c/o Nektar Therapeutics

201 Industrial Road

San Carlos, California 94070

Dear Randall,

I present you with this amended and restated version of your offer letter agreement (the
“Letter Agreement”) setting forth certain terms and conditions of your continued employment
in the position of Senior Vice President, Drug Development and Chief Development Officer at Nektar
Therapeutics (“Nektar” or the “Company”), reporting to me. Capitalized terms used herein and not
defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Company’s Change of Control Severance
Benefit Plan, as it may be amended from time to time (the “COC Plan” a copy of which is
enclosed herewith). This Letter Agreement supersedes the offer letter agreement you entered into
with Nektar on July 28, 2008 and any other understandings and agreements, written or oral, between
you and the Company with respect to the subject matter herein and is made effective as of the date
set forth above.

Your annual cash compensation will consist of two components: base salary and an annual
performance bonus. Your base salary will be $425,000 on an annual basis and paid in accordance
with Nektar’s regular payroll schedule. Your annual performance bonus target each year will be at
least 60% of your annual base salary for each annual period and shall be $255,000 in 2008 and not
pro-rated for your partial period of service in 2008 (“Target Annual Bonus”). Your base
salary and Target Annual Bonus shall be subject to annual performance review by the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors (“Compensation Committee”) in consultation with me.
The actual amount of your annual performance bonus will range from 0% to 200% of the Target Annual
Bonus based on the Compensation Committee’s assessment in consultation with me of the achievement
of a combination of annual corporate objectives and your achievement of personal objectives agreed
upon by you and me at the beginning of each annual performance period; provided that your
objectives for your partial period of service in 2008 will be agreed upon by you and I as soon as
practicable following your first day of full time employment (the “Start Date”). Your
annual performance bonus for a particular year will be paid not later than March 15 of the
following year.

 

 

 

In connection with your commencing employment with the Company, the Company agreed to pay you
a sign-on bonus of $35,000, payable to you in your first paycheck following your Start Date and
such amount has been paid to you. We also agreed to pay the ordinary income taxes due on the
sign-on bonus, payable directly to the appropriate taxing authorities as and when these amounts
become due, but in no event later than April 15 of the year following the year in which
the sign-on bonus was paid. If, before the first anniversary of your Start Date, your employment
is terminated by the Company for Cause or if you resign other than for a Good Reason Resignation,
then you agree to reimburse Nektar for the full amount of this sign-on bonus within 30 days.

You are also eligible to participate in Nektar’s standard employee benefits programs including
Medical, Dental and Vision Insurance, Term Life Insurance, 401(k), ESPP, Flexible Health Spending
Account, Short & Long Term Disability, COC Plan and the terms specified in those plans.

Nektar also agreed to reimburse you for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the
following (collectively, the “Relocation Expenses”):

	 	•	 	Shipment of your household goods from Solano Beach, California to the San Francisco Bay
Area.

	 
	 	•	 	Subject to your continued employment through the first anniversary of your Start Date,
we will pay you $5,000 per month (subject to applicable tax withholdings) for the first 12
months of your employment to cover the cost of housing in the San Francisco Bay Area, such
amount to be paid to you each pay period (15th and 30th of the month)
on a prorata basis. (The cost of this housing is taxable to you and will be included in
your total W-2 income).

	 
	 	•	 	Travel expenses for you to the San Francisco Bay Area.

	 
	 	•	 	Use of a rental car for up to 14 days after your Start Date or until your car arrives.

The Company has also agreed that you would receive a relocation allowance of $10,000
(“Relocation Allowance”), to paid to you in your first paycheck and such amount has already
been paid to you. This amount is subject to standard payroll withholding and deductions. If,
before the first anniversary of your Start Date, your employment is terminated by the Company for
Cause or if you resign other than for a Good Reason Resignation, you agree to reimburse the Company
for the full amount of the Relocation Expenses and Relocation Allowance within 30 days of your
temployment termination date.

The Company also agreed to provide you with the following relocation assistance benefits if
you purchase a home in the San Francisco Bay Area before the first anniversary of your Start Date
(collectively, the “Housing Transaction Costs”):

	 	•	 	Provide normal and customary closing costs on the sale of your home. Those items
considered not deductible for income tax purposes will be “grossed up” and added to those
costs considered deductible (this portion is subject to standard payroll withholding and
deductions). In no event will we reimburse you for more than 6% of the sale price.

	 
	 	•	 	Provide normal and customary single-family home purchase closing costs and loan discount
points (not to exceed 1%). Those items considered not deductible for income tax purposes
will be “grossed up” and added to those costs considered deductible (this portion is
subject to standard payroll withholding and deductions). In no event will we reimburse you
for more than 3% of the purchase price.

If, before your first anniversary of your Start Date, your employment is terminated by the
Company for Cause or if you resign other than for a Good Reason Resignation, you agree to reimburse
Nektar for the full amount of the Housing Transaction Costs within 30 days.

Your employment is by continued mutual agreement and may be terminated at will with or without
cause by either you or Nektar at any time with or without advanced notice. You have also entered
into Nektar’s standard Employment Agreement and such agreement contains certain terms and
conditions of your employment with Nektar other than those set forth herein.

In the event that your employment terminates due to your death or Disability (as defined in
the Company’s 2000 Equity Incentive Plan), (a) 50% of the then-unvested portion of any outstanding
stock options granted to you by the Company will automatically vest in the event of your Disability
(with the remainder of such unvested portion terminating immediately thereafter), and 100% of the
then-unvested portion of any outstanding stock options granted to you by the Company shall
automatically vest in the event of your death, (b) Nektar will pay to you or your estate, as
applicable, all unreimbursed expenses, all of your then accrued but unpaid base salary, and your
target bonus prorated for the portion of the last year in which you were employed by Nektar prior
to death or Disability, and (c) you and your dependents shall be entitled to continued medical,
dental, and vision insurance, at your or their expense, at the same level of coverage as was
provided to you and your dependents under Nektar’s insurance and benefits plans immediately prior
to the termination by electing COBRA continuation coverage in accordance with applicable law.

In the event your employment is terminated for reasons not related to a Change of Control (a)
by the Company without Cause, or (b) by you for a Good Reason Resignation, then you and the Company
will meet in good faith to discuss the terms of an appropriate separation. In any event, at a
minimum, the Company will enter into a severance arrangement with you which will include the
following: (i) a fully effective waiver and release in such form as the Company may reasonably
require, (ii) a cash severance payment equal to your total annual cash compensation target (defined
as your current monthly base salary annualized for 12 months, plus your bonus target multiplied by
the expected pay-out percentage used by the Company for its GAAP financial statements in the
previous calendar quarter, but not to exceed 100%), payable in accordance with the severance
payment schedule described in Section 4.2 of the COC Plan
(including, without limitation and as applicable, the six-month delay for payments to
“specified employees” as set forth in such section), (iii) the exercise period for the portion of
your outstanding stock options that are vested as of your termination date shall be 12 months
following the termination date (subject to earlier termination at the end of the option term or in
connection with a change in control of the Company in accordance with the applicable option plan
and agreement), and (iv) the Company shall pay all applicable COBRA payments for you and your
family for one year after the termination date (such payments shall cease in the event that you
become eligible for comparable benefits with another employer).

Any reimbursements pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Letter Agreement shall be made
in accordance with the Company’s reimbursement policies, practices and procedures in effect from
time to time and shall be paid as soon as reasonably practicable and in all events not later than
the end of the calendar year following the year in which the related expense was incurred. Your
rights to reimbursement hereunder are not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit
and the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement in one calendar year shall not affect the
amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other year. Any tax gross-up payments made
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Letter Agreement shall be made as soon as practicable
and in all events not later than the end of the calendar year following the year in which you remit
the related taxes.

The terms, compensation and benefits set forth in this Letter Agreement shall be governed by
California law without reference to principles of conflicts of laws, may not be reduced without
your prior written consent and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of (a) your heirs,
executors, and legal representatives upon your death and (b) any person or entity which at any
time, whether by purchase, merger, or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires all or a majority
of the assets, business, capital stock, or voting stock of Nektar. Any such person or entity shall
be deemed substituted for Nektar under this Letter Agreement for all purposes.

The compensation and benefits payable hereunder are intended to either be exempt from or
comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”),
so as not to subject you to payment of any additional tax, penalty or interest imposed under
Section 409A. The provisions of this offer letter shall be construed and interpreted to avoid the
imputation of any such additional tax, penalty or interest under Section 409A yet preserve (to the
nearest extent reasonably possible) the intended benefit payable you.

procedures and timelines within [***] prior to the first PHASE 1 CLINICAL TRIAL of such
POTENTIAL PRODUCT, (i) the matter shall first be referred to the DEVELOPMENT AND
PRODUCTION COMMITTEE for resolution in accordance with Section 3.3; (ii) if within
[***] the DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION COMMITTEE is unable to reach resolution, either
PARTY may elect to have a mutually acceptable laboratory or consultant establish such
procedures and time lines, whose determination thereof shall be binding; and (iii) if
within [***] the PARTIES are unable to select a mutually acceptable laboratory or
consultant, each PARTY shall select an independent consultant within [***] and such

accepted the applicable shipment of SELECTED REAGENT as meeting SPECIFICATIONS and
any other quality requirements which were verified using the agreed-upon evaluation
procedures set forth in the QUALITY AGREEMENT, which shall thereafter conclusively
be presumed to meet the SPECIFICATIONS and such quality requirements. If NEKTAR AL
receives such NOTICE OF NON-CONFORMITY within such [***] period, then NEKTAR AL will
evaluate BAXTER’S NOTICE OF NON-CONFORMITY within [***] of receipt thereof and
provide a written response (“RESPONSE TO NOTICE OF NON-CONFORMITY”). If NEKTAR AL
fails to provide to BAXTER a RESPONSE TO NOTICE OF NON-CONFORMITY within the [***]
period, then NEKTAR AL shall be deemed to have accepted BAXTER’S conclusion that the
SELECTED REAGENTS are non-conforming and waived its right to object to such
conclusion.

If NEKTAR AL disagrees with such NOTICE OF NON-CONFORMITY, then (i) the matter
shall first be referred to the DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION COMMITTEE for resolution
in accordance with Section 3.3; (ii) if the DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION COMMITTEE is
not able to agree on such matter within [***], SELECTED REAGENT samples or
documentation will be supplied to a mutually acceptable laboratory or consultant
for resolution, whose determination of conformity or non-conformity shall be
binding; provided that in the event the PARTIES do not select a mutually acceptable
laboratory or consultant
within [***], each PARTY shall select an independent testing consultant within
[***] and such consultants shall select a mutually acceptable or laboratory within
[***] thereof. If the SELECTED REAGENT is determined to be non-conforming, then
[***]. If the SELECTED REAGENT is determined to be conforming, then [***].

QUALITY AGREEMENT, is determined to be NONCONFORMING REAGENT. [***], BAXTER shall

the applicable SELECTED REAGENT established pursuant to Section 8.1 and the
applicable QUALITY AGREEMENT and for which BAXTER gave to NEKTAR AL a NOTICE
OF NONCONFORMITY in accordance with the requirements of Section 8.2, [***].
For clarity, if BAXTER does not comply with the procedures set forth in
Section 8.2 with respect to SELECTED REAGENT and BAXTER could
reasonably have detected that such SELECTED REAGENT was NONCONFORMING
REAGENT through testing in accordance with the agreed-upon evaluation
procedures for the applicable SELECTED REAGENT established pursuant to
Section 8.1 and the applicable QUALITY AGREEMENT, or if BAXTER otherwise

REAGENT or (b) SELECTED REAGENT that is NONCONFORMING REAGENT because of
breaches of the warranties set forth in Sections 6.3(ii) or (iii) that could

	 	9.1	 	MILESTONE PAYMENTS. BAXTER shall pay to NEKTAR AL MILESTONES in

the event triggering such MILESTONE. All milestones payments shall not be advance
payments against any royalties or other payments due and payable hereunder, but
shall be in addition to any royalty or other payments due under this AGREEMENT. In
the event BAXTER [***].

	 	(i)	 	SKIPPED MILESTONE EVENT. If, for whatever reason, a
particular milestone activity or event for which a MILESTONE is due is not
carried out, then in such case the MILESTONE that NEKTAR AL would have received

COMMERCIAL PRODUCT had the particular milestone event been carried out shall be
paid [***]. For example, [***].

	 
	 	(ii)	 	[***].

	 	(iv)	 	MARKETING AUTHORIZATION OUTSIDE OF THE FIELD. For
clarity BAXTER shall have no rights whatsoever with respect to the development,
manufacture, use, sale or importation of POTENTIAL PRODUCTS or COMMERCIAL
PRODUCTS outside of the FIELD. For clarification, BAXTER [***]. If BAXTER
desires to develop, manufacture, have manufactured, use, sell, offer for sale
or import any POTENTIAL
PRODUCT or COMMERCIAL PRODUCT outside of the
FIELD, including without limitation obtaining MARKETING AUTHORIZATION for the
addition of label claims that are outside of the FIELD for then-existing
COMMERCIAL PRODUCT(S), BAXTER shall discuss the matter with NEKTAR AL. If
NEKTAR AL (in its discretion) wishes to grant such additional rights to
BAXTER, the PARTIES shall negotiate in good faith the terms and conditions
(which may include, among other things, the payment of additional milestone
payments) applicable to the grant of such rights.

	 	9.1.1	 	[***] MILESTONES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND
COMMERCIALIZATION OF ONE COMMERCIAL PRODUCT FOR THE TREATMENT OF
HEMOPHILIA A. The MILESTONES that are provided for under Schedule II shall
apply with respect to the first POTENTIAL PRODUCT being developed for the
treatment of Hemophilia A that achieves each such MILESTONE, and the first
COMMERCIAL PRODUCT receiving MARKETING AUTHORIZATION having a label indication
for the treatment of Hemophilia A. Such POTENTIAL PRODUCT and COMMERCIAL
PRODUCT may be the same, but in the event they are not, [***].

	 
	 	 	 	For clarity, BAXTER or its AFFILIATE or SUBLICENSEE, at BAXTER’S discretion,

to the MILESTONES provided for in Schedule II, for each additional POTENTIAL
PRODUCT with a label indication for the treatment of Hemophilia A, for which
BAXTER or its AFFILIATE or SUBLICENSEE receives a new MARKETING AUTHORIZATION
in the United States and/or European Union. With respect to any additional
POTENTIAL PRODUCTS [***]. The amounts of such payments will be negotiated by
the PARTIES in good faith and agreed upon in a formal written amendment hereto
[***], provided that the additional milestone payments for each such additional
POTENTIAL PRODUCT [***].

milestone payments in addition to the MILESTONES that are set forth in
Schedule II, which additional milestone payments will be negotiated by the
PARTIES in good faith and agreed upon in a formal written amendment hereto.
The additional milestone payments for such POTENTIAL PRODUCT to treat [***]

PRODUCT(S) within the FIELD, if BAXTER or its AFFILIATE or SUBLICENSEE seeks to
obtain [***] are for a then-existing COMMERCIAL PRODUCT with a label indication
for the [***], then in such case, additional milestone payments shall be due.
The provisions of Section 9.1.2, as they pertain to [***], shall apply such
that clinical development of COMMERCIAL PRODUCT(S) associated with obtaining
label claims for the treatment of [***] shall be deemed to constitute
development of an additional POTENTIAL PRODUCT.

	 	9.2	 	ROYALTIES. BAXTER shall pay NEKTAR AL royalties in an amount equal to
the product of the ROYALTY RATE and the annual aggregate NET SALES of all COMMERCIAL
PRODUCTS on a COMMERCIAL PRODUCT-by-COMMERCIAL PRODUCT and country-by-country basis for
an initial period of ten (10) years from the FIRST COMMERCIAL SALE of the applicable
COMMERCIAL PRODUCT in the applicable country (the “INITIAL ROYALTY TERM”). Royalties
shall be paid during the INITIAL ROYALTY TERM in each and every country where
COMMERCIAL PRODUCT is sold, without regard to whether a VALID PATENT CLAIM covers the
manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or import of the COMMERCIAL PRODUCT or the
SELECTED REAGENT contained in such COMMERCIAL PRODUCT.

	 	9.2.1	 	After the expiration of the INITIAL ROYALTY TERM for a
particular COMMERCIAL PRODUCT in a particular country, BAXTER shall
continue to pay such royalties on NET SALES of such COMMERCIAL PRODUCT on a
world-wide basis provided that there exists, in each of the following major
markets in which MARKETING AUTHORIZATION is received for such COMMERCIAL
PRODUCT, a VALID PATENT CLAIM which would be infringed by the making, using,
having made, offering for sale, sale or importation of such COMMERCIAL
PRODUCT or the SELECTED REAGENT contained in such COMMERCIAL PRODUCT: [***]
(collectively, “MAJOR MARKETS”). Such royalties shall be paid on NET SALES
of COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS in those countries where the manufacture, import,
use, offer for sale or sale of the applicable COMMERCIAL PRODUCT or the
SELECTED REAGENT contained in such COMMERCIAL PRODUCT is not covered by a
VALID PATENT CLAIM, provided that the manufacture, import, use, offer for
sale or sale of such applicable COMMERCIAL PRODUCT or such SELECTED REAGENT
is covered by a VALID PATENT CLAIM in each of the MAJOR MARKETS. [***].

	 	9.2.2	 	If, at the time of sale of a COMMERCIAL PRODUCT in a
particular country after the expiration of the INITIAL ROYALTY TERM in such
country, there is no VALID PATENT CLAIM covering the manufacture, use, import,
offer for sale or sale of such COMMERCIAL PRODUCT or the SELECTED REAGENT
contained in such COMMERCIAL PRODUCT in each of the MAJOR MARKETS, then BAXTER
shall only owe royalties with respect to NET SALES of COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS in
those countries in which a VALID PATENT CLAIM covers the manufacture, use,
import, offer for sale or sale of such COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS or the SELECTED
REAGENT contained in such COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS in such countries. For
example, after the expiration of the INITIAL ROYALTY TERM [***].

	 	9.2.3	 	The PARTIES agree that a VALID PATENT CLAIM exists, for
purposes of determining whether royalties are payable after the expiration of
the INITIAL ROYALTY TERM, even if components of a COMMERCIAL PRODUCT are sold
separately as more fully described in Section 9.3 below, and the only VALID
PATENT CLAIM covers the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or import of
only one component of such COMMERCIAL PRODUCT ([***]).

	 
	 	9.2.4	 	BAXTER shall [***].

	 	9.2.5	 	Neither PARTY shall contest the accuracy of any royalty,
including the overpayment or underpayment of any royalty, after [***] from the
end of the calendar year in which such royalties are due and payable. For
clarity, prior to the expiration of such [***] period, BAXTER may allege the
overpayment of such royalties (and if determined that overpayment was made, be
entitled to a refund payable within [***] of NEKTAR AL’S receipt of an invoice
for the overpaid amount) and NEKTAR AL may allege the underpayment of
royalties (and if determined that underpayment was made, be entitled to such
shortfall). Thereafter, the accuracy of the payment of such royalties shall be
deemed conclusively binding.

	 	9.3	 	SEPARATE COMPONENTS. If components of a COMMERCIAL PRODUCT are sold
separately, the NET SALES of such COMMERCIAL PRODUCT shall be calculated as if the
components of the COMMERCIAL PRODUCT were not sold separately; provided that no
provision of this AGREEMENT shall be construed as [***]. For example, if a COMMERCIAL
PRODUCT consists of [***] which is intended to be used with and to improve the
half-life of FACTOR VIII, the NET
SALES of such COMMERCIAL PRODUCT shall be deemed to include the amount invoiced
([***]) by BAXTER, its SUBLICENSEES and/or their respective AFFILIATES for the
FACTOR VIII with which such product is intended to be used and the [***], it being
understood and agreed that, for purposes of calculating royalties, the [***] and
the FACTOR VIII are the COMMERCIAL PRODUCT.

	 	9.4	 	COMMERCIAL DILIGENCE. If, during the TERM, BAXTER sells or markets
another FACTOR VIII extended half-life product using a non-PEGYLATION technology which
is used to treat Hemophilia A, then BAXTER must meet the COMMERCIAL DILIGENCE
THRESHOLD, as set forth below. No later than [***] after the FIRST COMMERCIAL SALE of a
COMMERCIAL PRODUCT in each MAJOR MARKET in which MARKETING AUTHORIZATION has been
obtained, the sales of all COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS in the aggregate shall constitute at
least [***] of the total sales of all FACTOR VIII extended half-life products used to
treat Hemophilia A in such MAJOR MARKET (the “COMMERCIAL DILIGENCE THRESHOLD”). If
sales of such COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS, in the aggregate, do not meet the COMMERCIAL
DILIGENCE THRESHOLD in such MAJOR MARKET within such timeframe, then [***]. In the
event [***], the ROYALTY RATE to which NEKTAR AL is otherwise entitled shall be [***].
For example, [***]. The terms of any such [***] shall be negotiated in good faith by
the PARTIES, and shall include minimum [***] and shall provide that [***].

SALE of a COMMERCIAL PRODUCT, BAXTER shall furnish to NEKTAR AL a [***] showing, on a
country-by-country basis, according to the volume of units of such COMMERCIAL
PRODUCT sold in each such country (by SKU) during the reporting period: (a) the
gross invoiced sales of the COMMERCIAL PRODUCT sold in each country during the
reporting period, and the amounts deducted therefrom to determine NET SALES from
such gross invoiced sales detailed in accordance with those deductions provided for
in the definition of NET SALES; (b) the royalties payable in DOLLARS, if any, which
shall have accrued hereunder based upon the NET SALES of the COMMERCIAL PRODUCT; (c)
the withholding taxes, if any, required by LAW to be deducted in respect of such
sales; and (d) the date of the FIRST COMMERCIAL SALE of the COMMERCIAL PRODUCT in
each country during the reporting period. With respect to sales of COMMERCIAL
PRODUCT invoiced in DOLLARS, the gross invoiced sales, NET SALES, and royalties
payable shall be expressed in the report in DOLLARS. With respect to sales of
COMMERCIAL PRODUCT invoiced in a currency other than DOLLARS, the gross invoiced
sales, NET SALES and royalties payable shall be expressed in the report provided
hereunder in the domestic currency of the PARTY making the sale as well as in the
DOLLAR equivalent of the royalty payable and the exchange rate used in determining
the amount of DOLLARS. The DOLLAR equivalent shall be calculated using the average
exchange rate (local currency per DOLLAR) published in The Wall Street Journal,
Western Edition, under the heading “Currency Trading,” on the last business day of
each month during the applicable calendar quarter. Reports shall be due hereunder on
the forty-fifth (45th) day following the close of each calendar quarter.

PRODUCT in such country. In such event, BAXTER [***]. For example, [***] as a result

REAGENT, POTENTIAL PRODUCT or COMMERCIAL PRODUCT, and shall be in addition to
BAXTER’s obligations under Sections 15.1.2 and 17.1. In no event shall the royalties

report. During such period, either PARTY is free to provide the accounting firm
with additional information, which shall be considered by the accounting firm. The
accounting firm may ask for additional information and/or perform additional
procedures it deems appropriate to ensure the accuracy of its final report. Copies
of the accounting firm’s final report will be issued to both PARTIES.

If such accounting firm concludes that additional amounts were owed to the
requesting PARTY during such period, or if the requesting PARTY overpaid for any
rates or fees for products, the other PARTY shall pay such additional amounts or
credit such overpayment ([***]) within [***] of the date the requesting PARTY
delivers to the other PARTY such accounting firm’s written report so concluding.
The fees charged by such accounting firm shall be paid by the requesting PARTY;
provided however, that if the audit discloses that the amounts payable by the
audited PARTY for the audited period are more than [***] of the amounts actually
paid for such period, or if the audit discloses that the audited PARTY has
