*Agreement and Plan of Merger*

On June 20, 2025, Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "<u>Company</u>" or "<u>Enzon</u>"), EPSC Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("<u>Merger Sub</u>"), and Viskase Companies, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("<u>Viskase</u>"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "<u>Merger Agreement</u>"). Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Viskase, with Viskase surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Enzon (the "<u>Merger</u>"). The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Following the consummation of the Merger (the "<u>Closing</u>"), it is anticipated that the combined company will operate under the name "Viskase Holdings, Inc." and will trade on the "OTCQX" tier of the OTC market of the OTC Markets Group, Inc.

The Merger Agreement has been unanimously recommended by a Special Committee of the independent directors of Enzon (the "<u>Enzon Special Committee</u>") and a Special Committee of the independent directors of Viskase and, acting upon such recommendations, has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of each of Enzon and Viskase.

The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, that on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, at the effective time of the Merger: (i) each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Viskase (the "<u>Viskase Common Stock</u>") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger (other than shares held by holders that properly exercise dissenters rights, shares held in treasury, and shares held by Enzon) will be automatically converted into the right to receive the number of shares of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "<u>Enzon Common Stock</u>"), equal to the exchange ratio as calculated under the Merger Agreement (the "<u>Merger Consideration</u>"); (ii) all shares of Viskase Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration will automatically be cancelled and will cease to exist as of the effective time of the Merger; and (iii) each share of Enzon's Series C Non-Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "<u>Series C Preferred Stock</u>"), held by affiliates of Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P. ("<u>IEH</u>") will be exchanged for Enzon Common Stock at a discount to its liquidation value based upon the 20-day volume weighted average price ("<u>VWAP</u>") of Enzon Common Stock prior to execution of the Merger Agreement; and (iv) pursuant to the terms of an exchange offer to be commenced by Enzon, each share of Series C Preferred Stock held by non-affiliates of IEH will have the right to be exchanged for shares of Enzon Common Stock at its liquidation value based upon the 20-day VWAP of Enzon Common Stock prior to execution of the Merger Agreement.

Under the exchange ratio formula in the Merger Agreement and assuming that the Series C Preferred Stock is exchanged for Enzon Common Stock in full, upon closing of the Merger, (x) the holders of Enzon Common Stock immediately prior to the closing of the Merger are expected to own approximately 2.06% of the combined company's common stock, (y) the holders of Series C Preferred Stock are expected to own approximately 13.84% of the combined company's common stock and (z) Viskase stockholders are expected to own approximately 84.1% of the combined company's common stock, subject to certain adjustments based upon the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock exchanged for Enzon Common Stock by non-affiliates of IEH and the amount of cash held by Enzon at the effective time of the Merger, and depending on the liquidation value of the Series C Preferred Stock at the date of closing of the Merger. The Chief Executive Officer of the combined company will be Timothy P. Feast, who is currently the Chief Executive Officer of Viskase. The Board of Directors of the combined company will be selected by the Board of Directors of Viskase and include Jordan Bleznick, a current member of the Enzon Board of Directors.

In connection with the Merger, Enzon intends to prepare and file a registration statement on Form S-4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "<u>SEC</u>"), in which a consent solicitation statement will be included (the "<u>Registration Statement</u>"), and seek the written consent of Enzon's stockholders with respect to certain actions, including (i) the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, and (ii) the amendment to Enzon's certificate of incorporation to change the name of the combined company to Viskase Holdings, Inc. and effect a reverse stock split of all outstanding shares of Enzon Common Stock at a reverse stock split ratio of between 1 to 2 and 1 to 100, provided that in no event shall the reverse stock split result in the total number of shares of Enzon Common Stock exceeding the number of shares of Enzon Common Stock that are currently authorized, to be effective immediately prior to the Merger (the "<u>Reverse Stock Split</u>").

The parties to the Merger Agreement have agreed to customary representations and warranties for transactions of this type. In addition, the parties to the Merger Agreement agreed to be bound by certain customary covenants for transactions of this type, including, among others, covenants with respect to the conduct of the business and operations of Enzon, Viskase and their respective subsidiaries during the period between execution of the Merger Agreement and the Closing. Enzon and Viskase make customary covenants to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions necessary to cause the conditions to Closing to be satisfied as promptly as reasonably practicable, including using their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary governmental and regulatory approvals, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Enzon has agreed to (i) redeem the rights issued pursuant to that certain Section 382 Rights Agreement dated as of August 14, 2020, as amended, by and between Enzon and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the "<u>382 Rights Agreement</u>") in accordance with the terms of the 382 Rights Agreement and (ii) terminate the 382 Rights Agreement prior to the Closing.

The Closing is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including, among other things: (i) the required approvals by the parties' stockholders; (ii) the accuracy of the parties' representations and warranties, subject to certain "materiality" and "material adverse effect" qualifications; (iii) compliance by the parties in all material respects with their respective covenants; (iv) no law or order making the Merger illegal or otherwise prohibiting consummation of the Merger; (v) the shares of Enzon Common Stock to be issued in the Merger having been approved for listing (subject to official notice of issuance) on the OTC market of the OTC Markets Group, Inc.; (vi) the Registration Statement having become effective in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "<u>Securities Act</u>"); (vii) the consummation of the Reverse Stock Split; (viii) dissenters' rights not having been exercised by Viskase stockholders representing more than three percent (3%) of the outstanding shares of Viskase Common Stock; (viii) Enzon having a minimum amount of cash at Closing as calculated under the Merger Agreement; and (ix) any waiting period applicable to the Merger under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, shall have expired or been terminated.

Under the Merger Agreement, Enzon has agreed not to: (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly facilitate any inquiry or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Enzon Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement); (ii) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any other person any non-public information in connection with an actual or potential Enzon Acquisition Proposal, subject to certain exceptions; or (iii) enter into an Enzon Acquisition Proposal. However, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Enzon Board of Directors (acting on the recommendation of the Enzon Special Committee) is permitted to take certain actions which may, as more fully described in the Merger Agreement, include, prior to the Enzon stockholders' adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the other transactions contemplated thereby, changing the Enzon Board of Directors' recommendation in response to an Enzon Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or Enzon Intervening Event (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or terminating the Merger Agreement and entering into an Enzon Superior Proposal.

The Merger Agreement contains certain customary termination rights, including, among others: (i) the mutual written consent of Enzon and Viskase to terminate the Merger Agreement; (ii) if the Closing does not occur on or prior to 11:59 p.m. on December 31, 2025; (iii) the right of either party, if a court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental body issues a final and non-appealable order, decree or ruling, or has taken any other action, having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger and related transactions; (iv) the right of Viskase to terminate the Merger Agreement if Enzon's board of directors changes or withdraws its recommendation in favor of the Merger and the related transactions; (v) the right of Enzon, subject to certain conditions, if Enzon terminates in the Merger Agreement in connection with an Enzon Superior Proposal; (vi) the right of either party to terminate the Merger Agreement due to a material breach by the other party of any of its representations, warranties or covenants which would result in the closing conditions not being satisfied, subject to certain conditions; and (vii) the right of Enzon to terminate because Viskase fails to obtain the written consent of its stockholders to the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, within twenty four (24) hours of execution of the Merger Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, (i) Enzon will pay Viskase a termination fee of $1.0 million if (A) Viskase terminates the Merger Agreement in certain circumstances, including a termination in connection with a change in recommendation by the Enzon board of directors, or (B) Enzon terminates the Merger Agreement in connection with a superior offer, and (ii) Viskase will pay Enzon a termination fee of $1.0 million if Enzon terminates the Merger Agreement as a result of Viskase failing to obtain the written consent of its stockholders within twenty four (24) hours of execution of the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement has been included solely to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, Viskase or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made by the parties thereto only for purposes of the Merger Agreement and as of specific dates as set forth therein; were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement; may be subject to exceptions, qualifications and limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement; may have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts; and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors or security holders. Investors and security holders should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company, Viskase or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company's public disclosures.

The Merger Agreement should not be read alone, but should instead be read in conjunction with the other information regarding the Merger Agreement, the Merger, the Company, Viskase, and the other parties to the Merger Agreement and their respective affiliates and their respective businesses, that will be contained in, or incorporated by reference into, the Registration Statement as well as in the Forms 10-K, Forms 10-Q and other filings that Enzon has made or will make with the SEC.

The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

*IEH Support Agreement*

 

In connection with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, IEH and certain of its affiliates entered into a support agreement (the "<u>IEH Support Agreement</u>") with Enzon and Viskase, pursuant to which IEH and certain of its affiliates agreed (among other things) to, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (i) deliver or cause the delivery of written consents with respect to all of the issued and outstanding shares of Enzon Common Stock held by IEH and its affiliates approving the Merger and the amendment to Enzon's certificate of incorporation, and (ii) immediately prior to the Closing, exchange each issued and outstanding share of Enzon Series C Preferred Stock held by IEH and its affiliates for shares of Enzon Common Stock at a discount to its liquidation value based upon the 20-day VWAP of Enzon Common Stock prior to execution of the Merger Agreement.

The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the IEH Support Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

**Article I**<br> **The Merger**

**Section 1.1** **The Merger**. Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction or valid waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub will merge with and into Viskase, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and Viskase shall continue as the surviving corporation (the "<u>Surviving Company</u>") and a wholly owned subsidiary of Enzon. Promptly after the Merger, Enzon shall cause the conversion of the Surviving Company into a limited liability company under Section 266 of the DGCL and Section 18-214 of the Delaware LLC Act (the "<u>Surviving Company Conversion</u>").

**Section 1.2** **Closing**. The closing of the Merger (the "<u>Closing</u>") shall take place at 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the third (3rd) Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) of the conditions set forth in <u>Article VIII</u> (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waiver of such conditions). The Closing shall take place virtually by the electronic exchange of documents, unless another time, date or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the "<u>Closing Date</u>."

**Section 1.3** **Effective Time**. Subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date, the parties will cause the Merger to be consummated by filing all necessary documentation, including a certificate of merger (the "<u>Certificate of Merger</u>") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the "<u>Secretary of State</u>"), in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with, the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective either upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State or at such later effective time as may be agreed in writing by Enzon, Merger Sub and Viskase and stated in the Certificate of Merger (such time as the Merger becomes effective, the "<u>Effective Time</u>").

**Section 1.4** **Effects of the Merger**. The effects of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all of the assets, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Viskase and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Company, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Viskase and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Company, and the separate legal existence of Merger Sub shall cease, all as provided under the DGCL.

**Section 1.5** **Constituent Documents**. At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of Viskase as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as set forth in <u>Exhibit C</u> to this Agreement and, as so amended and restated, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Company until thereafter amended as provided therein or as provided by applicable Law. The parties shall take all necessary action so that, at the Effective Time, the by-laws of Viskase as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be amended and restated in their entirety to read as the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time until thereafter amended as provided therein, by the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Company or as provided by applicable Law. The parties hereto shall also take all actions necessary such that, in connection with and promptly following the Surviving Company Conversion, the certificate of formation and the limited liability company agreement of the Surviving Company shall be as set forth on <u>Exhibit D</u>.

**Section 1.6** **Directors and Officers**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Directors</u>. The parties hereto shall take all actions necessary such that, as of the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of Enzon and the Surviving Company shall be comprised of (i) individuals designated by the Viskase Board of Directors prior to the Effective Time and (ii) Jordan Bleznick. Each such director shall hold office until his or her respective successor is duly elected or appointed and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the governing documents of Enzon or the Surviving Company, as applicable, and applicable Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Officers</u>. The parties hereto shall take all actions necessary such that, as of the Effective Time, the officers of Viskase immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of Enzon and the Surviving Company, in each case, until his or her respective successor is duly elected or appointed and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the governing documents of Enzon or the Surviving Company, as applicable, and applicable Law.

**Section 1.7** **Conversion of Viskase Common Stock.** At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Enzon, Merger Sub, Viskase, or the holder of any securities of Enzon or Viskase:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each share of Viskase Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, except for shares of Viskase Common Stock held by Viskase as treasury shares, or owned by Enzon, Merger Sub or a wholly owned Subsidiary of Viskase, Enzon or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time (the "<u>Cancelled Shares</u>") and Dissenting Viskase Shares (as defined herein), shall automatically be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Enzon Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (such shares, the "<u>Merger Consideration</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) All of the shares of Viskase Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this <u>Article I</u> shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist as of the Effective Time, and each Certificate or Book-Entry Share previously representing any such shares of Viskase Common Stock shall thereafter represent only the right to receive (i) the Merger Consideration, (ii) cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares of Enzon Common Stock in accordance with <u>Section 2.5</u>, without any interest thereon (which cash paid in lieu of fractional shares, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, not reduce the amount of cash on hand at Enzon for purposes of determining whether the Minimum Cash Condition has been satisfied and any shortfall thereof), and (iii) any dividends or distributions which the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to <u>Section 2.3</u>, without any interest thereon. If, prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Viskase Common Stock or Enzon Common Stock shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or other similar change in capitalization, or there shall be any extraordinary dividend or distribution, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the Exchange Ratio to give Enzon and the holders of Viskase Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; <u>provided</u>, that (A) the Exchange Ratio takes into account the consummation of the IEH Share Exchange, the Series C Exchange Offer and the Reverse Stock Split, and no such adjustment to the Exchange Ratio shall occur as a result thereof and (B) nothing contained in this sentence shall be construed to permit Viskase or Enzon to take any action with respect to its securities or otherwise that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) All Cancelled Shares issued and/or outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically cancelled and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

**Section 1.8** **Merger Sub Common Stock**. At the Effective Time, each share of Merger Sub Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into and become one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Company.

**Article II** **<br> Exchange of Certificates**

**Section 2.1** **Exchange Fund**. Immediately prior to or substantially concurrently with the Effective Time, Enzon shall deposit with a nationally recognized bank or trust company (the "<u>Exchange Agent</u>") designated by Enzon, which bank or trust company shall be reasonably satisfactory to Viskase, uncertificated, book-entry shares representing the number of shares of Enzon Common Stock sufficient to deliver the aggregate Merger Consideration. Enzon agrees to and shall make available to the Exchange Agent, immediately prior to the Effective Time and from time to time thereafter as needed, cash sufficient to pay any dividends and other distributions pursuant to <u>Section 2.3</u> and to make payments in lieu of any fraction of a share of Enzon Common Stock pursuant to <u>Section 2.5</u>; provided that any such cash made available to the Exchange Agent for such purposes shall be counted as cash of Enzon for purposes of determining whether the Minimum Cash Condition has been satisfied and any shortfall thereof. Any cash and uncertificated, book-entry shares of Enzon Common Stock deposited with the Exchange Agent shall hereinafter be referred to as the "<u>Exchange Fund</u>." Notwithstanding the foregoing, Enzon shall not be required to make available to the Exchange Agent any Merger Consideration or cash in respect of dividends and other distributions pursuant to <u>Section 2.3</u> or cash in lieu of any fraction of a share pursuant to <u>Section 2.5</u> for any Dissenting Viskase Shares until such time as the holder thereof has failed to perfect or otherwise failed to comply with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL or shall have effectively withdrawn, waived or lost its or their rights to appraisal of such Dissenting Viskase Shares under Section 262 of the DGCL or a court of competent jurisdiction determined that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL. No interest will be paid or will accrue on any cash payable pursuant to <u>Section 2.3</u> or <u>Section 2.5</u>.

**Section 2.2** **Exchange Procedures**. (a) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time and in any event not later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, Enzon shall cause the Exchange Agent to send to each holder of record of shares of Viskase Common Stock whose shares of Viskase Common Stock were converted pursuant to <u>Section 1.7</u> (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that risk of loss and title to any shares evidenced by Certificates or any Book-Entry Shares shall pass, only upon (A) with respect to shares evidenced by Certificates, proper delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof in accordance with <u>Section 2.8</u>) and (B) with respect to Book-Entry Shares, upon proper delivery of any "agent's message" regarding the book-entry transfer of such Book-Entry Shares (or such other evidence, if any, of the transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request), as applicable, to the Exchange Agent and shall be in a form and have such other provisions as Enzon and Viskase may reasonably specify) (the "<u>Letter of Transmittal</u>") and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Upon surrender of a Certificate (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof in accordance with <u>Section 2.8</u>) or Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent together with a Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, Enzon shall cause the Exchange Agent to, as promptly as practicable and in any event not later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, (i) credit to the surrendering holder of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof in accordance with <u>Section 2.8</u>) or Book-Entry Shares in the stock ledger and other appropriate books and records of Enzon the number of shares of Enzon Common Stock into which the shares represented by such Certificate or such Book-Entry Shares have been converted pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) pay and deliver by wire transfer or check the amount of any dividends or other distributions to which such holder of Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof in accordance with <u>Section 2.8</u>) or Book-Entry Shares become entitled in accordance with <u>Section 2.3</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In the event of a transfer of ownership of Viskase Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of Viskase, Enzon may cause the Exchange Agent to credit any shares of Enzon Common Stock to be credited upon, and pay any cash to be paid upon, due surrender of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares to such a transferee only if such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that any applicable stock transfer or similar Taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Until surrendered as contemplated by this <u>Section 2.2</u>, each Certificate and Book-Entry Share shall at any time after the Effective Time represent, upon such surrender, the applicable Merger Consideration into which the shares represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share have been converted pursuant to this Agreement and the right to receive cash in lieu of fractional shares of Enzon Common Stock under <u>Section 2.5</u> and any dividends or other distributions to which the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share becomes entitled in accordance with <u>Section 2.3</u>.

**Section 2.3** **Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares**. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to shares of Enzon Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Shares until such holder shall surrender such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof in accordance with <u>Section 2.8</u>) or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with <u>Section 2.2</u>. Subject to escheat, Tax or other applicable Law, following surrender of any such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof in accordance with <u>Section 2.8</u>) or Book-Entry Shares, such holder thereof shall be paid (a) promptly after such surrender, any such dividends or distributions, without interest, with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to the Enzon Common Stock into which the shares represented by such Certificate or such Book-Entry Shares have been converted pursuant to this Agreement and (b) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of any dividends or distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to the Enzon Common Stock into which the shares represented by such Certificate or such Book-Entry Shares have been converted pursuant to this Agreement.

**Section 2.4** **No Further Ownership Rights**. The shares of Enzon Common Stock issued and cash paid upon conversion of shares of Viskase Common Stock in accordance with the terms of <u>Article I</u> and this <u>Article II</u> (including any cash paid pursuant to <u>Section 2.3</u> and <u>Section 2.5</u>) shall be deemed to have been delivered or paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Viskase Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, (a) all holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of Viskase, other than the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration, cash in lieu of fractional shares under <u>Section 2.5</u> and any dividends or other distributions to which the holders of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares become entitled in accordance with <u>Section 2.3</u>, in each case without interest, and (b) the stock transfer books of Viskase shall be closed with respect to all shares of Viskase Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of Viskase of shares of Viskase Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares formerly representing shares of Viskase Common Stock are presented to the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent for any reason, such Certificates, or Book-Entry Shares (as applicable) shall be cancelled, and their holders shall be credited shares of Enzon Common Stock as provided in this <u>Article II</u>.

**Section 2.5** **No Fractional Shares of Enzon Common Stock**. No fractional shares of Enzon Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of shares of Viskase Common Stock pursuant to <u>Section 1.7</u>, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Enzon. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of Viskase Common Stock converted pursuant to <u>Section 1.7</u> that would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Enzon Common Stock (after taking into account all shares of Viskase Common Stock evidenced by the Certificates and Book-Entry Shares delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional amount multiplied by the volume weighted averages of the trading prices of Enzon Common Stock on the "OTCQX tier" of the OTC market of the OTC Markets Group, Inc. ("<u>OTC</u>") (as reported by Bloomberg or, if not reported thereby, in another authoritative source mutually selected by Enzon and Viskase) on the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on (and including) the Trading Day that is two (2) Trading Days prior to the date of the Effective Time, rounded down to the nearest penny.

**Section 2.6** **Termination of Exchange Fund**. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of shares of Viskase Common Stock for 180 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Enzon or otherwise on the instruction of Enzon, and any holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares that have not theretofore complied with this <u>Article II</u> shall thereafter look only to Enzon (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) as general creditors thereof for the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Viskase Common Stock formerly represented thereby to which such holders are entitled pursuant to <u>Section 1.7</u>, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Enzon Common Stock under <u>Section 2.5</u> and any dividends or distributions with respect to shares of Enzon Common Stock to which such holders are entitled pursuant to <u>Section 2.3</u>.

**Section 2.7** **No Liability**. None of Enzon, Viskase, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any Merger Consideration or portion of the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares as of the second (2nd) anniversary of the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which the Exchange Fund would otherwise escheat to, or become the property of, any Governmental Entity) shall, to the extent permissible by applicable Law, become the property of Enzon, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

**Section 2.8** **Lost Certificates**. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Enzon, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Enzon may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate or other documentation (including an indemnity in customary form) reasonably requested by Enzon, the Exchange Agent (or, after dissolution of the Exchange Fund, Enzon) will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Viskase Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares of Enzon Common Stock to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to <u>Section 2.5</u> and any unpaid dividends and distributions on shares of Enzon Common Stock deliverable in respect thereof, pursuant to this Agreement.

**Section 2.9** **Dissenting Shares**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, all shares of Viskase Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by the stockholders of Viskase who have not voted in favor of the adoption of this Agreement (or consented thereto in writing) and who shall have properly demanded appraisal of such shares of Viskase Common Stock in accordance with, and who have otherwise complied in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL and, as of the Effective Time, have neither effectively withdrawn nor lost their rights to such appraisal under the DGCL (collectively, "<u>Dissenting Viskase Shares</u>") shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. The holders of Dissenting Viskase Shares shall instead be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such Dissenting Viskase Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, unless and until such holder of Dissenting Viskase Shares fails to perfect or otherwise fails to comply with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, or has effectively withdrawn or waives or otherwise loses their rights to appraisal of such Dissenting Viskase Shares under such Section 262 of the DGCL or a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL. If any holder of Dissenting Viskase Shares fails to perfect or otherwise fails to comply with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL or effectively withdraws or waives or otherwise loses such right to appraisal of such Dissenting Viskase Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such Dissenting Viskase Shares shall be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the Viskase Common Stock in the manner provided in this <u>Article II</u>, and shall not thereafter be deemed to be Dissenting Viskase Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Viskase shall give Enzon prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by Viskase, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to Delaware Law and received by Viskase in respect of Dissenting Viskase Shares. Viskase shall control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under Delaware Law in respect of Dissenting Viskase Shares. Viskase shall not, except with the prior written consent of Enzon, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, or settle or offer to settle any such demands for payment, in respect of Dissenting Viskase Shares.

**Section 2.10** **Withholding Rights**. Each of Enzon, Viskase, the Surviving Company and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld under applicable Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and, if required, paid over to the relevant Governmental Entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

**Section 2.11** **Further Assurances**. If at any time before or after the Effective Time, Enzon, Viskase or the Surviving Company reasonably believes that any further instruments, deeds, assignments or assurances are reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the Merger or to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement at or after the Effective Time, then Enzon, Merger Sub, Viskase, the Surviving Company and their respective officers and directors or managers shall execute and deliver all such proper instruments, deeds, assignments or assurances and do all other things reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the Merger and to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

**Article III** **<br> Representations and Warranties of Viskase**

Except as expressly disclosed in the Viskase OTC Documents filed with or furnished by Viskase pursuant to the disclosure guidelines of OTC and publicly available after January 1, 2023, and prior to the date of this Agreement (other than any forward-looking statements, or other statements that are similarly predictive or forward-looking in nature, contained in such Viskase OTC Documents), or in the Viskase Disclosure Letter, Viskase hereby represents and warrants to Enzon as follows:

Viskase is duly licensed or qualified to do business and is in good standing (where such concept is recognized under applicable Law) in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the character or location of the properties and assets owned or leased by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed, qualified or in good standing has not had or would not reasonably be expected to have a Viskase Material Adverse Effect. True and complete copies of the Viskase Organizational Documents have been provided to Enzon prior to the execution of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each of Viskase's Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (where such concept is recognized under applicable Law) under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority necessary to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, and is duly licensed or qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the character or location of the properties and assets owned or leased by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so organized, existing, qualified, licensed and in good standing has not had or would not reasonably be expected to have a Viskase Material Adverse Effect. True and complete copies of the articles of incorporation, bylaws, operating (or equivalent governing documents) of each Viskase Subsidiary that would constitute a "significant subsidiary" within the meaning of Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X of the Exchange Act have been provided to Enzon prior to execution of this Agreement.

**Section 3.2** **Capitalization**. (a) The authorized capital stock of Viskase consists of 150,000,000 shares of Viskase Common Stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "<u>Viskase Preferred Stock</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) As of the Viskase Capitalization Date, no shares of capital stock of Viskase are issued and outstanding and Viskase does not have outstanding, and there are not, any securities convertible into or exchangeable for any shares of capital stock of Viskase, any rights to subscribe for or to purchase or any options for the purchase of, or any agreements providing for the issuance (contingent or otherwise) of, or any warrants, calls, commitments or known claims of any other character relating to the issuance of, any capital stock of Viskase, or any stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for any capital stock of Viskase; and Viskase is not subject to any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to repurchase or otherwise acquire or retire, or to register under the Securities Act, any shares of capital stock of Viskase. Viskase does not have outstanding any bonds, debentures, notes or other obligations the holders of which have the right to vote (or are convertible into or exercisable for securities having the right to vote) with the stockholders of Viskase on any matter. As of the Viskase Capitalization Date, there are no outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, "phantom" stock rights, performance units or other compensatory rights or awards (in each case, issued by Viskase or any of its Subsidiaries), that are convertible into or exercisable for a share of Viskase Common Stock on a deferred basis or otherwise or other rights that are linked to, or based upon, the value of Viskase Common Stock. There are no shareholder agreements, voting trusts, registration rights agreements, subscription agreements or other agreements, commitments or understandings to which Viskase, or any Viskase Subsidiary is a party with respect to the shares of capital stock or other equity interests of Viskase or any Viskase Subsidiary.

The execution, delivery and performance by Viskase of this Agreement, and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, have been duly authorized by its Board of Directors and, except for obtaining the Viskase Stockholder Approval and filing the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State pursuant to the DGCL, no other corporate action on the part of Viskase is necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by Viskase of this Agreement and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Viskase and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the other parties hereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Viskase, enforceable against Viskase in accordance with its terms, except that such enforceability (i) may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws of general application affecting or relating to the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (ii) is subject to general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity (the "<u>Bankruptcy and Equity Exception</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Viskase Special Committee, at a meeting duly called and held, unanimously (i) determined that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are fair to, and in the best interests of Viskase and Viskase's stockholders, other than IEH and its Affiliates, and declared it advisable, that Viskase enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) adopted resolutions making the Viskase Special Committee Recommendation, which resolutions have not been subsequently withdrawn or modified in a manner adverse to Enzon, and (iii) directed that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby be submitted to the stockholders of Viskase entitled to vote for adoption.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The only approval of holders of any class or series of capital stock of Viskase necessary to adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger is the affirmative vote (in person, by proxy or by written consent) of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Viskase Common Stock (the "<u>Viskase Stockholder Approval</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Viskase, nor the consummation by Viskase of the Merger, nor performance or compliance by Viskase with any of the terms or provisions hereof, will (i) subject to the receipt of the Viskase Stockholder Approval, conflict with or violate any provision (A) of the Viskase Organizational Documents or (B) of the similar organizational documents of any of Viskase's Subsidiaries or (ii) assuming the authorizations, consents and approvals referred to in <u>Section 3.4</u> and the Viskase Stockholder Approval are obtained prior to the Effective Time and the filings referred to in <u>Section 3.4</u> are made and any waiting periods thereunder have terminated or expired prior to the Effective Time, (x) violate any Law or Order applicable to Viskase or any of its Subsidiaries or (y) except as set forth in <u>Section 3.3(e)</u> of the Viskase Disclosure Letter, violate or constitute a breach of or default under, any of the terms or provisions of any material loan or credit agreement, indenture, debenture, note, bond, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, sublease, license, contract or other agreement (each, a "<u>Contract</u>") to which Viskase or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, except, in the case of clause (i)(B) and clause (ii), as would not reasonably be expected to have a Viskase Material Adverse Effect.

The Audited Financial Statements and Unaudited Financial Statements are collectively referred to herein as the "<u>Viskase Financial Statements</u>".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Viskase and each of its Subsidiaries are, and have been since January 1, 2023, in compliance with all Laws and Orders applicable to Viskase or any of its Subsidiaries, except as have not had or would not reasonably be expected to have a Viskase Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) relates to indebtedness for borrowed money owed to a Person other than Enzon or any of its Subsidiaries, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, ordinary course trade payables and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

Each of the Enzon Material Contracts, and each Contract entered into after the date hereof that would have been an Enzon Material Contract if entered into prior to the date hereof (each a "<u>Enzon Additional Contract</u>") is (or if entered into after the date hereof, will be) valid and binding on Enzon or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be and, to the Knowledge of Enzon, each other party thereto, and is in full force and effect, except for such failures to be valid and binding or to be in full force and effect as would not reasonably be expected to have an Enzon Material Adverse Effect. Neither Enzon nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the Knowledge of Enzon, any other party is in breach of or in default under any Enzon Material Contract or Enzon Additional Contract, and no event has occurred that, with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute a default thereunder by Enzon or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, except for such breaches and defaults as would not reasonably be expected to have an Enzon Material Adverse Effect. As of the date of this Agreement, neither Enzon nor any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice (or to the Knowledge of Enzon, oral notice) alleging a breach of or default under any Enzon Material Contract.

**Section 4.17** **Insurance**. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have an Enzon Material Adverse Effect, (i) Enzon and its Subsidiaries are covered by valid and currently effective insurance policies with reputable insurers and all premiums payable under such policies have been duly paid to date and (ii) as of the date of this Agreement, none of Enzon or any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice of default or cancellation of any such policy. All material Insurance Policies maintained by or on behalf of Enzon or any of its Subsidiaries provide adequate coverage for all normal risks incident to the business of Enzon and its Subsidiaries and their respective properties and assets, except for any such failures to maintain Insurance Policies as would not reasonably be expected to have an Enzon Material Adverse Effect. Except as has not had or would not reasonably be expected to have an Enzon Material Adverse Effect, there are no pending Proceedings under the Insurance Policies with respect to Enzon or any of its Subsidiaries as to which the insurers have denied or disputed (in writing) coverage or cancelled any Insurance Policy maintained by or on behalf of Enzon or any of its Subsidiaries, or, to the Knowledge of Enzon, have threatened to deny or dispute coverage or cancel any Insurance Policy maintained by or on behalf of Enzon or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the reservation of rights letters issued in the ordinary course of business). Except as had not or would not be reasonably expected to have an Enzon Material Adverse Effect, Enzon and its Subsidiaries are, and since January 1, 2023, have been, in compliance with their respective Insurance Policies and are not in default under any of the terms thereunder.

Other than the IEH Support Agreement, there are no voting trusts or other agreements or understandings to which Enzon or any of its Subsidiaries is a party with respect to the voting of the capital stock or other equity interest of Viskase or any of its Subsidiaries. For the avoidance of doubt, no securities owned directly by IEH or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed to be beneficially owned by Enzon or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of the IEH Support Agreement or otherwise.

**Section 4.19** **Opinion of Financial Advisors**. The Enzon Special Committee has received the opinion of A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and subject to the limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth therein, the Exchange Ratio in the Merger pursuant to this Agreement is fair from a financial point of view to Enzon. As of the date of this Agreement, such opinion has not been withdrawn, revoked or modified.

**Section 4.20** **Brokers and Other Advisors**. Except for A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, the fees and expenses of which are set forth on <u>Section 4.20</u> of the Enzon Disclosure Letter and will be paid by Enzon, no broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other Person is entitled to any broker's, finder's, financial advisor's or other similar fee or commission, or the reimbursement of expenses in connection therewith, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Enzon or any of its Subsidiaries.

**Section 4.21** **No Other Representations or Warranties**. Enzon acknowledges and agrees that, except for the representations and warranties made by Viskase in <u>Article III</u> or in any certificates delivered by Viskase in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, neither Viskase nor any other Person makes any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to Viskase or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, operations, properties, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects, or any estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information or business and strategic plan information regarding Viskase and its Subsidiaries, notwithstanding the delivery or disclosure to Enzon or any of its Representatives of any documentation, forecasts or other information (in any form or through any medium) with respect to any one or more of the foregoing, and Enzon acknowledges the foregoing. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Enzon acknowledges and agrees that neither Viskase nor any other Person makes or has made any express or implied representation or warranty to Enzon or any of its respective Representatives with respect to (a) any financial projection, forecast, estimate, budget or prospective information relating to Viskase, any of its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses or (b) except for the representations and warranties made by Viskase in <u>Article III</u> or in any certificates delivered by Viskase in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any oral, written, video, electronic or other information presented to Enzon or any of its Representatives in the course of their due diligence investigation of Viskase, the negotiation of this Agreement or the course of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Enzon acknowledges and agrees that, except for the representations and warranties contained in Article III, it is not acting in reliance on any representation or warranty, express or implied, that may have been made by any Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give to Viskase, directly or indirectly, rights to control or direct the operations of Enzon or its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date. Prior to the Closing Date, Enzon and its Subsidiaries shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision of its and its Subsidiaries' operations.

**Section 6.2** **Resignations**. Upon the written request of Viskase, Enzon shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each person identified by Viskase who is in office as a director or officer of Enzon or any of its Subsidiaries to deliver a letter of resignation to the Board of Directors of Enzon, at or prior to the Effective Time, effective as of the Effective Time, resigning from all such positions at Enzon and each of its respective Subsidiaries.

**Section 6.3** **D&O Insurance and Indemnification.** (a) For six years from and after the Effective Time, Enzon shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, indemnify and hold harmless all past and present directors, officers and managers of Enzon and its Subsidiaries and Viskase and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the "<u>Indemnified Parties</u>") against any costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) and expenses (including advancing costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) and expenses and applicable retention amounts under applicable insurance policies) prior to the final disposition of any actual or threatened claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Enzon Organizational Documents or the Viskase Organizational Documents, as applicable, and any indemnification agreements with any Indemnified Party set forth in <u>Section 6.3(a)</u> of the Enzon Disclosure Letter, judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, investigation, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative process, in respect of acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger), whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, by reason of the fact of such Indemnified Party's serving or having served as an officer, director or manager of Enzon or any of its Subsidiaries or Viskase or any of its Subsidiaries. The parties hereto agree that the foregoing rights to indemnification and advancement shall also apply with respect to any action to enforce this provision and that all rights to elimination of liability, indemnification and advancement of expenses for acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, now existing in favor of the Indemnified Parties as provided in their respective certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) or in any indemnification agreement in existence on the date of this Agreement and provided to Enzon or Viskase, as applicable, prior to the date of this Agreement shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof. Notwithstanding anything in this <u>Section 6.3</u> to the contrary, if any Indemnified Party notifies Enzon or the Surviving Company on or prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time of a matter in respect of which such Person may seek indemnification or advancement of expenses pursuant to this <u>Section 6.3</u>, the provisions of this <u>Section 6.3</u> that require Enzon and the Surviving Company to indemnify and advance expenses shall continue in effect with respect to such matter until the final disposition of all claims, actions, investigations, suits and proceedings relating thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) For six years after the Effective Time, Enzon and the Surviving Company shall cause to be maintained in effect the provisions in (i) the Enzon Organizational Documents, (ii) any indemnification agreement of Enzon or a Subsidiary of Enzon with any Indemnified Party set forth in Section 6.3(b) of the Enzon Disclosure Letter, and (iii) the Viskase Organizational Documents, except to the extent that such agreement provides for an earlier termination, in each case, regarding elimination of liability, indemnification of officers, directors and managers and advancement of expenses that are in existence on the date hereof, and no such provision shall be amended, modified or repealed in any manner that would adversely affect the rights or protections thereunder of any such Indemnified Party in respect of acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger). The obligations under this <u>Section 6.3</u> shall not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of such affected Indemnified Party and any of such Person's heirs, executors, administrators Representatives.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) At or prior to the Effective Time, Viskase (or, at Enzon's election, Enzon) shall purchase a six-year prepaid "tail" policy for the benefit of Enzon's officers and directors prior to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which Enzon and the Surviving Company shall maintain in effect for the duration of such policy, on terms and conditions providing coverage retentions, limits and other material terms substantially equivalent to the current policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by Enzon and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters arising at or prior to the Effective Time; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that Viskase shall not commit or spend on such "tail" policy, in the aggregate, more than 300% of the last aggregate annual premium paid by Enzon prior to the date hereof for Enzon's current policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance (the "<u>Base Amount</u>"), and if the cost of such "tail" policy would otherwise exceed the Base Amount, Viskase shall be permitted to purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for the Base Amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) In the event Enzon, the Surviving Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Enzon or the Surviving Company shall assume the obligations set forth in this <u>Section 6.3</u>. The rights and obligations under this <u>Section 6.3</u> shall survive consummation of the Merger and shall not be terminated or amended in a manner that is adverse to any Indemnified Party without the written consent of such Indemnified Party. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Indemnified Parties shall be third party beneficiaries of this <u>Section 6.3</u>, each of whom may enforce the provisions thereof.

**Article VII** **<br> Additional Covenants of The Parties**

**Section 7.1** **Registration Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the execution of this Agreement, (i) Enzon (with Viskase's reasonable cooperation) shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 (the "<u>Registration Statement</u>") in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of the Enzon Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Merger, which Registration Statement will also contain a consent solicitation statement with respect to the solicitation of written consents from the stockholders of Enzon in connection with the Enzon Stockholder Approval (as amended, the "<u>Consent Solicitation Statement</u>" and, together with the Registration Statement, the "<u>Registration Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement</u>"). Enzon shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (A) cause the Registration Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement to comply with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, (B) have the Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing (including by responding to comments from the SEC), and, prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement, take all action reasonably required to be taken under any applicable state securities Laws in connection with the issuance of Enzon Common Stock in the Merger and (C) keep the Registration Statement effective through the Closing Date in order to permit the consummation of the Merger. Viskase shall furnish all information as may be reasonably requested by Enzon in connection with any such action and the preparation, filing and distribution of the Registration Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement. As promptly as practicable (and in no event, no more than five (5) Business Days) after the Registration Statement shall have become effective, Enzon shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Consent Solicitation Statement to be mailed to its stockholders. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Registration Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement will be made by Enzon without providing Viskase with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment (which comments shall be considered by Enzon in good faith) thereon if reasonably practicable. If, at any time prior to the Effective Time, any information relating to Enzon or Viskase or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers, should be discovered by Enzon or Viskase which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement, so that such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other party and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be prepared and, following a reasonable opportunity for the other party (and its counsel) to review and comment on such amendment or supplement, promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated to the stockholders of Enzon. Subject to applicable Law, Enzon shall notify Viskase promptly of the time when the Registration Statement has become effective, of the issuance of any stop order or suspension of the qualification of the Enzon Common Stock issuable in the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction (in which case the parties hereto shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to have any such stop order or suspension lifted, reversed or otherwise terminated), or of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC and of any request by the SEC or the staff of the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement or for additional information and shall supply each other with copies of all correspondence between either party or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff, on the other hand, with respect to the Registration Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement or the Merger.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Enzon shall (i) seek the Enzon Stockholder Approval via written consent and (ii) take such other actions as may be necessary under applicable Law or as may be required by an applicable Order in connection with obtaining the Enzon Stockholder Approval via written consent, in each case as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Neither Viskase nor Enzon shall call or convene any meeting of its stockholders in connection with the Viskase Stockholder Approval or the Enzon Stockholder Approval, respectively. The Consent Solicitation Statement shall include the Enzon Special Committee Recommendation and the Enzon Recommendation, except to the extent there has been an Enzon Adverse Recommendation Change permitted by <u>Section 7.5</u> (in the case of the Enzon Special Committee Recommendation or the Enzon Recommendation). The only corporate actions to be set forth in the Consent Solicitation Statement will be (i) the adoption of this Agreement, (ii) the approval of the Proposed Enzon Action by the holders of Enzon Common Stock and (iii) any other matters contemplated by this Agreement that may be required to be approved by holders of Enzon Common Stock under applicable Law or as may be required by an applicable Order.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Immediately after the execution of this Agreement, in lieu of calling a meeting of the stockholders of Viskase, Viskase shall submit to, and seek and obtain, by no later than twenty-four (24) hours after the execution of this Agreement, the Viskase Stockholder Approval (the "<u>Written Consent Delivery Time</u>"). Upon receipt of the executed Viskase Stockholder Approval, Viskase shall provide to Enzon promptly (and in any event by the Written Consent Delivery Time) a copy of such Viskase Stockholder Approval. In connection with the Viskase Stockholder Approval, Viskase shall take all actions necessary or advisable to comply, and shall comply in all respects, with Section 228 and Section 262 of the DGCL and the Viskase Organizational Documents. Enzon shall furnish all information as may be reasonably requested by Viskase in connection with any such action and the preparation and distribution of the Viskase Stockholder Approval.

**Section 7.2** **Access to Information**. Upon reasonable notice, each of Enzon and Viskase shall (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to) afford the other party and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, during the period prior to the Effective Time, to all its officers, employees, properties, offices and other facilities and to all books and records, including financial statements, other financial data and monthly financial statements within the time such statements are customarily prepared, and, during such period, each of Enzon and Viskase shall (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to) furnish promptly to the other party and its Representatives, consistent with their respective legal obligations, all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as such Person may reasonably request; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that each may restrict the foregoing access to the other to the extent that, in such party's reasonable judgment, (a) providing such access would result in the waiver of any attorney-client privilege (provided that the withholding party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to allow for such access to the maximum extent that does not result in a waiver of attorney-client privilege), (b) any Law or Order of any Governmental Entity applicable to Enzon or Viskase, as applicable, requires such party or its Subsidiaries to preclude the other party and its Representatives from gaining access to any properties or information or (c) such access relates to documents or other information regarding the negotiation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party will hold any such information that is non-public in confidence to the extent required by, and in accordance with, the provisions of that certain agreement, dated January 3, 2025 (the "<u>Confidentiality Agreement</u>"), between Viskase and Enzon.

**Section 7.3** **Efforts**. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each party hereto agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other party in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, as soon as possible following the date hereof, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using commercially reasonable efforts in (a) causing each of the conditions to the Merger set forth in <u>Article VIII</u> to be satisfied as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, (b) the obtaining of all necessary actions, non-actions, waivers, consents and approvals from Governmental Entities, including the HSR approval contemplated by <u>Section 7.4</u> (the "<u>Required Consents</u>") prior to the Effective Time, and the making of all necessary registrations and filings and the taking of all steps as may be reasonably necessary to obtain a Required Consent from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Entity, (c) the obtaining of all required consents, approvals or waivers from third parties, (d) the contesting and defending of any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Entity vacated or reversed, (e) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement, (f) no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, providing reasonably detailed documentation calculating Enzon's Cash on Hand as of the Closing, and (g) refraining from taking any action that would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Merger.

**Section 7.4** **HSR Act Filing**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement (but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the date of this Agreement), each of Enzon and Viskase shall, or shall cause their ultimate parent entity as that term is defined in the HSR Act and its implementing regulations to, file with the Federal Trade Commission (the "<u>FTC</u>") and the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (the "<u>Antitrust Division</u>") a pre-merger notification in accordance with the HSR Act with respect to the Merger pursuant to this Agreement and to obtain from any Governmental Entity any consents, licenses, permits, waivers, clearances, approvals, authorizations, or waiting period expirations required to be obtained or made by Viskase, Enzon or Merger Sub under any foreign or other antitrust or related Law governing competition or prohibiting, restricting or regulating actions with the purpose or effect of monopolization, restraint of trade, or lessening of competition (collectively with the HSR Act, "<u>Antitrust Laws</u>"). Each of Enzon and Viskase shall promptly make an appropriate response to any request by the FTC, the Antitrust Division and any other requesting Governmental Entity pursuant to the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Enzon and Viskase shall cooperate fully with each other in connection with the making of all such filings or responses. In addition, except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Entity or by any applicable Law, each party hereto will reasonably consult with the other party in advance of participating in or attending any meeting or conference or engaging in any material communication, with any Governmental Entity or any official, Representative or staff thereof or such other person in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and give the other party a reasonable opportunity to attend and participate therein, and in the event one party is prohibited or unable to participate, attend or engage in any such meeting, conference or material written communication, keep such party apprised with respect thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Subject to applicable confidentiality restrictions or restrictions required by Law, Enzon and Viskase will notify the other promptly upon the receipt of (i) any material comments, questions, or requests for information or documents from any Governmental Entity in connection with any filings made pursuant to <u>Section 7.4(a)</u> or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) any material request by any Governmental Entity for amendments or supplements to any filings made pursuant to any Laws relating to an investigation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall keep each other reasonably apprised of the status of the matters addressed in this <u>Section 7.4</u>. Whenever any event occurs that is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any filing made pursuant to this <u>Section 7.4</u>, or whenever a Governmental Entity requests material information or documents related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each party hereto will promptly inform the other of such occurrence or request and cooperate in filing or producing promptly with the applicable Governmental Entity such amendment, supplement, information or documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party hereto shall provide to the other (or the other's respective advisors) copies of all material correspondence between such party and any Governmental Entity relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The parties hereto may, as they deem advisable and necessary, designate any competitively sensitive materials provided to the other under this <u>Section 7.4</u> as "outside counsel only." Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to outside counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers, or directors of the recipient without the advance written consent of the party providing such materials. In addition, to the extent reasonably practicable, all material discussions, telephone calls, and meetings with a Governmental Entity regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall include Representatives of both Enzon and Viskase. Subject to applicable Law, the parties hereto will reasonably consult in advance and cooperate with each other, 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 to any Governmental Entity regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by or on behalf of any party hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If any Proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any Antitrust Law, each of Enzon and Viskase will use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) avoid the entry of any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that would restrain, prevent or delay the Closing on or before the Termination Date; and (ii) avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Antitrust Law so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as possible (and in any event no later than the Termination Date, subject to the other terms and conditions in this Agreement); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that neither of Enzon or Viskase (x) shall be required to litigate or defend any action by a Governmental Entity to restrain the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (y) shall be required to propose or agree to any divestiture, sale, licensing, or disposition of businesses, product lines, equity holdings, technology, intellectual properties, or other assets of Viskase, Enzon, or their respective Subsidiaries, or (z) shall be required to agree to any action after the Closing that would limit Viskase's or Enzon's freedom of action with respect to, or its or their ability to operate and/or retain, one or more of the businesses, product lines, equity interests, technology, intellectual property, or other assets of Viskase, Enzon, or their respective Subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) During the period beginning on the date hereof through the date on which the condition set forth in <u>Section 8.1(g)</u> is satisfied or waived (or through the date of a termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms), each of Viskase, Enzon and Merger Sub shall not, and shall cause their controlled Affiliates not to, acquire or agree to acquire, by merging with or into or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner, any business or any corporation, partnership, association or other business organization or division thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets, if the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to, or the consummation of such acquisition, merger or consolidation could reasonably be expected to: (i) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining, any consents of any Governmental Entity necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under any Antitrust Law; (ii) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Entity seeking or entering an Order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (iii) materially increase the risk of not being able to remove any such Order on appeal or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Viskase shall develop and control the strategy for obtaining any Required Consent or approval under any Antitrust Law, including by determining the form and content of any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions, proposals, filings, agreements or other documents made or submitted by or on behalf of either party in connection with the obtaining of any Required Consents or approval under any Antitrust Law; provided that Viskase shall consult in advance with, and consider in good faith the views of, Enzon in executing all decisions and responsibilities related to all matters described in this sentence (including in connection with the overall strategy and timing, strategies and decisions that are reasonably likely to result in the extension of any waiting period under the HSR Act (including by withdrawing its filing under the HSR Act) or any other applicable Laws or entering into any agreement with any Governmental Entity or Person to delay, or otherwise not to consummate as soon as practicable, the transactions contemplated hereby). Enzon shall provide such reasonable cooperation in obtaining the Required Consents and approval under any Antitrust Laws as is requested in writing by Viskase.

**Section 7.5** **No Solicitation by Enzon**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Enzon agrees that from the date hereof until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with <u>Article IX</u>, except as expressly permitted by this <u>Section 7.5</u>, Enzon shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, and shall instruct (and cause) its and its Subsidiaries' respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (A) solicit, initiate or knowingly facilitate or encourage (including by way of furnishing non-public information) the submission of any inquiries regarding, or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Enzon Acquisition Proposal, (B) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any other Person any non-public information in connection with an actual or potential Enzon Acquisition Proposal or (C) enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement or other similar agreement constituting an Enzon Acquisition Proposal. Enzon shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives to, immediately cease any solicitation, encouragement, discussions or negotiations with any Persons that may be ongoing with respect to an Enzon Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry or proposal that may reasonably be expected to lead to an Enzon Acquisition Proposal, request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished to any Person in connection with a potential Enzon Acquisition Proposal and immediately terminate all physical and electronic dataroom access previously granted to any such Person or its Representatives. Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that the taking of any action restricted by this <u>Section 7.5(a)</u> by any Representative of Enzon or its Subsidiaries shall constitute a breach of this <u>Section 7.5(a)</u> by Enzon.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in <u>Section 7.5(a)</u> or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time prior to obtaining the Enzon Stockholder Approval, Enzon or any of its Representatives receives an Enzon Acquisition Proposal, which Enzon Acquisition Proposal did not result from any breach of this <u>Section 7.5</u>, and the Board of Directors of Enzon (acting on the recommendation of the Enzon Special Committee) or the Enzon Special Committee determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Enzon Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to an Enzon Superior Proposal, then Enzon and its Representatives (acting at the direction of the Enzon Special Committee) may (i) enter into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with the Person or group of Persons making the Enzon Acquisition Proposal and furnish pursuant to such Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement information (including non-public information) with respect to Enzon and its Subsidiaries to the Person or group of Persons who has made such Enzon Acquisition Proposal; <u>provided</u> that Enzon shall promptly provide to Viskase any material non-public information concerning Enzon or any of its Subsidiaries that is provided to any Person given such access which was not previously provided to Viskase or its Representatives and (ii) engage in or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person or group of Persons making such Enzon Acquisition Proposal and otherwise facilitate such Enzon Acquisition Proposal or assist such Person (and its Representatives) with such Enzon Acquisition Proposal (in each case, if requested by such Person).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Enzon shall notify Viskase within two (2) Business Days of receipt of an Enzon Acquisition Proposal in the event that Enzon or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their respective Representatives receives an Enzon Acquisition Proposal and, subject to applicable Law (including with respect to fiduciary duties), shall disclose to Viskase the material terms and conditions of any such Enzon Acquisition Proposal (including the consideration offered therein), and the identity of the Person or group of Persons making such Enzon Acquisition Proposal, and Enzon shall, upon the request of Viskase, keep Viskase reasonably informed of any material developments with respect to any such Enzon Acquisition Proposal (including any material changes thereto).

Except in connection with an Enzon Superior Proposal Termination, nothing in this <u>Section 7.5(d)</u> shall be deemed to modify or otherwise affect the obligation of Enzon to submit this Agreement to Enzon's stockholders and to seek the Enzon Stockholder Approval in accordance with <u>Section 7.1(b)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Nothing in this <u>Section 7.5</u> or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Board of Directors of Enzon (acting upon the recommendation of the Enzon Special Committee) or the Enzon Special Committee from (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of Enzon a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of Enzon that is required by applicable Law or stock exchange rule. In addition, it is understood and agreed that, for purposes of this Agreement, a factually accurate public statement by Enzon, solely if and to the extent required by Law in the opinion of Enzon's legal counsel, that describes Enzon's receipt of an Enzon Acquisition Proposal, the identity of the Person making such Enzon Acquisition Proposal, the material terms of such Enzon Acquisition Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto will not, in and of itself, be deemed to be (i) a withholding, withdrawal, amendment, or modification, or proposal by the Board of Directors of Enzon or the Enzon Special Committee to withhold, withdraw, amend or modify, the Enzon Recommendation or the Enzon Special Committee Recommendation (as applicable); (ii) an adoption, approval or recommendation with respect to such Enzon Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) an Enzon Adverse Recommendation Change, in each case, so long as the Board of Directors of Enzon or the Enzon Special Committee expressly reaffirms the Enzon Recommendation and the Enzon Special Committee Recommendation in such public statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this <u>Section 9.1</u> shall give written notice of such termination to the other party in accordance with <u>Section 10.7</u>, specifying the provision of this Agreement pursuant to which such termination is effected and the basis for such termination, described in reasonable detail.

**Section 9.2** **Effect of Termination**. (a) In the event of termination of this Agreement by either Viskase or Enzon as provided in <u>Section 9.1</u>, this Agreement shall terminate and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of either party to the other or any of such other party's Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives (except that the Confidentiality Agreement, this <u>Section 9.2</u> and <u>Article X</u> shall survive any such termination); <u>provided</u> that, in the event that any Enzon Termination Fee becomes due and payable to Viskase in accordance with this Agreement, the payment of such fee and any applicable expenses shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Viskase, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives, on the one hand, against Enzon or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives, on the other hand, for (i) any loss, liability or damages suffered, directly or indirectly, as a result of the failure of the Merger to be consummated, (ii) the termination of this Agreement, (iii) any liabilities or obligations arising under this Agreement, or (iv) any claims or actions or other losses arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any breach, termination or failure of or under this Agreement; <u>provided further</u> that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party from any liability or damages incurred or suffered by the other party to the extent such liability or damages were the result of or arise out of fraud or any Intentional Breach of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement occurring prior to such termination (in which case the aggrieved party shall be entitled to all rights and remedies available at law or in equity).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If (i) Viskase shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to <u>Section 9.1(d)</u> (Enzon Adverse Recommendation Change) or (ii) Enzon shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to <u>Section 9.1(e)</u> (Enzon Superior Proposal Termination), then Enzon shall pay to Viskase, not later than two (2) Business Days following such termination, an amount in cash equal to $1,000,000 (the "<u>Enzon Termination Fee</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If Enzon shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to <u>Section 9.1(h)</u> (failure of Written Consent Delivery Time), then Viskase shall pay to Enzon not later than two (2) Business Days following such termination an amount in cash equal to $1,000,000 (the "<u>Viskase Termination Fee</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If (i) Viskase or Enzon shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to <u>Section 9.1(b)</u> (Termination Date), (ii) after the date of this Agreement, an Enzon Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly disclosed or announced or shall have become publicly known (A) prior to the Termination Date (in the case of a termination pursuant to <u>Section 9.1(b)</u> (Termination Date)) or (B) prior to such termination (in the case of a termination pursuant to <u>Section 9.1(f)</u> (Enzon Breach) and (iii) (A) within 12 months following such termination (x) Enzon or any of its Subsidiaries enters into a definitive agreement with respect to an Enzon Acquisition Proposal and such Enzon Acquisition Proposal is subsequently consummated (whether during or after such 12-month period) or (y) any Enzon Acquisition Proposal is consummated or (B) within 12 months following such termination, any Person commences a tender offer or exchange offer in respect of an Enzon Acquisition Proposal that is thereafter consummated (whether during or after such 12-month period), then Enzon shall pay to Viskase, upon the earlier of the execution of the definitive agreement or consummation of the transaction, the Enzon Termination Fee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) All payments under this <u>Section 9.2</u> by Enzon or Viskase shall be made by wire transfer of cash immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the other party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Each party acknowledges that the agreements contained in this <u>Section 9.2</u> are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and are not a penalty, and that, without these agreements, the other party would not enter into this Agreement. If a party fails to pay promptly the amounts due pursuant to this <u>Section 9.2</u>, such party will also pay to the other party's reasonable costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) in connection with any action, including the filing of any lawsuit or other legal action, taken to collect payment of such overdue amount, together with interest on the unpaid amount under this <u>Section 9.2</u>, accruing from its due date, at an interest rate per annum equal to two percentage points in excess of the prime rate quoted by *The Wall Street Journal* in effect on the date such payment was required to be made. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall a party be required to pay or cause to be paid the Enzon Termination Fee or the Viskase Termination Fee, as applicable, more than once. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the Enzon Termination Fee and the Viskase Termination Fee are not intended to be a penalty, but rather are liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the applicable party in the circumstances in which such termination fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Merger, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

**Section 9.3** **Amendment**. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto, at any time before or after receipt of the Enzon Stockholder Approval or the Viskase Stockholder Approval, but, after any such approval, no amendment shall be made which by Law requires further approval by such stockholders, without approval by such stockholders. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

**Section 9.4** **Waiver**. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party. The failure or delay of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of those rights, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder.

**Article X** **<br> Miscellaneous**

**Section 10.1** **Non-Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements**. None of the representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time, except for those covenants and agreements contained herein and therein that by their terms contemplate performance in whole or in part after the Effective Time.

**Section 10.2** **Disclosure Letters**. The inclusion of any information in the Disclosure Letters accompanying this Agreement will not be deemed an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself, solely by virtue of the inclusion of such information in such Disclosure Letter, that such information or any similar information is required to be listed in such Disclosure Letter or that such information or any similar information is material to any party or the conduct of the business of any party. Disclosure in any section of a Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be disclosed with respect to any other section of this Agreement only to the extent that it is reasonably apparent from the content and context of such disclosure that it is applicable to such other section notwithstanding the omission of a reference or cross reference thereto.

**Section 10.3** **Successors and Assigns**. No party hereto shall assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party hereto and any such attempted assignment without such prior written consent shall be void and of no force and effect.

**Section 10.4** **Governing Law: Jurisdiction: Specific Performance**. (a) This Agreement shall be construed, performed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by the other party(ies) hereto or its successors or assigns shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware, or in the event (but only in the event) that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such action or proceeding, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the courts set forth in this paragraph and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than such courts. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts, (ii) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any claim that (A) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (B) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (C) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each of Enzon and Viskase agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each of the parties hereto hereby consents to the service of process in accordance with <u>Section 10.7</u>; <u>provided</u>, that nothing herein shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other matter permitted by Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) EACH PARTY HEREBY ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (III) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION <u>10.4(b)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed, or were threatened not to be performed, in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is hereby waived. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement (in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative, except, in each case, as may be limited by <u>Section 9.2</u>). Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any such remedy are waived. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any person at law or in equity.

**Section 10.5** **Expenses**. All fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger including all legal, accounting, financial advisory, consulting and all other fees and expenses of third parties incurred by a party in connection with the negotiation and effectuation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be the obligation of the respective party incurring such fees and expenses, except (a) Enzon and Viskase shall each bear and pay one-half of the expenses incurred in connection with filing fees related to the Merger and this Agreement under the HSR Act, (b) Viskase shall bear and pay all expenses incurred in connection with any other applicable Antitrust Laws and (c) Viskase shall bear and pay all transfer, documentary, sales, use, real property, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes related to the Merger and this Agreement, and (d) as provided in <u>Section 9.2</u>.

(a) In the event that any part of this Agreement is declared by any court or other judicial or administrative body to be null, void or unenforceable, all of the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, with no effect on the validity or enforceability of such other provisions. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (i) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (ii) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application of such provision, in any other jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.

If, upon aggregating all of the shares of Common Stock held by a holder of Common Stock immediately following the Reverse Split such holder would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock, the Corporation shall pay in cash (without interest) to each such holder an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the closing price of the Common Stock on the OTCQX, or such other market or exchange as such shares of Common Stock may then be traded, on the last trading day immediately preceding the Effective Time (with such closing price proportionately adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Split).

Each stock certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, from and after the Effective time, automatically and without the necessity of presenting the same for exchange, represent that number of whole shares of Common Stock after the Effective Time into which the shares formerly represented by such certificate have been reclassified, as well as the right to receive cash in in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock to which such holder may be entitled; *provided*, *however*, that each person of record holding a certificate that represented shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall receive, upon surrender of such certificate, a new certificate evidencing and representing the number of whole shares of Common Stock after the Effective Time into which the shares of Common Stock formerly represented by such certificate shall have been reclassified, as well as the right to receive cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock to which such holder may be entitled."

**FIFTH:** Resolutions were duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation setting forth this proposed Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation and declaring said amendment to be advisable and calling for the consideration and approval thereof at a meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation. Pursuant to the resolution of the Board of Directors, a meeting of the stockholders of the Company was duly called and held upon notice in accordance with Section 222 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware at which meeting the necessary number of shares as required by statute were voted in favor of the foregoing amendment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Tax Status</u>. The Company shall be treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, to the extent applicable, for state and local income tax purposes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Income and Deductions</u>. All items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit of the Company (including, without limitation, items not subject to federal or state income tax) shall be treated for federal and all relevant state income tax purposes as items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit of each Member.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>Member</u>. The Member's initial percentage ownership interest in the Company (the "<u>Membership Interests</u>") shall be one hundred percent (100%). Membership Interests shall not have a stated value, certificates shall not be issued evidencing Membership Interests and Membership Interests shall not have any right to distributions unless the Board shall have declared such a distribution out of funds lawfully available therefor. The Company may issue additional Membership Interests upon the approval of the Board and the Majority Unitholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>Management of the Company</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) A board of managers of the Company (the "<u>Board</u>") is hereby established and shall be comprised of natural Persons (each such Person, a "<u>Manager</u>") who shall be appointed by Members representing a majority of the outstanding Membership Interests (the "<u>Majority Unitholders</u>") and constitute the "managers" (as that term is defined in the Delaware Act) of the Company. The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed, operated, and controlled by or under the direction of the Board, and the Board shall have, and is hereby granted, the full and complete power, authority, and discretion for, on behalf of and in the name of the Company, to take such actions as it may in its sole discretion deem necessary or advisable to carry out any and all of the objectives and purposes of the Company, subject only to the terms of this Agreement. A Manager may be removed or replaced at any time from the Board, with or without cause, upon, and only upon, the written request of the Majority Unitholders. A Manager may resign at any time from the Board by delivering their written resignation to the Board. Any such resignation shall be effective upon receipt thereof unless it is specified to be effective at some other time or upon the occurrence of some other event. The Board's acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. The Board shall meet at such time and at such place as the Board may designate. Meetings of the Board may be held either in person or by means of telephone or video conference or other communications device that permits all Managers participating in the meeting to hear each other, at the offices of the Company or such other place (either within or outside the State of Delaware) as may be determined from time to time by the Board. Written notice of each meeting of the Board shall be given to each Manager at least 24 hours prior to each such meeting. A majority of the Managers serving on the Board shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business of the Board. At all times when the Board is conducting business at a meeting of the Board, a quorum of the Board must be present at such meeting. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board, then the Managers present at the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present. Each Manager shall have one vote on all matters submitted to the Board or any committee thereof. With respect to any matter before the Board, the act of a majority of the Managers constituting a quorum shall be the act of the Board. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board (or any committee of the Board) may be taken without a meeting if a written consent of a majority of the Managers on the Board (or committee) shall approve such action. Such consent shall have the same force and effect as a vote at a meeting where a quorum was present and may be stated as such in any document or instrument filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. <u>Officers</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Board may, from time to time, designate one or more officers with such titles as may be designated by the Board to act in the name of the Company with such authority as may be delegated to such officers by the Board (each such designated person, an "<u>Officer</u>"). Any such Officer shall act pursuant to such delegated authority until such Officer is removed by the Board. Any action taken by an Officer designated by the Board pursuant to authority delegated to such Officer shall constitute the act of and serve to bind the Company. Persons dealing with the Company are entitled to rely conclusively on the power and authority of any Officer set forth in this Agreement and any instrument designating such officer and the authority delegated to him or her.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) [FILER] is hereby designated as an authorized person, within the meaning of the Act, to execute, deliver and file the certificate of formation of the Company (and any amendments and/or restatements thereof) and any other certificates (and any amendments and/or restatements thereof) necessary for the Company to qualify to do business in a jurisdiction in which the Company may wish to conduct business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. <u>Dissolution</u>. The Company shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up upon the first to occur of the following: the written consent of the Board and the Majority Unitholders, the retirement, resignation, incapacity or bankruptcy of a Member or the occurrence of any other event which terminates the continued membership of a Member in the Company, or the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. <u>Distributions</u>. Distributions shall be made to the Members at the times and in the aggregate amounts determined by the Board from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. <u>Liability of the Members</u>.

The failure of the Company to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its business or affairs under this Agreement or the Act shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on the Members for any liabilities of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. <u>Exculpation</u>. No Covered Person (as defined below) shall be liable to the Company or any other Covered Person for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Covered Person in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, so long as such action or omission does not constitute fraud or willful misconduct by such Covered Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. <u>Indemnification</u>. The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the LLC Act, as amended from time to time, indemnify all persons who it may indemnify pursuant thereto. The personal liability of the Managers is hereby eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by the LLC Act, as the same may be amended or supplemented. No amendment to or repeal of this Section 16 shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liabtility of any Manager for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occuring prior to such amendment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. <u>Assignments</u>. Any Member may assign in whole or in part its limited liability company interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. <u>Resignation</u>. Any Member may resign from the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20. <u>Amendment</u>. This Agreement may be amended from time to time with the consent of the Majority Unitholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21. <u>Severability</u>. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of a provision under any circumstances, is declared to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, such provision shall survive to the extent it is not so declared, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the other provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, unless such action would substantially impair the benefits to any party of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;22. <u>Headings</u>. Headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be used in any way to interpret or construe this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;23. <u>Governing Law</u>. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed under, the laws of the State of Delaware and all rights and remedies shall be governed by such laws without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.5. <u>Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Specific Performance</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) This Agreement shall be construed, performed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by the other party(ies) hereto or its successors or assigns shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware, or in the event (but only in the event) that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such action or proceeding, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the courts set forth in this paragraph and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than such courts. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts, (ii) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any claim that (A) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (B) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (C) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each of the parties hereto hereby consents to the service of process in accordance with <u>Section 19.4</u>; <u>provided</u>, that nothing herein shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other matter permitted by Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE ANY OF SUCH WAIVERS, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (III) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS <u>SECTION 19.5</u>.

It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement (in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative, except, in each case, as may be limited by Section 9.2 of the Merger Agreement). Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any such remedy are waived. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any person at law or in equity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.6. <u>Interpretation</u>. The section and paragraph headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If any ambiguity or question of intent arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

This Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement and the exhibits and schedules hereto and thereto contain the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the matters contemplated hereby and supersede and replace all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, with regard to such matters.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.8. <u>No Third-Party Beneficiaries</u>. Except for Covered Persons under <u>Section 17</u>, who shall be express third-party beneficiaries of <u>Section 17</u>, nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer, or does confer, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any Persons other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.9. <u>Expenses</u>. All fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the obligations hereunder, including all legal, accounting, financial advisory, consulting and all other fees and expenses of third parties incurred by a party in connection with the negotiation and effectuation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be the obligation of the respective party incurring such fees and expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.10. <u>Severabilit</u>y. In the event that any part of this Agreement is declared by any court or other judicial or administrative body to be null, void or unenforceable, all of the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, with no effect on the validity or enforceability of such other provisions. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application of such provision, in any other jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.11. <u>Counterparts</u>. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, (including by facsimile, ".pdf" files or other electronic transmission) each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute the same instrument.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.12. <u>Affiliated Entities</u>. To the extent that any Controlled Affiliate of any IEH Party is a stockholder of Enzon or Viskase, such IEH Party shall cause such Controlled Affiliate to comply with all obligations under this Agreement applicable to the IEH Parties and the IEH Parties, and in furtherance of the foregoing, if any Controlled Affiliate of an IEH Party becomes a Beneficial Owner of Enzon Shares or Enzon Preferred Shares, as applicable, on or after the date hereof, (a) such IEH Party shall give each of Enzon and Viskase written notice thereof in advance of such Controlled Affiliate becoming a Beneficial Owner and (b) such Controlled Affiliate shall, and the applicable IEH Party shall cause such Controlled Affiliate to, promptly (and in advance of such Controlled Affiliate becoming a Beneficial Owner, if reasonably practicable) execute a joinder to this Agreement substantially in the form of <u>Annex I</u>, and to execute any and all documents or instruments and take such other actions required, or otherwise reasonably requested by Enzon or Viskase, to ensure that such Controlled Affiliate is subject to the obligations under this Agreement applicable to the IEH Parties and the IEH Parties and that such Enzon Shares are subject to this Agreement (<u>provided</u>, that any failure to execute such documents or instruments or take such other actions shall not affect such obligations hereunder).

***Enzon and Viskase Enter into Merger Agreement***

*Enzon and Viskase stockholders will respectively own approximately 15.9% and 84.1% of the combined company*

**Cranford, New Jersey and Lombard, Illinois**, June 20, 2025 – Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCQX: ENZN) ("<u>Enzon</u>" or the "<u>Company</u>") and Viskase Companies, Inc. (OTC Pink Limited: VKSC) ("<u>Viskase</u>") announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement (the "<u>Merger Agreement</u>"), pursuant to which Viskase will merge with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Enzon in an all-stock transaction (the "<u>Merger</u>"). Following the Merger, the combined company is expected to operate under the name "Viskase Holdings, Inc." and will trade on the "OTCQX" tier of the OTC market of the OTC Markets Group, Inc. The Chief Executive Officer of Viskase Holdings will be Timothy P. Feast, who is currently the Chief Executive Officer of Viskase.

**Additional Transaction Details**

The Merger Agreement has been unanimously recommended by a Special Committee of the independent directors of Enzon and a Special Committee of the independent directors of Viskase and, acting upon such recommendations, has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of each of Enzon and Viskase.

The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, that on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, at the effective time of the Merger: (i) each share of common stock of Viskase issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger (other than shares held by holders that properly exercise dissenters rights and shares held in treasury) shall be automatically converted into the right to receive the number of shares of common stock of Enzon ("<u>Enzon Common Stock</u>") equal to the exchange ratio as calculated under the Merger Agreement (the "<u>Merger Consideration</u>"); (ii) all shares of Viskase's common stock converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration will automatically be cancelled and will cease to exist as of the effective time of the Merger; (iii) each share of Series C Preferred Stock of Enzon ("<u>Series C Preferred Stock</u>") held by affiliates of Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P. ("<u>IEH</u>") will be exchanged for Enzon Common Stock at a discount to its liquidation value based upon the 20-day VWAP of Enzon Common Stock prior to execution of the Merger Agreement; and (iv) each share of Series C Preferred Stock held by non-affiliates of IEH will have the right to be exchanged for shares of Enzon Common Stock at its liquidation value based upon the 20-day VWAP of Enzon Common Stock prior to execution of the Merger Agreement. Assuming that the Series C Preferred Stock is exchanged for Enzon Common Stock in full, upon closing of the Merger, (x) the holders of Enzon Common Stock immediately prior to the closing of the Merger are expected to own approximately 2.06% of the combined company's common stock, (y) the holders of Series C Preferred Stock are expected to own approximately 13.84% of the combined company's common stock, and (z) Viskase stockholders are expected to own approximately 84.1% of the combined company's common stock, subject to certain adjustments based upon the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock actually exchanged by non-affiliates of IEH and the amount of cash held by Enzon at the effective time of the Merger, and depending on the liquidation value of the Series C Preferred Stock at the date of closing of the Merger.

In connection with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, IEH and certain of its affiliates entered into a support agreement with Enzon and Viskase, pursuant to which IEH and certain of its affiliates agreed to, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (i) deliver written consents with respect to all of the issued and outstanding shares of Enzon Common Stock held by IEH and its affiliates approving the Merger and (ii) exchange each share of Series C Preferred Stock held by IEH and its affiliates for shares of Enzon Common Stock immediately prior to the closing of the Merger.

The transaction is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including the approval of Viskase's and Enzon's stockholders and receipt of regulatory approvals.
