    Dear
Craig,

    

    I am
delighted to offer you the position of Vice President, Chief Financial Officer
at Hana Biosciences, Inc. You will report to Steven R. Deitcher, M.D., President
and Chief Executive Officer.  Your start date with the Company will be
on or before Monday, March 1, 2010.

    

    Your base
salary will be $295,000 per year (gross, less legally required withholding and
other required deductions, and any deductions that you voluntarily authorize in
writing), paid semi-monthly.  In addition, you will be eligible for an
annual performance-based cash bonus of up to 30% of your annualized base
salary.  The determination of your annual bonus will be made by the
Chief Executive Officer and will be subject to approval by Hana’s Board of
Directors.  For 2010, your target bonus will be pro-rated based on the
commencement of your employment.

    

    Effective
upon the commencement of your employment with Hana, you will also be granted an
option to purchase 350,000 shares of Hana stock which vest one-third on the
first anniversary of the grant date and, thereafter, the remainder will vest in
24 equal monthly installments over two years (the “Initial Option”). The
exercise price of the Initial Option will be equal to the closing price of Hana
common stock, as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board, on the last business day
prior to your first day of employment.  In addition, you will be
entitled to an additional stock option grant to purchase 150,000 shares of Hana
common stock upon closing of a financing transaction in 2010 that results in net
proceeds to Hana of greater than $20,000,000, or 250,000 shares of Hana common
stock upon closing of a financing transaction in 2010 that results in net
proceeds to Hana of greater than $30,000,000 (the “Financing Options”), in
either case at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of Hana’s common
stock as determined in accordance with Hana’s stock option pricing policies then
in effect. Your right to purchase one-third of the shares subject to any
Financing Options will vest in the same manner as the Initial Option (i.e.,
one-third on the first anniversary of the grant date, and the remainder in 24
equal monthly installments thereafter).  The Initial Option and any
Financing Options will be evidenced to separate stock option agreements on the
Company’s standard form.  Any other future stock options will be
granted per guidelines then in place for all employees of the company, based on
performance and contributions as determined by the company’s Board of
Directors.

    

    If your
employment with Hana is terminated by Hana without “cause,” or if you terminate
your employment with Hana for “good reason,” then you shall be entitled to
continue receiving your then current annualized base salary for a period of six
months following such termination;  provided, however, Hana shall
have no obligation to pay any compensation or other consideration following the
termination of your employment unless you execute a separate agreement releasing
Hana and entities and persons associated with Hana from any and
all  claims relating to or in connection with your employment,
including the termination of your employment.  For purposes of this
letter, the term “cause” means any of the following actions committed by
you:

              (2)

            	
              Willful,
      intentional or grossly negligent act by you having the effect of injuring,
      in a material way (whether financial or otherwise), the business or
      reputation of Hana or any of its affiliates, including but not limited to,
      any officer, director, executive or shareholder of Hana or its
      affiliates;

              (4)

      conviction of any felony or a misdemeanor involving a crime of moral
      turpitude (including entry of a nolo contendere
  plea);

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (5)

            	
              Hana’s
      determination based upon clear and convincing evidence, after a reasonable
      and good-faith investigation following a written allegation by another
      Hana employee, that you engaged in material harassment prohibited by law (including, without
      limitation, age, sex or race
discrimination);

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (6)

            	
              Any
      misappropriation or embezzlement by you of Hana’s (or its affiliates’)
      property (whether or not a misdemeanor or felony);
  or

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (7)

            	
              A
      material breach by you of any of your obligations under any other
      agreement or Hana policy, including, without limitation, Hana’s code of
      ethics, employee manual and any invention assignment, confidentiality and
      non-solicitation agreement(s).

            

    

     

    For
purposes of this letter, the term “good reason” means  (i) a reduction
in your annual base salary or annual target bonus rate or a material reduction
in the benefits provided to you by Hana taken as a whole, in each case without
your consent, but not if all senior executives of Hana incur any such reduction
in compensation or other benefits; or (ii) a significant reduction in your
duties and responsibilities; provided, however, that an event shall not
constitute “good reason” unless you first notify Hana of such event in writing
(including by email) within 30 days of the date you became aware of such event
and the event is not corrected by Hana to your reasonable satisfaction within 30
days of the date of your written notice to Hana.

    

    Hana
Biosciences, Inc. provides its employees with a benefit package, paid medical,
dental, life and disability programs, you will be eligible to participate in our
401k plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan. You will also be entitled to 3 weeks

start.  This offer of employment is also conditioned upon your entry
into an invention assignment, confidentiality and non-solicitation agreement, in
the Company’s standard form.

    

    Even
though some provisions in this offer letter refer to future dates, they are only
reference points for certain events that are scheduled for as long as you are
employed.  Your employment with Hana is for an indefinite term, and
nothing in this Letter modifies your at-will employment relationship with the
Company. This offer expires on February 12, 2010.

    RE: Craig
Carlson Employment with Hana Biosciences

    

    

    Dear
Craig,

    

    This will
confirm our recent discussions concerning your employment with Hana Biosciences
and the effective date of your appointment as Hana’s Chief Financial
Officer.  As described in the February 5, 2010 letter agreement
between Hana and you, your employment with Hana will commence on March 1,
2010.  However, notwithstanding the terms of such letter agreement,
upon the commencement of your employment with Hana on March 1, 2010, you will
assume the title and position of Vice President of Hana.  Effective
April 1, 2010, you will assume the role of Hana’s principal financial officer
and your title will change to Vice President, Chief Financial
Officer.  Despite these changes, all other terms of your employment
described in the February 5, 2010 letter agreement, including your compensation,
remain unaffected.

    

    Please
acknowledge your agreement to the foregoing by signing in the space indicated
below and returning a fully-signed copy of this letter to my
attention.

    

    

    Sincerely
yours,

Company shall have advanced funds sufficient to pay the Trustee’s expenses
incident thereto.

      

      (h)  Render to the Company, and to
such other person as the Company may instruct, monthly written statements of the
activities of, and amounts in, the Trust Account, reflecting all receipts and
disbursements of the Trust Account; and

Trust Account only after and promptly after receipt of, and only in accordance
with, the terms of a letter (“Termination Letter”), in a form substantially
similar to that attached hereto as either Exhibit A,  Exhibit B or
Exhibit C hereto, signed on behalf of the Company by its Chief Executive
Officer, President or Chairman of the Board and Secretary or Assistant
Secretary, and complete the liquidation of the Trust Account and distribute the
Property in the Trust Account only as directed in the Termination Letter and the
other documents referred to therein; provided, however, that in the event that a
Termination Letter has not been received by the Trustee by the 15-month
anniversary of the Effective Date of the Registration Statement, the Trust
Account shall be liquidated in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
Termination Letter attached as Exhibit B hereto and distributed to the
stockholders of record on such 15-month anniversary date.  In the
event the Trustee receives a Termination Letter in a form substantially similar
to Exhibit B hereto, or if the Trustee begins to liquidate the Property because
it has received no such Termination Letter by the 15-month anniversary of the
Effective Date of the Registration Statement, following the liquidation of the
Property, the Trustee shall keep the Trust Account open until the earlier to
occur of (i) twelve (12) months following the date the Property has been
distributed to the Public Stockholders; (ii) the Trustee’s receipt of a
Termination Letter in a form substantially similar to Exhibit C hereto; or (iii)
a notice from the Company’s independent auditors  stating that the
Company will not be receiving any tax refund on its income tax
obligation.  The provisions of this paragraph 1(i) may not be
modified, amended or deleted under any circumstances.

      

      2. 
Limited Distributions of Income from Trust Account.

      

      (a)  Upon written request from the
Company, which may be given from time to time in a form substantially similar to
that attached hereto as Exhibit D, the Trustee shall distribute to the Company
from the Trust Account the amount necessary to cover any tax obligation owed by
the Company and, to the extent there is not sufficient cash in the Trust Account
to pay such tax obligation, liquidate such assets held in the Trust Account as
shall be designated by the Company in writing to make such distribution;
provided, however, that if the tax to be paid is a franchise tax, the written
request by the Company shall be accompanied by a copy of the annual franchise
tax bill from the State of Delaware and a statement of the principal financial
officer of the Company setting forth the actual amount payable.  The
written request of the Company referenced above shall constitute presumptive
evidence that the Company is entitled to said funds, and the trustee has no
responsibility to look beyond said request. 

       

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      (b)  Upon written request from the
Company, which shall be given in a form substantially similar to that attached
hereto as Exhibit C, the Trustee shall distribute to the Company’s Public
Stockholders, amounts deposited by the Company to the Trust Account that the
Company has represented to be tax refund(s) of the Company’s income tax
obligations.

      

      (c)  The limited distributions
referred to in paragraph 2(a) above shall be made only from income collected on
the Property, and in no event shall the payments authorized by paragraph 2(a)
and 2(b) cause the amount in the Trust Account to fall below the amount
initially deposited into the Trust Account.  Except as provided in
paragraph 2(a) and 2(b) above, no other distributions from the Trust Account
shall be permitted except in accordance with paragraph 1(i) hereof;
and

      

      (d)  In all cases, the Company
shall promptly provide Morgan Joseph with a copy of any Termination Letters
and/or any other correspondence that it issues to the Trustee with respect to
any proposed withdrawal from the Trust Account promptly after such
issuance.

      

      3.  Agreements
and Covenants of the Company.  The Company hereby agrees and covenants
to:

      

      (a)  Give all instructions to the
Trustee hereunder in writing, signed by the Company’s Chairman of the Board or
Chief Executive Officer, and other officers as specified in paragraph
1(i).  In addition, except with respect to its duties under paragraphs
1(i), 2(a) and 2(b) above, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on, and shall
be protected in relying on, any verbal or telephonic advice or instruction which
it in good faith believes to be given by any one of the persons authorized above
to give written instructions, provided that the Company shall promptly confirm
such instructions in writing;

      

      (b)  Subject to the provisions of
paragraph 5 of this Agreement, hold the Trustee harmless and indemnify the
Trustee from and against, any and all expenses, including reasonable counsel
fees and disbursements, or loss suffered by the Trustee in connection with any
action taken by the trustee hereunder or any claim, potential claim, action,
suit or other proceeding brought against the Trustee involving any claim, or in
connection with any claim or demand which in any way arises out of or relates to
this Agreement, the services of the Trustee hereunder, or the Property or any
income earned from investment of the Property, except for expenses and losses
resulting from the Trustee’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct.  Promptly after the receipt by the Trustee of notice of
demand or claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, pursuant
to which the Trustee intends to seek indemnification under this paragraph, it
shall notify the Company in writing of such claim (hereinafter referred to as

the actual date of the consummation of the Business Transaction (“Consummation
Date”).

      

      In accordance with the terms of the

investments on________________ ,  and to transfer the proceeds to the
above referenced checking account at Deutsche Bank to the effect that, on the

on the Consummation Date.  It is acknowledged and agreed that while
the funds are on deposit in the trust checking account awaiting distribution,
Trust Account will not earn any interest or dividends.

       

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      On the Consummation Date (i) counsel

      Gentlemen:

      

      Pursuant to paragraph 1(i) of the
Investment Management Trust Agreement between 57th Street General Acquisition
Corp. (“Company”) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
(“Trustee”), dated as of ________, 2010 (“Trust Agreement”), this is to advise
you that the Company has been unable to effect a Business Transaction with a
Target Company within the time frame specified in the Company’s Certificate of
Incorporation, as described in the Company’s prospectus relating to its
IPO.

      

        In accordance with the
terms of the Trust Agreement, we hereby authorize you to liquidate all the Trust
Account investments on ______________2011 and to transfer the total proceeds to
the Trust Checking Account at Deutsche Bank to await distribution to the
stockholders. The Company has selected ____________ 20 ___as the record date for
the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to receive their share of
the liquidation proceeds.  You agree to be the Paying Agent of record
and in your separate capacity as Paying Agent and to distribute said funds
directly to the Company’s stockholders (other than with respect to the initial,
or insider shares) in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, the
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, and your standard
fees.   Upon the distribution of all the funds in the Trust
Account, your obligations under the Trust Agreement shall be terminated,
provided, however, that in the event the Company receives a refund of taxes paid
on its income tax obligation, the Trustee agrees to immediately distribute the
proceeds of such refund on a pro-rata basis to each stockholder receiving a
distribution hereunder.
