The compensation committee of Old Abraxis’ board of directors administered the 2001 Plan and had the
authority to determine the terms and conditions of awards, including the types of awards, the number of shares subject to each award, the vesting schedule of the awards and the selection of the grantees. The exercise price of all options granted
under the 2001 Plan were determined by the compensation committee of Old Abraxis’ board of directors, but in no event was this price less than the fair market value of Old Abraxis’ common stock on the date of grant.

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The 2001 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Program, or the 2001 Program, was adopted as part, and is subject to the terms and conditions, of the 2001 Plan. The 2001 Program established a program for the automatic
grant of awards to non-employee directors at the time that they initially join the board and at each annual meeting of the stockholders at which they are elected.

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Restricted Unit Plan

In connection with the 2007 separation, we assumed the American
BioScience Restricted Unit Plan I and the American BioScience Restricted Unit Plan II (the “Plans”). We also assumed the restricted units previously granted under these plans to our employees.

STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%">Shares of our common stock will be issuable upon the vesting of these units. The units granted under American BioScience Restricted Unit Plan I vested
upon the completion of the 2006 Merger. The units issued under the American BioScience Restricted Unit Plan II generally vested one-half on April 18, 2008 (which is the second anniversary of the closing of the 2006 Merger). The balance of the
shares generally will vest on April 18, 2010. The units entitle their holders to receive a number of our shares of common stock determined on each vesting date based on the notional price that vests on such date divided by our average trading
price over the three days prior to vesting; except that if the average trading price of our stock price is less than $66.63, then the notional price is divided by $66.63. The maximum number of our shares that may be issuable under this restricted
unit plan is 367,100 shares.

We also assumed an agreement between Old Abraxis and RSU Plan LLC (“RSU LLC”). Under the terms of
this agreement, RSU LLC has agreed that prior to the date on which restricted stock units issued pursuant to American BioScience Restricted Unit Plan II become vested, RSU LLC will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to us the number of our shares of
common stock or cash (or a combination thereof) in an amount sufficient to satisfy the obligations to participants under the American BioScience Restricted Unit Plan II of the vested restricted units. We are required to satisfy our obligations under
the American BioScience Restricted Unit Plan II by paying to the participants in the American BioScience Restricted Unit Plan II cash and/or shares of our common stock in the same proportion as was delivered by the RSU LLC. The intention of this
agreement is to have RSU LLC satisfy our obligations under American BioScience Restricted Unit Plan II so that there would not be any further dilution to our stockholders as a result of our assumption of the American BioScience Restricted Unit Plan
II.

As of December 31, 2008, we recorded a long-term liability of $11.0 million for awards relating to the Plans. We had a current
liability of $12.6 million and a long-term liability of $3.7 million at December 31, 2007.
