Committees

The board of directors currently has two standing committees: an audit committee and a compensation committee.

Audit Committee. The audit committee currently consists of Kirk K. Calhoun, David S. Chen and Leonard Shapiro, each of whom is
independent as defined in the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. Kirk Calhoun is currently the chairman of the audit committee. The board of directors has determined that Mr. Calhoun meets the SECs definition of audit committee
financial expert based on his prior experience as a partner of a major public accounting firm.

The audit committee reviews our
financial reporting process and the integrity of our financial statements, the system of internal controls, the internal and external audit process, and the process for monitoring compliance with laws and regulations. The audit committee also has
the responsibility to review, consider and approve related party transactions. The audit committee charter may be viewed at our website at http://www.abraxisbio.com. The information contained on our website is not intended to be, nor shall it
be incorporated by reference into, this filing.

Compensation Committee. The compensation committee currently consists of David S.
Chen and Stephen D. Nimer, each of whom is independent as defined in the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. The Compensation Committees responsibilities include (i) determining the salary and bonus of corporate officers, including the
Chief Executive Officer, and (ii) acting as administrator to our stock incentive plans, and exercising the authority conferred by the board concerning such plans. The compensation committee charter may be viewed at our website at
http://www.abraxisbio.com. The information contained on our website is not intended to be, nor shall it be incorporated by reference into, this filing.

Meetings and Attendance

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the board of directors met 7 times. The audit
committee held 12 meetings during the year ended December 31, 2008. The compensation committee held 4 meetings during the year ended December 31, 2008. Except for Leonard Shapiro, all directors attended at least 75% of all meetings of the

Controlled Company Status and Director Independence

Under the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules, we are a Controlled Company since Dr. Soon-Shiong and entities affiliated with him beneficially own
over 80% of the voting power of our securities. As a Controlled Company, we are exempt from certain NASDAQ listing requirements including the requirement (i) to have a majority of independent directors, (ii) to have the compensation of
executive officers determined or recommended by a majority of independent directors or a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors, and (iii) to have director nominees selected or recommended for the board of
directors selection either by a majority of independent directors or a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors.

The board of directors has evaluated the relationships between the directors and us and has determined that each of our directors other than Dr. Soon-Shiong and Mr. Moulder is independent as defined in the NASDAQ
Marketplace Rules.

Executive Sessions of Non-Management Directors

The non-management directors of our board meet in executive session, generally at regularly scheduled meetings of the board of directors or at other times as considered necessary or appropriate. A presiding director
is chosen by the non-management directors to preside at each meeting and does not need to be the same director at each meeting.

Relationships Among
Directors or Executive Officers

There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock (collectively, Reporting Persons) to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of
our common stock. Reporting Persons are required by Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such reports received or written
representations from the Reporting Persons, we believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, all Reporting Persons complied with these filing requirements on a timely basis.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics
entitled Abraxis BioScience, Inc. Code of Business Conduct which applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer and all
persons performing similar functions. In addition, all employees at a vice president level or above certify compliance with the Code of Business Conduct on an annual basis. Our Code of Business Conduct was filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Our Code of Business Conduct may also be viewed at our website at http://www.abraxisbio.com. The information contained on our website is not intended to be, nor shall it be incorporated by
reference into, this filing.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and approved policies and procedures for (a) the receipt, retention and
treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, and (b) the confidential and anonymous submission by our employees, of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing
matters. These procedures are described in our Code of Business Conduct under the heading Reporting Procedures and Other Inquiries.

Insider Trading Policy

Our insider trading policy prohibits all employees and certain of their family members from purchasing or selling any type of security, whether the issuer of that security is us or any other company, while aware of
material, non-public information relating to the issuer of the security, or from providing material, non-public information to any person who may trade while aware of such information. The insider trading policy also prohibits employees from
engaging in short sales with respect to our securities, purchasing or pledging our stock on margin and entering into derivative or similar transactions (i.e., puts, calls, options, forward contracts, collars, swaps or exchange agreements) with
respect to our securities. We also have procedures that require trades by executive officers to be pre-cleared by the general counsel.



|Item 11. | EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
|-------- | ----------------------

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

We compensate our management through a combination of base salary, annual incentive bonuses and long-term equity-based awards which are
designed to be competitive with those of comparable companies and to align executive performance with the long-term interests of our stockholders.

This section discusses the principles underlying our executive compensation policies and decisions and the most important factors relevant to an analysis of these policies and decisions. It provides qualitative information regarding the
manner and context in which compensation is awarded to and earned by our executive officers and places in perspective the data presented in the tables and narrative that follow.

Since our company was a part of the operations of Old Abraxis until the separation occurred on November 13, 2007, our compensation philosophy was
derived from the policies previously adopted by the compensation committee of Old Abraxis prior to the separation. Since the separation, our management has engaged compensation consultants to review various aspects of our employee compensation,
including for our executive officers, based upon us being a stand alone company (including any peer groups that they may use).

Our Compensation
Committee

Our compensation committee approves all compensation and awards to executive officers, including the CEO, CFO and the
other executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table below, all of whom we refer to as the named executive officers, or NEOs. The compensation committees membership is determined by our board of directors and is currently composed
of two non-employee directors, both of whom are independent under SEC and Nasdaq rules.

The compensation committee generally meets
quarterly to perform its duties and periodically approves and adopts, or makes recommendations to our board regarding, compensation decisions. The CEO, the CFO and the general counsel participate in the compensation committee meetings at the
discretion of the committee. The compensation committee has the authority to delegate its responsibilities. At times, management has engaged compensation consultants to review our compensation practices and presented information from those
consultants to our compensation committee for review.

The compensation committee meets outside the presence of our CEO to consider his
compensation. Prior to the separation, other executive officers presented data to the compensation committee regarding the compensation of CEOs of other comparative companies and made recommendations regarding the compensation of the CEO. When
determining the CEOs base salary and annual cash incentive awards, the compensation committee reviews and assesses the CEOs annual performance, the performance of the company, his importance to our operations, and the comparative
compensation paid to other CEOs in a comparative group. In addition, the compensation committee considered our CEOs significant ownership in our company in determining his overall compensation. In the past, the Old Abraxis compensation
committee determined that equity awards would not be as effective an incentive for our CEO as compared to our other executive officers due to his large ownership percentage; however, in 2008, the compensation committee approved equity awards to the
CEO in the same manner as had been approved for other executive officers.



7



---

For all other executive officers, including our NEOs (other than the CEO), our CEO makes recommendations
to the compensation committee with respect to the appropriate base salary, payments to be made under our annual cash incentive program and grants of long-term equity incentive awards. The annual performance of our executive officers is considered by
the CEO and the compensation committee when making decisions on setting base salary, targets for and payments under our annual cash incentive plan, and grants of long-term equity incentive awards. In determining the individual performance of our
executive officers, the compensation committee reviews the overall performance of the company and the business unit in which the executive officer participates, as well as any significant individual contributions. The compensation committee
determines annually the specific target cash bonus amounts for each of our executive officers based on a percentage of his or her base salary, with the actual amount paid being based on the overall performance of the company and individual
performance. In addition, if the compensation committee determines, based on managements recommendation, that the contribution of an individual executive officer is significant to the overall performance of the company or the business unit in
which the executive participates, the compensation committee may make discretionary cash or equity awards to such executive. When making the compensation decisions for executive officers, including our NEOs, the compensation committee also considers
the importance of the position to us, the past salary history of the individual, the competitive landscape for the executive officers position and skill set, and the contributions to be made by the executive officer to us.

The compensation committee reviewed all components of compensation paid to our executive officers, including base salary, target bonus and long-term
equity incentives. Based on this review, the compensation committee determined that the compensation paid to our executive officers is consistent with our compensation philosophy.

Compensation Philosophy

Our compensation philosophy is to provide a combination of cash and
equity awards, fixed versus variable compensation, and employee benefits for our NEOs, senior executives and other employees to:



| |  |  | provide competitive levels of compensation to enable us to attract, retain and motivate talented management personnel;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | reward individuals for their contributions to our achievement of our business objectives; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | align the interests of management with the interests of our stockholders in order to maximize stockholder value.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Attracting and retaining talent. To attract and retain executives with the ability and experience necessary to lead us and deliver
strong performance to our stockholders, we target cash compensation and long-term incentives to be competitive with peer companies. Prior to the separation, the Old Abraxis compensation committee approved targeting at the 50th percentile of
competing pharmaceutical companies. We continue to review compensation paid to our competitors, but our compensation committee has not targeted executive compensation at any percentile of competitive companies since the separation from Old Abraxis.
For each individual officer, we also consider our needs for that officers skill set, experience, the contribution that the officer has made or we believe will make, whether the executive officers skill set is easily transferable to other
potential employers, and the competitive landscape for the executive officers skill set and position, because we believe that we compete with our peer group for executive talent.

Inspire teamwork and motivate superior performance. Our compensation committee uses a combination of business unit goals and individual
performance measures to inspire teamwork and motivate exceptional performance. Annual incentive compensation awards were based on the actual achievement of certain corporate and business unit performance goals, including certain business initiatives
aimed at improving future earnings. The goals were set so that the attainment of the targets is not assured and requires significant effort by our executives.

Similarly, long-term awards were based on our overall and individual performance. Together, our annual and long-term incentive compensation programs were designed to:



| |  |  | focus executives on measurements that encourage strong financial and operational performance to improve stockholder value;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---

| |  |  | encourage the creation of stockholder value through the achievement of strategic objectives; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | emphasize a performance-oriented compensation strategy that balances rewards for short-term and long-term results in which a significant portion of executive
compensation is contingent on achieving company performance measures.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aligning performance with stockholder
interests. We seek to align the performance of our NEOs with stockholder interests through the grant of stock options, shares of restricted stock, and/or awards of restricted stock units under our 2007 stock incentive plan. Because the
price of our common stock is subject to external factors, we also provide annual incentive compensation linked to our financial, operational and individual performance. Historically, stock options, restricted stock, or restricted stock units granted
to our NEOs vest solely based on the passage of time. We continue to believe that time-vested equity awards will encourage long-term value creation and executive retention because executives can realize value from such rewards only if they remain
employed by us until the awards vest.

Elements of Executive Compensation

Our executive compensation program was designed to reflect the philosophy and objectives we have described above. The elements of executive pay are
presented in the table below and discussed in more detail in the following paragraphs:

We view the base salary, incentive bonus and benefit components of compensation as related and
designed to reward executives on an annual basis, while we make determinations regarding long-term incentives with a longer time horizon than we do with the salary, bonus and benefit components. We determine the appropriate level for each
compensation component based in part, but not exclusively, on competitive benchmarking consistent with our recruiting and retention goals, our view of internal equity and consistency, and other considerations we deem relevant, such as rewarding
extraordinary performance or unique accomplishments. We make our salary and annual bonus decisions so that we can remain competitive with our peers. Except as described below, our compensation committee is not expected to adopt any formal or
informal policies or guidelines for allocating compensation between long-term and currently paid out compensation, between cash and non-cash compensation, or among different forms of non-cash compensation.

Base Salaries. The base salaries of executive officers, including our NEOs, are reviewed annually and may be adjusted by the compensation
committee in accordance with certain criteria which include individual performance, the functions performed by the officer, the scope of the officers on-going duties, general changes in the compensation peer group in which we compete for
executive talent, and our general financial performance. The weight given each such factor by the compensation committee may vary from individual to individual.



9



---

The base salaries of NEOs prior to our separation from Old Abraxis were determined in part based upon the
recommendations of a compensation consultant engaged following the merger of Old APP with ABI to form Old Abraxis in 2006. Following our separation from Old Abraxis, management made recommendations to our compensation committee for the base salaries
of our NEOs based on certain criteria, including individual performance, the functions performed by the officer, the scope of the officers ongoing duties, general changes in the compensation peer group in which we compete for executive talent,
and our general financial performance. The weight given each such factor by the compensation committee may vary from individual to individual.

Annual Performance Incentives. We believe that periodic bonus awards can serve to motivate the executive officers to achieve annual performance goals, using more immediate measures for performance than those reflected in the
appreciation in value of stock options.

In 2006, the compensation committee of Old Abraxis approved a corporate bonus plan (the 2006
Bonus Plan) to reward employees and executives to assist in achieving goals of increasing stockholder value and continued growth of the companys operations. Under the 2006 Bonus Plan, the target performance goals were based on meeting
certain corporate performance objectives, individual contributions and business unit successes. The goals were set so that the attainment of the targets was not assured and required significant effort by our executives. Cash incentive payments under
the 2006 Bonus Plan required satisfaction of a minimum of 70% of the corporate performance goals and could have increased until a maximum of 130% of the corporate performance objectives were obtained. The corporate performance factor was then
multiplied by the percentage of the individual employees bonus target that has been achieved to determine that employees cash incentive payment. The ratio of the individual and business unit components for an individual employees
bonus target was based on the employees position with the company.

Due to the undetermined timing of the anticipated separation of
our business from Old Abraxis during the course of 2007, the Old Abraxis compensation committee did not establish a similar corporate bonus plan for 2007. As a result, our compensation committee considered several factors in determining the bonuses
for our NEOs for 2007, including their individual efforts in connection with the separation, the increase in stockholder value as a result of the separation, and other corporate efforts such as the completion of several acquisitions during 2007.

For 2008, management made bonus recommendations to the compensation committee based on the achievement of certain individual objectives
and corporate performance for 2008. Each employee, including each of our NEOs, had a bonus target which represented a percentage of the employees base salary based on the employees position with the company. The target bonus for each of
our NEOs other than Dr. Soon-Shiong was 50% of his base salaries. The target bonus for Dr. Soon-Shiong was 100% of his base salary. The employees bonus target amounts were then multiplied by a percentage representing the performance
of the company during 2008. The factors included in determining corporate performance included, but was not limited to, overall sales, manufacturing, business development activity, and the achievement of regulatory, research & development
and clinical operations goals. After reviewing the companys performance for 2008, management recommended that the company performance multiplier be 94%. Following this determination, each individual bonus was then multiplied by a percentage
representing the employees individual performance as determined by management, which ranged from 0% to 104%, depending upon whether the individuals performance met, exceeded or was below expectations. To preserve cash, 60% of all 2008
bonuses (including to our NEOs) were paid in the form of cash, with the remainder being paid in the form of restricted stock units.

We
currently do not have a formal policy that would adjust or recover any bonus amounts previously paid to our executive officers if the corporate performance objectives upon which these payments are based are subsequently restated or otherwise
adjusted in a manner that would have reduced the size of the bonus amount.

Long-Term Incentives.We believe that stock ownership by
management is beneficial in aligning management and stockholder interests, thereby enhancing stockholder value. Our stock incentive plan allows for grants of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other equity awards. Equity
awards may be granted to management, including our executive officers, and other employees under the stock incentive plan, which is administered by our board of directors through the compensation committee. The compensation committee advises the
board of directors with respect to, and approves all awards made to, our executive officers. The majority of



10



---

awards granted under our stock incentive plan has been in the form of a combination of stock options and restricted stock units. Because of the direct
relationship between the value of an equity award and the stock price, the compensation committee believes that equity awards motivate the executive officers to manage our business in a manner that is consistent with stockholder interests. Stock
option grants and other equity awards are intended to focus the attention of the recipient on our long-term performance, which we believe results in improved stockholder value, and to retain the services of the executive officers in a competitive
job market by providing significant long-term earnings potential. To this end, stock options and other equity awards will generally vest and become fully exercisable over a four-year period. However, under our stock incentive plan, equity awards may
be granted with differing vesting periods. The principal factors considered in granting stock options and other equity awards to our executive officers has been prior performance, level of responsibility, other compensation, and the officers
ability to influence our long-term growth and profitability. However, our equity plans do not generally provide any quantitative method for weighting these factors, and the compensation committees decisions with respect to grant awards will be
based primarily upon subjective evaluations of the past as well as future anticipated performance.

Due to the undetermined timing of the
separation of our business from Old Abraxis during the course of 2007, the Old Abraxis compensation committee did not award any stock options or other equity awards to our NEOs in 2007. In November 2008, our compensation committee granted equity
awards to each of our employees, including our NEOs, whose value equaled approximately 150% of the employees base salary in order to compensate our employees for the lack of awards in 2007.

Health and Welfare Benefits. We have adopted certain general employee benefit plans in which the executive officers are permitted to participate
on parity with other employees. We also provide a 401(k) deferred compensation plan, pursuant to which we currently make contributions equal to 3% of employees compensation. We believe that the benefit from these plans assist us to attract and
retain talented executives.

Other Executive Benefits and Perquisites

We also provide certain benefits and perquisites to executive officers. These benefits and perquisites provide flexibility to the executives and increase
travel efficiencies, allowing more productive use of executive time, in return allowing greater focus on our business activities. In addition, to maximize the time that our CEO spends on our business, and for safety and security reasons, we require
our CEO to use our aircraft for both business and personal travel. More detail on these benefits and perquisites may be found in the narrative following the Summary Compensation Table below.

Post-Termination Compensation

Certain
executive officers have agreements that provide for payments upon certain terminations of their employments. We believe that these provisions helped us to attract and retain these persons for their positions. Our severance provisions for the NEOs
are summarized in Agreements with our NEOs and Payments Upon Termination below.

Impact of Regulatory Requirements on
Compensation

Deductibility of Compensation. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits the tax deductibility by
a publicly-held corporation of compensation in excess of $1 million paid to the CEO or any other of its four most highly compensated executive officers, unless that compensation is performance-based compensation as defined by the
Internal Revenue Code. The compensation committee considers deductibility under Section 162(m) with respect to other compensation arrangements with executive officers. However, the compensation committee and the board believe that it is in our
best interest that the compensation committee retain its flexibility and discretion to make compensation awards, whether or not deductible, in order to foster achievement of performance goals established by the compensation committee as well as
other corporate goals that the compensation committee deems important to our success, such as encouraging employee retention and rewarding achievement.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Beginning in the first quarter of 2006, we began accounting for stock-based payments in accordance with the requirements of FAS 123R using the modified
retrospective approach. Under this approach, the fair value of stock-based employee compensation was recorded as an expense in the current year.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation. On October 22, 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act
of 2004 was signed into law, changing the tax rules applicable to nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements. We believe we are in compliance with the statutory provisions which became effective January 1, 2005.

Compensation Committee Report

The compensation
committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management and, based on the review and discussions, recommended to the board of directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and our 2008 Annual Stockholders Meeting Proxy Statement. The material in this report is not deemed filed with the SEC and is not incorporated by reference in any of our filings

| | (a) | For security and management efficiency reasons, certain of our executive officers travel on our private aircraft primarily for business-related matters. The methodology that
we use to calculate our incremental direct operating cost for an officers personal use of the aircraft is based on the cost of fuel, trip-related airport fees, and pilot meals and lodging. Since the aircraft is primarily used for business
travel, the methodology excludes the fixed costs which do not change based on the usage of the aircraft (such as pilot salaries) and non-trip related hangar and maintenance expenses.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b) | For security-related reasons, we provide our executive chairman with the use of cars, security drivers, security systems and other security services.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (c) | Ms. Gopala was provided with the use of a house, which was used only for business purposes, in Illinois. The amount reflected represented the value of the housing
provided by us or the sum of the rental payments.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (d) | In 2007 and 2006, we provided for relocation expenses that were incurred by Mr. Wendel, as well as cost of living adjustments.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (e) | In connection with Ms. Gopalas termination of employment, we paid her the amount that she would have been entitled to under her employment agreement, as if she had
been terminated without cause.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (f) | We paid certain group life insurance and matched certain contributions made by our executive officers to our 401K plan. In addition, we paid an executive benefit to our CEO,
Mr. Wendel and Ms. Gopala. From time to time, our executive chairman obtains informal legal, business or technical advice from a limited number of employees and consultants of the company relating to non-company matters and uses certain
office space, not otherwise being used or needed by the company, for such matters. We have determined that both the time spent by these employees and consultants and the use of such office space was not material to the company, did not result
in any incremental cost to the company and did not affect in any material respect any employees or consultants obligations to the company. Our executive chairman will reimburse the company if in the future such time or use results
in an incremental cost to the company as to which the audit committee determines reimbursement is appropriate under the circumstances.

President and Chief Financial Officer. Dr. Geehr entered into an employment agreement with us effective October 6, 2008 to serve as our Executive Vice President of Operations. Under the terms of the employment agreements,
Mr. OToole and Dr. Geehr receive an annual base salary of $400,000 and $425,000, respectively, in each case subject to annual review by the board of directors. In addition, both Mr. OToole and Dr. Geehr are eligible
to participate in the companys general benefit plans, as well as the annual cash bonus plan designed for other executive officers. At their discretion, the compensation committee generally sets the target bonus goals each fiscal year for the
annual cash bonus plan, generally based on a percentage of base salary; however, in the case of Dr. Geehr, the terms of his employment agreement set his 2009 target bonus level at 50% of base salary. Additional terms with respect to benefits
payable upon the executives termination of employment under certain circumstances are described below under Payments upon Termination.

Employment Agreement with Lisa Gopala

Under the terms of the agreement with Ms. Gopala, she received an annual base
salary of $450,000, subject to annual review by our board of directors and compensation committee, and was eligible to participate in our bonus plan designed for other executive officers. Pursuant to the terms of Ms. Gopalas agreement,
her target bonus was 50% of her base salary. In addition, Ms. Gopala received an option to purchase 35,000 shares of Old Abraxis common stock on August 1, 2006 with an exercise price of $20.07, which was converted in connection with the
separation into an option to purchase 14,850 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $47.30. Under the terms of this agreement, this option would vest in four equal annual installments with the first installment vesting on the first
anniversary of the grant date, subject to acceleration under certain circumstances.

Ms. Gopala resigned her employment with us
effective May 21, 2008. As a result of her resignation, Ms. Gopalas employment agreement was terminated.

PAYMENTS UPON
TERMINATION

This section describes the payments and benefits that certain of our named executive officers would have been entitled to
had their employment been terminated under the circumstances described below on December 31, 2008. In this section, the value associated with the acceleration of equity compensation is based on the closing market price of a share of our common
stock as of December 31, 2008 minus the exercise price (if any). On December 31, 2008, the closing market price of our common stock was $68.77. The amounts also include those amounts that the executive earned through that time and
estimated amounts that would be paid out upon termination. The actual payments to the executive can only be determined at the actual time of termination.

David OToole and Edward Geehr

Mr. OTooles and Dr. Geehrs
employment agreements provide for severance benefits in the event that the executives employment is terminated (i) by the company without cause, or (ii) by the executive for Good Reason. Severance benefits are
specifically not triggered by a termination of employment in the event of a sale transaction where the agreement is specifically assumed by the successor entity. If severance benefits are triggered, the executive will receive (in
addition to his salary up to the termination date, accrued vacation, and other vested benefits under company benefit plans up to the date of termination) the sum of the following over a twelve month period from the date of termination (the
Severance Period), subject to restrictions under Section 409A of the Code, (i) 150% of the executives salary based on his then-current base salary, and (ii) a bonus (if applicable) calculated based on either the 2009
target incentive bonus (if the termination occurs before the 2009 bonus is paid) or the average of the last two annual incentive bonuses paid, and in either case, prorated to the date of termination. In

---

addition, any stock options and other equity awards held by the executive would accelerate up to the end of the Severance Period. These severance payments
and benefits are contingent on the executive agreeing not to compete with the company during the Severance Period and executing a general release in favor of the company. Under their employment agreements, these severance payments would equal
$800,000 for Mr. OToole and $850,000 for Dr. Geehr, assuming the executives current base salaries, a target bonus of 50% of base salary (with no proration), and not including a value for the acceleration of any equity holdings.

For purposes of these agreements, the term cause included:



| |  |  | a material breach of the agreement, confidentiality agreement or any of our policies, if not cured to our satisfaction within twenty (20) days after our
written notice to Executive;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the failure of the executive to substantially perform his duties, which continues for 20 days following notice;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the indictment of a crime involving dishonesty, breach of trust, physical harm to any person or serious moral turpitude; or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the engagement of conduct which is materially injurious to us (monetarily or otherwise) or which constitutes a material violation of federal or state law relating
to us or our business.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The term good reason included the occurrence any of the following without the
executives express consent:



| |  |  | a material adverse change to his overall status and responsibility;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | requiring him to be based at any place outside of fifty (50) miles from our current principal office;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a reduction in his base salary or benefits; or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any failure by a successor company to assume and agree to perform our obligations hereunder.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lisa Gopala

Ms. Gopala resigned
her employment with us effective May 21, 2008. Under the terms of an agreement that we entered into with Ms. Gopala at the time, we paid her a severance payment of $868,750, less applicable withholding amounts. In addition, the stock
options that Ms. Gopala received in connection with her employment agreement accelerated their vesting for an additional eighteen months following the termination date; however, she did not exercise any of such options prior to their expiration
date.

notes to our consolidated and combined financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. At December 31, 2008, each of the non-employee directors had the following number of stock options

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION

We maintain one compensation plan, our 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the Stock Incentive Plan), that provides for the issuance of our common
stock to officers, directors, other employees or consultants. The Stock Incentive Plan has been approved by the stockholders.

In addition,
in connection with our separation from Old Abraxis, we assumed the American BioScience Restricted Unit Plan I and the American BioScience Restricted Unit Plan II (the ABI RSU Plans), and the restricted units previously granted under
these plans to our employees. The ABI RSU Plans were not approved by our stockholders.

The following table provides information about the
Stock Incentive Plan and the ABI RSU Plans as of December 31, 2008:

on April 18, 2008 and the remaining one-half of the units generally will vest on April 18, 2010. On each vesting date, the value of the restricted stock unit award converted or will convert into the right to receive a number of shares of
our common stock equal to the notional price that vests on such date divided by the average trading price of our common stock over the three trading days ending two days prior to vesting; except that if the average trading price of our common stock
for such period is less than $66.63, then the notional price that vests on such date is divided by $66.63. We may elect to pay to the holder the cash value of our common stock that vests on each vesting date in lieu of delivery of our common stock.

|Item 13. | CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS, RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
|-------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------

The following is a description of certain transactions and relationships entered into or existing since January 1, 2008, between us and certain affiliated parties. Our audit committee has the authority to review
and to approve all related party transactions. It is our practice to have all related party transactions approved by either our audit committee or an independent committee of the board.

Agreements Related to Separation

In connection with the separation, we entered into a number of
agreements that govern the relationship between New APP and us for a period of time after the separation. The agreements were entered into while we were still a wholly owned subsidiary of Old Abraxis. These agreements include:



| |  |  | Tax allocation agreement;
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | Dual officer agreement;
| | - |  | -----------------------



| |  |  | Employee matters agreement;
| | - |  | ---------------------------



| |  |  | Transition services agreement;
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | Manufacturing agreement; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | Various real estate leases.
| | - |  | ---------------------------

Until
May 2008, Patrick Soon-Shiong, M.D. and our former chief financial officer, Lisa Gopala, were also the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, respectively of New APP. Dr. Soon-Shiong also owned approximately 80% of the outstanding
capital stock of New APP and served as its chairman of the board until September 2008.

Each of these agreements related to the separation
was approved by the unanimous consent of our board of directors. In addition, each of our directors was a member of the Old Abraxis board of directors at the time these agreements were approved by them.

Tax Allocation Agreement

The tax allocation
agreement allocates the liability for taxes. Under the tax allocation agreement, New APP is responsible for and has agreed to indemnify us against all tax liabilities to the extent they relate to New APPs hospital-based business, and we are
responsible for and have agreed to indemnify New APP against all tax liabilities to the extent they relate to our proprietary products business. The tax allocation agreement also provides the extent to which, and the circumstances under which, the
parties would be liable if the separation were not to constitute a tax-free distribution under Section 355 and Section 368(a)(1)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code. In general, we are required to indemnify New APP for any taxes resulting from
a failure of the distribution to so qualify, unless such failure results solely from New APPs specified acts.

Dual Officer Agreement

We entered into an agreement with New APP under which we and New APP acknowledged and agreed that Dr. Soon-Shiong and Ms. Gopala
could serve as an officer of both companies and receive compensation from either or both companies. New APP also acknowledged and agreed in this agreement that neither Dr. Soon-Shiong nor Ms. Gopala would have any obligation to present to
New APP any business or corporate opportunity that may come to his or her attention, other than certain business opportunities relating to the manufacture or sale of products that either were manufactured and sold by the hospital-based products
business prior to the separation or were the subject of an ANDA filed prior to the separation and related transactions.

Effective
May 1, 2008, New APP appointed a new chief executive officer and chief financial officer who replaced Dr. Soon-Shiong and Ms. Gopala in those positions. In addition, Ms. Gopala resigned as our chief financial officer in May 2008.

---

Employee Matters Agreement

We entered into an employee matters agreement with New APP, providing our respective obligations to employees and former employees who are or were associated with our respective businesses, and for other employment
and employee benefit matters. Under the terms of the employee matters agreement, New APP generally assumed all liabilities and obligations related to employee benefits for current and former employees who are or were associated with the
hospital-based business, and we generally assumed all liabilities and obligations related to employee benefits for current and former employees who are or were associated with the proprietary products business. Under the employee matters agreement,
the parties have agreed to reimburse one another for all indemnifiable losses that each may incur on behalf of the other as a result of any of the benefit plans or any of the termination or severance obligations.

Transition Services Agreement

Pursuant to the
transition services agreement, we and New APP will continue to provide to one another various services on an interim, transitional basis for periods up to 24 months, depending on the particular service. Services that we provide to New APP include
legal services (e.g., assistance with SEC filings, labor and employment matters, and litigation support), financial services and corporate development. Services that New APP provides to us include information technology support, tax services, legal
services, accounts payable services, internal audit services, accounts receivable services, general accounting related assistance, corporate insurance and franchise tax services, human resources, customer operations, sales and marketing support,
corporate purchasing and facility services and regulatory support (including assistance with state and federal license renewals). Payments made under the transition services agreement are based on the providing partys actual costs of providing
a particular service. This agreement will terminate after a period of 24 months, but generally may be terminated earlier by either party as to specific services on certain conditions. For the year ended December 31, 2008, we incurred net
transition service income of $0.5 million with New APP.

Manufacturing Agreement

We entered into a manufacturing agreement with New APP, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, New
APP LLC, for the manufacture of Abraxane ® and certain of our pipeline products by New APP LLC for us, at the Melrose Park and Grand Island manufacturing facilities. Under the terms of the
manufacturing agreement, we will perform certain manufacturing activities with respect to Abraxane ® or other pipeline products, principally related to the formulation and compounding of
the active pharmaceutical ingredients in such products, and New APP LLC will undertake the remainder of the manufacturing processes. As part of the manufacturing services, New APP LLC will also provide us with training related to proper
manufacturing practices and other related training, assistance with quality assurance and control and information technology support related to manufacturing operations. With regard to the Melrose Park and Grand Island facilities, New APP LLC is
responsible for obtaining and maintaining necessary approvals to manufacture Abraxane ® or other pipeline products in compliance with the regulatory requirements applicable as to the
jurisdictions in which such products are sold, subject to the right to receive reimbursement from us for the costs of such approvals in certain circumstances. We are responsible for obtaining and maintaining the remainder of the regulatory approvals
required to sell and distribute Abraxane ® both in the United States and in other jurisdictions and we are responsible for the final release of the product for sale at the completion of the
manufacturing process.

In the manufacturing agreement, New APP LLC agreed with us
to cap over the term of the agreement the manufacturing growth of Abraxane® and other pipeline products that New APP LLC is required to manufacture under the agreement. Further, in the
event of capacity constraints at the Melrose Park or Grand Island facilities, the manufacturing agreement will provide that the available capacity will be prorated between us and New APP LLC according to the parties then current use of New APP
LLCs manufacturing capacity. While the manufacturing agreement allows us to override these proration provisions, we may only do so by paying New APP LLC additional fees under the manufacturing agreement. The fee we would be required to pay New
APP LLC to override the proration provisions of the manufacturing agreement is equal to the profit lost by New APP LLC as a result of our election to override the proration provisions.



23



---

We pay New APP LLC a customary margin on its manufacturing costs. In addition, during each of the first
three years of the manufacturing agreement, we pay New APP LLC a facility management fee equal to $3 million. The amount of this fee may be offset to the extent New APP employees are transferred to us based upon the amount of compensation paid to
such transferred employees. The term of the manufacturing agreement will end on December 31, 2011, which will be automatically extended for one year if either New APP exercises its right to extend the lease on our Melrose Park manufacturing
facility for an additional year or we exercise our right to extend the lease for New APPs Grand Island manufacturing facility for an additional year. (See Real Estate Leases below.)

The manufacturing agreement includes customary confidentiality provisions pursuant to which we and New APP LLC will keep confidential all confidential
information of the other party, subject to certain exceptions.

In addition, the
manufacturing agreement contains the following indemnification provisions. We will indemnify New APP LLC, its affiliates and its officers, directors and employees and agents (which are referred to as the APP indemnified parties) from any
damages incurred by or assessed against them resulting from a third-party claim caused by or alleged to be caused by (i) our failure to perform our obligations under the manufacturing agreement, (ii) any product liability claim arising
from the negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct of our or any of our affiliates or any product liability claim arising from our manufacturing obligations (or any failure or deficiency in our manufacturing obligations) under the manufacturing
agreement, (iii) any claim that the manufacture, use or sale of Abraxane ® or our pipeline products infringes a patent or any other proprietary right of a third party, or (iv) any
recall, product liability claim or other third-party claim not arising from the gross negligence or bad faith of, or intentional misconduct or intentional breach of the manufacturing agreement by, the New APP indemnified parties by reason of the
$100 million limitation of liability described below. We will also indemnify the New APP indemnified parties for liabilities that they become subject to as a result of their activities under the manufacturing agreement and for which they are not
responsible under the terms of the manufacturing agreement. New APP LLC will indemnify us, and our affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from any damages incurred or assessed against them resulting from a
third-party claim caused by or alleged to be caused by (i) New APP LLCs gross negligence, bad faith, intentional misconduct or intentional failure to perform its obligations under the manufacturing agreement, and (ii) any product
liability claim arising from the gross negligence or bad faith of, or intentional misconduct or intentional breach of the manufacturing agreement by, New APP LLC or its affiliates. The New APP indemnified parties will not have any liability for
monetary damages to our affiliates or third parties in connection with the manufacturing agreement for damages in excess of $100 million in the aggregate, except to the extent that the damages are the result of (i) one of New APP LLCs or
our executive officers in bad faith affirmatively instructing their employees to intentionally breach New APP LLCs obligation to manufacture Abraxane ® or pipeline products under the
manufacturing agreement or (ii) any intentional failure by New APP LLC, in bad faith, to cure any material breach of its obligation to manufacture Abraxane ® or pipeline products under
the manufacturing agreement following notice of this breach.

For the period ended
December 31, 2008, we incurred $3.0 million of facility management fees and incurred fees of $1.7 million for earned margins relating to the manufacture of Abraxane ® by New APP for
us.

Real Estate Leases

Pursuant to the separation, we own the manufacturing facility located on Ruby Street, Melrose Park,
Illinois, and the research and development and the warehouse facility, both located in the same building on N. Cornell Avenue, Melrose Park, Illinois. New APP owns the manufacturing facility located in Grand Island, New York. In connection with the
separation, the parties entered into a series of lease agreements to facilitate continued production of their respective pharmaceutical products while a manufacturing transition plan is implemented. Under the terms of the lease agreements, we lease
the Ruby Street facility, consisting of approximately 122,000 square feet of office, warehouse and pharmaceutical manufacturing space, to New APP. The initial term of the lease expires on December 31, 2011 and may be renewed at the option of
New APP for one additional year if New APP is manufacturing a certain level of its products at the Ruby Street facility in the period prior to the expiration of the lease. During the term of the lease, we will have access to the Ruby Street facility
to perform certain elements of the manufacturing processes of Abraxane ® and other nab ® technology product candidates under the
manufacturing agreement as well as, under certain circumstances, to provide contract manufacturing services to third parties. In order to provide sufficient warehouse space to New APP during the term of the Ruby Street lease, we also leased the



24



---

Cornell Warehouse facility, consisting of approximately 71,000 square feet of warehouse space, to New APP. The initial term of the lease will be until
December 31, 2011, and may be renewed at New APPs option for one additional year if the lease for the Ruby Street manufacturing facility is extended. We also leased the Cornell R&D facility, consisting of approximately 48,000 square
feet of research and development space, to New APP. The initial term of the lease will be until December 31, 2010 and may be terminated upon twelve months written notice from and after January 1, 2009. This lease has no option to extend
the term of the lease.

We leased a portion of New APPs Grand Island facility,
consisting of approximately 5,700 square feet of pharmaceutical manufacturing space, to allow us to perform our obligations under the manufacturing agreement. The initial term of the lease will be until December 31, 2011, and may be renewed at
our option for one additional year if we have not received regulatory approvals from the EMEA to manufacture Abraxane ® in at least two facilities (not including the Grand Island facility)
by June 30, 2011.

For the period ended December 31, 2008, we had $2.6 million in net rental income relating to these real estate
leases.

Other

We entered into
employment agreements with David OToole and Edward Geehr in 2008. See the discussion of these agreements under Agreements with Our NEOs and Payments upon Termination. We also employ Edith Lee, the sister-in-law of our
executive chairman, as our Senior Director of Administration. We recognized compensation expense in 2008 for her of approximately $200,000, representing her salary and bonus as well as equity compensation related to her employment with Abraxis
BioScience and its predecessor, Old Abraxis. Prior to joining Old Abraxis in 2006, she was an employee of ABI where she became a participant in the American BioScience Restricted Unit Plan II as more fully described in Note 11 to our financial
statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

For the period following the separation, our audit committee pre-approved all audit and non-audit
services provided by Ernst & Young, as described in the audit committees charter. Audit and non-audit services provided by Ernst & Young in 2007 were pre-approved by the audit committee of Old Abraxis prior to the separation
and all such services in 2008 were pre-approved by our audit committee. Audit fees included fees associated with the integrated audit of our consolidated financial statements and our internal control over financial reporting and the statutory audits
of various of our subsidiaries. Audit-related fees principally include fees associated with the audit and review of documents filed with the SEC related to the pending spin-off of Abraxis Health and fees in connection with the audit of our 401(k)
plan. Tax fees include fees for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning services.

Our audit committee has considered whether the
audit-related, tax and all other services provided by Ernst & Young are compatible with maintaining that firms independence.
