The making, issuing and performance of the Purchase Documents by Tercica and the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated will not (i) violate any provision of the organizational documents of Tercica, (ii) result in the creation of any lien, charge, security interest or encumbrance upon any assets of Tercica pursuant to the terms or provisions of, or will not conflict with, result in the breach or violation of, or constitute, either by itself or upon notice or the passage of time or both, a default under, or give any person any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, commitment, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, franchise, license, indenture, permit or other instrument (A) to which Tercica is a party or by which Tercica or its properties may be bound or affected and (B) which individually or in the aggregate would be reasonably likely to result in a material liability of Tercica or have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) violate any statute or any authorization, judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation of any court or any regulatory body, administrative agency or

Page 13

other governmental body applicable to Tercica or any of its properties in a manner that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No consent, approval, authorization or other order of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental body is required for the execution and delivery by Tercica of the Purchase Documents or the consummation by Tercica of the transactions contemplated thereby, other than such as have been made or obtained and except for compliance with the Blue Sky laws and federal securities laws applicable to the offering of the Shares. Upon their execution and delivery, and assuming the valid execution thereof by Genentech and the other parties thereto, the Purchase Documents will constitute the valid and binding obligations of Tercica, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

3.6 Valid Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Genentech set forth in Article 4, the offer, sale, and issuance of the Shares will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and will have been registered or qualified (or are exempt from registration and qualification) under the registration or qualification requirements of all applicable state securities Laws.

3.7 No Defaults. Tercica is not in violation or default of any provision of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or other organizational documents.

3.8 No Material Change. Between March 31, 2007 and the date hereof, (i) Tercica has not incurred, other than in the ordinary course of business, any material liabilities or obligations which would be required under GAAP to be set forth on Tercica’s balance sheet, except for legal, accounting and other costs in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery by Tercica of the Transaction Documents, (ii) Tercica has not sustained any material loss or interference with its business or properties from fire, flood, windstorm, accident or other calamity, (iii) Tercica has not paid or declared any dividends or other distributions with respect to its capital stock, (iv) Tercica is not in default in the payment of principal or interest on any outstanding debt obligations, and (v) there have been no events or occurrences which, individually or in the aggregate, have had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Tercica.

Tercica has all franchises, permits, licenses, consents and other governmental or regulatory authorizations and approvals necessary for the conduct of its business as presently conducted, except for such of the foregoing, the failure to possess which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Tercica.

Genentech is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and, together with its Subsidiaries, has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its and its Subsidiaries’ properties and to carry on its and its Subsidiaries’ business as presently conducted.

4.2 Investment Representations. Genentech is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in making, and is qualified to make, decisions with respect to investments in securities, including the Shares, and (without limiting any representation or warranty provided by Tercica herein) has requested, received, reviewed and considered all information it deems relevant in making an informed decision to purchase the Shares. Genentech is acquiring the Shares for its own account for investment only and with no present intention of distributing any of such Shares or any arrangement or understanding with any other persons regarding the distribution of such Shares within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Genentech is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Genentech understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any state securities laws in reliance on specific exemptions therefrom, which exemptions may depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Genentech’s investment intent as expressed herein.

4.3 Authorization; Due Execution, Delivery and Performance of this Agreement. Genentech has full legal right, corporate power and authority to enter into the Purchase Documents and perform the transactions contemplated thereunder. Each of the Purchase Documents upon delivery will be duly authorized, executed and delivered by Genentech. The making, issuing and performance of the Purchase Documents by Genentech and the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated will not: (i) violate any provision

Page 18

of the organizational documents of Genentech, (ii) violate any statute or any authorization, judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation of any court or any regulatory body, administrative agency or other Governmental Entity applicable to Genentech, or (iii) violate any material contract, agreement, or instrument to which Genentech is a party or by which it is bound, that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Genentech’s ability to perform its obligations under the Purchase Documents. No consent, approval, authorization or other order of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental body is required for the execution and delivery by Genentech of the Purchase Documents or the consummation by Genentech of the transactions contemplated thereby, other than such as have been made or obtained. Upon their execution and delivery, and assuming the valid execution thereof by Tercica and the other parties thereto, the Purchase Documents will constitute the valid and binding obligations of Genentech enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

4.4 No Legal or Tax Advice. Genentech understands that nothing in the Transaction Documents, the Tercica SEC Reports or any other materials presented to Genentech in connection with the purchase and sale of the Shares constitutes legal or tax advice. Genentech has consulted such legal and tax advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Shares. Genentech understands that it (and not Tercica) shall be responsible for its own tax liabilities that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Documents.

4.5 No Defaults. Neither Genentech nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation or default of any provision of its organizational documents or any agreement, judgment, decree, order, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, franchise, license, indenture, permit or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties are bound, and has not received any written notice of termination under any such material documents, and there does not exist any state of fact which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an event of default on the part of Genentech or any of its Subsidiaries as defined in such documents, in each case which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Genentech’s ability to perform its obligations under the Purchase Documents.

4.6 Compliance. Genentech and each of its Subsidiaries have complied in all material respects with each Law binding on it or on any of its assets or properties and is not currently in violation of any such Law, and there have been no written notices or orders of noncompliance issued to Genentech or its Subsidiaries under or in respect of any such Law, in each case the noncompliance with which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Genentech’s ability to perform its obligations under the Purchase Documents.

Page 19

4.7 Litigation. Neither Genentech nor any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice of the assertion of, or to the knowledge of Genentech, been threatened with any action, suit, proceeding, claim, arbitration or investigation before any Governmental Entity against Genentech or any of its Subsidiaries or order of any Governmental Entity binding on Genentech, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective assets or properties, in the case of all the foregoing, which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Genentech’s ability to perform its obligations under the Purchase Documents.

4.8 Restrictive Legend. Genentech understands that, until such time as a registration statement covering the Shares has been declared effective or the Common Stock associated with such Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Shares shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for the Shares):

9.2 Effect of Termination. In the event that this Agreement is validly terminated as provided herein, then each of the parties shall be relieved of their duties and obligations arising under this Agreement after the date of such termination and such termination shall be without liability or obligation to Genentech or Tercica; provided, however, that such termination will not affect (a) any rights that have accrued to the benefit of either Party prior to the date of such termination, including damages arising from any breach of this Agreement and (b) either Party’s liability for any breach of this Agreement such Party may have committed prior to the date of such termination. The provisions of this Section 9.2 and Article 10 (Miscellaneous) shall survive any termination hereof pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof.

10.1 Assignment. Neither Party may assign this Agreement to a Third Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) without the prior written consent of Tercica, Genentech may assign this Agreement in its entirety to any of its Affiliates, provided that any such assignment shall not relieve the Genentech of its responsibilities for performance of its obligations under this Agreement and (b) without the prior written consent of the other Party, either Party may assign this Agreement in its entirety in connection with a merger or similar reorganization or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 10.1 shall be void and of no effect. All valid assignments shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by and against the successors and permitted assigns of Genentech or Tercica, as the case may be.

10.2 No Survival. The representations and warranties made herein shall terminate as of the First Closing. All statements as to factual matters contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of a Party pursuant hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be representations and warranties by such Party hereunder solely as of the date of such certificate or instrument.

10.3 Waiver. Except as specifically provided for herein, the waiver from time to time by either of the Parties of any of such Party’s rights or such Party’s failure to exercise any remedy shall not operate or be construed as a continuing waiver of same or of any other of such Party’s rights or remedies provided in this Agreement.
