C.OMPT,AINT
AND NOW comes Plaintiff, Sherry L. Lurie, by and through her attorney, Barbara
Sumple-Sullivan, Esquire, and hereby asserts the following claims in the alternative against
Defendant, PfIzer, Inc.:
Facts l\ppllcable To All Counts
1. Plaintiff, Sherry L. Lurie, is an adult individual residing at 1835 Red Spruce Lane,
Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17050-8509.
2, Defendant, Pfizer, Inc. ("Pfizer"), is a corporation incorporated in Delaware which
maintains a principal place of business at 235 East 42nd Street, New York, New York,
10017-5755, and a Pennsylvania address at c/o CT Corporate Systems, 1515 Market
Street, Suite 1210, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 19102.
"WJ:;""'_~~"^.,.,,, ,__,

~
~~
.}
.
3. Pfizer regularly transacts and conducts its business in Pennsylvania, including in
Cumberland County.
4. Plaintiffbecame employed by Pfizer in 1978, and remained a dedicated, productive
employee until an uncertain date in late 2000/early 2001 when her employment was
terminated by Pfizer as part of a reduction in force arising from a corporate acquisition.
5, During her twenty-two plus (22+) years of service to Pfizer, Plaintiff functioned in a
sales capacity, eventually rising to a sales position known as a "Premier Team Leader".
6. During her twenty-two plus (22+) years of service to Pfizer, Plaintiff worked diligently,
faithfully, productively and with distinction, and through her efforts, conferred
substantial benefits on Pfizer.
7. As a Pfizer employee, Plaintiff received compensation in the form ofa salary, certain
fringe benefits not at issue herein, and stock option grants under Pfizer's Stock and
Incentive 'Plan, which are at issue herein.
8. As ofDetember 31, 2000, Plaintiff was vested in the following stock options grants
which entitled her to purchase a stated number of shares of Pfizer stock at a stated option
price:
a) Gr,ant Number 0370, with a GrantDate of August 17, 1992 and Termination
Date of August 16,2002, for One Thousand Five Hundred (1,500) shares at
-2-
"p:i.m.'~"'~o' """",,'" .
"]"'''''''''..,.
,-,
"
,,;,,"''''''^ -, ," "'~ '-
,
.J
.
an option price of Six Dollars and Seventy-Five Cents ($6.75) (the "1992
Option").
b) Grant Number 0423, with a Grant Date of August 25, 1995 and Termination
Date of August 24,2004, for One Hundred Ninety-Two (192) shares at an
option price ofFive Dollars and Seventy-One Cents ($5.71) (the "1994
Option").
c) Grant Number 0600, with a Grant Date of August 22, 1996 and Termination
Date of August 21,2006, for Nine Hundred Forty-Two (942) shares at an
option price of Twelve Dollars and Forty-Two Cents ($12.42) (the "1996
Option'').
.
(The 1992 Option, 1994 Option and 1996 Option are referred to collectively at times
herein as the "Disputed Stock Options").
9. In addition, Plaintiff had vested rights in a 1998 Option and non-vested rights in a 1999
Option, n~ither of which is at issue herein,
10. The Disputed Options were fully earned by Plaintiff for the services she performed on
behalf of and for PfIzer as a sales representative.
11. Prior to December 31, 2000, Plaintiff had also received prior stock option grants from
PfIzer and had consistently exercised these prior stock options before their expiration
dates.
12. On each occasion prior to December 31,2000, when one of Plaintiff's stock option grants
was approaching its expiration date, Plaintiff received several written notices from or on
behalf of Pfizer advising her that a stock option grant wou1d shortly expire. thereby
-3-
'--'/'f"~)j;l!'I~!?l~,_,_
.- -..-. - -1"
-
.-
;' -
I
providing notice to Plaintiff and ensuring that the stock option would be exercised before
its expiration.
13. The provision of written advance notices by or on behalf of Pfizer described in the
preceding paragraph was relied upon by Plaintiff and become part of the regular course
of dealing between Plaintiff and Pfizer with respect to Plaintiffs stock option grants,
including with respect to the Disputed Options.
14. Up until December 31, 2001, Plaintiff had regularly and routinely exercised all of her
stock option grants on a timely basis.
15. In mid-to-late 2000, Plaintiff received notice from Pfizer that her position was being
terminated due to "organizational restructuring" associated with Pfizer's acquisition of
another drug company, Warner-Lambert.
16. Pfizer's "organizational restructuring" was a new, unique and extraordinary event
incident to a major corporate acquisition, and was not part of any employee termination
procedure contemplated or normally practiced by Pfizer.
17. As a result of Pfizer's termination of Plaintiff's position during its "organizational
restructuring", Plaintiff underwent an "exit process" with Pfizer during which Plaintiff
received erroneous, confusing and incomplete information from Pfizer regarding her
separation benefits, including the status and expiration dates of the Disputed Options.
-4-
'''f'~l~ _"-'"_'"^",,'~
, >
r-"'-
-
;"'~ ,
'~')"ilj;.t,,,,,,,,.,,.,,~,, _'
..
.
18. As part of the "exit process" and as part of the agreed upon terms of Plaintiffs separation
agreement from Pfizer, Plaintiff was advised that she would have ninety (90) days after
her termiriation to exercise the Disputed Options,
19. The ninety (90) day post-termination period represented to Plaintiff was, in fact, the
option period also available to employees ofWamer-Lamberl, the company acquired by
Pfizer that led to the "organizational restructuring."
20. As part of the "exit process" and as part of the agreed-upon tenns of Plaintiff's separation
agreemen:t from Pfizer, Pfizer agreed to allow Plaintiff ninety (90) days after her
termination to exercise the Disputed Options, thereby creating, in the alternative, either a
new contract obligation, or an amendment of existing contract obligations, or an
agreement to waive any requirement that the Disputed Options be exercised before
Plaintiffs termination date,
21. As a result of the information provided to Plaintiff, Plaintiff reasonably believed she had
ninety (90) days following her termination date in which to exercise the Disputed
,
Options. '
22. Pfizer has now asserted to Plaintiff that the Disputed Options all expired on her
"Termination Date," and that there was no subsequent allowable exercise period,
resulting in a substantial windfall to Pfizer.
-5-
'~~"~'I' "'~'-,,,
'I'
;,"''''''~'o,;--&''''- -,_ "~~, ,'~. ~",
23. The "Termination Date" has been asserted by Pfizer at various times to be either
January 1,2001, January 10, 2001 or February 12, 2001.
24. In October, 200 I, Plaintiff received from or on behalf of Pfizer, an account statement that
reflected that the Disputed Options were forfeited on January 23,2001, then were
reinstated on February 8, 2001, then forfeited again on February 12,2001. (See Exhibit
"A" attached hereto).
25. Pfizer itself cannot state consistently and with certainty when it deems that Plaintiff
reached her "Termination Date," and thus relinquished the right to exercise the Disputed
Options, or on what other dates the Disputed Options may have allegedly been forfeited.
26. Plaintiff stood ready, willing and able to exercise the Disputed Options at any time in late
2000 or early 2001, if she had been advised that such exercise was necessary.
27. The Disputed Options represented a considerable value to Plaintiff, and there is no reason
why she would not have exercised the Disputed Options if she had known they had to be
exercised.
28. In January, 2001 Plaintiff received a "Status Notice, as of December 31, 2000" of her
stock option grants under "The Pfizer Stock and Incentive Plan." (See Exhibit "B"
attached hereto).

29. The Status Notice as of December 31, 2000, received by Plaintiff in January, 2001,
supposedly after her alleged "termination date," showed that the original expiration dates
of the Di~uted Options remained in place and were not accelerated to any so-called
''Termination Date."
30. Plaintiffwas never provided with any of the normal, written notices historically provided
by or on behalf of Pfizer and relied upon by Plaintiff that any of the Disputed Options
were set to expire.
31. In March, 2001, Plaintiff telephoned Pfizer to inquire whether the infonnation in the
Status Notice was correct, that is, that the original expiration dates remained in place and
that the Disputed Options did not have to be exercised within ninety (90) days of
termination, which had been her reasonable belief based upon her "exit process" and
separation agreement with Pfizer.
32. Plaintiff was advised for the first time in this phone call that Pfizer considered the
Disputed Options to have expired because Plaintiff had not exercised the same before her
''Termination Date," identified for her at this time to have been January 10,2001.
33. Unbeknownst to Plaintiff, at some time during 2000, Pfizer engaged Merrill Lynch as a
new service provider for the Pfizer stock option program, to be effective January 1,2001.
-7-
, ''''f'~!!li?;'""" ,',.,,""......
r
-~, .

34. In January, 2001 Plaintiff became aware, after being informed that the Disputed Options
had expired, of a Pfizer mailing to other Pfizer employees during the fourth quarter of
2000, advising Pfizer employees that after December 31,2000, the only way to exercise a
Pfizer stock option was through a Merrill Lynch brokerage account. (See Exhibit "C"
attached hereto).
35. Plaintiff was never sent the Pfizer mailing attached hereto as Exhibit "C."
36. Plaintiff never had a Merrill Lynch brokerage account, never had an opportunity to set up
a Merrill Lynch brokerage account, never received the fourth quarter mailing from Pfizer
and was kept in the dark by Pfizer concerning this critical information which was
supposedly necessary in order to exercise Pfizer stock options.
37. Pfizer has never explained to Plaintiff how she could have exercised the Disputed
Options after December 31, 2000 (assuming a January 10, 2001 "Termination Date")
when it failed to provide the critical Merrill Lynch information to her.
38. Plaintiff thereafter spent several weeks attempting to resolve with Pfizer management,
the Disputed Options (as well as numerous other mistakes by Pfizer relating to Plaintiff's
employment separation, including months of effort to receive bonus compensation that
was withheld and incorrect withholding from Plaintiff's pay), to no avail.
-8-
-',cr"';;I'J~L;,~" _
-"'1-
,""
-
">.!:'f~"..?("
~
39. On AprilS, 2001, Plaintiff exercised her 1992 Option, 1994 Option and 1996 Option,
submitting the appropriate forms and a check in the cumulative amount of Thirty Two
Thousand Seven Hundred Eighty-Seven dollars and Eighty Four cents ($32,787.84)
representing the total exercise price for all the options (See Exhibit "D" attached hereto),
within the ninety (90) day period specified in her exit interview and well within the
period specified in the January, 2001 option statement received after her termination
date.
40. By letter dated April 13, 2001, Pfizer returned Plaintiffs check to her and advised that
the 1992 Option, 1994 Option and 196 Option could not be exercised since they allegedly
had expired and could not be reinstated. (Pfizer did, however, express its "regret that you
experiendM difficulties during the separation process." (See Exhibit "E" attached
hereto).)
41. The increased value of the Pfizer stock over the exercise price, which varies depending
on the actual market price of Pfizer stock, is nevertheless in the neighborhood of One
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00), and exceeds the amount requiring
reference to compulsory arbitration.
, .
42. Despite numerous attempts by Plaintiff to seek an amicable resolution with Pfizer
throughout the first half of 200 1, Pfizer has steadfasted1y refused to permit Plaintiff to
exercise the Disputed Options.
-9-

'..~,,~ '" .
--'1'"- ..

--~
"^,
43. The Disputed Options are unique and make an award of monetary damages, only,
difficult or impossible to ascertain. Pfizer stock is publicly traded and its price fluctuates
on a daily basis. Because Plaintiff's damages would depend upon calcu1ating the
differences between Plaintiff's exercise price and the fluctuating value of Pfizer stock at
any given time, and would necessarily include calculation of stock purchase transaction
costs and differing tax consequences, the appropriate and necessary remedy herein is to
require Pfizer to permit Plaintiff to exercise the Disputed Options.
COUNT I
BREACH OF CONTRACT
44. Paragraphs 1 through 43 are incorporated by reference as if fully set forth in full.
45. Pfizer's actions as described herein constitute a breach of its contract with Plaintiff.
46. Plaintiff has suffered significant damages as a result of Pfizer's breach.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests that this Honorable Court issue a decree and enter
judgment against Pfizer, requiring Pfizer to issue to Plaintiff the proper number of shares of
Pfizer stock at the stated exercise prices for Plaintiff's 1992 Option, 1994 Option and 1996
Option, as well as award costs and fees, plus such further and additional relief as may be
appropriate.

COUNT II
BREACH OF
PENNSYLVANIA'S WAGE PAYMENT
AND COLLECTION I.A W
47. The averments of paragraphs 1 through 46 are hereby incorporated by reference as ifset
forth in full.
48. Plaintiff brings this count pursuant to Pennsylvania's Wage Payment and Collection Law,
43 P .S. ~260.1. .
49. The benefits due to Plaintiff pursuant to the exercise of her 1992 Option, 1994 Option
and 1996 Option constitute wages under the Wage Payment and Collection Law.
50. Pfizer's refusal to accept Plaintiffs exercise of the Disputed Options and refusal to issue
the stock to which Plaintiff is entitled constitutes a violation of the Wage Payment and
Collection Law.
1
51. Pfizer's refusal to permit Plaintiff to exercise the Disputed Options is not in good faith.
52, In addition to the wages owed to Plaintiff, Plaintiff is entitled to liquidated damages in an
amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the value of the wages pursuant to the
Wage Payment and Collection Law.
53. Plaintiff is entitled to an award of attorney's fe~s pursuant to the Wage Payment and
Collection Law.

WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests judgment be entered against Pfizer requiring that Pfizer
permit Plaintiff to exercise the Disputed Options, plus liquidated damages equal to twenty-five
percent (25%) o{the value of the Disputed Options calculated as of the date when Plaintiff
attempted to exercise the Disputed Options, plus attorney's fees, costs ofthis suit and interest,
plus such further and additional relief appropriate under the circumstances.
COUNT ill
UNJUST ENRICHMENT
54. The averments of paragraphs 1 through 53 are hereby incorporated by reference as if set
forth in full.
55. By virtue of the services rendered by Plaintiff over an employment period of twenty. two
(22) years, she conferred a substantial benefit on Pfizer.
56. Pfizer accepted and appreciated the benefits provided by Plaintiff.
57. Acceptance and retention of these benefits by Pfizer without compensating Plaintiff the
value to which she is entitled would be inequitable under the circumstances.
58. Plaintiff is entitled to the reliefrequested herein under the doctrine of unjust enrichment.

DEFENDANT'S NOTICE OF REMOVAL
Defendant Pfizer Inc., hereby provides notice that SherrY Lurie v, Pfizer rnc" No. 01-
5914-CV-2001, in the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, has been removed to the
United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
A. Grounds For Removal
1. On or about June 8, 2001, Plaintiff Sherry Lurie filed a Complaint in the Court of
Common Pleas of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania against Defendant entitled SherrY Lurie v.'
Pfizer Inc., No. 01-5914-CV-2001. The Complaint was served on March 12,2002 by mail and
received by Defendant's counsel on March 18,2002. A copy of the Complaint is attached as
Exhibit 1.
2. Plaintiff alleges that Defendant breached a contract with Plaintiff and violated the
Pennsylvania Wage Payment and Collection Law when Plaintiffs vested stock options expired
upon the termination of her employment, thereby precluding her from exercising such options,
Plaintiff also asserts claims of unjust enrichment and promissory estoppel.
3. This Court has original jurisdiction over this Complaint based on diversity of
citizenship pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ~ 1332 in that:
DSB:S340Q4.IIPPl003-1S6628
<. -
I -
, .
~ R
,~--
,
(a) Defendant is a corporation incorporated in Delaware with its principal
place of business in New York.
(b) Plaintiff is a citizen of, and resides in, the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.
(c) This action is a civil action in which the amount in controversy ex.ceeds
the sum or value of $75,000, exclusive of costs and interest, and is
between citizens of different states.
Therefore, removal is appropriate in accordance with 28 D.S.C. ~~ 1441(a) and (b).
B. The Petition For Removal Is Time1v
1. The Complaint was served by mail on Defendant's counsel on March 12, 2002.
This Notice is filed within thirty (30) days of the date of service as required by 28 D.S.C.
99 1446(a) & (b).
C. Venue Is AllllronrlateIn This Judicial District
1. Venue is appropriate in the Middle District of Pennsylvania because the Court of
Common Pleas of Cumberland County is located in this judicial district. 28 D.S.C. ~ 144I(a).
D. Couies or The Pleadlnl!S And Process Are Attached
1. No other orders or pleadings have been served upon Defendant in this action
while it was in state court, so there is nothing to attach to this Notice of Removal pursuant to 28
D.S.C. 9 1446.
E. Notice Has Been Given To Plaintiff And The State Court
1. Pursuant to 28 D.S.C. ~ 1446(d), Defendant will file a Notice of Removal with the
Court of Common Pleas for Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. A copy of that Notice of
Removal is attached as Exhibit 2. The state court Notice of Removal and this Notice of Removal
will also be served upon Plaintiff.

Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17050-8509.
2. Defendant, Pfizer, Inc. (''Pfizer''), is a corporation incorporated in Delaware which

3.
Pfizer regularly transacts and conducts its business in Pennsylvania, including in
Cumberland County.
4. Plainti1ibecame employed by Pfizer in 1978, and remained a dedicated, productive
employee until an uncertain date in late 2000/early 2001 when her employment was
terminated by Pfizer as part of a reduction in force arising from a corporate acquisition.
5. During her twenty-two plus (22+) years of service to Pfizer, Plaintiff functioned in a
sales capacity, eventually rising to a sales position known as a ''Premier Team Leader".
6. During her twenty-two plus (22+) years of service to Pfizer, Plainti1iworked diligently,
faithfully, productively and with distinction, and through her efforts, conferred
substantial benefits on Pfizer.
7. As a Pfizer employee, Plaintiff received compensation in the form of a salary, certain
fringe benefits not at issue herein, and stock option grants under PfIZer's Stock and
Incentive 'Plan, which are at issue herein.
8. As of December 31, 2000, P1aintiffwBs vested in the following stock options grants
which entitled her to purchase a stated number of shares of Pfizer stock at a stated option
price:
a) ~t Number 0370, with a Grant Date of August 17, 1992 and Termination
Date of August 16,2002, for One ThOUSand Five Hundred (1,500) shares at

an option price,ofSix Dollars and Seventy-Five Cents ($6.75) (the "1992
Option").
c)
Grant Number 0423, with a Grant Date of August 25, 1995 and Termination
Date of August 24, 2004, for One Hundred Ninety-Two (192) shares at an
option price of Five Dollars and Seventy-One Cents ($5.71) (the "1994
option").
Grant Number 0600, with a Grant Date of August 22, 1996 and Termination
Date of August 21, 2006, for Nine Hundred Forty-Two (942) shares at an
option price of Twelve Dollars and Forty-Two Cents ($12.42) (the "1996
Option").
b)
, '
(The 1992 Option, 1994 Option and 1996 Option are referred to collectively at times
herein as the "Disputed Stock Options").
9. In addition, Plaintiff had vested rights in a 1998 Option and non-vested rights in a 1999
Option, n~ither of which is at issue herein.
10. The Disputed Options were fully earned by Plaintiff for the services she performed on
behalf of and for Pfizer as a sales representative.
11. Prior to December 31, 2000, Plaintiff had also received prior stock option grants from
Pfizer and had consistently exercised these prior stock options before their expiration
dates.
12. On each occasion pr!or to December 31, 2000, when one of Plaintiff's stock option grants
was approaching its expiration date, Plaintiff received several written notices from or on
behalf of Pfizer advising her that a stock option grant would shortly expire, thereby
.3.

I"~ ~~

~~:~
providing notice to Plaintiff and ensuring that the stock option would be exercised before
its expiration.
13. The provision of written advance notices by or on behalf of Pfizer described in the
preceding paragraph was relied upon by Plaintiff and become part of the regular course
of dealing between Plaintiff and Pfizer with respect to Plaintiffs stock option grants,
including with respect to the Disputed Options.
14. . Up until December 31, 2001, Plaintiff had regularly and routinely exercised all of her
stock option grants on a timely basis.
15. In mid-to-late 2000, Plaintiff received notice from Pfizer that her position was being
terminated due to "organizational restructuring" associated with Pfizer's acquisition of
another drug company, Warner-Lambert.
16. Pfizer's "organizational restructuring" was a new, unique and extraordinary event
incident to a major corporate acquisition, and was not part of any employee termination
procedure contemplated or normally practiced by Pfizer.
17. As a result of Pfizer' s termination of Plaintiff s position during its "organizational
restructuring", Plaintiff underwent an "exit process" with PfIZer during which Plaintiff
received erroneous, confusing and incomplete information from Pfizer regarding her
separation benefits, including the status and expiration dates of the Disputed Options.

18.
A3 part of the "exit process" and as part of the agreed upon terms of Plaintiffs separation
agreement from Pfizer, Plaintiff was advised that she would have ninety (90) days after
her termiIiation to exercise the Disputed Options.
19. The ninety (90) day post-tennination period represented to Plaintiff was, in fact, the
option period also available to employees of Wamer-Lambert, the company acquired by
Pfizer that led to the '~organizational restructuring."
20. A3 part of the "exit process" and as part of the agreed-upon terms of Plaintiffs separation
agreement from Pfizer, Pfizer agreed to allow Plaintiff ninety (90) days after her
termination to exercise the Disputed Options, thereby creating, in the alternative, either a
new contract obligation, or an amendment of existing contract obligations, or an
agreement to waive any requirement that the Disputed Options be exercised before
Plaintiffs tennination date.
21. A3 a result of the information provided to Plaintiff, Plaintiff reasonably believed she had
ninety (90) days fOllowing her tennination date in which to exercise the Disputed
Options. '
22. Pfizer has now asserted to Plaintiff that the Disputed Options all expired on her
"Termination Date," and that there was no subsequent allowable exercise period,
resulting in a substantial windfall to Pfizer.

23. The ''Termination Date" haS been asserted by Pfizer at various times to be either
January 1,2001, January 10,2001 or February 12, 2001.
24. In October, 2001, P1aintiffreceived from or on behalf of Pfizer, an account statement that
reflected that the Disputed Options were forfeited on January 23, 2001, then were
reinlltated on February 8, 2001, then forfeited again on February 12, 2001. (See Exhibit
"A" attached hereto).
25, Pfizer itself cannot state consistently and with certainty when it deems that Plaintiff
reached her "Termination Date," and thus relinquished the right to exercise the Disputed
Options, or on what other dates the Disputed Options may have allegedly been forfeited.
26. Plaintiff stood ready, willing and able to exercise the Disputed Options at any time in late
2000 or early 2001, if she had been advised that such exercise was necessary.
27. The Disputed Options represented a considerable value to Plaintiff, and there is no reason
why she would not have exercised the Disputed Options if she had known they had to be
exercised.
28, In January, 2001 Plaintiff received a "Status Notice, as of December 31,2000" of her
stock optiOn grants under ''The Pfizer Stock and Incentive Plan." (See Exhibit "B"
attached hereto).

29. The Status Notice as of December 31, 2000, received by Plaintiff in January, 2001,'
supposedly after her alleged "termination date," showed that the original expiration dates
of the Dis~uted Options remained in place and were not accelerated to any so-called
"Termination Date."
30, Plaintiff was never provided with any of the normal, written notices historically provided
by or on behalf of Pfizer and relied upon by Plaintiff that any of the Disputed Options
were set to expire,
31. In March, 2001, Plaintiff telephoned Pfizer to inquire whether the information in the
Status Notice was correct, that is, that the original expiration dates remained in place and
that the Disputed Options did not have to be exercised within ninety (90) days of
termination, which had been her reasonable belief based upon her "exit process" and
separation agreement with Pfizer.
32. Plaintiff was advised for the first time in this phone call that Pfizer considered the
Disputed Options to have expired because Plaintiff had not exercised the same before her
"Termination Date," identified for her at this time to have been January 10, 2001.
33. Unbeknownst to Plaintiff, at some time during 2000, Pfizer engaged Merrill Lynch as a
new service provider for the Pfizer stock option program, to be effective January I, 2001.

34. In January, 2001 P1aintitIbecame aware, after being informed that the Disputed Options
had expired, of a Pfizer mailing to other Pfizer employees during the fourth quarter of
2000, advising Pfizer employees that after December 31, 2000, the only way to exercise a
Pfizer stock option was through a MenilI Lynch brokerage account. (See Exhibit "C"
attached hereto).
35. PlaintitIwas never sent the Pfizer mailing attached hereto as Exhibit "C."
, .
36. Plaintiff never had a Menill Lynch brokerage account, never had an opportunity to set up
a Merrill Lynch brokerage account, never received the fourth quarter mailing from Pfizer
and was kept in the dark by Pfizer concerning this critical information which was
supposedly necessary in order to exercise Pfizer stock options.
37. Pfizer haS never explained to Plaintiff how she could have exercised the Disputed
Options after December 31, 2000 (assuming a January 10,2001 "Termination Date'')
when it failed to provide the critical Menill Lynch information to her.
38. Plaintiff thereafter spent several weeks attempting to resolve with Pfizer management,
the Disputed Options (as well as numerous other mistakes by Pfizer relating to Plaintiff's
employment separation, including months of effort to receive bonus compensation,that
was withheld and incorrect withholding from Plaintiff' s pay), to ~ avail.

39. On April 5, 2001, Plaintiff exercised her 1992 Option, 1994 Option and 1996 Option,
submitting the appropriate forms and a check in the cumulative amount of Thirty Two
Thousand Seven Hundred Eighty-Seven dollars and Eighty Four cents ($32,787.84)
representing the total exercise price for all the options (See Exhibit "D" attached hereto),
within the ninety (90) day period specified in her exit interview and well within the
period specified in the January, 2001 option statement received after her termination
date.
40, By letter dated April 13, 2001, Pfizer returned Plaintiff's check to her and advised that
the 1992 Option, 1994 Option and 196 Option could not be exercised since they allegedly
had expired and could not be reinstated, (pfizer did, however, express its "regret that you
experienJ~d difficulties during the separation process." (See Exhibit "E" attached
hereto).)
41, The increased value of the Pfizer stock over the exercise price, which varies depending
on the actual market price of Pfizer stock, is nevertheless in the neighborhood of One
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000,00), and exceeds the amount requiring
reference to compulsory arbitration.
42. Despite nUmerous attempts by Plaintiff to seek an amicable resolution with Pfizer
throughout the first half of 200 1, Pfizer has steadfastedly refilsed to permit Plaintiff to
exercise the Disputed Options.

43, The Disputed Options are unique and make an award of monetary damages, only,
difficult or impossible to ascertain. Pfizer stock is publicly traded and its price fluctuates
on a daily basis. Because Plaintiff's damages would depend upon calculating the
differences between Plaintifi's exercise price and the fluctuating value of Pfizer stock at
any given time, and would necessarily include calculation of stock purchase transaction
costs and differing tax consequences, the appropriate and necessary remedy herein is to
require Pfizer to permit Plaintiff to exercise the Disputed Options.

B~ACH OF CONTRACT
44. Paragraphs 1 through 43 are incorporated by reference as if fully set forth in full.
45. Pfizer's actions as descn'bed herein constitute a breach of its contract with Plaintiff.

WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests that this Honorable Court issue a decree and enter
judgment against Pfizer, requiring PfIZer to issue to Plaintiff the proper number of shares of
Pfizer stock at the stated exercise prices for Plaintiff's 1992 Option, 1994 Option and 1996
Option, as well as award costs and fees, plus such further and additional relief as may be
appropriate.
