Inventory Certificate and to discuss with Seller any questions which Purchaser may have regarding the preparation of the Inventory Certificate. (ii) In the event that Purchaser delivers to Seller a written objection to Seller’s determination of the Inventory Value during the Objection Period, Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate to resolve such dispute, but if they are unable to reach a resolution within fifteen (15) Business Days after Seller delivers the Inventory Certificate, Seller and Purchaser shall jointly retain PricewaterhouseCoopers and shall submit such dispute to such firm for resolution; provided, however, that if PricewaterhouseCoopers refuses such retention, Seller and Purchaser (or, if Seller and Purchaser are unable to so agree within ten (10) days of PricewaterhouseCoopers refusing to be so retained, Seller’s and Purchaser’s respective independent accounting firms) shall jointly select another independent accounting firm of recognized national standing. Seller and Purchaser shall submit all information deemed relevant by such firm and shall make any records relating to or bearing upon such dispute available to the other party and to such firm. Each party shall further instruct such firm to render its decision within ten (10) Business Days after such firm accepts its selection pursuant to this Section 2.3(b)(ii) and shall reasonably cooperate with such firm and each other to enable such firm to render the decision within such period. The decision of such firm shall be the final determination of such dispute and shall be final and binding on both Seller and Purchaser. Seller and Purchaser shall bear the fees and expenses of such firm as such firm shall determine after considering the positions asserted by the parties in light of its decision. Nothing in this Agreement (other than the provisions of Sections 2.5(e), (f) and (h)) shall require that any matter other than disputes under this Section 2.3(b) be resolved by the procedure described above. (iii) The “Purchase Price Adjustment” shall be equal to the difference determined by subtracting (x) the Inventory Value as finally determined under Section 2.3(b)(i) or, if applicable, Section 2.3(b)(ii), from (y) the Initial Inventory Amount. If the Purchase Price Adjustment is a positive number, Seller shall pay to Purchaser the full amount of the Purchase Price Adjustment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account indicated by Purchaser. If the Purchase Price Adjustment is a negative number, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the absolute value of the full amount of the Purchase Price Adjustment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account previously indicated by Seller for payment of the Initial Purchase Price. Any payment required to be made pursuant to this Section 2.3(b)(iii) shall be made as follows: if Purchaser does not object in writing to Seller’s determination of the Inventory Value specified on the Inventory Certificate during the Objection Period, then the payment required hereunder shall be made within two (2) Business Days after the expiration of the Objection Period; and, if Purchaser objects in writing to Seller’s determination of the Inventory Value during the Objection Period, then the payment required hereunder shall be made within two (2) Business Days after the determination of the Inventory Value in accordance with Section 2.3(b)(ii). (c) Prior to the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to agree on an allocation of the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities among the Conveyed Assets in accordance with applicable Laws, including Section 1060 of the Code. If Seller and Purchaser are able to agree on such allocation on or prior to the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall not take any position on any Tax Return following the Closing Date inconsistent with the agreed allocation. If Seller and Purchaser are unable to agree on such

allocation on or prior to the Closing Date, neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further obligation to cooperate with the other party regarding such allocation or to prepare any Tax Return in a manner consistent with the position taken by the other party regarding such allocation.

If Purchaser and Seller are unable to agree on any of the amounts set forth in clauses (A), (B) or (C) above, such dispute shall be subject to the dispute resolution procedures in Section 2.5(e). (g) (i) If the Closing occurs prior to the last day of any calendar quarter, Purchaser shall prepare and submit all royalty reports and pay all royalties payable under Assumed Contracts with respect to sales of LEUKINE for the whole of such calendar quarter. Seller shall, within thirty (30) days of the end of such calendar quarter, provide Purchaser information reasonably necessary for Purchaser to determine Seller’s obligations for royalties incurred during that portion of the calendar quarter prior to the Closing. Purchaser shall invoice Seller for Seller’s share of the quarterly royalty payment amount (less Pre-Estimated Credit to be given to Seller pursuant to Section 2.5(g)(ii) hereof) within forty-five (45) days after the end of such calendar quarter. Seller shall pay the amounts owed by Seller and indicated on such invoice within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof. (ii) Seller shall be entitled to a credit from Purchaser for royalties prepaid by Seller prior to the Closing under the Assumed Contracts but attributable to sales of LEUKINE by Purchaser subsequent to the Closing (the “Actual Credit”). Seller shall calculate a pre-estimate of such credit (the “Pre-Estimated Credit”) in accordance with the following formula: A x (B – C) where: A is equal to net sales of LEUKINE (as “net sales” is defined in each applicable Assumed Contract under which prepaid royalties have been paid (in each case a “Royalty Agreement”)) in the year 2002 up to and including the Closing Date;

B is equal to the royalty rate(s) applicable under the Royalty Agreements calculated on the basis of actual net sales of LEUKINE in the year 2002 up to and including the Closing Date; and C is equal to the royalty rate(s) applicable to the Royalty Agreements calculated on the basis of estimated net sales of LEUKINE for the entire calendar year 2002 of $[*]. Seller shall, within thirty (30) days of the end of the calendar quarter in which the Closing occurs, deliver to Purchaser a statement setting out the amount of the Pre-Estimated Credit and the basis for Seller’s calculation thereof. Within 60 days after the end of calendar year 2002, Purchaser shall calculate the amount of the Actual Credit based on actual net sales of LEUKINE in calendar year 2002. If the adjustment results in an additional reimbursement of prepaid royalties due to Seller, such reimbursement shall be made within 90 days after the end of calendar year 2002. If the Actual Credit exceeds the Pre-Estimated Credit, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the difference. If the Pre-Estimated Credit exceeds the Actual Credit, Seller shall pay to Purchaser the difference. Any amount payable under the two preceding sentences will be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoice. (h) Once IMS Pipeline data (or such other pharmaceutical industry report service data as Purchaser and Seller shall agree if IMS Pipeline data is not available) is available for the calendar month in which the Closing occurs, Purchaser and Seller shall reasonably cooperate to agree, on the basis of IMS Pipeline data, on the number of months of inventory that is in wholesaler and distributor inventory as of the date selected by IMS Pipeline to measure wholesaler and distributor inventory for the calendar month in which the Closing occurs (the “Closing Inventory”). If the Closing Inventory is greater than [*] (the “Upper Inventory Limit”), then Seller shall remit to Purchaser an amount equal to (A) the Closing Inventory; less (B) the Upper Inventory Limit; multiplied by (C) [*]. Once Purchaser and Seller have agreed to the items in this Section 2.5(h), if any amount is owing from Seller to Purchaser, Purchaser shall invoice Seller for such amount. Purchaser’s invoice for such amount shall not be submitted to Seller until at least thirty (30) days have elapsed following the Closing Date. Seller shall pay Purchaser’s invoice in accordance with the payment terms set forth in Section 2.5(d). If Purchaser and Seller are unable to agree on any matter arising under this Section 2.5(h), such dispute shall be subject to the dispute resolution procedures in Section 2.5(e). (i) If Seller is legally required or is authorized by Purchaser to pay any amounts under this Section 2.5 that are the obligation of Purchaser, Seller shall invoice Purchaser and Purchaser shall reimburse Seller in a manner consistent with Section 2.5(d). SECTION 2.6 Nonassignable Assets. Nothing in this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be construed as an attempt or agreement to assign or transfer any Conveyed Asset (including any Assumed Contract) to Purchaser which by its terms or by Law is nonassignable without the consent of a third party or is cancelable by a third party in the event of an assignment or transfer (a “Nonassignable Asset”), unless and until such consent shall have been obtained.

To the extent permitted by applicable Law and by the terms of the applicable Nonassignable Asset, Seller or Seller Sub shall take or cause to be taken, at Purchaser’s expense, such actions as Purchaser may reasonably request which are required to be taken or appropriate in order to provide Purchaser with the benefits and burdens of the Nonassignable Asset. Seller or Seller Sub shall promptly pay over to Purchaser the net amount (after expenses and taxes) of all payments received by it in respect of all Nonassignable Assets. SECTION 2.7 Risk of Loss.

If any material is withheld by Purchaser pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Purchaser shall inform Seller as to the general nature of what is being withheld. (e) Following the Closing, for so long as such information is retained by Seller (which shall be for a period of at least eight (8) years), Seller shall permit Purchaser and its authorized representatives to have reasonable access and duplicating rights during normal business hours, upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, to the books, records and, subject to the second proviso of Section 5.2(g), personnel to the extent relating to the Conveyed Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Business, to the extent such access may reasonably be required: (i) in connection with the preparation of Purchaser’s accounting records or with any audits, (ii) in connection with the preparation of any Tax Returns or with any tax audits, (iii) in connection with any suit, claim, action, proceeding or investigation relating to the Conveyed Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Business or (iv) in connection with any required regulatory filing relating to the Conveyed Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Business; provided, that Purchaser shall reimburse Seller promptly for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Seller in connection with any such request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller need not disclose to Purchaser any information: (i) relating to pricing or other matters that are highly sensitive if (A) providing such portions of documents or information, in the opinion of Seller’s counsel, might reasonably result in antitrust difficulties for Seller and

(B) Seller designates such information as “outside counsel and retained experts only” and discloses such information to Purchaser’s outside counsel and retained experts; or (ii) which Seller is prohibited from disclosing by applicable Law or by a confidentiality agreement with a third party if, in the case of a confidentiality agreement, Seller has used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third party to such disclosure. If any material is withheld by Seller pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Seller shall inform Purchaser as to the general nature of what is being withheld. Seller may redact such portions of such books and records that do not relate to the Conveyed Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Business.

(g) Seller shall, and shall instruct its employees to, at Purchaser’s request, cooperate with Purchaser as may be reasonably required in connection with the investigation and defense of any suit, claim, action, proceeding or investigation relating to the Conveyed Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Business that is brought against Purchaser or any of its Affiliates at any time after the Closing; provided, however, that Purchaser shall reimburse Seller promptly for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Seller in connection with any such request; provided, further, that Purchaser shall not be permitted to have access to any employee to the extent such access would cause such employee to be unavailable to Seller during Seller’s normal business hours for more than twenty (20) hours in the aggregate. SECTION 5.3 Appropriate Action; Consents; Filings. (a) Subject to Section 5.3(d) hereof, Seller and Purchaser shall use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable, including to: (i) obtain from Governmental Entities any consents, licenses, permits, waivers, approvals, authorizations or orders required (A) to be obtained by Seller or Purchaser of any of their Affiliates to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (B) to avoid any action or proceeding by any Governmental Entity (including those in connection with the HSR Act to the extent necessary) in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and to permit the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby to occur as soon as reasonably possible and (ii) promptly make all necessary filings, and thereafter make any other required submissions, with respect to this Agreement required under (A) the HSR Act, to the extent necessary, (B) the FDCA or (C) any other applicable Law.

(ii) copies of all such filings and submissions to the non-filing party and its advisors prior to filing or submission and, if requested, to accept all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested in connection therewith. Seller and Purchaser may, as each deems reasonably advisable and necessary, designate any competitively sensitive information provided to the other under this Section 5.3(a) as “outside counsel only.” Such information shall be given only to outside counsel of the recipient. In addition, Purchaser and Seller may redact any information from such documents shared with the other party or its counsel that is not pertinent to the subject matter of the filing or submission. (b) Without limiting Sections 5.3(a) or 5.3(c), but subject to Section 5.3(d): (i) Purchaser and Seller shall as promptly as practicable following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, file with the United States Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice the notification and report form required for the transactions contemplated hereby, if applicable, and any supplemental information requested in connection therewith pursuant to the HSR Act and promptly provide to the Federal Trade Commission such information as may be requested by the Federal Trade Commission, and shall cause their respective officers and employees to respond to any information or other requests from the Federal Trade Commission (including complying with requests for in-person meetings), in connection with the Federal Trade Commission’s review of this Agreement and the Related Instruments and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; (ii) Purchaser and Seller shall provide information reasonably requested by the landlord of Seller’s 00 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx facility or any of such landlord’s lenders in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Sublease; (iii) Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to [*] on behalf of Purchaser; (iv) Seller shall (A) permit Purchaser and its Subsidiaries to correspond and meet with the FDA to discuss the acquisition by one of Purchaser’s Subsidiaries of each BLA and IND and the transfer of manufacturing and distribution of LEUKINE to one of Purchaser’s Subsidiaries, (B) use its reasonable efforts to include Purchaser in any discussions with the FDA regarding any BLA or IND, (C) if reasonably requested by Purchaser, upon reasonable notice, attend meetings or conference calls involving Purchaser or one of its Subsidiaries and the FDA related to any of the foregoing and (D) reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in endeavoring to have the FDA agree to the transfer of each BLA and IND to one of Purchaser’s Subsidiaries and to Purchaser’s Subsidiaries becoming the manufacturer and distributor of LEUKINE as of the Closing Date; (v) Purchaser and Seller shall use their reasonable best efforts to cooperate to obtain the written consents and Permits required by Section 6.2(e); and (vi) (A) at such time as Purchaser shall reasonably request, Seller shall request a pre-Closing inspection of Seller’s facilities involved in researching, developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling of LEUKINE by the Washington State Board of Pharmacy

Confidential Treatment Requested.

and shall notify Purchaser of the date and results of such inspection; (B) Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser and provide such information and documents as Purchaser reasonably requests, and such access to Seller’s facilities as Purchaser reasonably requests, in connection with Purchaser’s application for an In-State Wholesaler/Manufacturer License from the Washington State Board of Pharmacy; and (C) in connection with Purchaser’s application for such license, Purchaser may disclose to the Board of Pharmacy the proposed acquisition of LEUKINE by Purchaser and the identity of the facilities to be used by Purchaser in connection with Purchaser’s researching, developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling of LEUKINE. (c) Without limiting Sections 5.3(a) or 5.3(b), but subject to Section 5.3(d), Purchaser and Seller shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any consent, substitution, approval or amendment required to assign or transfer any Conveyed Asset to Purchaser and to novate all obligations and liabilities that constitute Assumed Liabilities and to obtain in writing the unconditional release of Seller and its Affiliates with respect to Assumed Liabilities so that, in any such case, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the Assumed Liabilities. (d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 5.3 and Section 5.4), (i) neither Seller nor its Affiliates (including, for purposes of this Section 5.3(d) only, Wyeth and Amgen Inc. and their respective Affiliates) nor Purchaser nor its Affiliates shall be required to (A) pay any material consideration to any Person or (B) reimburse the other party (or any of its Affiliates) for any costs or expenses of such other party (or any of its Affiliates) incurred in connection with Section 2.6 or paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 5.3 and (ii) neither Purchaser nor its Affiliates nor Seller nor its Affiliates shall be required to (A) commit to any divestitures, licenses or hold separate or similar arrangements with respect to its assets or conduct of business arrangements, whether as a condition to obtaining any approval from a Governmental Entity or any other Person or for any other reason or (B) commence any litigation. Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Representatives (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) not to, contact any suppliers to, or customers of, the Business, counterparties (other than Seller or Seller Sub) to any Assumed Contracts, or any Governmental Entity in connection with or pertaining to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Related Instruments prior to Purchaser and Seller consulting in good faith with each other with respect to the approach to be taken by Purchaser with respect to such Persons, unless Seller shall give its prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld); it being understood that Purchaser will need to contact all customers of and suppliers to the Business prior to the Closing, and Purchaser must be able to comply with its obligations under Sections 5.3(a), (b) and (c). SECTION 5.4 Further Assurances. From time to time following the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further conveyances, notices, assumptions, releases and acquittances and such other instruments, and shall take such further actions, as may be necessary or appropriate to assure fully to Purchaser and its respective successors or assigns, all of the properties, rights, titles, interests, estates, remedies, powers and privileges intended to be conveyed to Purchaser under this Agreement and the Related Instruments and to assure fully to Seller and its Affiliates and their successors and assigns, the

assumption of the liabilities and obligations intended to be assumed by Purchaser under this Agreement, and to otherwise make effective the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Related Instruments. SECTION 5.5 Tax Matters. (a) Purchaser and Seller shall share equally any Transaction Taxes imposed in connection with the transfer of the Conveyed Assets, the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities and the execution or performance of any of the Related Instruments and the Intellectual Property Transfer Agreements, provided that the aggregate amount of such Transaction Taxes do not exceed $[*]. Any such Transaction Taxes in excess of $[*] shall be paid by Seller. (b) As promptly as practicable following the Closing, all state and local real and personal property Taxes, assessments and similar ad valorem obligations (“Property Taxes”) that are past due or have become due and payable in the normal course of business upon any of the Conveyed Assets on or before the Closing Date will be paid by Seller together with any penalty or interest thereon. As soon as practicable after Property Taxes for a taxable period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date become due and owing and, to the extent such Taxes are paid by Seller, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the amount of such Property Taxes for which Purchaser is liable under this Section 5.5(b). For purposes of Section 5.5, all Property Taxes levied with respect to the Conveyed Assets for a taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser based upon the number of days of such period on or prior to the Closing Date and the number of days of such period after the Closing Date. (c) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.5(a), Seller shall pay all Taxes relating to the operation or ownership of the Business or the Conveyed Assets regardless of when due and payable, (i) with respect to all taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date and (ii) with respect to all taxable periods beginning before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date, but only with respect to the portion of such period up to and including the Closing Date. (d) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.5(a), Purchaser shall pay all Taxes relating to the operation or ownership of the Business or the Conveyed Assets, regardless of when due and payable, (i) with respect to all taxable periods beginning after the Closing Date and (ii) with respect to all taxable periods beginning before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date, but only with respect to the portion of such periods commencing after the Closing Date. (e) After the Closing Date, refunds of Taxes paid by Seller that are attributable to periods ending on or before the Closing Date or to the Pre-Transfer Period shall be for the account of Seller. Purchaser shall take such actions as reasonably requested by Seller to obtain such refunds and shall deliver to Seller any such refunds immediately upon receipt thereof. All refunds of Taxes paid by Purchaser attributable to periods beginning after the Closing Date or to the Post-Transfer Period shall be for the account of Purchaser.

Confidential Treatment Requested.

(f) At the Closing, Purchaser shall provide Seller with a “State of Washington Resale Certificate,” form number 27-0020, for the Inventory and a “State of Washington Manufacturer’s Sales and Use Tax Exemption Certificate,” form number 27-0021, to the extent applicable. To the extent that the transfer of the Inventory originates in Washington, the receipt of the Inventory will occur, to the extent possible, outside Washington to comply with Washington Administrative Code 000-00-000. (g) In connection with the transfer of the Conveyed Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser shall either (i) remit the portion of any resulting retail sales Tax for which Purchaser is responsible pursuant to Section 5.5(a) directly to Seller or (ii) provide Seller with documentation of payment of the required use Tax, which may include (but not be limited to) a copy of the “Washington State Excise Tax Return” or a “Use Tax Return” form. (h) Seller shall deliver to Purchaser at the Closing a certificate in form and substance consistent with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii)(B), duly executed and acknowledged, certifying that neither Seller nor Seller Sub is a foreign person for purposes of the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act. (i) Purchaser shall not file a notice of acquisition with the Washington State taxing authority under Section 00-00-000 of the Revised Code of Washington with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. SECTION 5.6 Publicity. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law or applicable stock exchange requirements, prior to the Closing, neither Purchaser nor Seller shall, and each of them shall cause their respective Affiliates, representatives and agents not to, issue or cause the publication of any press release or public announcement with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the express prior approval of the other party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that each of Seller and Purchaser may make any public statement in response to questions by the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences or financial analyst calls, or issue press releases, so long as any such public statement or press release is not inconsistent with prior public disclosures, press releases or public statements approved by the other party pursuant to this Section 5.6 and which do not reveal non-public information about the other party. The parties hereto agree to issue a joint press release in the form which has previously been agreed to by both parties, to announce the execution of this Agreement. The parties agree to issue a joint press release, reasonably acceptable to both parties, to announce the Closing and, except as required by applicable Law or applicable stock exchange requirements, not to issue any press release or make any other public statement inconsistent with such press release. SECTION 5.7 Certain Provisions Relating to the Transfer. (a) In the event that record or beneficial ownership or possession of any asset or liability of Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Conveyed Assets and the Assumed Liabilities) has been transferred to Purchaser on or after the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser

shall reasonably cooperate with each other and Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to transfer, or cause to be transferred, to Seller such asset or liability; and, pending such transfer to Seller, Purchaser shall hold such asset or liability and provide to Seller all of the benefits and liabilities associated with the ownership and operation of such asset or liability and, accordingly, Purchaser shall cause such asset or liability to be operated or retained as may reasonably be instructed by Seller, all at Seller’s expense. (b) Except in respect of Nonassignable Assets (which are the subject of Section 2.6 hereof), in the event that record or beneficial ownership or possession of any Conveyed Asset or any Assumed Liability has not been transferred to Purchaser on the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with each other and Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to transfer, or cause to be transferred to Purchaser, such Conveyed Asset or Assumed Liability; and pending such transfer to Purchaser, Seller shall hold such Conveyed Asset or Assumed Liability and, provide to Purchaser all of the benefits and liabilities associated with the ownership and operation of such Conveyed Asset or Assumed Liability and, accordingly, Seller shall cause such Conveyed Asset or Assumed Liability to be operated or retained as may reasonably be instructed by Purchaser, all at Purchaser’s expense. (c) Seller and Seller Sub shall not destroy, surrender possession of or otherwise dispose of any of the books, records, literature, lists or any other written or recorded information of Seller and Seller Sub conveyed pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(vii) until Seller delivers such information pursuant to Section 2.4(d). SECTION 5.8 Transferred Employees. (a) Prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall offer, or cause to be offered, employment, effective as of the date specified in the last sentence of Section 5.8(i), to each Employee who is identified by Purchaser in a written list delivered to Seller not later than May 31, 2002 (each, a “Designated Employee”). Such offer of employment shall be on terms and conditions comparable (but not necessarily identical) to those terms and conditions of employment applicable to such Employees immediately prior to the Closing. Employees who accept such offer of employment with Purchaser as of the Closing are referred to herein as the “Transferred Employees.” Seller shall before the Closing (i) identify those service providers in relation to the Business who qualify as independent contractors and any temporary agency agreements covering services related to the Business and (ii) at Purchaser’s election, assist Purchaser in retaining the services provided by such contractors and under such agreements. For a period of one year immediately following the Closing, neither Purchaser nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective successors shall employ, or engage as a consultant or independent contractor, any Designated Employee who does not become a Transferred Employee. From the date hereof until the date on which Purchaser has provided Seller with a written notice identifying the Designated Employees pursuant to this Section 5.8(a), Seller shall ensure that no Employee is transferred to any business unit of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or ERISA Affiliates to the extent such transfer would, immediately following the Closing, interfere with Purchaser’s ability to effectively employ the Conveyed Assets. As of the Closing Date, Seller shall terminate the employment of each Designated Employee who has rejected an offer of employment made by Purchaser in accordance with this Section 5.8, and for a period of one year immediately following the Closing, none of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their

respective successors shall employ, or engage as a consultant or independent contractor, any Designated Employee; provided, however, that any Designated Employee who does not commence employment with Purchaser effective as of the date specified in the last sentence of Section 5.8(i) may continue to receive compensation from (but not perform services for) Seller for such period of time as is necessary for Seller to avoid liability under each of the laws, rules and regulations referenced in Section 5.8(l) (but in no event may such period extend beyond (x) August 25, 2002, or, if later, the Closing Date, or (y) if Purchaser does not require such Designated Employee to accept or reject Purchaser’s offer of employment prior to June 10, 2002, seventy-five (75) days following the date such Designated Employee rejects such offer of employment). (b) For a period of at least two years following the Closing, Purchaser shall provide employee benefits and compensation (excluding any benefits attributable to equity-based plans or grants) to Transferred Employees that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to such persons immediately prior to the Closing. With respect to each benefit plan of Purchaser (“Purchaser Benefit Plan”) in which Transferred Employees subsequently participate, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting and, with respect to any vacation or severance plan or policy only, for the purpose of determining benefit entitlement, service with Seller (and predecessor employers to the extent Seller provides past service credit) shall be treated as service with Purchaser; provided, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such service was not recognized under the applicable Seller Benefit Plan. Such service also shall apply for purposes of satisfying any waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements, or the application of any pre-existing condition limitations to the extent, in the case of any insured benefits, the relevant insurance coverage may be obtained by Purchaser on commercially reasonable terms. Each Purchaser Benefit Plan shall waive pre-existing condition limitations to the same extent waived under the applicable Seller Benefit Plan to the extent, in the case of any insured benefits, the relevant insurance coverage may be obtained by Purchaser on commercially reasonable terms. Transferred Employees shall be given credit for amounts paid under a corresponding benefit plan during the same period for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Seller Benefit Plan for the plan year in which the Closing occurs. (c) Effective as of the Closing, Purchaser shall assume Seller’s liabilities and obligations under the Immunex Corporation Employee Severance Plan, as amended on February 12, 2002, and the Immunex Corporation Amended and Restated Leadership Continuity Plan, as amended on October 25, 2001 (collectively, the “Severance Plans”) with respect to each Transferred Employee and shall make all required payments under the Severance Plans with respect to Transferred Employees. Purchaser shall make payments (other than payments which become payable immediately after the consummation of the Merger solely as a result of the consummation of the Merger, in respect of which Seller or its Affiliates shall remain solely liable) to the Transferred Employees to which such Transferred Employees would have become entitled under the Immunex Corporation Retention Plan treating service with Purchaser and its Affiliates as service with Seller for this purpose. (d) Purchaser shall amend its 401(k) savings plan if necessary to accept eligible roll-overs by a Transferred Employee.

(e) Effective as of the Closing, except as required by applicable Law, Purchaser shall provide each Transferred Employee with the number of his or her unused accrued vacation days (or at Purchaser’s discretion shall provide payments in lieu of such days but only to the extent Purchaser does so on the same terms as its treatment of similarly situated employees) outstanding as of the Closing under the applicable vacation policy of Seller and shall prevent the forfeiture of any such days, provided Seller, at Closing, pays Purchaser an amount equal to the aggregate cost of compensating Transferred Employees for such days. (f) Seller shall retain liability for all stock options and other grants of rights to purchase Seller’s common stock as well as grants of restricted stock, restricted units and any other equity or equity-based awards under equity or other equity-based plans and programs of Seller and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries (“Equity Awards”). As of or prior to the Closing, Seller shall fully vest (or cause to become fully vested) any Equity Award held by Transferred Employees. (g) Except as provided in Section 5.8(c), Seller shall retain liability for all deferred, bonus and other incentive compensation accrued in respect of Transferred Employees’ service and performance with Seller prior to the Closing and Seller shall make any payment due thereunder to the Transferred Employees no later than the time, whether on or after the Closing, when Seller (or its successor) generally pays the Other Employees such compensation and without regard to whether a Transferred Employee is employed by Seller on such date. (h) Seller shall retain responsibility for all short-term and long-term disability benefits payable in respect of disabilities that commenced on or before the Closing Date for all Transferred Employees. Seller shall be responsible for all claims for workers’ compensation benefits, which are incurred on or prior to the Closing Date by Transferred Employees. Purchaser shall be responsible for all claims for such benefits, which are incurred after the Closing Date by such Transferred Employees. For purposes of this Section 5.8(h), a claim for workers compensation benefits shall be deemed to be incurred when the event giving rise to the claim occurs (the “Workers’ Compensation Event”). If the Workers’ Compensation Event occurs over a period both on or prior to and after the Closing Date, the claim shall be the joint responsibility and liability of Seller and Purchaser and shall be equitably apportioned among them based upon the relevant periods of time that the Workers’ Compensation Event transpired both on or prior to and after the Closing Date. Seller shall be responsible in accordance with the terms of its applicable welfare plans in effect on or prior to the Closing Date for all welfare, medical and dental claims for expenses incurred on or prior to the Closing Date by Transferred Employees and their dependents. Reimbursement of such Transferred Employees and their dependents for welfare, medical and dental expenses associated with such claims shall be determined in accordance with the terms of such Seller plans in effect on or immediately prior to the Closing Date. Purchaser shall be responsible for all covered welfare, medical and dental claims for expenses incurred after the Closing Date by Transferred Employees and their dependents pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of plans maintained by Purchaser and in which Transferred Employees and their dependents become enrolled following the Closing Date. (i) Except as prohibited by Law, Seller shall furnish Purchaser with such information concerning Employees, and shall provide Purchaser with access to the Employees (in a manner to be mutually agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser), as is reasonably requested by

Purchaser; provided, however, that following the time Purchaser delivers to Seller the list of Designated Employees in accordance with Section 5.8(a), Seller shall only be required to provide such information or such access with respect to Designated Employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) after the date of this Agreement and prior to the time Purchaser delivers to Seller the list of Designated Employees in accordance with Section 5.8(a), Seller shall notify Purchaser of the name of each Employee whose employment with Seller has terminated within five (5) Business Days following such termination and (ii) after the time Purchaser delivers to Seller the list of Designated Employees in accordance with Section 5.8(a) and prior to the Closing, Seller shall notify Purchaser of the name of each Designated Employee whose employment with Seller has terminated within five (5) Business Days following such termination. The employment of the Transferred Employees by Seller and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries shall end at 11:59 p.m. on the Closing Date and the employment of the Transferred Employees by Purchaser shall commence at 12:00 a.m. on the day immediately following the Closing Date. (j) Purchaser and Seller shall, to the extent practicable, (i) treat Purchaser as a “successor employer” and Seller as a “predecessor,” within the meaning of Sections 3121(a)(1) and 3306(b)(1) of the Code, with respect to Transferred Employees to be employed by Purchaser for purposes of Taxes imposed under the United States Federal Unemployment Tax Act or the United States Federal Insurance Contributions Act, and (ii) cooperate with each other to avoid the filing of more than one IRS Form W-2 with respect to each such Transferred Employee for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs. (k) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a Transferred Employee commences an action, suit or proceeding relating to an employment-related claim based on actions or events occurring over a period both preceding and following the Closing Date, any resulting liability shall be the joint responsibility of Seller and Purchaser and shall be equitably apportioned among them based on the relevant periods of time that such actions or events transpired preceding and following the Closing Date. (l) Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller Indemnified Parties harmless against all liabilities and obligations which may arise under the Worker Adjustment Retraining Notification Act, 29 U.S.C. Section 2101 et seq., or under any similar provision of any federal, state, regional or local law, rule, or regulation (including, but not limited to, any costs, expenses or fees incurred by Seller Indemnified Parties relating to litigation brought under the foregoing) arising as a result of any employment losses (i) of any Transferred Employees occurring after the Closing Date or (ii) of any Designated Employees occurring prior to, on or after the Closing Date exclusively as a result of Purchaser failing to offer employment to any Designated Employees in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.8. Except to the extent prohibited by Law, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate fully in all matters reasonably necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 5.8 and the transition of Transferred Employees to employment with Purchaser, including exchanging documents, employee data or other information in respect of the Designated Employees (in electronic format to the extent practicable) relating to payroll administration and employee benefit plan coverages on a timely basis so as to assist Purchaser in incorporating such documents, information and data into Purchaser’s payroll administration and benefits information systems as early as practicable prior to the Closing; provided, that if any Designated Employee declines Purchaser’s offer of employment made pursuant to Section 5.8(a), no further information need be provided thereafter in respect of such Designated

Employee and Purchaser shall return to Seller all information theretofore provided to Purchaser with respect to such Designated Employee. SECTION 5.9 Use of Seller’s Trademarks and Logos. The parties agree that during the Sell-off Period, Purchaser shall be entitled to continue to use the name “Immunex”, the National Drug Code numbers used by Seller on it packaging for all presentations of LEUKINE, or any trade names, trademarks, identifying logos or service marks related thereto or employing the word “Immunex” or any part or variation of any of the foregoing or any confusingly similar trade names, trademarks or logos (collectively, the “Seller’s Trademarks and Logos”) on any Inventory, packaging, business cards, schedules, stationery, displays, signs, promotional materials, manuals, forms, and other material used in the Business, without any obligation on the part of Purchaser to pay royalties or similar fees to Seller during the Sell-off Period. Purchaser agrees that: (i) immediately upon termination of the Sell-off Period, Purchaser shall cease and desist from all further use of the Seller’s Trademarks and Logos and will adopt new trade names, trademarks, identifying logos and service marks related thereto which are not confusingly similar to the Seller’s Trademarks and Logos; and (ii) except as set forth in this Section 5.9, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall make any use of the Seller’s Trademarks and Logos. Purchaser shall not use the Seller’s Trademarks and Logos in any manner that might dilute, tarnish, disparage or reflect adversely on Seller or the Seller’s Trademarks and Logos. Subject to the foregoing, from and after the Closing, Purchaser shall be entitled to represent itself as the owner of the Business. SECTION 5.10 Regulatory and Product Obligations. (a) From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall be responsible for all contacts with the FDA and other regulatory authorities with respect to LEUKINE, and all other responsibilities under the Required Permits which constitute Conveyed Assets; provided, that either party shall notify the other party immediately, and in no event later than (A) two Business Days after receipt of any contact or communication from the FDA or any other Governmental Entity and (B) three (3) Business Days after receipt of any contact or communication with any other third party, that, in either case, in any way requests or suggests the need for a recall or withdrawal of a LEUKINE product lot manufactured by or on behalf of Seller or otherwise calls into question the quality or safety of such a product lot. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with each other in connection with any investigation and responses thereto relating. (b) From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall be responsible for the evaluation, investigation, analysis and reporting to the FDA of any adverse experience report in connection with LEUKINE received by either Purchaser or Seller from and after the Closing from any source (including any patient, health care professional or other customer of the Business), regardless of whether the LEUKINE involved in any such adverse experience report was sold by Seller or Purchaser. Adverse experience reports received by Seller relating to LEUKINE after the Closing shall be reported by Seller to Purchaser within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such adverse experience reports by Seller. Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with the investigation and analysis of (i) all adverse experience reports that relate to the period before the Closing and (ii) all adverse experience reports that relate to the period following the Closing until such time as Seller’s name

no longer appears on the label of LEUKINE sold by Purchaser, provided that Seller has complied with the provisions of Section 5.9 hereof. Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate in the preparation of any postmarketing periodic adverse experience reports required by 21 C.F.R.600.80(c)(2) that relate to any period during which there were both adverse experiences reported to Seller prior to the Closing and adverse experiences reported to Seller or Purchaser after the Closing. In connection with any such report, Seller shall prepare a narrative summary relating to any adverse experiences reported to Seller before the Closing and submit the same to Purchaser at least thirty (30) days before the date such postmarketing periodic adverse experience report is due to be submitted to FDA pursuant to 21 C.F.R. 600.80(c)(2) along with all other items required by the cited regulation that relate to such period, and Purchaser shall prepare the narrative summary relating to any adverse experiences reported to Purchaser or Seller after the Closing along with all other items required by the cited regulation that relate to such period, and Purchaser shall submit such postmarketing periodic adverse experience report to the FDA including the narrative summary prepared by Seller in the form submitted to Purchaser in accordance with this Section 5.10(b). Purchaser shall be responsible for the preparation and distribution of any required summary bridging report. A copy of the post-marketing periodic report and summary bridging report will be provided to Seller contemporaneously with the submission of such report(s) by Purchaser to regulatory authorities. (c) From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall be responsible for responding to any product complaint related to LEUKINE that is received by either Purchaser or Seller from and after the Closing from any source and for investigating and analyzing such product complaint and making required reports to the FDA, regardless of whether the LEUKINE involved was sold by Seller or Purchaser; provided, that in the case of open complaints existing as of the Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall agree on a case-by-case basis as to which party shall be responsible for resolution of such complaints. Each party shall notify the other in the event that such a party receives such a product complaint relating to a LEUKINE product lot manufactured by Seller, and Seller shall notify Purchaser of all product complaints received by Seller relating to LEUKINE. Purchaser shall have no obligation to report product complaints relating to LEUKINE to Seller if such LEUKINE was not manufactured by Seller. For any product complaint that is reportable by one party to the other, the product complaint recipient shall notify the other party within two (2) Business Days if the complaint involves allegations of suspected or actual product tampering, contamination or mislabeling, and in the case of any other product complaint, the product complaint recipient shall notify the other party within three (3) Business Days. A product complaint received by Seller which also involves an adverse experience report shall be reported by Seller to Purchaser as set forth in Section 5.10(b). Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with each other in connection with any investigation and response to any product complaint. (d) From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall assign batch numbers to LEUKINE manufactured by or on behalf of Purchaser that are distinct from the batch numbers assigned to LEUKINE manufactured by or on behalf of Seller. (e) Seller and Purchaser agree that: (i) for any calendar quarter in which both Seller and Purchaser sold LEUKINE under Seller’s NDC number, Seller shall report to Purchaser the Sales Information relating to sales of LEUKINE by Seller, in sufficient time to permit Purchaser to complete any analysis necessary for governmental reporting of such

information, complete any necessary governmental reporting forms and submit the required report(s) to the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services; and (ii) for any calendar quarter in which only Purchaser sells LEUKINE under Seller’s NDC number and for any period for which Seller is required to file any such report which Seller has not yet filed as of the Closing Date (and for which Seller provides the Sales Information to Purchaser in sufficient time to permit Purchaser to perform any necessary calculations and to complete required reports), Purchaser shall complete any analysis of the Sales Information necessary for governmental reporting of such information, complete any necessary governmental reporting forms and submit the required report(s) to the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services. If required by the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services to accomplish the intent of this Section 5.10(e), Seller and Purchaser shall enter into a Data Reporting Agreement containing the agreements set forth in this Section 5.10(e). For purposes of this Section 5.10(e), “Sales Information” shall mean best price and data from which average manufacturer’s price may be calculated (including gross sales, returns, invoice quantity, return quantity, chargeback dollars, chargeback units, and chargeback sales). (f) Purchaser shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the date hereof, file with the State of Washington Board of Pharmacy (the “WBP”) a properly completed (other than with respect to the actual Closing Date) application for a license in connection with the manufacture and distribution of pharmaceutical products in connection with the change of ownership of the Business contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the license in connection with the manufacture of pharmaceutical products Permit, including supplying any information and answering questions, if any, raised by the WBP. Following the filing by Purchaser of the application with the WBP for the license referred to in the previous sentence, Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser and the WBP in connection with Purchaser’s application for such license. SECTION 5.11 Agreement Not to Compete; Agreement Not to Solicit. (a) Seller understands that Purchaser shall be entitled to protect and preserve the going concern value of the Business following the Closing to the extent permitted by Law and that Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement absent the provisions of this Section 5.11 and, therefore: (i) Subject to Section 5.11(b), for a period of [*], Seller shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, engage in developing (to the extent such development involves human clinical trials for a product which is or is intended to be, directly or indirectly, a product manufactured, marketed or sold by or on behalf of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries based on granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor), manufacturing, marketing or selling any product based on granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor; and (ii) for a period of [*], Seller shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, solicit or hire any Transferred Employees or any other employee of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries primarily engaged in the Business, unless such Transferred

Confidential Treatment Requested.

Employee or other employee has had his or her employment terminated by Purchaser or its Subsidiaries prior to commencement of employment discussions between Seller (or any of its Subsidiaries) and such Transferred Employee or other employee; provided, that if a Transferred Employee or other employee responds to any general public advertisement placed or general solicitation undertaken by Seller or its Subsidiaries, such advertisement or general solicitation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 5.11(a)(ii). (b) Notwithstanding Section 5.11(a)(i), Seller may (i) own, directly or indirectly, up to (A) ten percent (10%) of the outstanding equity securities of any Person which owns or operates a business that develops, manufactures, market or sells any product based on granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor, the common equity securities of which are publicly traded or listed on any securities exchange or automated quotation system, or (B) ten percent (10%) of the outstanding equity securities of any Person which owns or operates a business that develops, manufactures, market or sells any product based on granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor, the common equity securities of which are not publicly traded or listed on any securities exchange or automated quotation system, or (ii) acquire any Person, directly or indirectly (whether by acquisition, merger or other business combination), provided that, in the case of clause (ii), if the acquired Person owns, or has rights to, any product based on granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor, Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to divest such product within nine (9) months following the consummation of the acquisition of such Person or as soon thereafter as possible. (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that the remedy of indemnity payments pursuant to Article VIII and other remedies at law would be inadequate in the case of any breach of the covenants contained in Section 5.11(a), and, accordingly, Purchaser shall be entitled to equitable relief, including the remedy of specific performance, with respect to any breach or attempted breach of such covenants. (d) For purposes of this Section 5.11 only, “granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor” shall mean a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence as set forth in Section 5.11(d) of the Seller Disclosure Letter and any polypeptide sequence having eighty percent (80%) or greater identity therewith. SECTION 5.12 Insurance. In the event that prior to the Closing Date any Conveyed Asset suffers any damage, destruction or other loss as a result of a casualty event, Seller shall, after the Closing Date, (i) promptly pay to Purchaser all insurance proceeds received by Seller with respect to such damage, destruction or other loss, less any proceeds applied to the physical restoration of such asset, and (ii) assign to Purchaser all rights of Seller against third parties (other than against its insurance carriers) with respect to any causes of action, whether or not litigation has commenced as of the Closing Date, in connection with such damage, destruction or other loss; provided, however, that the proceeds of such insurance shall be subject to (and recovery thereon shall be reduced by the amount of) any applicable deductibles and co-payment provisions or any payment or reimbursement obligations of Seller in respect thereof; provided, further, that Seller shall not be required to pay any insurance proceeds under any insurance policy which constitutes “self-insurance” or which is subject to a retroactive premium increase.

SECTION 5.13 Certain Transactions. From the date hereof until the Closing Date, Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, acquire or agree to acquire by merging or by consolidating with, or by purchasing assets of or a substantial portion of equity in, or any other manner, any business or any corporation, partnership, association or other business organization or division thereof engaged in the business of developing, marketing or selling any G-CSF or GM-CSF product (a “Restricted Business”) unless (i) the terms of such acquisition require a disposition of such Restricted Business prior to the closing of such acquisition and (ii) such acquisition would not, and would not reasonably be expected to, materially delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. SECTION 5.14 Use of Intellectual Property. Purchaser and its Subsidiaries shall not actively encourage any Transferred Employee to breach any confidential disclosure agreement between such Transferred Employee and Seller (or any of its Subsidiaries) with respect to trade secrets that are not related to LEUKINE or the Business. SECTION 5.15 No Solicitation. From the date of this Agreement to the earlier to occur of the Closing or termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VII, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors and representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or encourage any Other Bid, (ii) enter into any agreement with respect to any Other Bid or (iii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any information with respect to, or take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Other Bid. In the event that the Seller (or any of its Subsidiaries) receives a proposal relating to any such transaction, Seller shall promptly advise Purchaser of such proposal. As used in this Section 5.15, “Other Bid” shall mean any proposal for a sale, spin-off or other disposition or similar transaction involving the Business or any of the Conveyed Assets, other than (A) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (B) the sale of inventory in the ordinary course of business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall not be responsible for any actions undertaken by Amgen Inc. or Wyeth or their respective officers, directors, employees or representatives. ARTICLE VI CONDITIONS SECTION 6.1 Conditions to Each Party’s Obligations. The respective obligations of each party to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to the satisfaction or waiver by Purchaser and Seller (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) at or prior to the Closing of the following conditions:

(a) The waiting period (including any extensions thereof) applicable to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement required pursuant to the HSR Act, to the extent necessary, shall have expired or been terminated; and (b) There shall not be in effect any statute, regulation, order, decree or judgment of any Governmental Entity, which makes illegal or enjoins or prevents the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. SECTION 6.2 Conditions to Obligations of Purchaser.

Except as set forth on Section 3.6(a) of the Seller Disclosure Letter, since December 31, 2001, there shall not have been any change, event, development, effect or occurrence that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; (b) Seller shall have performed and complied in all material respects with all agreements and covenants required to be performed or complied with by Seller under this Agreement at or prior to the Closing; (c) Purchaser shall have received from Seller a certificate, dated the Closing Date, duly executed by an executive officer of Seller, to the effect of Section 6.2(a) and Section 6.2(b) above; (d) There shall not be pending any action, litigation or proceeding by any Governmental Entity seeking to (i) prohibit or restrain the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) seeking to impose or confirm limitations on the ability of Purchaser or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries to effectively exercise full rights of ownership of the Business or the Conveyed Assets after the Closing which, in the case of clause (i) or (ii), would have, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect or a material adverse effect on Purchaser and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) or materially increase the cost to Purchaser of consummating the transactions contemplated hereby or subject Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to any criminal or material civil liability; (e) (i) The written consents set forth on Section 6.2(e)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Letter shall have been obtained and (ii) (A) the Permit set forth on Section 6.2(e)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Letter shall have been obtained or (B) if such Permit is not so obtained, from the date hereof to the Closing, Seller’s operation of the Business shall have been in compliance with all applicable licensing requirements of R.C.W. Title 18, the administrative

code relating thereto and all regulations, administrative orders and practices and other requirements of the WBP (other than such non-compliance that does not or would not result in such Permit not having been obtained); and (f) Seller shall have delivered or caused to be delivered to Purchaser each of the documents specified in Section 2.4(b) hereof. SECTION 6.3 Conditions to Obligations of Seller. The obligation of Seller to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be further subject to the satisfaction at or prior to the Closing of the following conditions, any or all of which may be waived, in whole or in part, by Seller: (a) The representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in Article IV of this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (without giving effect to any “materiality” or “material adverse effect” qualifiers set forth therein) at and as of the Closing Date as if made at and as of such time (except to the extent expressly made as of an earlier date, in which case as of such earlier date), except where the failure of such representations and warranties to be true and correct, would not individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay, the performance or consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (b) Purchaser shall have performed and complied in all material respects with all agreements and covenants required to be performed or complied with by Purchaser under this Agreement at or prior to the Closing; (c) Seller shall have received from Purchaser a certificate dated the Closing Date, duly executed by an authorized officer of Purchaser, to the effect of Section 6.3(a) and Section 6.3(b) above; (d) Purchaser shall have delivered or caused to be delivered to Seller each of the documents specified in Section 2.4(c) hereof; (e) The Merger shall have been consummated; and (f) Purchaser shall have paid to Seller the Initial Purchase Price in immediately available funds. ARTICLE VII TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT SECTION 7.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing by: (a) mutual written consent of Seller and Purchaser;

(b) Seller, by written notice to Purchaser given on or prior to August 1, 2002, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before 45 calendar days after the date hereof and if, in Seller’s good faith judgment, any of the conditions contained in Article VI (other than Section 6.2(a), (b), (c) or (f)) hereof would not reasonably be expected to be capable of satisfaction prior to August 1, 2002; provided, however, in the event that Seller sends Purchaser a notice of termination pursuant to this Section 7.1(b), such termination shall not be effective (x) until 15 Business Days after the date that Seller delivers such notice to Purchaser, during which period Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate and use their commercially reasonable efforts to cure the circumstances giving rise to Seller’s termination right hereunder, and (y) then only if Seller notifies Purchaser in writing after the end of such period that, Seller, in its good faith judgment, continues not to reasonably expect such conditions in Article VI to be capable of satisfaction prior to August 1, 2002; provided, however, the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(b) shall not be available to Seller if Seller has failed to perform in all material respects its obligations under Section 5.3 hereof and such failure has been the cause, or results in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before August 1, 2002. (c) Purchaser or Seller, by written notice to the other party, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before September 30, 2002 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(c) shall not be available to either such party if (i) such party has failed to perform in all material respects its obligations under Section 5.3 hereof and such failure has been the cause of, or results in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Date or (ii) the Merger has not been consummated at the time such party elects to exercise its rights under this Section 7.1(c) and the Merger Agreement has not been terminated at such time; (d) either Purchaser or Seller, by written notice to the other party, if the Merger Agreement has been terminated; (e) either Seller or Purchaser, by written notice to the other party, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before December 31, 2002; (f) either Seller or Purchaser, by written notice to the other party, if a competent Governmental Entity shall have issued a ruling, order or injunction or taken any other action which, in any such case, permanently restrains, enjoins or prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and such ruling, order or injunction or other action shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that in the event that such ruling, order or injunction or other action has been entered, the party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(f) shall have used its reasonable best efforts to remove such injunction, order or decree, in all material respects in accordance with Section 5.3 hereof; or (g) either Seller or Purchaser (provided that the terminating party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or other agreement contained herein), by written notice to the other party, if there shall have been a material breach of any of the representations, warranties, agreements or covenants set forth in this Agreement on the part of the other party which has rendered the satisfaction of any conditions contained in Article VI hereof impossible, such violation or breach has not been waived by the terminating party, and the breach has not been cured within thirty (30) days following the terminating party’s written notice

of such breach; provided, however, that if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days and the breaching party is diligently proceeding to cure such breach, this Agreement may not be terminated pursuant to this Section 7.1(g). SECTION 7.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and have no effect, without any liability on the part of any party hereto or its Affiliates, directors, officers or stockholders, other than the provisions of Article IX and Sections 3.15, 4.6, 5.2(b) and 7.2 hereof; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 7.2 shall relieve either party to this Agreement from liability to the other party for any willful and material breach of this Agreement. In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1, Purchaser will redeliver all documents, work papers and other materials of Seller relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, whether obtained before or after the execution hereof, in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. SECTION 7.3 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified at any time by Seller and Purchaser, but only by an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of each of Seller and Purchaser. SECTION 7.4 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, either party hereto may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or acts of the other party, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements of the other party contained herein or (iv) waive any condition to its obligations hereunder. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed by or on behalf of such party. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no failure to exercise, delay in exercising, or single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy by any party, and no course of dealing between the parties, shall constitute a waiver of any such right, power or remedy. ARTICLE VIII SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION SECTION 8.1 Survival Period. The representations and warranties of the parties contained in Articles III and IV hereof and in the Related Instruments (if any) shall survive the Closing until the second anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that (i) the representations and warranties of Seller in Section 3.7(b) shall survive the Closing until the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the representations and warranties of Seller in Sections 3.2, 3.7(a) and 3.15 hereof and Purchaser in Sections 4.2, 4.6 and 4.7 hereof shall survive the Closing indefinitely. The period

of time a representation or warranty survives the Closing pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be the “Survival Period” with respect to such representation or warranty. The parties intend for the preceding two sentences to shorten the otherwise applicable statute of limitations and agree that, subject to the last sentence of this Section 8.1, no claims (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, fraud) may be brought based upon, directly or indirectly, any of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in the Related Instruments after the Survival Period with respect to such representation and warranty. The covenants and agreements of the parties hereto contained herein shall survive in accordance with their respective terms. In the event notice of any claim for indemnification under Section 8.2(a)(i) or 8.2(b)(i) hereof shall have been given within the applicable Survival Period and such claim has not been finally resolved by the expiration of such Survival Period, the representations and warranties that are the subject of such claim shall survive the end of the Survival Period of such representations or warranties until such claim is finally resolved, but such representations and warranties shall only survive with respect to such asserted claim. SECTION 8.2 Indemnification. Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Article VIII, from and after the Closing: (a) Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, equity holders, partners, employees, agents and representatives and their respective heirs, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from and against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of, in connection with, or otherwise with respect to: (i) any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty of Seller set forth in Article III hereof or any representation or warranty of Seller or Seller Sub set forth in any of the Related Instruments or in the Closing certificate of Seller specified in Section 6.2(c) hereof, (ii) the failure to perform any covenant or agreement of Seller set forth in this Agreement or any covenant or agreement of Seller or Seller Sub set forth in any of the Related Instruments (other than the Sublease), (iii) any breach by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (or their successors and assigns) of any liability or obligation under any Dual Use Contract which liability or obligation constitutes an Excluded Liability and which breach is deemed by the counterparty to such Dual Use Contract to constitute a breach of such Dual Use Contract (provided that Purchaser (or its successors and assigns) is not then in breach of its obligations under such Dual Use Contract), (iv) the Excluded Assets, (v) the Excluded Liabilities, (vi) all product liability or similar claims to the extent arising out of the sale of LEUKINE by or on behalf of Seller or Seller Sub prior to the Closing, (vi) all product liability or similar claims to the extent arising out of the sale of LEUKINE by or on behalf of Seller or Seller Sub prior to the Closing, (vii) any acts or omissions of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the manufacturing, marketing or selling of LEUKINE or any defect in LEUKINE that is manufactured by or on behalf of Seller or Seller Sub, in each case, prior to the Closing or in any Inventory [*].

Confidential Treatment Requested.

(b) Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, equity holders, partners, employees, agents and representatives and their respective heirs, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Losses arising out of, in connection with or otherwise with respect to: (i) any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty of Purchaser set forth in Article IV hereof or any representation or warranty of Purchaser or any Designated Purchaser Subsidiary in any of the Related Instruments or in the Closing certificate of Purchaser specified in Section 6.3(c) hereof, (ii) the failure to perform any covenant or agreement of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement or any covenant or agreement of Purchaser or any Designated Purchaser Subsidiary set forth in any of the Related Instruments (other than the Sublease), (iii) the Assumed Liabilities, to the extent Seller is not obligated by Section 8.2(a) (without giving effect to Section 8.4) to indemnify Purchaser Indemnified Parties in connection with any such Loss, (iv) any breach by Purchaser (or its successors and assigns) of any liability or obligation under any Dual Use Contract which liability or obligation constitutes an Assumed Liability and which breach is deemed by the counterparty to such Dual Use Contract to constitute a breach of such Dual Use Contract (provided that Seller and its Subsidiaries (or their successors and assigns) are not then in breach of their obligations under such Dual Use Contract), (v) the ownership, use, operation or maintenance of the Conveyed Assets by or on behalf of Purchaser from and after the Closing, the sale of the Conveyed Assets by or on behalf of Purchaser from and after the Closing and the operation or conduct of the Business by or on behalf of Purchaser from and after the Closing, to the extent Seller is not obligated by Section 8.2(a) (without giving effect to Section 8.4) to indemnify Purchaser Indemnified Parties in connection with any such Loss, and (vi) all product liability or similar claims to the extent arising out of the manufacture, marketing or sale of LEUKINE by or on behalf of Purchaser from and after the Closing, but only to the extent such product liability or similar claim does not arise out of any acts or omissions of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with manufacturing or marketing LEUKINE or any defect in LEUKINE that is manufactured by or on behalf of Seller or Seller Sub, in each case, prior to the Closing or in any Inventory. (c) The obligations of Seller under Section 8.2(a) and the obligations of Purchaser under Section 8.2(b) shall not be affected by any knowledge by any Indemnified Party at or prior to the Closing of any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty or by any waiver of Section 6.2(a) or 6.3(a). SECTION 8.3 Indemnification Procedures. (a) In order for a party (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Article VIII in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim made by any Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party must notify the indemnifying party hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the Third-Party Claim promptly following receipt by such Indemnified Party of actual notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly following the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified

Party relating to the Third-Party Claim other than those notices and documents separately addressed to the Indemnifying Party. (b) If a Third-Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnified Party. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third-Party Claim, all the Indemnified Parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s reasonable request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third-Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third-Party Claim, that releases the Indemnified Party completely in connection with such Third-Party Claim and that would not otherwise adversely affect the Indemnified Party in any material respect. Notwithstanding the two foregoing paragraphs, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim (and shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending such Third-Party Claim) if the Third-Party Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the Indemnified Party that the Indemnified Party reasonably determines cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages. If such equitable relief or other relief portion of the Third-Party Claim can be so separated from that for money damages, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of the portion relating to money damages. (c) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party under Section 8.2(a) or 8.2(b) that does not involve a Third-Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party.

The failure by any Indemnified Party so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party under Section 8.2(a) or 8.2(b), except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced by such failure. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that any fact, event or circumstance which results in an adjustment to the Purchase Price (including in calculating the Purchase Price Adjustment) would also constitute a breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Party with respect to such breach or inaccuracy to the extent reflected in the Purchase Price adjustment. SECTION 8.4 Limitation of Liability. (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the liability of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify any Indemnified Party against any Losses pursuant to Sections 8.2(a)(i) or 8.2(b)(i) shall be limited to claims for indemnification with respect to which an Indemnified Party has given to the Indemnifying Party notice of such claim within the Survival Period specified in Section 8.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any Related Instruments, the parties agree that the indemnity provided in [*] hereof shall be the sole and exclusive indemnity provided in this Agreement and the Related Instruments with respect to matters which are the subject of [*]. (b) In no event shall Seller be liable for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) unless and until the aggregate of all Losses which are incurred or suffered by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties exceeds [*], in which case the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for all such Losses in excess of [*]; provided, however, that Seller shall not be required to make payments for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) and [*] in an aggregate amount in excess of the Initial Purchase Price; provided, further, that, in the event that a payment is made pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(ii) or Section 2.3(a)(iii) or both, then Seller shall not be required (at any particular time) to make payments for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) and [*] in an aggregate amount in excess of the sum of the Initial Purchase Price and any payments made to Seller pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(ii) and Section 2.3(a)(iii) at or prior to such time. In the event that indemnification payments are limited by the second proviso to the preceding sentence and subsequently a payment is required to be made under Section 2.3(a)(ii) or 2.3(a)(iii) and Seller is (but for such proviso) liable to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for indemnification of Losses in excess of the then-applicable cap, the amount of such payment under Section 2.3(a)(ii) or 2.3(a)(iii) shall be reduced by the amount of such excess. (c) [*] (d) In calculating amounts payable to an Indemnified Party, the amount of the indemnified Losses (i) shall not be duplicative of any other Loss for which an indemnification

claim has been made, (ii) shall be computed net of any amounts actually recovered by such Indemnified Party under any insurance policy with respect to such Losses, (iii) shall be increased to take account of any net Tax cost incurred by such Indemnified Party arising from the receipt of Indemnity Payments hereunder (grossed up for such increase) and (iv) shall be reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit realized by such Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Loss. In computing the amount of any such Tax cost or Tax benefit, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the receipt of any indemnity payment hereunder or the incurrence or payment of any indemnified Loss.

(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or in any Related Instrument, Purchaser and Seller each agree (and, by their acceptance of the benefits under this Agreement, each Purchaser Indemnified Party and Seller Indemnified Party agrees) that its sole and exclusive remedy after the Closing with respect to any and all claims relating to any or all of this Agreement, the Related Instruments and the Intellectual Property Transfer Agreements, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the Business, the Conveyed Assets and the Assumed Liabilities (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, fraud) shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser (and, by accepting the benefits under this Agreement, each Purchaser Indemnified Party) agrees that with respect to any Losses or other losses and damages under any Environmental Law that may be incurred by any Purchaser Indemnified Party, the indemnification provisions of this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, and Purchaser (and, by accepting the benefits under this Agreement, each Purchaser Indemnified Party) hereby waives and relinquishes, on behalf of itself and the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties and their respective Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, equity holders, partners, successors, assigns, Affiliates, agents, advisors or representatives and heirs, any and all rights, claims, or remedies such Person may have under any Environmental Laws, as presently in force or hereafter enacted, promulgated, or amended (including under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, or any similar state or local law) or at common law.
