This excerpt taken from the ALTH 10-K filed Mar 1, 2010. Manufacturing The production of FOLOTYN employs small molecule organic chemistry procedures standard for the pharmaceutical industry. We outsource the manufacturing of FOLOTYN to third-party manufacturers. We have arrangements with one third-party manufacturer to produce FOLOTYN bulk drug substance and two third-party manufacturers to produce FOLOTYN formulated drug product. Two of these third-party manufacturers supplied FOLOTYN drug product for our commercial sales commencing in the fourth quarter of 2009. We believe our third-party manufacturers have the capability to meet our future clinical trial and commercial requirements, although we cannot be assured of this. We are in the process of establishing additional suppliers for the commercial production of FOLOTYN bulk drug substance and formulated drug product. Prior to receiving FDA approval of FOLOTYN, all costs related to purchases of the active pharmaceutical ingredient and the manufacturing of FOLOTYN were recorded as research and development expense. As such, we have established supplies of FOLOTYN bulk drug substance and formulated drug product that are not recorded on our balance sheet as inventory. We plan to continue to outsource manufacturing responsibilities for FOLOTYN and any additional future product candidates. We believe this manufacturing strategy allows us to direct our financial and managerial resources to the development and commercialization of products rather than to the establishment of a manufacturing infrastructure. We believe it also enables us to minimize fixed costs and capital expenditures, while gaining access to advanced manufacturing process capabilities and expertise. However, if our third party suppliers become unable or unwilling to provide sufficient future drug supply or meet regulatory requirements relating to the manufacture of pharmaceutical agents, we would be forced to incur additional expenses to secure alternative third party manufacturing arrangements and may suffer delays in our ability to conduct clinical trials or commercialize FOLOTYN or future products. These excerpts taken from the ALTH 10-K filed Mar 3, 2009. Manufacturing The production of pralatrexate and RH1 employ small molecule organic chemistry procedures standard for the pharmaceutical industry. We plan to continue to outsource manufacturing responsibilities for these and any additional future products, and we intend to select and rely, at least initially, on single source suppliers to manufacture each of our product candidates. We believe this manufacturing strategy allows us to direct our financial and managerial resources to the development and commercialization of products rather than to the establishment of a manufacturing infrastructure. 10 We believe it also enables us to minimize fixed costs and capital expenditures, while gaining access to advanced manufacturing process capabilities and expertise.

Pralatrexate We have entered into arrangements with one third-party manufacturer to produce pralatrexate bulk drug substance and another third-party manufacturer to produce pralatrexate formulated drug product for use in our clinical development programs. We believe these third-party manufacturers have the capability to meet our requirements for all future clinical trial requirements. As we pursue FDA approval to market pralatrexate for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL, we will seek to establish appropriate commercial supply arrangements for the production of pralatrexate bulk drug substance and formulated drug product. RH1 We have entered into arrangements with one third party manufacturer to produce RH1 bulk drug substance and another third party manufacturer to produce RH1 formulated drug product for use in our clinical development programs. We believe these third party manufacturers have the capability to meet our requirements for any future clinical trials, if any, involving RH1.

The production of EFAPROXYN, PDX and RH1 employ small molecule organic chemistry procedures standard for the industry. We plan to continue to outsource manufacturing responsibilities for 15 these and any additional future products, and we intend to select and rely, at least initially, on single source suppliers to manufacture each of our product candidates. This manufacturing strategy allows us to direct our financial and managerial resources to the development and commercialization of products rather than to the establishment of a manufacturing infrastructure.

However, if our third party suppliers become unable or unwilling to provide sufficient future drug supply or meet regulatory requirements relating to the manufacture of pharmaceutical agents, we would be forced to incur additional expenses to secure alternative third party manufacturing arrangements. EFAPROXYN In June 2005, we entered into a long-term manufacturing agreement with Hovione FarmaCiencia SA, or Hovione, for the supply of EFAPROXYN bulk drug substance, efaproxiral sodium. In December 2003, we entered into a long-term development and supply agreement with Baxter Healthcare Corporation, or Baxter, for the supply of EFAPROXYN formulated drug product, efaproxiral injection. Hovione is an established contract manufacturer with experience in manufacturing bulk drug substances for use in injectable formulations. Hovione successfully validated the process for efaproxiral sodium in 2001. Under the terms of our agreement, Hovione is committed to manufacture and supply us with sufficient quantities of efaproxiral sodium to support our anticipated requirements for both the clinical development and commercialization phases of production. After manufacture, efaproxiral sodium is formulated into the finished drug product, efaproxiral injection, by Baxter. Baxter has significant experience in the manufacture of large volume injectables of this type. Under the terms of our agreement, Baxter has agreed to manufacture sufficient quantities of efaproxiral injection to support our clinical and anticipated commercial requirements. PDX We have entered into arrangements with two third party manufacturers to produce PDX bulk drug substance and formulated drug product for use in our clinical development programs. We believe these third party manufacturers have the capability to meet our requirements for all future clinical trial requirements. As we continue to advance our PDX development program, we will seek to establish appropriate commercial supply arrangements for the production of PDX bulk drug substance and formulated drug product. RH1 We have entered into an agreement with a third party manufacturer for the production of RH1 bulk drug substance, and are in the process of selecting a third party manufacturer for the production of RH1 formulated drug product for use in our clinical development programs.

This excerpt taken from the ALTH 10-Q filed Aug 9, 2005. Manufacturing means any pharmaceutical procedures conducted
to produce the API, including processing, packing, labeling, holding, testing,
and quality control of the API, the Raw Materials and In-Process API, and
actions taken to comply with Applicable Laws and Regulations and this Agreement
(e.g., validation of process,
facilities, equipment, methods and operations).
