You (the “Grantee”) have been granted shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Award”), subject to the terms and conditions of this Notice of Restricted Stock Bonus Award (the “Notice”), the Abraxis BioScience, Inc. 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as amended from time to time, and the Restricted Stock Bonus Award Agreement (the “Agreement”) attached hereto, as follows. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Notice.

Value of the Shares

      

Consideration:

The Shares have been issued to the Grantee in consideration for continued service with the Company, which consideration has a value of [$                    ] per share, the Fair Market Value of a Share.

Vesting Schedule:

Subject to the Grantee’s Continuous Service and other limitations set forth in this Notice, the Plan and the Agreement, the Shares will “vest” in accordance with the following schedule:

[25% of the Shares shall vest on the first anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date, 25% of the Shares shall vest on the second anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date, 25% of the Shares shall vest on the third anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date and the remaining 25% of the Shares shall vest on the fourth anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date.]

[Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grantee’s Continuous Service is terminated as a result of the Grantee’s Retirement (as defined below) prior to the fourth anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date, 1/1460 of the Shares shall vest for each day of Continuous Service that the Grantee has completed during the period beginning with the Vesting Commencement Date and ending on (and including) the date of termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service as a result of the Grantee’s Retirement. If the foregoing calculation results in the vesting of a fraction of a Share, then the number of Shares that shall have vested will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares.]

[For purposes of this Notice and the Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean: (a) voluntary termination of Continuous Service by the Grantee at age 65 or later; or (b) voluntary termination of Continuous Service by the Grantee at age 55 or later provided that the Grantee has completed at least [10]/[20] years of Continuous Service.]

In the event of the Grantee’s change in status from Employee to Consultant or from an Employee whose customary employment is 20 hours or more per week to an Employee whose customary employment is fewer than 20 hours per week, vesting of the Shares shall continue only to the extent determined by the Administrator.

[During any authorized leave of absence, the vesting of the Shares as provided in this schedule shall be suspended [after the leave of absence exceeds a period of [three (3)] months]. Vesting of the Shares shall resume upon the Grantee’s termination of the leave of absence and return to service to the Company or a Related Entity. The Vesting Schedule of the Shares shall be extended by the length of the suspension.]

For purposes of this Notice and the Agreement, the term “vest” shall mean, with respect to any Shares, that such Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture to the Company; provided, however, that such Shares shall remain subject to any other restrictions on transfer set forth in the Agreement or the Plan. Shares that have not vested are deemed “Restricted Shares.” If the Grantee would become vested in a fraction of a Restricted Share, such Restricted Share shall not vest until the Grantee becomes vested in the entire Share.

Vesting shall cease upon the date of termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service for any reason, including death or Disability. In the event the Grantee’s Continuous Service is terminated for any reason, including death or Disability, any Restricted Shares held by the Grantee immediately following such termination of Continuous Service shall be deemed reconveyed to the Company and the Company shall thereafter be the legal and beneficial owner of the Restricted Shares and shall have all rights and interest in or related thereto without further action by the Grantee. The foregoing forfeiture provisions set forth in this Notice as to Restricted Shares shall apply to the new capital stock or other property (including cash paid other than as a regular cash dividend) received in exchange for the Shares in consummation of any transaction described in Section 11 of the Plan and such stock or property shall be deemed Additional Securities (as defined in the Agreement) for purposes of the Agreement, but only to the extent the Shares are at the time covered by such forfeiture provisions.

The Award shall be subject to the provisions of Section 11 of the Plan in the event of a Corporate Transaction, Related Entity Disposition or Change in Control.
