(f) Secured Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or otherwise arising are cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.

SECURED PARTY SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED ANY OF ITS RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY OTHER AGREEMENT, INSTRUMENT OR PAPER SIGNED BY DEBTOR UNLESS SUCH WAIVER IS EXPRESSED IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY SECURED PARTY.

ADDENDUM NO. 001
DATED AS OF DECEMBER 8, 2003
THIS ADDENDUM NO. 001 (this “Addendum No. 001”) made as of the 23rd day of March, 2006, amends and supplements the above referenced agreement (the “Agreement”), between General Electric Capital Corporation (together with its successors and assigns, if any, “Secured Party”) and Aveo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Debtor”) and is hereby incorporated into the Agreement as though fully set forth therein. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.
The Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following:
FINANCIAL COVENANTS.
(a) Debtor shall, at all times during the term of the Agreement, comply with the following:
Maintain minimum Unrestricted Cash (as defined below) equal to the greater of $12,000,000.00 or 9 months of Monthly Cash Burn (as defined below).
Unrestricted Cash shall be defined as cash on hand plus investments in marketable securities with maturities of less than thirty-six (36) months, less such cash pledged to other parties and any contingent liability associated with similar cash covenants under leases, loans or other financial arrangements.
Monthly Cash Burn shall be defined as the sum of net income plus non-cash charges plus the change in deferred revenue for the most recent 6 months ended divided by 6, minus current portions of long-term debt divided by 12. Long-term debt shall include indebtedness for borrowed money.
If this covenant is violated it shall not be an event of default provided Debtor provides Secured Party within ten (10) days of such occurrence an irrevocable non-declining Letter of Credit or cash Security Deposit (which shall be held pursuant to the terms of the agreement attached as Exhibit A) in the amount of 70% of the total outstanding balance of Secured Party’s loan as of the date of the violation; provided that any such Letter of Credit or Security Deposit shall be returned or released and the Letter of Credit be terminated if the Debtor thereafter provides financial statements that demonstrate that Debtor has an amount of Unrestricted Cash equal to 18 months of Monthly Cash Burn. In no event, will the Letter of Credit or Security Deposit held be greater than the outstanding balance of the Secured Party’s loan.
(b) COMPLIANCE REPORTS. Debtor’s Authorized Representative shall certify periodically that Debtor is in compliance with the requirements of subsection (a) above. Such notification and certification shall be provided within thirty (30) days after the end of each fiscal quarter (the “Compliance Date”), reflecting such information as of the end of such fiscal quarter. If Debtor fails timely to provide such notification and compliance certificates, within fifteen (15) days after the Compliance Date, such failure shall be deemed a default under the Agreement if not cured within two (2) business days after written notice from Secured Party. The reports required under this section are in addition to and not a substitute for the reports required under the REPORTS Section of the Agreement.
Except as expressly modified hereby, all terms and provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. This Addendum No. 001 is not binding or effective with respect to the Agreement until executed on behalf of Secured Party and Debtor by authorized representatives of Secured Party and Debtor.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Debtor and Secured Party have caused this Addendum No. 001 to be executed by their duly authorized representatives as of the date first above written.
