to oversee, review and coordinate the activities of Licensee under this Agreement, including the Development and Commercialization
of the Product for use in the Field in the Licensee Territory.



2.1.2           Responsibilities.
The JPC shall be responsible for: (i) overseeing, reviewing and monitoring Licensee’s activities under this Agreement
including, without limitation, any clinical trials proposed to be conducted by Licensee; (ii) facilitating access to and the
exchange of information between the Parties related to the Development and/or Commercialization of the Product for use in the Field
in the Licensee Territory; and (iii) undertaking and/or approving such other matters as are specifically provided for the
JPC under this Agreement.



2.1.3           Membership.
The JPC shall be comprised of an equal number of representatives from each of Spectrum and Licensee and unless otherwise agreed
such number shall be two (2) senior representatives from each Spectrum and Licensee. Either Party may replace its respective JPC
representatives at any time with prior notice to the other Party, provided, that such replacement is of comparable authority
and scope of functional responsibility within that Party’s organization as the person he or she is replacing. Unless otherwise
agreed by the Parties, the JPC shall have at least one representative with relevant decision-making authority from each Party such
that the JPC is able to effectuate all of its decisions within the scope of its responsibilities. Licensee shall select one of
its representatives as the chairperson for the JPC (the “Chairperson”) and the Licensee may replace the Chairperson
upon written notice to Spectrum. The Chairperson shall be responsible for calling meetings, preparing and circulating an agenda
in advance of each meeting (which agenda will include every matter requested by either Party), and preparing and issuing minutes
of each meeting within thirty (30) days thereafter.



*** = Portions of this exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.  An unredacted version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Commission.-8-







2.2           Meetings.
The JPC shall hold meetings (either in person, by teleconference or videoconference) at such times and places as the Parties may
mutually agree, provided, that, unless the Parties agree otherwise, the JPC shall meet at least semi-annually during the
Development of the Product for use in the Field in the Licensee Territory, and at least annually thereafter. Each Party shall bear
its own costs associated with attending such meetings. As appropriate, other employees of the Parties may attend the JPC’s
meetings as nonvoting observers, but no Third Party personnel may attend unless otherwise agreed by the Parties. At the request
of Spectrum and with prior written approval of Licensee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, Third Party licensees of Spectrum
for the development and commercialization of the Product for use in the Field in the Spectrum Territory may attend the JPC’s
meetings as nonvoting participants if they have agreed to confidentiality terms at least as restrictive as those set forth in this
Agreement. Each Party may also call for special meetings to resolve particular matters requested by such Party.



2.3           Decision
Making. Decisions of the JPC shall be made by consensus of the members present in person or by other means (e.g., teleconference)
at any meeting, with at least one representative from each Party participating in such vote. The members of the JPC shall at all
times use good faith efforts to reach consensus on matters properly referred to the JPC. In the event that the JPC is unable to
reach consensus with respect to a particular matter within its purpose, then either Party may, by written notice to the other,
refer the matter to the respective business head of each Party or their respective designee who is senior in rank and authority
to such Party’s JPC representatives (the “Senior Executives”) for resolution by good faith discussions
for a period of at least fifteen (15) Business Days. In the event that the Senior Executives are unable to reach agreement with
respect to such matter within such fifteen (15) Business Days, then Licensee shall have the final decision-making authority with
respect to such matter, except in the event that such matter is reasonably possible to create a Material Impact in the Spectrum
Territory (the “Material Impact Matters”) and Spectrum notifies Licensee during or before any referral
of the matter to Senior Executives of each Party for resolution of Spectrum’s belief that such matter is a Material Impact
Matter, in which case, Spectrum shall have the final decision-making authority.



2.4           Authority.
The JPC shall perform its responsibilities under this Agreement based on the principles of prompt and diligent Development and
Commercialization of the Product for use in the Field in the Licensee Territory, consistent with good pharmaceutical practices
and commercially reasonable consideration of the optimal balance of maximizing long-term sale of the Product in the Licensee Territory.



2.5           Day-to-Day
Responsibilities. Each Party shall: (i) be responsible for day-to-day implementation and operation of the activities hereunder
for which it has or is otherwise assigned responsibility under this Agreement, provided, that such implementation is not
inconsistent with the express terms of this Agreement or the decisions of the JPC within the scope of their authority specified
herein; and (ii) keep the other Party informed as to the progress of such activities as reasonably requested by the other
Party and as otherwise determined by the JPC.

2.6           JPC
Participation; Discontinuation. It is understood that Spectrum’s participation on the JPC shall be as a matter of right,
but not an obligation. Accordingly, Spectrum may, at its discretion, elect to discontinue its participation in the JPC at any time
during the Term upon written notice to Licensee. If Spectrum provides such written notice, then JPC shall have no further authority
under this Agreement and shall cease to function, and thereafter decisions which were previously to be made by the JPC as set forth
and contemplated in this Agreement shall be made solely by the Licensee in its reasonable discretion except that all decisions
with respect to Material Impact Matters shall be made solely by Spectrum, and all of the rights and obligations of the Parties
under this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as rights and obligations directly between the Parties, including,
without limitation, each Party’s obligations to provide and rights to receive results, data and other information generated
from the other Party’s activities with respect to the Development of the Product for use in the Field.

Spectrum for the Development and/or Commercialization of the Product in the Field in the Licensee Territory.



5.2.2           Payment
Reports and Payments. For as long as Licensee is obligated to make the Upstream Payments in accordance with Section 5.2.1,
within thirty (30) days after the last day of each calendar quarter, Licensee will deliver to Spectrum a report of Net Sales of
the Product by Licensee, its Affiliates and sublicensees during the preceding quarterly period (any such period, a “Payment
Period”), with all the Upstream Payments in accordance with Section 5.2.1, if any, for the Payment Period covered
by such report being due no later than forty (40) days after the last day of such Payment Period. For any Upstream Payments triggered
due to the occurrence of a sales milestone, Spectrum shall provide Licensee with an invoice no later than twenty (20) days before
such Upstream Payment is due if feasible or such other documentation and such invoice or documentation will set forth: (a) the
Licensee’s prorated portion of such Upstream Payment, (b) how the Licensee’s prorated portion of the Upstream Payment
was calculated and reasonable support for the calculation, and (c) the date when such Upstream Payment is due. In relation to any
Upstream Payment, which Spectrum claims is triggered due to the occurrence of a development milestone achieved as a direct result
of Licensee’s Development of the Product in the Licensee Territory (other than wherein the trigger is explicitly defined
as the achievement of a milestone in the Licensee Territory), Spectrum shall provide Licensee with information, reasonably requested
by Licensee, regarding the Development of the Product in the Spectrum Territory sufficient for Licensee to determine whether Licensee’s
Development has triggered such an Upstream Payment.

5.3           Payment
Method. All payments due under this Agreement to Spectrum shall be made by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds
to an account designated by Spectrum. All payments hereunder shall be made in the legal currency of the United States of America,
and all references to “$” or “Dollars” shall refer to United States dollars. To the extent that Applicable
Law imposes withholding taxes on any payments from Licensee to Spectrum pursuant to this Agreement, Licensee may withhold such
taxes and pay such amounts to the relevant government authority. For any Upstream Payments where Spectrum cannot reduce any amounts
owed to the Upstream Licensor under the applicable Upstream License with respect to withholding taxes paid by the Licensee under
this Agreement, all amounts payable to Spectrum pursuant to this Agreement shall be made without reduction for any withholding
or similar taxes paid by Licensee. For any Upstream Payments where Spectrum can reduce any amounts owed to the Upstream Licensor
under the applicable Upstream License with respect to withholding taxes paid by the Licensee under this Agreement, the Licensee
may deduct from the amounts payable to Spectrum pursuant to this Agreement any withholding or similar taxes paid by Licensee. Licensee
shall furnish to Spectrum appropriate evidence of payment of such taxes or other amount required by Applicable Laws to be deducted
from any payment due under this Agreement to Spectrum, including any tax or withholding levied by a foreign taxing authority in
respect of such payment.



5.4           Support
Fees. Spectrum will provide to Licensee at its own expense: (a) *** (***) hours of regulatory and development support
during the first Agreement Year, and (b) *** (***) hours of regulatory and development support for each Agreement year after
the first anniversary of the Effective Date. Regulatory and development support provided by Spectrum to Licensee, in excess of
the number of free hours, set forth above, in any Agreement Year, shall be charged at a rate of $*** per hour. For clarity, the
costs incurred by Spectrum to provide the Initial Transfer under Section 4.2.3 shall also be borne by Spectrum and shall not be
charged to Licensee or counted toward the hours set out in the this Section that Spectrum will provide to Licensee at its own expense.



5.5           Records;
Audit. The Parties will, and will cause its Affiliates to, keep and maintain for three (3) years after the relevant calendar
quarter complete and accurate books and records in sufficient detail so that Net Sales and payments made hereunder can be properly
calculated. No more frequently than once during each calendar year during the Term and once during the three (3) year period thereafter,
the Parties will permit independent third party auditors appointed by Spectrum, CyDex or Licensee (the party requesting an audit,
the “Auditing Party”) and with at least forty-five (45) days advance notice at any time during normal business
hours, accompanied at all times, to inspect, audit and copy reasonable amounts of relevant accounts and records of the non-Auditing
Party and its Affiliates and reports submitted to the non-Auditing Party and its Affiliates by its sublicensees pertaining to a
payment period that is not earlier than thirty-six (36) months from the date of conclusion of the audit, for the sole purpose of
verifying the accuracy of the calculation of Upstream Payments to Spectrum pursuant to this Article 5. The accounts, records
and reports related to any particular period of time may only be audited one time under this Section 5.5. The Auditing Party
will cause their independent third party auditors not to provide the Auditing Party with any copies of such accounts, records or
reports and not to disclose to the Auditing Party any information other than information relating solely to the accuracy of the
accounting and payments made by Licensee pursuant to this Article 5. The Auditing Party will cause its independent third party
auditors to promptly provide a copy of their report to non-Auditing Party. If such audit determines that payments are due to Spectrum,
Licensee will pay to Spectrum any such additional amounts within ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such auditor’s
written report is delivered to Licensee and the Auditing Party, unless such audit report is disputed by Licensee, in which case
the dispute will be resolved in accordance with Article 10. If such audit determines that Licensee has overpaid any amounts
to Spectrum, Spectrum will refund any such overpaid amounts to Licensee within ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such
auditor’s written report is delivered to Licensee and the Auditing Party. Any such inspection of records will be at the Auditing
Party’s expense unless such audit discloses a deficiency or overpayment in the payments made by Licensee (whether for itself
or on behalf of its Affiliates) of more than *** percent (***%) of the aggregate amount payable for the relevant period, in the
case of such a deficiency, Licensee will bear the cost of such audit, or in the case of such overpayment caused by Spectrum, Spectrum
shall bear the cost of such audit. Each of the parties agree that all information subject to review under this Section 5.5 is non-Auditing
Party’s Confidential Information that is subject to confidentiality and non-use obligations under Section 7.2, and Auditing
Party agrees that it shall cause its independent third party auditors to also retain all such information subject to the non-disclosure
and non-use restrictions of Section 7.2 or similar (but no less stringent) obligations of confidentiality and non-use customary
in the accounting industry.

5.6           Late
Payment. Any payments or portions thereof due hereunder which are not paid when due shall bear interest equal to the lesser
of (i) the rate equal to the thirty (30) day U.S. dollar LIBOR rate effective for the date that payment was due, as published by
The Wall Street Journal, Internet Edition at www.wsj.com in the “Money Rates” column, on the date such payment was
due, plus an additional *** percent (***%), or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Laws, calculated on the number of
days such payment is delinquent. This Section 5.6 shall in no way limit any other remedies available to Spectrum.

process) or Commercialization of the Product for use in the Field in the Licensee Territory. Unless otherwise requested by Spectrum,
Licensee shall indicate that Spectrum is the owner and licensor of the Product and Spectrum Technology in each public disclosure
issued by Licensee regarding the Product. When Spectrum elects to make any such public disclosure under this Section 7.5.2,

notify Spectrum in writing within a three (3) Business Day period or such shorter period if required by Applicable Laws of any
reasonable objections, as contemplated in this Section 7.5.2, such disclosure shall be deemed approved, and in any event Licensee
shall work diligently and reasonably to agree on the text of any proposed disclosure in an expeditious manner. The principles to

9.8           Additional
Effects of Certain Terminations. If this Agreement is terminated by Spectrum, then:



9.8.1           Ongoing
Trials. If there are any ongoing clinical trials with respect to the Product being conducted by or on behalf of Licensee (or
its Affiliate) at the time of notice of termination, Licensee agrees to (i) promptly transition to Spectrum or its designee
some or all of such clinical trials and the activities related to or supporting such trials, or (ii) terminate such clinical
trials in each case, as requested by Spectrum. The Parties recognize that early termination of this Agreement requires both discussion
and coordination between the Parties to ensure patient safety, continuity of treatment, if appropriate, and compliance with Applicable
Laws. Upon early termination of this Agreement, the Parties shall cooperate to provide for an orderly transition or cessation of
any clinical trials, as requested by Spectrum. Each Party further agrees to take no action or forego taking action if such action
or forbearance would in any manner jeopardize patient safety or cause the other Party to violate any Applicable Laws.



9.8.2           Commercialization.
To avoid a disruption in the supply of the Product, if this Agreement is terminated after the First Commercial Launch of the Product
for use in the Field in the Licensee Territory, Licensee and its Affiliates shall continue to distribute and sell such Product
for use in the Field in the Licensee Territory, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for a period reasonably
sufficient for them to sell off all amounts of Product in Licensee’s inventory not to exceed *** (***) months from the effective
date of such termination (the “Wind-Down Period”). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, during
this Wind-Down Period, Licensee’s and its Affiliates’ rights with respect to the Product (including the licenses granted
under Section 3.1) shall be non-exclusive and Spectrum shall have the right to engage one or more partners(s) or distributor(s)
of the Product in all or part of the Licensee Territory. During the Wind-Down Period, Licensee shall continue to make any and all
Upstream Payments to Spectrum for the Product sold or disposed by Licensee, its Affiliates, or its sublicensees. After the Wind-Down
Period, Licensee and its Affiliates shall not sell the Product or make any representation regarding their status as a licensee
of or distributor for Spectrum for the Product. Within thirty (30) days of expiration of the Wind-Down Period, Licensee shall notify
Spectrum of any quantity of the Product remaining in Licensee’s inventory and Spectrum shall have the option, upon notice
to Licensee, to purchase any such quantities of the Product, as applicable, from Licensee at a price equal to the amounts paid
by Licensee for such Product.



9.8.3           Regulatory
Filings. Licensee shall promptly assign and transfer to Spectrum all Regulatory Filings for the Product that are held or controlled
by or under authority of Licensee, and shall take such actions and execute such other instruments, assignments and documents as
may be necessary to effect the transfer of rights under the Regulatory Filings to Spectrum. Licensee shall cause each of its Affiliates
or sublicensees to transfer any such Regulatory Filings to Spectrum if this Agreement terminates. If Applicable Laws prevents or
delays the transfer of ownership of a Regulatory Filing to Spectrum, Licensee shall grant, and does hereby grant, to Spectrum an
exclusive and irrevocable right of access and reference to such Regulatory Filing for the Product, and shall cooperate fully to
make the benefits of such Regulatory Filings available to Spectrum and/or its designee(s). Within sixty (60) days after notice
of such termination, Licensee shall provide to Spectrum copies of all such Regulatory Filings, and of all preclinical and clinical
data (including raw data, original records, investigator reports, both preliminary and final, statistical analyses, expert opinions
and reports, safety and other electronic databases) and other Know-How pertaining to the Product, or the manufacture thereof. Spectrum
shall be free to use and disclose such Regulatory Filings and other items in connection with the exercise of its rights and licenses
under this Section 9.8.

9.8.4           License
to Spectrum. Licensee hereby grants Spectrum, effective upon the effective date of termination of this Agreement, a perpetual,
irrevocable, fully paid-up, royalty free, non-exclusive license, with the right to grant sublicenses at any tier, under Licensee
Know-How (including, without limitation, Licensee Inventions) and Licensee’s rights in the Joint Inventions, to research,
Develop, make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, have sold, import and otherwise Commercialize the Product in the Licensee
Territory.



9.8.5           Transition
Assistance. Licensee agrees to fully cooperate with Spectrum and its designee(s) to facilitate a smooth, orderly and prompt
transition of the Development and Commercialization of the Product to Spectrum and/or its designee(s) during this Wind-Down Period.
Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee shall promptly provide Spectrum (i) all commercial data generated by Licensee under
this Agreement including copies of customer lists, customer data and other customer information relating to the Product, and (ii) manufacturing
information (including protocols for the production, packaging, testing and other manufacturing activities) relating to the Product
in Licensee’s Control, which in each case Spectrum shall have the right to use and disclose for any purpose during this Wind-Down
Period and thereafter. Upon request by Spectrum, Licensee shall transfer to Spectrum some or all quantities of the Product in its
or its Affiliates’ Control (as requested by Spectrum), within thirty (30) days after the end of this Wind-Down Period, provided,
that Spectrum shall reimburse Licensee for the out-of-pocket costs that Licensee actually incurred to manufacture or otherwise
acquire the quantities so provided to Spectrum. If any Product was manufactured by any Third Party for Licensee, or Licensee had
contracts with vendors which contracts are necessary or useful for Spectrum to take over responsibility for the Product in the
Licensee Territory, then Licensee shall to the extent possible and requested in writing by Spectrum, assign all of the relevant
Third-Party contracts to Spectrum, and in any case, Licensee agrees to cooperate with Spectrum to ensure uninterrupted supply of
the Product. If Licensee or its Affiliate manufactured any Product at the time of termination, then Licensee (or its Affiliate)
shall continue to provide for manufacturing of such Product for Spectrum, at its fully-burdened manufacturing cost therefor, from
the date of notice of such termination until such time as Spectrum is able, using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to do so but
no longer than the expiration of the Wind-Down Period, to secure an acceptable alternative commercial manufacturing source from
which sufficient quantities of the Product may be procured and legally sold in the Licensee Territory.



9.8.6           Costs
and Expenses. Except as expressly provided herein, Licensee shall perform its obligations under this Section 9.8 at its
own costs without consideration from Spectrum. Spectrum shall be responsible for its own costs of performing its activities under
this Section 9.8.

9.9           Termination
Press Releases. In the event of termination of this Agreement for any reason, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to
coordinate public disclosure of such termination and the reasons therefor, and shall not, except to the extent required by Applicable
Laws or the rules of a recognized stock exchange, disclose such information without the prior approval of the other Party, such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. When Spectrum elects to make a public disclosure under this Section 9.9,
Spectrum shall provide Licensee with a draft of any such public disclosure it intends to issue three (3) Business Days in advance
and with the opportunity to review and comment on such statement, it being understood that if Licensee does not notify Spectrum
in writing within such three (3) Business Day period (or such shorter period if required by Applicable Laws or the rules of a recognized
stock exchange) of any reasonable objections, such disclosure shall be deemed approved, and in any event the Parties shall work
diligently and reasonably to agree on the text of any such proposed disclosure in an expeditious manner. The principles to be observed
in such disclosures shall be accuracy, compliance with Applicable Laws and regulatory guidance documents, reasonable sensitivity
to potential negative reactions to such news and the need to keep investors and others informed regarding the Parties’ business
and other activities.



9.10         Material
Breach.



9.10.1         Spectrum
agrees that any breach by Spectrum of Section 3.1 (Grant to Licensee), Section 4.1.4 (Rights of Reference), Section 4.2.3 (Development
Assistance), or Section 8.4.3 (Spectrum’s Representations, Warranties, and Covenants) as single event or in combination with
one or more breaches, that has a material adverse effect on Licensee’s Development or Commercialization of the Product in
the Licensee Territory shall be deemed a material breach by Spectrum of this Agreement, and, if such breach, if curable, shall
have continued uncured for ninety (90) days after written notice thereof was provided to Spectrum by Licensee, then:
(a) subject to Section 8.7, Licensee shall be entitled to recovery of damages for such material breach without any limitation on
the amount or type of damages (including special, consequential (including loss of profits and loss of revenue), incidental, punitive
or indirect damages); and (b) Licensee, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein (unless Licensee has
also terminated this Agreement under Section 9.2) or granted by law, including, without limitation, recovery of damages, will be
entitled to specific performance of its rights and Spectrum’s obligations under the above Sections 3.1 (Grant to Licensee),
Section 4.1.4 (Rights of Reference), Section 4.2.3 (Development Assistance), or Section 8.4.3 (Spectrum’s Representations,
Warranties, and Covenants) of the Agreement, without the necessity of posting any bond and without the necessity of establishing
that monetary relief would not provide an adequate remedy. Spectrum agrees that Licensee may seek, and AAA (or any court having
competent jurisdiction in relation to any injunctive or provisional relief necessary) may grant, specific performance in the event
of such Spectrum’s material breach, and that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by
reason of a material breach by Spectrum as recited in this Section of this Agreement, and hereby agrees to waive any defense in
any action for specific performance, including that a remedy at law would be adequate.

a material breach by Licensee of this Agreement, and, if such breach, if curable, shall have continued uncured for ninety (90)
days after written notice thereof was provided by Spectrum to Licensee, then: (a) subject to Section 8.7, Spectrum shall be entitled
to recovery of damages for such material breach without any limitation on the amount or type of damages (including special, consequential
(including loss of profits and loss of revenue), incidental, punitive or indirect damages); and (b) Spectrum, in addition to being
entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including, without limitation, recovery of damages, will be
entitled to specific performance of its rights and Licensee’s obligations under the above Sections 3.1 (Grant to Licensee),
Section 3.2.1 (Licensee Rights Limited to the Field and the Licensee Territory), Section 3.3 (Upstream Licenses), or Sections 4.2.4
and 4.3.2 (Diligence) of the Agreement, without the necessity of posting any bond and without the necessity of establishing that
monetary relief would not provide an adequate remedy. Licensee agrees that Spectrum may seek, and AAA (or any court having competent
jurisdiction in relation to any injunctive or provisional relief necessary) may grant, specific performance in the event of such
Licensee’s material breach, and that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason
of a material breach by Licensee as recited in this Section of this Agreement, and hereby agrees to waive any defense in any action
for specific performance, including that a remedy at law would be adequate.

11.5         Waiver.
Neither Party may waive or release any of its rights or interests in this Agreement except in writing. The failure of either Party
to assert a right hereunder or to insist upon compliance with any term or condition of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver
of that right or excuse a similar subsequent failure to perform any such term or condition. No waiver by either Party of any condition
or term in any one or more instances shall be construed as a continuing waiver of such condition or term or of another condition
or term.



11.6         Severability.
If any provision hereof should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the Parties shall negotiate in good
faith a valid, legal and enforceable substitute provision that most nearly reflects the original intent of the Parties and all
other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in order to
carry out the intentions of the Parties as nearly as may be possible. Such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not
affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. If a Party seeks to avoid a provision
of this Agreement by asserting that such provision is invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, the other Party shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2 upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to the asserting Party,
unless such assertion is eliminated and cured within such sixty (60) day period.

11.7         Entire
Agreement/Modification. This Agreement, including its Exhibits, sets forth all the covenants, promises, agreements, warranties,
representations, conditions and understandings between the Parties and supersedes and terminates all prior agreements and understandings
between the Parties including the Prior CDA. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Agreement shall be

or obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other Party, or otherwise act as an agent for the other Party for any purpose.



11.9         Force
Majeure. Except with respect to payment of money, neither Party shall be liable to the other for failure or delay in the performance
of any of its obligations under this Agreement for the time and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by earthquake, riot,
civil commotion, war, terrorist acts, strike, flood, change of law, political unrest, or governmental acts or restriction, or other
cause that is beyond the reasonable control of the respective Party. The Party affected by such force majeure will provide the
other Party with full particulars thereof as soon as it becomes aware of the same (including its best estimate of the likely extent
and duration of the interference with its activities), and will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to overcome the difficulties
created thereby and to resume performance of its obligations as soon as practicable. If the performance of any such obligation
under this Agreement is delayed owing to such a force majeure for any continuous period of more than one hundred eighty (180) days,
the Parties will consult with respect to an equitable solution, including the possibility of the mutual termination of this Agreement.



11.10         Compliance
with Applicable Laws/Other.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all rights and obligations of

Spectrum Pharmaceuticals
Out-Licenses

Rights for Greater
China to CASI Pharmaceuticals for Three of Its Drugs



| | · | Spectrum receives a 19.99% stake (pre-transaction) in CASI, a NASDAQ-listed, oncology-focused Company with expertise and focus on markets in China and a $1.5 million promissory note
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



HENDERSON, Nev. and
ROCKVILLE, Md. (September 18, 2014) – Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: SPPI), a biotechnology company with
fully integrated commercial and drug development operations with a primary focus in hematology and oncology, and CASI Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. (Nasdaq: CASI), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the acquisition, development and commercialization of innovative
therapeutics addressing cancer and other unmet medical needs for the global market with a primary focus on China, announce the
signing of license agreements whereby CASI has been granted exclusive rights to two of Spectrum Pharmaceuticals’ commercial
oncology drugs, Zevalin® (ibritumomab tiuxetan) Injection for intravenous use and Marqibo® (vinCRIStine sulfate LIPOSOME
injection) for intravenous infusion, and a Phase 3 drug candidate, Captisol-EnabledTM Melphalan (CE melphalan),
for development and commercialization in China, including Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau.



ZEVALIN is used in the
treatment of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) and MARQIBO is used in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). CE
melphalan has met the endpoints in a pivotal trial for use as a conditioning treatment prior to autologous stem cell transplant
for patients with multiple myeloma. Spectrum plans to file a New Drug Application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
for CE melphalan in the second half of 2014.



CASI will be responsible
for the development and commercialization of the three drugs, including the submission of import drug registration applications
to regulatory authorities and conducting any confirmatory clinical studies in greater China, if and as required.



“We are delighted
to see our anticancer drugs to be developed and marketed in greater China through CASI, a NASDAQ-listed Company focused on China,”
said Rajesh C. Shrotriya, MD, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Spectrum Pharmaceuticals. “The management of CASI has
a track record of successfully developing anticancer drugs in China. We are pleased to be a shareholder of CASI at this early stage
of their development and look forward to CASI creating value for our shareholders as they grow. China’s pharmaceutical market
is growing at a rapid pace and is already approaching second place to only the United States in the world. The greater China drug
market for anticancer drugs is projected to become the world’s largest in the next decade and CASI has the opportunity to
take a leading position to address these significant unmet medical needs. We are impressed with the management team at CASI and
their expertise in China, and look forward to sharing in the success of our drugs in this important market.”

Commenting on the transaction,
Ken K. Ren, Ph.D., CASI’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are very excited to have entered into this transaction
with Spectrum, a Company with a successful track record of developing and commercializing drugs expeditiously in the U.S. The addition
of these three drugs transforms our pipeline and significantly expands our market share potential in China. Our transaction is
structured rather uniquely in that the shares and note represent the purchase price to Spectrum and is in lieu of royalties and
milestones normally associated with traditional licenses, thereby aligning Spectrum’s interest with our shareholders. We
look forward to a productive relationship with Spectrum.”



Dr. Ren added, “These
drug products come with strong intellectual property protection and significant technology barriers. We are currently preparing
the import drug registration applications in greater China, initially for ZEVALIN and MARQIBO, and since both drugs are approved
for sale in the U.S., we anticipate that confirmatory clinical trials will be required for marketing approval in our territory.
The submission of the import drug registration for CE melphalan will follow immediately after its approval by the U.S. FDA. The
annual incidence in China for NHL, ALL and multiple myeloma is increasing each year with high mortality rates, it is our goal to
have these innovative products available to patients in greater China as soon as possible to address these unmet medical needs,
and as Spectrum expands these drugs into additional indications in the U.S., we too will apply for expanded labels in our territory.”



In addition to its initial
stake in CASI, Spectrum Pharmaceuticals will have certain rights to maintain its post-transaction ownership position. Spectrum
Pharmaceuticals also will have the opportunity to designate a member to CASI’s board of directors. Detailed information on the
transaction can be found in CASI’s Report on Form 8-K, which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

About
ZEVALIN and the ZEVALIN Therapeutic Regimen



ZEVALIN
(ibritumomab tiuxetan) injection for intravenous use, is indicated for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory, low-grade
or follicular B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). ZEVALIN is also indicated for the treatment of patients with previously untreated
follicular non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma who achieve a partial or complete response to first-line chemotherapy.



ZEVALIN
is a CD20-directed radiotherapeutic antibody. The ZEVALIN therapeutic regimen consists of two components: rituximab, and Yttrium-90
(Y-90) radiolabeled ZEVALIN for therapy. ZEVALIN builds on the combined effect of a targeted biologic monoclonal antibody augmented
with the therapeutic effects of a beta-emitting radioisotope.



Important
ZEVALIN Safety Information



Deaths
have occurred within 24 hours of rituximab infusion, an essential component of the ZEVALIN therapeutic regimen. These fatalities
were associated with hypoxia, pulmonary infiltrates, acute respiratory distress syndrome, myocardial infarction, ventricular fibrillation,
or cardiogenic shock. Most (80%) fatalities occurred with the first rituximab infusion. ZEVALIN administration can result in severe
and prolonged cytopenias in most patients. Severe cutaneous and mucocutaneous reactions, some fatal, can occur with the ZEVALIN
therapeutic regimen.



Please
see full Prescribing Information, including BOXED WARNINGS, for ZEVALIN and rituximab. Full prescribing information for ZEVALIN
can be found at www.ZEVALIN.com.



About
MARQIBO



MARQIBO
is a novel, sphingomyelin/cholesterol liposome-encapsulated, formulation of vincristine sulfate. Vincristine, a microtubule inhibitor,
is FDA-approved for the treatment of adult patients with Philadelphia chromosome-negative (Ph-) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)
in second or greater relapse or whose disease has progressed following two or more anti-leukemia therapies. (The encapsulation
technology, utilized in this formulation, has been shown to provide prolonged circulation of vincristine in the blood).

About Captisol-Enabled
Melphalan



Captisol-enabled, PG-free
melphalan is a novel intravenous formulation of melphalan being investigated for the multiple myeloma transplant setting, for which
it has been granted an Orphan Drug Designation by the FDA. This formulation eliminates the use of propylene glycol, which has been
reported to cause renal and cardiac side effects that limit the ability to deliver higher doses of therapeutic compounds. The use
of the Captisol technology to reformulate melphalan also improves its stability and is anticipated to allow for slower infusion
rates and longer administration durations, potentially enabling clinicians to safely achieve a higher dose intensity for pre-transplant
chemotherapy.



About Captisol



Captisol is
a patent-protected, chemically modified cyclodextrin with a structure designed to optimize the solubility and stability of drugs.
Captisol was invented and initially developed by scientists in the laboratories of Dr. Valentino Stella at the University of Kansas’
Higuchi Biosciences Center for specific use in drug development and formulation. This unique technology has enabled seven FDA-approved
products, including Onyx Pharmaceuticals’ Kyprolis®, Baxter International’s Nexterone® and
Merck’s NOXAFIL IV. There are also more than 30 Captisol-enabled products currently in clinical development.
