On September 8, 2006, the Issuer announced its entry into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, by and among Tumbler Holdings, Inc., Tumbler Merger Corp. and the Issuer (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of September 7, 2006.  Under the Merger Agreement, among other things, Tumbler Merger Corp. is to make a tender offer (the “Offer”) to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, subject to certain conditions.

 

The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.2 to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Commission on September 8, 2006, and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety into this Item 3.

The foregoing summary of the Stockholders Support Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Stockholders Support Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.2 to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Commission on September 8, 2006 and incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 3.

Exhibit 99(b)

STOCKHOLDERS SUPPORT AGREEMENT

STOCKHOLDERS SUPPORT AGREEMENT, dated as of September 7, 2006 (this “Agreement”) by and among between TUMBLER MERGER CORP., a Delaware corporation (“Offeror”) and each of the stockholders whose names appear on the signature pages of this Agreement (each a “Major Stockholder” and, collectively, the “Major Stockholders”).

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, each Major Stockholder represents and warrants to Offeror that such Major Stockholder owns of record and beneficially and has good, valid and marketable title to, free and clear of any Lien, proxy, voting restriction, limitation on disposition, adverse claim of ownership or use or encumbrance of any kind, other than pursuant to this Agreement, and has the sole power to vote and full right, power and authority to sell, transfer and deliver, the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Company Common Stock”), of BIOLOK INTERNATIONAL INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), as set forth opposite such Major Stockholder’s name on  Exhibit A  hereto (all such shares of Company Common Stock and any shares of Company Common Stock of which ownership of record or the power to vote is hereafter acquired by the Stockholders prior to the termination of this Agreement, including shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options to purchase Company Common Stock, being referred to herein as the “Shares”); and

WHEREAS, Offeror, Tumbler Holdings, Inc. and the Company propose to enter into, simultaneously herewith, an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”; capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement), a draft of which has been made available to each Major Stockholder, which provides, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, for the merger of Offeror with and into the Company (the “Merger”);

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and in the Merger Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Stockholders hereby agree as follows:

1.  Tender of Shares. Promptly following the commencement of the Offer, each Major Stockholder hereby agrees that such Major Stockholder (a) shall tender, or cause to be tendered, to the Offeror in the Offer, as promptly as practicable, but in any event within five business days of such commencement, all of such Major Stockholder’s Shares pursuant to the terms of the Offer, and (b) shall not withdraw, or cause to be withdrawn, the tender of such Shares.

2.  Grant of Proxy. Each Major Stockholder, by this Agreement, with respect to such Major Stockholder’s Shares, hereby grants an irrevocable proxy to Offeror (and agrees to execute such documents or certificates evidencing such proxy as Offeror may reasonably request) to vote, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company, and in any action by written consent of the stockholders of the Company, all of such Major Stockholder’s Shares (a) in favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and this Agreement, (b) against any action, agreement or transaction (other than the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby) or proposal (including any Competing Proposal) that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement or that could result in any of the conditions to the Company’s obligations under the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled, and (c) in favor of any other matter necessary to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and considered and voted upon by the stockholders of the Company. Each Major Stockholder further agrees to cause such Major Stockholder’s Shares to be voted in accordance with the foregoing. THIS PROXY IS IRREVOCABLE AND COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST. Each Major Stockholder acknowledges receipt and review of a copy of the Merger Agreement.

3.  Transfer of Shares. Each Major Stockholder agrees that such Major Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) sell, assign, transfer (including by operation of law), Lien, pledge, dispose of or otherwise encumber any of the Shares or otherwise agree to do any of the foregoing, (b) deposit any Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto that is inconsistent with this Agreement, (c) enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect acquisition or sale, assignment, transfer (including by operation of law) or other disposition of any Shares, or (d) take any action that would make any representation or warranty of such Major Stockholder herein untrue or incorrect in any material respect or have the effect of preventing or disabling the Major Stockholder from performing such Major Stockholder’s obligations hereunder.

4.  Representations and Warranties of the Stockholders. Each Major Stockholder hereby severally, but not jointly, represents and warrants to Offeror as follows:

4.1  If such Major Stockholder is a corporation or other legal entity, such Major Stockholder is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation. Such Major Stockholder has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Major Stockholder and the consummation by such Major Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action, and no other proceedings on the part of such Major Stockholder are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Major Stockholder and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by Offeror and that this Agreement constitutes legal, valid and binding obligation of Offeror, constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Major Stockholder, enforceable against such Major Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally and by general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

1




4.2  The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Major Stockholder do not, and the performance of this Agreement by such Major Stockholder will not, (i) if such Major Stockholder is a corporation or other legal entity, conflict with or violate the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or equivalent organizational documents of such Major Stockholder or (ii) result in any breach of or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default) under, or give to others any right of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of a Lien or other encumbrance on any property or asset of such Major Stockholder pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation.
