(a) Types of Awards. The Administrator isauthorized under the Plan to award any type of arrangement to an Employee, Director or Consultant that is not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan and that by its terms involves or might involve the issuance of (i) Shares,(ii) cash or (iii) an Option, a SAR, or similar right with a fixed or variable price related to the Fair Market Value of the Shares and with an exercise or conversion privilege related to the passage of time, the occurrence of one or moreevents, or the satisfaction of performance criteria or other conditions.

(b) Designation ofAward. Each Award shall be designated in the Award Agreement. In the case of an Option, the Option shall be designated as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

9 

of Section 422(d) of the Code is not exceeded. The $100,000 limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code is calculated based on the aggregate FairMarket Value of the Shares subject to Options designated as Incentive Stock Options which become exercisable for the first time by a Grantee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company). Forpurposes of this calculation, Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the grant date of the relevant Option. In the event that theCode or the regulations promulgated thereunder are amended after the date the Plan becomes effective to provide for a different limit on the Fair Market Value of Shares permitted to be subject to Incentive Stock Options, then such different limitwill be automatically incorporated herein and will apply to any Options granted after the effective date of such amendment.

The performance criteria established by theAdministrator may be based on any one of, or combination of, the following: (i) increase in share price, (ii) earnings per share, (iii) total stockholder return, (iv) operating margin, (v) gross margin, (vi) return onequity, (vii) return on assets, (viii) return on investment, (ix) operating income, (x) net operating income, (xi) pre-tax profit, (xii) cash flow, (xiii) revenue, (xiv) expenses, (xv) earnings beforeinterest, taxes and depreciation, (xvi) economic value added and (xvii) market share. The performance criteria may be applicable to the Company, Related Entities and/or any individual business units of the Company or any Related Entity.Partial achievement of the specified criteria may result in a payment or vesting corresponding to the degree of achievement as specified in the Award Agreement. In addition, the performance criteria shall be calculated in accordance with generallyaccepted accounting principles, but excluding the effect (whether positive or negative) of any change in accounting standards and any extraordinary, unusual or nonrecurring item, as determined by the Administrator, occurring after the establishmentof the performance criteria applicable to the Award intended to be performance-based compensation. Each such adjustment, if any, shall be made solely for the purpose of providing a consistent basis from period to period for the calculation ofperformance criteria in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the Grantee’s rights with respect to an Award intended to be performance-based compensation. 

(d) Acquisitions and Other Transactions. The Administrator may issue Awards under the Plan in settlement, assumption orsubstitution for, outstanding awards or obligations to grant future awards in connection with a “corporate transaction” as defined under Section 424 of the Code, including in connection with the Company or a Related Entity acquiringanother entity, an interest in another entity or an additional interest in a Related Entity whether by merger, stock purchase, asset purchase or other form of transaction.

10 

under an Award. The Administrator may establish the election procedures, the timing of such elections, the mechanisms for payments of, and accrual ofinterest or other earnings, if any, on amounts, Shares or other consideration so deferred, and such other terms, conditions, rules and procedures that the Administrator deems advisable for the administration of any such deferral program.

(h) Deferral. If the vesting or receipt of Shares under an Award is deferred to a later date, any amount (whetherdenominated in Shares or cash) paid in addition to the original number of Shares subject to such Award will not be treated as an increase in the number of Shares subject to the Award if the additional amount is based either on a reasonable rate ofinterest or on one or more predetermined actual investments such that the amount payable by the Company at the later date will be based on the actual rate of return of a specific investment (including any decrease as well as any increase in thevalue of an investment).

(b) No Award may be granted during any suspension of the Plan or after termination of the Plan. 

(c) No suspension or termination of the Plan (including termination of the Plan under Section 11, above) shall adversely affect anyrights under Awards already granted to a Grantee.

The Plan is not a “Retirement Plan” or “WelfarePlan” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. 

17. Stockholder Approval. The grant of IncentiveStock Options under the Plan shall be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted excluding Incentive Stock Options issued in substitution for outstandingIncentive Stock Options pursuant to Section 424(a) of the Code. Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under Applicable Laws. The Administrator may grant Incentive Stock Options under the Plan prior toapproval by the stockholders, but until such approval is obtained, no such Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable. In the event that stockholder approval is not obtained within the twelve (12) month period provided above, all IncentiveStock Options previously granted under the Plan shall be exercisable as Non-Qualified Stock Options.

The exemption is based on Treasury Regulation Section 1.162-27(f)(4)(iii), in the form existing on the effective date of the Plan,with the understanding that such regulation generally exempts from the application of Section 162(m) of the Code compensation paid pursuant to a plan that existed prior to a corporation becoming a separate publicly held corporation and prior tothe corporation’s first regularly scheduled stockholder meeting occurring more than 12 months following this event. Under such Treasury Regulation, this exemption is available to the Plan for the duration of the period that lasts until thefirst regularly scheduled meeting of the stockholders of the Company that occurs more than 12 months after the date the Company becomes a separate publicly held corporation. To the extent that the Administrator determines as of the date of grant ofan Award that (i) the Award is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation and (ii) the exemption described above is no longer available with respect to such Award, such Award shall not be effective until any stockholder approvalrequired under Section 162(m) of the Code has been obtained. 

19. Unfunded Obligation. Grantees shall have the status ofgeneral unsecured creditors of the Company. Any amounts payable to Grantees pursuant to the Plan shall be unfunded and unsecured obligations for all purposes, including, without limitation, Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Actof 1974, as amended. Neither the Company nor any Related Entity shall be required to segregate any monies from its general funds, or to create any trusts, or establish any special accounts with respect to such obligations. The Company shall retainat all times beneficial ownership of any investments, including trust investments, which the Company may make to fulfill its payment obligations hereunder. Any investments or the creation or maintenance of any trust or any Grantee account shall notcreate or constitute a trust or fiduciary relationship between the Administrator, the Company or any Related Entity and a 

 

18 

Grantee, or otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in any Grantee or the Grantee’s creditors in any assets of the Company or a RelatedEntity. The Grantees shall have no claim against the Company or any Related Entity for any changes in the value of any assets that may be invested or reinvested by the Company with respect to the Plan. 

20. Construction. Captions and titles contained herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of anyprovision of the Plan. Except when otherwise indicated by the context, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. Use of the term “or” is not intended to be exclusive, unless the context clearlyrequires otherwise. 

21. Nonexclusivity of The Plan. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board, the submission of the Plan tothe stockholders of the Company for approval, nor any provision of the Plan will be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such additional compensation arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, withoutlimitation, the granting of Awards otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

Unless otherwise defined herein, theterms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Option Agreement. 

If designated in the Notice as an Incentive StockOption, the Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Section 422 of the Code. However, notwithstanding such designation, the Option will qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under the Code only to the extent the$100,000 dollar limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code is not exceeded. The $100,000 limitation of Section 422(d) of the Code is calculated based on the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to options designated as IncentiveStock Options which become exercisable for the first time by the Grantee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company). For purposes of this calculation, Incentive Stock Options shall be takeninto account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of the shares subject to such options shall be determined as of the grant date of the relevant option.

(c) Taxes. No Shares will be delivered to the Grantee orother person pursuant to the exercise of the Option until the Grantee or other person has made arrangements acceptable to the Administrator for the satisfaction of applicable income tax and employment tax withholding obligations, including, withoutlimitation, such other tax obligations of the Grantee incident to the receipt of Shares.

1. Issuance of Units. AbraxisBioScience, Inc, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby issues to the Grantee (the “Grantee”) named in the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Notice”) an award (the “Award”) of the TotalNumber of Restricted Stock Units Awarded set forth in the Notice (the “Units”), subject to the Notice, this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”) and the terms and provisions of the Abraxis BioScience, Inc. 2007 StockIncentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), which is incorporated herein by reference. Unless otherwise provided herein, the terms in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as those defined in the Plan. 

2. Transfer Restrictions. The Units may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

3. Conversion of Units and Issuance of Shares. 

(a) General. Subject to Sections 3(b) and 3(c), one share of Common Stock shall be issuable for each Unit subject to the Award(the “Shares”) upon vesting. Immediately thereafter, or as soon as administratively feasible, the Company will transfer the appropriate number of Shares to the Grantee after satisfaction of any required tax or other withholdingobligations. Any fractional Unit remaining after the Award is fully vested shall be discarded and shall not be converted into a fractional Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relevant number of Shares shall be issued no later thanMarch 15th of the year following the calendar year in which the Award vests. In the event of a Change in Control, Corporate Transaction or Related Entity Disposition, the Units shall be subject to Section 11 of the Plan. 

(b) Delay of Conversion. The conversion of the Units into the Shares under Section 3(a) above, shall be delayed in the eventthe Company reasonably anticipates that the issuance of the Shares would constitute a violation of federal securities laws or other Applicable Law. If the conversion of the Units into the Shares is delayed by the provisions of thisSection 3(b), the conversion of the Units into the Shares shall occur at the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates issuing the Shares will not cause a violation of federal securities laws or other Applicable Law. Forpurposes of this Section 3(b), the issuance of Shares that would cause inclusion in gross income or the application of any penalty provision or other provision of the Code is not considered a violation of Applicable Law. 

(c) Delay of Issuance of Shares. The Company shall delay the issuance of any Shares under this Section 3 to the extentnecessary to comply with Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (relating to payments made to certain “specified employees” of 

certain publicly-traded companies); in such event, any Shares to which the Grantee would otherwise be entitled during the six (6) month period followingthe date of the Grantee’s termination of Continuous Service will be issuable on the first business day following the expiration of such six (6) month period. 

4. Right to Shares. The Grantee shall not have any right in, to or with respect to any of the Shares (including any voting rights or rights with respect to dividends paid on the Common Stock) issuable under theAward until the Award is settled by the issuance of such Shares to the Grantee. 

5. Taxes. 

(a) Tax Liability. The Grantee is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed by the Grantee in connection with the Award,regardless of any action the Company or any Related Entity takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the Award. Neither the Company nor any Related Entity makes any representation or undertaking regardingthe treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the grant or vesting of the Award or the subsequent sale of Shares issuable pursuant to the Award. The Company does not commit and is under no obligation to structure the Award to reduce oreliminate the Grantee’s tax liability. 

(b) Payment of Withholding Taxes. Prior to any event in connection withthe Award (e.g., vesting) that the Company determines may result in any tax withholding obligation, whether United States federal, state, local or non-U.S., including any employment tax obligation (the “Tax Withholding Obligation”), theGrantee must arrange for the satisfaction of the minimum amount of such Tax Withholding Obligation in a manner acceptable to the Company. 

(i) *By Share Withholding.* The Grantee authorizes the Company to, upon the exercise of its sole discretion, withhold from those Shares issuable to the Grantee the whole number of Shares sufficient to satisfy theminimum applicable Tax Withholding Obligation. The Grantee acknowledges that the withheld Shares may not be sufficient to satisfy the Grantee’s minimum Tax Withholding Obligation. Accordingly, the Grantee agrees to pay to the Company or anyRelated Entity as soon as practicable, including through additional payroll withholding, any amount of the Tax Withholding Obligation that is not satisfied by the withholding of Shares described above. 

(ii) *By Sale of Shares*. Unless the Grantee determines to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation by some other means in accordancewith clause (iii) below, the Grantee’s acceptance of this Award constitutes the Grantee’s instruction and authorization to the Company and any brokerage firm determined acceptable to the Company for such purpose to, upon the exerciseof Company’s sole discretion, sell on the Grantee’s behalf a whole number of Shares from those Shares issuable to the Grantee as the Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy the minimumapplicable Tax Withholding Obligation. Such Shares will be sold on the day such Tax Withholding Obligation arises (e.g., a vesting date) or as soon thereafter as practicable. The Grantee will be responsible for all broker’s fees and other costsof sale, and the Grantee agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or expenses relating to any such sale. To the extent the proceeds of such sale exceed the Grantee’s minimum Tax Withholding 

 

2 

Obligation, the Company agrees to pay such excess in cash to the Grantee. The Grantee acknowledges that the Company or its designee is under no obligation toarrange for such sale at any particular price, and that the proceeds of any such sale may not be sufficient to satisfy the Grantee’s minimum Tax Withholding Obligation. Accordingly, the Grantee agrees to pay to the Company or any Related Entityas soon as practicable, including through additional payroll withholding, any amount of the Tax Withholding Obligation that is not satisfied by the sale of Shares described above. 

(iii) *By Check, Wire Transfer or Other Means*. At any time not less than five (5) business days (or such fewer number ofbusiness days as determined by the Administrator) before any Tax Withholding Obligation arises (e.g., a vesting date), the Grantee may elect to satisfy the Grantee’s Tax Withholding Obligation by delivering to the Company an amount that theCompany determines is sufficient to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation by (x) wire transfer to such account as the Company may direct, (y) delivery of a certified check payable to the Company, or (z) such other means as specifiedfrom time to time by the Administrator. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or a Related Entity also may satisfy any Tax Withholding Obligation byoffsetting any amounts (including, but not limited to, salary, bonus and severance payments) payable to the Grantee by the Company and/or a Related Entity. Furthermore, in the event of any determination that the Company has failed to withhold a sumsufficient to pay all withholding taxes due in connection with the Award, the Grantee agrees to pay the Company the amount of such deficiency in cash within five (5) days after receiving a written demand from the Company to do so, whether ornot the Grantee is an employee of the Company at that time. 

6. Effect of Payment of Dividends. In the event of a payment by theCompany of dividends while any Units are outstanding, there shall be no payment or other adjustment in respect of the outstanding Units as result of such dividend. Notwithstanding for the forgoing, and without limiting the rights of theAdministrator as set forth in Section 10 of the Plan, if (x) the Company issues a dividend consisting of securities of a Related Entity or otherwise makes a distribution of securities of a Related Entity to its stockholders and(y) the Grantee’s employment is transferred to such Related Entity prior to or in connection with such dividend or distribution, then the Administrator shall, if it determines such conversion to be appropriate pursuant to Section 10of the Plan, convert all Units held by the Grantee into restricted stock units of such Related Entity. 

7. Entire Agreement; GoverningLaw. The Notice, the Plan and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Grantee withrespect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Grantee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and the Grantee.
