(1) Compliance with Registration Requirements. The Securities have been duly registered under the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement. Each of the Initial Registration Statement and any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement has become effective under the 1933 Act and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Initial Registration Statement or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement has been issued under the 1933 Act and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, are contemplated by the Commission, and any request on the part of the Commission for additional information has been complied with.

At the respective times the Initial Registration Statement, any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto became or become effective, at each time (if any) that any Rule 430C Information shall be deemed to be part of and included in the Registration Statement, and at the Closing Date (and, if any Option Securities are purchased, at the applicable Option Closing Date), the Initial Registration Statement, any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement and any amendments and supplements thereto complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. Neither the Prospectus nor any amendments or supplements thereto, as of their respective dates, at the Closing Date (or, if any Option Securities are purchased, at the applicable Option Closing Date), or at any time when a prospectus is required by applicable law to be delivered in connection with sales of Securities (including, without limitation, pursuant to Rule 173(d)), included or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Each preliminary prospectus and prospectus filed as part of the Registration Statement as originally filed or as part of any amendment thereto or filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act in connection with the offering of the Securities (including, without limitation, the Prospectus and the Statutory Prospectus) complied and will comply when so filed in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and each preliminary prospectus and prospectus (including, without limitation, the Prospectus and the Statutory Prospectus) and any amendments or supplements thereto delivered to the Underwriters (electronically or otherwise) for use in connection with the offering of the Securities was and will be identical to the electronically transmitted copy thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to XXXXX, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

As of the Applicable Time, neither (a) any Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectuses issued at or prior to the Applicable Time, the Statutory Prospectus and the information included on Exhibit G hereto, all considered together (collectively, the “First General Disclosure Package”) nor (b) if applicable, any Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectuses issued at or prior to the Applicable Time, the Statutory Prospectus and the Issuer Pricing Free Writing Prospectus, all considered together (collectively, the “Second General Disclosure Package;” the First General Disclosure Package and the Second General Disclosure Package (if any) are hereinafter called, collectively, the “General

Disclosure Packages” and, individually, a “General Disclosure Package,” provided that, if an Issuer Pricing Free Writing Prospectus is not prepared in connection with the offering contemplated by this Agreement, then all references to the “Second General Disclosure Package” shall be disregarded and all references to the “General Disclosure Packages” and any “General Disclosure Package” shall be deemed to mean the First General Disclosure Package, mutatis mutandis) nor (c) any individual Issuer Limited Use Free Writing Prospectus, when considered together with the First General Disclosure Package, included or will include any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus delivered to the Underwriters (electronically or otherwise) for use in connection with the offering of the Securities (other than any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that, pursuant to Rule 433, is not required to be filed with the Commission) was and will be identical to the electronically transmitted copy thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to XXXXX, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

The representations and warranties set forth in the three immediately preceding paragraphs shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any General Disclosure Package made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein.

The Company has made available a “bona fide electronic road show” (as defined in Rule 433(h)(5)) in compliance with Rule 433(d)(8)(ii) such that no filing with the Commission of any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433(h)) is required in connection with the offering of the Securities.

Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of its date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the public offering and sale of the Securities, did not, does not and will not include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Statutory Prospectus or the Prospectus and any other preliminary or other prospectus relating to the offering that has not been superseded or modified.

At the time of filing the Initial Registration Statement, any 462(b) Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto and at the date hereof, the Company was not, is not and will not be an “ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405, in each case without taking into account any determination made by the Commission pursuant to paragraph (2) of the definition of such term in Rule 405.

(2) Pre-Closing Transactions. The Pre-Closing Transactions have been or will be consummated, as the case may be, prior to the respective dates contemplated by the ? paragraph of this Agreement (or such earlier dates as may be contemplated by the Statutory Prospectus or Prospectus) on the terms contemplated by this Agreement, the Statutory Prospectus and the Prospectus, and the Amendments and Waivers are in full force and effect.

to own or lease its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Packages and the Prospectus; and the Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure so to qualify or to be in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(7) Subsidiaries. The Company has no subsidiaries.

The authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company as of the date of this Agreement is as set forth in the column entitled “Actual” and in the corresponding line items under the caption “Capitalization” in the Statutory Prospectus and in the Prospectus and, immediately prior to the purchase of the Initial Securities by the Underwriters at the Closing Date and each Option Closing Date (if any), the authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company will be as set forth in the column entitled “Pro Forma” and in the corresponding line items under such caption (in each case except for subsequent issuances, if any, pursuant to this Agreement, pursuant to the 2005 Plan referred to in the Statutory Prospectus and in the Prospectus or pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants referred to in the Statutory Prospectus and in the Prospectus). The shares of issued and outstanding Capital Stock, options and warrants of the Company have been duly authorized and the shares of issued and outstanding Capital Stock of the Company have been validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable; and none of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock of the Company was issued in violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights of any securityholder of the Company or any other person.

(10) Authorization of Securities. The Securities have been duly authorized for issuance and sale to the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement and, when issued and delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement against payment of the consideration set forth herein, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; no holder of the Securities is or will be subject to personal liability solely by reason of being such a holder; and the issuance and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is not subject to any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights of any securityholder of the Company or any other person.

(11) Description of Securities. The Common Stock, the Series A Preferred Stock, the authorized but unissued Preferred Stock, and the Company’s charter and bylaws conform in all material respects to all of the respective statements relating thereto contained in the Registration Statement, each General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and such statements conform to the rights set forth in the respective instruments and agreements defining the same.

(12) Absence of Defaults and Conflicts. The Company is not in violation of its Organizational Documents or in default in the performance or observance of any

obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any Company Document, except (solely in the case of Company Documents other than Subject Instruments) for such defaults that would not result in a Material Adverse Effect. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Packages and the Prospectus (including the issuance and sale of the Securities and the use of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities as described in the Statutory Prospectus and Prospectus under the caption “Use of Proceeds”) and compliance by the Company with its obligations under this Agreement do not and will not, whether with or without the giving of notice or passage of time or both, conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default or Repayment Event under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any property or assets of the Company pursuant to, any Company Documents, except (solely in the case of Company Documents other than Subject Instruments) for such conflicts, breaches, defaults or Liens that would not result in a Material Adverse Effect, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the Organizational Documents of the Company or any applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree of any government, government instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its assets, properties or operations, except for such violations of any such law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(13) Absence of Labor Dispute. No labor dispute with the employees of the Company exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is imminent, which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(14) Absence of Proceedings. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or brought by any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, now pending, or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, against or affecting the Company which is required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement (other than as disclosed therein), or which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the properties or assets thereof or the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the LSLLC Agreements; the aggregate of all pending legal or governmental proceedings to which the Company is a party or of which any of its property or assets is the subject which are not described in the Registration Statement, including ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(15) Accuracy of Descriptions and Exhibits. The information in the Statutory Prospectus and in the Prospectus under the captions “Risk Factors—There is uncertainty as to the coverage that may be available and the reimbursement rates that may be established for our product candidates. Any failure to obtain third-party coverage or an adequate level of reimbursement for our product candidates will likely have a material adverse effect on our business,” “Risk Factors—The patent covering the chemical composition of talaporfin sodium has expired in the United States and most foreign countries and we will therefore have to seek to protect our product candidates through a

combination of patents on other aspects of our technology, trade secrets and through non-patent methods, which may not prove effective,” “Risk Factors—Light Sciences Corporation has licensed to us all of the patents and most of the patent applications and other intellectual property that are critical to our business. Any events or circumstances that result in the termination or limitation of our rights under any of the agreements between us and Light Sciences Corporation, or under Light Sciences Corporation’s license to use talaporfin sodium, could have a material adverse effect on our business,” “Risk Factors – Following this offering, a substantial number of our shares of common stock will become available for sale in the public market, which may cause the market price of our stock to decline,” “Risk Factors—Antitakeover provisions of Washington law, our articles of incorporation and our bylaws may prevent or delay an acquisition of us that shareholders may consider favorable or may prevent or delay attempts to replace or remove our management that could be beneficial to our shareholders,” “Business—Patents and Proprietary Rights,” “Business—Technology In-Licenses and Other Agreements,” “Business—Legal Proceedings,” “Management—Board Committees and Corporate Governance,” “Management—Employment Agreements, Termination of Employment and Change-in-Control Arrangements,” “Management—Incentive Plans,” “Management—Limitations on Liability and Indemnification,” “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions,” “Description of Capital Stock,” “Shares Eligible for Future Sale,” and “U.S. Federal Tax Considerations for Non-U.S. Holders” and the information in the Registration Statement under Items 14 and 15, in each case to the extent that it constitutes matters of law, summaries of legal matters, summaries of provisions of the Company’s charter or bylaws, any Company Documents or any other documents, instruments or agreements referred to therein or summaries of legal proceedings referred to therein, is correct in all material respects; and there are no franchises, contracts, indentures, mortgages, deeds of trust, loan or credit agreements, bonds, notes, debentures, evidences of indebtedness, leases or other documents, instruments or agreements required to be described or referred to in the Registration Statement, the Statutory Prospectus or the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement which have not been so described and filed as required.

(16) Possession of Intellectual Property. The Company owns or possesses or has the right to use on reasonable terms all patents, patent rights, patent applications, licenses, inventions, copyrights, know-how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures), trademarks, service marks, trade names, service names and other intellectual property (collectively, “Intellectual Property”) necessary to carry on its business as described in the Statutory Prospectus and the Prospectus and as proposed to be conducted; and the Company has not received any notice and is not otherwise aware of any infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any Intellectual Property or of any facts or circumstances which would render any Intellectual Property invalid or inadequate to protect the interest of the Company therein, and which infringement or conflict (if the subject of any unfavorable decision, ruling or finding) or invalidity or inadequacy, individually or in the aggregate, would result in a Material Adverse Effect. All former and current employees of the Company (and, to the Company’s knowledge, all other agents, consultants and contractors of the Company who contributed to or participated in the conception or development of the Intellectual Property for the

Company) have executed written contracts or agreements that assign to the Company all rights to any inventions, improvements, discoveries or information relating to the business of the Company, including without limitation all Intellectual Property owned, controlled by or in the possession of the Company. To the knowledge of the Company, there is no unauthorized use, infringement or misappropriation of any of the Intellectual Property by any third party, employee or former employee.

(17) Absence of Further Requirements. (A) No filing with, or authorization, approval, consent, license, order, registration, qualification or decree of, any court or governmental authority or agency, domestic or foreign, (B) no authorization, approval, vote or other consent of any shareholder (including, without limitation, any holder of Preferred Stock) or creditor of the Company, (C) no waiver or consent under any Subject Instrument, and (D) no authorization, approval, vote or other consent of any other person or entity, is necessary or required for the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of this Agreement, for the offering, issuance, sale or delivery of the Securities hereunder, or for the consummation of any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in each case on the terms contemplated by the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Packages and the Prospectus, except such as have been already obtained under the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1934 Act or the 1934 Act Regulations or such as may be required under state or foreign securities laws or by the NASD or the Nasdaq Global Market.

(19) Title to Property. The Company has good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by it and good title to all other properties and assets owned by it, in each case, free and clear of all mortgages, pledges, liens, security interests, claims, restrictions or encumbrances of any kind except such as (a) are described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Packages and the Prospectus or (b) do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company; all real property, buildings and other improvements, and equipment and other property held under lease or sublease by the Company is held by it under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases or subleases, as the case may be, with,

SECTION 2. Sale and Delivery to Underwriters; Closing.

(a) Initial Securities. On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to sell to each Underwriter, and each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase from the Company, at the price of $l per share (the “Purchase Price”), the number of Initial Securities set forth in Exhibit A opposite the name of such Underwriter, plus any additional number of Initial Securities which such Underwriter may become obligated to purchase pursuant to the provisions of Section 10 hereof, subject to such adjustments among the Underwriters as the Representatives in their sole discretion shall make to eliminate any sales or purchases of fractional Securities. The price at which the Securities shall initially be offered to the public is $l per share.

(b) Option Securities. In addition, on the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company hereby

grants an option to the Underwriters, severally and not jointly, to purchase any or all of the Option Securities at a price per share equal to the Purchase Price referred to in Section 2(a) above; provided that the price per share for any Option Securities shall be reduced by an amount per share equal to any dividends or distributions declared, paid or payable by the Company on the Initial Securities but not payable on such Option Securities. The option hereby granted will expire at the close of business on the 30th day after the date hereof and may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time only for the purpose of covering over-allotments which may be made in connection with the offering and distribution of the Initial Securities upon notice by the Representatives to the Company setting forth the number of Option Securities as to which the several Underwriters are then exercising the option and the time and date of payment and delivery for such Option Securities. Any such time and date of delivery (an “Option Closing Date”) shall be determined by the Representatives, but shall not be later than seven full business days after the exercise of said option, nor in any event prior to the Closing Date. If the option is exercised as to all or any portion of the Option Securities, the Company will sell to the Underwriters that number of Option Securities then being purchased and each of the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, will purchase that proportion of the total number of Option Securities then being purchased which the number of Initial Securities set forth in Exhibit A opposite the name of such Underwriter, plus any additional number of Initial Securities which such Underwriter may become obligated to purchase pursuant to the provisions of Section 10 hereof, bears to the total number of Initial Securities, subject in each case to such adjustments as the Representatives in their discretion shall make to eliminate any sales or purchases of fractional shares.

(c) Payment. Payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of certificates for, the Initial Securities shall be made at the offices of Xxxxxxx Coie LLP, 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Representatives and the Company, at 9:00 A.M. (New York time) on October l, 2006 (unless postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10), or such other time not later than ten business days after such date as shall be agreed upon by the Representatives and the Company (such time and date of payment and delivery being herein called “Closing Date”).

In addition, in the event that any or all of the Option Securities are purchased by the Underwriters, payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of certificates for, such Option Securities shall be made at the above-mentioned offices, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Representatives and the Company, on each Option Closing Date as specified in the notice from the Representatives to the Company.

Payment shall be made to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a single bank account designated by the Company, in each case against delivery to the Representatives for the respective accounts of the Underwriters of certificates for the Securities to be purchased by them. It is understood that each Underwriter has authorized the Representatives, for its account, to accept delivery of, receipt for, and make payment of the purchase price for, the Initial Securities and the Option Securities, if any, which it has agreed to purchase. Each of Xxxxx and Wachovia, individually and not as representative of the Underwriters, may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment of the purchase price for the Initial Securities or the Option Securities, if any, to be purchased by any Underwriter whose

funds have not been received by the Closing Date or the relevant Option Closing Date, as the case may be, but such payment shall not relieve such Underwriter from its obligations hereunder.

(d) Denominations; Registration. Certificates for the Initial Securities and the Option Securities, if any, shall be in such denominations and registered in such names as the Representatives may request in writing at least one full business day before the Closing Date or the relevant Option Closing Date, as the case may be. The certificates for the Initial Securities and the Option Securities, if any, will be made available for examination and packaging by the Representatives in The City of New York not later than noon (New York City time) on the business day prior to the Closing Date or the relevant Option Closing Date, as the case may be.

(a) Compliance with Securities Regulations and Commission Requests. The Company, subject to Section 3(b), will comply with the requirements of Rule 430A and Rule 433 and will notify the Representatives immediately, and confirm the notice in writing, (i) when the Initial Registration Statement, any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement shall become effective, or when the Statutory Prospectus, any other preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto shall have been filed, (ii) of the receipt of any comments from the Commission, (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Statutory Prospectus, any other preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or for additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Statutory Prospectus, any other of any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or of the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes, or of any examination pursuant to Section 8(e) of the 1933 Act concerning the Registration Statement and (v) if the Company becomes the subject of a proceeding under Section 8A of the 1933 Act in connection with the offering of the Securities. The Company will make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any stop order or the suspension of qualification of the Securities for offering or sale and, if any stop order is issued or suspension of qualification of the Securities for offering or sale occurs, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment.

(b) Filing of Amendments. The Company will give the Representatives notice of its intention to file or prepare any amendment to the Registration Statement (including any filing under Rule 462(b)) or any amendment, supplement or revision to the prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time it became effective, the Statutory Prospectus, any other preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, whether pursuant to the 1933 Act or otherwise, and will furnish the Representatives with copies of any such documents within a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will not file or use any such document to which the Representatives or counsel for the Underwriters shall object.

(c) Delivery of Registration Statements. The Company has furnished or will deliver to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, signed copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto (including exhibits filed therewith) and signed copies of all consents and certificates of experts. The copies of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto furnished to the Underwriters will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to XXXXX, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(d) Delivery of Prospectuses. The Company has delivered to each Underwriter, without charge, as many copies of each preliminary prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses (excluding any Exempt Electronic Road Show) prepared prior to the date of this Agreement as such Underwriter reasonably requested, and the Company hereby consents to the use of such copies for purposes permitted by the 1933 Act. The Company will furnish to each Underwriter, without charge, such number of copies of the documents constituting any General Disclosure Package, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (excluding any Exempt Electronic Road Show) prepared on or after the date of this Agreement and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto as such Underwriter may reasonably request. The Statutory Prospectus, each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (excluding any Exempt Electronic Road Show) and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto furnished to the Underwriters was, is or will be, as the case may be, identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to XXXXX, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(e) Continued Compliance with Securities Laws. The Company will comply with the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the Securities as contemplated in this Agreement and the Prospectus. If at any time when a prospectus is required by the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations to be delivered in connection with sales of the Securities (including, without limitation, pursuant to Rule 172 or 173), any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which it is necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters or for the Company, to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement any General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus in order that such General Disclosure Package on the Prospectus, as the case may be, will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to a purchaser, or if it shall be necessary, in the opinion of such counsel, at any such time to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement any General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus in order to comply with the requirements of the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations, the Company will promptly prepare and file with the Commission, subject to Section 3(b) hereof, such amendment or supplement as may be necessary to correct such statement or omission or to make the Registration Statement, such General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus comply with such requirements, and the Company will furnish to the Underwriters such number of copies of such amendment or supplement as the Underwriters may reasonably request. If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or

development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted, conflicts or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement or included, includes or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Representatives and the Company will, subject to Section 3(b) hereof, promptly amend or supplement such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.

In each jurisdiction in which the Securities have been so qualified, the Company will file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of such jurisdiction to continue such qualification in effect for a period of not less than one year from the date of this Agreement.

(g) Rule 158. The Company will timely file such reports pursuant to the 1934 Act as are necessary in order to make generally available to its securityholders as soon as practicable an earnings statement for the purposes of, and to provide to the Underwriters the benefits contemplated by, the last paragraph of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act.

(h) Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the net proceeds received by it from the sale of the Securities in the manner specified in the Statutory Prospectus and Prospectus under “Use of Proceeds.”

(i) Listing. The Company will use its best efforts to effect the listing of the Securities on the Nasdaq National Market.

(j) Restriction on Sale of Securities. During the period beginning on and including the date of this Agreement through and including the date that is the 180^th day after the date of this Agreement (as such period may be extended pursuant to the provisions set forth in the next sentence, the “Lock-Up Period”), the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, directly or indirectly:

(i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of Common Stock or other Capital Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or other Capital Stock,

(iii) enter into any swap or other agreement, arrangement or transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any of the economic consequence of ownership of any Common Stock or other Capital Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any Common Stock or other Capital Stock,

(1) during the last 17 days of such 180 day period the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs, or

(2) prior to the expiration of such 180 day period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of such 180 day period,

the Lock-Up Period shall be extended and the restrictions imposed by this Section 3(j) shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event, as the case may be, unless the Representatives waive, in writing, such extension.

long as the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock so issued plus (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion, exercise and exchange of all convertible, exchangeable or exercisable securities so issued does not in the aggregate exceed the number of shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar transactions) equal to 8% of the sum of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of June 30, 2006, plus (b) the number of shares of Common Stock issued and sold to the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement (including any Option Securities issued and sold to the Underwriters);

provided that, in the case of any issuance described in clause (4) above, the recipient executes and delivers to the Representatives, acting on behalf of the Underwriters, not later than one business day prior to such issuance, a written agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit C hereto.

At the request of the Underwriters, the Company will direct the transfer agent to place a stop transfer restriction upon such Securities for such period of time.

(d) Actions against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. Counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected as follows: counsel to the Underwriters and each

person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall be selected by the Representatives; and, counsel to the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall be selected by the Company. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for the Underwriters and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, and the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, in each case in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 6 or Section 7 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(e) Settlement Without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 6(a)(ii) or Section 6(b)(ii), as the case may be, effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

SECTION 7. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party

shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and LSLLC on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and LSLLC on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Company and LSLLC on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Securities as set forth on such cover.

The relative fault of the Company and LSLLC on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company, LSLLC and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, LSLLC shall not be required to contribute in respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or in the Statutory Prospectus, any other preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) (i) of any fact, circumstance or other matter as of a date on or after the Spin Off Date (other than facts,

circumstances or other matters specifically relating to LSLLC or any of its subsidiaries, the LSLLC Agreements or the Meiji Agreement) or (ii) in any financial statements or financial information contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or in the Statutory Prospectus, any other preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

For purposes of this Section 7, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the number of Initial Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Exhibit A hereto and not joint.

SECTION 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company or LSLLC submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or controlling person, or by or on behalf of the Company or LSLLC, and shall survive delivery of the Securities to the Underwriters.

SECTION 9. Termination of Agreement.

(a) Termination; General. The Representatives may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company, at any time on or prior to Closing Date (and, if any Option Securities are to be purchased on an Option Closing Date which occurs after the Closing Date, the Representatives may terminate the obligations of the several Underwriters to purchase such Option Securities, by notice to the Company, at any time on or prior to such Option Closing Date) (i) if there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus or any General Disclosure Package, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the results of operations, business affairs or business prospects of the Company, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the Nasdaq Global Market, or if trading generally on the American Stock Exchange or the NYSE or in the Nasdaq Global Market has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for

prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, the NASD or any other governmental authority, or a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or in Europe, or (iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities.

(b) Liabilities.

SECTION 10. Default by One or More of the Underwriters.

(a) if the number of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the number of Securities to be purchased on such date, each of the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters; or

(b) if the number of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the number of Securities to be purchased on such date, this Agreement or, with respect to any Option Closing Date which occurs after the Closing Date, the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase and of the Company to sell the Option Securities that were to have been purchased and sold on such Option Closing Date, shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter.

No action taken pursuant to this Section 10 shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of its default.

In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement or, in the case of an Option Closing Date which is after the Closing Date, which does not result in a termination of the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase and the Company to sell the relevant Option Securities, as the case may be, the Representatives shall have the right to postpone Closing Date or the relevant Option Closing Date, as the case may be, for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements. As used herein, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section 10.

As Representatives of the several Underwriters

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This agreement is being delivered to you in connection with the proposed Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) between Light Sciences Oncology, Inc., a Washington corporation (the “Company”), Xxxxx and Company, LLC (“Cowen”) and Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC (“Wachovia”), as representatives of a group of underwriters (the “Underwriters”) to be named therein, and the other parties thereto (if any), relating to a proposed underwritten public offering of common stock (the “Common Stock”) of the Company.

In order to induce you and the other Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement, and in light of the benefits that the offering of the Common Stock will confer upon the undersigned in its capacity as a securityholder and/or an officer, director or employee of the Company, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees with each Underwriter that, during the period beginning on and including the date of the Underwriting Agreement through and including the date that is the 180th day after the date of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of Cowen and Wachovia, directly or indirectly:

(i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of Common Stock, any shares of the Company’s preferred stock or other capital stock (collectively, “Capital Stock”) or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or other Capital Stock, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition, or

C-1

(ii) file or cause the filing of any registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), with respect to any shares of Common Stock or other Capital Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any Common Stock or other Capital Stock, other than any registration statement filed to register shares of Common Stock to be sold to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, or

(iii) enter into any swap or other agreement, arrangement or transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Common Stock or other Capital Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any Common Stock or other Capital Stock,

whether any transaction described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock, other Capital Stock, other securities, in cash or otherwise. Moreover, if:

	(1)		during the last 17 days of the Lock-Up Period, the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs, or

	(2)		prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the Lock-Up Period,

the Lock-Up Period shall be extended and the restrictions imposed by this agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event, as the case may be, unless Cowen and Wachovia waive, in writing, such extension.

The restrictions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph shall not apply to:

(1) if the undersigned is a natural person, any transfers made by the undersigned (a) as a bona fide gift to any member of the immediate family (as defined below) of the undersigned or to a trust the beneficiaries of which are exclusively the undersigned or members of the undersigned’s immediate family, (b) by will or intestate succession upon the death of the undersigned or (c) as a bona fide gift to a charity or educational institution,

(2) if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity, any transfers to any shareholder, partner or member of, or owner of a similar equity interest in, the undersigned, as the case may be, if, in any such case, such transfer is not for value, and

(3) if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity, any transfer made by the undersigned (a) in connection with the sale or other bona fide transfer in a single transaction of all or substantially all of the undersigned’s capital stock, partnership interests, membership interests or other similar equity interests, as the case may be, or all or substantially all of the undersigned’s assets, in any such case not undertaken for the purpose of avoiding the restrictions imposed by

C-2

this agreement or (b) to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity so long as the transferee is an affiliate (as defined below) of the undersigned and such transfer is not for value;

provided, however, that in the case of any transfer described in clause (1), (2) or (3) above, it shall be a condition to the transfer that (A) the transferee executes and delivers to Cowen and Wachovia, acting on behalf of the Underwriters, not later than one business day prior to such transfer, a written agreement, in substantially the form of this agreement (it being understood that any references to “immediate family” in the agreement executed by such transferee shall expressly refer only to the immediate family of the undersigned and not to the immediate family of the transferee) and otherwise satisfactory in form and substance to Cowen and Wachovia, and (B) if the undersigned is required to file a report under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock or other Capital Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or other Capital Stock during the Lock-Up Period (as the same may be extended as described above), the undersigned shall include a statement in such report to the effect that, in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (1) above, such transfer is being made as a gift or by will or intestate succession or, in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (2) above, such transfer is being made to a shareholder, partner or member of, or owner of a similar equity interest in, the undersigned and is not a transfer for value or, in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (3) above, such transfer is being made either (a) in connection with the sale or other bona fide transfer in a single transaction of all or substantially all of the undersigned’s capital stock, partnership interests, membership interests or other similar equity interests, as the case may be, or all or substantially all of the undersigned’s assets or (b) to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity that is an affiliate of the undersigned and such transfer is not for value. For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” shall mean a spouse, child, grandchild or other lineal descendant (including by adoption), father, mother, brother or sister of the undersigned; and “affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933.

The undersigned further agrees that (i) it will not, during the Lock-Up Period (as the same may be extended as described above), make any demand or request for or exercise any right with respect to the registration under the 1933 Act of any shares of Common Stock or other Capital Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or other Capital Stock, and (ii) the Company may, with respect to any Common Stock or other Capital Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or other Capital Stock owned or held (of record or beneficially) by the undersigned, cause the transfer agent or other registrar to enter stop transfer instructions and implement stop transfer procedures with respect to such securities during the Lock-Up Period (as the same may be extended as described above).

In addition, the undersigned hereby waives any and all notice requirements and rights with respect to the registration of any securities pursuant to any agreement, instrument, understanding or otherwise, including any registration rights agreement or similar agreement, to which the undersigned is a party or under which the undersigned is entitled to any right or benefit and any tag-along rights, co-sale rights or other rights to have any securities included in the offering contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement or sold in connection with the sale of

C-3

Common Stock pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, provided that such waiver shall apply only to the public offering of Common Stock pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and each registration statement filed under the 1933 Act in connection therewith.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this agreement and that this agreement has been duly authorized (if the undersigned is not a natural person), executed and delivered by the undersigned and is a valid and binding agreement of the undersigned. This agreement and all authority herein conferred are irrevocable and shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned (if a natural person) and shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.

If the Underwriting Agreement is not executed by the parties thereto prior to December 31, 2006, this agreement shall automatically terminate and become null and void.

The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that whether or not any public offering of Common Stock actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions.

(9) The Initial Registration Statement has been declared effective, and any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement has become effective, under the 1933 Act; the Prospectus has been filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) (without reference to Rule 424(b)(8)); any required filing of each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus pursuant to Rule 433 has been made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 433(d); and, to our knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Initial Registration Statement or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement has been issued under the 1933 Act and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or threatened by the Commission.

(13) The information in the Statutory Prospectus and the Prospectus under the captions “Risk Factors—Light Sciences Corporation has licensed to us all of the patents and most of the patent applications and other intellectual property that are critical to our business. Any events or circumstances that result in the termination or limitation of our rights under any of the agreements between us and Light Sciences Corporation, or under Light Sciences Corporation’s license to use talaporfin sodium, could have a material adverse effect on our business,” “Risk Factors—Following this offering, a substantial number of our shares of common stock will become available for sale in the public market, which may cause the market price of our stock to decline,” “Risk Factors—Antitakeover provisions of Washington law, our articles of incorporation and our bylaws may prevent or delay an acquisition of us that shareholders may consider favorable or may prevent or delay attempts to replace or remove our management that could be beneficial to our shareholders,” “Business—Technology In-Licenses and Other Agreements,” “Business—Legal Proceedings,” “Management—Board Committees and

(14) (A) No filing with, or authorization, approval, consent, license, order, registration, qualification or decree of, any court or governmental authority or agency, (B) no authorization, approval, vote or other consent of any shareholder (including, without limitation, any holder of Preferred Stock) of the Company, and (C) no waiver or consent under any Subject Instrument, is necessary or required in connection with the authorization, execution, delivery or performance of the Underwriting Agreement, for the offering, issuance, sale or delivery of the Securities, or for the consummation of any of the other transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, in each case on the terms contemplated by the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Packages and the Prospectus, except (A) such as have been already obtained under the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1934 Act or the 1934 Act Regulations or from the shareholders of the Company or (B) such as may be required under state or foreign securities or “blue sky” laws or by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., as to which we express no opinion.

(15) The execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Underwriting Agreement, the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Packages and the Prospectus (including the issuance and sale of the Securities and the use of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities as described in the Statutory Prospectus and the Prospectus under the caption “Use Of Proceeds”) and compliance by the Company with its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, do not and will not, whether with or without the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default or Repayment Event under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any property or assets of the Company pursuant to, (x) any Subject Instrument or (y) to our knowledge, any other Company Document, except (solely in the case of Company Documents other than Subject Instruments) for such conflicts, breaches, defaults or Liens that would not have a Material Adverse Effect, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or bylaws of the Company or any applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree, known to us, of any government, government instrumentality or court having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties, assets or operations.

(16) The Company is not and, immediately after giving effect to the issuance and sale of the Securities and the application of the net proceeds therefrom as described in the Statutory Prospectus and the Prospectus, will not be an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the 1940 Act.

(17) There are no securityholders of the Company with co-sale rights or other similar rights to have any securities (debt or equity) included in the offering contemplated by the

D-3

Underwriting Agreement or sold in connection with the sale of the Securities by the Company pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement under any of the Shareholder Documents or the Company’s charter or by laws (except such rights as have been validly waived).

In the course of our participation, as counsel to the Company, in the preparation of the Initial Registration Statement, any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Packages and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, we have examined information available to us, including legal records, documents and proceedings, and have attended conferences with, among others, representatives of the Underwriters, officers and other representatives of the Company and the independent auditors for the Company, at which conferences the contents of the Initial Registration Statement, any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Packages and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto were discussed. Without undertaking to determine independently or assuming any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in these documents (except to the extent set forth in paragraphs (5) and (13) above), nothing has come to our attention that would lead us to believe that:

(a) the Initial Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, at the time the Initial Registration Statement or any such amendment became effective, or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, at the time such Rule 462(b) Registration Statement became effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or

(b) either General Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or

(c) the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the date of the Prospectus, as of the date of any such amendment or supplement or on the date of this letter, included or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,

except in each case that we make no statement and express no belief with respect to financial statements and schedules and other financial or statistical data included in or omitted from the Initial Registration Statement, any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, any General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto.

In the event that such opinion shall define the term “Registration Statement,” “Initial Registration Statement,” “Rule 462(b) Registration Statement,” “Statutory Prospectus,” “Prospectus” or “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus” (rather than indicating that such terms, as used in such opinion, have the respective meanings given thereto in the Underwriting Agreement), such opinion shall define the terms “Registration Statement,” “Initial Registration Statement” and “Rule 462(b) Registration Statement” to include the Rule 430A Information and any Rule 430C Information, shall define the term “Statutory Prospectus” as the Statutory Prospectus

D-4

in the form furnished to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offering of the Securities, shall define the term “Prospectus” as the Prospectus in the form furnished to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offering of the Securities and shall define “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus” (or any similar term) as the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in the form furnished to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offering of the Securities.

In rendering such opinion, Company Counsel shall state that such opinion covers matters arising under the laws of the State of Washington and the federal laws of the United States of America. In rendering such opinion, Company Counsel may rely, as to matters of fact (but not as to legal conclusions), to the extent they deem proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and public officials. Such opinion shall state that, insofar as such opinion relates to any agreement or instrument that by its express terms is governed by any law other than the laws of the State of Washington or the federal laws of the United States of America, such counsel has assumed that the laws of such other jurisdiction are, to the extent relevant to such opinion, identical to the laws of the State of Washington. Such opinion shall not state that it is to be governed or qualified by, or that it is otherwise subject to, any treatise, written policy or other document relating to legal opinions, including, without limitation, the Legal Opinion Accord of the ABA Section of Business Law (1991).

FORM OF OPINION OF SPECIAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COUNSEL

(1) Based on the information brought to our attention by the Company, Light Sciences LLC and the inventors (the “Inventors”) of the inventions claimed in the Core Patents, to our knowledge, all information material to the patentability of such inventions known to the Inventors, the Company or Light Sciences LLC which is required to be disclosed has been disclosed to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) in accordance with 37 C.F.R. Section 1.56; to our knowledge, all information submitted to the USPTO with respect to the Core Patents, and the prosecution thereof, was and is accurate; and to our knowledge, none of the Inventors, the Company or Light Sciences LLC made any misrepresentation or concealed any material information from the USPTO in any of the Core Patents, or in connection with the prosecution thereof, in violation of 37 C.F.R. Section 1.56.

(2) We are not aware of any basis that is reasonably likely to result in a finding that the Company and/or Light Sciences LLC are not listed in the records of the USPTO as the owner of record of the Core Patents described in the Statutory Prospectus or the Prospectus as being owned by the Company and/or Light Sciences LLC, and we have no knowledge of any facts which form a basis for a finding of unenforceability or invalidity of any Core Patents.

(3) To our knowledge, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending (other than proceedings before the USPTO for the pending applications) relating to the Core Patents to which the Company or Light Sciences LLC is a party and, to our knowledge, no such proceedings have been threatened or are contemplated by governmental authorities or others.

(4) The statements in the Registration Statement, the Statutory Prospectus and the Prospectus under the captions “Risk Factors—Our success depends on the protection of our intellectual property rights, particularly the patents that have been licensed and sublicensed to us, and our failure to secure these rights would materially harm our business,” “Risk Factors—The patent covering the chemical composition of talaporfin sodium has expired in the United States and most foreign countries and we will therefore have to seek to protect our product candidates through a combination of patents on other aspects of our technology, trade secrets and through other non-patent methods, which may not prove to be effective,” “Risk Factors—Patent applications may not result in issued patents, and our competitors may commercialize the discoveries we attempt to patent,” “Risk Factors—Third parties may infringe our patents or challenge their validity or enforceability,” “Risk Factors—Issued patents may not provide us with any competitive advantage or provide meaningful protection against competitors,” “Risk Factors—Litigation or other proceedings relating to patent and other intellectual property rights could result in substantial costs and liabilities and prevent us from commercializing our product candidates,” “Risk Factors—We do not have patent protection in certain countries and we may not be able to effectively enforce our intellectual property rights in certain countries, which could significantly erode the market for our product candidates,” and “Business—Patents and Proprietary Rights,” to the extent they relate to the Core Patents or patent law (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Portions”), constitute an accurate summary of the matters referred to therein in all material respects.

E-1

In the course of our assistance in the preparation of the Intellectual Property Portions, we have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company, the Underwriters, other counsel to the Company and counsel to the Underwriters at which the contents of the Intellectual Property Portions were discussed, and although we are not passing upon, and do not assume any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements in the Intellectual Property Portions and have made no independent check or verification thereof (except to the extent provided in paragraph 4 above), on the basis of the foregoing and the information that was disclosed to us no facts have come to our attention that would lead us to believe that (A) the Intellectual Property Portions of the Initial Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, at the time the Initial Registration Statement or any such amendment became effective, or of any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, at the time such Rule 462(b) Registration Statement became effective, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (B) the Intellectual Property Portions of any General Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (C) the Intellectual Property Portions of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the date of the Prospectus, as of the date of any such amendment or supplement or on the date of this letter, included or includes any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(6) (A) No filing with, or authorization, approval, consent, license, order, registration, qualification or decree of, any court or governmental authority or agency, (B) no authorization, approval, vote or other consent of any holder of any limited liability company interests in or capital stock or other securities of LSC or LSLLC or any creditor of LSC or LSLLC, (C) no waiver or consent under any LSLLC Agreement or the Meiji Agreement, and (D) to our knowledge, no authorization, approval, vote or other consent of any other person or entity, (x) was necessary for the LSC Merger (except such as were obtained as and when required) or (y) is necessary or required in connection with the authorization, execution, delivery or

(7) The consummation of the LSC Merger did not, and the execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement and the LSLLC Lock-Up Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Underwriting Agreement by LSLLC and compliance by LSLLC with its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, the LSLLC Lock-Up Agreement, the LSLLC Agreements and the Meiji Agreement do not and will not, whether with or without the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default or Repayment Event under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any property or assets of LSLLC or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to, (x) any LSLLC Agreement or the Meiji Agreement or (y) to our knowledge, any other instrument or agreement to which LSLLC is a party or by which LSLLC is bound, except (solely in the case of instruments and agreements referred to in clause (y) of this paragraph) for such conflicts, breaches, defaults or Liens that would not have a Material Adverse Effect, nor did or will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the Organizational Documents of LSLLC or any applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree, known to us, of any government, government instrumentality or court having jurisdiction over LSLLC or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties, assets or operations.

(8) LSLLC is not, and upon the issuance and sale by the Company of the Securities as contemplated in the Underwriting Agreement and receipt and investment of the proceeds therefrom, LSLLC will not be, an “investment company” as defined in the 0000 Xxx.

(9) Each of the LSLLC Agreements and the Meiji Agreement was duly authorized, executed and delivered by LSLLC or its predecessor LSC and is a valid and binding agreement of LSLLC, enforceable against LSLLC in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles.

In rendering such opinion, LSLLC Counsel shall state that such opinion covers matters arising under the laws of the State of Washington and the federal laws of the United States of America.

Such opinion shall state that, insofar as such opinion relates to the Meiji Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that by its terms is governed by any law other than the laws of the State of Washington or the federal laws of the United States of America, such counsel has assumed that the laws of such other jurisdiction are, in all respects relevant to such opinion, identical to the laws of the State of Washington. Such opinion may state that references therein to “subsidiaries” of LSLLC exclude the Company. Such opinion shall not state that it is to be governed or qualified by, or that it is otherwise subject to, any treatise, written policy or other document relating to legal opinions, including, without limitation, the Legal Opinion Accord of the ABA Section of Business Law (1991).
