AND
FRONTIER SCIENTIFIC, INC.
SUPPLY AGREEMENT
This Supply Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2006, is made and entered into
by and between Light Sciences Oncology, Inc., a Washington corporation ("LSO"),
and Frontier Scientific, Inc., a Utah corporation ("Frontier"). LSO and Frontier
agree as follows:
SECTION 1. MANUFACTURE AND SUPPLY OF COMPOUND
1.1 PURCHASE. Frontier will produce, sell and deliver to LSO, and LSO will
purchase from Frontier, [ * ] of [ * ] ("Compound") in accordance with the terms
and subject to the conditions of this Agreement. The Compound will conform to
the specifications set forth in the attached Exhibit A ("Specifications").
Frontier will procure, install and test all equipment, supplies, materials and
other items necessary to timely satisfy its obligations under this Agreement,
including, without limitation, procuring sufficient quantities of [ * ].
Frontier will procure [ * ] from [ * ] (a vendor approved by LSO) or another
vendor approved by LSO in writing, which approval will not be unreasonably
withheld by LSO. Prior to approving any vendor of [ * ] (other than [ * ]), LSO
must be provided an opportunity to interview the prospective vendor, inspect its
production facilities and test samples of its [ * ] material.
1.2 DELIVERY. Frontier will deliver the Compound to LSO FOB Frontier's
manufacturing facility in accordance with the following delivery schedule:
QUANTITY DELIVERY DATE
------------- -------------
[ * ] [ * ]

[ * ] [ * ]
[ * ] [ * ]
Frontier will notify LSO at least [ * ] business days before delivery of any
Compound and will coordinate with LSO so that each shipment of Compound is
delivered at a time on the delivery date reasonably acceptable to LSO. Frontier
will properly label the Compound and, unless otherwise approved by LSO, package
it in accordance with the packaging procedures set forth in the attached Exhibit
B. Risk of loss will pass to LSO when each
----------
[ * ] Confidential Treatment Requested
shipment of the Compound is delivered to LSO at Frontier's manufacturing
facility following testing and acceptance of the Compound pursuant to Section
1.4. Upon [ * ] days' prior written notice to Frontier, LSO may reschedule any
delivery date to a date not more than [ * ] days after the original delivery
date specified above.
1.3 SCHEDULE. In the event of any actual or anticipated delay in the
production or delivery of any shipment of the Compound, Frontier will give LSO
prompt written notice of the circumstances giving rise to the delay, the
anticipated duration of the delay, and the action Frontier is taking to overcome
or mitigate the delay. Frontier will promptly update such information upon
request of LSO.
1.4 TESTING AND ACCEPTANCE. Before delivering any Compound to LSO, Frontier
will analyze and test the Compound using appropriate test methods (including,
without limitation, the test methods described in the Specifications) to ensure
that the Compound conforms to the Specifications. Before delivering each batch
of Compound specified in Section 1.2, Frontier will deliver to LSO a sample of
the Compound to be delivered suitable for testing. Frontier will deliver a
completed and signed Certificate of Analysis (in a form generally consistent
with the historical practices of the parties) with or before delivery of each
sample. During the [ * ]-business day period following LSO's actual receipt of
each sample, LSO may test the sample to determine whether it conforms with the
Specifications. If LSO does not notify Frontier in writing of its determination
regarding the applicable shipment of Compound within [ * ] business days after
the end of such [ * ] business day period, the shipment will be deemed to
conform to the Specifications and accepted by LSO. If LSO determines that the
Sample conforms to the Specifications, then LSO will notify Frontier in writing,
Frontier will deliver the shipment of Compound in accordance with Section 1.2
and the shipment will be deemed accepted by LSO. If LSO determines that the
Compound fails to conform to the Specifications, then LSO will notify Frontier,
and Frontier will notify LSO within [ * ] business days whether Frontier
disputes LSO's determination. If Frontier fails to provide such notice, then
Frontier will replace the Compound with Compound that conforms to the
Specifications within [ * ] days after the date of LSO's notice of
nonconformance. If Frontier timely disputes LSO's determination, then LSO will
engage [ * ], Inc. or, if [ * ], Inc. is not available, then another independent
third-party testing laboratory approved by both parties, which the parties will
approve within [ * ] business days after Frontier's notice, (the "Inspector") to
inspect and test the Compound to be delivered, in order to determine whether the
Compound conforms to the Specifications. The parties will instruct the Inspector
to complete its testing as soon as practicable and in no event more than [ * ]
days after an appropriate sample of the Compound to be delivered is furnished to
the Inspector. The Inspector will furnish the results of its tests to Frontier
and LSO, and each party may have a representative present when the testing is
performed. If the Inspector determines that the Compound does not comply with
the Specifications, Frontier will immediately advise LSO of the date on which
----------
[ * ] Confidential Treatment Requested
Frontier will be able to replace the non-conforming Compound with Compound that
conforms to the Specifications. If Frontier's delivery date for the replacement
Compound is more than [ * ] days after the Inspector's determination that the
Compound does not conform to the Specifications, LSO may terminate the Agreement
upon written notice to Frontier. If Frontier's delivery date for the replacement
Compound is equal to or less than [ * ] days after the Inspector's determination
that the Compound does not materially conform to the Specifications, Frontier
will replace the non-conforming Compound with Compound that conforms to the
Specifications by such date at no additional charge to LSO. If the Inspector
determines that the Compound conforms to the Specifications, the Compound will
be deemed accepted by LSO upon delivery.
1.5 PROGRESS REPORTS. Frontier will inform LSO of all significant
developments, events and circumstances that occur in connection [ * ] Frontier's
production [ * ]; procurement of materials, equipment, services or other
resources necessary to produce the Compound hereunder; or the production of the
Compound and will promptly respond to any reasonable requests from LSO for
information relating to the status and progress of such activities. Attached
hereto as Exhibit C is a summary of Frontier's plans and schedule [ * ] to meet
its obligations under this Agreement. Frontier will promptly notify LSO of any
material changes to the plans or schedule described in the attached Exhibit C.
1.6 FACILITIES. LSO will have the right, but not the obligation, to visit
Frontier's facilities during Frontier's regular business hours and upon not less
than [ * ] business days' advance notice to Frontier, in order to observe [ * ]
Frontier's production facilities and the production of the Compound and to
review related records and data as reasonably necessary to confirm Frontier's
compliance with this Agreement; provided, that (a) Frontier will not be required
to disclose, and LSO will not have access to, Frontier's documented proprietary
production processes and methods, proprietary formulae or trade secrets and (b)
upon LSO's request, LSO will be permitted access to Frontier's analytical
reports regarding the Compound. During the Term (as defined below) and for a
period of [ * ] years thereafter (unless a longer period is required by
applicable law or regulation), Frontier will prepare, maintain and retain
accurate records and other documentation related to Frontier's raw materials
sourcing and Frontier's handling, storage and shipment of the Compound. For
avoidance of doubt, analytical reports regarding the production of the Compound
will not be considered proprietary to Frontier and will be made available to LSO
upon request.
1.7 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Frontier will comply with all applicable laws,
ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, licenses, permits and other
requirements, now or hereafter in effect in connection with its activities under
this Agreement, including, without limitation, all applicable safety, labeling,
packaging and other governmental requirements,
----------
[ * ] Confidential Treatment Requested
associated with handling, storing, producing, shipping and delivering the
Compound. Without limiting the foregoing, Frontier will furnish a Material Data
Safety Sheet pursuant to 29 CFR 1910.1200 with each shipment of Compound.
1.8 REGULATORY MATTERS. Frontier will (a) promptly notify LSO if it
receives notice of any material inspection or inquiry by any governmental
authority related to the production of the Compound; (b), to the extent
permitted by applicable regulations and orders, forward to LSO copies of any
correspondence from any such governmental authority relating to production of
the Compound; and (c) obtain the written consent of LSO, which will not
unreasonably be withheld, before referring to LSO in any regulatory
correspondence.
1.9 SUPPLY TO OTHERS. Frontier will not directly or through any of its
affiliates supply any third party and its affiliates more than [ * ] of Compound
in any calendar year during the Term and thereafter; provided, however, that the
foregoing restriction shall lapse and not apply if (a) in the first full
calendar year after expiration of the Term (expected to be calendar year [ * ]),
LSO has not ordered from Frontier at least the lesser of (i) [ * ] of the
Compound during the calendar year or (ii) [ * ] of the Compound ordered by LSO
during the calendar year from all third parties or (b) in any subsequent
calendar year (expected to be calendar year [ * ]), LSO has not ordered from
Frontier at least the greater of (i) [ * ] of the Compound during the calendar
year or (ii) [ * ] of the Compound ordered by LSO during the calendar year from
all third parties.
SECTION 2. COMPENSATION
2.1 PRODUCTION [ * ]. In partial consideration for Frontier's manufacture
and delivery of the Compound, LSO will reimburse Frontier the actual

competitive prices and in the ordinary course of business. At LSO's election,
LSO will either reimburse Frontier such costs promptly after presentation of
proof that Frontier has paid such costs, or LSO will promptly pay the vendor's
invoices directly. To Frontier's knowledge, the equipment, services and other
resources identified for purchase under this Section 2.1 will be sufficient to
enable Frontier to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement and to produce
and supply on an annual basis [ * ] of the Compound.
2.2 RAW MATERIALS. In partial consideration for Frontier's manufacture and
delivery of the Compound, LSO will reimburse Frontier the actual amounts paid by
Frontier to [ * ] (together with all related payments to third parties and
governmental entities for shipping, insurance, taxes, duties, customs charges
and related expenses associated with the shipment of [ * ]) to purchase such
quantities of [ * ] necessary to produce [ * ] of the Compound for LSO under
this Agreement up to a maximum of [ * ]. LSO will reimburse [ * ] of Frontier's
costs for such [ * ] at the time Frontier places its order, which amount must be

accepts such [ * ].
2.3 PER [ * ] FEE. LSO will pay Frontier at a rate of [ * ] per [ * ] of
the Compound received and accepted by LSO pursuant to Section 1.4; provided,
however, that up to [ * ] of the amounts payable by LSO under this Section 2.3
for each [ * ] of the Compound will be offset by the payments made by LSO to
Frontier pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 above until the aggregate amount of
such payments made under Sections 2.1 and 2.2 have been exhausted. Frontier will
invoice LSO for amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.3 at the time
Frontier delivers the Compound to LSO pursuant to Section 1.4 and such invoices
will be paid by LSO within [ * ] days after Frontier's delivery of the
applicable shipment of the Compound.
2.4 MAXIMUM PAYMENT. The maximum amount of compensation to be paid and
reimbursed under this Agreement for [ * ] of the Compound will not exceed [ * ]
constituting of the payments to be made by LSO under Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3.
2.5 INVOICES. Frontier will invoice LSO for all compensation, reimbursable
expenses and other amounts due under this Agreement. Each invoice will be in a
form consistent with the historical practices of the parties, and will be
furnished to LSO before the due date of the amount subject to the invoice. Upon
LSO's reasonable request, Frontier will
----------
[ * ] Confidential Treatment Requested
promptly furnish to LSO documentation and other records substantiating any
reimbursable expense, including, without limitation, copies of purchase orders,
shipping document and receipts.
2.6 SECURITY INTEREST. To secure Frontier's obligations hereunder, Frontier
hereby grants to LSO a security interest in all assets, equipment, raw materials
and other items acquired by Frontier and reimbursed or paid by LSO under this
Agreement, the proceeds thereof, and all work-in-progress and inventory produced
from such raw materials ("Collateral"). Frontier authorizes LSO to file and
record financing statements, amendments and other documents under the Uniform
Commercial Code ("UCC") reasonably necessary to evidence, perfect and maintain
the security interest granted under this Section 2.6. Frontier has not granted,
created or knowingly allowed to exist, and, during the Term Frontier will not,
grant, create or knowingly allow to exist, any lien, security interest or
encumbrance on the Collateral except as created by this Agreement or otherwise
authorized by LSO. The security interest granted under this Section 2.6, and
Frontier's obligations under this Section 2.6, will terminate when Frontier has
delivered, and LSO has accepted, [ * ] of the Compound in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of any material
breach by Frontier under this Agreement that is not cured within [ * ] days
after written notice thereof, LSO will, without limiting any other remedies,
have the remedies of a secured party under the UCC, and LSO will have the right
to dispose of the Collateral by way of one or more contracts or transactions,
for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places as LSO determines is
commercially reasonable, and apply any proceeds thereof to the obligations
secured under this Agreement in whatever manner or order LSO deems appropriate.
LSO will not foreclose on the security interest granted hereunder if Frontier
fully and timely satisfies its obligations under Section 3.3.
2.7 OBLIGATION TO SUPPLY ADDITIONAL QUANTITIES. In addition to the
quantities of Compound identified in Section 1.2 above, upon the written request
of LSO, Frontier will produce and deliver to LSO up to an additional [ * ] of
Compound conforming to the Specifications. In exchange of Frontier's production
and delivery of such additional Compound, LSO shall pay to Frontier a price of

similar to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that
Frontier shall not be required to grant any security interest or pledge any
assets in favor of LSO as security for Frontier's performance of its obligations
under this Section 2.7 and no payments will be required under Sections 2.1 and
2.2. Without limiting the foregoing, lead and delivery times for any such
additional Compound will be substantially the same as the lead and delivery
times set forth herein taking into account that no expansion of production
capacity will be required to produce such additional Compound.

respect to the subject matter hereof. Neither party will be bound by, and each
of them specifically objects to, any term, condition or other provision which is
different from or in addition to the provisions of this Agreement (whether or
not it would materially alter this Agreement) and which is proffered by the
other party in any quotation, invoice, shipping document, acceptance,
confirmation, correspondence or otherwise, unless the recipient specifically

performance under this Agreement is delayed, or is reasonably expected to be
delayed, by more than six (6) months as a result of a Force Majeure Event, then
the non-affected party will have the right to terminate this Agreement upon

and accountants who need to know such Confidential Information. In the event
that either party is requested or required (by oral question or request for
information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil
investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential
Information of the other party, such party will promptly notify the other party
of the request or requirement so that the other party may seek an appropriate
protective order. If, in the absence of a
[ * ] Confidential Treatment Request
protective order, a party is compelled to disclose any Confidential Information
to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, the party may disclose the
Confidential Information of the other party to the tribunal; provided, however,
that the party disclosing such information to the tribunal shall use its
reasonable efforts to obtain an order or other assurance that confidential
treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information of
the other party required to be disclosed. The foregoing provisions shall not
apply to any Confidential Information, which (a) is or has become generally
available to the public through no fault of the receiving party, (b) is or was
acquired by the receiving party from a third party and is not subject to an
unexpired obligation to such third party restricting the receiving party's use

without reliance upon or use of any of the Confidential Information of the other
party. Without in any manner limiting the foregoing, the parties agree that the
existence, terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be disclosed or
furnished to any third party (other than a party's accountants and lawyers on a
need to know basis or, on a confidential basis, any prospective corporate
partner or purchaser of the party or its securities), except to the extent
required by applicable law, rule, regulation or order. If a party is required to
disclose the existence, terms or conditions of this Agreement under any
applicable law, rule, regulation or order, then the party required to disclose
will notify the other party prior to such disclosure. If LSO is required to
disclose the existence, terms or conditions of this Agreement to the SEC or in
any public securities filing, then LSO will use diligent efforts to obtain
confidential treatment of such terms and conditions for which confidential
treatment may be afforded under applicable SEC regulations and will provide
Frontier a [ * ] business day period to review and comment on any such request
for confidential treatment. LSO will consider all such comments in good faith.
For purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential Information" shall mean any and
all non-public information furnished or disclosed, in whatever form or medium,
concerning a disclosing party, including, without limitation, such disclosing
party's intellectual property, customer lists, business contacts, business
plans, policies, procedures, techniques, know-how, products, agreements,
economic and financial information, marketing plans, data, reports, analyses,
compilations and any other materials or information, or any materials based
thereon, whether written or oral, furnished directly or indirectly by a
disclosing party to the other party. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, the parties agree that the Specifications shall be deemed to be
Confidential Information of LSO and LSO may freely disclose the Specifications.
The obligations under this Section 5.12 will terminate [ * ] after the effective
date of termination of this Agreement.
