ENZON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes To Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(1) Organization and Basis of Presentation
- -------------------------------------------
The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been
prepared from the books and records of Enzon, Inc. and subsidiaries in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
only of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the year.
(2) Net Loss Per Common Share
- ------------------------------
Net loss per common share is based on the net loss for the relevant
period, adjusted for cumulative undeclared preferred stock dividends of $109,000
for the six months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, and $55,000 for each of the
three months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, divided by the weighted average
number of shares issued and outstanding during the period. Stock options,
warrants and common stock issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock are
not reflected as their effect would be antidilutive for both primary and fully
diluted earnings per share computations.
(3) Inventories
- ----------------
The composition of inventories at December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1996
is as follows:
December 31, June 30,
1996 1996
---- ----
Raw materials $375,000 $206,000
Work in process 298,000 383,000
Finished goods 147,000 396,000
------- -------
$820,000 $985,000
======== ========
(4) Cash Flow Information
- --------------------------
The Company considers all highly liquid securities with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash payments for
interest were approximately $12,000 and $11,000 for the six months ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. There were no income tax payments made
for the six months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.
During the six months ended December 31, 1996, 24,260 shares of Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 1,287,213 shares of Common
Stock. A cash payment of $2.00 was made for fractional shares related to the
conversions. During the six months ended December 31, 1995, the Company issued
150,000 five-year warrants to purchase the Company's common stock at $2.50 per
share as part of the commission due to the real estate broker in connection with
the termination of the lease at 40 Kingsbridge Road. These transactions are
non-cash financing activities.

(5) Significant Agreements
- --------------------------
During October 1996, the Company entered into a marketing agreement
with Medac GmbH ("MEDAC") to sell ONCASPAR(R) in Europe and Russia. MEDAC will
purchase ONCASPAR from Enzon at a set price which will increase over the term of
the agreement. The agreement also contains certain minimum annual purchase
requirements.
(6) Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan
- ------------------------------------
During the six months ended December 31, 1996, the Company issued
620,000 stock options at an average exercise price of $2.80 per share under the
Company's Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, as amended, of which 150,000 were
granted to executive officers of the Company. None of the options granted during
the period are exercisable as of December 31, 1996. All options were granted
with exercise prices that equaled or exceeded the fair market value of the
underlying stock on the date of grant.
(7) Independent Directors' Stock Plan
- --------------------------------------
On December 3, 1996, the stockholders voted to approve the Company's
Independent Directors' Stock Plan, which provides for compensation in the form
of quarterly grants of Enzon common stock to independent directors serving on
the Company's Board of Directors. Each independent director is granted shares of
Enzon common stock equivalent to $2,500 per quarter plus $500 per Board of
Director's meeting attended. The number of shares issued is based on the fair
market value of Enzon common stock on the last trading day of the applicable
quarter. During the quarter ended December 31, 1996, the Company issued 12,650
shares of Enzon common stock to non-executive directors, pursuant to the
Independent Directors' Stock Plan. The shares issued represent payment for
services rendered for the period from January 16, 1996 through September 30,
1996.
(8) Stockholders' Equity
- -------------------------
During the six months ended December 31, 1996, 24,260 shares of Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 1,287,213 shares of Common
Stock.
(9) Other Income
- ----------------
During the quarter ended December 31, 1995, the Company recognized as
other income approximately $1,313,000, representing the unused portion of an
advance received under a development and license agreement with Sanofi Winthrop,
Inc. ("Sanofi"). During October 1995, the Company learned that Sanofi intended
to cease development of PEG-SOD (Dismutec(TM)) due to the product's failure to
show a statistically significant difference between the treatment group and the
control group in a pivotal Phase III trial. Due, in part, to this product
failure, the Company believes it has no further obligations under its agreement
with Sanofi with respect to the $1,313,000 advance and therefore, the Company
reversed the amount due Sanofi previously recorded as a current liability.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Information contained herein contains "forward-looking statements" which can be
identified by the use of forward- looking terminology such as "believes,"
"expects," "may," "will," "should," or "anticipates" or the negative thereof or
other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of
strategy. No assurance can be given that the future results covered by the
forward-looking statements will be achieved. The matters set forth in Exhibit
99.0 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1996, which is incorporated herein by reference, constitute cautionary
statements identifying important factors with respect to such forward- looking
statements, including certain risks and uncertainties, that could cause actual
results to vary materially from the future results indicated in such
forward-looking statements. Other factors could also cause actual results to
vary materially from the future results indicated in such forward-looking
statements.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Three months ended December 31, 1996 vs. Three months ended December 31, 1995
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 1996 increased by 7%
to $3,559,000 as compared to $3,330,000 for the same period in 1995. The
components of revenues are sales and contract revenues. Sales increased by 40%
to $3,554,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1996 as compared to
$2,542,000 for the same period in the prior year, due to increased revenues from
ONCASPAR, which is marketed in the U.S. by Rhone-Poulenc Rorer Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. ("RPR"), and increased ADAGEN(R) sales resulting from an increase in
patients receiving ADAGEN. ADAGEN sales for the three months ended December 31,
1996 and 1995 were $2,328,000 and $2,039,000, respectively. ONCASPAR revenues
are comprised of manufacturing revenues as well as royalties on sales of
ONCASPAR by RPR. ONCASPAR revenues increased due to an increase in sales of
ONCASPAR by RPR as well as an increase in the royalty rate to 23.5%, as compared
to 10.0% during the prior year. Contract revenue for the three months ended
December 31, 1996 decreased to $5,000, as compared to $788,000 for the same
period in 1995. The decrease was principally due to a one-time payment received
during the prior year in connection with the signing of a worldwide
non-exclusive licensing agreement with RPR for the Company's Single-Chain
Antigen-Binding ("SCA(R)") protein technology. During the three months ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company had export sales of $639,000 and
$521,000, respectively. Sales in Europe were $529,000 and $460,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 28% for the
three months ended December 31, 1996 as compared to 48% for the same period in
1995. The decrease was due primarily to a cash payment in the prior year in lieu
of satisfying the minimum purchase requirements under the Company's long-term
supply agreement for a raw material used in the production of ONCASPAR and the
write-off of excess ONCASPAR raw material during the prior year, as well as a
decrease in the charge recorded for the three months ended December 31, 1996 for
idle capacity at the Company's manufacturing facility. While it is possible that
the Company may incur similar losses on its remaining purchase commitments under
the supply agreement, the Company does not consider such losses probable, nor
can the amount of any loss which may be incurred in the future presently be
estimated due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, potential
increased demand for ONCASPAR from RPR, expansion into additional markets
outside the U.S. and the possibility that the Company could renegotiate the
level of required purchases. If the Company does not achieve increases in sales
of ONCASPAR beyond current levels or cannot renegotiate its commitment, a loss
would be incurred on the remaining purchase commitment. During the quarter ended
December 31, 1996, the Company utilized approximately 31% of its manufacturing
capacity for the production of its approved products.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses for the three months
ended December 31, 1996 decreased by 17% to $1,980,000 from $2,391,000 for the
same period in 1995. This decrease was primarily due to reductions in personnel,
principally in the clinical and scientific administration areas, and related
costs, such as payroll taxes and benefits, totaling approximately $364,000 and
other cost containment measures implemented by the Company as part of a
continued focus on key development programs.

<PAGE>
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 1996 remained
relatively consistent at $1,454,000, as compared to $1,404,000 for the same
period in 1995.
Other Income/Expense. Other income/expense decreased by $1,238,000 to $158,000
for the three months ended December 31, 1996 as compared to $1,396,000 for the
same period last year. The decrease was due principally to the one-time
recognition as other income of approximately $1,313,000 during the quarter ended
December 31, 1995, representing the unused portion of an advance received under
a development and license agreement with Sanofi Winthrop, Inc. ("Sanofi").
Six months ended December 31, 1996 vs. Six months ended December 31, 1995
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Revenues. Revenues for the six months ended December 31, 1996 increased by 18%
to $7,374,000 as compared to $6,256,000 for the same period in 1995. The
components of revenues are sales and contract revenues. Sales increased by 17%
to $6,275,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1996 as compared to
$5,351,000 for the same period in the prior year, due to increased ONCASPAR
revenues from RPR and an increase in ADAGEN sales resulting from an increase in
patients receiving ADAGEN. ONCASPAR revenues are comprised of manufacturing
revenues as well as royalties on sales of ONCASPAR by RPR. ONCASPAR revenues
increased due to an increase in sales of ONCASPAR by RPR as well as an increase
in the royalty rate to 23.5%, as compared to 10.0% during the prior year. ADAGEN
sales for the six months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 were $4,453,000 and
$4,214,000, respectively. Contract revenue for the six months ended December 31,
1996 increased by 21% to $1,099,000, as compared to $905,000 for the same period
in 1995. The increase was due to a one-time $1,000,000 payment, received during
the six months ended December 31, 1996, from Schering Corporation ("Schering")
related to the transfer of know-how for the manufacturing of PEG-Intron A under
the Company's June 1995 amended Schering agreement. Contract revenues for the
prior year's period reflected a one-time payment received in connection with a
worldwide non-exclusive license for the Company's SCA protein technology signed
with RPR. During the six months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company
had export sales of $1,271,000 and $1,162,000, respectively. Sales in Europe
were $1,091,000 and $1,014,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 32% for the
six months ended December 31, 1996 as compared to 41% for the same period in
1995. The decrease was due primarily to a cash payment in the prior year in lieu
of satisfying the minimum purchase requirements under the Company's long-term
supply agreement for a raw material used in the production of ONCASPAR and the
write-off of excess ONCASPAR raw material, as well as a decrease in the charge
recorded for the six months ended December 31, 1996 for idle capacity at the
Company's manufacturing facility. While it is possible that the Company may
incur similar losses on its remaining purchase commitments under the supply
agreement, the Company does not consider such losses probable, nor can the
amount of any loss which may be incurred in the future presently be estimated
due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, potential increased
demand for ONCASPAR from RPR, expansion into additional markets outside the U.S.
and the possibility that the Company could renegotiate the level of required
purchases. If the Company does not achieve increases in sales of ONCASPAR beyond
current levels or cannot renegotiate its commitment, a loss would be incurred on
the remaining purchase commitment.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses for the six months
ended December 31, 1996 decreased by 13% to $4,410,000 from $5,081,000 for the
same period in 1995. This decrease was primarily due to reductions in personnel,
principally in the clinical and scientific administration areas, and related
costs, such as payroll taxes, totaling approximately $624,000 and other cost
containment measures implemented by the Company as part of a continued focus on
key development programs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 1996 remained
relatively consistent at $2,730,000, as compared to $2,676,000 for the same
period in 1995.
Other Income/Expense. Other income/expense decreased by $1,178,000 to $316,000
for the six months ended December 31, 1996 as compared to $1,494,000 for the
same period last year. The decrease was due principally to the one-time
recognition as other income of approximately $1,313,000 during the quarter ended
December 31, 1995, representing the unused portion of an advance received under
a development and license agreement with Sanofi.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Enzon had $10,352,000 in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31,
1996. The Company invests its excess cash in a portfolio of high-grade
marketable securities and United States government-backed securities.
The Company's cash reserves as of December 31, 1996 decreased by
$2,315,000 from June 30, 1996. The decrease in cash reserves was caused by the
funding of operations and capital expenditures of $603,000, related to the
upgrade of the Company's pilot manufacturing facility for PEG-hemoglobin.
The Company's exclusive U.S. marketing rights license with RPR for
ONCASPAR provides for a payment of $3,500,000 in advance royalties which was
received in January 1995. Under the agreement, as amended, royalties will be
offset against a credit of $5,970,000, which represents the royalty advance plus
reimbursement of certain amounts due RPR under the previous agreement and
interest expense, before cash payments will be made under the agreement. The
royalty advance is shown as a long term liability with the corresponding current
portion included in accrued expenses on the consolidated condensed balance
sheets and will be reduced as royalties are recognized under the agreement.
Through December 31, 1996, an aggregate of $1,969,000 in royalties payable by
RPR have been offset against the original credit.
As of December 31, 1996, 940,808 shares of Series A Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") have been converted
into 3,093,411 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock").
Accrued dividends on the converted Series A Preferred Stock in the aggregate of
$1,792,000 were settled by the issuance of 232,383 shares of Common Stock. The
Company does not presently intend to pay cash dividends on the Series A
Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 1996, there were $1,476,000 of accrued and
unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock. These dividends are payable in
cash or Common Stock at the Company's option and accrue on the outstanding
Series A Preferred Stock at the rate of $218,000 per year. During the quarter
ended December 31, 1996, 24,260 shares of the Company's Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock were converted into 1,287,213 shares of Common Stock. As of
December 31, 1996, there had been no conversion of the Company's Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock. Neither the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
nor the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock carry stated dividends.
To date, the Company's sources of cash have been the proceeds from the
sale of its stock through public and private placements, sales of ADAGEN, sales
of ONCASPAR, sales of its products for research purposes, contract research and
development fees, technology transfer and license fees and royalty advances. The
Company's current sources of liquidity are its cash, cash equivalents and
interest earned on such cash reserves, sales of ADAGEN, sales of ONCASPAR, sales
of its products for research purposes and license fees. Management believes that
its current sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash
requirements, based on current spending levels, for approximately the next two
years.
Upon exhaustion of the Company's current cash reserves, the Company's
continued operations will depend on its ability to realize significant revenues
from the commercial sale of its products, raise additional funds through equity
or debt financing, or obtain significant licensing, technology transfer or
contract research and development fees. There can be no assurance that these
sales, financings or revenue generating activities will be successful.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
- -------------------------
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
- -------------------------
On January 6, 1997, Enzon was served with a complaint by LBC Capital
Resources, Inc. ("LBC"), that was filed on December 17, 1996, in the United
States District Court for the District of New Jersey (Civil Action No.
96-5919(JCL) asserting that under the May 2, 1995, letter agreement ("Letter
Agreement") between Enzon and LBC, LBC was entitled to a commission comprised of
$500,000 in cash and warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Enzon common stock
at an exercise price of $2.50 per share in connection with the 1996 financing
transactions (collectively, the "Financings") the Company entered into with
affiliates of Genesee Advisors ("Genesee"). LBC has also asserted that it is
entitled to an additional fee of $175,000 in cash and warrants to purchase
250,000 of Enzon common stock when and if Genesee exercises any of the warrants
obtained pursuant to the Financings. LBC has claimed $3 million in compensatory
damages, plus punitive damages, counsel fees and costs for the alleged breach of
the Letter Agreement. The Company believes that no such commission was due under
the Letter Agreement and denies any liability under the Letter Agreement. The
Company intends to defend this lawsuit vigorously.
Item 2. Changes in Securities
- -----------------------------
During the period from November 19, 1996 through December 31, 1996, the

Convertible Preferred Stock into an aggregate of 1,287,213 shares of Common
Stock at per share conversion prices ranging from $1.83 to $1.96. The conversion
prices were equal to 80% of the average of the closing bid prices of the Common
Stock for the five consecutive trading days ending one trading day prior to the
date of such conversion. The Company relied upon the exemption from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, contained in Section 3(a)(9)
thereof with respect to the issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon
conversion of the Series B Convertible Stock.

AMENDMENT TO REVISED LICENSE AGREEMENT
Under this Amendment, effective March 25, 1994 (the "Amendment
Effective Date"), Research Corporation Technologies, Inc., a Delaware nonprofit
corporation, with offices at 101 N. Wilmot Road, Suite 600, Tucson, AZ, ("RCT"
or "LICENSOR"), and Enzon, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with offices at 40
Kingsbridge Road, Piscataway, New Jersey, ("Enzon" or "LICENSEE") agree as
follows:
ARTICLE I
BACKGROUND
SECTION 1.1. RCT and Enzon are parties to that certain license
agreement made effective August 25, 1985, and subsequently amended (the "Revised
License Agreement") under which Enzon was granted the right to make, use and
sell certain complexes of polyethylene glycol ("PEG") and polypeptides of
interest under the "PATENT RIGHTS," as such term is defined in the Revised
License Agreement, and which PATENT RIGHTS include United States Patent No.
4,179,337, issued December 18, 1979, (the "U.S. PEG Patent"). Enzon, the Eastman
Kodak Company ("Kodak") and Sterling Winthrop Inc., formerly Sterling Drug,
Inc., ("Sterling") are parties to that certain agreement made effective June 19,
1989 concerning the development of, inter alia, complexes of PEG and superoxide
dismutase ("SOD") and the granting of a sublicense to Sterling under the Revised
License Agreement to make, use and sell PEG-SOD (the "Sterling Agreement").
Under the Sterling Agreement, Enzon, Kodak, and Sterling have obligations to
cooperate with RCT in obtaining any patent extension of the U.S. PEG Patent that
may be obtained by RCT and that RCT may desire to obtain.
SECTION 1.2. Section 156 of Title 35 of the United States Code entitles
RCT to seek extension of the term of a United States patent for one product
covered by such patent.
SECTION 1.3. Enzon desires that RCT agree to seek extension of the term
of the U.S. PEG Patent, to the extent such extension becomes available for
PEG-SOD and that RCT agree not to seek any other extension of the U.S. PEG
Patent based on any other drug product.
RCT is willing to so agree under the following terms and conditions.
SECTION 1.4. RCT desires to confirm Enzon's continuing obligation to
pay earned royalties during the term of any extension of the PATENT RIGHTS.
ARTICLE II
AMENDMENT
SECTION 2.1. Amendment to Article 7(a) of the Revised License
Agreement. Article 7(a) of the Revise license Agreement is hereby amended by
adding the following paragraph after the second paragraph of Article 7(a):
<PAGE>
This paragraph shall apply if the term of United States Patent
4,179,337, issued December 18, 1979, (the "U.S. PEG Patent") is
extended beyond December 18, 1996 pursuant to Section 156 of Title 35
of the United States Code and the rights derived from such extension
apply to LICENSED PRODUCTS in Field C (the "PEG-SOD Extension").
LICENSEE and LICENSOR agree and affirm that, during the period of the
PEG-SOD Extension, if any, the rights and duties of the parties under
this License Agreement, and the terms of this License Agreement, as
they pertain to LICENSED PRODUCTS in Field C ("PEG-SOD Products"),
shall continue in full force and effect unchanged, including without
limitation LICENSEE's obligations to pay royalties for the manufacture,
USE or SALE of any PEG-SOD Product, throughout the term of the PEG- SOD
Extension, and the parties' obligations under Articles 9 and 16(j).
Nothing in any agreement or this Amendment shall affect, change or
diminish LICENSEE's or any SUBLICENSEE's obligation to pay earned
royalties to LICENSOR under this License Agreement through the
expiration of the PEG-SOD Extension, or any party's obligations under
Articles 9 or 16(j).
SECTION 2.2. Amendment to Add Article 17 to the Revised License
Agreement. The Revised License Agreement is hereby amended by adding the
following new Article 17 after Article 16:
17. The PEG-SOD Extension.
(a) Obligations of LICENSOR. Unless LICENSOR and LICENSEE
otherwise mutually agree, LICENSOR agrees to seek extension of the term
of U.S. PEG Patent, to the extent such extension is available, for
PEG-SOD and not to take any action or fail to take any action that
would preclude or delay such extension, or directly place the
availability of such extension in jeopardy. So long as the law of the
United States pertaining to extension of patents is understood or
interpreted to permit only one extension per patent under the
provisions of Section 156 of Title 35 of the United States Code (and
other corresponding sections of the law of the United States pertaining
to patent extension), LICENSOR agrees not to seek any extension of the
term of the U.S. PEG Patent for any other product covered by the U.S.
PEG Patent under the provisions of Section 156 of Title 35 of the
United States Code. The foregoing in no way prohibits LICENSOR from
seeking additional extensions by way of legislative or judicial means
and in no way prohibits LICENSOR from seeking other extensions under
Section 156 of Title 35 of the United States Code if such provision is
amended (or other provisions are added to the law of the United States)
to provide for multiple extensions or is interpreted in a final ruling
by a court of competent jurisdiction (from which no appeal can be or is
taken) to permit multiple extensions.
(b) Notice of PLA Filing for FDA Approval. If, on or before
December 18, 1996, LICENSEE or any SUBLICENSEE files with the FDA an
NDA or a Product License Application ("PLA") seeking FDA Approval to
market and sell a PEG-SOD Product, LICENSEE shall, immediately after it
is aware of such filing, notify
- 2 -
<PAGE>
LICENSOR in writing of such filing. If LICENSOR becomes aware of such
filing, LICENSOR shall immediately notify LICENSEE in writing of such
filing. If neither LICENSEE nor LICENSOR has received notice by June
19, 1996 that the FDA has approved such NDA or PLA, the parties shall
confirm that fact in writing between themselves, the earliest dated
confirmation being hereafter referred to as the "Initiating Notice". If
LICENSEE or any SUBLICENSEE files with the FDA an NDA or PLA seeking
FDA approval to market and sell a PEG-SOD Product and such NDA or PLA
is approved by the FDA on or before December 18, 1996, LICENSEE shall,
immediately after it is aware of such approval, give LICENSOR written
notice (the "Initiating Notice") of such approval. If LICENSOR becomes
aware of such approval, LICENSOR shall immediately give LICENSEE
written notice (the "Initiating Notice") of such approval.
(c) Responsibility for PEG-SOD Extension; Periodic Reports. In
connection with filing for interim PEG-SOD Extensions (before FDA
approval of the PEG-SOD Product) and the final PEG-SOD Extension (after
such FDA approval) and any other PEG-SOD Extensions as may become
available for any reason, within ten days after LICENSOR's receipt or
issuance of any Initiating Notice, LICENSOR shall either: (i) file a
complete application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office
("USPTO") seeking the then-available PEG-SOD Extension; or (ii) subject
to Article 17(d) below, grant to LICENSEE the power of attorney,
substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, to seek the
then-available PEG-SOD Extension (and all subsequent PEG-SOD Extensions
available) on behalf of LICENSOR. Concurrently with the execution and
delivery of such power of attorney, LICENSOR shall execute and deliver
to LICENSEE the Right of Assignee, substantially in the form attached
to the power of attorney of Exhibit A. Every two weeks after the date
of each such Initiating Notice, through the date on which the PEG-SOD
Extension corresponding to such Initiating Notice is obtained or
finally denied, the party undertaking to obtain the PEG- SOD Extension
(the "Responsible Party") shall report to the other party in writing
regarding: (A) the status of the application; (B) the Responsible
Party's efforts to complete and file the application (including the
degree of cooperation received from any SUBLICENSEE, if such is
necessary); (C) any requests or inquiries received from the USPTO or
the FDA, and the Responsible Party's responses to such request or
inquiries; and (D) if applicable, the status of any administrative or
judicial proceedings concerning the PEG-SOD Extension, its preparation,
filing or prosecution. Although an extension may be in effect at the
time of a particular Initiating Notice, it is the intention of the
parties that all actions possible are taken to maximize and keep in
effect any PEG-SOD Extension.
(d) Best Effort Requirement. The Responsible Party covenants and
agrees to exercise its best efforts to obtain each such extension
until each PEG-SOD Extension is either obtained or it is finally
denied by a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can
be taken. The other party shall fully and promptly cooperate with the
Responsible Party. "Best efforts" shall include, without limitation:
(i) timely preparing
- 3 -
<PAGE>
and filing a complete application (subject to any delays that may arise
because a SUBLICENSEE does not cooperate with such preparation and
filing but further subject to the Responsible Party's obligation below
to pursue legal proceedings to cause any such SUBLICENSEE to provide
such information); (ii) timely and fully responding to any request by
the USPTO regarding the application; (iii) completely exhausting any
administrative proceedings, avenues or remedies that may be necessary
to obtain such extension; (iv) timely bringing any suit, appeal or
other legal proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction to obtain
such extension or to obtain the information from any SUBLICENSEE
necessary to complete the application for the PEG-SOD Extension and to
cause such application to be timely filed; and (v) seeking extension by
virtue of action by any legislative or judicial authority. If, in the
reasonable opinion of the other party, the Responsible Party is failing
to exercise its best efforts to obtain the PEG-SOD Extension, the other
party may give the Responsible Party five days' written notice of such
opinion. If the Responsible Party fails, in the reasonable opinion of
the other party, to exercise its best efforts before the expiration of
such five day period to obtain the PEG-SOD Extension, the other party
may, in addition to any other remedies at law or equity, enforce the
requirements of this Article 17 through injunctive proceedings and an
action at law or equity. Additionally, if LICENSEE is the other party,
LICENSEE may request the court to order LICENSOR to grant LICENSEE the
power of attorney to prepare and file the application for any such
PEG-SOD Extension; if LICENSOR is the other party, LICENSOR may revoke
the power of attorney granted to LICENSEE to prepare and file such
application and may undertake to prepare and file such application on
LICENSOR's own behalf. The party from whom responsibility for seeking
the PEG-SOD Extension is taken pursuant to the preceding sentence shall
nonetheless cooperate with the efforts of the other party in seeking
each and every PEG- SOD Extension.
(e) Grant of Power of Attorney. If: (i) LICENSOR has not
previously granted LICENSEE a power of attorney to seek any PEG-SOD
Extension; (ii) a PLA or NDA before October 19, 1996; and (iii)
LICENSEE has provided LICENSOR with all information in its possession
that LICENSOR may desire for filing the interim PEG-SOD Extension but
LICENSOR has not filed for interim PEG-SOD Extension before October 19,
1996; then the power of attorney in the form attached to this Agreement
as Exhibit B shall become automatically effective on October 19, 1996
so as to enable LICENSEE to pursue the PEG-SOD Extension. The foregoing
provisions shall apply with equal force, and to the same effect and
extent, for any subsequent interim PEG-SOD Extension except that the
pertinent date on which such provision takes effect for any subsequent
interim PEG-SOD Extension shall be the date sixty days before the
expiration of the then-existing interim PEG-SOD Extension. If: (A)
LICENSOR has not previously granted LICENSEE a power of attorney to
seek any PEG-SOD Extension; (B) the FDA has approved an earlier-filed
PLA or NDA for a PEG-SOD Product; and (C) LICENSEE has provided
LICENSOR with all information in its possession that LICENSOR may
desire for filing the final PEG-SOD Extension but LICENSOR has not
filed for final PEG-SOD Extension on or before the later of the date
twenty days after the date of such
- 4 -
<PAGE>
FDA approval or the date five days after LICENSOR's receipt of the
information from LICENSEE; then the power of attorney in the form
attached to the Agreement as Exhibit B shall become automatically
effective on the 21st day after the date of such FDA approval so as to
enable LICENSEE to pursue the PEG-SOD Extension. Concurrently with the
execution of this amendment to the Revised License Agreement, LICENSOR
shall execute and deliver to LICENSEE (or its designated
representative) the sole and exclusive power of attorney to seek any
and all available PEG-SOD Extension, which power of attorney shall take
the form of Exhibit B. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of
such power of attorney, LICENSOR shall execute and deliver to LICENSEE
the Right of Assignee, substantially in the form attached to the power
of attorney of Exhibit B. The effectiveness and validity of such power
of attorney shall be subject to, and contingent upon, the satisfaction
of the conditions specified in this Article 17(e)). LICENSEE shall hold
such power of attorney in escrow until such time as the conditions of
this Article 17(e) are, in the reasonable opinion of LICENSEE,
satisfied, at which time, and only at which time, such power of
attorney shall be filed with the United States Patent and Trademark
Office. LICENSEE acknowledges and agrees that if it files such power of
attorney with the USPTO at a time in which the foregoing conditions
have not been fully satisfied, such power of attorney shall be revoked
ab initio and shall have no further force and effect. LICENSOR may seek
any remedy at law or equity for LICENSEE's violation of the provisions
of this Article 17(e).
(f) No Conflicting Agreements. Each party represents and
warrants to the other party that the provisions of this Article 17 do
not violate, and are not inconsistent with or contrary to, any other
agreement, contract or understanding to which the representing party is
presently a party. Each party represents and warrants to the other
party that the representing party shall not enter into any agreement,
contract or understanding that would be violated by, inconsistent with,
or contrary to, the representing party's fulfillment of the
representing party's duties under this Article 17.
SECTION 2.3. Amendment to Article 1(e)(viii) of the Revised License
Agreement. Article 1(e)(viii) of the Revised License Agreement is hereby changed
to read as follows:
(viii) "LICENSED FIELD" shall mean Fields A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and
I taken collectively, and, from and after the date of
extension of the license granted in ARTICLE 2 hereof to any
NEW FIELD, as defined in clause (x) of this ARTICLE 1(e),
shall also include each such NEW FIELD so added, but in no
event shall the LICENSED FIELD include the EXCLUDED FIELD.
SECTION 2.4. Amendment to Article 1(e) of the Revised License
Agreement. Article 1(e) often Revised License Agreement is hereby amended by
adding the following subparagraph (xi) after subparagraph (x) of Article 1(e):
- 5 -
<PAGE>
(xi) "Field I" shall mean the making, Using and Selling of
PEG-polypeptide complexes, the polypeptide portion of which is

Article 6 of the Revised License Agreement is hereby amended by adding the
following Paragraph (e) to the end of Article 6:

Annual License Maintenance Fee and no Annual Minimum Royalty shall be
due or payable by LICENSEE for Field I.

determined by dividing the amount of compensation payable to an Independent
Director in each quarter by the Fair Market Value of a Share (as defined in

Common Stock shall be paid in lieu of any fractional Share resulting from

Director for reelection by the Company's stockholders.
