Manufacturing Agreement

We entered into a manufacturing agreement with APP for the manufacture of Abraxane® and certain of our pipeline products by APP for us at the Melrose Park and Grand Island manufacturing facilities. Under the terms of the manufacturing agreement, we would perform certain manufacturing activities with respect to Abraxane® or other pipeline products, principally related to the formulation and compounding of the active pharmaceutical ingredients in such products, and APP will undertake the remainder of the manufacturing processes. As part of the manufacturing services, APP would provide us with training related to proper manufacturing practices and other related training, assistance with quality assurance and control and information technology support related to manufacturing operations. With regard to the Melrose Park and Grand Island facilities, APP is responsible for obtaining and maintaining necessary approvals to manufacture Abraxane® or other pipeline products in compliance with the regulatory requirements applicable as to the jurisdictions in which such products are sold, subject to the right to receive reimbursement from us for the costs of such approvals in certain circumstances. We are responsible for obtaining and maintaining the remainder of the regulatory approvals required to sell and distribute Abraxane® both in the United States and in other jurisdictions and we are responsible for the final release of the product for sale at the completion of the manufacturing process. In the manufacturing agreement, APP agreed with us to cap the manufacturing growth over the term of the agreement of Abraxane® and other pipeline products that APP is required to manufacture under the agreement. Further, in the event of capacity constraints at the Melrose Park or Grand Island facilities, the manufacturing agreement provides that the available capacity will be prorated between us and APP according to the parties’ then current use of APP’s manufacturing capacity. While the manufacturing agreement allows us to override these proration provisions, we may only do so by paying APP additional fees under the manufacturing agreement. The fee we would be required to pay APP to override the proration provisions of the manufacturing agreement is equal to the profit lost by APP as a result of our election to override the proration provisions.

We would pay APP a customary margin on its manufacturing costs. In addition, during each of the first three years of the manufacturing agreement, we will pay APP a facility management fee equal to $3 million. The amount of this fee may be offset to the extent APP employees are transferred to us based upon the amount of compensation paid to such transferred employees. The term of the manufacturing agreement will end on December 31, 2011, which will be automatically extended for one year if either APP exercises its right to extend the lease on our Melrose Park manufacturing facility for an additional year or we exercise our right to extend the lease for APP’s Grand Island manufacturing facility for an additional year. (See Real Estate Leases below).

The manufacturing agreement includes customary confidentiality provisions pursuant to which we and APP will keep confidential all information of the other party, subject to certain exceptions.

In addition, the manufacturing agreement contains the following indemnification provisions. We will indemnify APP, its affiliates and its officers, directors and employees and agents (which are referred to as the “APP indemnified parties”) from any damages incurred by or assessed against them resulting from a third-party claim caused by or alleged to be caused by (i) our failure to perform our obligations under the manufacturing

agreement (ii) any product liability claim arising from the negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct of our or any of our affiliates or any product liability claim arising from our manufacturing obligations (or any failure or deficiency in our manufacturing obligations) under the manufacturing agreement; (iii) any claim that the manufacture, use or sale of Abraxane® or our pipeline products infringes a patent or any other proprietary right of a third party; or (iv) any recall, product liability claim or other third-party claim not arising from the gross negligence or bad faith of, or intentional misconduct or intentional breach of the manufacturing agreement by, the APP indemnified parties by reason of the $100 million limitation of liability described below. We will also indemnify the APP indemnified parties for liabilities that they become subject to as a result of their activities under the manufacturing agreement and for which they are not responsible under the terms of the manufacturing agreement. APP will indemnify us, and our affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from any damages incurred or assessed against them resulting from a third-party claim caused by or alleged to be caused by (i) APP’s gross negligence, bad faith, intentional misconduct or intentional failure to perform its obligations under the manufacturing agreement; and (ii) any product liability claim arising from the gross negligence or bad faith of, or intentional misconduct or intentional breach of the manufacturing agreement by, APP or its affiliates. The APP indemnified parties will not have any liability for monetary damages to our affiliates or third parties in connection with the manufacturing agreement for damages in excess of $100 million in the aggregate, except to the extent that the damages are the result of (i) one of APP’s or our executive officers in bad faith affirmatively instructing their employees to intentionally breach APP’s obligation to manufacture Abraxane® or pipeline products under the manufacturing agreement or (ii) any intentional failure by APP, in bad faith, to cure any material breach of its obligation to manufacture Abraxane® or pipeline products under the manufacturing agreement following notice of this breach.

Manufacturing Agreement

We entered into a manufacturing agreement with New APP, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, New APP LLC, for the manufacture of Abraxane® and certain of our pipeline products by New APP LLC for us at the Melrose Park and Grand Island manufacturing facilities. Under the terms of the manufacturing agreement, we will perform certain manufacturing activities with respect to Abraxane® or other pipeline products, principally related to the formulation and compounding of the active pharmaceutical ingredients in such products, and New APP LLC will undertake the remainder of the manufacturing processes. As part of the manufacturing services, New APP LLC will also provide us with training related to proper manufacturing practices and other related training, assistance with quality assurance and control and information technology support related to manufacturing operations. With regard to the Melrose Park and Grand Island facilities, New APP LLC is responsible for obtaining and maintaining necessary approvals to manufacture Abraxane® or other pipeline products in compliance with the regulatory requirements applicable as to the jurisdictions in which such products are sold, subject to the right to receive reimbursement from us for the costs of such approvals in certain circumstances. We are responsible for obtaining and maintaining the remainder of the regulatory approvals required to sell and distribute Abraxane® both in the United States and in other jurisdictions and we are responsible for the final release of the product for sale at the completion of the manufacturing process.

In the manufacturing agreement, New APP LLC agreed with us to cap the manufacturing growth over the term of the agreement of Abraxane® and other pipeline products that New APP LLC is required to manufacture under the agreement. Further, in the event of capacity constraints at the Melrose Park or Grand Island facilities, the manufacturing agreement will provide that the available capacity will be prorated between us and New APP LLC according to the parties’ then current use of New APP LLC’s manufacturing capacity. While the manufacturing agreement allows us to override these proration provisions, we may only do so by paying New APP LLC additional fees under the manufacturing agreement. The fee we would be required to pay New APP LLC to override the proration provisions of the manufacturing agreement is equal to the profit lost by New APP LLC as a result of our election to override the proration provisions.

We will pay New APP LLC a customary margin on its manufacturing costs. In addition, during each of the first three years of the manufacturing agreement, we will pay New APP LLC a facility management fee equal to $3 million. The amount of this fee may be offset to the extent New APP employees are transferred to us based upon the amount of compensation paid to such transferred employees. The term of the manufacturing agreement will end on December 31, 2011, which will be automatically extended for one year if either New APP exercises its right to extend the lease on our Melrose Park manufacturing facility for an additional year or we exercise our right to extend the lease for New APP’s Grand Island manufacturing facility for an additional year. (See “Real Estate Leases” below).

The manufacturing agreement includes customary confidentiality provisions pursuant to which we and New APP LLC will keep confidential all confidential information of the other party, subject to certain exceptions.

In addition, the manufacturing agreement contains the following indemnification provisions. We will indemnify New APP LLC, its affiliates and its officers, directors and employees and agents (which are referred to as the “APP indemnified parties”) from any damages incurred by or assessed against them resulting from a third-party claim caused by or alleged to be caused by (i) our failure to perform our obligations under the manufacturing agreement (ii) any product liability claim arising from the negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct of our or any of our affiliates or any product liability claim arising from our manufacturing obligations (or any failure or deficiency in our manufacturing obligations) under the manufacturing agreement; (iii) any claim that the manufacture, use or sale of Abraxane® or our pipeline products infringes a patent or any other proprietary right of a third party; or (iv) any recall, product liability claim or other third-party claim not arising from the gross negligence or bad faith of, or intentional misconduct or intentional breach of the manufacturing agreement by, the New APP indemnified parties by reason of the $100 million limitation of liability described below. We will also indemnify the New APP indemnified parties for liabilities that they become subject to as a result of their activities under the manufacturing agreement and for which they are not responsible under the terms of the manufacturing agreement. New APP LLC will indemnify us, and our affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from any damages incurred or assessed against them resulting from a third-party claim caused by or alleged to be caused by (i) New APP LLC’s gross negligence, bad faith, intentional misconduct or intentional failure to perform its obligations under the manufacturing agreement; and (ii) any product liability claim arising from the gross negligence or bad faith of, or intentional misconduct or intentional breach of the manufacturing agreement by, New APP LLC or its affiliates. The New APP indemnified parties will not have any liability for monetary damages to our affiliates or third parties in connection with the manufacturing agreement for damages in excess of $100 million in the aggregate, except to the extent that the damages are the result of (i) one of New APP LLC’s or our executive officers in bad faith affirmatively instructing their employees to intentionally breach New APP LLC’s obligation to manufacture Abraxane® or pipeline products under the manufacturing agreement or (ii) any intentional failure by New APP LLC, in bad faith, to cure any material breach of its obligation to manufacture Abraxane® or pipeline products under the manufacturing agreement following notice of this breach.

For the period ended December 31, 2007, we incurred $0.3 million of facility management fees and had not incurred fees for earned margins relating to the manufacture of Abraxane® by APP for us.

Real Estate Leases

Following the distribution, we own the manufacturing facility located on Ruby Street, Melrose Park, Illinois, and the research and development and the warehouse facility, both located in the same building on N. Cornell Avenue, Melrose Park, Illinois. APP owns the manufacturing facility located in Grand Island, New York. In connection with the separation, the parties entered into a series of lease agreements to facilitate continued

production of their respective pharmaceutical products while a manufacturing transition plan is being implemented. Under the terms of the lease agreements, we lease the Ruby Street facility, consisting of approximately 122,000 square feet of office, warehouse and pharmaceutical manufacturing space, to APP. The initial term of the lease expires on December 31, 2011 and may be renewed at the option of APP for one additional year if APP is manufacturing a certain level of its products at the Ruby Street facility in the period prior to the expiration of the lease. During the term of the lease, we will have access to the Ruby Street facility to perform certain elements of the manufacturing processes of Abraxane® and other nab™ technology product candidates under the manufacturing agreement as well as, under certain circumstances, to provide contract manufacturing services to third parties. In order to provide sufficient warehouse space to APP during the term of the Ruby Street lease, we also leased the Cornell Warehouse facility, consisting of approximately 71,000 square feet of warehouse space, to APP. The initial term of the lease will be until December 31, 2011, and may be renewed at APP’s option for one additional year if the lease for the Ruby Street manufacturing facility is extended. We also leased the Cornell R&D facility, consisting of approximately 48,000 square feet of research and development space, to APP. The initial term of the lease will be until December 31, 2010 and may be terminated upon twelve months written notice from and after January 1, 2009. This lease has no option to extend the term of the lease.

We leased a portion of APP’s Grand Island facility, consisting of approximately 5,700 square feet of pharmaceutical manufacturing space, to allow us to perform our obligations under the manufacturing agreement. The initial term of the lease will be until December 31, 2011, and may be renewed at our option for one additional year if we have not received regulatory approvals from the EMEA to manufacture Abraxane® in at least two facilities (not including the Grand Island facility) by June 30, 2011.

For the period ended December 31, 2007, we had $0.2 million in net rental income relating to these real estate leases.

Allocated Expenses

Prior to the separation, our product development and general and administrative functions were fully integrated with Old Abraxis, including product development, accounting, treasury, payroll, internal audit, information technology, corporate income tax, legal services and investor relations. In addition, Old Abraxis provided manufacturing services to us at cost. After the separation, certain of these arrangements (see above) continue on a temporary basis for a period generally not to exceed 24 months, or four or five years in the case of manufacturing-related activities and lease arrangements. The consolidated and combined financial statements reflect the application of certain estimates and allocations and management believes the methods used to allocate these operating expenses are reasonable. The allocation methods include relative head count, sales, square footage and management knowledge. These allocated operating expenses totaled of $33.3 million, $25.8 million and $13.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The fee we would be required to pay New APP LLC to override the proration provisions of the manufacturing agreement is equal to the profit lost by New APP LLC as a result of our election to override the proration provisions.

We will pay New APP LLC a customary margin on its manufacturing costs. In addition, during each of the first three years of the manufacturing agreement, we will pay New APP LLC a facility management fee equal to $3 million. The amount of this fee may be offset to the extent New APP employees are transferred to us based upon the amount of compensation paid to such transferred employees. The term of the manufacturing agreement will end on December 31, 2011, which will be automatically extended for one year if either New APP exercises its right to extend the lease on our Melrose Park manufacturing facility for an additional year or we exercise our right to extend the lease for New APP’s Grand Island manufacturing facility for an additional year. See “—Real Estate Leases” below.

The manufacturing agreement is expected to include customary confidentiality provisions pursuant to which we and New APP LLC will keep confidential all confidential information of the other party, subject to certain exceptions.

In addition, the manufacturing agreement is expected to contain the following indemnification provisions. We will indemnify New APP LLC, its affiliates and its officers, directors and employees and agents (which we refer to as the “APP indemnified parties”) from any damages incurred by or assessed against them resulting from a third-party claim caused by or alleged to be caused by (i) our failure to perform our obligations under the manufacturing agreement (ii) any product liability claim arising from the negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct of us or any of our affiliates or any product liability claim arising from our manufacturing obligations (or any failure or deficiency in our manufacturing obligations) under the manufacturing agreement; (iii) any claim that the manufacture, use or sale of Abraxane® or our pipeline products infringes a patent or any other proprietary right of a third party; or (iv) any recall, product liability claim or other third-party claim not arising from the gross negligence or bad faith of, or intentional misconduct or intentional breach of the manufacturing
