David Johnston

 

November 21, 2003

 

Dear David,

 

This letter is to inform you of an addendum to your Offer of Employment signed
in November 2003, with Nektar Therapeutics.

 

In addition to all other terms and agreements provided in your signed Offer of
Employment and to assist you with your relocation to the San Francisco Bay Area,
Nektar agrees to provide you with a second move of household goods from your
apartment in Boston, MA to your new permanent residence in the San Francisco Bay
Area. Up to 12 months storage in transit will also be offered with this
shipment.

 

Per the terms of the Nektar relocation policy supplied to you in your original
Offer of Employment, in the event that you should voluntarily terminate your
employment with Nektar or be terminated other than “without cause” by Nektar
within one (1) year after this relocation expense has incurred on your behalf,
you agree to repay the pro-rated relocation dollars. (Including all expenses and
closing costs that were directly billed to Nektar).

 

All other terms and conditions of your Offer of Employment are and will remain
in effect.

 

Sincerely,

 

/s/ EG Frisby
