     WHEREAS, Acquiror, Corvette Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Acquiror (“Acquisition Subsidiary”), and Coley Pharmaceutical Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Coley”), are, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated the date hereof (the “Merger Agreement”); and
     WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, each Stockholder is the beneficial owner (as defined under Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) of the shares of Coley Common Stock set forth under such Stockholder’s name on the signature page to this Agreement (the “Existing Shares” and, together with any Shares, options or warrants to purchase Shares or other capital stock of Coley acquired by the Stockholders after the date hereof, the “Shares”); and
     WHEREAS, as a condition to its willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Acquiror has requested that the Stockholders enter into this Agreement.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
AGREEMENTS
     1.1. Agreement to Tender. Unless this Agreement shall have previously been terminated in accordance with its terms, each Stockholder agrees to accept the Offer with respect to all the Shares (excluding for purposes of this Section 1.1 Shares that are subject to unexercised Coley Options or Coley Warrants until such time as such Coley Options or Coley Warrants are exercised) and to tender all the Shares pursuant to the Offer. Such tender shall be made within ten Business Days of the commencement of the Offer, and with respect to any Shares obtained after such date, (by way of exercise of Coley Options or Coley Warrants or otherwise, promptly after such Shares are obtained). The Stockholders shall not withdraw any Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer unless either (i) this Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 4.1 or (ii) the Offer shall have been terminated pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Acquiror or Acquisition Subsidiary shall pay Stockholders for any Shares tendered in accordance with the Merger Agreement and this Section 1.1 and not withdrawn on the date of acceptance of shares for payment pursuant to the Offer. If the Offer is terminated by Acquiror or

 


 

Acquisition Subsidiary, or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, Acquiror and Acquisition Subsidiary shall cause the depository acting on behalf of Acquiror and Acquisition Subsidiary to return all tendered Shares to the Stockholders promptly. The Stockholders agree to permit Acquiror and Acquisition Subsidiary to publish and disclose in the Offer Documents and, if approval of Coley’s stockholders is required under the Delaware General Corporate Law (“DGCL”), any Proxy Statement (including all related documents and schedules filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)), his or its identity and ownership of Shares, the nature of his or its commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement and any other information required by applicable Law.
     1.2. Agreement to Vote. From and after the date hereof and until this Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 4.1, at every meeting of the stockholders of Coley, however called, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, or in connection with any written consent of the stockholders of Coley, relating to any proposed action by the Stockholders of Coley with respect to the matters set forth in Section 1.2(b) below, each Stockholder irrevocably agrees to, with respect to any Shares not purchased in the Offer:
          (a) appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause the Shares owned beneficially or of record by the Stockholders to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum; and
          (b) unless Acquiror votes the Shares directly pursuant to the proxy granted by Section 1.3 below, vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, all the Shares owned by the Stockholders, and any other voting securities of Coley (whenever acquired), that are owned beneficially or of record by the Stockholders or as to which they have, directly or indirectly, the right to vote or direct the voting, (i) in favor of approval of the Merger Agreement and each of the other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) against any action or agreement submitted for approval of the stockholders of Coley that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of Coley contained in the Merger Agreement or of the Stockholders contained in this Agreement, (iii) against any action, agreement or transaction submitted for approval to the stockholders of Coley that would reasonably be expected to materially impede, interfere or be inconsistent with, delay, postpone, discourage or materially and adversely affect the timely consummation of the Offer or the Merger; and (iv) against any other action, agreement or transaction submitted for approval to the stockholders of Coley that would constitute an Acquisition Proposal.
     1.3. Proxy. (a) Each Stockholder by this Agreement does hereby constitute and appoint Acquiror, or any nominee of Acquiror, with full power of substitution, during and for the Proxy Term (as hereinafter defined), as such Stockholder’s true and lawful attorney and irrevocable proxy, for and in such Stockholder’s name, place and stead, to vote the Shares as such Stockholder’s proxy, at every meeting of the stockholders of Coley, however called, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, or in connection with any written consent of the stockholders of Coley, relating to any proposed action by the Stockholders of Coley with respect to the foregoing matters: (i) in favor of approval of the Merger Agreement and each of the other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) against any action or agreement submitted for approval of the stockholders of Coley that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of Coley contained in

2


 

the Merger Agreement or of the Stockholders contained in this Agreement, (iii) against any action, agreement or transaction submitted for approval to the stockholders of Coley that would reasonably be expected to materially impede, interfere or be inconsistent with, delay, postpone, discourage or materially and adversely affect the timely consummation of the Offer or the Merger; and (iv) against any other action, agreement or transaction submitted for approval to the stockholders of Coley that would constitute an Acquisition Proposal. Each Stockholder intends this proxy to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest during the Proxy Term and hereby revokes any proxy previously granted by such Stockholder with respect to the Shares. Each Stockholder acknowledges that, pursuant to the authority hereby granted under the irrevocable proxy, Acquiror may vote, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Shares in furtherance of its own interests, and Acquiror is not acting as a fiduciary for any Stockholder.
          (b) For purposes of this Agreement, “Proxy Term” means the period from the execution of this Agreement until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 4.1 hereof.
          (c) Each Stockholder agrees that the irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 1.3 shall not be terminated by any act of the Stockholder or by operation of law, whether by the death or incapacity of the Stockholder or by the occurrence of any other event or events, other than by termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 4.1 hereof. If prior to the termination of this Agreement, any Stockholder should die or become incapacitated, certificates representing the Shares shall be delivered by or on behalf of such Stockholder in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and this Agreement, and actions taken by Acquiror hereunder shall be as valid as if such death or incapacity had not occurred, regardless of whether or not Acquiror has received notice of such death or incapacity.
