made
effective as of June 30, 2006, is by and between Hana Biosciences, Inc., a
Delaware corporation having a place of business at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx,

and
Xxxx X. Xxxxxx (“Executive”).
INTRODUCTION
A. Pursuant
to the Stock Option Agreement between the Company and the Executive dated
February 1, 2004 (the “Stock
Option”),
the
Company granted Executive an option to purchase 141,007 shares of the Company’s
common stock, as adjusted to reflect stock splits, combinations, mergers and
other adjustments prior to the date hereof.
B. Due
to
the tax implications of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as
amended (the “Code”),
the
Company and Executive have agreed to amend the Stock Option in order to increase
the exercise price thereof to equal the fair market value of the common stock
as
of the date of the Stock Option pursuant to an Amendment to Stock Option
Agreement of even date herewith between the Company and Executive.
C. To
compensate Executive for the increase to the exercise price, the Company desires
to issue Executive 7,377 shares of restricted common stock, subject to the
terms
set forth herein and subject to the terms of the Stock Incentive
Plan.
AGREEMENT
Now,
Therefore,
it is
agreed as follows:
1. Grant
of Stock.
Subject
to the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Company’s 2004 Stock
Incentive Plan (the “Stock
Incentive Plan”),
the
Company hereby grants to Executive 7,377 shares of Company common stock (such
shares are referred to hereinafter as the “Shares”).
Upon
the execution of this Agreement, the Shares shall be registered on the books
of
the Company, and the Company shall cause the transfer agent and registrar of
its
common stock to issue a certificate in Executive’s name evidencing the Shares
(the “Stock
Certificate”).
Executive shall immediately thereafter deposit with the Company, together with
a
stock power endorsed in blank by Executive, the Stock Certificate to be held
by
the Company until such time as the restrictions set forth herein and under
the
Stock Incentive Plan have lapsed pursuant to paragraph 4 of this Agreement.
The
Stock Certificate shall bear a legend in substantially the following
form:
The
transferability of this certificate and the shares of Common Stock represented
by it are subject to the terms and conditions of a Restricted Stock Agreement
dated June 30, 2006 entered into between the registered owner and the Company.
A
copy of the agreement is on file in the office of the secretary of the
Company.
2. Rights
of Executive.
Upon
the execution of this Agreement and issuance of the Shares, Executive shall
become a stockholder with respect to the Shares and shall have all of the rights
of a stockholder with respect to the Shares, including the right to vote the
Shares and to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect
to
the Shares; provided,
however,
that
the Shares shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in paragraph 3 of
this
Agreement.
3. Restrictions.
Executive agrees that, in addition to the restrictions set forth in the Stock
Incentive Plan, at all times prior to the vesting of the Shares as contemplated
by paragraph 4 hereof:
(a) Executive
shall not sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise encumber the Shares;
and
(b) If
Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason whatsoever,
or Executive violates the terms of any confidentiality agreement,
non-solicitation covenant or covenant not to compete, however delineated, then,
subject to paragraph 4 hereof, Executive shall, for no consideration, forfeit
and transfer to the Company all of the Shares that remain subject to the
restrictions set forth in this paragraph 3.
4. Lapse
of Restrictions.
The
restrictions set forth in paragraph 3 shall lapse on January 1, 2007. Upon
request of Executive at any time after the date that the restrictions set forth
in paragraph 3 of this Agreement have lapsed and the Shares have become vested,
free and clear of all restrictions, except as provided in the Stock Incentive
Plan, the Company shall remove any restrictive notations placed on the books
of
the Company and the Stock Certificate in connection with such
restrictions.
5. Copy
of 2004 Stock Incentive Plan.
By the
execution of this Agreement, Executive acknowledges receipt of a copy of the
Stock Incentive Plan, the terms of which are hereby incorporated herein by
reference and made a part hereof by reference as if set forth in
full.
6. Administration.
This
Agreement shall at all times be subject to the terms of the Stock Incentive
Plan. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”)
or, if
delegated to a committee of the Board of Directors of the Company under the
Stock Incentive Plan, the committee (the “Committee”)
shall
have the sole and complete discretion with respect to all matters reserved
to it
by the Stock Incentive Plan and decisions of the Board or the Committee with
respect thereto and to this Agreement shall be final and binding upon Executive.
In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Stock
Incentive Plan, the provisions of the Stock Incentive Plan shall govern and
control.
7. Continuation
of Employment.
This
Agreement shall not confer upon Executive, and shall not be construed to confer
upon Executive, any right to continue in the employ of the Company for any
period of time, and shall not limit the rights of the Company in its sole
discretion (absent any other agreements to the contrary), to terminate the
employment of Executive at any time, with or without cause, for any reason
or no
reason, or to change Executive’s job responsibilities or rate of
compensation.
8. Withholding
of Tax.
To the
extent that the receipt of the Shares or the lapse of any restrictions thereon
results in income to Executive for federal or state income-tax purposes,
Executive shall deliver to the Company at the time of such receipt or lapse,
as
the case may be, such amount of money or shares of unrestricted stock as the
Company may require to meet its withholding obligation under applicable tax
laws
or regulations, and, if Executive fails to do so, the Company is authorized
to
withhold from any cash or stock remuneration then or thereafter payable to
Executive any tax required to be withheld by reason of such resulting
compensation income. The Executive may have Shares withheld to satisfy the
withholding tax obligation pursuant to an election under the Stock Incentive
Plan.

9. Section
83(b) Election.
Executive understands that he (and not the Company) shall be responsible for
his
own federal, state, local or foreign tax liability and any of his other tax
consequences that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by
this
Agreement. Executive shall rely solely on the determinations of his tax advisors
or his own determinations, and not on any statements or representations by
the
Company or any of its agents, with regard to all such tax matters. Executive
understands that Section 83 of the Code taxes as ordinary income the difference
between the amount paid for the Shares and the fair market value of the Shares
as of the date any restrictions on the Shares lapse. In this context,
“restriction” includes without limitation the vesting restrictions set forth in
paragraph 4 hereof. “Restriction” with respect to officers, directors and 10%
stockholders also means the period during which such officer, director and
10%
stockholders could be subject to suit under Section 16(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 in connection with a sale. Executive understands that
Executive may elect to be taxed at the time the Shares are received rather
than
when and as the restrictions on the Shares lapse or expire by filing an election
under Section 83(b) of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service within 30
days
from the date of the acquisition. In the event Executive files an election
under
Section 83(b) of the Code, such election shall contain all information required
under the applicable treasury regulation(s) and Executive shall deliver a copy
of such election to the Company contemporaneously with filing such election
with
the Internal Revenue Service.
EXECUTIVE
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS EXECUTIVE’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY’S TO
FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(B) OF THE CODE, EVEN IF EXECUTIVE
REQUESTS THAT THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES MAKE THIS FILING ON EXECUTIVE’S
BEHALF.
10. Governing
Law.
This
Agreement, in its interpretation and effect, shall be governed by the laws
of
the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed and to be performed
therein.
11. Amendments.
This
Agreement may be amended only by a written agreement executed by the Company
and
Executive.
12. Entire
Agreement.
This
Agreement embodies the entire agreement made between the parties hereto with
respect to matters covered herein and shall not be modified except in accordance
with paragraph 11 of this Agreement.
13. Counterparts.
This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall
be
deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute but one and the same
agreement. Signatures hereto may be delivered by facsimile or other means of
electronic transmission, and signatures so delivered shall be valid and binding
to the same extent as original signatures.
