mentor BV and Mentor Medical Systems CV to maintain a minimum combined defined solvency ratio, a maximum combined debt leverage ratio of not greater than 4 to 1, a senior funded debt ratio of not greater than 2.5 to 1, minimum quarterly operational results, and a minimum interest coverage ratio of greater than 5 to 1.  The Facility also contains customary events of default, including cross default and material or adverse change provisions.  If an event of default occurs, the commitments under the Facility may be terminated and the principal amount and all accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts owed thereunder may be declared immediately due and payable.  As of March 31, 2006, all covenants and restrictions had been satisfied.

Mentor BV paid €15,000 in certain fees to the RaboBank upon entry into the Facility, and Mentor BV will be obligated to pay, over the 10 year term of the Facility, a commitment fee of 0.25% of the committed and unborrowed balances.  Fees are payable quarterly in arrears. 

In addition to our RaboBank Facility, we previously established several lines of credit with local foreign lenders to facilitate operating cash flow needs at our foreign Urology subsidiaries.  These unsecured lines had no borrowings at year end and were terminated with the sale of our Urology segments on June 2, 2006.

At March 31, 2006, our total short-term borrowings under all lines of credit were $14.0 million and the weighted-average interest rate was 5.49%.  The total amount of additional borrowings available to us under all lines of credit was $202.2 million and $5.8 million at March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  The increase in the amounts available from the prior year is primarily due to the addition of our new $200 million Senior Credit facility in May 2005. 

47




Convertible Subordinated Notes

On December 22, 2003, we completed an offering of $150 million of convertible subordinated notes due January 1, 2024, pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.  The notes bear interest at 2¾% per annum and are convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $29.289 per share and are subordinated to all existing and future senior debt.  As a result of our recent dividend increase the conversion price has been adjusted to $29.167 and each $1,000 principle amount will be convertible into 34.2853 shares of common stock.   Concurrent with the issuance of the convertible subordinated notes, we entered into a convertible bond hedge and warrants transactions with respect to our common stock, the exposure for which is held by Credit Suisse First Boston LLC for a net cash payment of $18.5 million.  Both the bond hedge and the warrants transactions may be settled at our option either in cash or net shares and expire January 1, 2009.  The convertible bond hedge and warrants transactions combined are intended to reduce the potential dilution from conversion of the notes by effectively increasing the conversion price per share, from our perspective, to approximately $39.2633.

One of the conditions required for conversion of the notes was satisfied during the quarter ended March 31, 2006, and accordingly, the holders of notes have the option to convert the notes into common shares at the aforementioned adjusted conversion price per share.  The warrant holder also has the right to purchase 5.1 million shares when the share price of our common stock as quoted on the NYSE exceeds the current exercise price of $39.2633 per share.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations and other commitments at March 31, 2006, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods.  Certain of the obligations shown below were assumed by Coloplast, the buyer of our Urology Business and thus are not contractual obligations for us subsequent to the close of the sale on June 2, 2006.

On June 2, 2006, in connection with the sale of our Urology Business, our operating lease agreements relating to the Urology Business were assigned to Coloplast.  As a result, our future payments due under our outstanding lease agreements decreased by a total of $9.6 million ($2.0 million due in less than one year, $4.8 million due in one to three years, $2.1 million due in four to five years, and $0.7 million due in more than five years).

2

On June 2, 2006, also in connection with the sale of our Urology Business, our purchase obligations relating to the Urology Business were assigned to Coloplast.  As a result, our future payments due under our purchase obligations decreased by a total of $6.7 million.

3

On June 2, 2006, also in connection with the sale of our Urology Business, our acquisition and other milestones relating to the Urology Business were assigned to Coloplast.  As a result, our future payments due under our acquisition and other milestones decreased by a total of $1.0 million.

4

On June 2, 2006, also in connection with the sale of our Urology Business, our other long-term liabilities relating to the Urology Business were assigned to Coloplast.  As a result, our future payments due under our other long-term liabilities decreased by a total of $7.8 million ($0.4 due in less than one year, $1.2 million due in one to three years, $0.8 million due in four to five years, and $5.4 million due in more than five years).

 

48




The nature of our business creates a need to enter into purchase obligations with suppliers.  In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, these unconditional purchase obligations are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  Inventory related and other purchase obligations do not exceed our projected requirements over the normal course of business. 

We enter into various product and intellectual property acquisitions and business combinations.  In connection with some of these activities, we agree to make payments to third parties when specific milestones are achieved, such as receipt of regulatory approvals or achievement of performance or operational targets. 

The expected timing of payment of the obligations discussed above is estimated based on current information.  Timing of payments and actual amounts paid may be different depending on the time of receipt of goods or services or changes to agreed-upon amounts for some obligations.  Amounts disclosed as contingent or milestone-based obligations are dependent on the achievement of the milestones or the occurrence of the contingent events and can vary significantly.

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are currently material or reasonably likely to be material to our financial position or results of operations.

We believe that funds generated from operations, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, net after-tax proceeds from our sale of the Urology Business received subsequent to year end, plus funds available under our line of credit agreements will be adequate to meet our working capital needs and capital expenditure investment requirements and commitments for the foreseeable future.  However, it is possible that we may need to raise additional funds to finance unforeseen requirements or to consummate acquisitions of other businesses, products or technologies through the sale of equity or debt securities to the public or to selected investors, or by borrowing money from financial institutions.  In addition, even though we may not need additional funds in the short-term, we may still elect to sell additional equity or debt securities or borrow for other reasons.  There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain additional funds on terms that would be favorable to us, or at all.  If funds are raised by issuing additional equity securities or convertible debt securities, the ownership percentage of existing shareholders would be reduced.  In addition, equity or debt securities issued by us may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our common stock.

ITEM 7A.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

The following discussion about our market risks involves forward-looking statements.  Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.  We are exposed to market risk related to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates.  We generally do not use derivative instruments.

Interest Rate Risk

 

We maintain a portfolio of highly liquid cash equivalents with maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase.  We also have current marketable securities, consisting primarily of tax exempt variable demand notes, government agency obligations, Federal Home Loan Bank and Mortgage Association bonds with maturities on or before March, 2007, and investment grade corporate obligations, including commercial paper that are of limited credit risk and have contractual maturities of less than two years.  Given the relative short-term nature of these investments, we do not expect to experience any material impact upon our results of operation as a result of changes to interest rates related to these investments.

 

On December 22, 2003, we completed an offering of $150 million of convertible subordinated notes due January 1, 2024 pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.  The notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2¾% per annum.  Our subsidiaries also maintain certain levels of variable rate debt such as operating lines of credit.  The majority of our debt carries a fixed rate percentage and therefore is not subject to significant interest rate risk.  A 100 basis point change in interest rates would not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition related to the variable rate debt described

 

49




Exchange Rate Risk

A portion of our operations consist of sales activities in foreign markets.  We manufacture our products primarily in the United States and Europe and sell them throughout the world through a combination of wholly owned sales offices and international distributors.  Sales to third-party distributors and to the wholly owned sales offices are transacted in U.S. dollars, Euros, British Pounds, and Canadian dollars.  Our foreign sales offices primarily invoice customers in their local currency.

As a result, our financial results could be significantly affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in the foreign markets mentioned.  The principal risk exposure we face results from fluctuation in foreign exchange rates.  We experience transactional exchange rate risk when one of our subsidiaries enter into transactions denominated in currencies other than their local currency.  In the last two fiscal years, the effect of exchange rate risk has been favorable upon our operating results and financial condition.  We do not currently hedge any of the foreign exchange rate exposures.  A significant and rapid change in foreign exchange rates could have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations.

ITEM 9A.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

We maintain 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")) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2006, the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2006.

Further, management has determined that, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S.  However, all internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and reporting.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006.  In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.  Based on our assessment, management believes that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006 based on those criteria.

 

Management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting has been audited by Ernst & Young, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report appearing below, which expresses unqualified opinions on management's assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Mentor Corporation

 

We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Mentor Corporation (the "Company") maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria).  The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.  Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

In our opinion, management's assessment that Mentor Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material aspects, based on the COSO criteria.  Also, in our opinion, Mentor Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006, based on the COSO criteria.

 

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Mentor Corporation as of March 31, 2006 and 2005 and related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2006 and our report dated June 12, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Mentor Corporation

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Mentor Corporation as of March 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2006.  Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2).  These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Mentor Corporation at March 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Mentor Corporation's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated June 12, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

MENTOR CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2006

Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business Activity

Mentor Corporation was incorporated in April 1969.  Unless the context indicates otherwise, when we refer to "Mentor," "we," "us," "our," or the "Company" in these notes, we are referring to Mentor Corporation and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.  The Company develops, manufactures and markets a range of products serving the aesthetic medicine market, including plastic and reconstructive surgery.  Historically the Company's products have been utilized by three primary segments: aesthetic and general surgery (plastic and reconstructive surgery), surgical urology, and clinical and consumer healthcare.  Aesthetic and general surgery products include surgically implantable prostheses for plastic and reconstructive surgery, capital equipment and consumables used for soft tissue aspiration or body contouring (liposuction), and facial aesthetics products.  On June 2, 2006, the Company completed a transaction for the sale of our surgical urology and clinical and consumer healthcare businesses to Coloplast A/S ("Coloplast").  The surgical urology products included surgically implantable prostheses for the treatment of impotence, surgically implantable incontinence products, urinary care products, and brachytherapy seeds for the treatment of prostate cancer.  The clinical and consumer healthcare products included catheters and other products for the management of urinary incontinence and retention. 

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained.  For those subsidiaries where the Company owns less than 100%, the outside shareholders' interests are treated as minority interests.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.  Certain prior year amounts in previously issued financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

All highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.

The Company considers its marketable securities available-for-sale as defined in SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."  Realized gains and losses, and declines in value considered to be other than temporary, are included in income.  The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.  Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair market value.  Unrealized gains and losses are excluded from income, but, instead are reported as a net amount in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Shareholders' Equity.  The Company's short-term marketable securities consist primarily of state and municipal government and government agency obligations, Federal Home Loan Bank and Mortgage Association bonds, and investment grade corporate obligations, including commercial paper.

Concentrations and Credit Risk

 

The Company obtains certain raw materials and components for a number of its products from single suppliers.  In most cases the Company's sources of supply could be replaced if necessary without undue disruption, but it is possible that the process of qualifying new materials and/or vendors for certain raw materials and components could cause a material interruption in manufacturing or sales.  No material interruptions in raw material supply occurred during fiscal 2006.

 

The Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business to its customers, primarily hospitals, doctors and distributors.  The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customers' current credit worthiness, as determined through review of their current credit information.  The Company regularly monitors collections and payments from customers and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments.  Estimated losses are based on historical experience and any specific customer collection issues identified.  Bad debts have been minimal.  The Company does not normally require collateral or other security to support credit sales.  No customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's revenues or accounts receivable balance for any periods presented.

 

 

62




Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes product revenue, net of discounts, returns, and rebates in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 48, "Revenue Recognition When the Right of Return Exists," and Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, "Revenue Recognition."  As required by these standards, revenue is recorded when persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the buyer's price is fixed or determinable, contractual obligations have been satisfied, and collectibility is reasonably assured.  These requirements are met, and sales and related cost of sales are recognized upon the shipment of products, or in the case of consignment inventories, upon the notification of usage by the customer.  The Company records estimated reductions to revenue for customer programs and other volume-based incentives.  Should the actual level of customer participation in these programs differ from those estimated, additional adjustments to revenue may be required.  The Company also allows credit for products returned within its policy terms.  The Company records an allowance for estimated returns at the time of sale based on historical experience, recent gross sales levels and any notification of pending returns.  Should the actual returns differ from those estimated, additional adjustments to revenue and cost of sales may be required.

 

The Company has current and long term deferred revenue, which include funds received in connection with purchases of the Company's Enhanced Advantage Breast Implant Limited Warranty program.  The fees received in connection with the Enhanced Advantage Breast Implant Limited Warranty are deferred and recognized evenly over the life of the warranty term.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost determined by the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method.  The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation is based on the useful lives of the properties and computed using the straight-line method.  Buildings are depreciated over 30 years, furniture and equipment over 3 to 10 years and leasehold improvements over the shorter of their estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 15 years or lease term.  Significant improvements and betterments are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

 

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Intangible assets consist of values assigned to patents, licenses, trademarks and other intangibles.  These are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and are amortized over their economic useful life ranging from 3 to 20 years using the straight-line method.  Goodwill, the excess purchase cost over fair value of net identifiable assets acquired, was amortized using the straight-line method in fiscal 2002.  Goodwill amortization was discontinued in fiscal 2003 in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.  As required by SFAS No. 142, the Company has reassessed the remaining amortization periods of intangible assets acquired on or before June 30, 2001 and assigned all goodwill to reporting units for impairment testing.  The impairment tests involved the use of both estimates of fair value for the Company's reporting units as well as discounted cash flow assumptions.  If the book value exceeds the fair value, then the net book value would then be reduced to fair value based on an estimate of discounted cash flow.

 

 

63




Warranty Reserves

 

The Company offer two types of warranties relating to its breast implants in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico: a standard limited warranty which is offered at no additional charge and an enhanced limited warranty at an additional charge of $100 in the U.S. ($100 CAD in Canada), which provide limited financial assistance in the event of a deflation or rupture.  The Company's standard limited warranty is also offered in certain European and other international countries for silicone gel-filled breast implants.  The Company provides an accrual for the estimated cost of breast implant warranties at the time revenue is recognized.  Costs related to warranties are recorded in cost of sales.  The estimated cost of the standard limited warranty is recorded as an expense at the time of sale, whereas the estimated cost of the enhanced limited warranty is deferred and recognized over the term of the enhanced limited warranty which approximates costs as incurred.  Such accruals are based on estimates, which are based on relevant factors such as unit sales, historical experience, the limited warranty period, estimated costs, and, to a limited extent, information developed by the Company's insurance company using actuarial techniques.  These accruals are analyzed periodically for adequacy.  While the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of the Company's component suppliers, the warranty obligation is affected by reported rates of warranty claims and levels of financial assistance specified in the limited warranties.  Should actual patient claim rates reported differ from the Company's estimates, adjustments to the estimated warranty liability may be required.  These adjustments would be included in cost of sales.

 

Product Liability Reserves

The Company has product liability reserves for product-related claims to the extent those claims may result in litigation expenses, settlements or judgments within our self-insured retention limits.  The Company has also established additional reserves, through its wholly-owned captive insurance company, for estimated liabilities for product-related claims based on actuarially determined estimated liabilities taking into account its excess insurance coverages.  The actuarial valuations are based on historical information and certain assumptions about future events.  Product liability costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses as they are directly under the control of our General Counsel and other general and administrative staff and are directly impacted by the Company's overall risk management strategy.  Should actual product liability experience differ from the estimates and assumptions used to develop these reserves, subsequent changes in reserves will be recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses, and may affect the Company's operating results in future periods. 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes are provided on the temporary differences between income for financial statement and tax purposes.  The Company has not recorded a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets as management believes that it is more likely than not that all deferred tax assets will be realized.

 

Advertising Expenses

 

The Company expenses media advertising costs as incurred or where applicable, upon first showing.  Advertising expenses were $1.4 million, $3.9 million and $0.5 million in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  Capitalized advertising costs  were $0, $1.1 million  and $0 as of March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. 

 

Foreign Operations

 

Export sales to independent distributors, were $7.2 million, $6.5  million and $5.2 million in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  In addition, $68.3 million, $58.8 million, and $49.8 million of net sales from continuing operations in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, were from the Company's direct international sales offices primarily in Canada and Western Europe.  Income from continuing operations before income taxes for foreign operations was $21.4 million, $16.3 million and $8.9 million for fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The financial statements of the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation."  The assets and liabilities of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries whose functional currencies are other than the U.S. dollar are translated at current rates of exchange.  Revenue and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year.  The resulting translation adjustments are recorded directly into accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).  Transaction gains and losses, other than intercompany debt deemed to be of a long-term nature, are included in net income in the period they occur. 

 

Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 ("SFAS 155").  This statement amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 133"), and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, and resolves issues addressed in SFAS 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, "Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interest in Securitized Financial Assets."  This Statement: (a) permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation; (b) clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS 133; (c) establishes a requirement to evaluate beneficial interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; (d) clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and (e) eliminates restrictions on a qualifying special-purpose entity's ability to hold passive derivative financial instruments that pertain to beneficial interests that are or contain a derivative financial instrument.  The standard also requires presentation within the financial statements that identifies those hybrid financial instruments for which the fair value election has been applied and information on the income statement impact of the changes in fair value of those instruments.  The Company is required to apply SFAS 155 to all financial instruments acquired, issued or subject to a remeasurement event beginning January 1, 2007, although early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal year.  The Company is evaluating the provisions of SFAS 155.  The effects of adopting of SFAS 155 on the Company's financial statements are not known at this time.

In June 2005, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue 05-6, "Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements." EITF Issue 05-6 requires that leasehold improvements purchased subsequent to the inception of the lease or acquired in a business combination be amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the assets or a lease term that includes renewals that are reasonably assured at the date of the purchase or business combination.  The guidance in Issue 05-6 was effective as of the beginning of the third quarter of Fiscal 2006.  Adoption of EITF Issue 05-6 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.  This pronouncement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, and revises the requirements for accounting for, and reporting a change in, accounting principle.  SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so.  This pronouncement also requires that a change in the method of depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate that is affected by a change in accounting principle.  SFAS No. 154 retains many provisions of APB Opinion 20 without change, including those related to reporting a change in accounting estimate, a change in the reporting entity, and correction of an error.  The pronouncement also carries forward the provisions of SFAS No. 3, which govern reporting accounting changes in interim financial statements.  SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.  The Statement does not change the transition provisions of any existing accounting pronouncements, including those that are in a transition phase as of the effective date of SFAS No. 154.  The Company has applied the provisions of this statement effective April 1, 2006.

65




In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment," ("SFAS 123(R)").  SFAS 123(R) replaces FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.  SFAS 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements and requires that the compensation cost related to these types of payment transactions be recognized in financial statements.  Cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.

In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 107, which provides guidance regarding the application of SFAS 123(R).  SAB No. 107 expresses views of the Staff regarding the interaction between SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment, and certain SEC rules and regulations, and provides the Staff's views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies.  In particular, SAB No. 107 provides guidance related to share-based payment transactions with nonemployees, the transition from nonpublic to public entity status, valuation methods (including assumptions such as expected volatility and expected term), the accounting for certain redeemable financial instruments issued under share-based payment arrangements, the classification of compensation expense, non-GAAP financial measures, first-time adoption of SFAS 123(R) in an interim period, capitalization of compensation cost related to share-based payment arrangements, the accounting for income tax effects of share-based payment arrangements upon adoption of SFAS 123(R), the modification of employee share options prior to adoption of SFAS 123(R), and disclosures in Management's Discussion and Analysis subsequent to adoption of SFAS 123(R).

On April 14, 2005, the SEC approved a new rule that delays the effective date for SFAS 123(R) to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, thereby rendering it effective as to the Company on April 1, 2006.  The adoption of SFAS 123(R) on April 1, 2006 is expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated net income and earnings per share.  The Company has not completed its analysis of the impact of the adoption of 123(R); however, the effect of the adoption is estimated to approximate that shown in Note G, "Stock Options, Restricted Stock and Employee Stock Purchase Plan" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, plus the impact of  future grants and awards, if any. 

In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 151, Inventory Costs, which amends the guidance in Accounting Review Board ("ARB") No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing.  This amendment clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage).  This Statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges, regardless of whether they meet the criteria specified in ARB 43 of "so abnormal".  In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on normal capacity of the production facilities.  This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, thereby rendering it effective as to the Company on April 1, 2006.  The adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company.

In September 2004, the FASB confirmed EITF Issue No. 04-8, "The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share," with an effective date of December 15, 2004.  The EITF reflects the Task Force's conclusion that contingently convertible debt should be included in diluted earnings per share calculations, regardless of whether or not the trigger price has been reached.  The Company adopted EITF 04-8 in the quarter ended December 31, 2004 and retroactively applied its provisions to the interim periods ending June 30 and September 30, 2004 due to the Company's December 2003 issuance of convertible subordinated notes.  The impact of the EITF 04-8 changed the diluted earnings per share calculation by increasing net income used in the numerator by the after-tax amount of interest expense related to the convertible notes (approximately $802,000 per quarter), and by increasing weighted average shares outstanding used in the denominator by approximately 5.1 million shares, the number of shares to be issued upon full conversion of the convertible notes.  The effect of the restatement was a decrease in diluted earnings per share of approximately $0.02 per share for the interim periods ending June 30 and September 30, 2004.

Note F - Short-Term Bank Borrowings

 

Credit Agreement

On May 26, 2005, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") that provides a $200 million senior revolving credit facility, subject to a $20 million sublimit for the issuance of standby and commercial letters of credit, a $10 million sublimit for swing line loans and a $50 million alternative currency sublimit.  The Credit Agreement expires on September 30, 2008.  At the election of the Company, and subject to lender approval, the amount available for borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be increased by an additional $50 million.  Funds under the Credit Agreement are available to the Company to finance permitted acquisitions, for stock repurchases up to certain dollar limitations, and for other general corporate purposes.  The Company has three standby letters of credit totaling $2 million outstanding which are secured by the Credit Agreement.  Accordingly, although there were no borrowing outstanding under the Credit Agreement at March 31, 2006, only $198 million was available for borrowings. 

Interest on borrowings (other than swing line loans) under the Credit Agreement is at a variable rate that is calculated, at the Company's option, at either prime rate or LIBOR, plus an additional percentage that varies depending on the Company's senior leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) at the time of the borrowing.  Swing line loans bear interest at the prime rate plus additional basis points, depending on the Company's senior leverage ratio at the time of the loan.  In addition, the Company paid certain fees to the lenders to initiate the Credit Agreement and will pay an unused commitment fee based on the Company's senior leverage ratio and unborrowed lender commitments.

68




Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by two of the Company's domestic subsidiaries and are also secured by a pledge of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of two other domestic subsidiaries and by 65% of the outstanding capital stock of our French subsidiary.  In addition, if the ratio of total funded debt to adjusted EBITDA exceeds 2.50 to 1.00, the Company is obligated to grant to the lenders a first priority perfected security interest in essentially all of its domestic assets.

The Credit Agreement imposes certain financial and operational restrictions on the Company and its subsidiaries, including financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a maximum consolidated funded debt leverage ratio of not greater than 4.00 to 1.00, a senior funded debt ratio of not greater than 2.50 to 1.00, minimum quarterly EBITDA and a minimum fixed charge ratio of greater than 1.25 to 1.00.  The covenants also restrict the Company's ability, among other things, to make certain investments, incur certain types of indebtedness or liens, make acquisitions in excess of $20 million except in compliance with certain criteria, and repurchase shares of common stock, pay dividends or dispose of assets above specified thresholds.  The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, material inaccuracies in its representations and warranties, covenant defaults, bankruptcy and involuntary proceedings, monetary judgment defaults in excess of specified amounts, cross-defaults to certain other agreements, change of control, and ERISA defaults.  If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the commitments under the Credit Agreement may be terminated and the principal amount and all accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts owed thereunder may be declared immediately due and payable.  As of March 31, 2006, all covenants and restrictions had been satisfied, and there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement. 

Loan and Overdraft Facility

On October 4, 2005, Mentor Medical Systems B.V., ("Mentor BV"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mentor Corporation entered into a Loan and Overdraft Facility (the "Facility") with Cooperative RaboBank Leiden, Leiderdorp en Oestgstgeest U.A. ("RaboBank").

The Facility provides Mentor BV with an initial €15 million loan and overdraft facility, which decreases by €375,000 quarterly starting in September 2006.  Under the Facility, Mentor BV may borrow up to €12.5 million in fixed amount advances, with terms of three to six months, and a further sublimit of up to €5 million of loans in fixed amount advances with a term of up to 5 years.  Up to €10 million of the Facility may be drawn in the form of U.S. Dollars.  Funds under the Facility are available to Mentor BV to finance certain dividend payments to Mentor Corporation and for other normal business purposes.  As of June 11, 2006, $14.0 million was outstanding under the Facility.

Interest on borrowings under the Facility is at a rate equal to 0.55% over the RaboBank base lending rate, Euribor, or LIBOR depending upon the currency and term of each borrowing.  Interest rates on borrowings other than overdrafts, are fixed for the term of the advance.

Borrowings by Mentor BV under the Facility are guaranteed by Mentor's wholly-owned subsidiary, Mentor Medical Systems C.V., through a Joint and Several Debtorship agreement.  In addition, borrowings under the Facility are secured by certain real estate owned by Mentor BV.

The Facility imposes certain financial and operational restrictions on Mentor BV, including financial covenants that require Mentor BV and Mentor Medical Systems CV to maintain a minimum combined defined solvency ratio, a maximum combined debt leverage ratio of not greater than 4 to 1, a senior funded debt ratio of not greater than 2.5 to 1, minimum quarterly operational results, and a minimum interest coverage ratio of greater than 5 to 1.  The Facility also contains customary events of default, including cross default and material or adverse change provisions.  If an event of default occurs, the commitments under the Facility may be terminated and the principal amount and all accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts owed thereunder may be declared immediately due and payable.  As of March 31, 2006, all covenants and restrictions were satisfied.

69




Mentor BV paid €15,000 in certain fees to the RaboBank upon entry into the Facility, and Mentor BV will be obligated to pay, over the 10 year term of the Facility, a commitment fee of 0.25% of the committed and unborrowed balances.  Fees are payable quarterly in arrears.

Outstanding borrowings under all credit arrangements had a weighted-average interest rate of 5.49% and 2.85% at March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  A total of $202.2 million was available under the senior revolving credit facility and foreign lines of credit at March 31, 2006 and $5.8 million was available under the foreign lines of credit at March 31, 2005. 

 

Note G - Stock Options, Restricted Stock and Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company's Long-Term Incentive Plans

The Company has granted options to key employees and non-employee directors under its Amended 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2000 Plan") and its 1991 Plan.  In addition, in September 2005, the Company's shareholders approved an amended and restated version of the Company's Amended 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which is now referred to as the Mentor Corporation 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan and which was further amended in November 2005 (as amended, the "2005 Plan").  The 2005 Plan does not provide for an increase in the number of shares of the Company's common stock available for award grants under the plan.  Options granted under each of the Company's plans vest in four equal annual installments beginning one year from the date of grant, and expire ten years from the date of grant.  At March 31, 2006, the Company had one plan under which stock options were available for future grants, the 2005 Plan.  Pursuant to the terms of the option plans, 3,161,517 common shares were issued pursuant to exercises during fiscal 2006. 

The 2005 Plan reflects, among other things, amendments to the earlier plans to: (i) provide the Company with flexibility to grant awards other than stock options, including but not limited to restricted stock, stock bonuses, stock units and dividend equivalents; (ii) allow the Company to grant awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code; and (iii) extend the term of the plan to July 24, 2015.  Following the November 2005 amendments, the 2005 Plan provides as follows:

Grants of full-value awards under the 2005 Plan generally must satisfy certain minimum vesting requirements.  ("Full-value awards" include all awards granted under the 2005 Plan other than stock options with an exercise price that is not less than the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date the option is granted.)  Full-value awards subject to time-based vesting may not become fully vested in less than three years.  Full-value awards subject to performance-based vesting may not vest in less than one year.  The Company retains discretion to accelerate vesting of such awards under certain circumstances such as in connection with a termination of the grantee's employment, a change in control of the Company or the grantee's employer, or a release of claims by the grantee.  The Company may also grant full-value awards covering up to 10% of the total number of shares available for grant purposes under the 2005 Plan that are not subject to the foregoing vesting and acceleration restrictions.

Shareholder approval is expressly required for any increase in the number of shares of the Company's common stock that are available for award grant purposes under the 2005 Plan.

Persons eligible to receive awards under the 2005 Plan include directors, officers or employees of the Company, and certain of its consultants and advisors.  The types of awards that may be granted under the 2005 Plan include stock options, restricted stock, stock bonuses, stock units and dividend equivalents, and other forms of awards granted or denominated in the Company's common stock or units of the Company's common stock, as well as certain cash bonus awards. 

The maximum number of shares of the Company's common stock that may be issued or transferred pursuant to awards under the 2005 Plan remains at 6.0 million shares (inclusive of approximately 4.6 million options previously granted under the Amended 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan).

70




On October 5, 2005 (the "Award Date"), the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, granted awards in the aggregate amount of 288,856 restricted shares of Company common stock (the "Restricted Stock") to the Company's Executive Officers and other Company Officers, and to members of the Board of Directors of the Company.  The Restricted Stock vests, and restrictions lapse, with respect to one-fifth of the total number of shares of Restricted Stock on each of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the Award Date.  The vesting schedule requires continued employment or service through each applicable vesting date as a condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of the Restricted Stock, and carries specific share holding requirements during such employment or service.  Mentor has recorded $13.2 million, net of amortization and cancellations, in deferred stock-based compensation in accordance with APB No. 25.  Stock compensation expense is recognized over the 5-year vesting period of the Restricted Stock grants.  Restricted Stock compensation expense for fiscal 2006 was $1.5 million.  There was no Restricted Stock compensation expense in fiscal 2005.

Exercise prices for stock options are set at fair market value, as determined by the closing price of the Company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant, and the related number of shares granted is fixed at that point in time.  Therefore, under the principles of APB Opinion 25, the Company does not recognize compensation expense associated with the grant of stock options.  SFAS 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" requires the use of an option valuation model to provide supplemental information regarding options granted after fiscal 1995.  Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share shown below were determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of that statement.  For purposes of pro forma disclosure, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized ratably over the options' vesting period.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

On September  14, 2005 the Company's Board of Directors approved its Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP").  The Stock Purchase Plan is intended to assist the Company in securing and retaining its employees by allowing them to participate in the ownership and growth of the Company through the grant of certain rights to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at an initial discount of  5% from the fair market value of its shares.  The granting of such rights serves as partial consideration for employment and gives employees an additional inducement to remain in the service of the Company and its subsidiaries and provides them with an increased incentive to work toward the Company's success.

 

Under the ESPP, each eligible employee is permitted to purchase shares of common stock through regular payroll deductions and/or cash payments in amounts ranging from 1% to 15% of the employee's compensation for each payroll period. The fair market value of the shares of common stock which may be purchased by any employee under this or any other plan of the Company that is intended to comply with Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

The ESPP provides for a series of consecutive offering periods that are three months long commencing on each Grant Date.  Offering periods commence on January 1, April 1, July 1 and September 1 of each year.  During each offering period, participating employees are able to purchase shares of common stock at a purchase price equal to 95% of the fair market value of the common stock at the end of each offering period.  Under terms of the ESPP, 400,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance to employees.  As of March 31, 2006, 1,174 shares have been granted under the plan.

Pro Forma Analysis under FAS 123

The pro forma effect on net income may not be representative of the pro forma effect on net income in future years because compensation expense in future years will reflect the amortization of a different number of stock options granted in succeeding years, at different fair values.  The Company's pro forma information is as follows:

1  Net income for fiscal 2005 as reported includes a $4.4 million pre-tax charge  associated with  accelerated vesting
   of stock options. 

 2  Diluted earnings per share and weighted average shares outstanding for fiscal 2004 have been restated to reflect
   the additional shares that would be issued upon conversion of our 2¾% convertible notes, in accordance with the
   adoption of EITF Issue No. 04-8 in the quarter ended December 2004.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment".  As of April 1, 2006, SFAS No. 123(R) requires the Company to account for its stock options using a fair-value-based method as described in such statement and recognize the resulting compensation expense in the Company's financial statements.  SFAS 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature.  This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption.  Prior to April 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its employee stock options using the intrinsic value method under APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations, which generally results in no employee stock option expense.  

72




The Company has granted options to key employees and non-employee directors under its 2005 Plan and 1991 Plan.  Options granted under both plans are exercisable in four equal annual installments beginning one year from the date of grant, and expire ten years from the date of grant.  Options are granted at the fair market value on the date of grant.  Activity in the stock option plans during fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:

At March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, stock options to purchase 1,687,457, 3,877,277 and 2,973,209 shares, respectively, were exercisable at weighted-average prices of $15.96, $13.17, and $10.61 respectively. 

 

Stock option exercise prices are set at the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant and the related number of shares granted is fixed at that point in time.  Therefore, under the principles of APB Opinion 25, the Company does not recognize compensation expense associated with the grant of stock options.  SFAS 123 requires the use of an option valuation model to provide supplemental information regarding options granted after fiscal 1995.  Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share shown above were determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of that statement.

The weighted average fair values of stock options granted were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the following assumptions:

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options.  The Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options such as vesting restrictions and extremely limited transferability.  In addition, the assumptions used in option valuation models are highly subjective, particularly the expected stock price volatility of the underlying stock.  Because changes in these subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

The Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings of the Company's foreign operations that are intended to be invested indefinitely outside the United States.  At March 31, 2006, these foreign earnings amounted to approximately $21.4 million.  If repatriated, additional taxes of approximately $7.9 million on these earnings would be due, based on the current tax rates in effect.  For the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004 foreign income before taxes were $19.3 million, $13.8 million and $6.2 million, respectively. 

On October 22, 2004, the President of the United States signed the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (AJCA).  The AJCA created a temporary incentive for U.S. corporations to repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing an 85 percent dividends received deduction for certain dividends from controlled foreign corporations.  For fiscal 2006 the Company repatriated $32.0 million in foreign profits, and the Company estimates the tax liability on the $32.0 million to be approximately $1.74 million.

 Note I - Intangible Assets and Goodwill

 

In 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets".  SFAS No. 142 was effective for the Company as of April 1, 2002.  SFAS No. 142 specifies the financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets.  Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are no longer to be amortized, but rather are to be tested for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment indicators arise.  None of the Company's intangible assets have an indefinite life.  Intangible assets with finite lives continue to be amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives.  Goodwill and intangible assets have been recorded at either incurred or allocated cost.  Allocated costs were based on respective fair values at the date of acquisition. 

 

Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company reassessed the remaining amortization periods of intangible assets acquired on or before June 30, 2001, and assigned all goodwill to reporting units for impairment testing.  The impairment tests involve the use of both estimates of fair value as well as discounted cash flow assumptions.  Impairment tests were performed at adoption and in the fourth quarter of each subsequent fiscal year.  In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company performed impairment testing and determined that certain intangible assets had fair values less than their respective book values and were deemed impaired.  Accordingly, the Company recorded a net impairment charge for the impairment of long-lived assets of $0.3 million.  No impairment was noted for fiscal 2006.

Per share amounts and diluted shares outstanding for fiscal 2004 have been restated to reflect the additional shares that would be issued upon
  conversion of the Company's 2¾% convertible notes, in accordance with  the adoption of Emerging Issue Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 04-8 in
  the quarter ended December 2004. 

 

Employee stock options

 

Shares issuable under the Company's employee stock option plans that have exercise prices in excess of the average price per share during the period are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation using the treasury stock method.  Options to purchase 1,000, 68,500 and 66,500 shares with exercise prices greater than the average market prices of common stock were outstanding during fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  These options were excluded from the respective computations of diluted earnings per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

Convertible subordinated notes and warrants

 

The terms of the Company's convertible subordinated notes include restrictions which prevent the holder from converting the notes until the Company's share price exceeds the 120% Conversion Price on 20 trading days of the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the first day of such fiscal quarter.  However, EITF issue No. 04-8 requires that the Company use the if-converted method to determine the dilutive impact of the convertible subordinated notes described below in Note L.  Under the if-converted method, the numerator of the diluted earnings per share calculation is increased by the after-tax interest expense avoided for the period upon conversion and the denominator of the calculation is increased by approximately 5.1 million shares potentially issued upon conversion for both that current reporting period and the corresponding year-to-date reporting period.

 

77




As described below in Note L, we purchased a convertible note hedge and sold warrants which, in combination, have the effect of reducing the dilutive impact of the convertible subordinated notes by increasing the effective conversion price for the notes from the Company's perspective to approximately $39.2633.  SFAS 128, however, requires the Company to analyze the impact of the convertible note hedge and warrants on diluted earnings per share separately.  As a result, the purchase of the convertible note hedge is excluded because its impact will always be anti-dilutive.  SFAS 128 further requires that the impact of the sale of the warrants be computed using the treasury stock method. 

 

For example, using the treasury stock method, if the average price of the Company's stock during the period ended March 31, 2006 had been $38.00, $43.00 or $49.00, the shares from the warrants to be included in diluted earnings per share would have been zero, 447,000 and 1,022,000 shares, respectively.  The total maximum number of shares that could potentially be included under the warrants is 5.1 million.  The average share price of our stock during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 exceeded the $39.2633 conversion price of the warrants.  The impact of these warrants was that 0.663 million shares were added to the diluted shares and diluted earnings per share calculation during that period, and the weighted average impact for the full fiscal year was 0.696 million shares.  The Company adopted the provisions of EITF 04-8, "The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share," in December 2004.  The EITF required the inclusion of contingently issuable shares in the calculation of diluted earnings per share when the effect would be dilutive even if none of the required conditions for conversion were satisfied.  In addition, the EITF required application on retrospective basis for all periods presented.  

 

Note L - Long-Term Debt

 

On December 22, 2003, the Company completed an offering of $150 million of convertible subordinated notes due January 1, 2024 pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.  The notes bear interest at 2¾% per annum and are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at an adjusted conversion price of $29.167per share and are subordinated to all existing and future senior debt.


Holders of the notes may convert their notes only if any of the following conditions is satisfied:

  • during any fiscal quarter prior to January 1, 2019, if the closing price of the Company's common stock for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the first trading day of such fiscal quarter is more than 120% of the conversion price per share of the Company's common stock on such trading day;
  • any business day on or after January 1, 2019, if the closing price of the Company's common stock on the immediately preceding trading day is more than 120% of the conversion price per share of the Company's common stock on such trading day;
  • during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period if the average of the trading prices of the notes for such five consecutive trading day period is less than 98% of the average of the conversion values of the notes during such period, subject to certain limitations;
  • if the Company has called the notes for redemption; or
  • if the Company makes certain significant distributions to holders of its common stock or the Company enters into specified corporate transactions.

78




At an initial conversion price of $29.289, each $1,000 principle amount of notes will be convertible into 34.1425 shares of common stock.  As a result of the Company's recent dividend increase, the conversion price has been adjusted to $29.167, and each $1,000 principle amount will be convertible into 34.2853 shares of common stock.

During the quarter ending March 31, 2006, one of the conditions required for conversion of the notes was satisfied and, accordingly, the holders of notes have the option to convert the notes into common shares at the aforementioned adjusted conversion price per share. 

Concurrent with the issuance of the convertible subordinated notes, the Company purchased a convertible note hedge from Credit Suisse First Boston LLC.  The note hedge expires on January 1, 2009 and gives the Company the ability to purchase shares of our common stock equal to the number of shares we are obligated to issue under any convertible notes converted by the holder prior to the hedge expiration date at a purchase price equal to the conversion price of the convertible notes. 

Concurrent with the issuance of the notes, the Company issued warrants to Credit Suisse First Boston LLC.  The warrants are European-style call warrants, which also expire on January 1, 2009.  The holder of the warrants is entitled to purchase 5.14 million shares of the Company's common stock at $39.2633.  The number of shares and exercise price of the warrants are subject to adjustment from time to time in a similar manner to the convertible notes.

Both the note hedge and the warrants may be settled either in cash or shares at the Company's option.  The Company is not obligated under either the warrants or the note hedge, to settle its obligations in cash.  Under no circumstance is the Company obligated to issue shares under the note hedge.  The warrants do require the Company to settle its obligations thereunder in cash or shares, do permit the Company to settle its obligation in unregistered shares and contain no provision obligating the Company to settle its obligations in freely-tradable shares, and the Company is not required to make any cash payments under the warrants for failure to have a registration statement declared effective.  There are no required cash payments to the holder of the warrants if the shares initially delivered upon settlement are subsequently sold by the holder and the sales proceeds are insufficient to provide the holder with an expected return.  The Company has sufficient authorized shares to settle the warrants and the convertible notes in shares, considering all of its obligations under the instruments for their full terms.  The warrants, note hedge, and convertible notes each contain an express limit on the number of shares issuable thereunder.  The warrants and note hedge expressly indicate that the holder of the warrants has no rank higher than those of a shareholder of the stock underlying the warrants.  Under certain circumstances in a change of control of the Company we may be required to issue additional shares under a make-whole provision under the warrant. The Company has no obligation to post collateral under the warrants, convertible notes or note hedge. 

The cost of the note hedge and the proceeds from the sale of warrants have been included in shareholders' equity in accordance with the guidance in EITF No. 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in a Company's own Stock."  Any proceeds received or payments made upon termination of these instruments will be recorded in shareholders' equity.

Note M - Share Repurchase Program

The Company has a stock repurchase program to provide liquidity to the market and to reduce the overall number of shares outstanding, which has helped offset the dilutive effects of our employee stock option programs  and the dilutive effect of EITF Issue No. 04-8 related to the inclusion of contingently convertible debt in fully diluted earnings per share calculations.  All shares repurchased under the program are retired and are no longer deemed to be outstanding.  At March 31, 2003, 1.8 million shares remained authorized for repurchase under prior year's Board of Directors authorization.  On July 31, 2003 the Board of Directors increased the authorized number of shares to be repurchased from 1.8 million to 4.0 million shares.  On December 5, 2003, the Board of Directors increased the authorized number of shares to be repurchased by 5.0 million shares from 2.5 million to 7.5 million shares.  On March 6, 2006, the Board of Directors increased the authorized number of shares to be repurchased by 5.0 million shares from 1.3 million to 6.3 million shares.  During fiscal 2004, 5.4 million shares were repurchased for $135.8 million and 3.6 million shares remained authorized for repurchase as of March 31, 2004.  During fiscal 2005, 2.3 million shares were repurchased for $79.8 million and 1.3 million shares remained authorized for repurchase as of March 31, 2005.  During fiscal 2006, approximately 996,000 were repurchased from retiring board members for approximately $42.8 million, and 5.3 million shares remained authorized for repurchase as of March 31, 2006.  See Note O - Related Party Transactions for additional information on the share repurchase.  See Note W - Subsequent Events (Unaudited) for additional share repurchases subsequent to March 31, 2006.  The timing of repurchases is subject to market conditions, cash availability, and blackout periods during which the Company is restricted from repurchasing shares.  There is no guarantee that the remaining shares authorized for repurchase by the Board will ultimately be repurchased.

Note N - Commitments

The Company leases certain facilities under non-cancelable operating leases with unexpired terms ranging from 1 to 16 years.  Most leases contain renewal options.  Rental expense from continuing operations for these leases was $4.0 million, $3.5 million and $2.8 million for fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Future minimum lease payments under lease arrangements at March 31, 2006 were as follows:

On December 13, 2004, the Company repurchased 1,500,000 shares of its common stock from two investment partnerships managed by VA Partners, LLC, at the time our largest shareholder, at a purchase price of $33.85 per share, the closing price of the common stock on the NYSE on that date.  On December 14, 2004 the Company repurchased an additional 750,000 shares of its common stock from the same investment partnerships at $34.00 per share, a discount to the $34.41 closing price on the NYSE on that date.  The 2.25 million shares were repurchased for a total of $76.3 million pursuant to the Company's continuing stock repurchase program and represented approximately 5% of outstanding shares before the occurrence of the transactions.  VA Partners, LLC, through several of its investment partnerships, owned 6.9 million shares representing approximately 16% of our outstanding common stock prior to these transactions.  Mr. Jeff Ubben, a managing member of VA Partners, LLC, is a member of Mentor's Board of Directors.  The Company's Audit Committee evaluated and pre-approved the transactions.

On March 6, 2006, the Company repurchased 995,814 shares of its common stock from two retiring members of the Board of Directors at a purchase price of $43.00 per share, a discount from the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE of $44.37 on that date.  The Company's Audit Committee and the Board of Directors evaluated and pre-approved the transactions.

Note P - Warranty Reserves

The Company provides an accrual for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized.  The Company offers product replacement and certain financial assistance for surgical procedures that fall within the limited warranties and coverage period of implantation on its breast implant products.  Such accruals are based on estimates, taking into consideration relevant factors such as unit sales, historical experience, warranty period, estimated costs, and, to a limited extent, information developed by the Company's insurance company using actuarial techniques.  The Company assesses the adequacy of the accrual for product warranties periodically and adjusts the amounts as necessary based on actual experience and changes in future expectations.  In the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company expanded its standard limited warranty programs to provide certain financial assistance for surgical procedures within ten years of implantation (increased from five years) and in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 expanded the program coverage to include silicone gel-filled breast implant sales implanted in certain European and other international countries.  These changes to the Company's warranty programs were not retroactive, but applicable to implants implanted subsequent to the effective date of the expanded programs. 

The following table presents changes in the Company's accrued product warranty reserves for fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004.

Note Q - Contingencies

Warranty and product liability claims are a regular and ongoing aspect of the medical device industry.  At any one time, the Company may be subject to claims against it and may be involved in litigation.  These actions can be brought by an individual, or by a group of patients purported to be a class action.  The Company is currently involved in a number of product liability legal actions, the outcomes of which are not within its control and may not be known for prolonged periods of time.  The Company has retained liabilities associated with warranty and product liability claims arising out of its urology products sold prior to the June 2, 2006 closing date.  No individual product liability case or group of cases, in which the Company is currently involved, is considered material and there are no certified class actions currently pending against the Company.  In accordance with SFAS No. 5 "Accounting for Contingencies", a liability is recorded in the consolidated financial statements when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.  If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate, the minimum amount of the range is accrued.  If a loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, no liability is recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

The Company carries product liability insurance on all its products, except its silicone gel-filled implants, which in the United States are only available through a controlled clinical study.  This insurance is subject to certain self-insured retention and other limits of the policy, exclusions and deductibles that the Company believes to be appropriate.  At March 31, 2006, the Company had established reserves of $2.9 million for product related claims to the extent that those claims may result in settlements or judgments within its self-insured retention limits.  In addition, at March 31, 2006, the Company had established additional reserves of $3.8 million, through its wholly owned captive insurance company based on actuarially determined estimates and taking the Company's excess insurance coverage into account.  Those reserves were actuarially determined based on historical information, trends and certain assumptions about future claims and are primarily for claims that have been asserted.  Should actual product liability experience differ from the estimates and assumptions used to develop these reserves, subsequent changes in these reserves will be recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses and may affect the Company's operating results in future periods.

 

 

81




In addition, the Company also offers limited warranty coverage on some of its products (see Note P for details). While the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its component suppliers, the limited warranty obligation is affected by reported rates of product problems as well as the costs incurred in correcting product problems.  Should actual warranty experience differ from the estimates and assumptions used to develop the warranty reserves, subsequent changes in the reserves will be recorded in cost of sales and may affect our operating results in future periods.

 

In addition, in the ordinary course of its business, the Company experiences various types of claims that sometimes result in litigation or other legal proceedings.  The Company does not anticipate that any of these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

Note R - Severance Charges and Restructuring and Long-Lived Asset Impairment Charges

Severance Charges

On February 16, 2005, Christopher J. Conway and Adel Michael each resigned as a director and executive officer of the Company.  In connection with resignation and severance agreements entered into with them, the Company incurred $8.5 million in expenses in February 2005.  As one of the co-founders of the Company, and following 36 years of service, Mr. Conway received certain severance compensation in the form of both cash payments totaling $2.3 million and non-cash benefits in the amount of $2.1 million related to the accelerated vesting of his unvested and unexpired stock options.  In addition, Mr. Adel Michael, the Company's former Vice Chairman, received severance compensation in the form of cash benefits in the amount of $1.8 million and non-cash benefits in the amount of $2.3 million related to the accelerated vesting of his unvested and unexpired employee stock options.     

Restructuring and Long-Lived Asset Impairment Charges 

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005, the Company incurred $1.7 million in expenses related to restructuring of certain of our operations to achieve improved efficiencies and certain long-lived assets that were determined to be impaired.  The restructuring charges totaled $1.4 million and the impairment charges totaled $0.3 million. 

Note S - Postretirement Benefit Plan

 

The Company's Savings and Investment Plan is a qualified salary-reduction plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code in which substantially all of our U.S. employees may participate by contributing a portion of their compensation.  The Company matches contributions up to specified percentages of each employee's compensation depending on how the employee allocates his or her contributions.  Charges against income for the matching contributions, were $0.9 million, $0.8 million and $0.8 million for fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

Note T - Discontinued Operations

In October, 2005, the Company announced that it was evaluating strategic alternatives for its Urology Business that would both enhance shareholder value and enable the Company to focus more fully on its aesthetics business.  On May 17, 2006 the Company executed a definitive agreement for the sale of the Company's Surgical Urology and Clinical and Consumer Healthcare business segments to Coloplast for $463 million, of which $456 million is in cash and $7 million is in non-cash consideration consisting of the value of certain foreign tax credits that the Company expects to realize arising from the transaction prior to the close.  The sale was completed on June 2, 2006.  In accordance with SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets," the assets and liabilities related to this transaction have been segregated from continuing operations and are reported as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  In addition, operations associated with these segments have been classified as income from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Note W - Subsequent Events (Unaudited)

As part of its share repurchase program, the Company agreed on June 5, 2006 to repurchase from an investment partnership managed by ValueAct Capital 2.0 million shares of its common stock at $42 per share, a discount from the closing market price quoted on the New York Stock Exchange of $42.21 on June 5, 2006.  The 2.0 million shares were repurchased for a total of $84 million pursuant to the Company's continuing stock repurchase program and represent approximately 4.6% of outstanding shares before the transactions.  After the transactions, ValueAct Capital, through several of its investment partnerships, continues to own more than 2 million shares of Common Stock, or approximately 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company.  ValueAct Capital's managing director, Mr. Jeff Ubben, is a member of the Company's Board of Directors.  The repurchase of these shares was pre-approved by the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors with interested parties abstaining or not in attendance. 

As of June 12, 2005, approximately 3.3 million shares remain authorized for repurchase under the Company's stock repurchase program.  All shares repurchased under the program have been retired and are no longer deemed to be outstanding.  There is no guarantee that the remaining shares authorized for repurchase will ultimately be repurchased. 

The additional shares available for repurchase are subject to limitations set forth in the Company's Credit Agreement previously entered into on May 26, 2005 and amended on May 31, 2006.  The amended Credit Agreement now permits the repurchase of up to $250,000,000 of equity securities, a portion of which was utilized in the repurchase described in the previous paragraph, leaving a remaining amount of $166,000,000.  In addition, after the $250,000,000 is utilized for such repurchases, the Company may repurchase during any four consecutive quarters additional equity securities in an amount limited to the Company's consolidated net income, less dividends paid, for the preceding four quarters.

EX-2 2 ex2-1.htm BINDING OFFER LETTER FROM COLOPLAST A/S REGARDING PURCHASE OF MENTOR UROLOGY BUSINESS DATED MARCH 27, 2006 EXHIBIT 2.1 - Binding Offer Letter from Coloplast A/S to Purchase Mentor Urology Business

EXHIBIT 2.1

Copenhagen, DENMARK

March 27, 2006

Mentor Corporation
201 Mentor Drive
Santa Barbara, California 94311
USA
Attention: Joshua H. Levine, President and Chief Executive Officer

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are pleased to make this binding offer (the "Offer") to purchase the Urology Business (as defined below) from Mentor Corporation (including the European subsidiaries operating the Urology Business) for a consideration of $463,225,000 of which $456,137,500 will be in cash and the remainder as other non-cash consideration as described herein (such purchase and sale of the Urology Business, if any, referred to herein in as the "Transaction").  The Transaction would be on a cash free, debt free basis with working capital consistent with historical levels as we have discussed.

If and when you accept the Offer, we will execute a definitive agreement relating to the Transaction.  The conditions to the completion of the Transaction would be as follows:

(a)  Delivery of conveyance documents for the European subsidiaries and the transferred assets;
(b)  Receipt of required regulatory approvals;
(c)  Absence of laws and injunctions restricting, or government litigation seeking to restrict, the purchase;
(d)  Accuracy of your representations and warranties regarding the Urology Business, except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined below) and material compliance with your covenants;
(e)  Delivery of certain closing documents; and
(e)  Absence of any Material Adverse Effect on the Urology Business.

This Offer presumes the following additional terms:

We would extend offers of employment to all of the employees of the Urology Business.

Pending the Closing, you would generally operate your business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice.

Your representations and warranties regarding the Urology Business would (i) survive for a period of 18 months following closing, (ii) be subject to maximum liability in the event of breach equal to 15% of the purchase price, (iii) be subject to an individual de minimus claim amount of $100,000 and (iv) be subject a threshold of $1,000,000, after which we would be entitled to recover all losses.  However, (i) representations concerning product liability would survive for twelve months, and (ii) representations concerning certain title matters and sufficiency of assets would survive for ten years and not be subject to the foregoing limitations, but liability in any event under the contract would be limited to the purchase price and would not include consequential, punitive or special damages or diminution in value.

We would indemnify you for assumed liabilities of the Urology Business and you would indemnify us for excluded liabilities, without limitations on recovery.  Product liability claims made during the first seven years for products sold by you would be excluded liabilities; product liability claims made after seven years for products sold by you would be assumed liabilities.  We would pay you $300,000 per year, on a semi-annual basis, in connection with certain product liability claims.  In addition, you would indemnify us for any product liability for your sale of ObTape® products (we would not purchase the ObTape product line).  We would assume all environmental liabilities;

1



provided, however, that you would agree to indemnify us for: (i) losses for environmental claims made during the five year period post-closing with respect to your Minneapolis property; (ii) losses for environmental claims made during the four year period post-closing with respect to your other transferred properties that were in existence at closing and were caused by you; and (iii) 50% of losses for all other environmental claims made during the four year period post-closing with respect to your other transferred properties.  Our rights to indemnification would terminate if we conduct additional environmental testing on any transferred real property except where required by law or in certain other specified circumstances.  You would cooperate with us to obtain insurance naming you and Coloplast as insured parties with respect to your environmental indemnification obligations.

The indemnifying party (including for breach of representations and warranties) would be entitled to notice of, control the defense of and settle, third party claims.

As we have discussed, our Offer for the Transaction does not include the purchase of Mentor's infrastructure and general and administrative assets, and assumes you would provide transition services arrangements, including leases, to us for a limited period of time in order for us to promptly transition the Urology Business to our infrastructure.  You and we would also provide for continued supply to each other of materials currently supplied between your remaining business and the Urology Business.

In addition, as other non-cash consideration we would pay you $7,087,500 corresponding to 90% of the foreign tax credits attributable to the sale of intellectual property from your Porges subsidiary to us prior to the closing (such tax credits equal to $7,875,000) that are determined to be unavailable following an audit or promulgation of a treasury regulation disallowing such credits and for certain other reductions in the foreign tax credits.

We would establish an escrow out of the purchase price of $10,000,000 for a period of 18 months solely to secure your indemnification obligations with respect to breaches of representations and warranties.

You would agree not to enter into or engage in a business that competes with the Urology Business, on a worldwide basis, for a period of seven years following the closing.  A competing business would not include (1) the developing, manufacturing, marketing, selling, importing or distributing of (A) any oral pharmaceuticals or (B) any product or treatments involving dermal fillers or other bulking agents or toxins, including botulinum toxins, for any indication or application, including any urologic indication or application; or (2) any businesses acquired and operated by you for so long as such businesses generate less than $5,000,000 in aggregate annual revenues from any competing business.

"Urology Business" means your surgical urology and consumer and clinical healthcare operating segments, whether conducted by you or your subsidiaries, and consisting of the following diversified product portfolio of surgical and non-surgical products, that provide solutions for a broad range of urological problems:

The Urology Business would not include any product or treatments involving dermal fillers or other bulking agents or toxins, including botulinum toxins, for any indication or application, and you would not be restricted from competing in any area for these products and treatments including any urologic indication or application.  The Urology business would include the facilities in Minneapolis and Oklahoma City and leases for specified properties throughout the world, but would not include and we would not purchase your Anoka facility and the assets related thereto.  We would negotiate in good faith to reach agreement with you and Rochester Medical Corporation to effectuate the term sheet among us relating to silicone male external catheters, but if we were unable to reach such agreement you would supply us Silicone Male External Catheters from the Anoka facility.

"Material Adverse Effect" means any change, event, state of facts, or effect (each an "Effect") that is materially adverse to the Urology Business; provided, however, that none of the following shall be deemed, either alone or in combination, to constitute a Material Adverse Effect: any Effect resulting from or arising out of (a) the announcement of this Offer or the pendency of the transactions contemplated hereby, including actions taken in connection with the separation of the Urology Business in furtherance of the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) the performance by a party of its obligations in connection with the transaction or as required by applicable laws or accounting requirements, (c) general economic conditions in any country where the Urology Business is conducted that do not disproportionately and adversely affect the Urology Business in any material respect, (d) general conditions in any industry in which the Urology Business is conducted that do not disproportionately and adversely affect the Urology Business in any material respect, (e) any natural disaster or any acts of terrorism, sabotage, military action or war (whether or not declared) or any escalation or worsening thereof, (f) certain environmental conditions at all properties owned, leased or occupied at any time by your or any of your subsidiaries in connection with the Urology Business, or (g) any Effect for which an adjustment to the purchase price with respect to working capital is required to be made.

Extrinsic (parole) evidence, including the discussions and correspondence between us, may be considered in the interpretation of this binding Offer.  This binding Offer has been duly authorized by Coloplast, and, to our knowledge, does not conflict with any of Coloplast's agreements or any applicable legal requirement.

We confirm that monetary damages may be inadequate to compensate you for a breach by us of this Offer.  Accordingly, we agree and acknowledge that, in addition to any other remedies that may be available, in law, in equity or otherwise, you shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief against breaches of this Offer.  This Offer is subject to Minnesota law (without regard to conflicts of laws principles).  We hereby consent to the jurisdiction of any federal or state court within Minnesota and agree not to assert that any such forum is not convenient or lacks jurisdiction.

2.3              Conveyances

Promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of Buyer and Seller will cooperate in good faith to prepare and execute appropriate Contracts to convey or transfer the Transferred Assets, Transferred IPR and Assumed Liabilities held by Seller or its Subsidiaries to Buyer in connection with the Closing, or if so requested by Buyer, Subsidiaries of Buyer (the "Buyer Subsidiaries").  Each of the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such transfers to be effected on the most efficient basis, including minimizing Transfer Taxes.  Such transfers shall be on terms (including conditions to Closing, representations and warranties, covenants and indemnification obligations) consistent with this Agreement, including the Purchase Price Allocation, except and only to the extent of modifications required to provide for the intent of this Agreement under applicable Laws (and in such case the minimal modifications required to do so) as may be required by applicable Laws.  Where appropriate, each of Buyer and Seller will cause its Subsidiaries to comply with any applicable Laws prior to entering into the Conveyance Documents.  With respect to any Transferred Assets, Transferred IPR or Assumed Liabilities, one or more bills of sale, assignment and assumption agreement, or similar conveyance documents as may be required under the Laws of the applicable jurisdiction to validly convey, assign and transfer such Transferred Assets, Transferred IPR or Assumed Liabilities (the "Conveyance Documents") may be used by Buyer or Seller in place of the Bills of Sale or the Assumption Agreement, as applicable.  The Parties agree that the Conveyance Documents are not intended to expand or limit the rights and obligations of Seller and Buyer beyond those provided for in this Agreement, and that the Conveyance Documents shall not provide for any additional rights or obligations of the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries that are not provided for in this Agreement or the other Operative Agreements (it being understood that for purposes of this sentence only, Operative Agreements shall not include the Conveyance Documents).  In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Conveyance Documents and this Agreement, the Parties agree and acknowledge that the terms of this Agreement shall control and that, if necessary, the Parties shall deliver such additional instruments as may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

2.4              Net Working Capital Adjustment

(a)                Within 60 days after the Closing Date, Buyer will prepare (i) a balance sheet as of the Closing Date, (the "Closing Date Balance Sheet"), which Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP on a consistent basis with the Year-End Financials, and (ii) a statement of Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the "Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement", and together with the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the "Closing Statements"), which Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement shall be derived from the Closing Date Balance Sheet.  Seller will assist and cooperate with Buyer in the preparation of the Closing Statements, including by providing Buyer with reasonable access to any relevant personnel, books and records related to the Transferred Assets, the Transferred IPR and the Assumed Liabilities and historical financial data that are in Seller's possession.  A spreadsheet illustrating the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement (assuming in each case that the Closing Date had occurred on December 31, 2005) is attached as Exhibit D hereto for illustrative purposes.

23



(b)               Following the delivery by Buyer to Seller of the Closing Statements, Seller shall have a period of 30 days in which to review the Closing Statements.  Seller and its accountants shall be provided with reasonable access to the Transferred Assets and the Transferred IPR, the work papers of Buyer and its accountants and to the books and records relating to the Transferred Assets, the Transferred IPR and the Assumed Liabilities in connection with such review.  In the event that Seller determines that the Closing Statements have not been prepared on a basis consistent with the requirements of Section 2.4(a), Seller shall, on or before the last day of such 30‑day period, inform Buyer in writing of such determination (the "Objection"), setting forth in reasonable detail a specific description of the basis of the Objection, the adjustments to the Closing Statements which Seller believes should be made, and Seller shall be deemed to have accepted any items not specifically disputed in the Objection.  Failure to so notify Buyer shall constitute acceptance and approval of Buyer's preparation of the Closing Statements.

(c)                Buyer shall then have 30 days following the date it receives the Objection to review and respond to the Objection, during which period Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the Objection.  If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve all of their disagreements with respect to the determination of the foregoing items by the 30th day following the date on which Buyer receives the Objection, after having used their good faith efforts to reach a resolution, they shall refer their remaining differences to KPMG LLP (or, if KPMG refuses to act in such capacity, such other nationally recognized accounting firm as the Parties shall reasonably agree) (the "CPA Firm"), who shall, acting as experts in accounting and not as arbitrators, determine on a basis consistent with the requirements of Section 2.4(a), whether and to what extent, if any, the Closing Statements require adjustment.  Buyer and Seller shall request the CPA Firm to use all reasonable efforts to render its determination within 45 days following submission of such matters to the CPA Firm.  The CPA Firm's determination shall be final, conclusive and binding upon Buyer and Seller, and nonappealable to any Person, court or forum absent manifest error or manifest bias.  Buyer and Seller shall promptly make reasonably available to the CPA Firm access to the Transferred Assets, all relevant books and records, any work papers (including those of the Parties' respective accountants, to the extent applicable) and supporting documentation relating to the Closing Statements and all other items reasonably requested by the CPA Firm.  The "Final Balance Sheet" and the "Final Net Working Capital Statement" shall mean, respectively, the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement, as the case may be, (i) as submitted by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.4(a), in the event that (1) no Objection is delivered to Buyer during the initial 30‑day period specified above or (2) Buyer and Seller so agree, (ii) as adjusted in accordance with the Objection, in the event that (A) Buyer does not respond to the Objection during the 30‑day period specified above following receipt by Buyer of the Objection or (B) Buyer and Seller so agree, (iii) as adjusted in accordance with the agreement of Buyer and Seller, if the Parties so agree during the 30‑day period following receipt by Buyer of the Objection, or (iv) as adjusted by the CPA Firm, if it has been submitted to the CPA Firm for review, together with any other modifications to the Closing Statements agreed upon by the Parties.  All fees and expenses of the CPA Firm shall be shared equally by Buyer and Seller.

24



(d)               If the Net Working Capital Target is greater than the Net Working Capital as reflected on the Final Net Working Capital Statement (the amount of such excess, the "Downward Adjustment Amount"), then Seller shall pay within ten (10) days to Buyer cash equal to the amount of the Downward Adjustment Amount.  If the Net Working Capital as reflected on the Final Net Working Capital Statement is greater than the Net Working Capital Target (the amount of such excess, the "Upward Adjustment Amount"), then Buyer shall pay within ten (10) days to Seller cash equal to the amount of the Upward Adjustment Amount.  Any payment pursuant to this Section 0 will be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

2.5              No Withholding

Buyer shall make all payments required to be made to Seller hereunder free and clear of and without reduction for any withholding taxes which shall be the sole responsibility of Buyer.

31

7.1              Voluntary Transfer Employees

(a)                Offers of EmploymentNo later than the tenth (10th) Business Day after Seller delivers Schedule 7.1(a) to Buyer, Buyer will extend an offer of employment to (i) each Employee on Seller's U.S. payroll and listed on Schedule 7.1(a) (each, a "U.S. Employee") and (ii) each Employee who is not on Seller's U.S. payroll or employed by a Transferred Subsidiary and who is listed on Schedule 7.1(a) ((i) and (ii) collectively, the "Offered Employees").  The employment of each Employee who is employed by a Transferred Subsidiary (each a "Transferred Subsidiary Employee") will continue uninterrupted at Closing without the Buyer extending an offer of employment. Each such offer shall provide for employment by Buyer effective only as of and after the Closing Date and at a job responsibility level and title that is substantially similar to or higher than such Offered Employee's employment with Seller for the year prior to the date of the offer.  Effective only as of the Closing and after the Closing Date, Buyer will hire each Offered Employee who accepts the offer of employment extended to such individual by Buyer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any U.S. Employee who is, at the time an offer of employment is required under this Section 7.1(a), on a Seller (or a Subsidiary thereof) approved leave of absence from work, shall not become an employee of Buyer (and shall not be considered a Transferred Employee) unless and until such employee becomes eligible to return to active employment within one year after the Closing Date in accordance with Seller's human resource policies and applicable Laws and is accepted for employment by Buyer in its discretion and actually commences employment with Buyer.

52



(b)               Service Credit; Waivers; Credits.  As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing, Seller shall provide Buyer with a certificate of creditable coverage under HIPAA for all U.S. Transferred Employees.  Buyer shall provide each Transferred Employee with credit for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual (other than under a defined benefit plan intended to benefit Employees located in the U.S.) under the Buyer Benefits Plans for Years of Service on and prior to the Closing Date with Seller and its Subsidiaries credited under the comparable Seller Benefits Plans, including recognition of such service for purposes of determining Transferred Employees' amount of paid time off or vacation and severance benefits; provided, however, that in no event shall Buyer be required to provide any service credit to any Transferred Employee to the extent the provision of such credit would result in any duplication of benefits.  To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Buyer shall cause any pre‑existing conditions or limitations and eligibility waiting periods (to the extent that such waiting periods would be inapplicable under Seller Benefits Plans) under any Buyer Benefits Plans to be waived with respect to Transferred Employees and their eligible dependents.  To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Buyer shall provide the Transferred Employees and their eligible dependents with credit for any deductibles and annual out‑of‑pocket limits for medical, dental and vision expenses paid during the applicable period under any Seller Benefits Plans in satisfying any deductibles and annual out‑of‑pocket limits for medical, dental and vision expenses for the corresponding period under the Buyer Benefits Plans.

(c)                401(k) Plan.  To the extent permitted under Section 401(k) of the Code and regulations issued thereunder, Voluntary Transfer Employees who participate in Seller's 401(k) plan shall be eligible to receive, at their election, a distribution of their account balance from Seller's 401(k) plan after the Closing Date.  Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to cause its 401(k) plan to accept eligible rollovers of such distributions, provided that Buyer determines that receipt of any such rollover will not result in a disqualification of Buyer's 401(k) plan.  Rollovers relating to any Voluntary Transfer Employee may include participant loans.

(d)               FSA.  Promptly after the Closing Date, Seller shall transfer and Buyer shall accept the flexible spending account elections, liabilities and accounts (maintained pursuant to Code Sections 105 and 129) of the Voluntary Transfer Employees under Seller's Section 125 plan flexible spending arrangement.  Promptly after the Closing Date, Seller shall cause to be transferred to Buyer the aggregate net cash amount (determined immediately prior to the Closing) for contributions paid (but not yet reimbursed) by or on behalf of the Voluntary Transfer Employees under Seller's Section 125 plan flexible spending arrangement.

(e)                Vacation.  Seller shall allow Transferred Employees to transfer any accrued but unused vacation time (which vacation time was accrued in accordance with Seller's policies consistent with past practice) to Buyer.   With respect to Voluntary Transfer Employees, only those Voluntary Transfer Employees who submit a vacation consent form, prior to the Closing Date, are eligible to transfer vacation time to Buyer.  To the extent permitted by Law, Buyer shall assume such accrued but unused vacation time of the Transferred Employees and allow each Transferred Employee to use such accrued vacation time after the Closing Date.  The transfer of vacation time shall not affect each Transferred Employee's accrual of vacation under Buyer's vacation policies.  Seller shall be liable for and pay in cash an amount equal to any accrued but unused vacation time to any (i) Voluntary Transfer Employee who has not executed a vacation consent form or (ii) any Offered Employee who declines to accept Buyer's offer of employment made in accordance with Section 7.1(a) and whose employment terminates prior to the Closing Date.

(ii)            Subject only to the requirements of local Law in the relevant jurisdiction, Buyer shall not assume any accrued Retirement Benefits liabilities relating to the Automatic Transfer Employees in respect of their Years of Service prior to the Closing.  If Buyer is required by local Law or the terms of any existing Seller Retirement Plan to assume any accrued Retirement Benefits liabilities relating to the Automatic Transfer Employees in respect of their Years of Service prior to the Closing, and provided the assets associated with such liabilities are retained by Seller (or a Subsidiary thereof) at the Closing, Seller will treat all such Retirement Benefits liabilities as Excluded Liabilities and, to the extent required by the terms of the applicable Seller Retirement Plan and applicable Law, shall pay all such benefits as and when they become payable; and

(iii)            Years of Service in respect of the Automatic Transfer Employees under any Seller Retirement Plan shall count as Years of Service under any relevant retirement benefit arrangement operated or nominated by Buyer for the purpose of vesting, eligibility for benefits, early retirement or termination subsidies, levels of contribution and, subject to Section 0 (relating to non‑duplication of benefits) and Section 7.2(b)(i), benefit accrual.

7.3              Compensation and Benefits

(b)               with Employee Benefits Plans (excluding stock-based incentive plans and employee stock purchase or stock option plans) that are at least substantially similar in the aggregate to the benefits provided under those Seller Benefits Plans in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(c)                Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any and all "stay", "retention", or incentive bonus(es) offered by Seller to its Employees, and regardless of when payable, shall be the sole and exclusive responsibility of Seller, and Buyer shall have no responsibility or liability therefor.

7.4              Information and Consultation

Buyer and Seller shall provide one another with such information, which information will be materially accurate and complete, and assistance at such times as either Party may reasonably request or as may be necessary for such Party or its Subsidiaries to comply with any requirement to consult with the Employees, a relevant trade union, or any other Employee representatives.

7.5              Severance

(a)                Buyer shall provide any Transferred Employee whose employment is terminated by Buyer (other than employees terminated (a) for Cause or (b) by reason of such employee's Poor Performance) or who resigns as a result of a Constructive Termination, in each case within the 12‑month period immediately following the Closing Date, with severance payments and benefits, which are no less favorable than the severance pay and benefits such employee would have received had he or she terminated employment with Seller on the Closing Date. 

(b)               Buyer and Seller agree to share equally the cost of the severance obligations owed to Shared Benefit Employees.

 

55

7.9              Retention Payment

Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Seller agrees to pay to each Transferred Employee who holds options exercisable for shares of Seller's common stock as of the Closing Date (the "Eligible Employees") one-half (1/2) of the Retention Payment for such Eligible Employee, less any applicable required withholdings.  Upon the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer shall pay to each Eligible Employee then employed by Buyer or any of Buyer's Subsidiaries or Affiliates one-half (1/2) of the Retention Payment, less any applicable required withholdings.  If after the Closing Date and prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date, the employment of any Eligible Employee is terminated (a) by the Buyer other than for Cause or Poor Performance or (b) as a result of a Constructive Termination, death or disability, Buyer shall pay to such terminated Eligible Employee one-half (1/2) of the Retention Payment within thirty (30) days after the date of such termination, less any applicable required withholdings.  No Eligible Employee shall otherwise be entitled to any Retention Payment if such Eligible Employee resigns or terminates his or her employment for any reason other than those set forth in the foregoing sentence.  "Retention Payment" means, for each Eligible Employee, an amount of cash equal to the difference between (A) the product of (x) the average closing price of Seller's common stock on the five (5) trading days preceding (but not including) the Closing Date multiplied by (y) the number of unvested stock options issued by Seller and held by an Eligible Employee as of the Closing Date, less (B) the total aggregate exercise price of all such stock options referred to in clause (y) above.

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

8.1              Contracts

Beginning on the date hereof and ending 90 days following the Closing Date, each Party shall, and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, as soon as practicable, all Consensual Transfers and the Subsidiary Consents.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, nothing in this Agreement shall constitute an agreement to assign any Transferred Contract or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if the failure to obtain any Consensual Transfer with respect thereto would (i) constitute a breach of or other contravention thereof, (ii) be ineffective with respect to any party thereto, or (iii) in any way adversely affect the rights of Buyer or Seller, or their respective Subsidiaries, thereunder.  Pending receipt of such Consensual Transfers and for a period not to exceed three (3) years after the Closing Date, the Parties shall cooperate with each other to the extent practicable in establishing mutually agreeable, reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide to Buyer the benefits of use of such asset and to provide to Seller or a Subsidiary of Seller, as the case may be, the benefits that they would have obtained had the asset been conveyed to Buyer at the Closing.  To the extent that Buyer is provided the benefits pursuant to this Section 8.1 of any Contract, Buyer shall perform for the benefit of the other parties thereto the obligations of Seller or a Subsidiary of Seller, as the case may be, thereunder and pay, discharge and satisfy any related Liabilities that, but for the lack of a Consensual Transfer, would be Assumed Liabilities.  If, with respect to any Consensual Transfers, there is any financial cost to obtaining such consent, waiver, confirmation, novation or approval, then Seller shall bear such financial costs and any payment thereof.  In addition, Buyer shall reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless each of the Seller Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses incurred by it in connection with the good faith performance by Seller or any of it Subsidiaries of the obligations under (including any payment or incurrence of Liabilities by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries) those Contracts for which Buyer is provided the benefits pursuant to this Section 8.1.  If and to the extent that a Consensual Transfer is obtained after the Closing Date, the Contract for which such Consensual Transfer was obtained shall thereafter constitute a Transferred Asset and an Assumed Liability for all purposes under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any consents, novations or transfers applicable to the Transferred Assets, the Transferred IPR or the Assumed Liabilities are expressly addressed in the other Operative Agreements, such other provision shall be controlling and this Section 8.1 shall be deemed to apply only to the extent consistent with the intent of such other provision.

8.3              Access to Information

Except as may be necessary or appropriate to ensure compliance with respect to any applicable Laws and subject to any confidentiality obligations or applicable privileges (including privacy obligations under relevant employment law and attorney-client privilege), from the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, Seller will (a) give Buyer and its authorized representatives access to financial and operating data and other information relating to the Transferred Business during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, (b) give Buyer and its authorized representatives reasonable access to key employees of the Business, the identities of whom and the procedures and scope of which access to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties, (c) furnish to Buyer and its authorized representatives such financial and operating data and other information relating to the Transferred Business as Buyer may reasonably request, and (c) will instruct the Seller Representatives to cooperate with Buyer in its investigation of the Transferred Business, all for the purpose of enabling Buyer and its authorized representatives to conduct, at their own expense, legal, business and financial reviews, investigations and studies of the Transferred Business in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to provide any financial, operating data or other information that is not currently available through Seller's existing business processes or the creation of which would be unduly burdensome on Seller.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of any other Operative Agreement, Buyer shall not have access to such price and other competitive information as may invoke antitrust or similar legal restrictions, as determined by Seller in its reasonable judgment.  Any access to Seller's Real Property shall be subject to Seller's reasonable security measures and insurance requirements and shall not include the right to perform any "invasive" testing.

8.4              Books and Records

For a period of six (6) years from the Closing Date, or for such longer period as is required by applicable Laws, Buyer will permit Seller or its authorized representatives reasonable access, at Seller's expense, to information relating to the Transferred Business to the extent required by Seller to permit it to determine any matter relating to its rights and obligations under the Operative Agreements and its compliance with applicable Tax and financial reporting requirements, and any claim asserted in connection with an Assumed Liability.

8.5              Necessary Efforts; HSR Filings

(a)                Seller and its Subsidiaries and Buyer and its Subsidiaries agree to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements and to cause the conditions to each party's obligation to close the transactions contemplated hereby to be satisfied, including all actions necessary to obtain all licenses, certificates, permits, approvals, clearances, expirations or terminations of applicable waiting periods, authorizations, qualifications and orders, and including, for the avoidance of doubt, any actions necessary to ensure compliance with the UK OFT Undertakings (each a "Consent") of any Governmental Authority required for the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9.3 or Section 10.3, and necessary in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements.  Each of Seller and its Subsidiaries and Buyer and its Subsidiaries agree that (i) no contact will be initiated with, or Consent sought from, any Governmental Authority prior to the Closing Date without the written consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) other than with respect to antitrust or merger control matters, and (ii) each Party will be given prior notice of and a reasonable opportunity to consult with the other Party regarding contacts with Governmental Authorities regarding antitrust or merger control matters.  The Parties hereto shall cooperate fully with each other to the extent necessary in connection with the foregoing.

(b)               Buyer and Seller shall timely and promptly make all filings or submissions which may be required for the satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 9.3 or Section 10.3 by each of them in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of Seller and Buyer shall file notification and report forms under HSR or any other similar antitrust or merger control filings under applicable Laws as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement and in any event no later than (i) 10 Business Days following the date of this Agreement, in the case of notification and report forms under HSR, and (ii) the time prescribed by applicable Law in the case of requirements under other applicable antitrust or merger control Laws.  In addition, Buyer and Seller agree, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to cooperate and to use all necessary efforts and take all actions necessary to: obtain any Consents required for the Closing, including through compliance with HSR and any other applicable Laws, to respond to any requests for information from any Governmental Authority, and notwithstanding Section 8.5(c) below, to avoid and/or overcome any action, including any legislative, administrative or judicial action, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any judgment, injunction or other order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that restricts, prevents or prohibits, or could restrict, prevent or prohibit, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer and its Subsidiaries shall agree to divest, license, hold separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) or otherwise dispose, or agree to dispose of assets as, or if, required to avoid or overcome the objections of any Governmental Authority (each, a "Remedial Action"); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, and, for the avoidance of doubt, with the exception of Remedial Action in respect of the UK OFT Undertakings (which is dealt with separately in Section 8.5(d) below), nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to require Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries to take or agree to take any such action if such action would be reasonably likely to have a Buyer Material Adverse Effect on a combined basis with the Transferred Subsidiaries after the Closing.  Each party shall furnish to the other such necessary information and assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of any necessary filings or submissions by it to any Governmental Authority.  Except as prohibited or restricted by Law, each party or its attorneys shall provide the other party or its attorneys the opportunity to make copies of all correspondence, filings or communications (or memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between such party or its representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement, the other Operative Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.  Without in any way limiting the foregoing, the Parties will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto in connection with proceedings under or relating to HSR or other antitrust or merger control Laws.

61



(c)                Each of Buyer and Seller shall notify and keep the other advised as to (i) any material communication from the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC"), the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (the "DOJ") or any other Governmental Authority regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any communications with the UK Competition Authorities in relation to the UK OFT Undertakings, (ii) any litigation or administrative proceeding pending and known to such party, or to its knowledge threatened, which challenges, or would challenge, the transactions contemplated hereby and (iii) any event or circumstance which, to its knowledge, would constitute a Warranty Breach; provided, however, that the failure of Seller or Buyer to comply with this Section 0 shall not subject Seller or Buyer to any Liability hereunder in respect of any claim asserted after the relevant expiration date for the relevant representation or warranty; and provided further, that neither Buyer nor Seller may separately recover pursuant to Article 11 or otherwise for both a breach of this Section 0 and any Warranty Breach.  Subject to the provisions of Article 11, Seller and Buyer shall not take any action inconsistent with their obligations under this Agreement or, without prejudice to Buyer's rights under this Agreement, which would materially hinder or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d)               Buyer shall timely and promptly take all action necessary to ensure that the UK OFT Undertakings do not prevent or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including taking all and any Remedial Actions or other steps required by the UK Competition Authorities.

8.6              Taxes and Costs Relating to the Porges Asset Sale

(a)                Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Buyer shall indemnify Seller and hold Seller harmless from and against any Liability for Taxes (including, without limitation, withholding and Transfer Taxes) and all costs (including third-party costs) incurred by Porges in connection with the Porges Asset Sale.

(b)               Buyer shall also pay to Seller the following additional amounts: (i) 90% of the amount of foreign tax credits attributable to the Porges Asset Sale (such foreign tax credits, for purposes of this Agreement, shall be $7,875,000) (the "FTC Amount") that are determined to be unavailable to Seller following an audit of Seller or the promulgation of Treasury Regulations with final effect disallowing such foreign tax credits; (ii) 90% of the amount by which the FTC Amount is reduced by operating losses of Porges following the Closing; and (iii) 100% of the amount by which the foreign tax credits of Porges that would have been attributable to the operating income of Porges for the Pre-Closing Tax Period (determined under the principles of Section 8.7(a)) are reduced by the operating losses of Porges following the Closing.  For purposes of this subsection (b), operating losses shall be used first to reduce the operating income of Porges, and then to reduce the gain from the Porges Asset Sale.

62



(c)               Seller and Buyer shall provide each other with access to all information reasonably necessary to determine the accuracy of the amounts required to be determined by this Section 8.6.

8.7              Tax Matters

(a)               Returns; Indemnification; Liability for Taxes. 

(i)                Seller shall prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) on a timely basis all Tax Returns with respect to Seller and its Subsidiaries for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date and shall pay, and shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless against and from (A) all Taxes of Seller and its Subsidiaries for all taxable years or periods that end on or before the Closing Date; (B) all Taxes for which Seller or any of its Subsidiaries may be liable under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502‑6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law); and (C) with respect to any taxable period commencing before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date (a "Straddle Period") all Taxes of Seller and its Subsidiaries attributable to the Tax period prior to and including the Closing Date (the "Pre-Closing Tax Period") (the Taxes referred to in items (A), (B), and (C) of this sentence are referred to herein as "Pre-Closing Taxes"); provided, however, that to the extent that any such Taxes (i) are reflected as a Liability in the calculation of Net Working Capital as reflected on the Final Net Working Capital Statement, or (ii) are described in Section 8.6(a) ((i) and (ii), collectively, the "Assumed Taxes"), such Assumed Taxes shall not be considered "Pre-Closing Taxes" hereunder, and Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify Buyer for any such Assumed Taxes.  For purposes of this Agreement, the portion of any Tax that is attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be (A) in the case of a Tax that is not based on net income, gross income, premiums or gross receipts, the total amount of such Tax for the period in question multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Tax Period, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such Straddle Period, and (B) in the case of a Tax that is based on any of net income, gross income, premiums or gross receipts, the Tax that would be due with respect to the Pre-Closing Tax Period if such Pre-Closing Tax Period were a separate taxable period, except that exemptions, allowances, deductions or credits that are calculated on an annual basis (such as the deduction for depreciation or capital allowances) shall be apportioned on a per diem basis. 

(ii)               Buyer shall prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) on a timely basis all Tax Returns relating to the Transferred Assets or the operation of the Business (including all Tax Returns of the Transferred Subsidiaries) for periods ending after the Closing Date and shall pay and shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless against and from (A) all Taxes of Buyer and its Subsidiaries (including the Transferred Subsidiaries) for any taxable year or period commencing after the Closing Date; (B) all Taxes of Buyer and its Subsidiaries (including the Transferred Subsidiaries) for any Straddle Period other than Pre‑Closing Taxes; (C) all withholding Taxes incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; and (D) all Assumed Taxes.

63



(iii)              If, in order to properly prepare its Tax Returns or other documents required to be filed with the Governmental Authorities, it is necessary that a Party be furnished with additional information, documents or records relating to the Transferred Assets, both Seller and Buyer agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish or make available such nonprivileged information at the other's request, cost and expense; provided, however, that neither Party shall be entitled to review or examine the Tax Returns of the other Party (other than the Tax Returns related to MML, Porges and the Porges Asset Sale).

(b)               Refunds and Credits.  Any refunds and credits attributable to Pre‑Closing Taxes to the extent not taken into account in the calculation of Net Working Capital as reflected in the Final Net Working Capital Statement shall be for the account of Seller if properly reportable by Seller on any of its pre-Closing Tax Returns or with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period and any other refunds and credits shall be for the account of Buyer.  To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Buyer shall (or shall cause or permit its Subsidiaries to) elect to relinquish any carryback of a Tax attribute to any Pre-Closing Tax Period.  In cases where Buyer cannot elect to relinquish such carrybacks, Seller agrees to pay to Buyer the net Tax benefit received by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries from the use in any Pre-Closing Tax Period of a carryback of any Tax arising in a Post-Closing Tax Period.  If an audit or other examination of any Tax Return of Seller or its Subsidiaries for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, or of Buyer or its Subsidiaries for any taxable period ending after the Closing Date, shall result (by settlement or otherwise) in any adjustment, the effect of which is to increase deductions, losses or tax credits or decrease income, gains, premiums, revenues or recapture of tax credits ("Changes") of the other party, the audited party will notify such other party and provide it with all necessary information so that it can reflect on its Tax Returns any such Changes.  If as a result of such Changes, the other party enjoys a net Tax benefit, such party shall pay to the audited party the amount of such net Tax benefit.

(c)               Transfer Taxes.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) all Transfer Taxes arising in connection with the Porges Asset Sale shall be borne by Buyer as set forth in Section 8.6 of this Agreement; and (ii) all other Transfer Taxes and related fees incurred in connection with the Operative Agreements, and the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller.  To the extent reasonable and legally able to do so, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate with each other to minimize such Taxes.  The Party required by law to file a Tax Return with respect to such Transfer Taxes shall do so within the time period prescribed by law, and the other Party shall promptly reimburse the paying Party for such other Party's portion of the  Transfer Taxes so paid upon receipt of notice that such Transfer Taxes have been paid.

(d)               Post-Closing Actions by Buyer.  Following the Closing, Buyer shall not make any election under U.S. or foreign Tax law, cause any Transferred Subsidiary to pay a dividend, elect to carryback any loss or otherwise take any action that could adversely affect Seller without the prior written consent of Seller; provided, however, that, if requested by Seller, Buyer shall make a timely election under Section 338 of the Code, in form and substance satisfactory to Seller, with respect to the purchase of the Equity Interests of Porges and/or MML.

64



(e)                Tax Audit Support.  In the event and for so long as any Party actively is contesting or defending against any Tax audit or other investigation, claim or proceeding relating to a taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date involving Seller or its Subsidiaries, each Party shall cooperate with the other Party and its counsel in the contest or defense, make available their personnel, and provide such testimony and access to their books and records as shall be necessary in connection with the contest or defense, all at the sole cost and expense of the indemnifying Party.

8.8               Allocation of Purchase Price

The Preliminary Purchase Price shall be provisionally allocated by Seller and Buyer mutually not later than ten Business Days prior to the Closing Date and shall be set forth in the form substantially similar to Exhibit F attached hereto (the "Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation").  Not later than 30 days following the preparation of the Final Net Working Capital Statement, the Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation shall be adjusted by mutual agreement of the Parties (or if the parties cannot agree within such 30 days, by the CPA Firm within the following 30 days) to take into account the final determined amount of the Purchase Price and the final determined values of all Transferred Assets, it being understood that any such adjustment shall not adjust the total cash consideration set  forth in any of the Conveyance Documents (such adjusted allocation, the "Purchase Price Allocation").  Upon its completion, the Purchase Price Allocation shall become part of the Agreement.  Each of the Parties, when reporting the transactions consummated hereunder in its own Tax Returns, shall allocate the Purchase Price paid or received, as the case may be, in a manner that is consistent with the Purchase Price Allocation.  Additionally, each of the Parties will comply with, and furnish the information required by, Section 1060 of the Code, and any regulations thereunder.

8.9              Return of Excluded Assets

Promptly following the Closing, and in any event within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Buyer will remit to Seller an amount of cash equal to the amount of cash on the general ledger of each Transferred Subsidiary as of the Closing.  The remittance will be treated as a return of Excluded Assets and not as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.  If at any time within 12 months following the Closing Date, Buyer becomes aware of any other Excluded Assets that were delivered to Buyer in connection with the Operative Agreements, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller of the Excluded Assets in its possession, and shall return (or at Seller's discretion, destroy) such Excluded Assets, including all copies thereof.  In any case, Buyer agrees to keep and treat all Excluded Assets as "Evaluation Material" in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.  

 

65



8.10          Brokers

Seller shall be responsible for, and shall reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer for, all Losses arising from a claim by a finder or broker that it acted on behalf of Seller (or a Subsidiary thereof) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.  Buyer shall be responsible for, and shall reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless Seller for, all Losses arising from a claim by a finder or broker that it acted on behalf of Buyer (or a Subsidiary thereof) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

8.11          Further Assurances

From and after the Closing Date, Seller shall cooperate with Buyer and its representatives and shall execute and deliver such documents and take such other actions as Buyer may reasonably request, for the purposes of evidencing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and putting Buyer in possession and control of all of the Transferred Assets and Transferred IPR, especially to the extent located overseas; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall require Seller or its Affiliates to assist or cooperate with Buyer or any of its Affiliates in connection with any actual or threatened litigation, arbitration, mediation or other alternative dispute resolution procedure regarding the Transferred Business, except to the extent required by applicable Law or Article 11 (Indemnity), and to the extent that Seller or its Affiliates are required to do so by applicable Law (as distinguished from Article 11 (Indemnity)), Buyer shall promptly reimburse Seller for all out-of-pocket Expenses that it incurs in connection therewith.  From and after the Closing Date, the parties shall cooperate with each other and each party's Representatives and shall execute and deliver such documents and take such other actions as the other party may reasonably request, for the purpose of evidencing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and as otherwise set forth herein.  In addition, Buyer will make Transferred Employees reasonably available to Seller for the purpose of obtaining, maintaining, securing and defending the Intellectual Property Rights of Seller, at Seller's expense.

8.12          Mail Handling

Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer and/or its Affiliates shall have the right to open all mail and packages delivered to it that are addressed to Seller or any of the Transferred Subsidiaries relating to the Transferred Business, the Transferred Assets, the Transferred IPR or the Assumed Liabilities.  To the extent that Buyer and/or any of its Subsidiaries receives any mail or packages addressed to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries and delivered to Buyer and/or any of its Affiliates not relating to the Transferred Business, the Transferred Assets, the Transferred IPR or the Assumed Liabilities, Buyer shall promptly deliver such mail or packages to Seller.  After the Closing Date, Buyer may deliver to Seller any checks or drafts made payable to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries that constitute a Transferred Asset, and Seller shall promptly deposit such checks or drafts, and, upon receipt of funds, reimburse Buyer within five Business Days for the amounts of all such checks or drafts, or, if so requested by Buyer, endorse such checks or drafts to Buyer for collection.  To the extent Seller or any of its Subsidiaries receives any mail or packages addressed and delivered to Seller but relating to the Transferred Business, the Transferred Assets, the Transferred IPR or the Assumed Liabilities, Seller shall, or shall cause such Subsidiaries to, promptly deliver such mail or packages to Buyer.  After the Closing Date, to the extent that Buyer or any of its Affiliates receives cash or checks or drafts made payable to Buyer that constitute an Excluded Asset, Buyer shall promptly use such cash to, or deposit such checks or drafts and upon receipt of funds from such checks or drafts, reimburse Seller within five Business days for such amount received, or, if so requested by Seller, endorse such checks or drafts to Seller for collection.

66



8.13          Non‑Solicitation

(a)             Seller agrees that for a period of four (4) years from and after the Closing Date it shall not, and it shall cause and each of its Subsidiaries not to, without the prior written consent of Buyer, directly or indirectly, solicit to hire (or cause or seek to cause to leave the employ of Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries) (i) any Transferred Employee in the Territory, or (ii) any Person employed by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries in the Territory who became known to or was identified to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless, in the case of clause (i) or (ii) above, such Person ceased to be an employee of Buyer and/or its Subsidiaries at least six (6) months prior to such action by Seller or any of it Subsidiaries.

(b)             Except with respect to Transferred Employees, Buyer agrees that for a period of four (4) years from and after the Closing Date it shall not, and it shall cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, without the prior written consent of Seller, directly or indirectly, solicit to hire (or cause or seek to cause to leave the employ of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries) (i) any Person employed by Seller or any Subsidiary of Seller in the Territory immediately following the Closing or (ii) any Person employed by Seller or any Subsidiary of Seller in the Territory who became known to or was identified to Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless, in the case of clause (i) or (ii) above, such Person ceased to be an employee of Seller and/or its Subsidiaries at least six (6) months prior to such action by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries.

(c)              Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in Section 8.13(a) and Section 8.13(b) shall not prohibit the placement of bona fide public advertisements for employment by any party and not specifically targeted at, in the case of Seller, any Transferred Employee or any Person employed by Buyer or a Subsidiary of Buyer or, in the case of Buyer, any person employed by Seller.  Section 8.13(a) shall not apply to any Person employed outside of the United States who is hired by Seller or any Subsidiary of Seller (i) pursuant to any existing agreement with employee representatives by which Seller or any Subsidiary of Seller are bound or (ii) as a result of actions required to be taken by Seller or any Subsidiary of Seller in order to comply with local employment Laws.

8.14            Pre-Closing Integration Planning

During the period beginning on the date hereof and continuing until the Closing, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate and communicate with one another concerning pre-Closing communications and integration planning communications on a country-by-country basis. 

 

 

67



8.15          Confidentiality

(a)                Confidentiality Agreement.  The Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and survive the execution of this Agreement, the Closing, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and/or the termination of this Agreement for seven (7) years.  The Parties hereby agree that the term "Evaluation Material," as used in the Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed to include (i) all exhibits, schedules, certificates and other documents executed or delivered in connection with this Agreement, the other Operative Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, (ii) all proprietary and confidential information concerning Seller and its Subsidiaries, which includes all information with respect to the Business, and (iii) all documents and materials contained in Seller's data room, or otherwise furnished or made available (directly or indirectly) to Buyer or its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that after the Closing, with respect to Buyer, the foregoing shall not apply to such information that (1) is solely related to the Transferred Subsidiaries, Transferred Assets, Transferred IPR or Assumed Liabilities and (2) is not also related to any business or assets of Seller (or a Subsidiary thereof) not transferred to Buyer under this Agreement.  In addition, notwithstanding any other provision of the Confidentiality Agreement, and this Agreement, Buyer and its Affiliates and Seller and its Affiliates may include this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements in or as an exhibit to any report, form or registration statement filed with or furnished to the SEC.  Seller agrees to treat and hold confidential any information concerning the Business and the affairs of the Business that is not (other than by virtue of Seller's violation of this Section 0) generally available to the public; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 0 shall prohibit Seller or any of its Subsidiaries from complying with applicable Laws or the rules and regulations of any stock exchange or over the counter trading market on or through which Seller's securities are traded.

(b)               Release of Certain Confidentiality Obligations.  Effective as of the Closing, Seller shall, or shall cause its applicable Subsidiary to, release the Transferred Employees from any confidentiality obligations they may have to Seller (or a Subsidiary thereof) with respect to trade secret, confidential and other information that relates to the Business, but only to the extent such information does not also relate to any business or assets of Seller (or a Subsidiary thereof) not transferred to Buyer (or a Subsidiary thereof) under this Agreement.

8.16          Non-Competition

(a)                Seller agrees that for a period commencing on the Closing Date and terminating on the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller will not, and will cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates not to, engage, directly or indirectly, in a Competing Business anywhere in the Territory.  The foregoing restrictions will terminate in the event of a Change of Control of Seller.  The foregoing restrictions are reasonable and appropriate, do not exceed the protection necessary to secure the goodwill purchased, and do not place undue hardship on Seller. 

68



(b)               The remedy at law for any breach of the foregoing will be inadequate and Buyer, in addition to any other relief available to it, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damages.  If any provisions of any restrictive covenant contained herein, should be deemed to exceed the limitations allowed by applicable Law, then such provision shall be reformed to provide the maximum limitations permitted. 

(c)                Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 8.16 shall not restrict Seller or any Subsidiaries of Seller from acquiring and thereafter operating any Business Competitor (an "Acquired Entity") so long as (a) Seller or such Subsidiary, within three (3) months after such acquisition, offer to enter into good faith discussions for forty-five (45) days with Buyer for the purpose of providing Buyer the opportunity to (i) purchase the Competing Business from Seller or its Subsidiaries, or (ii) enter into a joint venture, distribution agreement or similar agreement with Seller or its Subsidiaries with respect to the Competing Business, with closing of a purchase (in (i)) or execution of an agreement (in (ii)) to occur within eighteen (18) months following the acquisition by Seller or its Subsidiaries of the Acquired Entity and (b) if Seller or such Subsidiary and Buyer fail to (i) consummate a transaction resulting in a purchase of the Competing Business by Buyer, or (ii) enter into a joint venture, distribution agreement or similar agreement with respect to the Competing Business after offering to enter into good faith discussions with Buyer for that purpose as contemplated by clause (a) above, Seller or such Subsidiary shall offer to enter into good faith discussions for forty-five (45) days with Buyer for the purpose of providing Buyer the opportunity to purchase the Competing Business from Seller or its Subsidiaries, or enter into a joint venture, distribution agreement or similar agreement with Buyer with respect to the Competing Business, if the terms offered are more favorable to those terms previously offered to the Buyer pursuant to clause (a) above, prior to entering into a similar arrangement with a third party.

8.17            Real Estate Matters

(a)              Real Property Lease Assignments.

(i)               Promptly following execution of this Agreement, Seller shall contact the Landlords under the Assigned Leases and seek each Landlord's consent to the assignment of the applicable Assigned Lease to Buyer and a release of Seller from further liability under the applicable Assigned Lease.  If Seller obtains prior to the Closing Date such consent, Seller shall assign to Buyer and Buyer shall accept from Seller an assignment of such Assigned Lease in accordance with Section 3.2 hereof (the "Real Property Lease Assignments").  Any such Real Property Lease Assignment shall be effective on the Closing Date and shall be on the terms of the lease assignment form reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller.

(ii)            Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consents and releases set forth in clause (i) above, but shall not be required to commence judicial proceedings for a declaration that a consent has been unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.  Seller shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, but shall not be required, to pay any additional consideration or provide any additional security or guarantees to the Landlords.  Buyer shall cooperate with Seller in attempting to obtain the consents and releases set forth above, including (i) providing financial statements, references and additional security and/or guarantees as may be requested by the relevant Landlords, (ii) entering into any amendments to the Leases as may be requested by the relevant Landlords or (iii) entering into direct Leases of the applicable premises leased under an Assigned Lease (the "Assigned Lease Premises") with the relevant Landlords, if requested by such Landlords.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Landlord under any Assigned Lease conditions its grant of a consent (including by threatening to exercise a "recapture" or other termination right) upon, or otherwise requires in response to a notice or consent request regarding this Agreement or any Operative Agreement, the payment of a consent fee, "profit sharing" payment or other consideration (including increased rent payments), or the provision of additional security (including a guaranty), Buyer shall be solely responsible for making all such payments or providing all such additional security.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that Seller makes any such payments, Buyer shall promptly reimburse Seller for such amounts.  Buyer shall not, however, communicate directly with any of Seller's Landlords without the prior written consent of Seller.

(iii)            If, despite the efforts of the parties as set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) above, a Landlord of an Assigned Lease Premises fails to consent to the assignment of the applicable Assigned Lease of such Assigned Lease Premises prior to the Closing Date, subject to Section 8.17(a)(iv) below:

(1)            Buyer shall be entitled to occupy the relevant Assigned Lease Premises as a licensee upon the terms and conditions contained in Seller's Assigned Lease of such Assigned Lease Premises.  Such license shall not be revocable due to the relevant Landlord's failure to consent, unless (A) the relevant Landlord formally, unconditionally refuses to consent or (B) an enforcement action or forfeiture by the relevant Landlord due to Buyer's occupation of such Assigned Lease Premises cannot, in the reasonable opinion of Seller, be avoided other than by requiring Buyer to immediately vacate the relevant Assigned Lease Premises.  In either such event, Seller may terminate the license by delivering written notice to Buyer, and Buyer shall vacate the relevant Assigned Lease Premises immediately or by such other date as may be specified in a notice served by Seller.  Buyer shall be solely responsible for, and shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Seller from, all losses, costs, damages, claims and liabilities incurred by Seller or Buyer as a consequence of Buyer's occupation of such Assigned Lease Premises, including as a result of any enforcement action taken by the relevant Landlord with respect to any breach by Seller of the relevant Assigned Lease in permitting Buyer to so occupy the relevant Assigned Lease Premises without obtaining the required consent.  Buyer shall not be entitled to make any claim or demand against, or obtain reimbursement from, Seller with respect to any costs, losses, claims, liabilities or damages incurred by Buyer as a consequence of being obliged to vacate an Assigned Lease Premises or in obtaining alternative premises, including any enforcement action which a Landlord may take against Buyer.

70



(2)              whether or not Buyer occupies such Assigned Lease Premises as licensee as provided above, Buyer shall, effective as of the Closing Date, (A) pay Seller all rents, service charges, insurance premiums and other sums payable by Seller under the relevant Assigned Lease of the Assigned Lease Premises, (B) observe and perform all of Seller's covenants, obligations and conditions contained in the relevant Assigned Lease of the Assigned Lease Premises and (C) indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Seller from and against all losses, costs, claims, damages and liabilities arising on account of any breach thereof by Buyer.  Immediately upon receipt of the relevant Landlord's consent to the assignment of an Assigned Lease Premises, as set forth above, Buyer and Seller shall enter into a Real Property Lease Assignment with respect to such Assigned Lease Premises.

(iv)            If, despite the efforts of the parties as set forth above, a Landlord of an Assigned Lease Premises formally, unconditionally refuses to consent to the assignment of the applicable Assigned Lease:

(1)              Without limiting Seller's rights as set forth in subparagraphs (2) and (3) below, Seller may by written notice to Buyer elect to apply to the relevant Landlord for consent to sublease all of the relevant premises to Buyer for the remainder of the relevant Assigned Lease term at a rent equal to the rent from time to time under the relevant Assigned Lease, but otherwise on substantially the same terms and conditions as the relevant Assigned Lease and pursuant to the terms of a reasonable sublease form prepared by Seller.  If Seller makes such an election after the Closing Date (or before the Closing Date, if the Landlord consent is not received before the Closing Date), the provisions of Section 8.17(a)(iii) will apply, except, on the grant of the consent required to sublease the Assigned Lease Premises in question, Seller shall sublease to Buyer the relevant Assigned Lease Premises as set forth herein.  If Seller makes such an election before the Closing Date and the relevant Assigned Lease consent is obtained before the Closing Date, Seller shall sublease to Buyer the relevant Assigned Lease Premises on the Closing Date as set forth above.

(2)              If the Landlord formally, unconditionally refuses such consent prior to the Closing Date, Seller may elect by written notice to Buyer to delete the relevant Assigned Lease from the term "Assigned Leases" hereunder.  In such case, on the Closing Date, Seller shall not assign or sublease such premises to Buyer, and Buyer shall vacate the relevant premises.  Buyer shall not be entitled to make any claim or demand against or obtain reimbursement from Seller with respect to any costs, losses, claims, liabilities or damages incurred by Buyer as a consequence of being obliged to vacate the applicable premises or obtaining alternative premises.

(b)            Space-Sharing Arrangements.  Buyer and Seller agree to negotiate in good faith the space-sharing arrangements at those facilities to be shared by Buyer and Seller or their respective Subsidiaries following the Closing, which arrangements will be on commercial terms equivalent to those that could be obtained in reasonable arms length market transactions, and with respect to the sublease of the properties located at 201 and 301 Mentor Drive, Santa Barbara, California 93111, arrangements substantially on the terms set forth on Schedule 8.17(b).

(c)             Casualty.  Buyer and Seller shall grant and accept the leases, assignments, subleases or licenses of the premises as described in this Section 8.17, regardless of any casualty damage or other change in the condition of the applicable premises.  In addition, in the event that any Assigned Lease is terminated prior to the Closing Date, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Section 3.2, (a) Seller or its applicable Subsidiary shall not be required to assign such premises, (b) Buyer or its applicable Subsidiary shall not be required to accept an assignment of such premises and (c) neither party shall have any further liability with respect to such premises hereunder.

8.18            Licensed Patent Schedule

(b)              On or promptly after the Closing Date, Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause a change of the corporate name of each Transferred Subsidiary that has "Mentor" as part of its corporate name with the applicable Governmental Authority in such a way so that "Mentor" is no longer part of the corporate name.

8.20            Business Permits

Beginning on the date hereof and ending 180 days following the Closing Date, Seller agrees that it shall (or, as applicable, cause its relevant Subsidiary to) use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer to effect the assignment, transfer or renewal of, or where applicable, re‑application for, the Business Permits.  Such assistance shall include cooperating with the gathering of information to be provided to the applicable Governmental Authority and responding to such other reasonable requests as are made by Buyer; provided, however, that Seller and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to incur any more than a nominal cost in providing such assistance and shall not be responsible for the payment of any Business Permit fees or related costs.

Buyer and Seller agree to cooperate in good faith to obtain, effective as of the Closing, the environmental insurance policies described on Schedule 8.21 naming Buyer and its relevant Subsidiaries as the named insureds and Seller and its relevant Subsidiaries as additional named insureds ("Environmental Insurance").  Buyer and Seller agree and acknowledge that Buyer and Seller shall equally bear the cost of the Environmental Insurance policy premium up to a total amount of $300,000, and Seller shall pay the full cost of any excess.  Buyer and Seller respectively shall complete any application and such other documents as are necessary to obtain the Environmental Insurance.  Buyer and Seller shall provide such additional information as may be required by the insurer following the date hereof.

(v)           the Existing Supply Agreement shall be assignable to a third party in connection with Buyer's sale of Buyer's UK MEC Business (excluding MECs developed independently by Buyer);

(vi)          during the term of the new supply agreement described in clause (ii) above, Seller will not transfer the manufacturing capacity (other than as a part of a Change of Control of Seller) of the Anoka Facility without the consent of Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (it being understood that it will be unreasonable to withhold consent if the transferee is capable of continuing the supply agreements referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) above and agrees to honor such agreements);

(2)            Buyer and its Subsidiaries agree not to voluntarily perform or permit to be performed any soil or groundwater testing of any kind or nature on the Other Business Property, except: (i) as required by a Governmental Authority pursuant to Environmental Laws; or (ii) with respect to the Real Property located at Avenue Edmond Rostand, Lieu-Dit Le Pontet, Sarlat-La-Caneda, France as further described in that certain Phase I Environmental Site Assessment prepared by GaiaTech dated February 2006 (the "Sarlat Property"), which testing occurs after the first anniversary of the Closing Date and then only at the request of a potential buyer in connection with a bona fide proposed sale of the Sarlat Property.  If such voluntary testing is performed, except as permitted in the previous sentence, the indemnity obligations of Seller in this Section 0 shall be null and void and of no further force and effect as to each particular legal parcel of Real Property upon which such testing was performed. 

(3)             Seller shall only be required to indemnify for any Other Business Property Environmental Losses suffered by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties to the extent such Losses are incurred as a result of a requirement of a Governmental Authority pursuant to Environmental Laws or, in the event of a claim by any other third Person, to the extent it is reasonable and necessary to incur such Losses pursuant to Environmental Laws.

(4)             Losses covered under this Section 0 shall not include diminution in property value of the relevant Other Business Property.

(5)             Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Other Business Property Environmental Losses shall only include those Losses arising under an Other Business Property Environmental Claim that has been made on or before that date which is four (4) years following the Closing Date.

(1)             The Seller Caused Environmental Losses must originate from a third Person claim including any claim of a Governmental Authority (i.e. other than a direct claim brought by any Buyer Indemnified Party) ("Seller Caused Environmental Claim").

82



(2)               The Seller Caused Environmental Losses can not arise as a result of soil or groundwater testing of any kind or nature that has been performed or permitted to be performed by Buyer or any Subsidiary of Buyer except as required by a Governmental Authority pursuant to Environmental Laws.  If such voluntary testing is performed, except as permitted in the previous sentence, the indemnity obligations of Seller in this Section 11.3(d)(iii) shall be null and void and of no further force and effect as to each particular legal parcel of Real Property upon which such testing was performed.

(3)               Seller shall only be required to indemnify for any Seller Caused Environmental Losses suffered by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties to the extent such Losses are incurred as a result of a requirement of a Governmental Authority pursuant to Environmental Laws or, in the event of a claim by any other third Person, to the extent it is reasonable and necessary to incur such Losses pursuant to Environmental Laws.

(4)               Losses covered under this Section 11.3(d)(iii) shall not include diminution in property value of the Real Property.

(5)               The Buyer shall bear the burden of proof that the relevant Environmental Condition constitutes Seller Caused Environmental Losses.

(iv)              Buyer hereby confirms that it has no present intention to perform any voluntary soil or groundwater testing of any kind or nature at any of the properties to be covered by the Environmental Insurance.

 

83



11.4            Procedures

Each Party agrees to give prompt written notice (such Party with the obligation to give notice, the "Indemnified Party") to the other Party (the "Indemnifying Party") of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement, including the estimated amount and other details of such claim; provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced by such lack of timely and adequate notice.  The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its election, to take over the defense or settlement of any third Person claim at its own Expense by giving prompt notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed of the progress of such third Person claim.  If the Indemnifying Party shall have so assumed the defense of any claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim, in its sole discretion without the prior consent of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that a condition to any such settlement shall be a complete release of the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim.  The Indemnifying Party agrees to consult with the Indemnified Party prior to entering into any settlement contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, it being expressly understood that such duty to consult does not in any way limit the Indemnifying Party's right to consent to a settlement or the entry of judgment in its sole discretion without obtaining the prior consent of the Indemnified Party.  The Indemnified Party shall at all times have the right, at its option and Expense, to participate fully in, but not to control, any such defense.  If the Indemnifying Party, within 20 days after receipt of the Indemnified Party's notice of claim, does not (i) give such notice to take over the defense of such claim and proceed diligently to defend the claim or (ii) object to such claim in writing to the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to undertake the defense of such claim for the account of and at the risk of the Indemnifying Party.  The Parties shall cooperate in defending any third Person claim, and the defending party shall have reasonable access to the books, records and personnel which are pertinent to the defense and which are in the possession or control of the other party.  The Parties agree that any Indemnified Party, at its own expense, may join an Indemnifying Party in any action, claim or proceeding brought by a third Person, as to which any right of indemnity created by this Agreement would or might apply, for the purpose of enforcing any right of indemnity granted to such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement.

(a)                Any claim for indemnification made directly by a Party and which does not result from a third Person claim or action, shall be asserted by written notice.  The Indemnifying Party shall have a period of 45 days within which to respond thereto.  If the Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 45‑day period, such Party shall be deemed to have accepted responsibility to make payment and shall have no further right to contest the validity of such claim. 

(b)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) no investigation by or knowledge of Buyer shall affect or limit Buyer's rights to indemnity contained in this Article 11, and (ii) Buyer's inability to recover for Losses under Section 11.3(a)(i) (whether due to the scope of a particular representation or warranty or otherwise) shall not preclude Buyer from recovering under any other subsection of Section 11.3(a), each such subsection being an independent basis for indemnification.

(c)                The Parties acknowledge that the provisions of Section 13.7 and that the same applies to all indemnity claims hereunder

 

84



11.5          Limitation on Recovery

With respect to any Losses for which indemnification is sought pursuant to Section 11.3, the Seller shall not be liable, except in the case of fraud, for any Losses relating to any matter to the extent that a specific liability or reserve relating to the matter was taken into account in the calculation of Net Working Capital as reflected in the Final Net Working Capital Statement. With respect to any Losses for which indemnification is sought pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 11.3, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable, except in the case of fraud, for any special, consequential or punitive damages, including loss of profits or goodwill, except (i) to the extent a Governmental Authority has required, or a third party settlement has provided (to the extent the Indemnifying Party has consented to the settlement and the amounts payable thereof, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), such amounts to be paid to a third Person or (ii) with respect to consequential damages, as provided in Section 8.27.

11.6          Duty to Mitigate

(a)             Each Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Losses for which indemnification may be sought pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 11.3, including (i) using its commercially reasonable efforts to secure payment from insurance policies available and in existence (including the Environmental Insurance) that provide coverage with respect to such Losses (an "Insurance Payment") and (ii) using its commercially reasonable efforts to secure reimbursement, indemnity or other payment from any third Person obligated by Contract or otherwise to reimburse, indemnify or pay the Indemnified Party with respect to such Loss (a "Third Party Payment" and, together with an Insurance Payment, a "Mitigation Payment"), it being understood and agreed that the Indemnified Party shall not be required to exhaust or conclude its remedies with respect to such Mitigation Payments prior to seeking indemnification from the Indemnifying Party under Section 11.2 or Section 11.3, as the case may be.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the recovery by an Indemnified Party from any Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 11.3, as the case may be, shall not relieve the Indemnified Party of its obligation to mitigate Losses pursuant to this Section 11.6(a).

(b)            Any amounts payable by an Indemnifying Party with respect to a particular Loss pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 11.3, as the case may be, shall be reduced by the amount of Mitigation Payment, if any, received by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Loss prior to payment therefor by the Indemnifying Party.  In the event an Indemnifying Party makes a payment with respect to a particular Loss pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 11.3, as the case may be, and thereafter the Indemnified Party receives a Mitigation Payment with respect to such Loss, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Mitigation Payment and (ii) the amount so paid by the Indemnifying Party.

(c)             The Parties agree to treat indemnification payments as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(d)             The Parties acknowledge and agree that a Party's reporting to a Governmental Authority under a good faith belief of a duty to report under applicable Law does not violate the Party's duty to mitigate.

 

85



11.7           Escrow Fund

At the Closing, the Escrow Amount shall be deposited by Buyer with the Escrow Agent, such deposit to constitute an escrow fund (the "Escrow Fund") and to be governed by the terms set forth herein and in the Escrow Agreement.  The Escrow Fund shall be available as security for the indemnification obligations of Seller for any Warranty Breach pursuant to Section 11.3(a)(i).  Buyer shall pay all fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent in connection with the administration of the Escrow Fund.

11.8          Indemnity is the Exclusive Remedy

Each Party acknowledges and agrees that after the Closing Date, absent fraud, its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to or arising out of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the other Party (or its Subsidiaries) in the Operative Agreements shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions of this Article 11; provided, however, that in the event of any Warranty Breach arising under Section 5.25 (Sufficiency), Seller may, in its sole discretion and in lieu of payment of money damages, cure such breach by delivering or otherwise conveying sufficient rights to the asset or assets in question giving rise to such Warranty Breach; provided further that to the extent any provision in this Agreement (other than this Article 11) or any other Operative Agreement expressly creates an indemnity obligation in one of the Parties, the provisions of this Article 11 will apply to such provision to the extent not inconsistent therewith.  However, nothing set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit or limit either Party's right at any time before, on or after the Closing Date, to seek injunctive or other equitable relief for the failure of the other Party to perform any covenant or agreement contained in any Operative Agreement, and the pursuit of injunctive relief shall not affect, modify or diminish in any way a Party's right to monetary relief in arbitration pursuant to Section 0.

11.9          Assignment of Claims

If an Indemnified Party receives any payment from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Loss pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 11.3 and the Indemnified Party could reasonably have recovered all or a part of such Loss from a third Person (a "Potential Contributor") based on the underlying claim asserted against the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall assign such of its rights to proceed against the Potential Contributor but only to the extent necessary to permit the Indemnifying Party to recover from the Potential Contributor the amount of such payment.

11.10       No Set‑Off

Neither Party may set‑off Losses against other payments to be made by the respective Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement without the written consent of the other Party.

(b)             by either Party if:

(i)              a Law is in effect having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting, in a material respect, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which Law is final and nonappealable (and for the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer shall have no right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.2(b)(i) by reason of the fact that it is in breach of the UK OFT Undertakings); or

(ii)             the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the End Date; provided, however, that the failure of the Closing to occur is not due to a material breach hereof by the Party seeking termination;

(c)             by Buyer:

(i)              in the event of a Warranty Breach or Covenant Breach by Seller such that the conditions set forth in Section 9.6 or Section 9.2, as applicable, would not be satisfied; provided, however, that Seller is given notice to cure such breach and does not cure such breach within 60 days after receipt of notice from Buyer requesting such breach be cured; or

(ii)             if a Seller Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred since the date hereof; or

(d)             by Seller:

(i)               if a Buyer Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred since the date hereof; or

(ii)             in the event of a Warranty Breach or Covenant Breach by Buyer such that the conditions set forth in Section 10.6 or Section 10.2, as applicable, would not be satisfied; provided, however, that Buyer is given notice to cure such breach and does not cure such breach within 60 days after receipt of notice from Seller requesting such breach be cured.

12.3          Notice of Termination

Any Party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 0 shall give written notice of such termination to the other Party.

12.4          Effect of Termination

In the event that this Agreement shall be validly terminated pursuant to this Article 12, this Agreement shall forthwith terminate and be of no further force and effect; provided, however, that (a) any agreements contained herein that expressly provide for survival after termination of this Agreement and Section 8.15 and Article 13 shall survive the termination hereof, and (b) nothing herein shall relieve any Party from liability for any willful breach of this Agreement or fraud arising prior to such valid termination.  Termination of this Agreement shall not limit the Liability of any Party except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.

13.7          Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue; Arbitration of Indemnification Disputes; Injunctive Relief

(a)            This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to any conflicts of law principles.  The parties hereto irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court located in Minneapolis, Minnesota for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby (except for claims, disputes or controversies arising out of or relating to Article 11 (including all its subsections), which shall be governed by subsection (b) below).  Each of the parties hereto, further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such party's respective address set forth in Section 13.1 shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in Minneapolis, Minnesota with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth above in the immediately preceding sentence.  Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding set forth above arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

90



(b)            Any claims, disputes or controversies arising out of or relating to Article 11 (including all its subsections), including any dispute concerning arbitrability or the scope of this arbitration clause, shall be exclusively settled by binding arbitration pursuant to the Commercial Rules ("Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") (it being expressly understood and agreed that any such claims, disputes and remedies shall be subject to the provisions of Article 11, including but not limited to Section 11.8 thereof).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, arbitration may be commenced at any time following the expiration of the last counternotice period provided in subsection (b) above by any Party hereto in Minneapolis, Minnesota, by giving written notice to AAA in such place, and to each other Party, that such claim or dispute has been referred to arbitration under this Section 0.  The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted, using Minnesota law, and applicable federal law, before a single neutral arbitrator (or, in the case of a claim exceeding One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000), before a panel of three (3) neutral arbitrators), each of whom shall have experience with mergers and acquisitions.  Any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) shall be conclusive, final and binding upon the Parties hereto, and nonappealable to any court or forum; provided, however, that any such award shall be accompanied by a concise written opinion giving the reasons for the award.  Judgment upon such award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  Each Party shall pay its own expenses of arbitration. 

13.8          Waiver of Jury Trial

Each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement, the other Operative Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.  Each Party hereby (a) certifies that no representative, agent or counsel of the other Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that the other Party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, and (b) acknowledges that it and the other Party have been induced to enter into the Operative Agreements by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications contained in this Section 13.8.

13.9          Public Announcement

The Parties shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or making any other public announcement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and, except as required by any applicable Laws, regulatory requirement or the rules of any national or foreign stock exchange upon which their respective securities are listed for trading, neither of them shall issue any such press release or make any such public announcement without the prior written consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

13.10        Expenses

Except as otherwise provided herein, each Party shall be responsible for all expenses incurred by it and its Subsidiaries (it being understood that effective upon the Closing, the Transferred Subsidiaries shall become Subsidiaries of Buyer), respectively, in connection with the negotiation and settlement of this Agreement and the Operative Agreements and the completion of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

13.11       Exclusion of Certain Damages

EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 11.5 OR IN THE CASE OF FRAUD, NEITHER BUYER (INCLUDING BUYER'S SUBSIDIARIES) NOR SELLER (INCLUDING SELLER'S SUBSIDIARIES) SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS OR GOODWILL, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ASPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER OPERATIVE AGREEMENTS.

 

91



13.12       Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such determination shall not impair or affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, and each provision is hereby declared to be separate, severable and distinct.  To the extent that any such provision is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties shall act in good faith to substitute for such provision, to the extent possible and as necessary, a new provision with content and purpose as close as possible to the provision so determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

13.13      Successors and Assigns

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding on and enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Neither Party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, however, that Buyer may assign or delegate its rights, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement in whole or in part to one or more Subsidiaries of Buyer without the consent of Seller if and so long as Buyer shall remain fully liable for the fulfillment of all such obligations; provided, further, that Seller may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement in connection with a transfer or sale of all or substantially all of Seller's assets provided that the assignee agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement.  Buyer and Buyer Subsidiaries shall have the right without consent of Seller to assign their rights under this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements as collateral to their respective lenders after reasonable prior notice to the other Party.  Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 13.13 shall be void and no assignment by Buyer or Seller to a Subsidiary thereof will relieve Buyer or Seller from any of their respective obligations hereunder.  Nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or should be construed to confer upon or give to any Person other than the parties hereto and their representatives, successors and assigns any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

13.14      Amendment and Waivers

No amendment, modification or waiver of, or supplement to, any provision of this Agreement shall be binding on any Party unless consented to in writing by such Party.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provision, and no waiver shall constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise provided.

13.15      Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of Buyer and Seller has caused this Agreement to be executed by its duly authorized representative as of the date and year first written above.

Article 2

PURCHASE AND SALE OF ASSETS; ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES

2.1                Transferred Assets; Transferred IPR

(a)                 Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, including Section 2.3, Article 9 and Article 10, as of the Closing Date, Seller shall, and/or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Buyer, or if so requested by Buyer, to a Subsidiary of Buyer, free and clear of all Encumbrances, and Buyer shall purchase and accept from Seller and its Subsidiaries, the Transferred Assets.

(b)                 Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, including Section 2.3, Article 9 and Article 10, as of the Closing Date Seller shall, and/or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Buyer, or if so requested by Buyer, to a Subsidiary of Buyer, free and clear of all Encumbrances, all right, title and interest of Seller and its Subsidiaries in and to the Transferred IPR, including the right to pursue past damages based on third‑party infringement of the Transferred IPR, and also including the goodwill of the Business appurtenant to the Transferred Marks included in the Transferred IPR.

(c)                 Buyer hereby waives compliance with the provisions of any applicable Laws which relate to the sale of property in bulk in connection with the transfer of the Transferred Assets to the Buyer.

2.2                Assumed Liabilities

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, as of the Closing Date, Seller shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, assign and transfer to Buyer, and Buyer shall, or shall cause the Buyer Subsidiaries to, assume and fully perform and discharge, on a timely basis and in accordance with their respective terms, the Assumed Liabilities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than the Assumed Liabilities specifically listed on Schedule 1.6, Buyer assumes no Liabilities of Seller, its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing shall include or be deemed to include among or within the Transferred Business, Transferred Assets, Transferred IPR, Transferred Internet Properties, any assets, Liabilities, IP, IPR or other property rights, or any Liabilities whatsoever with respect to, the ObTape® brand products, including any components thereof, any instruments or other accessories sold in conjunction with and for use strictly with ObTape®, and Marks, advertising and marketing materials used strictly with ObTape®.

2.3                Conveyances

Promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of Buyer and Seller will cooperate in good faith to prepare and execute appropriate Contracts to convey or transfer the Transferred Assets, Transferred IPR and Assumed Liabilities held by Seller or its Subsidiaries to Buyer in connection with the Closing, or if so requested by Buyer, Subsidiaries of Buyer (the "Buyer Subsidiaries").  Each of the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such transfers to be effected on the most efficient basis, including minimizing Transfer Taxes.  Such transfers shall be on terms (including conditions to Closing, representations and warranties, covenants and indemnification obligations) consistent with this Agreement, including the Purchase Price Allocation, except and only to the extent of modifications required to provide for the intent of this Agreement under applicable Laws (and in such case the minimal modifications required to do so) as may be required by applicable Laws.  Where appropriate, each of Buyer and Seller will cause its Subsidiaries to comply with any applicable Laws prior to entering into the Conveyance Documents.  With respect to any Transferred Assets, Transferred IPR or Assumed Liabilities, one or more bills of sale, assignment and assumption agreement, or similar conveyance documents as may be required under the Laws of the applicable jurisdiction to validly convey, assign and transfer such Transferred Assets, Transferred IPR or Assumed Liabilities (the "Conveyance Documents") may be used by Buyer or Seller in place of the Bills of Sale or the Assumption Agreement, as applicable.  The Parties agree that the Conveyance Documents are not intended to expand or limit the rights and obligations of Seller and Buyer beyond those provided for in this Agreement, and that the Conveyance Documents shall not provide for any additional rights or obligations of the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries that are not provided for in this Agreement or the other Operative Agreements (it being understood that for purposes of this sentence only, Operative Agreements shall not include the Conveyance Documents).  In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Conveyance Documents and this Agreement, the Parties agree and acknowledge that the terms of this Agreement shall control and that, if necessary, the Parties shall deliver such additional instruments as may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

17

2.4                Net Working Capital Adjustment

(a)                 Within 60 days after the Closing Date, Buyer will prepare (i) a balance sheet as of the Closing Date, (the "Closing Date Balance Sheet"), which Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP on a consistent basis with the Year-End Financials, and (ii) a statement of Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the "Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement", and together with the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the "Closing Statements"), which Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement shall be derived from the Closing Date Balance Sheet.  Seller will assist and cooperate with Buyer in the preparation of the Closing Statements, including by providing Buyer with reasonable access to any relevant personnel, books and records related to the Transferred Assets, the Transferred IPR and the Assumed Liabilities and historical financial data that are in Seller's possession.  A spreadsheet illustrating the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement (assuming in each case that the Closing Date had occurred on December 31, 2005) is attached as Exhibit D hereto for illustrative purposes.

(b)                 Following the delivery by Buyer to Seller of the Closing Statements, Seller shall have a period of 30 days in which to review the Closing Statements.  Seller and its accountants shall be provided with reasonable access to the Transferred Assets and the Transferred IPR, the work papers of Buyer and its accountants and to the books and records relating to the Transferred Assets, the Transferred IPR and the Assumed Liabilities in connection with such review.  In the event that Seller determines that the Closing Statements have not been prepared on a basis consistent with the requirements of Section 2.4(a), Seller shall, on or before the last day of such 30‑day period, inform Buyer in writing of such determination (the "Objection"), setting forth in reasonable detail a specific description of the basis of the Objection, the adjustments to the Closing Statements which Seller believes should be made, and Seller shall be deemed to have accepted any items not specifically disputed in the Objection.  Failure to so notify Buyer shall constitute acceptance and approval of Buyer's preparation of the Closing Statements.

(c)                 Buyer shall then have 30 days following the date it receives the Objection to review and respond to the Objection, during which period Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the Objection.  If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve all of their disagreements with respect to the determination of the foregoing items by the 30th day following the date on which Buyer receives the Objection, after having used their good faith efforts to reach a resolution, they shall refer their remaining differences to KPMG LLP (or, if KPMG refuses to act in such capacity, such other nationally recognized accounting firm as the Parties shall reasonably agree) (the "CPA Firm"), who shall, acting as experts in accounting and not as arbitrators, determine on a basis consistent with the requirements of Section 2.4(a), whether and to what extent, if any, the Closing Statements require adjustment.  Buyer and Seller shall request the CPA Firm to use all reasonable efforts to render its determination within 45 days following submission of such matters to the CPA Firm.  The CPA Firm's determination shall be final, conclusive and binding upon Buyer and Seller, and nonappealable to any Person, court or forum absent manifest error or manifest bias.  Buyer and Seller shall promptly make reasonably available to the CPA Firm access to the Transferred Assets, all relevant books and records, any work papers (including those of the Parties' respective accountants, to the extent applicable) and supporting documentation relating to the Closing Statements and all other items reasonably requested by the CPA Firm.  The "Final Balance Sheet" and the "Final Net Working Capital Statement" shall mean, respectively, the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Net Working Capital Statement, as the case may be, (i) as submitted by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.4(a), in the event that (1) no Objection is delivered to Buyer during the initial 30‑day period specified above or (2) Buyer and Seller so agree, (ii) as adjusted in accordance with the Objection, in the event that (A) Buyer does not respond to the Objection during the 30‑day period specified above following receipt by Buyer of the Objection or (B) Buyer and Seller so agree, (iii) as adjusted in accordance with the agreement of Buyer and Seller, if the Parties so agree during the 30‑day period following receipt by Buyer of the Objection, or (iv) as adjusted by the CPA Firm, if it has been submitted to the CPA Firm for review, together with any other modifications to the Closing Statements agreed upon by the Parties.  All fees and expenses of the CPA Firm shall be shared equally by Buyer and Seller.

(d)                 If the Net Working Capital Target is greater than the Net Working Capital as reflected on the Final Net Working Capital Statement (the amount of such excess, the "Downward Adjustment Amount"), then Seller shall pay within ten (10) days to Buyer cash equal to the amount of the Downward Adjustment Amount.  If the Net Working Capital as reflected on the Final Net Working Capital Statement is greater than the Net Working Capital Target (the amount of such excess, the "Upward Adjustment Amount"), then Buyer shall pay within ten (10) days to Seller cash equal to the amount of the Upward Adjustment Amount.  Any payment pursuant to this Section 2.4(d) will be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

2.5                No Withholding

Buyer shall make all payments required to be made to Seller hereunder free and clear of and without reduction for any withholding taxes which shall be the sole responsibility of Buyer.

18

4.4                License-Back Other IPR

Subject to Section 8.16, Buyer and its Subsidiaries shall and do hereby grant to Seller and its Subsidiaries under all rights in the License-Back Other IPR transferred to Buyer hereunder, and Seller and its Subsidiaries retain thereunder, a non-exclusive, worldwide, non-terminable, irrevocable, perpetual, assignable, sublicensable license to use, copy, distribute, otherwise transfer, create derivative works from, display, and perform the Licensed-Back Other IPR (and associated Technology) in all fields; provided, that (i) Seller agrees that it will not knowingly and specifically assign or sublicense such Licensed-Back Other IPR to a third party on a stand-alone basis in the Licensed Field and that the foregoing licenses shall be subject to Section 4.6 with respect to any Trade Secrets included in the License-Back Other IPR; (ii) the forgoing license to the Transferred Trade Secrets included in the Licensed Back Other IPR is limited in the Licensed Field to a license to Residuals only; and (iii) the foregoing license to the Transferred Copyrights included in the Licensed Back Other IPR excludes the use of the tangible embodiments of any such Copyrights in the Licensed Field.  "Residuals" means Trade Secret information retained in the unaided memory of employees that have been exposed to such Trade Secret information.

21

4.8                Products Outside of Licensed Field and License-Back Field

In the event that Seller and/or its Subsidiaries shall make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, or import a product outside of the License-Back Field that, absent a license, infringes or would infringe any of the Transferred Patents, Seller shall so notify Buyer, and thereafter, Buyer shall license to Seller such Transferred Patents for use in such field of use (but in no event within the Licensed Field) upon commercially reasonable terms, which such terms shall be negotiated in good faith by Buyer and Seller (the foregoing, the "Patent Covenant").  If Seller infringes any Transferred Patents outside the License-Back Field and does not seek a license to such Patents in accordance with the foregoing Patent Covenant, Buyer's sole and exclusive remedy shall be to bring an action seeking a reasonable royalty for a license to such Patents and for past royalty payments that would have been due; provided, however, Buyer (or any successor to the Transferred Patents) shall not have the right to seek or obtain an injunction against Seller's infringement of such Patents and if Buyer is the prevailing party in such action, Buyer shall be entitled to payment of Buyer's legal fees and expenses by Seller.  Buyer agrees that in the event of an assignment or transfer of any of the Transferred Patents, Buyer (and any subsequent transferee) shall obtain the agreement of the transferee or successor to such Transferred Patents, for the benefit of Buyer and its successors, to the Patent Covenant.  In the event that Buyer (or any subsequent transferee of the Transferred Patents) fails to obtain agreement to such Patent Covenant, the Seller shall be deemed to have, effective as of the date hereof, a non-exclusive, royalty free, perpetual worldwide license to such Patents in all fields other than the Licensed Field.

4.9                Bulking Agent and/or Toxin

In the event that Seller shall seek to first commercialize a dermal filler or other bulking agent or toxin (including a botulinum toxin), as the case may be, in the Licensed Field after the Closing Date, then Seller shall provide Buyer the reasonable opportunity to discuss in good faith a mutually beneficial arrangement for the commercialization of such dermal filler or other bulking agent or toxin, as the case may be, in the Licensed Field; in no event such opportunity to be later than thirty (30) days prior to Seller entering into an agreement, if any, for such first commercialization with a third party.  Seller's obligations under this Section 4.9 shall terminate on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Closing Date.

4.10            Exclusive Patent

If Schedule 1.182 omits any Patents owned by Seller as of the Closing Date that as of the Closing Date claim an invention that is exclusive to the Licensed Field, Buyer shall, as its sole and exclusive remedy for such omission, be granted and shall have effective as of the Closing Date, a perpetual, worldwide, royalty free, paid-up license in the Licensed Field to such Patent with the right to bring an action for the infringement of such Patent or Patents in the Licensed Field.  Such license shall be exclusive in the Licensed Field as of the date the determination is made that such Patent was omitted from Schedule 1.182.

4.11            License to Transition Marks

(a)                 Seller hereby grants to Buyer, effective as of the Closing Date, a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable license under the Transition Marks (as defined below) to use such Transition Marks in connection with the marketing, packaging, sale and promotion of Transition Products (as defined below) in substantially the same manner that such Transition Marks were used by Seller prior to the Closing.  All goodwill associated with the use of such Transition Marks shall inure to the benefit of Seller.

(b)                 Buyer shall maintain the quality of the goods with which such Transition Marks are used at least at the same level maintained by Seller prior to the Closing.  Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer shall not (i) use the Transition Marks in a manner that detracts from the goodwill associated with such Transition Marks or in a manner contrary to the reasonable instructions of Seller, (ii) co-brand the Products with any other Marks without the prior written consent of Seller, or (iii) sell any Transition Product beyond its shelf life or in any other improper manner.  Buyer shall not make any warranty, express or implied, to any third party on behalf of Seller with respect to the Transition Products and except as may be otherwise provided under this Agreement shall be solely responsible for all Transition Products sold by it.

(c)                 Notwithstanding the license set forth in Section 4.1(a), Buyer will use reasonable commercial efforts, subject to regulatory requirements, to cease using the Transition Marks as promptly as practicable following the Closing, and replace such Marks with new Marks owned by Buyer.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event may Buyer market, package, sell or promote any product under or bearing a Transition Mark that shall have been manufactured by or for Buyer which manufacture shall have occurred after the last day of the 18th month following the Closing Date.

(d)                 Buyer will sell Transition Products in inventory on a first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis.  Buyer will not increase inventory levels of Transition Products beyond levels consistent with historic inventory levels of such Transition Products.

22

(e)                 For the purposes of this Section 4.11, (A) "Transition Products" means (i) all Products in Seller's inventory as of the Closing Date and (ii) all such Products manufactured by or for Buyer in accordance herewith and sold by Buyer under a Transition Mark; and (B) "Transition Marks" means all Marks used by Seller prior to the Closing Date in connection with the marketing, sale, promotion and packaging of the Transition Products.

Article 5

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER

Subject to the Schedules and the disclosures and exceptions set forth in the Disclosure Letter delivered by Seller to Buyer on the date hereof (the "Disclosure Letter") (which disclosures and exceptions will reference the appropriate section of this Article 5 to which they relate and each of which disclosures and exceptions shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the representations and warranties; provided, that any information disclosed in the Disclosure Letter shall be deemed disclosed and incorporated in any other section, subsection, clause and paragraph hereof where it is reasonably apparent that such disclosure is applicable to such other section, subsection, clause or paragraph) Seller hereby makes the following representations and warranties to Buyer as of the Offer Date:

(b)                 Each of the Transferred Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (to the extent such jurisdiction recognizes the concept or similar concept) under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it was formed.  Each of the Transferred Subsidiaries has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver each of the Operative Agreements (if applicable) to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder.  Each of the Transferred Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business in and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where such qualification is necessary, except for those jurisdictions where failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Seller or prevent the performance by Seller of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Operative Agreements to which it is a party.

Each such offer shall provide for employment by Buyer effective only as of and after the Closing Date and at a job responsibility level and title that is substantially similar to or higher than such Offered Employee's employment with Seller for the year prior to the date of the offer.  Effective only as of the Closing and after the Closing Date, Buyer will hire each Offered Employee who accepts the offer of employment extended to such individual by Buyer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any U.S. Employee who is, at the time an offer of employment is required under this Section 7.1(a), on a Seller (or a Subsidiary thereof) approved leave of absence from work, shall not become an employee of Buyer (and shall not be considered a Transferred Employee) unless and until such employee becomes eligible to return to active employment within one year after the Closing Date in accordance with Seller's human resource policies and applicable Laws and is accepted for employment by Buyer in its discretion and actually commences employment with Buyer.

37

(c)                 401(k) Plan.  To the extent permitted under Section 401(k) of the Code and regulations issued thereunder, Voluntary Transfer Employees who participate in Seller's 401(k) plan shall be eligible to receive, at their election, a distribution of their account balance from Seller's 401(k) plan after the Closing Date.  Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to cause its 401(k) plan to accept eligible rollovers of such distributions, provided that Buyer determines that receipt of any such rollover will not result in a disqualification of Buyer's 401(k) plan.  Rollovers relating to any Voluntary Transfer Employee may include participant loans.

(d)                 FSA.  Promptly after the Closing Date, Seller shall transfer and Buyer shall accept the flexible spending account elections, liabilities and accounts (maintained pursuant to Code Sections 105 and 129) of the Voluntary Transfer Employees under Seller's Section 125 plan flexible spending arrangement.  Promptly after the Closing Date, Seller shall cause to be transferred to Buyer the aggregate net cash amount (determined immediately prior to the Closing) for contributions paid (but not yet reimbursed) by or on behalf of the Voluntary Transfer Employees under Seller's Section 125 plan flexible spending arrangement.

(e)                 Vacation.  Seller shall allow Transferred Employees to transfer any accrued but unused vacation time (which vacation time was accrued in accordance with Seller's policies consistent with past practice) to Buyer.   With respect to Voluntary Transfer Employees, only those Voluntary Transfer Employees who submit a vacation consent form, prior to the Closing Date, are eligible to transfer vacation time to Buyer.  To the extent permitted by Law, Buyer shall assume such accrued but unused vacation time of the Transferred Employees and allow each Transferred Employee to use such accrued vacation time after the Closing Date.  The transfer of vacation time shall not affect each Transferred Employee's accrual of vacation under Buyer's vacation policies.  Seller shall be liable for and pay in cash an amount equal to any accrued but unused vacation time to any (i) Voluntary Transfer Employee who has not executed a vacation consent form or (ii) any Offered Employee who declines to accept Buyer's offer of employment made in accordance with Section 7.1(a) and whose employment terminates prior to the Closing Date.

(ii)            Subject only to the requirements of local Law in the relevant jurisdiction, Buyer shall not assume any accrued Retirement Benefits liabilities relating to the Automatic Transfer Employees in respect of their Years of Service prior to the Closing.  If Buyer is required by local Law or the terms of any existing Seller Retirement Plan to assume any accrued Retirement Benefits liabilities relating to the Automatic Transfer Employees in respect of their Years of Service prior to the Closing, and provided the assets associated with such liabilities are retained by Seller (or a Subsidiary thereof) at the Closing, Seller will treat all such Retirement Benefits liabilities as Excluded Liabilities and, to the extent required by the terms of the applicable Seller Retirement Plan and applicable Law, shall pay all such benefits as and when they become payable; and

(iii)            Years of Service in respect of the Automatic Transfer Employees under any Seller Retirement Plan shall count as Years of Service under any relevant retirement benefit arrangement operated or nominated by Buyer for the purpose of vesting, eligibility for benefits, early retirement or termination subsidies, levels of contribution and, subject to Section 7.1(b) (relating to non‑duplication of benefits) and Section 7.2(b)(i), benefit accrual.

7.5                Severance

(a)                 Buyer shall provide any Transferred Employee whose employment is terminated by Buyer (other than employees terminated (a) for Cause or (b) by reason of such employee's Poor Performance) or who resigns as a result of a Constructive Termination, in each case within the 12‑month period immediately following the Closing Date, with severance payments and benefits, which are no less favorable than the severance pay and benefits such employee would have received had he or she terminated employment with Seller on the Closing Date. 

(b)                 Buyer and Seller agree to share equally the cost of the severance obligations owed to Shared Benefit Employees.

39

Seller, to the exclusion of Buyer, assumes, accepts and shall be fully responsible for any and all Losses, Liabilities or claims to the extent arising out of or relating to: (a) the employer-employee relationship, or Seller's employment or termination of employment, of any Transferred Employee, former Employee, any consultant or independent contractor, in each case, on or before the Closing Date; (b) any Seller Benefits Plans other than Foreign Benefit Plans; and (c) workers compensation claims of Voluntary Transfer Employees arising out of conditions with a date of injury, (or in the case of a claim relating to occupational illness or disease, the last significant exposure) that begins and ends on or before the Closing Date (collectively referred to herein as "Seller Employment Liabilities").  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Seller shall retain responsibility for and continue to pay all medical, life insurance, disability and other welfare plan expenses and benefits for each Transferred Employee with respect to claims incurred by such Transferred Employees or their covered dependents prior to the Closing Date.  Seller shall reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless each of the Buyer Indemnified Parties and their respective Employee Benefits Plans from and against any and all Losses whenever asserted or incurred by any of them in connection with any Seller Employment Liabilities.  All Seller Employment Liabilities shall be Excluded Liabilities for all purposes of this Agreement.

7.8                Timing of Claims Incurred

For purposes of Section 7.6 and Section 7.7, a claim is deemed incurred when all facts and circumstances giving rise to the claim have occurred and specifically: in the case of medical or dental benefits, when the services that are the subject of the claim are performed; in the case of life insurance, when the death occurs; in the case of long term disability benefits, when the disability occurs; in the case of workers compensation benefits, as described in Section 7.6 and Section 7.7 above; and otherwise, at the time the Transferred Employee or covered dependent becomes entitled to payment of a benefit (assuming that all procedural requirements are satisfied and claims applications properly and timely completed and submitted).

7.9                Retention Payment

Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Seller agrees to pay to each Transferred Employee who holds options exercisable for shares of Seller's common stock as of the Closing Date (the "Eligible Employees") one-half (1/2) of the Retention Payment for such Eligible Employee, less any applicable required withholdings.  Upon the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer shall pay to each Eligible Employee then employed by Buyer or any of Buyer's Subsidiaries or Affiliates one-half (1/2) of the Retention Payment, less any applicable required withholdings.  If after the Closing Date and prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date, the employment of any Eligible Employee is terminated (a) by the Buyer other than for Cause or Poor Performance or (b) as a result of a Constructive Termination, death or disability, Buyer shall pay to such terminated Eligible Employee one-half (1/2) of the Retention Payment within thirty (30) days after the date of such termination, less any applicable required withholdings.  No Eligible Employee shall otherwise be entitled to any Retention Payment if such Eligible Employee resigns or terminates his or her employment for any reason other than those set forth in the foregoing sentence.  "Retention Payment" means, for each Eligible Employee, an amount of cash equal to the difference between (A) the product of (x) the average closing price of Seller's common stock on the five (5) trading days preceding (but not including) the Closing Date multiplied by (y) the number of unvested stock options issued by Seller and held by an Eligible Employee as of the Closing Date, less (B) the total aggregate exercise price of all such stock options referred to in clause (y) above.

Article 8

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

8.1                Contracts

Beginning on the date hereof and ending 90 days following the Closing Date, each Party shall, and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, as soon as practicable, all Consensual Transfers and the Subsidiary Consents.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, nothing in this Agreement shall constitute an agreement to assign any Transferred Contract or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if the failure to obtain any Consensual Transfer with respect thereto would (i) constitute a breach of or other contravention thereof, (ii) be ineffective with respect to any party thereto, or (iii) in any way adversely affect the rights of Buyer or Seller, or their respective Subsidiaries, thereunder.  Pending receipt of such Consensual Transfers and for a period not to exceed three (3) years after the Closing Date, the Parties shall cooperate with each other to the extent practicable in establishing mutually agreeable, reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide to Buyer the benefits of use of such asset and to provide to Seller or a Subsidiary of Seller, as the case may be, the benefits that they would have obtained had the asset been conveyed to Buyer at the Closing.  To the extent that Buyer is provided the benefits pursuant to this Section 8.1 of any Contract, Buyer shall perform for the benefit of the other parties thereto the obligations of Seller or a Subsidiary of Seller, as the case may be, thereunder and pay, discharge and satisfy any related Liabilities that, but for the lack of a Consensual Transfer, would be Assumed Liabilities.  If, with respect to any Consensual Transfers, there is any financial cost to obtaining such consent, waiver, confirmation, novation or approval, then Seller shall bear such financial costs and any payment thereof.  In addition, Buyer shall reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless each of the Seller Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses incurred by it in connection with the good faith performance by Seller or any of it Subsidiaries of the obligations under (including any payment or incurrence of Liabilities by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries) those Contracts for which Buyer is provided the benefits pursuant to this Section 8.1.  If and to the extent that a Consensual Transfer is obtained after the Closing Date, the Contract for which such Consensual Transfer was obtained shall thereafter constitute a Transferred Asset and an Assumed Liability for all purposes under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any consents, novations or transfers applicable to the Transferred Assets, the Transferred IPR or the Assumed Liabilities are expressly addressed in the other Operative Agreements, such other provision shall be controlling and this Section 8.1 shall be deemed to apply only to the extent consistent with the intent of such other provision.

8.2                Conduct of the Business

(a)                 Except as set forth in Schedule 8.2(a), during the period from the date hereof and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms or the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, except to the extent that Buyer shall otherwise consent in writing (such consent to not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), use its commercially reasonable efforts to carry on the Business in all material respects in the ordinary course, and in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Laws, and to pay or perform the obligations of the Business when due.

(b)                 Without limiting the generality of Section 8.2(a), except as permitted or required by the terms of any other Operative Agreement or as provided in Schedule 8.2(b), without the prior written consent of Buyer (such consent to not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), during the period from the date hereof and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms or the Closing, Seller shall not do any of the following, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to do any of the following:

(i)            except as required by applicable Laws or pursuant to written agreements in effect or written policies existing on the date hereof, (A) grant any material severance or termination pay to any Transferred Employee, (B) change the compensation payable to any Transferred Employee other than in the ordinary course, or (C) make any material change in any Employee Benefits Plan that by reason of this Agreement or applicable Law would reasonably be expected to increase, in any material respect, the liabilities of Buyer, except for such changes that are intended to apply to a population of employees of Seller and/or its Subsidiaries that is not limited to Transferred Employees;

(ii)            (A) hire any new employee at an annual base salary of over $100,000, which employee would become a Transferred Employee at Closing, (B) terminate the employment of any employee whose annual base salary as of the date hereof is over $100,000, if such employee would otherwise become a Transferred Employee at Closing;

41

(iii)            enter into any collective bargaining or labor Contract;

(iv)            enter into any Contract or assignment which has the effect of transferring or licensing to any Person or otherwise extending, amending or modifying in any material respect any Transferred IPR, unless incidental to ordinary course commercial transactions and, in the case of distribution agreements, which are terminable within a reasonable period of time;

(v)            except as required by GAAP or the SEC, revalue any of the Transferred Assets in any material respect or make any change in accounting methods, principles or practices in any material respect applicable to the Transferred Assets;

(vi)            write down or write up the value of any Transferred Inventory, or determine as collectible any Transferred Accounts Receivable or any part thereof which were previously considered uncollectible, or write off as uncollectible any Transferred Accounts Receivable or any part thereof, except in each case for write downs, write ups, and write offs in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice;

(vii)            pay, discharge or satisfy any claim, Encumbrance, obligation or Liability of the Business, other than (A) Permitted Encumbrances, (B) the payment, discharge or satisfaction of claims, Encumbrances, obligations or liabilities reflected or reserved against in the Most Recent Balance Sheet or (C) in the ordinary course of business;

(viii)            other than in the ordinary course of the Business or sale of inventory in the ordinary course, dispose of any Transferred Assets;

(ix)            create any Encumbrance on (a) any of the Transferred Assets other than a Permitted Encumbrance or (b) any of the Transferred IPR unless in or incidental to ordinary course commercial transactions;

(x)            enter into any Contract with respect to the Business that would either: (a) by its terms expressly require a non-cancellable payment by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries of more than $250,000 per year; or (b) be reasonably likely to cause a Seller Material Adverse Effect;

(xi)            fail to maintain or prosecute any IPR that would be Transferred IPR but for the failure to maintain or prosecute such IPR, other than in the ordinary course of Business;

(xii)            disclose any Transferred Trade Secrets or other confidential information constituting Transferred IPR to Persons not bound by confidentiality obligations;

(xiii)            voluntarily terminate or materially modify any Transferred Contract or Subsidiary Contract; or

(xiv)            agree in writing or otherwise to take any of the actions described in Sections 8.2(b)(i) through 8.2(b)(xiii) above.

42

8.3                Access to Information

Except as may be necessary or appropriate to ensure compliance with respect to any applicable Laws and subject to any confidentiality obligations or applicable privileges (including privacy obligations under relevant employment law and attorney-client privilege), from the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, Seller will (a) give Buyer and its authorized representatives access to financial and operating data and other information relating to the Transferred Business during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, (b) give Buyer and its authorized representatives reasonable access to key employees of the Business, the identities of whom and the procedures and scope of which access to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties, (c) furnish to Buyer and its authorized representatives such financial and operating data and other information relating to the Transferred Business as Buyer may reasonably request, and (c) will instruct the Seller Representatives to cooperate with Buyer in its investigation of the Transferred Business, all for the purpose of enabling Buyer and its authorized representatives to conduct, at their own expense, legal, business and financial reviews, investigations and studies of the Transferred Business in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to provide any financial, operating data or other information that is not currently available through Seller's existing business processes or the creation of which would be unduly burdensome on Seller.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of any other Operative Agreement, Buyer shall not have access to such price and other competitive information as may invoke antitrust or similar legal restrictions, as determined by Seller in its reasonable judgment.  Any access to Seller's Real Property shall be subject to Seller's reasonable security measures and insurance requirements and shall not include the right to perform any "invasive" testing.

8.4                Books and Records

For a period of six (6) years from the Closing Date, or for such longer period as is required by applicable Laws, Buyer will permit Seller or its authorized representatives reasonable access, at Seller's expense, to information relating to the Transferred Business to the extent required by Seller to permit it to determine any matter relating to its rights and obligations under the Operative Agreements and its compliance with applicable Tax and financial reporting requirements, and any claim asserted in connection with an Assumed Liability.

8.5                Necessary Efforts; HSR Filings

(a)                 Seller and its Subsidiaries and Buyer and its Subsidiaries agree to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements and to cause the conditions to each party's obligation to close the transactions contemplated hereby to be satisfied, including all actions necessary to obtain all licenses, certificates, permits, approvals, clearances, expirations or terminations of applicable waiting periods, authorizations, qualifications and orders, and including, for the avoidance of doubt, any actions necessary to ensure compliance with the UK OFT Undertakings (each a "Consent") of any Governmental Authority required for the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9.3 or Section 10.3, and necessary in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements.  Each of Seller and its Subsidiaries and Buyer and its Subsidiaries agree that (i) no contact will be initiated with, or Consent sought from, any Governmental Authority prior to the Closing Date without the written consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) other than with respect to antitrust or merger control matters, and (ii) each Party will be given prior notice of and a reasonable opportunity to consult with the other Party regarding contacts with Governmental Authorities regarding antitrust or merger control matters.  The Parties hereto shall cooperate fully with each other to the extent necessary in connection with the foregoing.

43

(b)                 Buyer and Seller shall timely and promptly make all filings or submissions which may be required for the satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 9.3 or Section 10.3 by each of them in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of Seller and Buyer shall file notification and report forms under HSR or any other similar antitrust or merger control filings under applicable Laws as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement and in any event no later than (i) 10 Business Days following the date of this Agreement, in the case of notification and report forms under HSR, and (ii) the time prescribed by applicable Law in the case of requirements under other applicable antitrust or merger control Laws.  In addition, Buyer and Seller agree, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to cooperate and to use all necessary efforts and take all actions necessary to: obtain any Consents required for the Closing, including through compliance with HSR and any other applicable Laws, to respond to any requests for information from any Governmental Authority, and notwithstanding Section 8.5(c) below, to avoid and/or overcome any action, including any legislative, administrative or judicial action, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any judgment, injunction or other order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that restricts, prevents or prohibits, or could restrict, prevent or prohibit, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer and its Subsidiaries shall agree to divest, license, hold separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) or otherwise dispose, or agree to dispose of assets as, or if, required to avoid or overcome the objections of any Governmental Authority (each, a "Remedial Action"); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, and, for the avoidance of doubt, with the exception of Remedial Action in respect of the UK OFT Undertakings (which is dealt with separately in Section 8.5(d) below), nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to require Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries to take or agree to take any such action if such action would be reasonably likely to have a Buyer Material Adverse Effect on a combined basis with the Transferred Subsidiaries after the Closing.  Each party shall furnish to the other such necessary information and assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of any necessary filings or submissions by it to any Governmental Authority.  Except as prohibited or restricted by Law, each party or its attorneys shall provide the other party or its attorneys the opportunity to make copies of all correspondence, filings or communications (or memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between such party or its representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement, the other Operative Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.  Without in any way limiting the foregoing, the Parties will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto in connection with proceedings under or relating to HSR or other antitrust or merger control Laws.

(c)                 Each of Buyer and Seller shall notify and keep the other advised as to (i) any material communication from the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC"), the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (the "DOJ") or any other Governmental Authority regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any communications with the UK Competition Authorities in relation to the UK OFT Undertakings, (ii) any litigation or administrative proceeding pending and known to such party, or to its knowledge threatened, which challenges, or would challenge, the transactions contemplated hereby and (iii) any event or circumstance which, to its knowledge, would constitute a Warranty Breach; provided, however, that the failure of Seller or Buyer to comply with this Section 8.5(c) shall not subject Seller or Buyer to any Liability hereunder in respect of any claim asserted after the relevant expiration date for the relevant representation or warranty; and provided further, that neither Buyer nor Seller may separately recover pursuant to Article 11 or otherwise for both a breach of this Section 8.5(c) and any Warranty Breach.  Subject to the provisions of Article 11, Seller and Buyer shall not take any action inconsistent with their obligations under this Agreement or, without prejudice to Buyer's rights under this Agreement, which would materially hinder or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d)                 Buyer shall timely and promptly take all action necessary to ensure that the UK OFT Undertakings do not prevent or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including taking all and any Remedial Actions or other steps required by the UK Competition Authorities.

8.6                Taxes and Costs Relating to the Porges Asset Sale

(a)                 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Buyer shall indemnify Seller and hold Seller harmless from and against any Liability for Taxes (including, without limitation, withholding and Transfer Taxes) and all costs (including third-party costs) incurred by Porges in connection with the Porges Asset Sale.

44

(b)                 Buyer shall also pay to Seller the following additional amounts: (i) 90% of the amount of foreign tax credits attributable to the Porges Asset Sale (such foreign tax credits, for purposes of this Agreement, shall be $7,875,000) (the "FTC Amount") that are determined to be unavailable to Seller following an audit of Seller or the promulgation of Treasury Regulations with final effect disallowing such foreign tax credits; (ii) 90% of the amount by which the FTC Amount is reduced by operating losses of Porges following the Closing; and (iii) 100% of the amount by which the foreign tax credits of Porges that would have been attributable to the operating income of Porges for the Pre-Closing Tax Period (determined under the principles of Section 8.7(a)) are reduced by the operating losses of Porges following the Closing.  For purposes of this subsection (b), operating losses shall be used first to reduce the operating income of Porges, and then to reduce the gain from the Porges Asset Sale.

(c)                 Seller and Buyer shall provide each other with access to all information reasonably necessary to determine the accuracy of the amounts required to be determined by this Section 8.6.

8.7                Tax Matters

(a)                 Returns; Indemnification; Liability for Taxes

                                                                               (i)            Seller shall prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) on a timely basis all Tax Returns with respect to Seller and its Subsidiaries for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date and shall pay, and shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless against and from (A) all Taxes of Seller and its Subsidiaries for all taxable years or periods that end on or before the Closing Date; (B) all Taxes for which Seller or any of its Subsidiaries may be liable under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502‑6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law); and (C) with respect to any taxable period commencing before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date (a "Straddle Period") all Taxes of Seller and its Subsidiaries attributable to the Tax period prior to and including the Closing Date (the "Pre-Closing Tax Period") (the Taxes referred to in items (A), (B), and (C) of this sentence are referred to herein as "Pre-Closing Taxes"); provided, however, that to the extent that any such Taxes (i) are reflected as a Liability in the calculation of Net Working Capital as reflected on the Final Net Working Capital Statement, or (ii) are described in Section 8.6(a) ((i) and (ii), collectively, the "Assumed Taxes"), such Assumed Taxes shall not be considered "Pre-Closing Taxes" hereunder, and Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify Buyer for any such Assumed Taxes.  For purposes of this Agreement, the portion of any Tax that is attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be (A) in the case of a Tax that is not based on net income, gross income, premiums or gross receipts, the total amount of such Tax for the period in question multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Tax Period, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such Straddle Period, and (B) in the case of a Tax that is based on any of net income, gross income, premiums or gross receipts, the Tax that would be due with respect to the Pre-Closing Tax Period if such Pre-Closing Tax Period were a separate taxable period, except that exemptions, allowances, deductions or credits that are calculated on an annual basis (such as the deduction for depreciation or capital allowances) shall be apportioned on a per diem basis. 

                                                                             (ii)            Buyer shall prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) on a timely basis all Tax Returns relating to the Transferred Assets or the operation of the Business (including all Tax Returns of the Transferred Subsidiaries) for periods ending after the Closing Date and shall pay and shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless against and from (A) all Taxes of Buyer and its Subsidiaries (including the Transferred Subsidiaries) for any taxable year or period commencing after the Closing Date; (B) all Taxes of Buyer and its Subsidiaries (including the Transferred Subsidiaries) for any Straddle Period other than Pre‑Closing Taxes; (C) all withholding Taxes incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; and (D) all Assumed Taxes.

                                                                            (iii)            If, in order to properly prepare its Tax Returns or other documents required to be filed with the Governmental Authorities, it is necessary that a Party be furnished with additional information, documents or records relating to the Transferred Assets, both Seller and Buyer agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish or make available such nonprivileged information at the other's request, cost and expense; provided, however, that neither Party shall be entitled to review or examine the Tax Returns of the other Party (other than the Tax Returns related to MML, Porges and the Porges Asset Sale).

45

(b)                 Refunds and Credits.  Any refunds and credits attributable to Pre‑Closing Taxes to the extent not taken into account in the calculation of Net Working Capital as reflected in the Final Net Working Capital Statement shall be for the account of Seller if properly reportable by Seller on any of its pre-Closing Tax Returns or with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period and any other refunds and credits shall be for the account of Buyer.  To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Buyer shall (or shall cause or permit its Subsidiaries to) elect to relinquish any carryback of a Tax attribute to any Pre-Closing Tax Period.  In cases where Buyer cannot elect to relinquish such carrybacks, Seller agrees to pay to Buyer the net Tax benefit received by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries from the use in any Pre-Closing Tax Period of a carryback of any Tax arising in a Post-Closing Tax Period.  If an audit or other examination of any Tax Return of Seller or its Subsidiaries for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, or of Buyer or its Subsidiaries for any taxable period ending after the Closing Date, shall result (by settlement or otherwise) in any adjustment, the effect of which is to increase deductions, losses or tax credits or decrease income, gains, premiums, revenues or recapture of tax credits ("Changes") of the other party, the audited party will notify such other party and provide it with all necessary information so that it can reflect on its Tax Returns any such Changes.  If as a result of such Changes, the other party enjoys a net Tax benefit, such party shall pay to the audited party the amount of such net Tax benefit.

(c)                 Transfer Taxes.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) all Transfer Taxes arising in connection with the Porges Asset Sale shall be borne by Buyer as set forth in Section 8.6 of this Agreement; and (ii) all other Transfer Taxes and related fees incurred in connection with the Operative Agreements, and the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller.  To the extent reasonable and legally able to do so, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate with each other to minimize such Taxes.  The Party required by law to file a Tax Return with respect to such Transfer Taxes shall do so within the time period prescribed by law, and the other Party shall promptly reimburse the paying Party for such other Party's portion of the  Transfer Taxes so paid upon receipt of notice that such Transfer Taxes have been paid.

(d)                 Post-Closing Actions by Buyer.  Following the Closing, Buyer shall not make any election under U.S. or foreign Tax law, cause any Transferred Subsidiary to pay a dividend, elect to carryback any loss or otherwise take any action that could adversely affect Seller without the prior written consent of Seller; provided, however, that, if requested by Seller, Buyer shall make a timely election under Section 338 of the Code, in form and substance satisfactory to Seller, with respect to the purchase of the Equity Interests of Porges and/or MML.

(e)                 Tax Audit Support.  In the event and for so long as any Party actively is contesting or defending against any Tax audit or other investigation, claim or proceeding relating to a taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date involving Seller or its Subsidiaries, each Party shall cooperate with the other Party and its counsel in the contest or defense, make available their personnel, and provide such testimony and access to their books and records as shall be necessary in connection with the contest or defense, all at the sole cost and expense of the indemnifying Party.

8.8                Allocation of Purchase Price

The Preliminary Purchase Price shall be provisionally allocated by Seller and Buyer mutually not later than ten Business Days prior to the Closing Date and shall be set forth in the form substantially similar to Exhibit F attached hereto (the "Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation").  Not later than 30 days following the preparation of the Final Net Working Capital Statement, the Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation shall be adjusted by mutual agreement of the Parties (or if the parties cannot agree within such 30 days, by the CPA Firm within the following 30 days) to take into account the final determined amount of the Purchase Price and the final determined values of all Transferred Assets, it being understood that any such adjustment shall not adjust the total cash consideration set  forth in any of the Conveyance Documents (such adjusted allocation, the "Purchase Price Allocation").  Upon its completion, the Purchase Price Allocation shall become part of the Agreement.  Each of the Parties, when reporting the transactions consummated hereunder in its own Tax Returns, shall allocate the Purchase Price paid or received, as the case may be, in a manner that is consistent with the Purchase Price Allocation.  Additionally, each of the Parties will comply with, and furnish the information required by, Section 1060 of the Code, and any regulations thereunder.

8.9                Return of Excluded Assets

Promptly following the Closing, and in any event within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Buyer will remit to Seller an amount of cash equal to the amount of cash on the general ledger of each Transferred Subsidiary as of the Closing.  The remittance will be treated as a return of Excluded Assets and not as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.  If at any time within 12 months following the Closing Date, Buyer becomes aware of any other Excluded Assets that were delivered to Buyer in connection with the Operative Agreements, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller of the Excluded Assets in its possession, and shall return (or at Seller's discretion, destroy) such Excluded Assets, including all copies thereof.  In any case, Buyer agrees to keep and treat all Excluded Assets as "Evaluation Material" in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.  

46

8.10            Brokers

Seller shall be responsible for, and shall reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer for, all Losses arising from a claim by a finder or broker that it acted on behalf of Seller (or a Subsidiary thereof) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.  Buyer shall be responsible for, and shall reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless Seller for, all Losses arising from a claim by a finder or broker that it acted on behalf of Buyer (or a Subsidiary thereof) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

8.11            Further Assurances

From and after the Closing Date, Seller shall cooperate with Buyer and its representatives and shall execute and deliver such documents and take such other actions as Buyer may reasonably request, for the purposes of evidencing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and putting Buyer in possession and control of all of the Transferred Assets and Transferred IPR, especially to the extent located overseas; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall require Seller or its Affiliates to assist or cooperate with Buyer or any of its Affiliates in connection with any actual or threatened litigation, arbitration, mediation or other alternative dispute resolution procedure regarding the Transferred Business, except to the extent required by applicable Law or Article 11 (Indemnity), and to the extent that Seller or its Affiliates are required to do so by applicable Law (as distinguished from Article 11 (Indemnity)), Buyer shall promptly reimburse Seller for all out-of-pocket Expenses that it incurs in connection therewith.  From and after the Closing Date, the parties shall cooperate with each other and each party's Representatives and shall execute and deliver such documents and take such other actions as the other party may reasonably request, for the purpose of evidencing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and as otherwise set forth herein.  In addition, Buyer will make Transferred Employees reasonably available to Seller for the purpose of obtaining, maintaining, securing and defending the Intellectual Property Rights of Seller, at Seller's expense.

8.12            Mail Handling

8.15            Confidentiality

(a)                 Confidentiality Agreement.  The Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and survive the execution of this Agreement, the Closing, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and/or the termination of this Agreement for seven (7) years.  The Parties hereby agree that the term "Evaluation Material," as used in the Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed to include (i) all exhibits, schedules, certificates and other documents executed or delivered in connection with this Agreement, the other Operative Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, (ii) all proprietary and confidential information concerning Seller and its Subsidiaries, which includes all information with respect to the Business, and (iii) all documents and materials contained in Seller's data room, or otherwise furnished or made available (directly or indirectly) to Buyer or its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that after the Closing, with respect to Buyer, the foregoing shall not apply to such information that (1) is solely related to the Transferred Subsidiaries, Transferred Assets, Transferred IPR or Assumed Liabilities and (2) is not also related to any business or assets of Seller (or a Subsidiary thereof) not transferred to Buyer under this Agreement.  In addition, notwithstanding any other provision of the Confidentiality Agreement, and this Agreement, Buyer and its Affiliates and Seller and its Affiliates may include this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements in or as an exhibit to any report, form or registration statement filed with or furnished to the SEC.  Seller agrees to treat and hold confidential any information concerning the Business and the affairs of the Business that is not (other than by virtue of Seller's violation of this Section 8.15(a)) generally available to the public; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.15(a) shall prohibit Seller or any of its Subsidiaries from complying with applicable Laws or the rules and regulations of any stock exchange or over the counter trading market on or through which Seller's securities are traded.

(b)                 Release of Certain Confidentiality Obligations.  Effective as of the Closing, Seller shall, or shall cause its applicable Subsidiary to, release the Transferred Employees from any confidentiality obligations they may have to Seller (or a Subsidiary thereof) with respect to trade secret, confidential and other information that relates to the Business, but only to the extent such information does not also relate to any business or assets of Seller (or a Subsidiary thereof) not transferred to Buyer (or a Subsidiary thereof) under this Agreement.

48

8.16            Non-Competition

(a)                 Seller agrees that for a period commencing on the Closing Date and terminating on the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller will not, and will cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates not to, engage, directly or indirectly, in a Competing Business anywhere in the Territory.  The foregoing restrictions will terminate in the event of a Change of Control of Seller.  The foregoing restrictions are reasonable and appropriate, do not exceed the protection necessary to secure the goodwill purchased, and do not place undue hardship on Seller. 

(b)                 The remedy at law for any breach of the foregoing will be inadequate and Buyer, in addition to any other relief available to it, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damages.  If any provisions of any restrictive covenant contained herein, should be deemed to exceed the limitations allowed by applicable Law, then such provision shall be reformed to provide the maximum limitations permitted. 

(c)                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 8.16 shall not restrict Seller or any Subsidiaries of Seller from acquiring and thereafter operating any Business Competitor (an "Acquired Entity") so long as (a) Seller or such Subsidiary, within three (3) months after such acquisition, offer to enter into good faith discussions for forty-five (45) days with Buyer for the purpose of providing Buyer the opportunity to (i) purchase the Competing Business from Seller or its Subsidiaries, or (ii) enter into a joint venture, distribution agreement or similar agreement with Seller or its Subsidiaries with respect to the Competing Business, with closing of a purchase (in (i)) or execution of an agreement (in (ii)) to occur within eighteen (18) months following the acquisition by Seller or its Subsidiaries of the Acquired Entity and (b) if Seller or such Subsidiary and Buyer fail to (i) consummate a transaction resulting in a purchase of the Competing Business by Buyer, or (ii) enter into a joint venture, distribution agreement or similar agreement with respect to the Competing Business after offering to enter into good faith discussions with Buyer for that purpose as contemplated by clause (a) above, Seller or such Subsidiary shall offer to enter into good faith discussions for forty-five (45) days with Buyer for the purpose of providing Buyer the opportunity to purchase the Competing Business from Seller or its Subsidiaries, or enter into a joint venture, distribution agreement or similar agreement with Buyer with respect to the Competing Business, if the terms offered are more favorable to those terms previously offered to the Buyer pursuant to clause (a) above, prior to entering into a similar arrangement with a third party.

8.17          Real Estate Matters

(a)            Real Property Lease Assignments.

 (i)            Promptly following execution of this Agreement, Seller shall contact the Landlords under the Assigned Leases and seek each Landlord's consent to the assignment of the applicable Assigned Lease to Buyer and a release of Seller from further liability under the applicable Assigned Lease.  If Seller obtains prior to the Closing Date such consent, Seller shall assign to Buyer and Buyer shall accept from Seller an assignment of such Assigned Lease in accordance with Section 3.2 hereof (the "Real Property Lease Assignments").  Any such Real Property Lease Assignment shall be effective on the Closing Date and shall be on the terms of the lease assignment form reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller.

49

(ii)            Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consents and releases set forth in clause (i) above, but shall not be required to commence judicial proceedings for a declaration that a consent has been unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.  Seller shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, but shall not be required, to pay any additional consideration or provide any additional security or guarantees to the Landlords.  Buyer shall cooperate with Seller in attempting to obtain the consents and releases set forth above, including (i) providing financial statements, references and additional security and/or guarantees as may be requested by the relevant Landlords, (ii) entering into any amendments to the Leases as may be requested by the relevant Landlords or (iii) entering into direct Leases of the applicable premises leased under an Assigned Lease (the "Assigned Lease Premises") with the relevant Landlords, if requested by such Landlords.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Landlord under any Assigned Lease conditions its grant of a consent (including by threatening to exercise a "recapture" or other termination right) upon, or otherwise requires in response to a notice or consent request regarding this Agreement or any Operative Agreement, the payment of a consent fee, "profit sharing" payment or other consideration (including increased rent payments), or the provision of additional security (including a guaranty), Buyer shall be solely responsible for making all such payments or providing all such additional security.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that Seller makes any such payments, Buyer shall promptly reimburse Seller for such amounts.  Buyer shall not, however, communicate directly with any of Seller's Landlords without the prior written consent of Seller.

(iii)            If, despite the efforts of the parties as set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) above, a Landlord of an Assigned Lease Premises fails to consent to the assignment of the applicable Assigned Lease of such Assigned Lease Premises prior to the Closing Date, subject to Section 8.17(a)(iv) below:

(1)                 Buyer shall be entitled to occupy the relevant Assigned Lease Premises as a licensee upon the terms and conditions contained in Seller's Assigned Lease of such Assigned Lease Premises.  Such license shall not be revocable due to the relevant Landlord's failure to consent, unless (A) the relevant Landlord formally, unconditionally refuses to consent or (B) an enforcement action or forfeiture by the relevant Landlord due to Buyer's occupation of such Assigned Lease Premises cannot, in the reasonable opinion of Seller, be avoided other than by requiring Buyer to immediately vacate the relevant Assigned Lease Premises.  In either such event, Seller may terminate the license by delivering written notice to Buyer, and Buyer shall vacate the relevant Assigned Lease Premises immediately or by such other date as may be specified in a notice served by Seller.  Buyer shall be solely responsible for, and shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Seller from, all losses, costs, damages, claims and liabilities incurred by Seller or Buyer as a consequence of Buyer's occupation of such Assigned Lease Premises, including as a result of any enforcement action taken by the relevant Landlord with respect to any breach by Seller of the relevant Assigned Lease in permitting Buyer to so occupy the relevant Assigned Lease Premises without obtaining the required consent.  Buyer shall not be entitled to make any claim or demand against, or obtain reimbursement from, Seller with respect to any costs, losses, claims, liabilities or damages incurred by Buyer as a consequence of being obliged to vacate an Assigned Lease Premises or in obtaining alternative premises, including any enforcement action which a Landlord may take against Buyer.

(2)                 whether or not Buyer occupies such Assigned Lease Premises as licensee as provided above, Buyer shall, effective as of the Closing Date, (A) pay Seller all rents, service charges, insurance premiums and other sums payable by Seller under the relevant Assigned Lease of the Assigned Lease Premises, (B) observe and perform all of Seller's covenants, obligations and conditions contained in the relevant Assigned Lease of the Assigned Lease Premises and (C) indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Seller from and against all losses, costs, claims, damages and liabilities arising on account of any breach thereof by Buyer.  Immediately upon receipt of the relevant Landlord's consent to the assignment of an Assigned Lease Premises, as set forth above, Buyer and Seller shall enter into a Real Property Lease Assignment with respect to such Assigned Lease Premises.

(iv)            If, despite the efforts of the parties as set forth above, a Landlord of an Assigned Lease Premises formally, unconditionally refuses to consent to the assignment of the applicable Assigned Lease:

(1)                 Without limiting Seller's rights as set forth in subparagraphs (2) and (3) below, Seller may by written notice to Buyer elect to apply to the relevant Landlord for consent to sublease all of the relevant premises to Buyer for the remainder of the relevant Assigned Lease term at a rent equal to the rent from time to time under the relevant Assigned Lease, but otherwise on substantially the same terms and conditions as the relevant Assigned Lease and pursuant to the terms of a reasonable sublease form prepared by Seller.  If Seller makes such an election after the Closing Date (or before the Closing Date, if the Landlord consent is not received before the Closing Date), the provisions of Section 8.17(a)(iii) will apply, except, on the grant of the consent required to sublease the Assigned Lease Premises in question, Seller shall sublease to Buyer the relevant Assigned Lease Premises as set forth herein.  If Seller makes such an election before the Closing Date and the relevant Assigned Lease consent is obtained before the Closing Date, Seller shall sublease to Buyer the relevant Assigned Lease Premises on the Closing Date as set forth above.

50

(2)                 If the Landlord formally, unconditionally refuses such consent prior to the Closing Date, Seller may elect by written notice to Buyer to delete the relevant Assigned Lease from the term "Assigned Leases" hereunder.  In such case, on the Closing Date, Seller shall not assign or sublease such premises to Buyer, and Buyer shall vacate the relevant premises.  Buyer shall not be entitled to make any claim or demand against or obtain reimbursement from Seller with respect to any costs, losses, claims, liabilities or damages incurred by Buyer as a consequence of being obliged to vacate the applicable premises or obtaining alternative premises.

(b)                 Space-Sharing Arrangements.  Buyer and Seller agree to negotiate in good faith the space-sharing arrangements at those facilities to be shared by Buyer and Seller or their respective Subsidiaries following the Closing, which arrangements will be on commercial terms equivalent to those that could be obtained in reasonable arms length market transactions, and with respect to the sublease of the properties located at 301 Mentor Drive, Santa Barbara, California 93111, arrangements substantially on the terms set forth on Schedule 8.17(b).

(c)                 Casualty.  Buyer and Seller shall grant and accept the leases, assignments, subleases or licenses of the premises as described in this Section 8.17, regardless of any casualty damage or other change in the condition of the applicable premises.  In addition, in the event that any Assigned Lease is terminated prior to the Closing Date, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Section 3.2, (a) Seller or its applicable Subsidiary shall not be required to assign such premises, (b) Buyer or its applicable Subsidiary shall not be required to accept an assignment of such premises and (c) neither party shall have any further liability with respect to such premises hereunder.

8.18            Licensed Patent Schedule

Without limiting the definition of Licensed Patents set forth in Section 1.94, if prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date there is an inaccuracy with respect to Schedule 1.94 such that the representation set forth in Section 5.11 with respect to Licensed IPR was not true and correct as of the Closing Date, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, as Buyer's sole and exclusive remedy with respect to the breach of the representation set forth in Section 5.11(d), on Buyer's written request, Seller shall add to such Patents as may be owned and licensable by Seller to Schedule 1.94 (and such Patents shall be deemed for all purposes as if such added Patents were on such Schedule as of the Closing Date).

8.19            Name Change

(a)                 On or promptly after the Closing Date, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause a change of the following corporate names with the applicable Secretary of State in such a way as to allow Buyer to qualify and register to form a corporation under the following names: Mills Biopharmaceuticals and Selene (together, the "Transferred Names"), and shall execute and deliver all documents, certificates or other evidence required by the applicable Secretary of State to allow Buyer to reserve such name and establish entities with the applicable Secretary of State bearing such names.  On or promptly after the Closing Date, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to change the Transferred Names by filings with the applicable Secretary of State as reasonably requested by Buyer to give Buyer the same rights as Seller had to the Transferred Names immediately prior to the Closing.

(b)                 On or promptly after the Closing Date, Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause a change of the corporate name of each Transferred Subsidiary that has "Mentor" as part of its corporate name with the applicable Governmental Authority in such a way so that "Mentor" is no longer part of the corporate name.

51

8.20            Business Permits

Beginning on the date hereof and ending 180 days following the Closing Date, Seller agrees that it shall (or, as applicable, cause its relevant Subsidiary to) use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer to effect the assignment, transfer or renewal of, or where applicable, re‑application for, the Business Permits.  Such assistance shall include cooperating with the gathering of information to be provided to the applicable Governmental Authority and responding to such other reasonable requests as are made by Buyer; provided, however, that Seller and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to incur any more than a nominal cost in providing such assistance and shall not be responsible for the payment of any Business Permit fees or related costs.

8.21            Environmental Insurance

Buyer and Seller agree to cooperate in good faith to obtain, effective as of the Closing, the environmental insurance policies described on Schedule 8.21 naming Buyer and its relevant Subsidiaries as the named insureds and Seller and its relevant Subsidiaries as additional named insureds ("Environmental Insurance").  Buyer and Seller agree and acknowledge that Buyer and Seller shall equally bear the cost of the Environmental Insurance policy premium up to a total amount of $300,000, and Seller shall pay the full cost of any excess.  Buyer and Seller respectively shall complete any application and such other documents as are necessary to obtain the Environmental Insurance.  Buyer and Seller shall provide such additional information as may be required by the insurer following the date hereof.

8.22            Transition Services Agreement

From the date hereof until the Closing, Buyer and Seller agree to negotiate in good faith enhancements to the Transition Services Agreement that are mutually beneficial to both Parties.

8.23            Product Liability

Buyer hereby agrees to pay Seller $300,000 per year for a period of seven years, to be paid in equal amounts on a semi-annual basis with the first payment to occur on the six month anniversary of the Closing Date, in connection with Product Liability Claims that constitute Excluded Liabilities.  Buyer shall cooperate with Seller in Seller's defense of any Product Liability Claim that constitutes an Excluded Liability, and Seller shall have reasonable access to the books, records and personnel which are pertinent to the defense and which are in the possession or control of Buyer.  Seller shall cover the reasonable expenses of Buyer for such cooperation consistent with Seller's past practice.

8.24            Supply of SMEC Products; UK Marks

(a)                 On the date hereof, (i) Buyer entered into that certain Agreement with Coloplast Limited ("CP UK"), MML, Rochester Medical Corporation ("RMC") and Rochester Medical Limited ("RM UK"), pursuant to which Buyer, CP UK and MML have agreed to transfer certain assets to RMC or RM UK immediately following the Closing (the "MML Sale"), (ii) Seller and RMC entered into that certain Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Anoka Agreement"), pursuant to which Seller will transfer certain assets to RMC (the "Anoka Sale"), and (iii) Buyer and Seller entered into that certain Termination Agreement pursuant to which the Existing Supply Agreement will terminate (the "Termination").

(b)                 If as of immediately following the Closing either (1) the MML Sale has not been consummated, (2) the Anoka Sale has not been consummated or (3) the Termination has not occurred, the Parties agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including in the Schedules):

(ii)            Buyer and Seller will enter into a new agreement for the supply by Seller and purchase by Buyer of Silicone Male External Catheters ("SMEC") products, currently manufactured by Seller in its manufacturing facility in Anoka, Minnesota (the "Anoka Facility"), for sale by Buyer worldwide other than in the UK, for five (5) years from the Closing Date;

(iii)            Buyer and Seller will continue the Existing Supply Agreement for distribution and sale of silicone and latex Male External Catheter products in the UK ("UK MEC Products") until its expiration;

(iv)            with respect to the new supply agreement referred to in clause (ii) above, (A) the terms of the supply agreement will be on commercially reasonable terms that are substantially similar (other than with respect to territory, price and product volumes) as that contained in the Existing Supply Agreement, (B) pricing under such supply agreement will be intended to cover only Seller's total fully burdened costs of supporting the manufacture and supply of such products to Buyer without realizing a profit therefrom and, accordingly, the price for such products charged by Seller to Buyer for such products will be all costs and expenses to support the manufacture and supply of such products, and (C) Buyer shall provide Seller with certain manufacturing support functions and services;

(v)            the Existing Supply Agreement shall be assignable to a third party in connection with Buyer's sale of Buyer's UK MEC Business (excluding MECs developed independently by Buyer);

(vi)            during the term of the new supply agreement described in clause (ii) above, Seller will not transfer the manufacturing capacity (other than as a part of a Change of Control of Seller) of the Anoka Facility without the consent of Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (it being understood that it will be unreasonable to withhold consent if the transferee is capable of continuing the supply agreements referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) above and agrees to honor such agreements);

(vii)            Seller's obligations in Section 8.16 (Non-competition) will be deemed hereby to be amended to provide that the developing, manufacturing, marketing, selling or distributing of SMECs (only) manufactured in the Anoka Facility shall not be considered a "Competing Business" or otherwise violate the covenants contained therein;

(viii)            Seller shall (A) retain ownership of all rights in the UK in the CLEAR ADVANTAGE Mark, the URO-FLOW Mark, the FREEDOM PLUS Mark, the TRANSFIX Mark and the UK registration of the TRANSFIX Mark (UK Reg.

The sale, distribution or other use of the UK MEC Marks in connection with UK MEC Products shall not be considered a "Competing Business" or otherwise violate the covenants contained in Section 8.16. If Seller retains ownership of the Retained MEC Marks pursuant to this paragraph, the Parties agree to amend the Schedules as appropriate to reflect Seller's retention thereof. 

(ix)            For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no restrictions on Seller's right to use the UK MEC Marks retained by or licensed to Seller pursuant to Section 8.24(b)(viii) in connection with the UK MEC business. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller intends to sell the UK MEC business to a third party and that accordingly any rights in the UK MEC Marks retained by or licensed to Seller will be transferred to such purchaser of the UK MEC Business. 

53

(x)            Any allocation of rights in, and use of, the UK MEC Marks will be subject to all requirements of UK Law, including those Laws that pertain to the use of trademarks.

11.3            Seller Indemnification

(a)                 Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 11, and as otherwise expressly set forth herein, Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer and Buyer's Subsidiaries, and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, agents, representatives, successors, assigns, partners and employees (the "Buyer Indemnified Parties") against and agrees to hold the Buyer Indemnified Parties harmless from any Loss incurred or suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties arising out of or related to (i) a Warranty Breach by Seller (provided that, in the event of any such breach or inaccuracy, for purposes of determining the amount of any Loss no effect will be given to any qualification as to "material," "materiality," "material adverse effect" or a "Seller Material Adverse Effect" contained therein); (ii) a Covenant Breach by Seller; (iii) the Excluded Liabilities; (iv) any failure to comply with Laws relating to bulk transfers that are applicable to the sale of the Transferred Assets; (v) Seller's Special Environmental Indemnity pursuant to Section 11.3(d); or (vi) the matters identified on Schedule 11.3(a).

(d)                 Seller shall indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties for Seller's Special Environmental Indemnity.  The term "Seller's Special Environmental Indemnity" shall mean the following:

(i)            Minneapolis, Minnesota.  Seller shall indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties for Losses incurred with respect to Environmental Claims arising out of Environmental Conditions existing as of the Closing in the soil and/or groundwater on, or migrating on or before the Closing from, the Transferred Real Property or the real property that is leased pursuant to the Assigned Leases located in Minneapolis, Minnesota including those described in that certain Phase I Environmental Site Assessment - Mentor Corporation, 1401, 1499, 1525, 1601 and 1615 West River Road North, Minneapolis, Minnesota ("Minneapolis Property"), prepared by GaiaTech and dated February 2006 ("Minneapolis Environmental Losses"), on the following terms and conditions:

(2)             Buyer and its Subsidiaries agree not to voluntarily perform or permit to be performed any soil or groundwater testing of any kind or nature on the Minneapolis Property unless required by a Governmental Authority pursuant to Environmental Laws.  If such voluntary testing is performed except as permitted in the previous sentence, the indemnity obligations of Seller in this Section 11.3(d)(i) shall be null and void and of no further force and effect.

(3)             Seller shall only be required to indemnify for any Minneapolis Environmental Losses suffered by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties to the extent such Losses are incurred as a result of a requirement of a Governmental Authority pursuant to Environmental Laws or, in the event of a claim by any other third Person, to the extent it is reasonable and necessary to incur such Losses pursuant to Environmental Laws.

(ii)            Other Business Properties.  Seller shall indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties for one half of all Losses (other than Seller Caused Environmental Losses, which are addressed in Section 11.3(d)(iii) below) incurred with respect to Environmental Claims arising out of Environmental Conditions existing as of the Closing in the soil and/or groundwater on, or migrating on or before the Closing from or to, all properties owned, leased or occupied as of the date hereof by Seller or any of Seller's Subsidiaries in connection with the Business, excluding the Minneapolis Property covered in Section 11.3(d)(i) above ("Other Business Property" with the Losses in this Section 11.3(d)(ii) referred to as "Other Business Property Environmental Losses"), on the following terms and conditions:

(1)                 The Other Business Property Environmental Losses must originate from a third Person claim including any claim of a Governmental Authority (i.e. other than a direct claim brought by any Buyer Indemnified Party) ("Other Business Property Environmental Claim").

59

(2)                 Buyer and its Subsidiaries agree not to voluntarily perform or permit to be performed any soil or groundwater testing of any kind or nature on the Other Business Property, except: (i) as required by a Governmental Authority pursuant to Environmental Laws; or (ii) with respect to the Real Property located at Avenue Edmond Rostand, Lieu-Dit Le Pontet, Sarlat-La-Caneda, France as further described in that certain Phase I Environmental Site Assessment prepared by GaiaTech dated February 2006 (the "Sarlat Property"), which testing occurs after the first anniversary of the Closing Date and then only at the request of a potential buyer in connection with a bona fide proposed sale of the Sarlat Property.  If such voluntary testing is performed, except as permitted in the previous sentence, the indemnity obligations of Seller in this Section 11.3(d)(ii) shall be null and void and of no further force and effect as to each particular legal parcel of Real Property upon which such testing was performed. 

(3)                 Seller shall only be required to indemnify for any Other Business Property Environmental Losses suffered by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties to the extent such Losses are incurred as a result of a requirement of a Governmental Authority pursuant to Environmental Laws or, in the event of a claim by any other third Person, to the extent it is reasonable and necessary to incur such Losses pursuant to Environmental Laws.

(4)                 Losses covered under this Section 11.3(d)(ii) shall not include diminution in property value of the relevant Other Business Property.

(1)                 The Seller Caused Environmental Losses must originate from a third Person claim including any claim of a Governmental Authority (i.e. other than a direct claim brought by any Buyer Indemnified Party) ("Seller Caused Environmental Claim").

(2)                 The Seller Caused Environmental Losses can not arise as a result of soil or groundwater testing of any kind or nature that has been performed or permitted to be performed by Buyer or any Subsidiary of Buyer except as required by a Governmental Authority pursuant to Environmental Laws.  If such voluntary testing is performed, except as permitted in the previous sentence, the indemnity obligations of Seller in this Section 11.3(d)(iii) shall be null and void and of no further force and effect as to each particular legal parcel of Real Property upon which such testing was performed.

(3)                 Seller shall only be required to indemnify for any Seller Caused Environmental Losses suffered by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties to the extent such Losses are incurred as a result of a requirement of a Governmental Authority pursuant to Environmental Laws or, in the event of a claim by any other third Person, to the extent it is reasonable and necessary to incur such Losses pursuant to Environmental Laws.

(4)                 Losses covered under this Section 11.3(d)(iii) shall not include diminution in property value of the Real Property.

11.4            Procedures

Each Party agrees to give prompt written notice (such Party with the obligation to give notice, the "Indemnified Party") to the other Party (the "Indemnifying Party") of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement, including the estimated amount and other details of such claim; provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced by such lack of timely and adequate notice.  The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its election, to take over the defense or settlement of any third Person claim at its own Expense by giving prompt notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed of the progress of such third Person claim.  If the Indemnifying Party shall have so assumed the defense of any claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim, in its sole discretion without the prior consent of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that a condition to any such settlement shall be a complete release of the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim.  The Indemnifying Party agrees to consult with the Indemnified Party prior to entering into any settlement contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, it being expressly understood that such duty to consult does not in any way limit the Indemnifying Party's right to consent to a settlement or the entry of judgment in its sole discretion without obtaining the prior consent of the Indemnified Party.  The Indemnified Party shall at all times have the right, at its option and Expense, to participate fully in, but not to control, any such defense.  If the Indemnifying Party, within 20 days after receipt of the Indemnified Party's notice of claim, does not (i) give such notice to take over the defense of such claim and proceed diligently to defend the claim or (ii) object to such claim in writing to the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to undertake the defense of such claim for the account of and at the risk of the Indemnifying Party.  The Parties shall cooperate in defending any third Person claim, and the defending party shall have reasonable access to the books, records and personnel which are pertinent to the defense and which are in the possession or control of the other party.  The Parties agree that any Indemnified Party, at its own expense, may join an Indemnifying Party in any action, claim or proceeding brought by a third Person, as to which any right of indemnity created by this Agreement would or might apply, for the purpose of enforcing any right of indemnity granted to such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement.

(a)                 Any claim for indemnification made directly by a Party and which does not result from a third Person claim or action, shall be asserted by written notice.  The Indemnifying Party shall have a period of 45 days within which to respond thereto.  If the Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 45‑day period, such Party shall be deemed to have accepted responsibility to make payment and shall have no further right to contest the validity of such claim. 

(b)                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) no investigation by or knowledge of Buyer shall affect or limit Buyer's rights to indemnity contained in this Article 11, and (ii) Buyer's inability to recover for Losses under Section 11.3(a)(i) (whether due to the scope of a particular representation or warranty or otherwise) shall not preclude Buyer from recovering under any other subsection of Section 11.3(a), each such subsection being an independent basis for indemnification.

(c)                 The Parties acknowledge that the provisions of Section 13.7 and that the same applies to all indemnity claims hereunder

61

11.5            Limitation on Recovery

With respect to any Losses for which indemnification is sought pursuant to Section 11.3, the Seller shall not be liable, except in the case of fraud, for any Losses relating to any matter to the extent that a specific liability or reserve relating to the matter was taken into account in the calculation of Net Working Capital as reflected in the Final Net Working Capital Statement. With respect to any Losses for which indemnification is sought pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 11.3, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable, except in the case of fraud, for any special, consequential or punitive damages, including loss of profits or goodwill, except (i) to the extent a Governmental Authority has required, or a third party settlement has provided (to the extent the Indemnifying Party has consented to the settlement and the amounts payable thereof, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), such amounts to be paid to a third Person or (ii) with respect to consequential damages, as provided in Section 8.27.

11.6            Duty to Mitigate

(a)                 Each Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Losses for which indemnification may be sought pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 11.3, including (i) using its commercially reasonable efforts to secure payment from insurance policies available and in existence (including the Environmental Insurance) that provide coverage with respect to such Losses (an "Insurance Payment") and (ii) using its commercially reasonable efforts to secure reimbursement, indemnity or other payment from any third Person obligated by Contract or otherwise to reimburse, indemnify or pay the Indemnified Party with respect to such Loss (a "Third Party Payment" and, together with an Insurance Payment, a "Mitigation Payment"), it being understood and agreed that the Indemnified Party shall not be required to exhaust or conclude its remedies with respect to such Mitigation Payments prior to seeking indemnification from the Indemnifying Party under Section 11.2 or Section 11.3, as the case may be.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the recovery by an Indemnified Party from any Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 11.3, as the case may be, shall not relieve the Indemnified Party of its obligation to mitigate Losses pursuant to this Section 11.6(a).

(b)                 Any amounts payable by an Indemnifying Party with respect to a particular Loss pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 11.3, as the case may be, shall be reduced by the amount of Mitigation Payment, if any, received by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Loss prior to payment therefor by the Indemnifying Party.  In the event an Indemnifying Party makes a payment with respect to a particular Loss pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 11.3, as the case may be, and thereafter the Indemnified Party receives a Mitigation Payment with respect to such Loss, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Mitigation Payment and (ii) the amount so paid by the Indemnifying Party.

(c)                 The Parties agree to treat indemnification payments as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(d)                 The Parties acknowledge and agree that a Party's reporting to a Governmental Authority under a good faith belief of a duty to report under applicable Law does not violate the Party's duty to mitigate.

11.7            Escrow Fund

At the Closing, the Escrow Amount shall be deposited by Buyer with the Escrow Agent, such deposit to constitute an escrow fund (the "Escrow Fund") and to be governed by the terms set forth herein and in the Escrow Agreement.  The Escrow Fund shall be available as security for the indemnification obligations of Seller for any Warranty Breach pursuant to Section 11.3(a)(i).  Buyer shall pay all fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent in connection with the administration of the Escrow Fund.

62

11.8            Indemnity is the Exclusive Remedy

Each Party acknowledges and agrees that after the Closing Date, absent fraud, its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to or arising out of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the other Party (or its Subsidiaries) in the Operative Agreements shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions of this Article 11; provided, however, that in the event of any Warranty Breach arising under Section 5.25 (Sufficiency), Seller may, in its sole discretion and in lieu of payment of money damages, cure such breach by delivering or otherwise conveying sufficient rights to the asset or assets in question giving rise to such Warranty Breach; provided further that to the extent any provision in this Agreement (other than this Article 11) or any other Operative Agreement expressly creates an indemnity obligation in one of the Parties, the provisions of this Article 11 will apply to such provision to the extent not inconsistent therewith.  However, nothing set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit or limit either Party's right at any time before, on or after the Closing Date, to seek injunctive or other equitable relief for the failure of the other Party to perform any covenant or agreement contained in any Operative Agreement, and the pursuit of injunctive relief shall not affect, modify or diminish in any way a Party's right to monetary relief in arbitration pursuant to Section 13.7(b).

11.9            Assignment of Claims

If an Indemnified Party receives any payment from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Loss pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 11.3 and the Indemnified Party could reasonably have recovered all or a part of such Loss from a third Person (a "Potential Contributor") based on the underlying claim asserted against the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall assign such of its rights to proceed against the Potential Contributor but only to the extent necessary to permit the Indemnifying Party to recover from the Potential Contributor the amount of such payment.

11.10         No Set‑Off

Neither Party may set‑off Losses against other payments to be made by the respective Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement without the written consent of the other Party.

Article 12

(ii)            the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the End Date; provided, however, that the failure of the Closing to occur is not due to a material breach hereof by the Party seeking termination;

(ii)            in the event of a Warranty Breach or Covenant Breach by Buyer such that the conditions set forth in Section 10.6 or Section 10.2, as applicable, would not be satisfied; provided, however, that Buyer is given notice to cure such breach and does not cure such breach within 60 days after receipt of notice from Seller requesting such breach be cured.

Any Party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.2 shall give written notice of such termination to the other Party.

13.12         Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such determination shall not impair or affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, and each provision is hereby declared to be separate, severable and distinct.  To the extent that any such provision is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties shall act in good faith to substitute for such provision, to the extent possible and as necessary, a new provision with content and purpose as close as possible to the provision so determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

68

13.13         Successors and Assigns

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding on and enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Neither Party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, however, that Buyer may assign or delegate its rights, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement in whole or in part to one or more Subsidiaries of Buyer without the consent of Seller if and so long as Buyer shall remain fully liable for the fulfillment of all such obligations; provided, further, that Seller may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement in connection with a transfer or sale of all or substantially all of Seller's assets provided that the assignee agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement.  Buyer and Buyer Subsidiaries shall have the right without consent of Seller to assign their rights under this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements as collateral to their respective lenders after reasonable prior notice to the other Party.  Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 13.13 shall be void and no assignment by Buyer or Seller to a Subsidiary thereof will relieve Buyer or Seller from any of their respective obligations hereunder.  Nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or should be construed to confer upon or give to any Person other than the parties hereto and their representatives, successors and assigns any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT 10.4

MENTOR CORPORATION

2005 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

(AS AMENDED NOVEMBER 2005)

1.         PURPOSE OF PLAN

            The purpose of this Mentor Corporation 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (this "Plan") of Mentor Corporation, a
            Minnesota corporation (the "Corporation"), is to promote the success of the Corporation and to increase
            shareholder value by providing an additional means through the grant of awards to attract, motivate, retain and
            reward selected employees and other eligible persons.  This Plan amends and restates the Corporation's
            Amended 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan.  The Share Limit set forth in Section 4.2 applies to awards granted
            under this Plan before and after this amendment and restatement of this Plan.  For purposes of clarity, no
            additional shares are added to the Share Limit as a result of this amendment and restatement.

2.         ELIGIBILITY

            The Administrator (as such term is defined in Section 3.1) may grant awards under this Plan only to those persons
            that the Administrator determines to be Eligible Persons.  An "Eligible Person" is any person who is either: (a) an
            officer (whether or not a director) or employee of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries; (b) a director of the
            Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries; or (c) an individual consultant or advisor who renders or has rendered bona
            fide services (other than services in connection with the offering or sale of securities of the Corporation or one of
            its Subsidiaries in a capital-raising transaction or as a market maker or promoter of securities of the Corporation
            or one of its Subsidiaries) to the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries and who is selected to participate in this
            Plan by the Administrator; provided, however, that a person who is otherwise an Eligible Person under clause
            (c) above may participate in this Plan only if such participation would not adversely affect either the Corporation's
            eligibility to use Form S-8 to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the
            offering and sale of shares issuable under this Plan by the Corporation or the Corporation's compliance with any
            other applicable laws.  An Eligible Person who has been granted an award (a "participant") may, if otherwise
            eligible, be granted additional awards if the Administrator shall so determine.  As used herein, "Subsidiary"
            means any corporation or other entity a majority of whose outstanding voting stock or voting power is beneficially
            owned directly or indirectly by the Corporation; and "Board" means the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

3.         PLAN ADMINISTRATION

            3.1    The Administrator.  This Plan shall be administered by and all awards under this Plan shall be authorized
                    by the Administrator.  The "Administrator" means the Board or one or more committees appointed
                    by the Board or another committee (within its delegated authority) to administer all or certain aspects of this
                    Plan.  Any such committee shall be comprised solely of one or more directors or such number of directors as
                    may be required under applicable law.  A committee may delegate some or all of its authority to another
                    committee so constituted.  The Board or a committee comprised solely of directors may also delegate, to the
                    extent permitted by applicable law, to one or more officers of the Corporation, its powers under this Plan (a)
                    to designate the officers and employees of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries who will receive grants of
                    awards under this Plan, and (b) to determine the number of shares subject to, and the other terms and
                    conditions of, such awards.  The Board may delegate different levels of authority to different committees
                    with administrative and grant authority under this Plan.  Unless otherwise provided in the Bylaws of the
                    Corporation or the applicable charter of any Administrator: (a) a majority of the members of the acting
                    Administrator shall constitute a quorum, and (b) the vote of a majority of the members present assuming
                    the presence of a quorum or the unanimous written consent of the members of the Administrator shall
                    constitute action by the acting Administrator.

                    With respect to awards intended to satisfy the requirements for performance-based compensation under
                    Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), this Plan shall be
                    administered by a committee consisting solely of two or more outside directors (as this requirement is
                    applied under Section 162(m) of the Code); provided, however, that the failure to satisfy such
            

1



                    requirement shall not affect the validity of the action of any committee otherwise duly authorized and
                    acting in the matter.  Award grants, and transactions in or involving awards, intended to be exempt
                    under Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
                    must be duly and timely authorized by the Board or a committee consisting solely of two or more
                    non-employee directors (as this requirement is applied under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the
                    Exchange Act).  To the extent required by any applicable listing agency, this Plan shall be
                    administered by a committee composed entirely of independent directors (within the meaning of the
                    applicable listing agency).

            3.2    Powers of the Administrator.  Subject to the express provisions of this Plan, the Administrator is
                    authorized and empowered to do all things necessary or desirable in connection with the
                    authorization of awards and the administration of this Plan (in the case of a committee or delegation
                    to one or more officers, within the authority delegated to that committee or person(s)), including,
                    without limitation, the authority to:

                    (a)    determine eligibility and, from among those persons determined to be eligible, the particular
                            Eligible Persons who will receive an award under this Plan;

                    (b)    grant awards to Eligible Persons, determine the price at which securities will be offered or
                            awarded and the number of securities to be offered or awarded to any of such persons,
                            determine the other specific terms and conditions of such awards consistent with the express
                            limits of this Plan, establish the installments (if any) in which such awards shall become
                            exercisable or shall vest (which may include, without limitation, performance and/or time-based
                            schedules), or determine that no delayed exercisability or vesting is required, establish any
                            applicable performance targets, and establish the events of termination or reversion of such
                            awards;

                    (c)    approve the forms of award agreements (which need not be identical either as to type of award or
                            among participants);

                    (d)    construe and interpret this Plan and any agreements defining the rights and obligations of the
                            Corporation, its Subsidiaries, and participants under this Plan, further define the terms used in
                            this Plan, and prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the administration
                            of this Plan or the awards granted under this Plan;

                    (e)    cancel, modify, or waive the Corporation's rights with respect to, or modify, discontinue,
                            suspend, or terminate any or all outstanding awards, subject to any required consent under
                            Section 8.6.5;

                    (f)     accelerate or extend the vesting or exercisability or extend the term of any or all such outstanding
                            awards (in the case of options, within the maximum ten-year term of such awards) in such
                            circumstances as the Administrator may deem appropriate (including, without limitation, in
                            connection with a termination of employment or services or other events of a personal nature)
                            subject to any required consent under Section 8.6.5;

                    (g)    adjust the number of shares of Common Stock subject to any award, adjust the price of any or all
                            outstanding awards or otherwise change previously imposed terms and conditions, in such
                            circumstances as the Administrator may deem appropriate, in each case subject to Sections 4
                            and 8.6, and provided that in no case (except due to an adjustment contemplated by Section 7
                            or any repricing that may be approved by shareholders) shall such an adjustment constitute
                            a repricing (by amendment, cancellation and regrant, exchange or other means) of the per
                            share exercise price of any option;

                    (h)    determine the date of grant of an award, which may be a designated date after but not before the
                            date of the Administrator's action (unless otherwise designated by the Administrator, the date of
                            grant of an award shall be the date upon which the Administrator took the action granting an award);

     

2



 

                    (i)     determine whether, and the extent to which, adjustments are required pursuant to Section 7 hereof
                            and authorize the termination, conversion, substitution or succession of awards upon the
                            occurrence of an event of the type described in Section 7;

                    (j)     acquire or settle (subject to Sections 7 and 8.6) rights under awards in cash, stock of equivalent
                            value, or other consideration; and 

                    (k)    determine the fair market value of the Common Stock or awards under this Plan from time to time
                            and/or the manner in which such value will be determined.

            3.3    Binding Determinations.  Any action taken by, or inaction of, the Corporation, any Subsidiary, or the
                    Administrator relating or pursuant to this Plan and within its authority hereunder or under applicable law
                    shall be within the absolute discretion of that entity or body and shall be conclusive and binding upon
                    all persons.  Neither the Board nor any Board committee, nor any member thereof or person acting at
                    the direction thereof, shall be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination
                    made in good faith in connection with this Plan (or any award made under this Plan), and all such persons
                    shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement by the Corporation in respect of any claim, loss,
                    damage or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) arising or resulting therefrom to the
                    fullest extent permitted by law and/or under any directors and officers liability insurance coverage that
                    may be in effect from time to time. 

            3.4    Reliance on Experts.  In making any determination or in taking or not taking any action under this Plan, the
                    Board or a committee, as the case may be, may obtain and may rely upon the advice of experts, including
                    employees and professional advisors to the Corporation.  No director, officer or agent of the Corporation or
                    any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any such action or determination taken or made or omitted in
                    good faith.

            3.5    Delegation.  The Administrator may delegate ministerial, non-discretionary functions to individuals who are
                    officers or employees of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or to third parties.

4.        SHARES OF COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN; SHARE LIMITS

            4.1    Shares Available.  Subject to the provisions of Section 7.1, the capital stock that may be delivered under
                    this Plan shall be shares of the Corporation's authorized but unissued Common Stock and any shares of its
                    Common Stock held as treasury shares.  For purposes of this Plan, "Common Stock" shall mean the
                    common stock of the Corporation and such other securities or property as may become the subject of
                    awards under this Plan, or may become subject to such awards, pursuant to an adjustment made under
                    Section 7.1.

            4.2    Share Limits.  The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered pursuant to awards
                    granted to Eligible Persons under this Plan is 6,000,000 shares (the "Share Limit").  The following limits
                    also apply with respect to awards granted under this Plan:

                    (a)    The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered pursuant to options qualified
                            as incentive stock options granted under this Plan is 6,000,000 shares.

                    (b)    The maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to options that are granted during any
                            fiscal year to any individual under this Plan is 500,000 shares.

     

 

3


 

                    (c)    The maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to all awards that are granted during any
                            fiscal year to any individual under this Plan is 500,000 shares.  This limit does not apply, however, to
                            shares delivered in respect of compensation earned but deferred.

                    (d)    Additional limits with respect to Performance-Based Awards are set forth in Section 5.2.3.

                    (e)    In no event will greater than ten percent (10%) of the total shares of Common Stock available for
                            award grant purposes under this Plan be used for purposes of granting certain "Special Full-Value
                            Awards" referred to in Section 5.1.4.

                    Each of the foregoing numerical limits is subject to adjustment as contemplated by Section 4.3, Section 7.1,
                    and Section 8.10.  

            4.3    Awards Settled in Cash, Reissue of Awards and Shares.  To the extent that an award is settled in cash
                    or a form other than shares of Common Stock, the shares that would have been delivered had there been no
                    such cash or other settlement shall not be counted against the shares available for issuance under this Plan.
                    In the event that shares of Common Stock are delivered in respect of a dividend equivalent right, only the
                    actual number of shares delivered with respect to the award shall be counted against the share limits of this
                    Plan.  To the extent that shares of Common Stock are delivered pursuant to the exercise of a stock option,
                    the number of underlying shares as to which the exercise related shall be counted against the applicable
                    share limits under Section 4.2, as opposed to only counting the shares actually issued.  Shares that are
                    subject to or underlie awards which expire or for any reason are cancelled or terminated, are forfeited, fail to
                    vest, or for any other reason are not paid or delivered under this Plan shall again be available for subsequent
                    awards under this Plan.  Refer to Section 8.10 for application of the foregoing share limits with respect to
                    assumed awards.  The foregoing adjustments to the share limits of this Plan are subject to any applicable
                    limitations under Section 162(m) of the Code with respect to awards intended as performance-based
                    compensation thereunder.

            4.4    Reservation of Shares; No Fractional Shares; Minimum Issue.  The Corporation shall at all times reserve
                    a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to cover the Corporation's obligations and contingent
                    obligations to deliver shares with respect to awards then outstanding under this Plan (exclusive of any
                    dividend equivalent obligations to the extent the Corporation has the right to settle such rights in cash). 
                    No fractional shares shall be delivered under this Plan.  The Administrator may pay cash in lieu of any
                    fractional shares in settlements of awards under this Plan.  No fewer than 100 shares may be purchased on
                    exercise of any award (or, in the case of stock purchase rights, no fewer than 100 rights may be exercised
                    at any one time) unless the total number purchased or exercised is the total number at the time available
                    for purchase or exercise under the award.

5.        AWARDS

            5.1    Type and Form of Awards.  The Administrator shall determine the type or types of award(s) to be made
                    to each selected Eligible Person.  Awards may be granted singly, in combination or in tandem.  Awards
                    also may be made in combination or in tandem with, in replacement of, as alternatives to, or as the
                    payment form for grants or rights under any other employee or compensation plan of the Corporation or
                    one of its Subsidiaries.  The types of awards that may be granted under this Plan are:

                    5.1.1    Stock Options.  A stock option is the grant of a right to purchase a specified number of shares of
                                Common Stock during a specified period as determined by the Administrator.  An option may be
                                intended as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code (an "ISO") or
                                a nonqualified stock option (an option not intended to be an ISO).  The award agreement for an
                                option will indicate if the option is intended as an ISO; otherwise it will be deemed to be a
                                nonqualified stock option.  The maximum term of each option (ISO or nonqualified) shall be ten (10)
                                years.  The per share exercise price for each option shall be not less than 100% of the fair market
                          
                            

4



                                value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of the option, except in the case of a stock
                                option granted retroactively in tandem with or as a substitution for another award, the per share
                                exercise price may be no lower than the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date
                                such other award was granted (to the extent consistent with Sections 422 and 424 of the Code in
                                the case of options intended as incentive stock options).  When an option is exercised, the exercise
                                price for the shares to be purchased shall be paid in full in cash or such other method permitted by
                                the Administrator consistent with Section 5.5.

                  5.1.2    Additional Rules Applicable to ISOs.  To the extent that the aggregate fair market value
                                (determined at the time of grant of the applicable option) of stock with respect to which ISOs first
                                become exercisable by a participant in any calendar year exceeds $100,000, taking into account both
                                Common Stock subject to ISOs under this Plan and stock subject to ISOs under all other plans of the
                                Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries (or any parent or predecessor corporation to the extent required

                                by and within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder),
                                such options shall be treated as nonqualified stock options.  In reducing the number of options treated
                                as ISOs to meet the $100,000 limit, the most recently granted options shall be reduced first.  To the
                                extent a reduction of simultaneously granted options is necessary to meet the $100,000 limit, the
                                Administrator may, in the manner and to the extent permitted by law, designate which shares of 
                                Common Stock are to be treated as shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO.  ISOs may
                                only be granted to employees of the Corporation or one of its subsidiaries (for this purpose, the term
                                "subsidiary" is used as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code, which generally requires an unbroken
                                chain of ownership of at least 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of each
                                subsidiary in the chain beginning with the Corporation and ending with the subsidiary in question). 
                                There shall be imposed in any award agreement relating to ISOs such other terms and conditions
                                as from time to time are required in order that the option be an "incentive stock option" as that term
                                is defined in Section 422 of the Code.  No ISO may be granted to any person who, at the time the
                                option is granted, owns (or is deemed to own under Section 424(d) of the Code) shares of
                                outstanding Common Stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all
                                classes of stock of the Corporation, unless the exercise price of such option is at least 110% of
                                the fair market value of the stock subject to the option and such option by its terms is not
                                exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date such option is granted.

                    5.1.3    Other Awards.  The other types of awards that may be granted under this Plan include: (a) stock
                                bonuses, restricted stock, performance stock, stock units, phantom stock, dividend equivalents, or
                                similar rights to purchase or acquire shares, whether at a fixed or variable price or ratio related to the
                                Common Stock, upon the passage of time, the occurrence of one or more events, or the satisfaction
                                of performance criteria or other conditions, or any combination thereof; (b) any similar securities with
                                a value derived from the value of or related to the Common Stock and/or returns thereon; or (c) cash
                                awards granted consistent with Section 5.2 below.

                    5.1.4    Minimum Vesting Requirements.  Except for any accelerated vesting required or permitted pursuant
                                to Section 7 and except as otherwise provided in the following provisions of this Section 5.1.4, and
                                subject to such additional vesting requirements or conditions as the Administrator may establish with
                                respect to the award, each award granted under this Plan that is a Full-Value Award (as defined
                                below) and payable in shares of Common Stock shall be subject to the following minimum vesting
                                requirements:  (a) if the award includes a performance-based vesting condition, the award shall not
                                vest earlier than the first anniversary of the date of grant of the award and vesting shall occur only
                                if the award holder is employed by, a director of, or otherwise providing services to the Corporation
                                or one of its Subsidiaries on such vesting date; and (b) if the award does not include a
                                performance-based vesting condition, the award shall not vest more rapidly than in monthly
                                installments over the three-year period immediately following the date of grant of the award and
                                vesting of any vesting installment of the award shall occur only if the award holder is employed by,
                                a director of, or otherwise providing services to the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries on the date
                                such installment is scheduled to vest; provided that the Administrator may accelerate or provide in
                                the applicable award agreement for the accelerated vesting of any Full-Value Award in connection
                                with a change in control of the award holder's employer (or a parent thereof) or the reportable
                                segment of the Corporation that employs the award holder, the termination of the award holder's

5


                                employment (including a termination of employment due to the award holder's death, disability or
                                retirement, but not including a termination of employment by the award holder's employer for
                                cause), or as consideration or partial consideration for a release by the award holder of pending
                                or threatened claims against the Corporation, the award holder's employer, or any of their
                                respective officers, directors or other affiliates (regardless of whether the release is given in
                                connection with a termination of employment by the award holder's employer for cause or other
                                circumstances).  The Administrator may, however, accelerate or provide in the applicable award
                                agreement for the accelerated vesting of any Full-Value Award in circumstances not contemplated
                                by the preceding sentence, and/or provide for a vesting schedule that is shorter than the minimum
                                schedule contemplated by the preceding sentence, in such circumstances as the Administrator
                                may deem appropriate; provided, however, that the portion of any such Full-Value Award that
                                vests earlier than the minimum vesting dates that would be applicable pursuant to the minimum
                                vesting requirements of the preceding sentence (or, as to any accelerated vesting, provides for
                                accelerated vesting other than in the circumstances contemplated by the preceding sentence)
                                shall count against the applicable share limits of Section 4.2 as a Special Full-Value Award.  For
                                purposes of this Plan, a "Full-Value Award" means any award under this Plan that is
                                neither: (1) a delivery of shares in respect of compensation earned but deferred nor (2) a stock option.

            5.2   Section 162(m) Performance-Based Awards.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any of the
                    types of awards listed in Section 5.1.3 above may be, and options granted with an exercise price not less
                    than the fair market value of a share of Common Stock at the date of grant ("Qualifying Options")
                    typically will be, granted as awards intended to satisfy the requirements for "performance-based
                    compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code ("Performance-Based Awards").  The
                    grant, vesting, exercisability or payment of Performance-Based Awards may depend (or, in the case of
                    Qualifying Options, may also depend) on the degree of achievement of one or more performance goals
                    relative to a pre-established targeted level or level using one or more of the Business Criteria set forth
                    below (on an absolute or relative basis) for the Corporation on a consolidated basis or for one or more of
                    the Corporation's subsidiaries, segments, divisions or business units, or any combination of the foregoing.
                    Any Qualifying Option shall be subject only to the requirements of Sections 5.2.1 and 5.2.3 in order for
                    such award to satisfy the requirements for "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the
                    Code.  Any other Performance-Based Award shall be subject to all of the following provisions of this
                    Section 5.2.

                    5.2.1     Class; AdministratorThe eligible class of persons for Performance-Based Awards under this
                                Section 5.2 shall be officers and employees of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries.  The
                                Administrator approving Performance-Based Awards or making any certification required pursuant
                                to Section 5.2.4 must be constituted as provided in Section 3.1 for awards that are intended as
                                performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.

                    5.2.2     Performance GoalsThe specific performance goals for Performance-Based Awards (other than
                                Qualifying Options) shall be, on an absolute or relative basis, established based on one or more
                                of the following business criteria ("Business Criteria") as selected by the Administrator in its sole
                                discretion:  earnings per share, cash flow (which means cash and cash equivalents derived from
                                either net cash flow from operations or net cash flow from operations, financing and investing
                                activities), total shareholder return, gross revenue, revenue growth, operating income (before or
                                after taxes), net earnings (before or after interest, taxes, depreciation and/or amortization), return
                                on equity or on assets
or on net investment, cost containment or reduction, or any combination
                                thereof.  These terms are used as applied under generally accepted accounting principles or in
                                the financial reporting of the Corporation or of its Subsidiaries.  To qualify awards as
                                performance-based under Section 162(m), the applicable Business Criterion (or Business Criteria,
                                as the case may be) and specific performance goal or goals ("targets") must be established and
                                approved by the Administrator during the first 90 days of the performance period (and, in the case
                                of performance periods of less than one year, in no event after 25% or more of the performance
                                period has elapsed) and while performance relating to such target(s) remains substantially
                                uncertain within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.  Performance targets shall be
                                adjusted to mitigate the unbudgeted impact of material, unusual or nonrecurring gains and losses,
                                accounting changes or other extraordinary events not foreseen at the time the targets were set
                                unless the Administrator provides otherwise at the time of establishing the targets.  The applicable
                                performance measurement period may not be less than three months nor more than 10 years.

                    5.2.3     Form of Payment; Maximum Performance-Based Award.  Grants or awards under this
                                Section 5.2 may be paid in cash or shares of Common Stock or any combination thereof.  Grants
                                of Qualifying Options to any one participant in any one fiscal year shall be subject to the limit set
                                forth in Section 4.2(b).  The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be delivered
                                pursuant to Performance-Based Awards (other than Qualifying Options and other than cash awards
                                covered by the following sentence) that are granted to any one participant in any one fiscal year
                                shall not exceed 100,000 shares, either individually or in the aggregate, subject to adjustment as
                                provided in Section 7.1.  In addition, the aggregate amount of compensation to be paid to any one
                                participant in respect of all Performance-Based Awards payable only in cash and not related to
                                shares of Common Stock and granted to that participant in any one fiscal year shall not exceed
                                $1,000,000.  Awards that are cancelled during the year shall be counted against these limits to the
                                extent permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code.

                    5.2.4    Certification of PaymentBefore any Performance-Based Award under this Section 5.2 (other than
                                Qualifying Options) is paid and to the extent required to qualify the award as performance-based
                                compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Administrator must certify in
                                writing that the performance target(s) and any other material terms of the Performance-Based Award
                                were in fact timely satisfied.

                    5.2.5    Reservation of DiscretionThe Administrator will have the discretion to determine the restrictions
                                or other limitations of the individual awards granted under this Section 5.2 including the authority to
                                reduce awards, payouts or vesting or to pay no awards, in its sole discretion, if the Administrator
                                preserves such authority at the time of grant by language to this effect in its authorizing resolutions
                                or otherwise.

                    5.2.6    Expiration of Grant AuthorityAs required pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code and the
                                regulations promulgated thereunder, the Administrator's authority to grant new awards that are
                                intended to qualify as performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) of
                                the Code (other than Qualifying Options) shall terminate upon the first meeting of the Corporation's
                                shareholders that occurs in the fifth year following the year in which the Corporation's shareholders
                                first approve this restated Plan.

            5.3    Award Agreements.  Each award shall be evidenced by a written award agreement in the form approved by
                    the Administrator and executed on behalf of the Corporation and, if required by the Administrator, executed
                    by the recipient of the award.  The Administrator may authorize any officer of the Corporation (other than the
                    particular award recipient) to execute any or all award agreements on behalf of the Corporation.  The award
                    agreement shall set forth the material terms and conditions of the award as established by the Administrator
                    consistent with the express limitations of this Plan.

           5.4    Deferrals and Settlements.  Payment of awards may be in the form of cash, Common Stock, other awards
                    or combinations thereof as the Administrator shall determine, and with such restrictions as it may impose. 
                    The Administrator may also require or permit participants to elect to defer the issuance of shares or the
                    settlement of awards in cash under such rules and procedures as it may establish under this Plan.  The
                    Administrator may also provide that deferred settlements include the payment or crediting of interest or other
                    earnings on the deferral amounts, or the payment or crediting of dividend equivalents where the deferred
                    amounts are denominated in shares.
 

7



            5.5    Consideration for Common Stock or Awards.  The purchase price for any award granted under this Plan
                    or the Common Stock to be delivered pursuant to an award, as applicable, may be paid by means of any
                    lawful consideration as determined by the Administrator, including, without limitation, one or a combination
                    of the following methods:

                    •    services rendered by the recipient of such award;

                    •    cash, check payable to the order of the Corporation, or electronic funds transfer;

                    •    notice and third party payment in such manner as may be authorized by the Administrator;

                    •    the delivery of previously owned shares of Common Stock;

                    •    by a reduction in the number of shares otherwise deliverable pursuant to the award; or

                    •    subject to such procedures as the Administrator may adopt, pursuant to a "cashless exercise" with a
                         third party who provides financing for the purposes of (or who otherwise facilitates) the purchase or
                         exercise of awards.

                    In no event shall any shares newly-issued by the Corporation be issued for less than the minimum lawful
                    consideration for such shares or for consideration other than consideration permitted by applicable state law. 
                    In the event that the Administrator allows a participant to exercise an award by delivering shares of Common
                    Stock previously owned by such participant and unless otherwise expressly provided by the Administrator,
                    any shares delivered which were initially acquired by the participant from the Corporation (upon exercise of a
                    stock option or otherwise) must have been owned by the participant at least six months as of the date of
                    delivery.  Shares of Common Stock used to satisfy the exercise price of an option shall be valued at their fair
                    market value on the date of exercise.  The Corporation will not be obligated to deliver any shares unless and
                    until it receives full payment of the exercise or purchase price therefore and any related withholding
                    obligations under Section 8.5 and any other conditions to exercise or purchase have been satisfied.  Unless
                    otherwise expressly provided in the applicable award agreement, the Administrator may at any time eliminate
                    or limit a participant's ability to pay the purchase or exercise price of any award or shares by any method
                    other than cash payment to the Corporation.

            5.6    Definition of Fair Market Value.  For purposes of this Plan, "fair market value" shall mean, unless otherwise
                    determined or provided by the Administrator in the circumstances, the closing price for a share of Common
                    Stock as reported on the composite tape for securities listed in the New York Stock Exchange
                    (the "Exchange") for the date in question or, if no sales of Common Stock were made on the Exchange on
                    that date, the closing price for a share of Common Stock as reported on said composite tape for the next
                    preceding day on which sales of Common Stock were made on the Exchange.  The Administrator may,
                    however, provide with respect to one or more awards that the fair market value shall equal the last closing
                    price for a share of Common Stock as reported on the composite tape for securities listed on the Exchange
                    available on the date in question or the average of the high and low trading prices of a share of Common
                    Stock as reported on the composite tape for securities listed on the Exchange for the date in question or the
                    most recent trading day.  If the Common Stock is no longer listed or is no longer actively traded on the
                    Exchange as of the applicable date, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be the value as
                    reasonably determined by the Administrator for purposes of the award in the circumstances.  The
                    Administrator also may adopt a different methodology for determining fair market value with respect to one
                    or more awards if a different methodology is necessary or advisable to secure any intended favorable tax,
                    legal or other treatment for the particular award(s) (for example, and without limitation, the Administrator
                    may provide that fair market value for purposes of one or more awards will be based on an average of
                    closing prices (or the average of high and low daily trading prices) for a specified period preceding the
                    relevant date). 

8



            5.7    Transfer Restrictions.

                    5.7.1    Limitations on Exercise and Transfer.  Unless otherwise expressly provided in (or pursuant to) this
                                Section 5.7, by applicable law and by the award agreement, as the same may be amended, (a) all
                                awards are non-transferable and shall not be subject in any manner to sale, transfer, anticipation,
                                alienation, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge; (b) awards shall be exercised only by the
                                participant; and (c) amounts payable or shares issuable pursuant to any award shall be delivered
                                only to (or for the account of) the participant.

                    5.7.2    Exceptions.  The Administrator may permit awards to be exercised by and paid to, or otherwise
                                transferred to, other persons or entities pursuant to such conditions and procedures, including
                                limitations on subsequent transfers, as the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, establish in
                                writing.  Any permitted transfer shall be subject to compliance with applicable federal and state
                                securities laws and shall not be a transfer for value (other nominal consideration, settlement of
                                marital property rights, or for interests in an entity in which more than fifty percent of the voting
                                interests are held by the Eligible Person or by the Eligible Person's family members).

                    5.7.3    Further Exceptions to Limits on Transfer.  The exercise and transfer restrictions in
                                Section 5.7.1 shall not apply to:

                                (a)    transfers to the Corporation,

                                (b)    the designation of a beneficiary to receive benefits in the event of the participant's death
                                        or, if the participant has died, transfers to or exercise by the participant's beneficiary, or,
                                        in the absence of a validly designated beneficiary, transfers by will or the laws of descent
                                        and distribution,

                                (c)    subject to any applicable limitations on ISOs, transfers to a family member (or former family
                                        member) pursuant to a domestic relations order if approved or ratified by the Administrator,

                                (d)    if the participant has suffered a disability, permitted transfers or exercises on behalf of the
                                        participant by his or her legal representative, or

                                (e)    the authorization by the Administrator of "cashless exercise" procedures with third parties
                                        who provide financing for the purpose of (or who otherwise facilitate) the exercise of awards
                                        consistent with applicable laws and the express authorization of the Administrator.

            5.8    International Awards.  One or more awards may be granted to Eligible Persons who provide services to the
                    Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries outside of the United States.  Any awards granted to such persons
                    may be granted pursuant to the terms and conditions of any applicable sub-plans, if any, appended to this
                    Plan and approved by the Administrator.

6.        EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE ON AWARDS

            6.1    General.  The Administrator shall establish the effect of a termination of employment or service on the rights
                    and benefits under each award under this Plan and in so doing may make distinctions based upon, inter alia,
                    the cause of termination and type of award.  If the participant is not an employee of the Corporation or one of
                    its Subsidiaries and provides other services to the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, the Administrator
                    shall be the sole judge for purposes of this Plan (unless a contract or the award otherwise provides) of
                    whether the participant continues to render services to the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries and the
                    date, if any, upon which such services shall be deemed to have terminated.

 

9



           6.2    Events Not Deemed Terminations of Service.  Unless the express policy of the Corporation or one of its
                    Subsidiaries, or the Administrator, otherwise provides, the employment relationship shall not be considered
                    terminated in the case of (a) sick leave, (b) military leave, or (c) any other leave of absence authorized by the
                    Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, or the Administrator; provided that unless reemployment upon the
                    expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or law, such leave is for a period of not more than 90 days.
                    In the case of any employee of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries on an approved leave of absence,
                    continued vesting of the award while on leave from the employ of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries
                    may be suspended until the employee returns to service, unless the Administrator otherwise provides or
                    applicable law otherwise requires.  In no event shall an award be exercised after the expiration of the term
                    set forth in the award agreement.

            6.3    Effect of Change of Subsidiary Status.  For purposes of this Plan and any award, if an entity ceases to
                    be a Subsidiary of the Corporation a termination of employment or service shall be deemed to have occurred
                    with respect to each Eligible Person in respect of such Subsidiary who does not continue as an Eligible
                    Person in respect of another entity within the Corporation or another Subsidiary that continues as such
                    after giving effect to the transaction or other event giving rise to the change in status.

7.        ADJUSTMENTS; ACCELERATION

            7.1    Adjustments.  Upon or in contemplation of: any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a
                    stock split in the form of a stock dividend) or reverse stock split ("stock split"); any merger, combination,
                    consolidation, or other reorganization; any spin-off, split-up, or similar extraordinary dividend distribution in
                    respect of the Common Stock (whether in the form of securities or property); any exchange of Common
                    Stock or other securities of the Corporation, or any similar, unusual or extraordinary corporate transaction
                    in respect of the Common Stock; or a sale of all or substantially all the business or assets of the
                    Corporation as an entirety; then the Administrator shall, in such manner, to such extent (if any) and at
                    such time as it deems appropriate and equitable in the circumstances:

                    (a)    proportionately adjust any or all of (1) the number and type of shares of Common Stock (or other
                            securities) that thereafter may be made the subject of awards (including the specific share limits,
                            maximums and numbers of shares set forth elsewhere in this Plan), (2) the number, amount and type
                            of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to any or all outstanding awards,
                            (3) the grant, purchase, or exercise price of any or all outstanding awards, (4) the securities, cash or
                            other property deliverable upon exercise or payment of any outstanding awards, or (5) (subject to
                            Section 8.8.3(a)) the performance standards applicable to any outstanding awards, or

                    (b)    make provision for a cash payment or for the assumption, substitution or exchange of any or all
                            outstanding share-based awards or the cash, securities or property deliverable to the holder of any or
                            all outstanding share-based awards, based upon the distribution or consideration payable to holders of
                            the Common Stock upon or in respect of such event.

                    The Administrator may adopt such valuation methodologies for outstanding awards as it deems reasonable
                    in the event of a cash or property settlement and, in the case of options, but without limitation on other
                    methodologies, may base such settlement solely upon the excess if any of the per share amount payable
                    upon or in respect of such event over the exercise price of the award.  With respect to any award of an ISO,
                    the Administrator may make such an adjustment that causes the option to cease to qualify as an ISO
                    without the consent of the affected participant.

                    In any of such events, the Administrator may take such action prior to such event to the extent that the
                    Administrator deems the action necessary to permit the participant to realize the benefits intended to be
                    conveyed with respect to the underlying shares in the same manner as is or will be available to shareholders
                    generally.  In the case of any stock split or reverse stock split, if no action is taken by the Administrator, the
                    proportionate adjustments contemplated by clause (a) above shall nevertheless be made.

10



            7.2    Automatic Acceleration of Awards.  Upon a dissolution of the Corporation or other event described in
                    Section 7.1 that the Corporation does not survive (or does not survive as a public company in respect of its
                    Common Stock), then each then-outstanding option shall become fully vested, all shares of restricted stock
                    then outstanding shall fully vest free of restrictions, and each other award granted under this Plan that is
                    then outstanding shall become payable to the holder of such award; provided that such acceleration provision
                    shall not apply, unless otherwise expressly provided by the Administrator, with respect to any award to the
                    extent that the Administrator has made a provision for the substitution, assumption, exchange or other
                    continuation or settlement of the award, or the award would otherwise continue in accordance with its terms,
                    in the circumstances.

            7.3    Possible Acceleration of Awards.  Without limiting Section 7.2, in the event of a Change in Control Event
                    (as defined below), the Administrator may, in its discretion, provide that any outstanding option shall become
                    fully vested, that any share of restricted stock then outstanding shall fully vest free of restrictions, and that
                    any other award granted under this Plan that is then outstanding shall be payable to the holder of such
                    award.  The Administrator may take such action with respect to all awards then outstanding or only with
                    respect to certain specific awards identified by the Administrator in the circumstances.  For purposes of this
                    Plan, "Change in Control Event" means any of the following:

                    (a)    The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of
                            the Exchange Act (a "Person")) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated
                            under the Exchange Act) of more than 20% of either (1) the then-outstanding shares of common stock
                            of the Corporation (the "Outstanding Company Common Stock") or (2) the combined voting power of
                            the then-outstanding voting securities of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of
                            directors (the "Outstanding Company Voting Securities"); provided, however, that, for purposes of
                            this clause (a), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change in Control Event; (A) any
                            acquisition directly from the Corporation, (B) any acquisition by the Corporation, (C) any acquisition by
                            any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Corporation or any affiliate
                            of the Corporation or a successor, or (D) any acquisition by any entity pursuant to a transaction that
                            complies with Sections (c)(1), (2) and (3) below;

                    (b)    Individuals who, as of the Effective Date, constitute the Board (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any
                            reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a
                            director subsequent to the Effective Date whose election, or nomination for election by the Corporation's
                            shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then comprising the
                            Incumbent Board (including for these purposes, the new members whose election or nomination was so
                            approved, without counting the member and his predecessor twice) shall be considered as though such
                            individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual
                            whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with
                            respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or
                            consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board;

                  (c)    Consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange or consolidation or similar
                            corporate transaction involving the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, a sale or other disposition of
                            all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or the acquisition of assets or stock of another
                            entity by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (each, a "Business Combination"), in each case
                            unless, following such Business Combination, (1) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities
                            that were the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and the Outstanding
                            Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly
                            or indirectly, more than 60% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting
                            power of the then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as
                            the case may be, of the entity resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation,
                            an entity that, as a result of such transaction, owns the Corporation or all or substantially all of the
 

11



                            Corporation's assets directly or through one or more subsidiaries (a "Parent")) in substantially the same
                            proportions as their ownership immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding
                            Company Common Stock and the Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (2) no
                            Person (excluding any entity resulting from such Business Combination or a Parent or any employee
                            benefit plan (or related trust) of the Corporation or such entity resulting from such Business
                            Combination or Parent) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, more than 20% of, respectively, the
                            then-outstanding shares of common stock of the entity resulting from such Business Combination or
                            the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of such entity, except to the extent
                            that the ownership in excess of 20% existed prior to the Business Combination, and (3) at least a
                            majority of the members of the board of directors or trustees of the entity resulting from such Business
                            Combination or a Parent were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the
                            initial agreement or of the action of the Board providing for such Business Combination; or

                    (d)    Approval by the shareholders of the Corporation of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the
                            Corporation other than in the context of a transaction that does not constitute a Change in Control
                            Event under clause (c) above.

            7.4    Early Termination of Awards.  Any award that has been accelerated as required or contemplated by
                    Section 7.2 or 7.3 (or would have been so accelerated but for Section 7.5, 7.6 or 7.7) shall terminate upon the
                    related event referred to in Section 7.2 or 7.3, as applicable, subject to any provision that has been expressly
                    made by the Administrator, through a plan of reorganization or otherwise, for the survival, substitution,
                    assumption, exchange or other continuation or settlement of such award and provided that, in the case of
                    options that will not survive, be substituted for, assumed, exchanged, or otherwise continued or settled in the
                    transaction, the holder of such award shall be given reasonable advance notice of the impending termination
                    and a reasonable opportunity to exercise his or her outstanding options in accordance with their terms before
                    the termination of such awards (except that in no case shall more than ten days' notice of accelerated vesting
                    and the impending termination be required and any acceleration may be made contingent upon the actual
                    occurrence of the event).

            7.5    Other Acceleration Rules.  Any acceleration of awards pursuant to this Section 7 shall comply with
                    applicable legal requirements and, if necessary to accomplish the purposes of the acceleration or if the
                    circumstances require, may be deemed by the Administrator to occur a limited period of time not greater
                    than 30 days before the event.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator may deem
                    an acceleration to occur immediately prior to the applicable event and/or reinstate the original terms of an
                    award if an event giving rise to an acceleration does not occur.  The Administrator may override the
                    provisions of Section 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 and/or 7.6 by express provision in the award agreement and may accord
                    any Eligible Person a right to refuse any acceleration, whether pursuant to the award agreement or
                    otherwise, in such circumstances as the Administrator may approve.  The portion of any ISO accelerated in
                    connection with a Change in Control Event or any other action permitted hereunder shall remain exercisable
                    as an ISO only to the extent the applicable $100,000 limitation on ISOs is not exceeded.  To the extent
                    exceeded, the accelerated portion of the option shall be exercisable as a nonqualified stock option under
                    the Code.

            7.6    Possible Rescission of Acceleration.  If the vesting of an award has been accelerated expressly in
                    anticipation of an event or upon shareholder approval of an event and the Administrator later determines that
                    the event will not occur, the Administrator may rescind the effect of the acceleration as to any then
                    outstanding and unexercised or otherwise unvested awards.

            7.7    Golden Parachute Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Section 7 to the contrary,
                    in no event shall an award be accelerated under this Plan to an extent or in a manner which would not be
                    fully deductible by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries for federal income tax purposes because of
                    Section 280G of the Code, nor shall any payment hereunder be accelerated to the extent any portion of
                    such accelerated payment would not be deductible by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries because
                    of Section 280G of the Code.  If a participant would be entitled to benefits or payments hereunder and under
                    any other plan or program that would constitute "parachute payments" as defined in Section 280G of the
                    Code, then the participant may by written notice to the Corporation designate the order in which such
 

12



                    parachute payments will be reduced or modified so that the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries is not
                    denied federal income tax deductions for any "parachute payments" because of Section 280G of the Code. 
                    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a participant is a party to an employment or other agreement with the
                    Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, or is a participant in a severance program sponsored by the
                    Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, that contains express provisions regarding Section 280G and/or
                    Section 4999 of the Code (or any similar successor provision), the Section 280G and/or Section 4999
                    provisions of such employment or other agreement or plan, as applicable, shall control as to any awards
                    held by that participant (for example, and without limitation, a participant may be a party to an employment
                    agreement with the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries that provides for a "gross-up" as opposed to a
                    "cut-back" in the event that the Section 280G thresholds are reached or exceeded in connection with a
                    change in control and, in such event, the Section 280G and/or Section 4999 provisions of such employment
                    agreement shall control as to any awards held by that participant).

8.        OTHER PROVISIONS

            8.1    Compliance with Laws.  This Plan, the granting and vesting of awards under this Plan, the offer, issuance
                    and delivery of shares of Common Stock, the acceptance of promissory notes and/or the payment of money
                    under this Plan or under awards are subject to compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, rules
                    and regulations (including but not limited to state and federal securities law, federal margin requirements)
                    and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel
                    for the Corporation, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith.  The person acquiring any securities
                    under this Plan will, if requested by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, provide such assurances and
                    representations to the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries as the Administrator may deem necessary or
                    desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal and accounting requirements.

            8.2    No Rights to Award.  No person shall have any claim or rights to be granted an award (or additional
                    awards, as the case may be) under this Plan, subject to any express contractual rights (set forth in a
                    document other than this Plan) to the contrary.

            8.3    No Employment/Service Contract.  Nothing contained in this Plan (or in any other documents under this
                    Plan or in any award) shall confer upon any Eligible Person or other participant any right to continue in the
                    employ or other service of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, constitute any contract or agreement of
                    employment or other service or affect an employee's status as an employee at will, nor shall interfere in any
                    way with the right of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries to change a person's compensation or other
                    benefits, or to terminate his or her employment or other service, with or without cause.  Nothing in this
                    Section 8.3, however, is intended to adversely affect any express independent right of such person under a
                    separate employment or service contract other than an award agreement.

            8.4    Plan Not Funded.  Awards payable under this Plan shall be payable in shares or from the general assets
                    of the Corporation, and no special or separate reserve, fund or deposit shall be made to assure payment of
                    such awards.  No participant, beneficiary or other person shall have any right, title or interest in any fund or
                    in any specific asset (including shares of Common Stock, except as expressly otherwise provided) of the
                    Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries by reason of any award hereunder.  Neither the provisions of this Plan
                    (or of any related documents), nor the creation or adoption of this Plan, nor any action taken pursuant to the
                    provisions of this Plan shall create, or be construed to create, a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship
                    between the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries and any participant, beneficiary or other person.  To the
                    extent that a participant, beneficiary or other person acquires a right to receive payment pursuant to any
                    award hereunder, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the
                    Corporation.

 

13



            8.5    Tax Withholding.  Upon any exercise, vesting, or payment of any award or upon the disposition of shares
                    of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO prior to satisfaction of the holding period
                    requirements of Section 422 of the Code, the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries shall have the right at its
                    option to:

                    (a)    require the participant (or the participant's personal representative or beneficiary, as the case may be)
                            to pay or provide for payment of at least the minimum amount of any taxes which the Corporation or
                            one of its Subsidiaries may be required to withhold with respect to such award event or payment; or

                    (b)    deduct from any amount otherwise payable in cash to the participant (or the participant's personal
                            representative or beneficiary, as the case may be) the minimum amount of any taxes which the
                            Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries may be required to withhold with respect to such cash payment.

                    In any case where a tax is required to be withheld in connection with the delivery of shares of Common
                    Stock under this Plan, the Administrator may in its sole discretion (subject to Section 8.1) grant (either at
                    the time of the award or thereafter) to the participant the right to elect, pursuant to such rules and subject
                    to such conditions as the Administrator may establish, to have the Corporation reduce the number of
                    shares to be delivered by (or otherwise reacquire) the appropriate number of shares, valued in a consistent
                    manner at their fair market value or at the sales price in accordance with authorized procedures for
                    cashless exercises, necessary to satisfy the minimum applicable withholding obligation on exercise, vesting
                    or payment.  In no event shall the shares withheld exceed the minimum whole number of shares required for
                    tax withholding under applicable law.  The Corporation may, with the Administrator's approval, accept one or
                    more promissory notes from any Eligible Person in connection with taxes required to be withheld upon the
                    exercise, vesting or payment of any award under this Plan; provided that any such note shall be subject to
                    terms and conditions established by the Administrator and the requirements of applicable law. 

            8.6    Effective Date, Termination and Suspension, Amendments.

                    8.6.1    Effective Date.  This Plan is effective as of July 25, 2005, the date of its approval by the Board
                                (the "Effective Date").  This Plan shall be submitted for and subject to shareholder approval no
                                later than twelve months after the Effective Date.  Unless earlier terminated by the Board, this
                                Plan shall terminate at the close of business on the day before the tenth anniversary of the
                                Effective Date.  After the termination of this Plan either upon such stated expiration date or its
                                earlier termination by the Board, no additional awards may be granted under this Plan, but
                                previously granted awards (and the authority of the Administrator with respect thereto, including
                                the authority to amend such awards) shall remain outstanding in accordance with their applicable
                                terms and conditions and the terms and conditions of this Plan.

                    8.6.2    Board Authorization.  The Board may, at any time, terminate or, from time to time, amend,
                                modify or suspend this Plan, in whole or in part.  No awards may be granted during any period
                                that the Board suspends this Plan.

                    8.6.3    Shareholder Approval.  An amendment to this Plan shall be subject to shareholder approval:
                                (a) to the extent then required by applicable law or any applicable listing agency or required
                                under Section 162, 422 or 424 of the Code to preserve the intended tax consequences of this
                                Plan, (b) if shareholder approval for the amendment is otherwise deemed necessary or advisable
                                by the Board or (c) if the amendment increases the Share Limit set forth in Section 4.2.

                    8.6.4     Amendments to Awards.  Without limiting any other express authority of the Administrator under
                                (but subject to) the express limits of this Plan, the Administrator by agreement or resolution may
                                waive conditions of or limitations on awards to participants that the Administrator in the prior exercise
                                of its discretion has imposed, without the consent of a participant, and (subject to the requirements
                                of Sections 3.2 and 8.6.5) may make other changes to the terms and conditions of awards.  Any
                                amendment or other action that would constitute a repricing of an award is subject to the limitations
                                set forth in Section 3.2(g).

 

14



                    8.6.5     Limitations on Amendments to Plan and Awards.  No amendment, suspension or termination of
                                this Plan or amendment of any outstanding award agreement shall, without written consent of the
                                participant, affect in any manner materially adverse to the participant any rights or benefits of the
                                participant or obligations of the Corporation under any award granted under this Plan prior to the
                                effective date of such change.  Changes, settlements and other actions contemplated by Section 7
                                shall not be deemed to constitute changes or amendments for purposes of this Section 8.6.

            8.7    Privileges of Stock Ownership.  Except as otherwise expressly authorized by the Administrator or this
                    Plan, a participant shall not be entitled to any privilege of stock ownership as to any shares of Common
                    Stock not actually delivered to and held of record by the participant.  No adjustment will be made for
                    dividends or other rights as a shareholder for which a record date is prior to such date of delivery.

            8.8    Governing Law; Construction; Severability.

                    8.8.1    Choice of Law.  This Plan, the awards, all documents evidencing awards and all other related
                                documents shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
                                of Minnesota.

                    8.8.2    Severability.  If a court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision invalid and unenforceable,
                                the remaining provisions of this Plan shall continue in effect.

                    8.8.3    Plan Construction.

                                (a)    Rule 16b-3.  It is the intent of the Corporation that the awards and transactions permitted
                                        by awards be interpreted in a manner that, in the case of participants who are or may
                                        be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, qualify, to the maximum extent compatible
                                        with the express terms of the award, for exemption from matching liability under Rule 16b-3
                                        promulgated under the Exchange Act.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall
                                        have no liability to any participant for Section 16 consequences of awards or events under
                                        awards if an award or event does not so qualify.

                            (b)    Section 162(m).  Awards under Section 5.1.3 to persons described in Section 5.2 that are
                                        either granted or become vested, exercisable or payable based on attainment of one or
                                        more performance goals related to the Business Criteria, as well as Qualifying Options
                                        granted to persons described in Section 5.2, that are approved by a committee composed
                                        solely of two or more outside directors (as this requirement is applied under Section 162(m)
                                        of the Code) shall be deemed to be intended as performance-based compensation within
                                        the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code unless such committee provides otherwise at
                                        the time of grant of the award.  It is the further intent of the Corporation that (to the extent
                                        the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries or awards under this Plan may be or become
                                        subject to limitations on deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Code) any such awards
                                        and any other Performance-Based Awards under Section 5.2 that are granted to or held
                                        by a person subject to Section 162(m) will qualify as performance-based compensation
                                        or otherwise be exempt from deductibility limitations under Section 162(m).

            8.9   Captions.  Captions and headings are given to the sections and subsections of this Plan solely as a
                    convenience to facilitate reference.  Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or
                    relevant to the construction or interpretation of this Plan or any provision thereof.

 

15



            8.10  Stock-Based Awards in Substitution for Stock Options or Awards Granted by Other Corporation.
                    Awards may be granted to Eligible Persons in substitution for or in connection with an assumption of
                    employee stock options, restricted stock or other stock-based awards granted by other entities to
                    persons who are or who will become Eligible Persons in respect of the Corporation or one of its
                    Subsidiaries, in connection with a distribution, merger or other reorganization by or with the granting
                    entity or an affiliated entity, or the acquisition by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, directly or
                    indirectly, of all or a substantial part of the stock or assets of the employing entity.  The awards so
                    granted need not comply with other specific terms of this Plan, provided the awards reflect only
                    adjustments giving effect to the assumption or substitution consistent with the conversion applicable to
                    the Common Stock in the transaction and any change in the issuer of the security.  Any shares that
                    are delivered and any awards that are granted by, or become obligations of, the Corporation, as a result
                    of the assumption by the Corporation of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by
                    an acquired company (or previously granted by a predecessor employer (or direct or indirect parent
                    thereof) in the case of persons that become employed by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries in
                    connection with a business or asset acquisition or similar transaction) shall not be counted against the
                    Share Limit or other limits on the number of shares available for issuance under this Plan.

            8.11  Non-Exclusivity of Plan.  Nothing in this Plan shall limit or be deemed to limit the authority of the
                    Board or the Administrator to grant awards or authorize any other compensation, with or without
                    reference to the Common Stock, under any other plan or authority.

            8.12  No Corporate Action Restriction.  The existence of this Plan, the award agreements and the awards
                    granted hereunder shall not limit, affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Board or the
                    shareholders of the Corporation to make or authorize: (a) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization
                    or other change in the capital structure or business of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, (b) any merger,
                    amalgamation, consolidation or change in the ownership of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, (c) any
                    issue of bonds, debentures, capital, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the capital
                    stock (or the rights thereof) of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, (d) any dissolution or liquidation of the
                    Corporation or any Subsidiary, (e) any sale or transfer of all or any part of the assets or business of the
                    Corporation or any Subsidiary, or (f) any other corporate act or proceeding by the Corporation or any
                    Subsidiary.  No participant, beneficiary or any other person shall have any claim under any award or
                    award agreement against any member of the Board or the Administrator, or the Corporation or any
                    employees, officers or agents of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, as a result of any such action.

            8.13  Other Company Benefit and Compensation Programs.  Payments and other benefits received by a
                    participant under an award made pursuant to this Plan shall not be deemed a part of a participant's
                    compensation for purposes of the determination of benefits under any other employee welfare or benefit
                    plans or arrangements, if any, provided by the Corporation or any Subsidiary, except where the
                    Administrator expressly otherwise provides or authorizes in writing.  Awards under this Plan may be
                    made in addition to, in combination with, as alternatives to or in payment of grants, awards or
                    commitments under any other plans or arrangements of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries.

EXHIBIT 10.41

MENTOR CORPORATION
2005 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (this "Award Agreement") is dated as of [____________, _____] (the "Award Date") by and between Mentor Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (the "Corporation"), and [______________] (the "Participant").

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Mentor Corporation 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), the Corporation hereby grants to the Participant, effective as of the date hereof, a restricted stock award (the "Award"), upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of services rendered and to be rendered by the Participant, and the mutual promises made herein and the mutual benefits to be derived therefrom, the parties agree as follows:

1.                   Defined Terms.  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Plan.

2.                   Grant; Purchase Price.  Subject to the terms of this Award Agreement, the Corporation hereby grants to the Participant an Award with respect to an aggregate of [________] restricted shares of Common Stock of the Corporation (the "Restricted Stock") [at a purchase price of [______] per share (the "Purchase Price")].

3.                   Vesting.  Subject to Section 9 below, the Award shall vest, and restrictions (other than those set forth in Section 8.1 of the Plan) shall lapse, with respect to one-fifth of the total number of shares of Restricted Stock (subject to adjustment under Section 7.1 of the Plan) on each of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the Award Date.

4.                   Continuance of Employment.  The vesting schedule requires continued employment or service through each applicable vesting date as a condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of the Award and the rights and benefits under this Award Agreement.  Partial employment or service, even if substantial, during any vesting period will not entitle the Participant to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a termination of employment or services as provided in Section 9 below or under the Plan.

Nothing contained in this Award Agreement or the Plan constitutes an employment or service commitment by the Corporation, affects the Participant's status, if the Participant is an employee, as an employee at will who is subject to termination without cause, confers upon the Participant any right to remain employed by or in service to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, interferes in any way with the right of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries at any time to terminate such employment or services, or affects the right of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to increase or decrease the Participant's other compensation or benefits.  Nothing in this paragraph, however, is intended to adversely affect any independent contractual right of the Participant without his or her consent thereto.

5.                   Dividend and Voting Rights.  After the Award Date, the Participant shall be entitled to cash dividends and voting rights with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock subject to the Award even though such shares are not vested, provided that such rights shall terminate immediately as to any shares of Restricted Stock that are forfeited pursuant to Section 9 below.



6.                   Restrictions on Transfer.

(a)                 Before Vesting.  Prior to the time that they have become vested pursuant to Section 3, neither the Restricted Stock, nor any interest therein, amount payable in respect thereof, or Restricted Property (as defined in Section 10 hereof) may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of, alienated or encumbered (collectively, a "Transfer"), either voluntarily or involuntarily.  The Transfer restrictions in the preceding sentence shall not apply to (i) transfers to the Corporation, or (ii) transfers by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

(b)                 After Vesting.  Upon and after the time that any shares of Restricted Stock have vested pursuant to Section 3, the Participant shall be permitted to Transfer (subject to applicable securities law requirements, the Corporation's insider trading policies, and other applicable laws and regulations) up to forty percent (40%) of such shares in the aggregate (taking into consideration the total number of shares of Restricted Stock that have vested pursuant to Section 3 and any past Transfers of any of such shares by the Participant).  The Administrator may, in its discretion, increase the foregoing percentage if the Participant demonstrates that such greater percentage is necessary to satisfy any income and employment taxes attributable to the vesting of such shares.  The Transfer limitation in the first sentence of this Section 6(b) shall not apply to (i) transfers to the Corporation, or (ii) transfers by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  The Transfer restriction in this Section 6(b) shall terminate on the earlier to occur of (x) the fifth anniversary of the Award Date (but the shares shall continue to be subject to the restrictions of Section 7), or (y) the Participant's Severance Date (as defined below).

7.                   Stock Ownership Guidelines.  By accepting the Award and executing this Award Agreement, the Participant agrees to be bound by the stock ownership requirements set forth in this Section 7.

(a)                 Ownership Threshold.  The Participant's "Ownership Threshold" shall be the number of shares of the Corporation's Common Stock obtained when (i) the product obtained by multiplying (A) the Participant's [annual retainer (in the case of Directors)] [or] [annualized base salary (in the case of CEO and other Corporation Officers)] in effect as of the Award Date, by (B) [three (3) (in the case of Directors and CEO)] [or] [two (2) (in the case of non-CEO Corporation Officers)], is divided by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Award Date.  The Ownership Threshold shall be subject to adjustment by the Administrator as provided in Section 10 hereof.  The Participant agrees to attain a level of Stock Ownership (as defined below) at least equal to the Ownership Threshold no later than the fifth anniversary of the Award Date and to maintain such level of Stock Ownership throughout the remainder of the Participant's employment or service with the Corporation and its Subsidiaries.

(b)                 Stock Ownership.  For purposes of this Section 7 and subject to the next sentence, the Participant's "Stock Ownership" shall consist of all actual shares of Common Stock actually or beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) owned by the Participant.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, none of the following shall constitute shares of Common Stock actually or beneficially owned by the Participant for this purpose: (i) any shares of restricted Common Stock, performance shares, or restricted Common Stock units (covered by this Award Agreement or a similar award) unless and until such shares or units are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, (ii) any shares of Common Stock subject to an outstanding stock option or stock appreciation right (regardless of whether such award is vested and/or "in the money"), or (iii) any shares of Common Stock payable in respect of compensation earned but deferred prior to the time such shares are actually delivered.  For purposes of clarity, upon exercise of a stock option by the Participant, only the actual number of shares of Common Stock acquired upon such exercise and retained by the Participant shall count as Stock Ownership (i.e., any shares that are used to settle the exercise price of the option or any tax withholding requirements shall not be counted as part of the Participant's Stock Ownership).

(c)                 Waiver.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Board may, in its sole discretion, take any action with respect to the provisions of this Section 7 that does not have a material adverse effect on the rights of the Participant, including without limitation effecting a reduction (but not an increase) in the Participant's Ownership Threshold and/or waiving any of the limitations set forth in this Section 7 if it determines that such action is appropriate under the circumstances.

8.                   Stock Certificates.

(a)                 Book Entry Form.  The Corporation shall issue the shares of Restricted Stock subject to the Award either: (i) in certificate form as provided in Section 8(b) below; or (ii) in book entry form, registered in the name of the Participant with notations regarding the applicable restrictions on transfer imposed under this Award Agreement.

(b)                 Certificates to be Held by Corporation; Legend.  Any certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock that may be delivered to the Participant by the Corporation prior to vesting shall be redelivered to the Corporation to be held by the Corporation until the restrictions on such shares shall have lapsed and the shares shall thereby have become vested or the shares represented thereby have been forfeited hereunder.  Such certificates shall bear the following legend:

"The ownership of this certificate and the shares of stock evidenced hereby and any interest therein are subject to substantial restrictions on transfer under an Agreement entered into between the registered owner and Mentor Corporation.  A copy of such Agreement is on file in the office of the Secretary of Mentor Corporation."

(c)                 Delivery of Certificates Upon Vesting.  Promptly after the vesting of any shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to Section 3, the Corporation shall, as applicable, either remove the notations on any shares of Restricted Stock issued in book entry form which have vested or deliver to the Participant a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of shares of Restricted Stock which have vested (or, in either case, such lesser number of shares as may be permitted pursuant to Section 8.5 of the Plan).  The Participant (or the beneficiary or personal representative of the Participant in the event of the Participant's death or disability, as the case may be) shall deliver to the Corporation any representations or other documents or assurances required pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Plan.  The shares so delivered shall no longer be restricted shares hereunder.

(d)                 Stock Power; Power of Attorney.  Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Award Agreement, the Participant shall deliver to the Corporation an executed stock power in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, in blank, with respect to such shares.  The Participant, by acceptance of the Award, shall be deemed to appoint, and does so appoint by execution of this Award Agreement, the Corporation and each of its authorized representatives as the Participant's attorney(s)‑in‑fact to effect any transfer of unvested forfeited shares (or shares otherwise reacquired by the Corporation hereunder) to the Corporation as may be required pursuant to the Plan or this Award Agreement and to execute such documents as the Corporation or such representatives deem necessary or advisable in connection with any such transfer.

9.                   Effect of Termination of Employment or Services

(a)                 General.  Subject to earlier vesting as provided in Section 7 of the Plan and Section 9(b) hereof, if the Participant ceases to be employed by or ceases to provide services to the Corporation or a Subsidiary, the Participant's shares of Restricted Stock (and related Restricted Property as defined in Section 10 hereof) shall be forfeited to the Corporation to the extent such shares have not become vested pursuant to Section 3 upon the date the Participant's employment or services terminate (the "Severance Date"), regardless of the reason for such termination (whether with or without cause, voluntarily or involuntarily, or due to death or disability).  Upon the occurrence of any forfeiture of shares of Restricted Stock hereunder, such unvested, forfeited shares and related Restricted Property shall be automatically transferred to the Corporation, without any other action by the Participant (or the Participant's beneficiary or personal representative in the event of the Participant's death or disability, as applicable) and the Corporation shall refund the Purchase Price (if any) for such forfeited shares to the Participant (or the Participant's beneficiary or personal representative in the event of the Participant's death or disability, as applicable).  No additional consideration shall be paid by the Corporation with respect to such transfer.  No interest shall be credited with respect to nor shall any other adjustments be made to the Purchase Price for fluctuations in the fair market value of the Common Stock either before or after the transfer date (except for customary adjustments to reflect stock splits, reverse stock splits, and stock dividends).  The Corporation may exercise its powers under Section 8(d) hereof and take any other action necessary or advisable to evidence such transfer.  The Participant (or the Participant's beneficiary or personal representative in the event of the Participant's death or disability, as applicable) shall deliver any additional documents of transfer that the Corporation may request to confirm the transfer of such unvested, forfeited shares and related Restricted Property to the Corporation.

3



(b)                 Acceleration on Certain Terminations.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award Agreement or of the Plan, (i) if a Change in Control Event (which, for purposes of this Agreement, shall have the meaning set forth below and not the one assigned to it in the Plan) occurs and the Award (to the extent outstanding and not otherwise vested at the time of the Change in Control Event) does not accelerate and become fully vested upon or in connection with such event as contemplated by Section 7.2 of the Plan (and is not otherwise accelerated by the Administrator as provided in Section 7.3 of the Plan), and (ii) if, within twelve (12) months following the date of the Change in Control Event, the Participant has a Severance Date as a result of a termination by the Corporation or a Subsidiary for any reason other than for Cause or as a result of resignation by the Participant for Good Reason (as each such term is defined below), the Award (to the extent outstanding and not otherwise vested immediately prior to such termination) shall automatically become fully vested as of the Severance Date; provided, however, that if the Participant is a member of the Board at the time of the Change in Control Event and ceases to be a member of the Board for any reason within twelve (12) months following the date of the Change in Control Event (and does not otherwise continue to be employed by or provide services to the Corporation or a Subsidiary), the Award (to the extent outstanding and not otherwise vested immediately prior to such cessation of service) shall automatically become fully vested as of the Severance Date.

(c)                 Definitions.  For purposes of this Section 9, the following definitions shall apply.

(i)                   "Cause" shall have the meaning ascribed to such term or a similar term in any employment or similar agreement between the Corporation (or a Subsidiary) and the Participant then in effect that defines such term with respect to the Participant's employment by the Corporation or a Subsidiary.  In the event that there is no such agreement then in effect (or that any such agreement includes no such definition), "Cause" means (1) personal or professional misconduct by the Participant (including, but not limited to, criminal activity or gross or willful neglect of duty); (2) breach of the Participant's fiduciary duty to the Corporation; (3) conduct which threatens public health or safety, or threatens to do immediate or substantial harm to the Corporation's business or reputation; or (4) any other misconduct, deficiency, failure of performance, breach or default, reasonably capable of being remedied or corrected by the Participant.

(ii)                 "Change in Control Event" means any of the following:

            (a)            the acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act (a "Person")) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of more than 50% of either (1) the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation (the "Outstanding Company Common Stock") or (2) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the "Outstanding Company Voting Securities"); provided, however, that, for purposes of this clause (a), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change in Control Event; (A) any acquisition directly from the Corporation, (B) any acquisition by the Corporation, (C) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Corporation or any affiliate of the Corporation or a successor, or (D) any acquisition by any entity pursuant to a transaction that complies with Sections (c)(1), (2) and (3) below;

            (b)            individuals who, as of the Award Date, constitute the Board (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the Award Date whose election, or nomination for election by the Corporation's shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board (including for these purposes, the new members whose election or nomination was so approved, without counting the member and his predecessor twice) shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board;

4



            (c)            consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange or consolidation or similar corporate transaction involving the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (each, a "Business Combination"), in each case unless, following such Business Combination, (1) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities that were the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and the Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the entity resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, an entity that, as a result of such transaction, owns the Corporation or all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets directly or through one or more subsidiaries (a "Parent")) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and the Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, and (2) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors or trustees of the entity resulting from such Business Combination or a Parent were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement or of the action of the Board providing for such Business Combination; or

            (d)            approval by the shareholders of the Corporation of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation other than in the context of a transaction that does not constitute a Change in Control Event under clause (c) above.

(iii)                "Good Reason" shall have the meaning ascribed to such term or a similar term in any employment or similar agreement between the Corporation (or a Subsidiary) and the Participant then in effect that defines such term with respect to the Participant's employment by the Corporation or a Subsidiary.  In the event that there is no such agreement then in effect (or that any such agreement includes no such definition), "Good Reason" means the occurrence of any of the following without the Participant's express written consent: (1) if the Participant is a party to an employment or similar agreement with the Corporation then in effect, a significant reduction of the Participant's material duties, position or responsibilities, or the removal of the Participant from such duties, position or responsibilities, as specified in such agreement; (2) a reduction in the Participant's base salary or cash incentive bonus other than a one-time reduction of not more than ten percent (10%) that is also applied to substantially all senior executives of the Corporation; (3) a material reduction in the Participant's benefits as compared to the benefits in effect on the Award Date; (4) a requirement by the Corporation that the Participant perform a significant portion of his or her duties at a location other than the headquarters of the Corporation; or (5) a relocation of the Corporation's headquarters more than fifty (50) miles from the current location in Santa Barbara, California.

10.               Adjustments Upon Specified Events.  Upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the Corporation's stock contemplated by Section 7.1 of the Plan, the Administrator shall make adjustments if appropriate in the number and kind of securities that may become vested under the Award and in the Participant's Ownership Threshold.  If any adjustment shall be made under Section 7.1 of the Plan or an event described in Section 7.3 of the Plan shall occur and the shares of Restricted Stock are not fully vested upon such event or prior thereto, the restrictions applicable to such shares of Restricted Stock shall continue in effect with respect to any consideration or other securities (the "Restricted Property" and, for the purposes of this Award Agreement, "Restricted Stock" shall include "Restricted Property", unless the context otherwise requires) received in respect of such Restricted Stock.  Such Restricted Property shall vest at such times and in such proportion as the shares of Restricted Stock to which the Restricted Property is attributable vest, or would have vested pursuant to the terms hereof if such shares of Restricted Stock had remained outstanding.  To the extent that the Restricted Property includes any cash (other than regular cash dividends provided for in Section 5 hereof), such cash shall be invested, pursuant to policies established by the Administrator, in interest bearing, FDIC-insured (subject to applicable insurance limits) deposits of a depository institution selected by the Administrator, the earnings on which shall be added to and become a part of the Restricted Property.

5



11.               Tax Withholding.  The Corporation (or any of its Subsidiaries last employing the Participant) shall be entitled to require a cash payment by or on behalf of the Participant and/or to deduct from other compensation payable to the Participant any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect to the vesting of any Restricted Stock.  Alternatively, the Participant or other person in whom the Restricted Stock vests may irrevocably elect, in such manner and at such time or times prior to any applicable tax date as may be permitted or required under Section 8.5 of the Plan and rules established by the Administrator, to have the Corporation  withhold and reacquire shares of Restricted Stock at their fair market value at the time of vesting to satisfy any withholding obligations of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries with respect to such vesting.  Any election to have shares so held back and reacquired shall be subject to such rules and procedures, which may include prior approval of the Administrator, as the Administrator may impose, and shall not be available if the Participant makes or has made an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to such Award.

12.               Notices.  Any notice to be given under the terms of this Award Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporation at its principal office to the attention of the Secretary, and to the Participant at the Participant's last address reflected on the Corporation's payroll records.  Any notice shall be delivered in person or shall be enclosed in a properly sealed envelope, addressed as aforesaid, registered or certified, and deposited (postage and registry or certification fee prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Government.  Any such notice shall be given only when received, but if the Participant is no longer an Eligible Person, shall be deemed to have been duly given five business days after the date mailed in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.

13.               Plan.  The Award and all rights of the Participant under this Award Agreement are subject to the terms and conditions of the provisions of the Plan, incorporated herein by reference.  The Participant agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Award Agreement.  The Participant acknowledges having read and understanding the Plan, the Prospectus for the Plan, and this Award Agreement.  Unless otherwise expressly provided in other sections of this Award Agreement, provisions of the Plan that confer discretionary authority on the Board or the Administrator do not (and shall not be deemed to) create any rights in the Participant unless such rights are expressly set forth herein or are otherwise in the sole discretion of the Board or the Administrator so conferred by appropriate action of the Board or the Administrator under the Plan after the date hereof.

14.               Entire Agreement.  This Award Agreement and the Plan together constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, written or oral, of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.  The Plan and this Award Agreement may be amended pursuant to Section 8.6 of the Plan.  Such amendment must be in writing and signed by the Corporation.  The Corporation may, however, unilaterally waive any provision hereof in writing to the extent such waiver does not adversely affect the interests of the Participant hereunder, but no such waiver shall operate as or be construed to be a subsequent waiver of the same provision or a waiver of any other provision hereof.

15.               Counterparts.  This Award Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 

16.               Section Headings.  The section headings of this Award Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to alter or affect any provision hereof.

17.               Governing Law.  This Award Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota without regard to conflict of law principles thereunder.
