(“Former PharmAthene”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged (the “Merger”) with and into Former PharmAthene. Immediately following the Merger HAQ changed its name from Healthcare Acquisition Corp. to “PharmAthene, Inc.” and Former PharmAthene, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of HAQ, changed its name to “PharmAthene US Corporation.”

As a condition to the Merger, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the security holders of Former PharmAthene upon the consummation of the Merger. Reference is made to our disclosure set forth under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K concerning the Company’s entry into the Registration Rights Agreement (defined below).

As a condition to the Merger, the Company entered into a an escrow agreement with the combined company and Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company, as escrow agent, upon the consummation of the Merger. Reference is made to our disclosure set forth under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K concerning the Company’s entry into the Escrow Agreement (defined below).

As a condition to the Merger, the Company entered into a note exchange agreement with each of the noteholders of Former PharmAthene upon the consummation of the Merger. Reference is made to our disclosure set forth under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K concerning the Company’s entry into the Note Exchange Agreement (defined below).

As a condition to the Merger, each of the stockholders, noteholders and holders of options or warrants to purchase not less than 100,000 shares of common stock of Former PharmAthene executed a lock-up agreement upon the consummation of the Merger. Reference is made to our disclosure set forth under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K concerning the Lock-Up Agreements (defined below.

The description of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Note Exchange Agreement and the Lock-up Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents which are filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

As a consequence of the Merger, the Company succeeded to a number of additional material definitive agreements entered into by Former PharmAthene. Each of these agreements has either been filed herewith or will be filed as an amendment or with the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.



Item 2.01
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
 
Completion of the PharmAthene Merger
 
On August 3, 2007, the Company consummated the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement, by and among HAQ, Merger Sub and Former PharmAthene. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into Former PharmAthene. Immediately following the Merger, the Company changed its name from Healthcare Acquisition Corp. to “PharmAthene, Inc.” and Former PharmAthene, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, changed its name to “PharmAthene US Corporation.”
 
The Company is headquartered in Annapolis, Maryland. As consideration for the Merger, the Company paid stockholders, optionholders, warrantholders and noteholders of Former PharmAthene (the “PharmAthene Security Holders”) the following consideration:
 
(i) an aggregate of 12,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Stock Consideration”), subject to possible upward adjustment if the number of shares electing conversion equals or exceeds 5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock prior to the Merger (the “Adjustment”); and
 
(ii) $12,500,000 in 8% convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”) issued by the Company (the “Note Consideration”);
 
In addition, the PharmAthene Security Holders will receive up to $10,000,000 in milestone payments contingent upon certain conditions being met. Recipients of the Stock Consideration have certain registration rights pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement, dated August 3, 2007, by and among the Company and the PharmAthene Security Holders (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Additionally, each of the stockholders, noteholders and holders of options or warrants to purchase not less than 100,000 shares of the common stock Former PharmAthene have executed a lock-up agreement (the “Lock-up Agreement”) that such person shall not sell, pledge, transfer, assign or engage in any hedging transaction with respect to the Company’s common stock issued to such stockholders as part of the Merger Consideration except in accordance with the following schedule: 50% of the Stock Consideration shall be released from the lock-up commencing six months following the effective time of the Merger and all remaining Stock Consideration shall be released from the lock-up twelve months following the effective time. The Note Consideration was allocated among the PharmAthene noteholders pursuant to a Note Exchange Agreement, dated August 3, 2007, by and among HAQ, PharmAthene and the PharmAthene noteholders (the “Note Exchange Agreement”). A portion of the Stock Consideration will be placed in escrow to be held for a period of one year for indemnification claims pursuant to an Escrow Agreement, dated August 3, 2007, by and among HAQ, PharmAthene and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agreement”). In the event of an Adjustment to the Stock Consideration payable in the Merger, the Company may issue to Former PharmAthene stockholders up an addition 337,500 shares of common stock.




The cash for the payment to the Company’s stockholders electing conversion and to Former PharmAthene stockholders in lieu of fractional shares resulting from the Merger was funded with cash held in the Company’s trust account established in connection with its initial public offering. At the Special Meeting of Stockholders held on August 2, 2007, and adjourned to August 3, 2007, 1,807,475 shares of the Company’s common stock were both voted against the proposal relating to the Merger and elected to convert such shares (the “Conversion Shares”) into a pro rata portion of the trust account maintained by the Company.
 
Prior to the Merger, HAQ was a blank check company with no operations, formed as a vehicle for an acquisition of an operating business in the healthcare industry. The following information is provided about the business and securities of the post-Merger combined company reflecting the consummation of the Merger.
 
Business
 
The business of the Company is described in our Definitive Proxy Statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 16, 2007 (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”), in the section entitled “Information About PharmAthene” beginning on page 115 and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Risk Factors
 
The risks associated with the Company’s business are described in the Definitive Proxy Statement sections entitled “Risks Related to the Business of PharmAthene” and “Legal and Regulatory Risks of Development Stage Biotechnology Companies,” beginning on page 33 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Potential Proceedings Before the Delaware Court of Chancery; Maintenance of Escrow

At the Special Meeting of Stockholders of HAQ convened in order to approve the Merger with PharmAthene, the number of shares electing conversion into cash from the trust fund was misreported to the Company. Following that misreporting, certain of the officers, directors and current stockholders of HAQ and certain stockholders of PharmAthene purchased in the aggregate an additional 400,000 shares of HAQ common stock which shares were voted in favor of the Merger, reducing the number of conversion elections and permitting consummation of the Merger. Because the number of shares requesting conversion into cash from the trust fund was initially misreported to the Company at the Special Meeting, a determination will be sought from the Delaware Chancery Court by a stockholder of the Company to affirm the validity of the stockholder vote approving the Merger. Although the Board of HAQ believed that the approval of the Merger was valid, in the event that the Delaware Court of Chancery does not affirm such validity, the Company could be required to liquidate any funds then held in trust. Under the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation of HAQ and the agreement relating to the trust, any liquidation of such funds would be made to stockholders of the Company at the time of the liquidation, as determined by the Board of Directors.

The Company intends to inform the escrow agent for its trust funds immediately to proceed with liquidating that portion of the trust fund representing the positions of those stockholders who voted against the Merger and requested conversion of their shares. The remaining funds will be held in trust pending further direction of the Board of Directors of the Company.
 


Registration Statement Relating to the Warrants
 
Under the terms of the warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) relating to the Company’s outstanding redeemable warrants (“Warrants”), the Warrants become exercisable to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $6.00 per share upon the completion of the Merger until July 27, 2009. However, HAQ’s final prospectus relating to its initial public offering indicated (i) that no Warrant would be exercisable unless at the time of exercise a prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant is current and the common stock has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the Warrant and (ii) that the Warrant may be deprived of any value and the market for the Warrant may be limited if the prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant is not current or if the common stock is not qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holder of the Warrant resides. The Warrant Agreement was subsequently amended to clarify that the registered holders do not have the right to receive a net cash settlement in the event the Company does not maintain a current prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants at the time such Warrants are exercisable. Although the Company intends to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the sale of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants following a positive resolution of the issues described above under the section entitled “Likely Proceedings Before the Delaware Court of Chancery; Maintenance of Escrow,” no such registration statement has been filed. Accordingly, the warrants may not be exercised currently and will not be exercisable until a registration statement is filed by the Company and declared effective by the SEC. Furthermore, if there is a determination that the Merger was not duly consummated, the Warrants could expire without ever being exercisable.
 
Financial Information
 
Reference is made to the disclosure set forth under Item 9.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K concerning the financial information of the Company. 
 
Properties
 
Former PharmAthene recently has relocated its corporate headquarters which, nevertheless, remain in Annapolis, Maryland and are occupied pursuant to lease. The Company has assumed this facility as its corporate headquarters.

All of the shares of common stock outstanding prior to the effective date of its IPO (all of which are owned by our directors and officers) were placed in escrow with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent, and shall remain in escrow until the earliest of:

 
·
July 28, 2008;

 
·
The liquidation of the Company; or

 
·
the consummation of a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company's stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.
 
The certificates representing shares currently in escrow may be replaced by certificates representing the shares of the renamed entity.
 
During the escrow period, the holders of these shares will not be able to sell or transfer their securities, except to their spouses and children or trusts established for their benefit, but will retain all other rights as our stockholders, including, without limitation, the right to vote their shares of common stock and the right to receive cash dividends, if declared. If dividends are declared and payable in shares of common stock, such dividends will also be placed in escrow. If the Delaware Chancery Court deems the Merger was not consummated and the Company is liquidated, none of our existing stockholders owning shares of our common stock prior to its IPO will receive any portion of the liquidation proceeds with respect to common stock owned by them prior to the date of the IPO.
 
Directors and Executive Officers
 
Information regarding the Company’s directors and executive officers is set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement, beginning on page 144 and is incorporated herein by reference.
 


Executive Compensation
 
Information regarding the Company’s executive compensation is set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement, beginning on page 147 and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
 
Information regarding related party transactions and director independence are described in the Definitive Proxy Statement, on page 151 and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
In addition, on August 2, 2007, each of John Pappajohn and Derace Schaffer purchased 100,000 shares of common stock of HAQ and Matthew Kinley purchased 50,000 shares of common stock of HAQ. In addition, Healthcare Ventures VII, L.P. and funds affiliated with MPM Capital L.P. each purchased 125,000 shares of common stock of HAQ. On August 3, 2007, each of John Pappajohn and David Wright purchased 100,000 shares and 50,000 shares, respectively, of common stock of HAQ and Healthcare Ventures VII, L.P. and funds affiliated with MPM Capital L.P. each purchased an additional 125,000 shares of common stock of HAQ.

Also, as previously disclosed, HAQ, its principal stockholders and its advisors had been contacted by third party investors (collectively, the “New Investors”) indicating to HAQ an interest in making an investment in the Company through the purchase of a significant number of shares of common stock in privately negotiated transactions with existing stockholders of HAQ but would require that, in connection with the purchases, they receive additional shares of HAQ’s common stock from the founding stockholders of HAQ and from certain stockholders of Former PharmAthene receiving shares of HAQ common stock as a result of the Merger.

HAQ’s principal stockholders and management team entered into agreements to provide the New Investors with these additional shares contingent upon the approval and consummation of the Merger and advised the New Investors that they were required to obtain the right to vote the shares to be purchased and vote any shares so purchased in favor of the proposals before the Special Meeting of Stockholders or obtain from the sellers of such shares a vote in favor of the proposals. The New Investors purchased, in the aggregate, 2,429,360 shares of common stock of HAQ.  The purchase option agreements entered into by John Pappajohn, Derace L. Schaffer M.D., Edward B. Berger, Wayne A. Schellhammer and Matthew Kinley, the founders of HAQ and its executive officers and directors prior to the Merger (collectively, the “HAQ Insiders”), and the New Investors granting the New Investors options to acquire up to 1,266,752 shares of HAQ common stock in the aggregate (which amount subject to reduction pro rata to the extent that less than 2,800,000 shares of common stock of HAQ was purchased by the New Investors); since only 2,429,360 shares of common stock were purchased by the New Investors in the aggregate, 1,099,070 shares are subject to option. The options were purchased for an aggregate purchase price of $100 and the exercise price per share is $.0001 per share. The options are not exercisable until the underlying shares are released from the escrow arrangement with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company to which the HAQ Insiders are subject which will expire on July 28, 2008, assuming the Merger is consummated. The HAQ Insiders entered into the escrow arrangement for all of their pre IPO shares in connection with the initial public offering by HAQ which was completed on July 28, 2005. The HAQ Insiders own an aggregate of 2,250,000 shares being held in escrow and own additional shares purchased pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 plans and purchased in the transactions described above which are not included in the escrow and were not sold to the New Investors. The option agreements also provide that  neither the HAQ Insiders nor the New Investors may sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise dispose of the options or the HAQ shares of common stock underlying the options while such options are subject to the escrow agreement and while the options remain exercisable. The options are exercisable commencing upon the date that the pre IPO shares are released from the escrow agreement and have a term of one year from such date.
 
The HAQ Insiders are entitled to certain registration rights for their IPO Shares, as described in HAQ’s prospectus from its IPO and in the Definitive Proxy Statement. These rights provide that the holders of the majority of these pre IPO shares will be entitled to require HAQ, on up to two occasions, to register these shares. The holders of the majority of these shares may elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after the date on which the shares of common stock are released from the escrow. In addition, the HAQ insiders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights on registration statements filed subsequent to the date on which these shares of common stock are released from escrow. HAQ will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. The New Investors, as assignees of the HAQ Insiders of the pre IPO Shares, are entitled to these registration rights.

Pursuant to an assignment agreement, Healthcare Ventures III, L.P, funds affiliated with MPM Capital L.P. and funds affiliated with Bear Stearns Health Innoventures Management, LLC, all of which were stockholders of Former PharmAthene, agreed to assign to the New Investors an aggregate of up to 479,252 shares that would otherwise be received by them as part of the Merger, assuming that the Merger is consummated. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement , the number of shares issuable to the stockholders of Former PharmAthene could be adjusted upward by up to 337,500 shares of HAQ common stock (the “Adjustment Shares”) in the event that stockholders of HAQ holding in excess of 5% of the IPO shares of HAQ vote against the Merger and seek to convert their shares. These stockholders of Former PharmAthene assigned their right to receive their pro rata portion of these Adjustment Shares (an aggregate of up to 211,797 shares) to the extent issuable under the terms of the Merger Agreement to the New Investors, as well as an additional 267,455 shares issuable to them, in the aggregate, under the Merger Agreement. The New Investors are entitled, as assignees of these Former PharmAthene stockholders, to the registration rights being granted to such stockholders under the terms of the Merger Agreement as described in the Definitive Proxy Statement. The effectiveness of the assignment is contingent upon, among other things, the consummation of the Merger. The New Investors entered into lock up agreements in form substantially similar to that executed by all other Former PharmAthene stockholders in connection with the Merger.
 
HAQ has agreed that if the shares held by the New Investors may not be sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, the Company would provide registration rights to the New Investors upon substantially the same terms as provided to the Former PharmAthene stockholders under the terms of the Merger Agreement. 
 
Information regarding beneficial ownership of shares of the Company’s common stock by each person known by us to be the owner of more than 5% of our outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock and each director and executive officer is provided above under the caption Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.

While no options, restricted stock or other awards under the Incentive Plan have been made or committed to be made to date, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, all options to purchase former PharmAthene common stock outstanding, whether vested or unvested, were assumed by the Company upon the same terms and conditions existing as to such options except that each such option was converted into an option to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock of the Company at a per-share exercise price calculated by dividing the exercise price per share of the former PharmAthene common stock at which each such option was exercisable prior to the Merger by an agreed-upon exchange ratio as specified in the Merger Agreement. All of such options, as converted, are assumed under the Incentive Plan and the Company has reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan a sufficient number of shares of common stock of the Company for delivery upon the exercise of options so assumed.

In connection with the Merger, the Company entered into an employment agreement with David P. Wright regarding his employment as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

In the event there shall be any other change in the number or kind of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or any stock or other securities into which the Common Stock shall have been changed or for which it shall have been exchanged, then if the Board shall, in its sole discretion, determine that such change equitably requires an adjustment in the shares available under and subject to the Plan, or in any Award, theretofore granted, such adjustments shall be made in accordance with such determination, except that no adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock available under the Plan or to which any Award relates that would otherwise be required shall be made unless and until such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the number of shares of Common Stock available under the Plan or to which any Award relates immediately prior to the making of such adjustment (the “Minimum Adjustment”). Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment together with other adjustments required by this Article X and not previously made would result in a Minimum Adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustment required by this Article X which otherwise would not result in a Minimum Adjustment shall be made with respect to shares of Common Stock relating to any Award immediately prior to exercise, payment or settlement of such Award. No fractional shares of Common Stock or units of other securities shall be issued pursuant to any such adjustment, and any fractions resulting from any such adjustment shall be eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the nearest whole share.
 
ARTICLE XI
 
GENERAL
 
Section 11.1 Amendment or Termination of Plan. The Board may alter, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time provided, however, that it may not, without stockholder approval, adopt any amendment which would (i) increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available under the Plan (except by operation of Article X), (ii) materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan, or (iii) materially increase the benefits to Participants provided by the Plan.
 
Section 11.2 Termination of Employment; Termination of Service. If an Eligible Employee’s employment with the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliated Entity terminates as a result of death, Disability or Retirement, the Eligible Employee (or personal representative in the case of death) shall be entitled to purchase all or any part of the shares subject to any (i) vested Incentive Stock Option for a period of up to three months from such date of termination (one year in the case of death or Disability (as defined above) in lieu of the three-month period), and (ii) vested Nonqualified Stock Option during the remaining term of the Option. If an Eligible Employee’s employment terminates for any other reason, the Eligible Employee shall be entitled to purchase all or any part of the shares subject to any vested Option for a period of up to three months from such date of termination. In no event shall any Option be exercisable past the term of the Option. The Board may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of unvested Options in the event of termination of employment of any Participant.
 
In the event a Consultant ceases to provide services to the Company or an Eligible Director terminates service as a director of the Company, the unvested portion of any Award shall be forfeited unless otherwise accelerated pursuant to the terms of the Eligible Director’s Award Agreement or by the Board. The Consultant or Eligible Director shall have a period of three years following the date he ceases to provide consulting services or ceases to be a director, as applicable, to exercise any Nonqualified Stock Options which are otherwise exercisable on his date of termination of service.
 
Section 11.3 Limited Transferability - Options. The Board may, in its discretion, authorize all or a portion of the Nonqualified Stock Options granted under this Plan to be on terms which permit transfer by the Participant to (i) the ex-spouse of the Participant pursuant to the terms of a domestic relations order, (ii) the spouse, children or grandchildren of the Participant (“Immediate Family Members”), (iii) a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of such Immediate Family Members, or (iv) a partnership or limited liability company in which such Immediate Family Members are the only partners or members. In addition, there may be no

consideration for any such transfer. The Award Agreement pursuant to which such Nonqualified Stock Options are granted expressly provide for transferability in a manner consistent with this paragraph. Subsequent transfers of transferred Nonqualified Stock Options shall be prohibited except as set forth below in this Section 11.3. Following transfer, any such Nonqualified Stock Options shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to transfer, provided that for purposes of Section 11.2 hereof the term “Participant” shall be deemed to refer to the transferee. The events of termination of employment of Section 11.2 hereof shall continue to be applied with respect to the original Participant, following which the Nonqualified Stock Options shall be exercisable by the transferee only to the extent, and for the periods specified in Section 11.2 hereof. No transfer pursuant to this Section 11.3 shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Company shall have been furnished with written notice of such transfer together with such other documents regarding the transfer as the Board shall request. With the exception of a transfer in compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.3, all other types of Awards authorized under this Plan shall be transferable only by will or the laws of descent and distribution; however, no such transfer shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Board has been furnished with written notice of such transfer and an authenticated copy of the will and/or such other evidence as the Board may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance by the transferee of the terms and conditions of such Award.
 
Section 11.4 Withholding Taxes. Unless otherwise paid by the Participant, the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliated Entities shall be entitled to deduct from any payment under the Plan, regardless of the form of such payment, the amount of all applicable income and employment taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment or may require the Participant to pay to it such tax prior to and as a condition of the making of such payment. In accordance with any applicable administrative guidelines it establishes, the Board may allow a Participant to pay the amount of taxes required by law to be withheld from an Award by (i) directing the Company to withhold from any payment of the Award a number of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of payment equal to the amount of the required withholding taxes or (ii) delivering to the Company previously owned shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of payment equal to the amount of the required withholding taxes. However, any payment made by the Participant pursuant to either of the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) shall not be permitted if it would result in an adverse accounting charge with respect to such shares used to pay such taxes unless otherwise approved by the Board.
 
Section 11.5 Change of Control. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan to the contrary, in the event of a Change of Control Event, the Board shall have the discretion to determine whether and to what extent to accelerate the vesting, exercise or payment of an Award.
 
Section 11.6 Amendments to Awards. Subject to the limitations of Article IV, such as the prohibition on repricing of Options, the Board may at any time unilaterally amend the terms of any Award Agreement, whether or not presently exercisable or vested, to the extent it deems appropriate. However, amendments which are adverse to the Participant shall require the Participant’s consent.
 
Section 11.7 Registration; Regulatory Approval. Following approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the Company as provided in Section 1.2 of the Plan, the Board, in its sole discretion, may determine to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and keep continuously effective, a Registration Statement on Form S-8 with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to Awards hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to issue shares of Common Stock under this Plan prior to the obtaining of any approval from, or satisfaction of any waiting period or other condition imposed by, any governmental agency which the Board shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable.
 
Section 11.8 Right to Continued Employment. Participation in the Plan shall not give any Eligible Employee any right to remain in the employ of the Company, any Subsidiary, or any Affiliated Entity. The Company or, in the case of employment with a Subsidiary or an Affiliated Entity, the Subsidiary or Affiliated Entity reserves the right to terminate any Eligible Employee at any time. Further, the adoption of this Plan shall not be deemed to give any Eligible Employee or any other individual any right to be selected as a Participant or to be granted an Award.
 
C-9

 
Section 11.9 Reliance on Reports. Each member of the Board and each member of the Board shall be fully justified in relying or acting in good faith upon any report made by the independent public accountants of the Company and its Subsidiaries and upon any other information furnished in connection with the Plan by any person or persons other than himself or herself. In no event shall any person who is or shall have been a member of the Board be liable for any determination made or other action taken or any omission to act in reliance upon any such report or information or for any action taken, including the furnishing of information, or failure to act, if in good faith.
 
Section 11.10 Construction. Masculine pronouns and other words of masculine gender shall refer to both men and women. The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for the convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.
 
Section 11.11 Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware except as superseded by applicable Federal law.
 
Section 11.12 Other Laws. The Board may refuse to issue or transfer any shares of Common Stock or other consideration under an Award if, acting in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such shares or such other consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation or entitle the Company to recover the same under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and any payment tendered to the Company by a Participant, other holder or beneficiary in connection with the exercise of such Award shall be promptly refunded to the relevant Participant, holder or beneficiary.
 
Section 11.13 No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor an Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and a Participant or any other person. To the extent that a Participant acquires the right to receive payments from the Company pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any general unsecured creditor of the Company.
 
Section 11.14 Conformance to Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that the Committee determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan and Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Committee determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance, the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to (i) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code or (ii) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance.

a.
Term of Restrictive Covenant.

b.
Sufficient Consideration. The Executive understands that the foregoing restrictions may limit the ability of the Executive to earn a livelihood in a business similar to the business of the Company, but nevertheless believes that the Executive has received and shall receive sufficient consideration and other benefits, as an employee of the Company and as otherwise provided hereunder, to justify such restrictions which, in any event (given the education, skills and ability of the Executive), the Executive believes would not prevent the Executive from earning a living.
 
13.
Non-Disparagement. The Executive shall not engage in conduct, through word, act, gesture or other means, or disclose any information to the public or any third party which (i) directly or indirectly discredits or disparages in whole or in part the company, its subsidiaries, divisions, affiliates and/or successors as well as the products and the respective officers, directors, stockholders and employees of each of them; (ii) is detrimental to the reputation, character or standing of these entities, their products or any of their respective officers, directors, stockholders and/or employees; or (iii) which generally reflects negatively on the management decisions, strategy or decision-making of these entities.

14.

The Executive shall promptly disclose, grant and assign to the Company, for its sole use and benefit, any and all inventions, improvements, technical information and suggestions relating in any way to the business of the Company which the Executive may develop or acquire during the Employment Period (whether or not during usual working hours), together with all patent applications, letters patent, copyrights and reissues thereof that may at any time be granted for or upon any such invention, improvement or technical information. In connection therewith: (i) the Executive shall, without charge, but at the expense of the Company, promptly at all times hereafter execute and deliver such applications, assignments, descriptions and other instruments as may be necessary or proper in the opinion of the Company to vest title to any such inventions, improvements, technical information, patent applications, patents, copyrights or reissues thereof in the Company and to enable it to obtain and maintain the entire right and title thereto throughout the world, and (ii) the Executive shall render to the Company, at its expense (including a reasonable payment for the time involved in case the Executive is not then in its employ), all such assistance as it may require in the prosecution of applications for said patents, copyrights or reissues thereof, in the prosecution or defense of interferences which may be declared involving any said applications, patents or copyrights and in any litigation in which the Company may be involved relating to any such patents, inventions, improvements or technical information.
 
15.
Enforcement.

Accordingly, to the extent that a restriction contained in this Agreement is more restrictive than permitted by the laws of any jurisdiction where this Agreement may be subject to review and interpretation, the terms of such restriction, for the purpose only of the operation of such restriction in such jurisdiction, shall be the maximum restriction allowed by the laws of such jurisdiction and such restriction shall be deemed to have been revised accordingly herein.
 
16.
Remedies; Survival. 
 
 
a.
Injunctive Relief. The Executive acknowledges and understands that the provisions of the covenants contained in Sections 11, 12, 13 and 14 hereof, the violation of which cannot be accurately compensated for in damages by an action at law, are of crucial importance to the Company, and that the breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement would cause the Company irreparable harm.

HEALTHCARE ACQUISITION CORP. AND PHARMATHENE, INC.
FILE CERTIFICATE OF MERGER TO COMPLETE ACQUISITION; CONFIRMATION TO BE SOUGHT FROM DELAWARE COURT OF CHANCERY REGARDING STOCKHOLDER VOTE


DES MOINES, IA and ANNAPOLIS, MD, August 6, 2007 - Healthcare Acquisition Corp. (AMEX: HAQ), a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company, and PharmAthene, Inc., a biodefense company developing and commercializing medical countermeasures against biological and chemical threats, today announced that, following the actions at HAQ’s Special Meeting of Stockholders in which HAQ’s stockholders voted to approve the merger of its subsidiary with PharmAthene, Inc., the certificate of merger was filed.

Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 19, 2007, HAQ acquired all of the outstanding securities of PharmAthene and PharmAthene became a wholly owned subsidiary of HAQ. Additionally, as contemplated under the Merger Agreement, HAQ filed an amendment to its certificate of incorporation to, among other things, change its name to PharmAthene, Inc. and the name of PharmAthene, Inc., now a subsidiary of HAQ, was changed to PharmAthene US Corporation. It is expected that the Company’s common stock and warrants will trade under the following symbols when trading recommences:

 
·
common stock will trade under “PIP”
     
 
·
warrants will trade under “PIP.WS”

Stockholders of HAQ are not required to submit their share certificates for re-issuance.

At the HAQ Special Meeting of Stockholders, the number of shares requesting conversion into cash from the trust fund was misreported to the Company. Following that misreporting, certain of the officers, directors and current stockholders of HAQ and certain stockholders of PharmAthene purchased in the aggregate an additional 400,000 shares of HAQ common stock which shares were voted, pursuant to the negotiated terms of sale, in favor of the merger, reducing the number of conversion elections and allowing for approval of the merger. Because the vote was initially misreported to the Company at the meeting, a determination will be sought from the Delaware Chancery Court to affirm the validity of the stockholder vote approving the merger. Although the Board of HAQ believes that the approval of the merger was valid, in the event that the Delaware Court of Chancery does not affirm such validity, HAQ could be required to liquidate any funds then held in trust.

HAQ intends to inform the escrow agent for its trust funds immediately to proceed with liquidating that portion of the trust fund representing the positions of those stockholders who voted against the merger and requested conversion of their shares. The remaining funds will be held in trust pending further direction of the Board of Directors of the Company.

NO ASSURANCES CAN BE GIVEN THAT OTHER PARTIES WILL NOT OPPOSE CONFIRMATION OF SUCH VALIDITY.
