successor provisions or any similar provisions in a country in the Territory other than the United States, and shall provide Merck with a copy of such certification within five (5) days of receipt. FHTs and Mercks rights with

Merck and FoxHollow Technologies Expand

Scope of Worldwide Strategic Research Collaboration

Merck Commits More Than $100M in Funding and Acquires Stake in FoxHollow

REDWOOD CITY, C.A., and WHITEHOUSE STATION, N.J., Sept. 27, 2006
 FoxHollow Technologies, Inc. and Merck & Co., Inc., today announced that they will expand the scope of their existing strategic collaboration for atherosclerotic plaque analysis and that Merck will acquire a stake in FoxHollow with
the purchase of $95 million in common stock, subject to customary closing conditions and clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Anti-Trust Improvements Act.

Under the terms of the expanded collaboration agreement, Merck will pay $40 million to FoxHollow over four years in exchange for FoxHollows agreement to collaborate exclusively with Merck in specified disease
areas. If Merck extends the collaboration program beyond this period, to continue the exclusive collaboration arrangement, Merck would pay $10 million per year, which may be offset by potential royalty and milestone obligations.

Merck will also provide a minimum of $60 million in funding to FoxHollow over the first three years of the four year collaboration program term, for
research activities to be conducted by Fox Hollow under Mercks direction, including removal of atherosclerotic plaque from patient arteries for analysis, conduct of clinical trials and drug profiling by Merck. FoxHollow will receive milestone
payments on successful development of drug products or diagnostic tests utilizing results from the collaboration, as well as royalties.

In addition, Merck will acquire newly-issued shares of FoxHollow common stock at $29.629 per share,
representing approximately an eleven percent stake in the company. FoxHollow will appoint a Merck representative to the FoxHollow Board of Directors, increasing the size of the board to six members, and receive certain protective provisions.

Novel Collaboration Enlarged

It was
in September 2005 that FoxHollow and Merck announced the first pharmaceutical-medical device partnership aimed at identifying cardiovascular biomarkers for use as diagnostics and as tools for drug development.

The expanded collaboration remains focused on the analysis of atherosclerotic plaque collected from patients treated with FoxHollows
SilverHawk Plaque Excision System. The scope and magnitude of these studies have substantially increased and other disease areas have now been added. Merck is using these analyses of human atherosclerotic plaque as a means of identifying novel
targets to treat atherosclerosis and biomarkers to develop therapies that are in Mercks pipeline or have been licensed from other partners.

For the first time in any pharmaceutical companys history, we have the ability to capture and evaluate atherosclerotic plaque from thousands of patients, said Peter S. Kim, Ph.D., president of Merck Research Laboratories.
Our first year of collaboration with FoxHollow has given us novel insights into cardiovascular disease, and were very pleased to enlarge our relationship today to continue this focus on cardiovascular disease while including other
important disease areas as well.

The expanded collaboration will also enable FoxHollow to use human plaque analysis to enhance the
capabilities of its NightHawk intravascular plaque imaging system, and accelerate its anti-restenosis drug therapy program.

Removing and analyzing plaque from patients unlocks a tremendous amount of valuable information that informs research moving forward, said John Simpson, Ph.D., M.D., CEO of FoxHollow. Mercks expertise in
cardiovascular medicine makes it uniquely suited to partner with FoxHo llow in this work. We are proud to be working together and welcome Mercks input on our Board of Directors. We hope our collaboration will lead to the
development of novel, individualized cardiovascular therapies, noted Richard C. Pasternak, M.D., vice president of Cardiovascular Research, Merck Research Laboratories, who has worked closely with FoxHollow in the past year. We look
forward to the expansion of what has been a most productive partnership with FoxHollow.

His words were echoed by Duke Rohlen, FoxHollows president of Strategic Operations. We are
passionately committed to improving patient care through the development of innovative and effective treatments, Rohlen added. An essential part of that commitment is partnering our device expertise with Merck, an innovative leader in
cardiovascular pharmaceutical research and development.

About FoxHollow Technologies, Inc.

FoxHollow Technologies, Inc. develops and markets minimally invasive plaque excision devices for the treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD). An
estimated 12 million people in the U.S. are thought to suffer from PAD, with 2.5 million patients currently diagnosed. PAD results from plaque that accumulates in the arteries and blocks blood flow in the legs. These blockages can result
in severe pain, very limited physical mobility, and limb loss. The companys SilverHawk system is a minimally invasive method of removing the obstructive plaque and restoring blood flow to the legs and feet. For more information, please visit

agreement. Other risks and uncertainties are included under the captions, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and Risk Factors, in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q as
