which shall meet quarterly and consist of representatives of each of Scios,
Innovex, and ISS (the "JSC"). The JSC shall have overall strategic
responsibility for managing the commercialization of the Product,

may organize sub-committees of the JSC as mutually agreed. Each party will
pay the incidental and out-of-pocket costs associated with participation of
its employees in the JSC. In the event the JSC is unable to agree on any
matter, then Scios shall make the decision. The JSC will not have the
authority to alter or amend any term of this Agreement or of the Exhibits
hereto.
2.4 Scios will retain all intellectual property rights in the Product.
2.5 Scios will be responsible for all regulatory affairs related to the
Product, including: (i) regulatory filings and compliance, (ii)

additional indications and further clinical trials.
2.6 Scios will be responsible for all manufacturing, labeling, distribution,
patent, copyright trade secret and trademark rights relating to Product.
Scios shall be responsible for booking sales, fulfilling orders, and shall

2.7 Scios shall develop and own all rights in all written sales, promotion and
advertising materials for the Product and all trademarks related to the
Product.
2.8 The JSC will oversee development of the initial and all ongoing training
programs for the Sales Respresentatives. The Sales Respresentatives shall
be required to complete such training programs, at the expense of Scios as
set forth in Exhibit A.
2.9 By 60 days notice to Innovex, which shall be effective no earlier than May
31, 2003, Scios may at its election take over all or any portion of the
Sales Representatives upon
the payment to ISS of $[*****] per Sales Representative actually hired by
Scios. In addition, by notice from Scios given at the time of Scios gives
notice that it is terminating its relationship with Innovex and ISS due to
Innovex's or ISS's breach in providing the Services, at the time of the
actual termination of Services, Scios may at its election take over all or
any portion of the sales force upon the payment to ISS of $[*****] per
Sales Representative actually hired by Scios. Following such election by
Scios, Innovex shall take all actions reasonable and necessary to transfer
the Sales Representatives to Scios. Exercise of this right shall not affect
payments due to PharmaBio under Section 3 below or the rights of Quintiles
CDS under Section 4. Within 60 days prior to the actual hiring by Scios,
Scios shall provide Innovex and ISS with a complete list of all the Sales
Representatives Scios desires to hire.
2.10 No provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to create or imply any
employment relationship between Scios and any Innovex employee.
2.11 Scios shall lease Sales Representatives from ISS. Scios shall have the
right to approve of any Sales Representative proposed by ISS. No person
shall become a Sales Representative unless such person has made written
application for employment with ISS on a ISS application and such person is
accepted by ISS as a Sales Representative. Scios may identify qualified
persons and request ISS to hire such persons; however, Scios shall not have
the authority to hire any person on behalf of ISS or make contractual
commitments binding ISS. ISS retains the right to employ any legal method
of pre-employment screening or post-employment verification of background,
including without limitation, drug testing, employment application
verification, verification of driver records or criminal records or similar
verification. Scios agrees that acceptance by Scios of a Sales
Representative's assignment to the Sales Force; (i) relieves ISS of any
liability to Scios for Scios losses or claims that arise as a result of
Sales Representative negligence, theft, embezzlement, fraud, or other
unlawful or willful acts committed by the Sales Representative, and (ii)
acts as Scios' waiver of any minimum qualifications such Sales
Representative may not meet. The JSC shall have the right to terminate any
Sales Representative.
2.12 ISS will be an employer of the Sales Representatives while Scios will be a
co-employer of the Sales Representative to the extent necessary to conduct
its business. The parties intend that this employment relationship be one
by which the traditional duties and rights of an employer with respect to
the Sales Representatives are allocated between Scios and ISS in the manner
set forth herein. In this arrangement, Scios and ISS each have specific
responsibilities while other responsibilities are shared by both
parties. Scios understands and agrees to the three-party employment
relationship contemplated by this Agreement and acknowledges the importance
of operating under this Agreement both in form and fact so that Scios and
the Sales Representatives can realize the full benefits of ISS's services.
Scios also acknowledges the importance of the Sales Representatives'
understanding of this relationship, and agrees to cooperate with ISS in
educating the Sales Representatives with respect to this relationship.
[*****] A CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OF THE MATERIAL HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
2.13 Scios shall retain a right of direction and control of the Sales
Representatives consistent with its role as a co-employer of the Sales
Representatives. Without limiting the foregoing, Scios shall have control
over the day-to-day job duties of the Sales Representatives. Accordingly,
Scios is solely responsible for the quality, adequacy of the services
performed by the Sales Representatives and for the consequences, including
damage to property and injury to third parties, resulting from such while
the Sales Representatives are acting under the supervision, direction, or
control of Scios.
2.14 Scios has the exclusive right to issue stock compensation to the Sales
Representatives. Consistent with the provisions of this Agreement and
Exhibit A hereto, Scios has the exclusive right to determine the economic
value of the services performed by the Sales Representatives (including
wages and the number of units and value of stock compensation granted).
2.15 Innovex (with regard to its employees who perform Services) and ISS with
regard to the Sales Representatives will: (i) maintain all necessary
payroll records for non-stock compensation; (ii) compute non-stock
compensation and withhold applicable Federal, State and local taxes and
Federal FICA payments; (iii) remit withholdings to the proper governmental
authorities and make employer contributions for Federal FICA and Federal
and State unemployment insurance payments; (iv) pay net wages and fringe
benefits, if any, directly to their respective employees; and (v) provide
for employer's liability and Workers' Compensation insurance coverage. In
addition Innovex, with regard to its employees, is responsible for the
administration of health and benefits plans, 401(k) plan, and other
employee benefit plans. ISS may not, under any circumstances, grant stock
options or other stock compensation to Sales Representatives, such right
being reserved exclusively to Scios.
2.16 All Sales Representatives will be eligible to participate in Scios benefit
plans, including Scios health and welfare plans and Scios stock
compensation plans. With regard to all stock compensation granted to Sales
Representatives, Scios will: (i) maintain all necessary personnel and
payroll records for such stock compensation; (ii) compute the value of all
stock compensation and withhold applicable Federal, State and local taxes
and Federal FICA payments; and (iii) remit withholdings to the proper
governmental authorities and make employer contributions for Federal FICA
and Federal and State unemployment insurance payments. If the Scios benefit
program involves payroll deductions, ISS's sole responsibility shall be to
make deductions according to Scios' instructions and remit to Scios and
ISS's sole liability shall be the amount of payroll deducted but not
remitted. Scios acknowledges its obligations, as set forth in Sections
414(m), (n) and (o) of the Internal Revenue Code, to integrate and
coordinate the terms of any Scios-sponsored benefit plans so that Scios'
plans and ISS's plans remain in compliance with all applicable laws. ISS
shall have no responsibility for COBRA administration with respect to Sales
Representatives or otherwise with regard to any group health plan
maintained by Scios. Upon termination of this Agreement, the provision for
continuation coverage shall be governed by IRC (S)4980B. Both parties agree
to cooperate to avoid the implication of a qualifying event under IRC
(S)4980B. Nothing in this provision shall be construed or interpreted as
precluding or limiting ISS'
right to pursue damages in a court of law or equity, which arose as a
result of Scios' failure to obtain and provide insurance as set forth
herein.
2.17 Innovex, with regard to its employees (but not including Sales
Representatives), is responsible for the administration of health and
benefits plans, 401(k) plan, and other employee benefit plans. Innovex
employees (but not including Sales Representative) will remain exclusively
under the direct control and authority of Innovex.
2.18 The parties agree not to infringe upon the rights and duties of each as set
forth in this Agreement. Innovex and ISS agree to consult closely with
Scios in the development and administration of all policies and procedures,
which may in any way affect Scios' business. Notwithstanding the preceding,
to the extent either party specifically takes actions or gives directions
outside or in contravention of these provisions, such party shall be liable
for any damage or loss suffered by the other and any person acting at the
direction of such party shall be deemed the sole agent of that party for
the purpose of any act or omission as a result thereof.
2.19 Innovex (with regard to Innovex employees involved in providing Services)
and ISS (with regard to Sales Representatives) shall provide and maintain
proper Workers' Compensation and Employer's Liability coverage during the
term of this Agreement. Innovex and ISS shall also provide proper
administration and timely payment of Workers' Compensation deposits,
premiums or other required payments based upon information regarding
classification provided by Scios. Innovex and ISS shall provide proper
handling of Workers' Compensation audits, claims and administration during
the term of this Agreement. Scios acknowledges that ISS's worker
compensation carrier or plan administrator may periodically audit ISS's
workers' compensation records to ensure proper classification of Sales
Representatives. In the event any Sales Representatives are found to have
been misclassified on the basis of information supplied by Scios, then
Scios shall be liable for any increases or additional premium assessments.
2.20 Scios agrees to provide reasonable access and accommodations as required by
the Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended, and any regulations
thereunder (the "ADA") and to otherwise comply with the accommodation and
access provisions of the ADA. Scios also agrees to comply with the
provisions of the Family and Medical Leave Act and all other applicable
state family and medical leave laws (the "FMLA"), and to assume the
obligation to forward any health insurance/plan premiums as may be
necessitated to comply with the FMLA. Scios has the responsibility to
inform ISS prior to a Sales Representative being eligible to take leave
under the FMLA.
2.21 Scios acknowledges its obligations under applicable laws and regulations to
comply with all health and safety laws, regulations, ordinances,
directives, and rules including, but not limited to, the Occupational
Safety and Health Act of 1970, as amended ("OSHA"), and any applicable
state equivalent thereof, and hazardous materials communication laws
imposed by controlling federal, state, and local governments. Scios will
promptly report all accidents and injuries to Innovex or ISS, as the case
may be. Scios agrees to comply, at its expense, with any specific
directives from the JSC, from ISS's Workers'
Compensation carrier that are in the reasonable opinion of Scios' legal
counsel to be required under law, or any government agency having
jurisdiction over the work place, and/or the health and safety of the Sales
Representatives. Scios further acknowledges the importance of the use of
all personnel protective equipment, as required by federal, state or local
law, regulation, ordinance, directive, or rule or as deemed necessary by
the JSC, or required by ISS's Worker's compensation carrier and deemed in
the reasonable opinion of Scios' legal counsel to be required under law.
2.22 Scios agrees to make a timely report to Innovex, ISS and any applicable
Workers' Compensation carrier or third party administrator of any injury or
accident which is or claimed to be work related by the injured Sales
Representative. In such case Scios agrees to cooperate in conducting any
investigation following such injury or accident, provide transportation to
a medical facility, and, if required due to medical restrictions, to permit
the Sales Representative to work on a modified-duty capacity until such
time as Sales Representative is no longer medically restricted from
resuming duties prior to such injury or accident. In the event such injury
or accident results in a protected permanent disability, Scios agrees to
cooperate with Innovex or ISS in making any reasonable accommodation
required by the ADA. The final adjudication for workers' compensation
purposes of whether the injury or accident is work-related shall be
applicable for all purposes, including health insurance coverage. Scios
agrees to pay any additional costs incurred by Innovex or ISS (including
reasonable legal fees) caused by Scios' failure to timely report any such
injury or accident.
2.23 Scios acknowledges that it is essential to Innovex's and ISS's performance
under this Agreement that Innovex and ISS have complete knowledge of any
government investigation or inquiry or private adversary action which could
in any manner impact upon the types of duties contemplated by this
Agreement. Scios agrees to make complete and full disclosure of any current
or future administrative proceeding (including but not limited to EEOC,
NLRB, OSHA or DOL), investigation, lawsuit, or other adversary proceeding,
including those which are threatened as well as those not yet asserted.
Scios agrees to cooperate with Innovex and/or ISS, as the case may be, in
the investigation, resolution and defense of any such investigation or
inquiry or private adversary action in which they or any of their
affiliated entities, shareholders, officers, directors, agents and
representatives are named or which could in any manner impact upon the
types of duties contemplated by this Agreement.
3. Agreement Between Scios and PharmaBio on Funding and Royalty.
3.1 PharmaBio will support the commercialization of the Product by funding $30
million of the sales and marketing expenses incurred by Scios (including
the costs of developing additional data to use for marketing purposes
through clinical trials or market research). The funding will be paid to
Scios in installments as set forth in Schedule 3.1.
3.2 In consideration of PharmaBio's funding commitments set forth in Section
3.1, Scios will pay PharmaBio a royalty on Net Sales of the Product
occurring in the United States (including Puerto Rico) and Canada during
the relevant Royalty Periods (as defined
below). When used herein, the different "Royalty Periods" shall be defined
as follows: (i) Royalty Period 1 shall mean the six-month period beginning
on the Launch Date; (ii) Royalty Period 2 shall mean the twelve-month
period following Royalty Period 1; (iii) Royalty Period 3 shall mean the
twelve-month period following Royalty Period 2; (iv) Royalty Period 4 shall
mean the twelve-month period following Royalty Period 3; (v) Royalty Period
5 shall mean the twelve-month period following Royalty Period 4; (vi)
Royalty Period 6 shall mean the twelve-month period following Royalty
Period 5; and (vii) Royalty Period 7 shall mean the twelve-month period
following Royalty Period 6. The royalty payments payable by Scios to
PharmaBio with respect to Royalty Periods 3 through 7 are as follows:
----------------------------- --------------------------------------------------
Royalty Period Royalty on Net Sales
----------------------------- --------------------------------------------------
3 [*****]
----------------------------- --------------------------------------------------
4 [*****]
----------------------------- --------------------------------------------------
5 [*****]
----------------------------- --------------------------------------------------
6 [*****]
----------------------------- --------------------------------------------------
7 [*****]
----------------------------- --------------------------------------------------
In addition, with respect to Royalty Periods 1 and 2, Scios will pay
PharmaBio a [*****] royalty on incremental Net Sales of the Product over
the following target levels: (i) target of $[*****] Net Sales for Royalty
Period 1; and (ii) target of $[*****] Net Sales for Royalty Period 2.
The royalty payments under this Section 3.2 shall be paid not later than 30
days following the end of each quarter during the Royalty Period.
The parties acknowledge that PharmaBio's agreement to the royalty structure
described in this Section 3.2 is based upon the assumption that Scios will
fund at least a monthly average of [*****] Sales Representatives detailing
the Product on an exclusive, full time basis during the first thirty-six
months following the Approval Date (the "Minimum Sales Force Level"). If,
at any time during such 36 month period, Scios fails to fund the Product
sales force to the Minimum Sales Force Level for a period of more than 30
days, then Scios and PharmaBio will negotiate in good faith to restructure
PharmaBio's commitments under Section 3.1 and the corresponding royalty
payments under this Section 3.2. If the parties are unable to mutually
agree to such restructuring, then PharmaBio may, at its sole discretion,
elect to (i) terminate by notice to Scios any future funding obligations
under Section 3.1; and (ii) receive a royalty on Net Sales payable by Scios
to Innovex equal to [*****] of Net Sales (in lieu of the rate provided
above) during the portion of the 36 month period following the Approval
Date that Scios is not electing to maintain the Minimum Sales Force Level
and the then operating Royalty Period shall
[*****] A CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OF THE MATERIAL HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
be suspended for such time period and restarted when Scios increases the
sales force to the Minimum Sales Force Level. For the avoidance of doubt,
with respect to sub-item (ii) in the preceding sentence, (i) the Royalty
Period shall restart at the same time point in the Royalty Period it was
suspended such that PharmaBio enjoys the full length of the seven Royalty
Periods described in Section 3.1 (plus any suspension period), and (ii)
regardless of the size of the sales force at the date 36 months following
the Approval Date, the Royalty Period will restart at the time point it was
suspended period. The rights set forth in the preceding sentence shall be
in addition to any rights available to Innovex.
3.3 PharmaBio's right to receive royalties will end upon PharmaBio's receipt of
$[*****] in royalties paid by Scios in Net Sales of Product in the United
States. Royalties for Net Sales in regions of the Territory other than the
United States shall not apply to this $[*****] calculation (or be subject
to a royalty cap). At the end of 2007, if PharmaBio has not received at
least $[*****] in royalties, then Scios will pay PharmaBio the difference
between the amount of royalties actually received and $[*****].
Accordingly, $[*****] shall be the minimum royalties payable by Scios to
PharmaBio under this Agreement, notwithstanding the actual sales of the
Product or other Product-related events.
3.4 Each Party shall keep or cause to be kept such records as are required to
determine, in a manner consistent with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States, the sums or credits due under this
Agreement. Upon the written request (and expense) of either party, the
other party shall permit an independent certified public accountant
appointed by such party and reasonably acceptable to the other party,
accompanied by representatives of the financial department of such party at
reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, to examine only those records
as may be necessary to determine the correctness or completeness of any
report or payment made under this Agreement. Results of any such
examination shall be (i) limited to information relating to the Product,
(ii) made available to both parties and (iii) subject to the
confidentiality protections set forth herein. The party requesting the
audit shall bear the full cost of the performance of any such audit, unless
such audit discloses a variance of more than [*****] from the amount of the
original report, royalty or payment calculation. In such case, the party
being audited shall bear the full cost of the performance of such audit.
3.5 As further consideration for PharmaBio's funding commitments, Scios grants
PharmaBio warrants to purchase 700,000 shares of Scios Common Stock at a
$20 price per share. The terms and form of the warrants shall be
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B.
3.6 At the election of PharmaBio, PharmaBio's future funding commitments shall
terminate in the event of: (i) withdrawal of the Product from the U.S.
market for any reason; or (ii) Net Sales in any two consecutive calendar
quarters are lower than the Net Sales in the immediately preceding two
consecutive calendar quarters due to factors not reasonably within the
control of the Quintiles Group, including, but not limited to,
manufacturing and inventory problems or shortfalls, material pricing
changes in the Product, or significant unforeseen new information regarding
the safety or efficacy of the Product.
[*****] A CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OF THE MATERIAL HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
Scios has made available to a member of the Quintiles Group all material
information known to the executive officers of Scios covering forecasted
sales of the Product.
4. Grant of Preferred Provider Relationship by Scios to Quintiles CDS.
4.1 Scios hereby grants to Quintiles CDS a preferred provider relationship,
whereby Quintiles shall have the first and preferred opportunity to
negotiate with Scios to provide clinical development services in the United
States regarding the Product that Scios has, in its sole discretion,
determined to outsource for performance period ending three years following
the Approval Date; provided that: (i) the applicable services fall with the
areas of recognized expertise of Quintiles CDS (or its affiliates), (ii)
Quintiles CDS provides such services at competitive rates and makes its
proposal on a competitive time schedule, and (iii) Quintiles CDS is capable
of providing such services in a professional and timely manner to meet
Scios' timeline. Examples of the types of clinical development services
subject to the preferred provider relationship include: (i) Phase IIIb/iv
large simple trial to support the continued growth and success of the
Product, and (ii) trial of the Product for intermittent outpatient infusion
indication.
5. Confidentiality and Ownership of Information.
5.1 Scios on the one part and members of the Quintiles Group on the other part
each acknowledges that, in the course of performing its obligations
hereunder, it may receive information from the other party which is
proprietary to the disclosing party and which the disclosing party wishes
to protect from public disclosure ("Confidential Information"). Each
receiving party agrees to retain in confidence, during the term of any of
the Agreements, and any subsequent renewals thereof, and thereafter for a
period of [*****], all Confidential Information disclosed to it by or on
behalf of the other party, and that it will not, without the written
consent of such other party, use Confidential Information for any purpose
other than the purposes indicated herein. These restrictions shall not
apply to Confidential Information which: (i) is or becomes public knowledge
(through no fault of the receiving party); (ii) is made lawfully available
to the receiving party by an independent third party; (iii) is already in
the receiving party's possession at the time of receipt from the disclosing
party (and such prior possession can be properly demonstrated by the
receiving party); (iv) is independently developed by the receiving party
and/or Affiliates (and such independent development can be properly
demonstrated by the receiving party); or (v) is required by law,
regulation, rule, act or order of any governmental authority or agency to
be disclosed by the receiving party, provided, however, if reasonably
possible, such receiving party gives the disclosing party sufficient
advance written notice to permit it to seek a protective order or other
similar order with respect to such Confidential Information and,
thereafter, the receiving party discloses only the minimum Confidential
Information required to be disclosed in order to comply.
5.2 Members of the Quintiles Group on the one hand and Scios on the other hand
shall limit disclosure of the other party's Confidential Information to
only those of their respective officers, representatives, agents and
employees (collectively "Agents") who are directly concerned with the
performance of this Agreement and have a legitimate need to know
[*****] A CONFIDENTIAL PORTION OF THE MATERIAL HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
such Confidential Information. Upon receipt of notice of termination by
Scios, Innovex shall return all Scios Confidential Information to Scios.
5.3 All Scios patents, trade secrets, copyrights, trade names, trademarks,
service marks, marketing materials, proprietary materials or intellectual
property and all improvements to any of the foregoing (collectively "Scios
Property") disclosed, used, improved, modified or developed in connection
with the Services provided pursuant to this Agreement shall remain the sole
and exclusive property of Scios, and Innovex's rights to use such Scios
Property shall be limited to those permitted by this Agreement.
5.4 Scios acknowledges that Innovex possesses certain inventions, processes,
know-how, trade secrets, improvements, other intellectual properties and
other assets, including but not limited to analytical methods, procedures
and techniques, computer technical expertise and software, and business
practices, including, but not limited to the Territory Management System
("TMS") being provided by Innovex, which have been independently developed
by Innovex (collectively "Innovex Property"). Any Innovex Property or
improvements thereto which are disclosed, used, improved, modified or
developed by Innovex under or during the term of this Agreement shall
remain the sole and exclusive property of Innovex.
6. Independent Contractor Relationship.
For the purposes of this Agreement, Scios on the one part and members of
the Quintiles Group on the other part are independent contractors and
nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to place them in the
relationship of partners, principal and agent, employer and employee or
joint venturers. Neither Scios nor any member of the Quintiles Group shall
have the power or right to bind or obligate the other party, nor shall
either party hold itself out as having such authority.
7. Regulatory Compliance.
7.1 Innovex and Scios agree to comply, to the extent applicable, with all laws,
rules and regulations, including, but not limited to the Federal Equal

Marketing Act.
7.2 If in performing the Services Innovex or its employees become aware of
adverse drug experience reports involving the use of the Product, while
performing any Services in connection with the Product, they shall
immediately notify Scios in accordance with Scios procedures. Scios shall
deliver to Innovex a written copy of such Scios notification procedures.
7.3 Scios shall be solely responsible for responding to any government or

Representatives by Scios with respect to the Product.
9.10 Nothing herein shall preclude Innovex or ISS from bringing Scios into a
civil action as a necessary party where the action is brought against

while assigned to Scios.

which it is not the surviving entity.
14. General Provisions
14.1 This Agreement shall be construed, governed, interpreted, and applied in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to
the principles of conflict of laws.
14.2 The rights and obligations of any party under this Agreement, which by
intent or meaning have validity beyond such termination (including, but not
limited to, rights with respect to confidentiality, mutual indemnification
and liability limitations) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
14.3 This Agreement together with the Warrant Agreement of even date hereof,
contains the entire understandings of the parties with respect to the
subject matter herein, and cancels all previous agreements (oral and
written), negotiations, discussions, claims, notices, disputes or potential
disputes, dealing with the same subject matter. The parties, from
time to time during the term of this Agreement, may modify any of the
provisions hereof only by an instrument in writing duly executed by the
parties.
14.4 No failure or delay on the part of a party in either exercising or
enforcing any right under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of, or
impair, any such right. No single or partial exercise or enforcement of any
such right will preclude any other or further exercise or enforcement
thereof or the exercise or enforcement of any other right. No waiver of any
such right will have effect unless given in a signed writing. No waiver of
any such right will be deemed a waiver of any other right.
14.5 If any part or parts of this Agreement are held to be illegal, void or
ineffective, the remaining portions of this Agreement shall remain in full

liability assumed under this Agreement by either party's insurance carriers
shall be specifically restricted to claims related to Sales Representatives

Warrant Agreement and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth. The
Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of
this Warrant Agreement are subject to adjustment from time to time as provided
in Section 8 of this Warrant Agreement. All of the Warrant Shares shall be
deemed to vest on December 21, 2001 and shall be exercisable in accordance with
the schedule set forth in section 2, below.

-----------------
Shares will become exercisable in seven installments on the following schedule:

March 31, 2002 87,500
June 30, 2002 87,500
Sept 30, 2002 87,500
Dec. 31, 2002 87,500
March 02, 2003 87,500
May 31, 2003 87,500
3. Expiration Date. This Warrant Agreement, and PharmaBio's right to
---------------
purchase any of the Warrant Shares, will expire and cease to be of force and
effect at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on January 10, 2011 (the "Expiration
Date").
4. Exercise of this Warrant Agreement. (a) PharmaBio may exercise this
----------------------------------
Warrant Agreement, to the extent of any then unexercised portion of the Warrant
Shares, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, in whole or in part, (i) for
amounts not less than fifty thousand (50,000) Warrant Shares subject to this
Warrant Agreement, as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 8 of
this Warrant Agreement, or (ii) as a one-time exercise under this Warrant
Agreement, for any exercisable portion of the Warrant Shares, by: (a) the
surrender of this Warrant Agreement, with the Exercise Form attached hereto as
Annex A properly completed and executed, at the principal office of the Scios at
000 X. Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 or at such other office of the Scios as
the Scios may designate by notice in writing to the holder of this Warrant
Agreement, and (b) the delivery of a certified check, bank draft or wire
transfer of immediately available funds, payable to the order of Scios Inc., in
an amount equal to the then aggregate purchase price for the Warrant Shares
being purchased upon such exercise. Upon receipt thereof by the Scios on a
business day, PharmaBio will be deemed to be the holder of record of the Warrant
Shares issuable upon such exercise as of the close of business on the date of
such receipt by the Scios, and the Scios will promptly execute or cause to be
executed and delivered to PharmaBio, a certificate or certificates representing
the aggregate number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Form. If this
Warrant Agreement is exercised only in part and has not expired, the Scios will,
at the time of delivery of said stock certificate or certificates, deliver to
PharmaBio a new Warrant Agreement of like tenor evidencing the right of
PharmaBio to purchase the remaining Warrant Shares then covered by this Warrant
Agreement.
(b) In lieu of exercising this Warrant Agreement, PharmaBio may elect
to receive shares equal to the value of this Warrant Agreement (or the portion
of the Warrant Shares thereunder being exercised) by sending written notice of
such election to Scios, in which event Scios shall deliver to PharmaBio a stock
certificate representing a number of shares of Scios' Common Stock computed
using the following formula:
X = Y(A-B)
------
A
Where:
X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to PharmaBio
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this
Warrant Agreement as to which PharmBio is then exercising this
Warrant Agreement
A = the fair market value of one share of Common Stock
B = the Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculations)
(c) For purposes of this Section, "fair market value" of one share of
Common Stock shall mean the average of the closing price quoted on the Nasdaq
National Market or the principal exchange on which the Common Stock is listed,
or the closing bid and asked prices of the
Common Stock quoted in the Over-The-Counter Market Summary, whichever is
applicable, as published in the Eastern Edition of The Wall Street Journal, for
-----------------------
the ten trading days prior to the date of determination of fair market value. If
the Common Stock is not traded Over-The-Counter or on such market or exchange,
the fair market value of the Common Stock will be the price per share which
Scios could obtain from a willing buyer for shares sold by Scios from authorized
but unissued shares, as agreed upon by Scios and PharmaBio in good faith or,
absent such agreement, as shall be determined by arbitration instituted by
either party under the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
5. Representations of the Scios. The Scios hereby represents and warrants
----------------------------
to PharmaBio as follows:
(a) Scios is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.
(b) This Warrant Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action on the part of Scios, has been duly executed by a duly
authorized officer of the Scios, and constitutes a valid and binding obligation
of Scios.
(c) Neither the execution and delivery of this Warrant Agreement nor
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will violate or result
in any violation of or be in conflict with or constitute a default under any
term of the charter or bylaws of Scios or of any agreement, instrument,
judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or governmental regulation applicable to
Scios.
(d) Upon exercise of this Warrant Agreement and payment of the then
aggregate purchase price by PharmaBio, the Warrant Shares deliverable hereunder
will be duly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares and free from all
taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.
6. Representations of PharmaBio. PharmaBio hereby represents and warrants
----------------------------
to Scios as follows:
(a) PharmaBio is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of North Carolina.
(b) PharmaBio is acquiring this Warrant Agreement, and will acquire
the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Agreement, for
investment for its own account and not with a view to, or for resale in
connection with, any distribution of this Warrant Agreement or the Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Agreement. PharmaBio understands
that neither this Warrant Agreement nor the Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant Agreement have been registered under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or under any state securities laws,
and, as a result thereof, are subject to
substantial restrictions on transfer. PharmaBio acknowledges that this Warrant
Agreement and the shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Agreement must
be held indefinitely, unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act
and any applicable state securities laws or unless exemptions from registration
under the Securities Act and such laws are available.
(c) PharmaBio is an "accredited investor," as that term is defined in
Rule 501 under the Securities Act.
(d) PharmaBio is either (i) not an "Investment Company," as that term
is defined in the Investment Scios Act of 1940, or (ii) excluded from the
definition of an Investment Scios under Section 3(c)(1) of the Investment Scios
Act of 1940.
7. Survival of Representations. The representations and warranties made
---------------------------
in Sections 5 and 6 of this Warrant Agreement will survive the date of this
Warrant Agreement and will expire upon the earliest of (a) the Expiration Date,
(b) if the Alliance Agreement terminates before any of the Warrant Shares become
exercisable the date of the termination of the Alliance Agreement, (c) if the
Alliance Agreement terminates after any of the Warrant Shares become
exercisable, the exercise of the entire unexercised portion of the Warrant
Shares, or (d) the exercise of this Warrant Agreement for all of the remaining
Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant Agreement.
8. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price at which Warrant Shares may be
-------------------
purchased and the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased upon exercise of this
Warrant Agreement are subject to change or adjustment as follows:
(a) Stock Dividends, Distributions, Subdivisions, Combinations
----------------------------------------------------------
or Reclassifications. In case the Scios (i) pays a dividend in shares of Common
--------------------
Stock or makes a distribution in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides its
outstanding shares of Common Stock, (iii) combines its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock or (iv) issues, by
reclassification of its shares of Common Stock, other securities of Scios
(including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or
merger in which the Scios is the surviving corporation), the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant Agreement will be adjusted so
that PharmaBio will be entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares
or other securities of Scios which it would have owned or have been entitled to
receive after the happening of any of the events described above, if this
Warrant Agreement had been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such
event or any record date with respect thereto. Whenever the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant Agreement is adjusted, as
herein provided, the Exercise Price payable upon the exercise of this Warrant
Agreement will be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior
to such adjustment by a fraction, of which the numerator will be the number of
Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant Agreement
immediately prior to such adjustment, and of which the denominator will be the
number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately thereafter. An adjustment made
pursuant to this Subsection 8(a) will
become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive
to the record date, if any, for such event. No adjustment in the number of
Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder will be required unless such adjustment
would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in the number
of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant Agreement;
provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this restriction are
-------- -------
not required to be made will be carried forward and taken into account in any
subsequent adjustment. All calculations will be made to the nearest
one-thousandth of a share.
(b) Preservation of Purchase Rights Upon Merger, Consolidation, etc.
---------------------------------------------------------------
In case of any consolidation of Scios with or merger of Scios into another
corporation or other entity or in case of any sale, transfer or lease to another
corporation or other entity of all or substantially all the property of Scios,
Scios or such successor or purchasing corporation or other entity, as the case
may be, will, at its option, (i) if any of the Warrant Shares are exercisable,
pay PharmaBio an amount in cash equal to the number of Warrant Shares then
exercisable pursuant to this Warrant Agreement multiplied by the difference
between (A) the value of the aggregate consideration in the consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or lease divided by the number of fully-diluted shares of
Common Stock then outstanding and (B) the then current Exercise Price, (ii)
execute with PharmaBio an agreement that PharmaBio will have the right
thereafter, upon any of the Warrant Shares becoming exercisable, and payment of
the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such action, to purchase upon
exercise of this Warrant Agreement the kind and amount of shares and other
securities and property which PharmaBio would have owned or have been entitled
to receive after the happening of such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or
lease had this Warrant Agreement been exercised immediately prior to such
action, or (iii) combine its options under (i) and (ii) of this Subsection 8(b);
provided, however, that no adjustment in respect of cash dividends, interest or
-------- -------
other income on or from such shares or other securities and property will be
made during the term of this Warrant Agreement or upon the exercise of this
Warrant Agreement. Any agreement executed under Subsection 8(b)(ii) or (iii)
will provide for adjustments, which will be as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 8. The provisions of
this Subsection 8(b) will similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers,
sales, transfers or leases.
(c) No Adjustment for Cash Dividends. No adjustment in respect of any
--------------------------------
cash dividends will be made during the term of this Warrant Agreement or upon
the exercise of this Warrant Agreement.
9. Fractional Shares. Fractional shares will not be issued upon the
-----------------
exercise of this Warrant Agreement, but in any case where PharmaBio would,
except for the provisions of this Section, be entitled under the terms of this
Warrant Agreement to receive a fractional share upon the exercise of this
Warrant Agreement, the Scios will, upon the exercise of this Warrant Agreement
for the largest number of whole shares then called for, pay a sum in cash equal
to the excess of the market value of such fractional share (determined in such
reasonable manner as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors of the Scios in
its discretion) over the proportional part of the per share purchase price
represented by such fractional share.
10. Notice of Certain Events. In case at any time Scios:
------------------------
(a) terminates the Alliance Agreement prior to all of the Warrant
Shares becoming exercisable under this Warrant Agreement;
(b) proposes, by resolution of its Board of Directors, a stock
dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification of the
shares of capital stock of the Scios for which this Warrant Agreement is
exercisable; or
(c) proposes, by resolution of its Board of Directors, any capital
reorganization or any reclassification or change of capital stock that
affects the Warrant Shares of the Scios or any consolidation, merger or sale of
properties and assets of the type described in Section 8 of this Warrant
Agreement;
then, and in each of said cases, the Scios will cause notice thereof to be
delivered promptly to PharmaBio; provided, however, that the Scios need not
-------- -------
deliver any separate notice pursuant to Subsection 11(a) if such notice is
provided in accordance with the Alliance Agreement and need not deliver any
notice pursuant to Subsection 10(b) until after any of the Warrant Shares have
become exercisable and unless there exists a then unexercised portion of the
vested Warrant Shares; provided further, that Scios will deliver any notice
-------- -------
pursuant to Subsection 10(c) at least ten (10) business days prior to the
effective date of the proposed event.
11. Reservation of Shares. Scios will at all times reserve and keep
---------------------
available out of its authorized but unissued stock, for the purpose of effecting
the exercise of this Warrant Agreement, such number of its duly authorized
shares of capital stock for which this Warrant Agreement is exercisable, and the
appropriate number of shares of any stock into which such stock is convertible,
as will from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant
Agreement.
12. No Rights as Shareholder; Limitation of Liability. This Warrant
-------------------------------------------------
Agreement, as distinct from the shares for which this Warrant Agreement is
exercisable, will not entitle PharmaBio to any of the rights of a shareholder of
Scios. No provision of this Warrant Agreement, in the absence of affirmative
action by PharmaBio to purchase the Warrant Shares, and no mere enumeration
herein of the rights or privileges of PharmaBio, will give rise to any liability
of PharmaBio for the purchase price or as a shareholder of Scios, whether such
liability is asserted by the Scios or by creditors of Scios.
13. Transfer Restrictions.
---------------------
(a) Securities Laws. NEITHER THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT NOR THE
---------------
SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS
OF ANY STATE. NEITHER THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT NOR THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON
EXERCISE HEREOF NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN OR THEREIN MAY BE SOLD,
ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, ENCUMBERED OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER TRANSFERRED
OR DISPOSED OF EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED,
THE SECURITIES LAWS OF EACH RELEVANT STATE, AND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS HEREOF.
EACH OF THE HOLDER OF THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT AND THE HOLDER OF THE SECURITIES
ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF IS SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS HEREIN SET FORTH.
(b) Stock Certificate Legend. Each certificate for shares issued upon
------------------------
exercise of this Warrant Agreement will bear the following legend:
"The shares represented by this certificate have been acquired
for investment and have not been registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any State.
Neither the shares nor any interest or participation in the
shares may be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered
or in any other manner transferred or disposed of in the absence
of such registration or exemption therefrom under such Act or
such laws and an opinion (which will be in form and substance
satisfactory to the Scios) of counsel satisfactory to the Scios
that such registration is not required."
(c) General Restrictions. PharmaBio may not transfer or assign
--------------------
this Warrant Agreement unless it is transferred or assigned to the purchaser of
all of the outstanding capital stock or all or substantially all of the assets
of PharmaBio or to an affiliate of PharmaBio. Scios may deem and treat the
person in whose name this Warrant Agreement is registered as the holder and
owner hereof (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing hereon made
by anyone other than Scios) for all purposes and will not be affected by any
notice to the contrary, until presentation of this Warrant Agreement to Scios
for registration of transfer consistent with this Section. The holder of this
Warrant Agreement further agrees that prior to any transfer of this Warrant
Agreement, consistent with this Section, or any transfer of the shares issued
upon exercise hereof, such holder will give written notice to the Scios,
together with a copy of the opinion of such holder's counsel, if reasonably
requested by Scios, as to the availability of exemption from registration under
all applicable securities laws in connection with any such transfer (which
opinion will be reasonably satisfactory to counsel for Scios).
14. Lock-Up. In connection with any public offering of shares of Common
-------
Stock, PharmaBio agrees to enter into a written agreement with the managing
underwriters, if the managing underwriters require such an agreement from
PharmaBio and from all holders (the "Other Holders") of more shares of Common
Stock, or of shares of preferred stock convertible into more shares of Common
Stock, than the number of shares of Common Stock owned by PharmaBio, in such
form and containing such provisions as are required by the managing underwriters
(except that such provisions will not be less favorable to PharmaBio than the
provisions of any agreements entered into by the managing underwriters with the
Other Holders) to preclude PharmaBio from directly or indirectly offering to
sell, contracting to sell or otherwise disposing of any shares of Common Stock,
any options or warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, or any securities
convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock for a period of time
not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of the
registration statement for the public offering.
15. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of
------------------
certain rules and regulations of the SEC that may permit the sale of securities
to the public without registration, Scios agrees to use its reasonable efforts
to make and keep public information regarding Scios available as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act and file with the
SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required by Scios under
the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and furnish to the
holder upon written request as to Scios' compliance with the reporting
requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934.
16. Registration Rights.
-------------------
(a) Piggyback Registration Rights.
-----------------------------
(i) If Scios plans at any time after January 1, 2002 to file a
registration statement under the Securities Act on a Form S-3 to register any
shares of Common Stock for sale by it or any of its stockholders (the "Piggyback
Registration Statement") (except in connection with any stock option plan, stock
purchase plan, savings or similar plan), the Scios shall provide PharmaBio with
the right to include Warrant Shares on the Piggyback Registration Statement (the
"Piggyback Right"), if PharmaBio is the stockholder of record of any Warrant
Shares at such time or has the vested right to acquire any Warrant Shares
pursuant to this Warrant Agreement at such time, by providing PharmaBio with at
least thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof. At the written request of
PharmaBio, given within twenty (20) days after the receipt of such notice, Scios
will use its best efforts to cause all of the Warrant Shares for which
registration shall have been requested to be included in the Piggyback
Registration Statement. Scios shall provide PharmaBio with two Piggyback Rights
to register Warrant Shares under this provision.
(ii) In the event that the proposed offering is an offering by
Scios that is, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of shares of
Common Stock, and the managing underwriters determine and advise in writing that
the inclusion of the Warrant Shares proposed to be included in the underwritten
public offering and any other issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock or
other securities proposed to be included therein by the security holders of the
Scios (the "Other Shares") would interfere with the successful marketing
(including pricing) of the shares, the number of PharmaBio's Warrant Shares and
the Other Shares to be included in such underwritten public offering shall be
reduced pro rata among PharmaBio and the holders of Other Shares. Scios shall
not limit the number of Warrant Shares
to be included in a registration statement in order to include stockholders of
Scios with no pre-existing registration rights.
(b) Demand Registration Right. Beginning after January 1,
-------------------------
2002, PharmaBio shall have the right to demand, by providing written notice to
Scios (the "Demand Registration Right"), that Scios file a registration
statement on Form S-3 to register Warrant Shares for resale by PharmaBio in an
offering that is not underwritten (the "Registration Statement") provided,
however, that Scios shall not be obligated to effect such a registration more
than once in any rolling twelve-month period or after two such registrations
have been effected. Scios agrees to use its best efforts (i) to file the
Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
within 30 days of receipt of PharmaBio's notice of its exercise of the Demand
Registration Right and (ii) to obtain the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement within 90 days of receipt of such notice, and to keep such
Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until
such time as the earlier to occur of 180 days, or until the holder's have
completed the distribution described in such Registration Statement. PharmaBio
agrees that it will cease making offers and sales under the Registration
Statement upon the giving of any notice (the "Notice") by Scios that the
Registration Statement must be amended or supplemented.
(c) Whenever Scios is required to register any of PharmaBio's
Warrant Shares pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 15, Scios shall
also be obligated to do the following:
(i) Furnish to PharmaBio such copies of preliminary and final
prospectuses and such other documents as PharmaBio may reasonably request to
facilitate the public offering of PharmaBio's Warrant Shares;
(ii) Use its best efforts to register or qualify the Warrant
Shares covered by said registration statement under the securities or Blue Sky
laws of such jurisdictions as PharmaBio may reasonably request; provided,
--------
however, that Scios shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in
-------
any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, take any action that would
subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is
not then so subject or subject Scios to any tax in any such jurisdiction where
it is not then so subject;
(iii) Permit PharmaBio or its counsel or other representatives,
at PharmaBio's expense, to inspect and copy such corporate documents and records
as may reasonably be requested by them; and
(iv) Furnish to PharmaBio a copy of all documents filed and all
correspondence to or from the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection
with any such offering.
(v) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements
to such Registration Statement or such Piggyback Registration Statement, as the
case may be, and the prospectus used in connection with such registration
statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities
Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
registration statement.
(vi) Notify each seller of securities covered by such a
Registration Statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event
as a result of which the prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as
then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact remits to a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing and, at the
request of any such seller, repair and furnish to such seller a reasonable
number of copies of a supplement to or amendment of such prospectus as need be
necessary so that such prospectus shall not contain such an untrue statement or
admission.
(d) PharmaBio shall bear all of the fees and expenses of its
counsel and all other customary "selling expenses" in connection with the
registration statement and the offering. PharmaBio shall also bear all other
expenses (including customary "registration expenses") in connection with the
preparation and filing of any Registration Statement or any Piggyback
Registration Statement under this Section 15, any registration or qualification
under the securities or Blue Sky laws of states in which the offering will be
made under either such registration statement and any filing fee of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. relating to such offering.
(e) In connection with any public underwritten offering, the
Scios and PharmaBio shall enter into a written agreement with the managing
underwriters in such form and containing such provisions as are customary in the
securities business for such an arrangement between such managing underwriters
and companies of the Scios' size and investment stature, including
indemnification.
