ANESIVA, INC. SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.74

SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of the 20th day of January, 2009 (the “Effective Date”), by and among Anesiva, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the investors set forth on Schedule 1 hereto (each an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors”).

WHEREAS:

A. The Company requires additional financial support to enable the Company to maintain its operations, including continued payment of creditors and to secure additional time to try to effect a long-term solution to the Company’s financial needs or a sale or other liquidation of the Company in a manner to maximize the available return to creditors and stockholders of the Company. The Company, having explored all reasonable alternatives has, therefore, requested that the Investors enter into this Agreement for the purpose of providing additional financial support upon the terms of this Agreement. The Company, after diligent exploration, believes the terms offered by this Agreement are the only terms available to it. The Company believes that the entry of this Agreement will provide the Company with necessary financial support, helping to preserve the going concern value of the Company for the benefit of all creditors and other parties in interest, enabling the pay down of existing obligations and maximizing the returns to creditors as compared to any of the alternatives (including any bankruptcy proceedings – which would necessarily entail substantial adverse effects to the business of the Company and diminish value for all creditors, stockholders and other parties in interest).

B. Each of the Investors, other than entities managed or advised by CMEA Development Co. LLC, is a current stockholder of the Company.

C. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Investors have agreed upon the terms of this Agreement to purchase from the Company, and the Company has agreed to sell to the Investors, securities in the form set forth in Exhibit A.

D. In connection with the execution of this Agreement, the Company, each of the Company’s Subsidiaries (other than Anesiva Hong Kong Limited) (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), CMEA Ventures VII, L.P., as collateral agent of the Investors, and the Investors are also entering into a Pledge, Security and Collateral Agent Agreement (as such may be amended or modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”) in the form set forth in Exhibit B. The Security Agreement, among other things, provides that the Securities (as defined below) issued hereunder shall be secured obligations under such Security Agreement.

E. In connection with the execution of this Agreement, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall guaranty the obligations of the Company arising under this Agreement and the Related Documents (as defined below) pursuant to a form of Guaranty (as such may be amended or modified from time to time, the “Guaranty”) in the form set forth in Exhibit C.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, and for other consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1.	AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE SECURITIES

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company agrees to sell and issue to the Investors, severally and not jointly, and the Investors agree to purchase from the Company securities in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, a “Security” and collectively, the “Securities”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000.00) (the “Aggregate Commitment”) with the Company issuing Securities in aggregate principal amount of up to Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) in the Initial Closing (as defined below) and issuing Securities in aggregate principal amount of up to Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00) in the Subsequent Closings (as defined below) on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.2 below. All Securities shall be issued in the same form (with such changes as may be necessary to reflect the different Investors, principal amounts and issuance dates) and shall rank pari passu among themselves. No Securities shall be issued at a discount. The Lenders’ obligations hereunder are several and not joint obligations and no Lender shall have any liability to any Person for the performance or non-performance by any other Lender hereunder.

2.	THE CLOSINGS

2.1 Initial Closing. The initial closing (the “Initial Closing”) of the purchase and sale of the Securities to the Investors shall take place at the offices of Cooley Godward Kronish LLP, Five Palo Alto Square, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ on the date hereof, or at such other time and place as the Company and the Investors mutually agree upon orally or in writing (the “Initial Closing Date”). At the Initial Closing, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Investors and the Investors, severally and not jointly, agree, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 5, to purchase Securities in the aggregate principal amount of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00), with each Investor purchasing Securities in the principal amount equal to such Investor’s commitment as set forth under the heading “Initial Closing Commitment” on Schedule 1 (in each case, their “Initial Closing Commitment”).

2.2 Subsequent Closings. At any time prior to April 1, 2009, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company may, in its discretion, request a subsequent closing (each, a “Subsequent Closing,” and, together with the Initial Closing, the “Closings”); provided that (i) the amount requested by the Company in any Subsequent Closing shall not exceed Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) per Closing; (ii) the Company may not request more than two Subsequent Closings; and (iii) the request for a Subsequent Closing must be approved in writing by the Majority Investors (as defined below). In the event that a Subsequent Closing is triggered in accordance with this Section 2.2, then, subject to Section 5, each Investor (or its Affiliates, designees or successor funds, as the case may be) may, in its sole discretion, purchase a Security in the principal amount equal to the product of (i) the amount requested by the Company in the Subsequent Closing multiplied by (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing (a) such Investor’s Initial Closing Commitment by (b) the aggregate Initial Closing Commitment of all of the Investors (with respect to each Investor, the “Investor Allocation Ratio”) or in such other amounts as the Investors shall agree or in such lesser amount as such Investor, in its sole discretion, may elect.

To the extent that any Investor fails to purchase its full principal amount of Securities pursuant to its Investor Allocation Ratio in a Subsequent Closing, then all other Investors purchasing Securities in such Subsequent Closing shall have the right (but not the obligation) to purchase such unsold Security amounts pursuant to their respective Investor Allocation Ratios or in such other amounts as the Investors shall agree. All sales at a Subsequent Closing shall be made on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. In the event that a Subsequent Closing is triggered in accordance with this Section 2.2, the Subsequent Closing shall take place at such location and at such time as the Company and the Majority Investors shall mutually agree.

2.3 Delivery. At each Closing: (i) each Investor participating in such Closing will deliver to the Company in immediately available funds an amount equal to its investment amount calculated in accordance with this Section 2 and (ii) the Company shall deliver to each such Investor a Security dated the date of such Closing in a principal amount equal to the amount invested by such Investor.

Subject to Section 4.2, each Investor shall be entitled to transfer its Security(ies) in any manner permitted by applicable law and to the registration of such transfer by the Company in the name of such transferee or transferees as shall be specified by the Investor. In the event of a proposed transfer, the transferring Investor shall give written notice to the Company of such Investor’s intention to effect such transfer. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed transfer in sufficient detail, and shall, if the Company so requests, be accompanied by either: (i) a written opinion of legal counsel, who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, addressed to the Company and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company’s counsel, to the effect that the proposed transfer of the Security may be effected without registration under the Securities Act or (ii) a “no action” letter from the SEC to the effect that the transfer of such Security without registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the SEC that action be taken with respect thereto, whereupon the holder of such restricted securities shall be entitled to transfer such restricted securities in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by such holder to the Company; provided, however, that no opinion or “no action” letter need be obtained with respect to a transfer to: (a) an affiliate (as such term is defined in the Securities Act) of the Investor; (b) a partner, active or retired, of the Investor; (c) the estate of any such partner; or (d) the spouse, children, grandchildren or spouse of such children or grandchildren of any holder or to trusts for the benefit of the Investor or such Persons.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such transferee shall execute and deliver a counterpart of this Agreement, the Security Agreement and the Guaranty to the Company and the Investors, in form and substance satisfactory to the Majority Lenders, and, by delivering such counterpart, such transferee shall be deemed to agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Guaranty and the other Related Documents.

6.4 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities. In case any Security shall become mutilated or defaced, or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Security of like principal amount in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the destroyed, lost or stolen Security. In the case of a mutilated or defaced Security, the relevant Investor shall surrender such Security to the Company.

7.9 Tax Characterization. The Company and each Investor agree (and agree to cause their respective owners or Affiliates) to treat the Securities as equity, not debt, for all U.S. tax purposes and not to take any position inconsistent with such U.S. tax treatment for U.S. tax purposes to the extent permitted by law.

7.10 Rights Offering. The Company and the Investors acknowledge and agree that the Company anticipates, upon approval by the Board of Directors, to offer to its stockholders non-transferable subscription rights to purchase Securities in an aggregate principal amount of up to Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00). In such event, each Investor hereby agrees to waive any right to participate in any such rights offering, except to the extent that not all of the principal amount of Securities offered in any such rights offering are purchased by the Company’s stockholders (excluding the Investors).

9.	EVENTS OF DEFAULT; ACCELERATION

9.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following, upon written notice by the Majority Investors to the Company, shall constitute an “Event of Default.” An Event of Default that has not been cured within the applicable period of time or waived by the Majority Investors in accordance with the terms hereof shall, at the option of the Majority Investors (1) make all sums of unpaid principal and returns on the Securities and any Securities Amounts and other amounts due and owing under this Agreement or any Related Document immediately due and payable (including, in the case where the underling Event of Default would trigger the Company’s obligations set forth in Section 8.2 hereof, the sums due pursuant to Section 8.2) and (2) give the Investors the right to exercise any other right or remedy provided by contract or applicable law:

(a) the Company shall fail to pay any principal or returns due under the Securities, or fail to pay any fees or other charges when due under this Agreement or any of the Related Documents, and such failure continues for three (3) Business Days or more after the same first becomes due;

(b) any representation or warranty made, or financial statement, certificate or other document provided, by the Company or any Subsidiary under this Agreement or any Related Document shall prove to have been false or misleading in any material respect when made or deemed made herein;

(c) any registration statement, proxy statement, report or other document filed by the Company under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(e) the Company or any Subsidiary shall be in default beyond any applicable period of grace or cure under any other agreement involving the borrowing of money, the purchase of property, the advance of credit or any other monetary liability of any kind to any Investor or to any other Person that results in the acceleration of payment of such obligation in an amount in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00);

(f) any governmental or regulatory authority shall take any judicial or administrative action, or any defined benefit pension plan maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary shall have any unfunded liabilities, any of which, in the reasonable judgment of the Majority Investors, would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect;

(g) any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or a substantial or material part of the assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, including, without limitation, to any trust or similar entity, shall occur, except where such transaction is consented to by the Majority Investors;

(h) any judgment(s) singly or in the aggregate in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) shall be entered against the Company or any Subsidiary that remain unsatisfied, unvacated or unstayed pending appeal for forty-five (45) or more days after entry thereof;

(j) the Company’s Cash and Cash Equivalents (as defined below) shall fall below Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00);

(k) there shall be a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries (for the avoidance of doubt, the departure of key members of the Company’s management shall constitute a Material Adverse Effect) or the Collateral shall be impaired; and

(l) the Company or any Subsidiary shall fail to perform or observe any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any Related Document (other than a covenant that is dealt with specifically elsewhere in this Article 9) and, if capable of being cured, the breach of such covenant is not cured within thirty (30) days after the sooner to occur of the Company’s receipt of notice of such breach from the Majority Investors or the date on which such breach first becomes known to any officer of the Company; provided, however, that if such breach is not capable of being cured within such thirty (30)-day period and the Company timely notifies

the Majority Investor of such fact and the Company diligently pursues such cure, then the cure period shall be extended to the date requested in the Company’s notice but in no event more than ninety (90) days from the initial breach; provided, further, that such additional sixty (60)-day opportunity to cure shall not apply in the case of any failure to perform or observe any covenant which has been the subject of a prior failure within the preceding one hundred eighty (180) days or which is a willful and knowing breach by the Company or any Subsidiary.

No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, will impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting party nor will it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor will any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and will be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, will be cumulative and not alternative.

9.2 Remedies Upon Default. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default described in Section 9.1(c), each of (i) the unpaid principal amount of and accrued returns on the Securities and (ii) all other Securities Amounts shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company, and (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, the Investors shall be entitled to, at their option, exercise any or all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law, and exercise any or all of their rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement and in any Related Document. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any Securities Amounts is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by a Investor upon, on account of or in connection with, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, any Subsidiary or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

9.3 Sale of Collateral. In addition to any other rights set forth in this Agreement or any of the Related Documents, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Investors may sell all or any part of the Collateral, at public or private sales, to themselves, a wholesaler, retailer or investor, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices as the Investors may deem commercially reasonable. To the extent permitted by law, the Company hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption and any rights of stay or appraisal that it has or may have under any applicable law in effect from time to time. Any such public or private sales shall be held at such times and at such place(s) as the Investors may determine. In case of the sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Investors until the selling price is paid by the purchaser, but the Investors shall not incur any liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to pay for the Collateral and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be resold. The Investors may, instead of exercising their power of sale, proceed to enforce their security interest in the Collateral by seeking a judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is in effect:

(a) Subject to the rights of any third parties, the Investors may, in compliance with applicable law, license, or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks or other Intellectual Property included in the Collateral throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions and in such manner as the Investors shall in their sole discretion determine;

(b) The Investors may (without assuming any obligations or liability thereunder), at any time and from time to time, enforce (and shall have the exclusive right to enforce) against any licensee or sublicensee all rights and remedies of the Company in, to and under any Copyright Licenses, Patent Licenses, Trademark Licenses or other Intellectual Property and take or refrain from taking any action under any thereof, and the Company hereby releases the Investors from, and agrees to hold the Investors free and harmless from and against any claims arising out of, any lawful action so taken or omitted to be taken with respect thereto other than claims arising out of an Investor’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; and

(c) Upon request by the Majority Investors, the Company will execute and deliver to the Investors a power of attorney, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Investors, for the implementation of any lease, assignment, license, sublicense, grant of option, sale or other disposition of a Copyright, Patent, Trademark or other Intellectual Property. In the event of any such disposition pursuant to this clause (c), the Company shall supply its know-how and expertise relating to the products or services made or rendered in connection with Patents, the manufacture and sale of the products bearing Trademarks and its customer lists and other records relating to such Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks or other Intellectual Property and to the distribution of said products, to the Investors.

9.4 Company’s Obligations Upon Default. Upon the request of the Majority Investors after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Company will:

(a) Assemble and make available to the Investors the Collateral at such place(s) as the Majority Investors shall reasonably designate, segregating all Collateral so that each item is capable of identification; and

(b) Subject to the rights of any lessor, permit the Investors, by the Investors’ officers, employees, agents and representatives, to enter any premises where any Collateral is located, to take possession of the Collateral, to complete the processing, manufacture or repair of any Collateral, and to remove the Collateral, or to conduct any public or private sale of the Collateral, all without any liability of the Investors for rent or other compensation for the use of the Company’s premises.

Each of the Investors hereby agrees that the Majority Investors shall have the right, power and authority to direct, on behalf of all Investors, the manner of any and all action taken by the Investors in respect of: (i) the demand or acceleration of the Securities or any other Securities Amounts; (ii) the enforcement of this

Agreement and the Related Documents or exercise of any remedial action in respect thereof; (iii) the exercise or non-exercise of remedies against the Collateral; (iv) the release of any Collateral; and (v) the granting of waivers, forbearances or making of amendments in respect of this Agreement, any Related Document or any Event of Default or any Collateral. Any such direction by or approval of the Majority Investors shall be binding on all Investors and each Investor agrees to join in any action or proceeding commenced by the Majority Investors hereunder and/or to otherwise assist the Majority Investors with respect to any such direction or approval. Without limitation to the foregoing, each of the Investors agrees to execute and deliver such documents or instruments (including where appropriate powers of attorney) and do all such things as may be required by the Majority Investors in connection with the exercise of their authority hereunder.

Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Collateral Agent may exercise its rights under the Security Agreement and any other Related Documents.

10.9 Exculpation among Investors. Each Investor acknowledges and agrees that no other Investor (nor any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or attorneys) has represented it or otherwise been responsible for acting for it in connection with the preparation, negotiation or execution and delivery of this Agreement or any of the Related Documents and that each Investor has made its own independent review and appraisal of, and sought its own independent advice (and if it has not sought such advice assumes the risks associated with not obtaining such advice) regarding, the terms of this Agreement and the Related Documents and the structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the scope and nature of the

Collateral, the financial or other condition of the Company, its Subsidiaries and all other matters pertaining to this Agreement and the Related Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby. No Investor shall have any obligation or duty to ensure the compliance by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Investor with the conditions specified in any of this Agreement or the Related Documents for any extension of credit to the Company.

Accordingly, each Investor confirms to the other Investors that it has not relied, and will not hereafter rely, on the other Investors: (i) to check or inquire on such Investor’s behalf into the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information provided by the Company or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Documents (whether or not such information has been or is hereafter distributed to such Investor) or (ii) to assess or keep under review on such Investor’s behalf, the financial condition, creditworthiness, condition, affairs, status or nature of the Company, any Subsidiary or the nature or value of any Collateral.

The Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Collateral Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement, the Related Documents or applicable laws.

10.13 Sole Benefit of Investors. This Section 10 has been entered into for the sole protection and benefit of the Investors and their successors and assigns, and no other Person, including, but not limited to, the Company and its Subsidiaries, shall be a direct or indirect beneficiary of, or shall have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Section 10.

The Company hereby agrees to indemnify the Investors and their directors, officers, employees, agents, counsel, Affiliates and other advisors (each an “Indemnified Person”) against, and hold each of them harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, claims, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to an Indemnified Person (including allocated costs of internal counsel), that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Person (i) in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Related Documents, the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Securities, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; (ii) the breach or default by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement or any of the Related Documents and (iii) with respect to any investigation, litigation or other proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, irrespective of whether the Indemnified Person shall be designated a party thereto (the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any Indemnified Person for any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent that they are found by a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). NO SALE, PLEDGE OR DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT OR AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT.

THIS SECURITY IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT (AS DEFINED BELOW).

SECURITY


$[ ]		[ ]

For value received, Anesiva, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay to the order of [ ] (together with its successors and assigns, the “Holder”), the principal sum of [ ], together with returns accrued but unpaid thereon, upon the terms of this Security (the “Security”).

Returns shall accrue from the date hereof until maturity at a continuously compounding rate equal to seven percent (7%) per annum; provided, however, that, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in that certain Security Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 20, 2009 (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”), among the Company and, among others, the Holder), returns shall accrue at a continuously compounding rate equal to fourteen percent (14%) per annum. All computations of returns shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last) occurring in the period for which such return is payable.

Unless earlier paid pursuant to the terms hereof or the Purchase Agreement or accelerated in connection with an Event of Default, subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid returns shall be immediately due and payable at any time at the request of the Majority Investors on or after July 20, 2009 (the “Maturity Date”). The Company shall not have the right to pre-pay the amounts due under this Security prior to the Maturity Date without the prior written consent of the Majority Investors. The pre-payment of this Security shall be deemed to be a Change of Control and shall require the payment by the Company to the Holder of the amounts set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

1. This Security is issued pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The Holder is entitled to the benefit of, and is subject to certain restrictions contained in, the Purchase Agreement and the other Related Documents. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement. The indebtedness evidenced by this Security shall be secured by all collateral, as more particularly described in that certain Pledge, Security and Collateral Agent Agreement, dated as of January 20, 2009 (as may be further amended or modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”), among the

Company and, among others, the Holder and the Collateral Agent and that certain Guaranty, dated as of January 20, 2009 (as may be further amended or modified from time to time, the “Guaranty”) by and among AlgoRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and, among others, the Holder. Each holder of this Security will be deemed, by its acceptance hereof, to have agreed to the provisions and to have made the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4 the Purchase Agreement (other than Section 4.2 thereof). The Securities are issuable as registered securities. Subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, this Security is transferable by surrender hereof at the principal office of the Company, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered holder of this Security or by any other method permitted by the Purchase Agreement.

2. All payments hereunder shall be applied in the order provided for in the Purchase Agreement. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due, or whenever any return payment date or any other date specified hereunder would otherwise occur, on a day other than a Business Day, then such payment shall be made, and such return payment date or other date shall occur, on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of returns hereunder.

3. All payments in respect of this Security shall be in immediately available lawful money of the United States of America and shall be sent so as to be received no later than 2 p.m. (Pacific time) on the date of payment, at the address specified in the Purchase Agreement, or at such other address as may be specified from time to time by such Holder in a written notice delivered to the Company. All payments in respect of this Security shall be made unconditionally in full without any deduction, set off, counterclaim or other defense. If any scheduled payment date is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

4. The Company hereby waives demand, notice, presentment, protest and notice of dishonor.

5. (a) The terms of this Security shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, as applied to contracts entered into by California residents within the State of California, which contracts are to be performed entirely within the State of California. The Company hereby (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the County of San Francisco, State of California and the Federal courts of the United States sitting in the Northern District of the State of California for the purpose of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Security, the Purchase Agreement and the Related Documents; (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such courts; (iii) irrevocably waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any objection that it now or hereafter may have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding brought in any of the foregoing courts, and any objection on the ground that any such action or proceeding in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum; and (iv) agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner permitted by law.

(b) The parties agree that any dispute, controversy or claim (including any counterclaim) (each, a “Dispute”) arising out of or relating to this Security, the Purchase Agreement or any Related Documents shall be finally resolved by confidential binding arbitration in San Francisco County, California as the sole and exclusive method of resolving such dispute, controversy or claim. Any Dispute shall be settled by arbitration under the rules then in effect of JAMS/Endispute conducted by a single arbitrator reasonably acceptable to the parties. The arbitrator shall have no power to amend this Security, the Purchase Agreement or any Related Documents. The arbitrator shall issue an award in writing (including an explanation of the grounds for such award) as promptly as practicable that shall be final and binding on the parties. Judgment upon any award thus obtained may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. No action at law or in equity based upon any claim arising out of or related to this Security, the Purchase Agreement or any Related Documents shall be instituted in any court by any party except (a) an action to compel arbitration pursuant to this Section 5(b); or (b) an action to enforce an award obtained in an arbitration proceeding in accordance with this Section 5(b). Pending the submission to arbitration and thereafter until the arbitrator publishes its award, each party shall, except in the event of termination, continue to perform all its obligations under this Security, the Purchase Agreement and the Related Documents without prejudice to a final adjustment in accordance with the award.

6. Notwithstanding any provision of this Security to the contrary, any payments hereunder deemed to be interest shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. To the extent that any interest otherwise paid or payable by the Company to the Holder shall have been finally adjudicated to exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, such interest shall be retroactively deemed to have been a required repayment of principal (and any such amount paid in excess of the outstanding principal amount shall be promptly returned to the Company).

7. Any term of this Security and the other Securities may be amended and the observance of any term of this Security and the other Securities may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. Any such amendment or waiver shall be effective only for the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

8. No remedy herein conferred upon the Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every right or other remedy now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.

9. No course of dealing between the Company and the Holder or any delay on the part of the Holder in exercising any rights or remedies shall operate as a waiver of any such right or remedy of the Holder.

10. This Security shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Company, the Holder and their respective successors and assigns. The Company may not assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey its rights, benefits, obligations or duties hereunder without the prior express written consent of the Majority Investors. Any such purported assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other conveyance by the Company without the prior express written consent of the Majority Investors shall be void.

11. Whenever possible, each provision of this Security shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under all applicable laws and regulations. If, however, any provision of this Security shall be prohibited by or invalid under any such law or regulation in any jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed modified to conform to the minimum requirements of such law or regulation, or, if for any reason it is not deemed so modified, it shall be ineffective and invalid only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without affecting the remaining provisions of this Security, or the validity or effectiveness of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

12. This Security is issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and in connection with the Security Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Related Documents. Material terms applicable to this Security are set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Related Documents. This Security shall be interpreted in a manner to give full effect to its provisions and the provisions of the Purchase Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Related Documents.

13. The Company agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses of the Holder, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel (including the allocated costs of internal counsel), in connection with: (i) any amendments, modifications or waivers of the terms hereof or of the Purchase Agreement or of any other Related Documents; (ii) the protection or preservation of the Holder’s rights under this Security, under the Purchase Agreement or under any other Related Documents, whether by judicial proceeding or otherwise; (iii) enforcement or attempted enforcement of, and preservation of any rights under, this Security, the Purchase Agreement or any other Related Documents; and (iv) any out-of-court workout or other refinancing or restructuring or in any bankruptcy case, including, without limitation, any and all losses, costs and expenses sustained by the Holder as a result of any failure by the Company to perform or observe its obligations contained herein or in the Purchase Agreement or in any of the other Related Documents.

14. The Company and the Holder agree (and agree to cause their respective owners or Affiliates) to treat this Security as equity, not debt, for all U.S. tax purposes and not to take any position inconsistent with such U.S. tax treatment for U.S. tax purposes to the extent permitted by law.

(a) Each of the Secured Parties, by signing below or by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement, hereby appoints CMEA Ventures VII, L.P. as “Collateral Agent.” Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict or prevent the Collateral Agent from being a Secured Party. In its capacity as a Secured Party, the Collateral Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the Related Documents as any other Secured Party and may exercise the same as though it were not the Collateral Agent. In this regard, the term “Secured Party” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include the Collateral Agent in its individual capacity.

The Collateral Agent’s duties and obligations shall commence as of the first day a Security is executed by Anesiva in favor of any Secured Party. Each Secured Party hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and perform such duties under this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the Related Documents as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The duties and obligations of the Collateral Agent are strictly limited to those expressly provided for herein, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent.

As to the exercise of any of its powers and discharge of any of its duties, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to obtain instructions of the Majority Secured Parties, and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon such instructions and such instructions shall be binding upon all Secured Parties. Except for actions expressly required of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act under this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the Related Documents unless it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Secured Parties against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action, and the Collateral Agent shall not in any event be required to take any action that exposes the Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Related Documents or applicable law.

Beyond the exercise of such level of care to assure the safe custody of the Collateral in its possession as the Collateral Agent, and the accounting for any monies actually received by the Collateral Agent in such capacity, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability to exercise or preserve any rights, privileges and powers pertaining to the Collateral.

(e) The Secured Parties hereby agree to indemnify the Collateral Agent, and any affiliates, directors, officers, employees, partners, members, agents, counsel and other advisors (collectively, the “Related Persons”) of the Collateral Agent ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Share, against and hold each of them harmless from any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, claims, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including the fees and disbursements of counsel to the Collateral Agent (collectively, the “Liabilities”), that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Collateral Agent or any such Related Person to be indemnified, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or the Related Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Collateral Agent or other such Related Person to be indemnified in connection with any of the foregoing, unless such Liabilities shall be caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Collateral Agent.

(f) The Collateral Agent may, in its discretion, employ from time to time one or more agents or attorneys-in-fact (including any of the Collateral Agent’s affiliates) to perform any of the Collateral Agent’s duties under this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the Related Documents.

The Grantors shall promptly execute all documents and instruments necessary to convey all rights and interests under this Agreement and related documents and instruments to any successor Collateral Agent. If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Secured Parties, and shall have accepted

such appointment, prior to the effective date of the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation, the retiring Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Collateral Agent from among the Secured Parties. Upon the effectiveness of the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges, duties and obligations of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the Related Documents.

If any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of the Investment Property shall be received by such Grantor, such Grantor shall, until such money or property is paid or delivered to the Collateral Agent, hold such money or property in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, as additional collateral security for the Securities Amounts.

(ii) Without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor will not (i) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any Issuer to issue any stock or other equity securities of any nature or to issue any other securities convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any stock or other equity securities of any nature of any Issuer, unless such securities are delivered to the Collateral Agent, concurrently with the issuance thereof, to be held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral, (ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof (except pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted by the Purchase Agreement), (iii) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof, or any interest therein, except for Permitted Liens or (iv) enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of such Grantor or the Collateral Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of the Pledged Collateral.

(iii) In the case of each Grantor which is an Issuer, such Issuer agrees that (i) it will be bound by the terms of this Agreement relating to the Pledged Stock issued by it and will comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it, (ii) it will notify the Collateral Agent promptly in writing of the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 7(k)(i) with respect to the Pledged Stock issued by it and (iii) the terms of Sections 9(d) and 9(e) shall apply to it, mutatis mutandis, with respect to all actions that may be required of it pursuant to Sections 9(d) or 9(e) with respect to the Pledged Stock issued by it.

(iv) Each interest in any limited liability company or partnership controlled by any Grantor and pledged hereunder shall be represented by a certificate, shall be a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC and shall be governed by the UCC.

(l) Such Grantor shall pay promptly when due all property and other taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon, and all claims (including claims for labor, services, materials and supplies) against, the Collateral except to the extent the validity thereof is being contested in good faith; provided that such Grantor shall in any event pay such taxes, assessments, charges, levies or claims not later than five days prior to the date of any proposed sale under any judgment, writ or warrant of attachment entered or filed against such Grantor or any of the Collateral as a result of the failure to make such payment.

(m) Such Grantor shall permit representatives of the Collateral Agent at any time during normal business hours to inspect and make abstracts from records of the Collateral, and each Grantor agrees to render to the Collateral Agent, at such Grantor’s cost and expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto.

Section 8. Authorization; Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to, in the name of any Grantor, or in the name of the Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent or otherwise, and each Grantor hereby constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and any of the Collateral Agent’s officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority to in the place and stead of such Grantor, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Collateral may deem necessary or advisable to maintain, realize upon and preserve the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s security interest, on behalf of the Secured Parties, therein and to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation:

(a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to obtain and adjust any insurance required to be maintained by such Grantor;

(b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to ask for, demand, collect, ▇▇▇ for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;

(c) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, chattel paper and other documents in connection with clauses (a) and (b) above;

(d) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce or protect the rights of a Secured Party with respect to any of the Collateral;

(e) to pay or discharge liens (other than liens permitted under this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement) levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, any such payments made by the Collateral Agent to become obligations of such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, due and payable immediately without demand;

(f) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with accounts and other documents relating to the Collateral; and

(g) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and the Grantors’ expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and irrevocable so long as the Securities Amounts have not been paid and performed in full. Each Grantor hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that the Collateral Agent shall lawfully and in good faith do or cause to be done by virtue of and in compliance with this Section 8.

Section 9. Remedies.

(a) In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or any of the Related Documents, each Secured Party, through the Collateral Agent, shall be entitled to all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and other applicable laws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, at its sole discretion, may (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties, (ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process, (iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Collateral Agent deems appropriate, (iv) take possession of any Grantor’s premises or place custodians in exclusive control thereof, remain on such premises and use the same and any of such Grantor’s

equipment for the purpose of completing any work in process, taking any actions described in the preceding clause (iii) and collecting any obligation and (v) sell, resell, lease, use, assign, license, sublicense, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral in its then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing (utilizing in connection therewith any of the Grantors’ assets, without charge or liability to the Secured Parties therefor) at public or private sale, by one or more contracts, in one or more parcels, at the same or different times, for cash or credit, or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk; provided, however, that the Grantors shall be credited with the net proceeds of sale only when such proceeds are finally collected by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which right or equity of redemption the Grantors hereby release, to the extent permitted by law. Each of the Secured Parties hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to credit bid all or any part of the Securities Amounts owed to such Secured Party. The Collateral Agent shall make such bids in accordance with each Secured Party’s Pro Rata Share and shall hold any Collateral so acquired in trust on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. The Grantors hereby agree that the sending of notice by ordinary mail, postage prepaid, to the address of the Grantors set forth herein, of the place and time of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to be made, shall be deemed reasonable notice thereof if such notice is sent ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of such sale or other disposition or the date on or after which such sale or other disposition may occur, provided that the Collateral Agent may provide the Grantors shorter notice or no notice, to the extent permitted by the UCC or other applicable law.

(b) Solely for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise its rights and remedies under this Agreement, effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Grantors hereby grant the Collateral Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive and assignable license (exercisable without payment or royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to use, license or sublicense any of the Collateral.

(c) The cash proceeds actually received from the sale or other disposition or collection of the Collateral and any other amounts received in respect of the Collateral or the application of which is not otherwise provided for herein, shall be applied first, to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent (including the reasonable costs and expenses of legal counsel) in exercising or enforcing its rights hereunder and in collecting or attempting to collect any of the Collateral; and second, to the payment of the Securities Amounts. Any surplus thereof that exists after payment and performance in full of the Securities Amounts shall be promptly paid over to the Grantors or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the UCC or other applicable law. The Grantors shall remain liable to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties for any deficiency that exists after any sale or other disposition or collection of the Collateral.

(d) (i) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 9(d)(ii), each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Stock paid in the normal course of business of the relevant Issuer and consistent with past practice, to the

extent permitted in the Purchase Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate right exercised or other action taken which, in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable judgment, would impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Purchase Agreement, this Agreement or any Related Document.

(ii) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral and make application thereof to the Securities Amounts in the order set forth in Section 9(c) and (ii) any or all of the Pledged Collateral shall be registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee, and the Collateral Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Collateral at any meeting of stockholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Collateral, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Collateral with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

(iii) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to the Collateral Agent.

(e) (i) If the Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Stock pursuant to Section 9(a), and if in the opinion of the Collateral Agent it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the relevant Grantor will cause the Issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (ii) use its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold,

and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Each Grantor agrees to cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all jurisdictions that the Collateral Agent shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

(ii) Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers that will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities Laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.

(iii) Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Stock pursuant to this Section 9(e) valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable laws. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 9(e) will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 9(e) shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Purchase Agreement.

(f) The Collateral Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Receivables, subject to the Collateral Agent’s direction and control after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and the Collateral Agent may curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. If required by the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent if required, in a collateral account maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Collateral Agent for the account of the Secured Parties at its discretion, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.

(g) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the Collateral Agent’s request, each Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions that gave rise to the Receivables, including, without limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

(h) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor will cooperate with the Collateral Agent to establish a system of lockbox accounts, under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent, into which all Receivables shall be paid and from which all collected funds will be transferred to a Collateral Account.

(i) Upon the request of the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to notify each obligor on the Receivables that the Receivables have been assigned to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties as Collateral hereunder and to instruct such obligor to make all payments in respect thereof directly to the Collateral Agent or to the Collateral Account or as otherwise directed by the Collateral Agent.

Section 10. Certain Waivers. Each Grantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) any right of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder; and (ii) any right to require the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party (A) to proceed against any Person, (B) to exhaust any other collateral or security for any of the Securities Amounts, (C) to pursue any remedy in any Secured Party’s or Collateral Agent’s power, or (D) to make or give any presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protests or notices of dishonor in connection with any of the Collateral.

Section 11. Notices. All notices or other communications hereunder shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission) and mailed, sent or delivered to the respective parties hereto at or to their respective addresses or facsimile numbers set forth below their names on the signature pages hereof, or at or to such other address or facsimile number as shall be designated by any party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. All such notices and other communications shall be effective (i) if delivered by hand, when delivered; (ii) if sent by mail, upon the earlier of the date of receipt or five Business Days after deposit in the mail, first class (or air mail, with respect to communications to be sent to or from the United States); (iii) if sent by overnight mail, one day after deposit with the overnight courier; and (iv) if sent by facsimile transmission, when sent so long as a valid confirmation is received by sender.

Section 12. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of any Secured Party or the Collateral Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the Related Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any

other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the Related Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges that may otherwise be available to such Secured Party or the Collateral Agent.

Section 13. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by any Grantor, any Secured Party, any Collateral Agent appointed hereunder and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of California, without regard to the choice of law rules thereof, except to the extent the validity or perfection of the security interests hereunder, or the remedies hereunder, in respect of any Collateral are governed by the law of a jurisdiction other than California.

Section 15. Entire Agreement; Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and no amendment to this Agreement, or any waiver of any provision hereof, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Majority Secured Parties and (in the case of any amendment) each Grantor; except that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and additionally signed by the Collateral Agent affect the rights or duties of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement.

Section 16. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under all applicable laws and regulations. If, however, any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under any such law or regulation in any jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed modified to conform to the minimum requirements of such law or regulation, or, if for any reason it is not deemed so modified, it shall be ineffective and invalid only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement, or the validity or effectiveness of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

Section 18. Termination. This Agreement shall be terminated upon indefeasible payment and performance in full of all Securities Amounts. Upon termination, the Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall promptly, at the cost of the Grantors, execute and deliver to the Grantors such documents and instruments reasonably requested by the Grantors as shall be necessary to evidence termination of all security interests given by the Grantors to the Secured Parties hereunder; provided, however, that the obligations under Section 4 hereof shall survive such termination.

Section 19. Suretyship Waivers by Grantors, etc.

(a) Each Grantor agrees that its Securities Amounts are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance that constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Securities Amounts. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Grantor agrees as follows: (i) Secured Parties may from time to time, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability of the Purchase Agreement or any Related Document or giving rise to any limitation, impairment or discharge of such Grantor’s liability under the Purchase Agreement or any Related Document, (A) renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Securities Amounts, (B) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Securities Amounts or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations, (C) request and accept guaranties of the Securities Amounts and take and hold other security for the payment of the Securities Amounts, (D) release, exchange, compromise, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any other security for payment of the Securities Amounts, any guaranties of the Securities Amounts, or any other obligation of any Person with respect to the Securities Amounts, (E) enforce and apply any other security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of Secured Party in respect of the Securities Amounts and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that a Secured Party may have against any such security, as Secured Party in its discretion may determine consistent with the Purchase Agreement, the Related Documents and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and (F) exercise any other rights available to such Secured Party under the Purchase Agreement and the Related Documents at law or in equity; and (ii) the Purchase Agreement, the Related Documents and the Securities Amounts shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any limitation, impairment or discharge for any reason (other than payment in full of the Securities Amounts), including, without limitation, the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not such Grantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (A) any failure to assert or enforce or agreement not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy with respect to the Securities Amounts or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any guaranty of or other security for the payment of the Securities Amounts, (B) any waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including, without limitation, provisions relating to events of default) of the Purchase Agreement, any of the Related Documents or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any guaranty or other security for the Securities Amounts, (C) the Securities Amounts, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect, (D) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of indebtedness other than the Securities Amounts, even though a Secured Party might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Securities Amounts, (E) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any other collateral that secures any of the Securities Amounts, (F) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims that any Grantor may allege or assert against a Secured Party in respect of the Securities Amounts, including, but not limited to, failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury, and (G) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Grantor as an obligor in respect of the Securities Amounts.

(b) Each Grantor hereby waives, for the benefit of the Secured Parties: (i) any right to require a Secured Party as a condition of payment or performance by such Grantor, to (A) proceed against such Grantor, any guarantor of the Securities Amounts or any other Person, (B) proceed against or exhaust any other security held from such Grantor, any guarantor of the Securities Amounts or any other Person, (C) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of Secured Party of such Grantor or any other Person, or (D) pursue any other remedy in the power of Secured Party whatsoever; (ii) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of such Grantor including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Securities Amounts or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of such Grantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Securities Amounts; (iii) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law that provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (iv) any defense based upon a Secured Party’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Securities Amounts, except behavior that amounts to bad faith; (v) (A) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, that are or might be in conflict with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, any Related Document and any legal or equitable discharge of such Grantor’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement or any Related Document, (B) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Grantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement of any Securities Amounts, (C) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (D) promptness, diligence and any requirement that a Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any other security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (vi) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, notices of default under the Purchase Agreement, any Related Document or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Securities Amounts or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to such Grantor and notices of any of the matters referred to in the preceding paragraph and any right to consent to any thereof; and (vii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law that limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or that may conflict with the terms of the Purchase Agreement or any Related Document.

(c) As used in this Section 19(c), any reference to “the principal” includes each Grantor, and any reference to “the creditor” includes each Secured Party. In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Civil Code (a) each Grantor waives any and all rights and defenses available to the Grantor by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433 of the California Civil Code. No other provision of this Agreement shall be construed as limiting the generality of any of the covenants and waivers set forth in this Section 19.

(d) Until the Securities Amounts shall have been paid in full, each Grantor shall withhold exercise of (i) any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Grantor now has or may hereafter have against the other Grantors or any of their assets in connection with the Purchase Agreement and the Related Documents or the performance by such

Grantor of its obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the Related Documents, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute (including, without limitation, under California Civil Code Section 2847, 2848 or 2849), under common law or otherwise and including without limitation (A) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that a Grantor now has or may hereafter have against another Grantor, (B) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that a Secured Party now has or may hereafter have against any Grantor, and (C) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any other collateral or security now or hereafter held by a Secured Party and (ii) any right of contribution such Grantor may have against any other guarantor of the Securities Amounts. Each Grantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Grantor may have against any other Grantor or against any other collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Grantor may have against any such guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights a Secured Party may have against the other Grantors, to all right, title and interest a Secured Party may have in any such other collateral or security, and to any right a Secured Party, may have against any such guarantor.

(e) No Secured Party shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Grantor its assessment, or such Grantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of any other Grantor. Each Grantor has adequate means to obtain information from the other Grantors on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of the other Grantors and their ability to perform their obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the Related Documents, and such Grantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the other Grantors and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Securities Amounts. Each Grantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of a Secured Party to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or condition of the other Grantors now known or hereafter known by a Secured Party.

EXHIBIT C

GUARANTY

This Guaranty is entered into as of January 20, 2009 by AlgoRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Guarantor”), in favor of and for the benefit of the Investors under and as defined in the Purchase Agreement (as defined below) (the “Beneficiaries”) under that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 20, 2009, by and among Anesiva, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Beneficiaries (said Securities Purchase Agreement, as it may hereafter be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, being the “Purchase Agreement;” capitalized terms defined therein and not otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein defined).

1. Guaranty. (a) In order to induce the Beneficiaries to extend credit to the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally guaranties, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the due and punctual payment in full of all Guarantied Amounts (as hereinafter defined) when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code). The term “Guarantied Amounts” is used herein in its most comprehensive sense and includes any and all obligations of Company in respect of notes, advances, borrowings, loans, debts, interest, fees, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel), indemnities and liabilities of whatsoever nature now or hereafter made, incurred or created, whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, whether due or not due, and however arising under or in connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Securities, this Guaranty and the other Related Documents, including those arising under successive borrowing transactions under the Purchase Agreement which shall either continue such obligations of the Company or from time to time renew them after they have been satisfied.

The Guarantor acknowledges that the Guarantied Amounts are being incurred for and will inure to the benefit of the Guarantor.

Any returns on any portion of the Guarantied Amounts that accrues after the commencement of any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of the Company (or, if returns on any portion of the Guarantied Amounts ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of said proceeding, such returns as would have accrued on such portion of the Guarantied Amounts if said proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guarantied Amounts because it is the intention of the Guarantor and the Beneficiaries that the Guarantied Amounts should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order that may relieve the Company of any portion of such Guarantied Amounts.

In the event that all or any portion of the Guarantied Amounts is paid by the Company, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) is rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments that are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guarantied Amounts.

Subject to the other provisions of this Section 1, upon the failure of the Company to pay any of the Guarantied Amounts when and as the same shall become due, the Guarantor will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the aggregate of the unpaid Guarantied Amounts. Such payments shall be made in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

(b) Anything contained in this Guaranty to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty and the other Related Documents shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any applicable provisions of comparable state or foreign law (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of the Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of the Guarantor (x) in respect of intercompany indebtedness to the Company or other affiliates of the Company to the extent that such indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by the Guarantor hereunder and (y) under any guaranty of subordinated indebtedness which guaranty contains a limitation as to maximum amount similar to that set forth in this Section 1(b), pursuant to which the liability of the Guarantor hereunder is included in the liabilities taken into account in determining such maximum amount) and after giving effect as assets to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution of the Guarantor pursuant to applicable law or pursuant to the terms of any agreement.

(c) The Guarantor under this Guaranty, and each guarantor under other guaranties, if any, relating to the Purchase Agreement (the “Related Guaranties”) that contain a contribution provision similar to that set forth in this Section 1(c), together desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty and the Related Guaranties. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by the Guarantor under this Guaranty or a guarantor under a Related Guaranty, the Guarantor or such other guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in the maximum amount permitted by law so as to maximize the aggregate amount of the Guarantied Amounts paid to the Beneficiaries.

2. Guaranty Absolute; Continuing Guaranty. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance that constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guarantied Amounts. In furtherance

of the foregoing, and without limiting the generality thereof, the Guarantor agrees that: (a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectibility; (b) any Beneficiary may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Purchase Agreement notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between the Company and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such event; (c) the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Company under the Purchase Agreement and the Related Documents and the obligations of any other guarantor of obligations of the Company and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against the Company or any of such other guarantors and whether or not the Company is joined in any such action or actions; and (d) the Guarantor’s payment of a portion, but not all, of the Guarantied Amounts shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge the Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guarantied Amounts that has not been paid. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall be binding upon the Guarantor and its successors and assigns, and the Guarantor irrevocably waives any right (including, without limitation, any such right arising under California Civil Code Section 2815) to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guarantied Amounts.

3. Actions by Beneficiaries. Any Beneficiary may from time to time, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability of this Guaranty or giving rise to any limitation, impairment or discharge of the Guarantor’s liability hereunder, (a) renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guarantied Amounts; (b) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guarantied Amounts or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (c) request and accept other guaranties of the Guarantied Amounts and take and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty or the Guarantied Amounts; (d) release, exchange, compromise, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guarantied Amounts, any other guaranties of the Guarantied Amounts, or any other obligation of any Person with respect to the Guarantied Amounts; (e) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of any Beneficiary in respect of this Guaranty or the Guarantied Amounts and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that the Beneficiaries, or any of them, may have against any such security, as the Beneficiaries in their discretion may determine consistent with the Purchase Agreement, the Related Documents and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable; and (f) exercise any other rights available to the Beneficiaries, or any of them, under the Purchase Agreement or the Related Documents, at law or in equity.

4. No Discharge. This Guaranty and the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any limitation, impairment or discharge for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guarantied Amounts), including without limitation the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not the Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (a) any failure to

assert or enforce or agreement not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guarantied Amounts or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guarantied Amounts; (b) any waiver or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions of the Purchase Agreement, any of the Related Documents or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guarantied Amounts; (c) the Guarantied Amounts, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (d) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guarantied Amounts, even though the Beneficiaries, or any of them, might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guarantied Amounts; (e) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral that secures any of the Guarantied Amounts; (f) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims that the Company may assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guarantied Amounts, including, but not limited to, failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (g) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guarantied Amounts.

5. Waivers. The Guarantor waives, for the benefit of the Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require the Beneficiaries, as a condition of payment or performance by the Guarantor, to (i) proceed against the Company, any other guarantor of the Guarantied Amounts or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Company, any other guarantor of the Guarantied Amounts or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of the Company or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the Company including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guarantied Amounts or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the Company from any cause other than payment in full of the Guarantied Amounts; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law that provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guarantied Amounts, except behavior that amounts to bad faith; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, that are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Guaranty and any legal or equitable discharge of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance of this Guaranty, notices of default under the Purchase Agreement or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal,

extension or modification of the Guarantied Amounts or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to the Company and notices of any of the matters referred to in Sections 3 and 4 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law that limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or that may conflict with the terms of this Guaranty.

As used in this paragraph, any reference to “the principal” includes the Company, and any reference to “the creditor” includes each Beneficiary. In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Civil Code, the Guarantor waives any and all rights and defenses available to the Guarantor by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil Code, including, without limitation, any and all rights or defenses the Guarantor may have because the Guarantied Amounts are or may be secured by real property. This means, among other things: (1) the creditor may collect from the Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the principal and (2) if the creditor forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by the principal: (A) the amount of the Guarantied Amounts may be reduced only by the price for which the collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price and (B) the creditor may collect from the Guarantor even if the creditor, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right the Guarantor may have to collect from the principal. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any right and defenses the Guarantor may have because the Guarantied Amounts are secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights and defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. The Guarantor also waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the creditor, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a Guarantied Amount, has destroyed the Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise; and even though that election of remedies by the creditor, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for an obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guarantied Amounts, has destroyed the Guarantor’s rights of contribution against such other guarantor. No other provision of this Guaranty shall be construed as limiting the generality of any of the covenants and waivers set forth in this paragraph.

6. Guarantor’s Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, Etc.; Subordination of Other Obligations. Until the Guarantied Amounts shall have been paid in full, the Guarantor shall withhold exercise of (a) any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that the Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against the Company or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by the Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute (including without limitation under California Civil Code Section 2847, 2848 or 2849), under common law or otherwise and including, without limitation, (i) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that the Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against the Company; (ii) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against the Company; and (iii) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any

collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary and (b) any right of contribution the Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any other guarantor of any of the Guarantied Amounts. The Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification the Guarantor may have against the Company or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution the Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights the Beneficiaries may have against the Company, to all right, title and interest the Beneficiaries may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right the Beneficiaries may have against such other guarantor.

Any indebtedness of the Company now or hereafter held by the Guarantor is subordinated in right of payment to the Guarantied Amounts, and any such indebtedness of the Company to the Guarantor collected or received by the Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and any amount paid to the Guarantor on account of any subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights referred to in the preceding paragraph when all Guarantied Amounts have not been paid in full, shall be held in trust for the Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to the Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guarantied Amounts.

7. Expenses. The Guarantor agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, on demand, and to save the Beneficiaries harmless against liability for, (i) any and all costs and expenses (including fees, costs of settlement and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) incurred or expended by any Beneficiary in connection with the enforcement of or preservation of any rights under this Guaranty and (ii) any and all costs and expenses (including those arising from rights of indemnification) required to be paid by the Guarantor under the provisions of the Purchase Agreement or any Related Document.

8. Financial Condition of Company. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation, and the Guarantor waives any duty on the part of any Beneficiary, to disclose or discuss with the Guarantor its assessment, or the Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of the Company or any matter or fact relating to the business, operations or condition of the Company. The Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from the Company on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of the Company and its ability to perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the Related Documents, and the Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Company and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guarantied Amounts.

9. Representations and Warranties. The Guarantor makes, for the benefit of the Beneficiaries, each of the representations and warranties made in the Purchase Agreement by the Company as to the Guarantor, its assets, financial condition, operations, organization, legal status, business and the Related Documents to which it is a party.

10. Covenants. The Guarantor agrees that, so long as any part of the Guarantied Amounts shall remain unpaid, the Guarantor will, unless the Majority Investors shall otherwise consent in writing, perform or observe, and cause its Subsidiaries to perform or observe, all of the terms, covenants and agreements that the Purchase Agreement and the Related Documents state that the Company is to cause the Guarantor and such Subsidiaries to perform or observe.

11. Set Off. In addition to any other rights any Beneficiary may have under law or in equity, if any amount shall at any time be due and owing by the Guarantor to any Beneficiary under this Guaranty, such Beneficiary is authorized at any time or from time to time, without notice (any such notice being expressly waived), to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness of such Beneficiary owing to the Guarantor and any other property of the Guarantor held by a Beneficiary to or for the credit or the account of the Guarantor against and on account of the Guarantied Amounts and liabilities of the Guarantor to any Beneficiary under this Guaranty.

12. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, and no consent to any departure by the Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Majority Investors and, in the case of any such amendment or modification, the Guarantor. Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 12 shall be binding upon each Beneficiary and each other holder of any Securities purchased under the Purchase Agreement at the time outstanding, each future holder of all such Securities and the Guarantor.

13. Miscellaneous. It is not necessary for the Beneficiaries to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Guarantor or the Company or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

The rights, powers and remedies given to the Beneficiaries by this Guaranty are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies given to the Beneficiaries by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in the Purchase Agreement or any of the Related Documents or any agreement between the Guarantor and one or more Beneficiaries or between the Company and one or more Beneficiaries. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay by any Beneficiary in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

In case any provision in or obligation under this Guaranty shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

THIS GUARANTY AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE GUARANTOR AND THE BENEFICIARIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.

This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of the Beneficiaries and their respective successors and assigns.

ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST THE GUARANTOR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, OR IN ANY FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE NORTHERN DISTRICT FOR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS GUARANTY THE GUARANTOR ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS AND WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY. The Guarantor agrees that service of all process in any such proceeding in any such court may be made by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the Guarantor at its address set forth below its signature hereto, such service being acknowledged by the Guarantor to be sufficient for personal jurisdiction in any action against the Guarantor in any such court and to be otherwise effective and binding service in every respect. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of any Beneficiary to bring proceedings against the Guarantor in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

THE GUARANTOR AND THE BENEFICIARIES EACH AGREE TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. THE GUARANTOR AND THE BENEFICIARIES EACH (I) ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE GUARANTOR AND THE BENEFICIARIES TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT THE GUARANTOR AND THE BENEFICIARIES HAVE ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS GUARANTY AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS, AND (II) FURTHER WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS

IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS OF THIS GUARANTY. In the event of litigation, this Guaranty may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

14. Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original for all purposes; but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

[Remainder of page intentionally left blank]

This Plan shall supersede any change in control or severance benefit plan, policy, or practice previously maintained by the Company, other than an individually negotiated contract or agreement with the Company relating to change in control or severance benefits that is in effect on the effective date of a Change in Control or an employee’s termination date which provides benefits that the Plan Administrator (as such term is defined below), in its sole discretion, determines to be of greater value than the benefits provided for in this Plan, in which case such employee’s change in control benefit or severance benefit, if any, shall be governed by the terms of such individually negotiated employment contract or agreement and shall be governed by this Plan only to the extent that the reduction pursuant to Section 5(b) below does not entirely eliminate benefits under this Plan. This Plan shall not supersede any benefit provided pursuant to an equity compensation plan or program maintained by the Company. This document also constitutes the Summary Plan Description for the Plan.

(iv) a relocation of an Eligible Employee’s business office to a location more than thirty-five (35) miles from the location at which the Eligible Employee performs duties as of the effective date of the Change in Control, except for required travel by the Eligible Employee on the Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with the Eligible Employee’s business travel obligations prior to the Change in Control.

SECTION 3. ELIGIBILITY FOR BENEFITS.

(a) General Rules. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 3 and Section 5, in the event of a Covered Termination, the Company shall provide the severance benefits described in Section 4 to each effected Eligible Employee.

(b) Exceptions to Benefit Entitlement. An employee, including an employee who otherwise is an Eligible Employee, will not receive benefits under the Plan (or will receive reduced benefits under the Plan) in the following circumstances, as determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion:

(i) With respect to the benefits provided pursuant to Section 4(a)(i):

(1) The employee has executed an individually negotiated employment contract or agreement with the Company relating to change in control benefits (except those provided pursuant to an equity compensation plan or program maintained by the Company) that is in effect on the effective date of a Change in Control and which provides benefits that the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, determines to be of greater value than the benefits provided for in this Plan, in which case such employee’s change in control benefit, if any, shall be governed by the terms of such individually negotiated employment contract or agreement and shall be governed by this Plan only to the extent that the reduction pursuant to Section 5(b) below does not entirely eliminate benefits under this Plan.

(ii) With respect to the benefits provided pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii):

(1) The employee has executed an individually negotiated employment contract or agreement with the Company relating to severance or change in control benefits (except those provided pursuant to an equity compensation plan or program maintained by the Company) that is in effect on his or her termination date and which provides benefits that the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, determines to be of greater value than the benefits provided for in this Plan, in which case such employee’s severance or change in control benefit, if any, shall be governed by the terms of such individually negotiated employment contract or agreement and shall be governed by this Plan only to the extent that the reduction pursuant to Section 5(b) below does not entirely eliminate benefits under this Plan.

(2) The employee is entitled to receive benefits under another severance benefit plan maintained by the Company (e.g., the Anesiva, Inc. Severance Benefit Plan).

(3) The employee’s employment terminates or is terminated for any reason other than a Covered Termination.

(4) The employee voluntarily terminates employment with the Company in order to accept employment with another entity that is controlled (directly or indirectly) by the Company or is otherwise an affiliate of the Company.

(5) The employee does not confirm in writing that he or she shall be subject to the Company’s proprietary information or confidentiality agreement with the Company.

(6) The employee is rehired by the Company prior to the date benefits under the Plan are scheduled to commence.

(7) The employee is offered an identical or substantially equivalent or comparable position with the Company or a successor pursuant to a Change in Control. For purposes of the foregoing, a “substantially equivalent or comparable position” is one that offers the employee substantially the same level of responsibility and compensation; provided, however, that an employee shall not be considered to be offered a “substantially equivalent or comparable position” if a voluntary termination by the employee would constitute Constructive Termination.

(c) Termination of Benefits. An Eligible Employee’s right to receive benefits under this Plan shall terminate immediately if, at any time prior to or during the period for which the Eligible Employee is receiving benefits hereunder, the Eligible Employee, without the prior written approval of the Plan Administrator:

(i) With respect to the benefits provided pursuant to Section 4(a)(i):

(1) willfully breaches a material provision of the Eligible Employee’s proprietary information or confidentiality agreement with the Company.

(ii) With respect to the benefits provided pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii):

(2) encourages or solicits any of the Company’s then current employees to leave the Company’s employ for any reason or interferes in any other manner with employment relationships at the time existing between the Company and its then current employees; or

(3) induces any of the Company’s then current clients, customers, suppliers, vendors, distributors, licensors, licensees or other third party to terminate their existing business relationship with the Company or interferes in any other manner with any existing business relationship between the Company and any then current client, customer, supplier, vendor, distributor, licensor, licensee or other third party.

SECTION 4. AMOUNT OF BENEFITS.

(a) Benefits. The Company shall provide benefits to each Eligible Employee in an amount equal to the greater of the amounts set forth in Section 4(a)(i) or 4(a)(ii) set forth below, as applicable.

(i) Cash Payment in a Change in Control. In the event a Change in Control occurs, the Company shall provide the benefits in this Section 4(a)(i).

(2) In the event Change in Control Proceeds are greater than $30,000,000 but less than or equal to $50,000,000, such Eligible Employee’s Pro Rata Amount of an aggregate of 10.0% of the Change in Control Proceeds;

(3) In the event Change in Control Proceeds are greater than $50,000,000 but less than or equal to $100,000,000, such Eligible Employee’s Pro Rata Amount of an aggregate of 11.0% of the Change in Control Proceeds; or

(4) In the event Change in Control Proceeds are greater than $100,000,000, such Eligible Employee’s Pro Rata Amount of an aggregate of 12.0% of the Change in Control Proceeds.

(ii) Benefits in Connection with a Covered Termination. In the event an Eligible Employee’s employment with the Company terminates due to a Covered Termination, the Company shall provide the benefits in this Section 4(a)(ii).

(1) Cash Severance Benefits. The Company shall make cash severance payments to each Eligible Employee in an amount equal to the following:

a. For the CEO (i) two times the Eligible Employee’s Base Salary, as in effect on the date of a Covered Termination, or, if higher, as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, plus (ii) the Eligible Employee’s maximum annual target cash bonus, as in effect on the date of a Covered Termination, or, if higher, as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control (the “Target Bonus”).

b. For officers other than the CEO (i) one times the Eligible Employee’s Base Salary, as in effect on the date of a Covered Termination, or, if higher, as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, plus (ii) the Eligible Employee’s Target Bonus, as defined above

(2) Health Continuation Coverage.

a. Provided that the Eligible Employee is eligible for, and has made an election at the time of the Covered Termination pursuant to COBRA under a health, dental, or vision plan sponsored by the Company, each such Eligible Employee shall be entitled to payment by the Company of all of the applicable premiums (inclusive of premiums for the Eligible Employee’s dependents for such health, dental, or vision plan coverage as in effect immediately prior to the date of the Covered Termination) for such health, dental, or vision plan coverage for a period of six (6) months following the date of the Covered Termination, with such coverage counted as coverage pursuant to COBRA.

b. No such premium payments (or any other payments for health, dental, or vision coverage by the Company) shall be made following the effective date of the Eligible Employee’s coverage by a health, dental, or vision insurance plan of a subsequent employer. Each Eligible Employee shall be required to notify the Plan Administrator immediately if the Eligible Employee becomes covered by a health, dental, or vision insurance plan of a subsequent employer. Upon the conclusion of such period of insurance premium payments made by the Company, the Eligible Employee will be responsible for the entire payment of premiums required under COBRA for the duration of the COBRA period.

c. For purposes of this Section 4(a)(ii)(2), (A) references to COBRA shall be deemed to refer also to analogous provisions of state law, and (B) any applicable insurance premiums that are paid by the Company shall not include any amounts payable by the Eligible Employee under an Internal Revenue Code Section 125 health care reimbursement plan, which amounts, if any, are the sole responsibility of the Eligible Employee.

(3) Outplacement Assistance. Each Eligible Employee shall receive outplacement services for a period of three months to assist the Eligible Employee in finding new employment. Such services shall commence not later than three months after the Eligible Employee’s termination date.

(4) Other Employee Benefits. All other benefits (such as life insurance, disability coverage, and 401(k) plan coverage) shall terminate as of the Eligible Employee’s termination date (except to the extent that a conversion privilege may be available thereunder).

(5) Additional Benefits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, provide benefits in addition to those pursuant to Sections 4(a)(ii)(1), 4(a)(ii)(2), and 4(a)(ii)(3) to Eligible Employees or employees who are not Eligible Employees (“Non-Eligible Employees”) chosen by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, and the provision of any such benefits to an Eligible Employee or a Non-Eligible Employee shall in no way obligate the Company to provide such benefits to any other Eligible Employee or to any other Non-Eligible Employee, even if similarly situated. If benefits under the Plan are provided to a Non-Eligible Employee, references in the Plan to “Eligible Employee” (with the exception of Sections 4(a)(ii)(1), 4(a)(ii)(2), and 4(a)(ii)(3)) shall be deemed to refer to such Non-Eligible Employee.

SECTION 5. LIMITATIONS ON BENEFITS.

(a) Release. In order to be eligible to receive benefits under Section 4 of the Plan, an Eligible Employee must execute a general waiver and release in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, Exhibit B, or Exhibit C, as appropriate, and such release must become effective in accordance with its terms. Unless a Change in Control has occurred, the Plan Administrator, in its discretion, may modify the form of the required release to comply with applicable law and shall determine the form of the required release, which may be incorporated into a termination agreement or other agreement with the Eligible Employee.

(b) Certain Reductions. The Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall have the authority to reduce an Eligible Employee’s benefits, in whole or in part, by any other benefits, pay in lieu of notice, or other similar benefits payable to the Eligible Employee by the Company that become payable in connection with a Change in Control or the Eligible Employee’s termination of employment pursuant to (i) any applicable legal requirement, including, without limitation, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (the “WARN Act”), (ii) a written employment or severance agreement with the Company, or (iii) any Company policy or practice providing for the Eligible Employee to remain on the payroll for a limited period of time after being given notice of the termination of the Eligible Employee’s employment. The benefits provided in Section 4(a)(ii) under this Plan are intended to satisfy, in whole or in part, any and all statutory obligations that may arise out of an Eligible Employee’s termination of employment, and the Plan Administrator shall so construe and implement the terms of the Plan. The Plan Administrator’s decision to apply such reductions to the severance benefits of one Eligible Employee and the amount of such reductions shall in no way obligate the Plan Administrator to apply the same reductions in the same amounts to the severance benefits of any other Eligible Employee, even if similarly situated. In the Plan Administrator’s sole discretion, such reductions may be applied on a retroactive basis, with severance benefits previously paid being re-characterized as payments pursuant to the Company’s statutory obligation.

(c) Parachute Payments. Except as otherwise provided in an agreement between an Eligible Employee and the Company, if any payment or benefit the Eligible Employee would receive in connection with a Change in Control from the Company or otherwise (“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in the Eligible Employee’s receipt of the greatest economic benefit notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction shall occur in a manner necessary to provide the Eligible Employee with the greatest economic benefit. If more than one manner of reduction of payments or benefits necessary to arrive at the Reduced Amount yields the greatest economic benefit, the payments and benefits shall be reduced pro rata.

(d) Mitigation. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, an Eligible Employee shall not be required to mitigate damages or the amount of any payment provided under this Plan by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment provided for under this Plan be reduced by any compensation earned by an Eligible Employee as a result of employment by another employer or any retirement benefits received by such Eligible Employee after the date of the Eligible Employee’s termination of employment with the Company, except for health continuation coverage provided pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii)(2).

(e) Non-Duplication of Benefits. Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, no Eligible Employee is eligible to receive benefits under this Plan more than one time. This Plan is designed to provide certain severance pay and change in control benefits to Eligible Employees pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Plan. The payments pursuant to this Plan are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any unpaid salary, bonuses or benefits to which an Eligible Employee may be entitled for the period ending with the Eligible Employee’s Covered Termination.

SECTION 6. TIME OF PAYMENT AND FORM OF BENEFITS.

(a) General Rules. The Plan Administrator reserves the right to determine whether cash severance benefits under the Plan pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii), if any, shall be paid in a single lump sum or in installments, or in any other form, and to choose the timing of such payments. Benefits pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) shall be paid on the same schedule and under the same terms and condition as apply to payments to secured debtholders and stockholders of the Company in the Change in Control. In no event shall payment of any benefit pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii) be made prior to the Eligible Employee’s termination date or prior to the effective date of the release described in Section 5(a).

(b) Application of Section 409A. In the event that (i) any benefit provided under Section 4(a)(i), (ii) cash severance benefit provided under Section 4(a)(ii)(1), (iii) the health continuation coverage provided under Section 4(a)(ii)(2), or (iv) the outplacement benefit provided under Section 4(a)(ii)(3), fails to satisfy the distribution requirement of Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, the payment of such benefit shall be accelerated to the minimum extent necessary so that the benefit is not subject to the provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code. (The payment schedule as revised after the application of the preceding sentence shall be referred to as the “Revised Payment Schedule.”) However, in the event the payment of benefits pursuant to the Revised Payment Schedule would be subject to Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code, the payment of such benefits shall not be paid pursuant to the original payment schedule or Revised Payment Schedule and instead the payment of such benefits shall be delayed to the minimum extent necessary so that such benefits are not subject to the provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code. The Plan Administrator may attach conditions to or adjust the amounts paid pursuant to this Section 6(b) to preserve, as closely as possible, the economic consequences that would have applied in the absence of this Section 6(b); provided, however, that no such condition shall result in the payments being subject to Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code. Payments pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) shall be paid, if at all, no later than five years after the consummation of the Change in Control. No Eligible Employee shall have the right to receive payments pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) more than five years after the consummation of the Change in Control. It is the intention that payments hereunder shall be paid pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(iv)(A). The Plan Administrator should interpret this Plan in compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

(c) Tax Withholding. All such payments under the Plan will be subject to applicable withholding for federal, state and local income and employment taxes.

(d) Indebtedness of Eligible Employees. If an Eligible Employee is indebted to the Company on the effective date of his or her Covered Termination, the Plan Administrator reserves the right to offset any severance payments under the Plan by the amount of such indebtedness.

SECTION 7. REEMPLOYMENT.

In the event of an Eligible Employee’s reemployment by the Company during the period of time in respect of which severance benefits pursuant to Sections 4(a)(ii)(1), 4(a)(ii)(2), and 4(a)(ii)(3) have been paid, the Plan Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, may require such Eligible Employee to repay to the Company all or a portion of such severance benefits as a condition of reemployment.

SECTION 8. RIGHT TO INTERPRET PLAN; AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION.

(a) Exclusive Discretion. The Plan Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion and authority to establish rules, forms, and procedures for the administration of the Plan, and to construe and interpret the Plan and to decide any and all questions of fact, interpretation, definition, computation or administration arising in connection with the operation of the Plan, including, but not limited to, the eligibility to participate in the Plan and amount of benefits paid under the Plan. The rules, interpretations, computations and other actions of the Plan Administrator shall be binding and conclusive on all persons.

(b) Amendment or Termination. The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate this Plan or the benefits provided hereunder at any time; provided, however, that no such amendment or termination shall occur following a Change in Control or a Covered Termination as to any Eligible Employee who would be adversely affected by such amendment or termination unless such Eligible Employee consents in writing to such amendment or termination. Any action amending or terminating the Plan shall be in writing and executed by the Plan Administrator.

SECTION 9. NO IMPLIED EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT.

The Plan shall not be deemed (i) to give any employee or other person any right to be retained in the employ of the Company, or (ii) to interfere with the right of the Company to discharge any employee or other person at any time, with or without cause, which right is hereby reserved.

SECTION 10. LEGAL CONSTRUCTION.

This Plan is intended to be governed by and shall be construed in accordance with ERISA and, to the extent not preempted by ERISA, the laws of the State of California.

SECTION 11. CLAIMS, INQUIRIES AND APPEALS.

SECTION 14. STATEMENT OF ERISA RIGHTS.

Participants in this Plan (which is a welfare benefit plan sponsored by Anesiva, Inc.) are entitled to certain rights and protections under ERISA. If you are an Eligible Employee, you are considered a participant in the Plan for the purposes of this Section 14 and, under ERISA, you are entitled to:

(a) Receive Information About Your Plan and Benefits

(i) Examine, without charge, at the Plan Administrator’s office and at other specified locations, such as worksites, all documents governing the Plan and a copy of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series), if applicable, filed by the Plan with the U.S. Department of Labor and available at the Public Disclosure Room of the Employee Benefits Security Administration;

(ii) Obtain, upon written request to the Plan Administrator, copies of documents governing the operation of the Plan and copies of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series), if applicable, and an updated (as necessary) Summary Plan Description. The Administrator may make a reasonable charge for the copies; and

(iii) Receive a summary of the Plan’s annual financial report, if applicable. The Plan Administrator is required by law to furnish each participant with a copy of this summary annual report.

(b) Prudent Actions By Plan Fiduciaries. In addition to creating rights for Plan participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the employee benefit plan. The people who operate the Plan, called “fiduciaries” of the Plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of you and other Plan participants and beneficiaries. No one, including your employer, your union or any other person, may fire you or otherwise discriminate against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining a Plan benefit or exercising your rights under ERISA.

(c) Enforce Your Rights.

(i) If your claim for a Plan benefit is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you have a right to know why this was done, to obtain copies of documents relating to the decision without charge, and to appeal any denial, all within certain time schedules.

(ii) Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce the above rights. For instance, if you request a copy of Plan documents or the latest annual report from the Plan, if applicable, and do not receive them within 30 days, you may file suit in a Federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the materials and pay you up to $110 a day until you receive the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the Plan Administrator.

(iii) If you have a claim for benefits which is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you may file suit in a state or Federal court.

(iv) If you are discriminated against for asserting your rights, you may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or you may file suit in a Federal court. The court will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees. If you are successful, the court may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees. If you lose, the court may order you to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds your claim is frivolous.

(d) Assistance With Your Questions. If you have any questions about the Plan, you should contact the Plan Administrator. If you have any questions about this statement or about your rights under ERISA, or if you need assistance in obtaining documents from the Plan Administrator, you should contact the nearest office of the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, listed in your telephone directory or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇.▇., ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇. You may also obtain certain publications about your rights and responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Employee Benefits Security Administration.

SECTION 15. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

(a) Notices. Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be given by either the Company or an Eligible Employee pursuant to the terms of this Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered personally or deposited in the U.S. mail, First Class with postage prepaid, and addressed to the parties, in the case of the Company, at the address set forth in Section 11(a) and, in the case of an Eligible Employee, at the address as set forth in the Company’s employment file maintained for the Eligible Employee as previously furnished by the Eligible Employee or such other address as a party may request by notifying the other in writing.

(b) Transfer and Assignment. The rights and obligations of an Eligible Employee under this Plan may not be transferred or assigned without the prior written consent of the Company. This Plan shall be binding upon any surviving entity resulting from a Change in Control and upon any other person who is a successor by merger, acquisition, consolidation or otherwise to the business formerly carried on by the Company without regard to whether or not such person or entity actively assumes the obligations hereunder.

(c) Waiver. Any Party’s failure to enforce any provision or provisions of this Plan shall not in any way be construed as a waiver of any such provision or provisions, nor prevent any Party from thereafter enforcing each and every other provision of this Plan. The rights granted the Parties herein are cumulative and shall not constitute a waiver of any Party’s right to assert all other legal remedies available to it under the circumstances.

(d) Severability. Should any provision of this Plan be declared or determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired.
