REVENUE PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT

This REVENUE PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT, dated as of March 29, 2012 (this “Agreement”), is made and entered into by and between SUNESIS PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”), on the one hand, and RPI FINANCE TRUST, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Buyer”), on the other hand.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Seller requires additional funding to develop and commercialize the Product in the Territory and the Buyer desires to provide the Seller with such additional funding; and

WHEREAS, the Buyer desires to purchase the Revenue Participation Right from the Seller in exchange for providing the additional funding, and the Seller desires to sell the Revenue Participation Right to the Buyer in exchange for receiving the additional funding, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Seller and the Buyer hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

PURCHASE, SALE AND ASSIGNMENT OF THE REVENUE PARTICIPATION RIGHT

Section 1.1 Purchase, Sale and Assignment. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement:

(a) Upon the occurrence of an Expansion of Enrollment Triggering Event or a Terminate for Efficacy Triggering Event, the Seller agrees to sell, transfer, assign and convey to the Buyer, and the Buyer agrees to purchase, acquire and accept from the Seller, the Revenue Participation Right free and clear of all Liens (except those Liens created in favor of the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement).

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Completion of the Study-as-Planned Triggering Event and during the [ * ] Business Day period thereafter, or if the Seller fails to comply with its obligations under Section 5.1(c) within the time periods set forth therein, then during such longer period as shall be required for the Seller to comply with such obligations, the Buyer shall have the option, in the Buyer’s sole discretion, to deliver written notice to the Seller of the Buyer’s intention to purchase, acquire and accept from the Seller, and upon the exercise of such option by the Buyer, the Seller agrees to sell, transfer, assign and convey to the Buyer, the Revenue Participation Right free and clear of all Liens (except those Liens created in favor of the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement).

Section 1.2 Purchase Price. At the Closing, the purchase price to be paid to the Seller for the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Revenue Participation Right to the Buyer is $25,000,000 in cash (the “Purchase Price”).

Section 1.3 Warrants. As additional consideration for the Buyer’s agreement to purchase, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Revenue Participation Right at the Closing following an Expansion of Enrollment Triggering Event, the Seller shall issue to the Buyer on the date hereof two (2) warrants to purchase Sunesis common stock (each, a “Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”), each in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto and having the following principal terms:

(a) Each Warrant shall entitle the Buyer to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Seller’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”).

(b) The per share exercise price of the first Warrant, exercisable for 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock, shall be equal to the greater of (i) 50% above the Fair Market Value of the Seller’s Common Stock and (ii) the Spot Price.

(c) The per share exercise price of the second Warrant, exercisable for 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock, shall be equal to the greater of (i) 100% above the Fair Market Value of the Seller’s Common Stock and (ii) the Spot Price.

(d) Each of the Warrants shall expire five (5) years from the Closing following an Expansion of Enrollment Triggering Event.

(e) Neither Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, unless and until the consummation of the Closing following an Expansion of Enrollment Triggering Event. If the DSMB issues a DSMB Terminate for Efficacy Notice, a DSMB Terminate for Futility Notice or a DSMB Continuation of the Study Notice, then the Warrants shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

Section 1.4 No Assumed Obligations, Etc. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Buyer is only agreeing, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to purchase, acquire and accept the Revenue Participation Right and purchasing, acquiring and accepting the Warrants and is not assuming any liability or obligation of the Seller of whatever nature, whether presently in existence or arising or asserted hereafter, under the Dainippon Agreement or otherwise.

Section 1.5 Security Interest. Subject to the Collateral Sharing Agreement:

(a) Effective from and after the Closing, the Seller hereby grants to the Buyer to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, including the payment of past and future Participation Payments and if applicable, the NPV Value, a continuing security interest in the Collateral, including the Product Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof. The Seller represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted

above shall, subject to Section 1.5(b) and Section 1.5(c), at all times continue to be a perfected security interest in the Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens.

(b) Effective immediately upon the Loan Repayment, (i) the Buyer’s Lien in all of the Released Collateral shall be released without any further action of any party and (ii) subject to Section 1.5(c), Buyer’s Lien in the Product Collateral shall continue as a first priority security interest junior only to Post-Security Interest Release Permitted Liens, provided that the Buyer agrees to perfect such security interest as set forth in Section 1.5(e). At the Seller’s expense, the Buyer shall, and hereby authorizes the Seller (or any agent of the Seller) to prepare and file, at any time within [ * ] Business Days following the Loan Repayment, all documents and take all other actions reasonably requested by the Seller to evidence the release of Buyer’s Lien on the Released Collateral.

(c) Upon the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a Seller Lien Release Triggering Event or (ii) the occurrence of an Acquiror Lien Release Triggering Event, the Buyer’s Lien in all of the Collateral (or, if either (i) or (ii) in this Section 1.5(c) occurs after the Loan Repayment, the Buyer’s Lien in all of the Product Collateral) shall be released without any further action of any party. At the Seller’s expense, the Buyer shall, and hereby authorizes the Seller (or any agent of the Seller) to prepare and file, at any time within [ * ] Business Days following the occurrence of either (i) or (ii) in this Section 1.5(c), all documents and take all other actions reasonably requested by the Seller to evidence the release of the Buyer’s Lien on the Collateral (or, if either (i) or (ii) in this Section 1.5(c) occurs after the Loan Repayment, to evidence the release of the Buyer’s Lien in all of the Product Collateral).

(d) Following the Seller’s failure to make full and prompt payment of any portion of the Payment Stream when due, but in any event subject to Section 5.4(c) (such failure, a “Payment Breach”), the Buyer shall be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies available under this Agreement including, without limitation, as set forth on Exhibit B which is hereby incorporated by reference into this Section 1.5 with the same force and effect as if set forth herein, but in any event subject to the terms of the Collateral Sharing Agreement. In addition and without limiting the foregoing, effective automatically upon the Seller failing to pay when due [ * ] consecutive Participation Payments to the Buyer (subject to extension of the due dates under Section 5.4(c)) (the date on which such second consecutive Participation Payment was due and payable, the “Mandatory Repurchase Offer Date”), the Seller shall, and shall be deemed to, have made an offer to the Buyer to repurchase the Revenue Participation Right (the “NPV Termination Offer”) and to terminate this Agreement for a repurchase price equal to the then net present value of the Payment Stream (the “NPV Value”). The NPV Termination Offer shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Buyer as of the Mandatory Repurchase Offer Date unless, within [ * ] days following such date, the Buyer shall have delivered written notice to the Seller declining the NPV Termination Offer. If the Buyer shall not have so declined the NPV Termination Offer, the Seller shall pay the NPV Value to the Buyer in cash, in a single payment, on the [ * ] calendar day following the Mandatory Repurchase Offer Date. The foregoing repurchase shall be on an “as is where is” basis without any express or implied representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever by the Buyer, in its capacity as seller under the foregoing repurchase. The parties hereto agree that the NPV Value shall be determined based upon (i) an

assumed discount rate of [ * ]% over the Prime Rate then in effect, (ii) the [ * ] of [ * ] and as [ * ] to [ * ], and (iii) [ * ] in the [ * ] for [ * ]. The Seller shall, [ * ] of [ * ] of the [ * ] by the [ * ], deliver a confidential copy of such [ * ] to Buyer for the sole purpose of documenting the NPV Value.

(e) The Seller hereby authorizes the Buyer to file financing statements or take any other action required to perfect the Buyer’s security interests (i) in the Collateral other than the Product Collateral, at any time during which the Collateral Sharing Agreement remains in effect, with notice to the Seller, or (ii) in the Product Collateral, at any time following the first Marketing Approval of the Product; in either case, in all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect the Buyer’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, except to the extent permitted by the terms of this Agreement, by the Seller, or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of the Buyer under the Code. The Seller further agrees to procure, deliver or execute and deliver to the Buyer, from time to time, all additional security agreements, instruments and documents, including the Intellectual Property Security Agreement, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer, to perfect or protect the Buyer’s security interests in the Collateral in accordance with this Section 1.5(e).

THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, including, without limitation, the mutual promises contained in the Participation Agreement, RPI Finance Trust (“Royalty Pharma,” together with any registered holder from time to time of this Warrant or any holder of the shares issuable or issued upon exercise of this Warrant, “Holder”) is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) at the Warrant Price, all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Article 2 of this Warrant, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant.

ARTICLE 1. EXERCISE.

1.1 Method of Exercise. Holder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part by delivering a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix 1 to

the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is exercising the conversion right set forth in Article 1.2, Holder shall also deliver to the Company a check, wire transfer (to an account designated by the Company), or other form of payment acceptable to the Company for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.

1.2 Conversion Right. In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified in Article 1.1, Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant, in whole or in part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair market value of the Shares or other securities otherwise issuable upon exercise of this Warrant minus the aggregate Warrant Price of such Shares by (b) the fair market value of one Share. The fair market value of the Shares shall be determined pursuant to Article 1.3.

1.3 Fair Market Value. The fair market value of each Share shall be the closing price of a share of Common Stock reported on the NASDAQ Capital Market for the business day immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company.

1.4 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder exercises or converts this Warrant and, if applicable, the Company receives payment of the aggregate Warrant Price, the Company shall deliver to Holder certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised or converted and has not expired, a new Warrant exercisable for the number of shares of Common Stock remaining available for purchase under this Warrant.

1.5 Replacement of Warrants. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.

1.6 Treatment of Warrant Upon Acquisition of Company.

1.6.1 “Acquisition”. For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means any sale, license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any reorganization, consolidation, or merger of the Company where the holders of the Company’s securities immediately before the transaction beneficially own less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity immediately after the transaction.

1.6.2 Treatment of Warrant at Acquisition.

A) Upon the written request of the Company, Holder agrees that, in the event of an Acquisition that is not an asset sale and in which the consideration is cash, Marketable Securities (as defined below), or a combination thereof, either (a) Holder shall exercise its conversion or purchase right under this Warrant and such exercise will be deemed effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Acquisition or (b) if Holder elects not to exercise the Warrant, this Warrant will expire upon the consummation of such Acquisition. The Company shall provide the Holder with written notice of its request relating to the foregoing (together with such reasonable information as the Holder may request in connection with such contemplated

Acquisition giving rise to such notice), which is to be delivered to Holder not less than [ * ] days prior to the closing of the proposed Acquisition.

B) Upon the written request of the Company, Holder agrees that, in the event of an Acquisition that is an “arms length” sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (and only its assets) to a third party that is not an Affiliate (as defined below) of the Company (a “True Asset Sale”), either (a) Holder shall exercise its conversion or purchase right under this Warrant and such exercise will be deemed effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Acquisition or (b) if Holder elects not to exercise the Warrant, this Warrant will continue until the Expiration Date if the Company continues as a going concern following the closing of any such True Asset Sale. The Company shall provide Holder with written notice of its request relating to the foregoing (together with such reasonable information as Holder may request in connection with such contemplated Acquisition giving rise to such notice), which is to be delivered to Holder not less than [ * ] days prior to the closing of the proposed Acquisition.

C) Upon the closing of any Acquisition other than those particularly described in subsections (A) and (B) above, the successor entity shall assume this Warrant, and shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Acquisition, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the successor entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such successor entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon the closing of the Acquisition, this Warrant shall be exercisable for, in lieu of the Shares, the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date of such Acquisition and subsequent closing. The Warrant Price and/or number and type of securities subject to this Warrant following such Acquisition shall be adjusted accordingly (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company).

As used herein (x) “Affiliate” shall mean any person or entity that owns or controls directly or indirectly ten (10) percent or more of the Common Stock, any person or entity that controls or is controlled by or is under common control with such persons or entities, and each of such person’s or entity’s officers, directors, joint venturers or partners, as applicable; and (y) “Marketable Securities” shall mean securities meeting all of the following requirements: (i) the issuer thereof is then subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is then current in its filing of all required reports and other information under the Act and the Exchange Act; (ii) the class and series of shares or other security of the issuer that would be received by Holder in connection with the Acquisition were Holder to exercise or convert this Warrant on or prior to the closing thereof is then traded on a national securities exchange or over-the-counter market; (iii) Holder would not be restricted by contract or by applicable federal or state securities laws from publicly re-selling, within six (6) months following the closing of such Acquisition, all of the issuer’s shares and/or other securities that would be received by Holder in such Acquisition were Holder to convert this Warrant pursuant to Section 1.2 above in full on or prior to the closing of such Acquisition; and (iv) the issuer has a market capitalization, as of the date immediately prior to and on the closing of such Acquisition of at least $200,000,000.

ARTICLE 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.

2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend on its Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or other securities of the Company, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend occurred. If the Company subdivides the shares of Common Stock by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment made pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend, and any adjustment pursuant to the second and third sentences of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

2.2 Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. Upon any changes in the Common Stock by reason of recapitalizations, reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, combinations, reorganizations, liquidations or similar transactions, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such event. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder an amendment to this Warrant setting forth the number and kind of such new securities or other property issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant as a result of such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant. The amendment to this Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 2 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new Warrant. The provisions of this Article 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.

2.3 Intentionally Omitted.

2.4 No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issuance, or sale of its securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out of all the provisions of this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder’s rights under this Article against impairment.

2.5 Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the

nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise or conversion of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share.

2.6 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company shall promptly notify Holder in writing, and, at the Company’s expense, promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Warrant Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant Price.

ARTICLE 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

3.1 Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants and covenants to Holder as follows: All Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase right represented by this Warrant, shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free of any liens and encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable federal and state securities laws.

3.2 Notice of Certain Events. If the Company proposes at any time (a) to declare any dividend or distribution upon any of its stock, whether in cash, property, stock, or other securities and whether or not a regular cash dividend; (b) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of any of its stock; or (c) to merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation, or sell, lease, license, or convey all or substantially all of its assets, or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up, then, in connection with each such event, the Company shall give Holder: (1) at least [ * ] days prior written notice of the date on which a record will be taken for such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock will be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote, if any, in respect of the matters referred to in (a) above; (2) in the case of the matters referred to in (b) and (c) above at least [ * ] days prior written notice of the date when the same will take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of common stock will be entitled to exchange their common stock for securities or other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice. Company will also provide information requested by Holder reasonably necessary to enable the Holder to comply with the Holder’s accounting or reporting requirements.

3.3 Reserved.

3.4 No Shareholder Rights. Except as provided in this Warrant, the Holder will not have any rights as a shareholder of the Company until the exercise of this Warrant.

ARTICLE 4. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OF THE HOLDER. The Holder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

4.1 Purchase for Own Account. This Warrant and the securities to be acquired upon exercise of this Warrant by the Holder will be acquired for investment for the Holder’s account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution within the

4.2 Disclosure of Information. The Holder has received or has had full access to all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the acquisition of this Warrant and its underlying securities.

4.5 The Act. The Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise or conversion hereof have not been registered under the Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Holder’s investment intent as expressed herein.

Exhibit B

Rights and Remedies of the Buyer

1.1 Rights and Remedies. The following rights and remedies granted to Buyer are subject to the Collateral Sharing Agreement.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Payment Breach, the Buyer may do any or all of the following: (i) deliver notice of the Payment Breach to the Seller or (ii) by notice to the Seller declining the NPV Termination Offer.

(b) Without limiting the rights of the Buyer set forth in Section 1.1(a) above, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Payment Breach, the Buyer shall have the right, without notice or demand, to do any or all of the following:

(i) foreclose upon and/or sell or otherwise liquidate, the Collateral; and/or

(ii) commence and prosecute an Insolvency Proceeding or consent to the Seller commencing any Insolvency Proceeding.

(iii) settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with any “account debtor” (used herein as defined in the Code) with respect to the Collateral for amounts on terms and in any order that the Buyer considers advisable, notify any Person owing the Seller money of the Buyer’s security interest in such funds, and verify the amount of such account;

(iv) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. The Seller shall assemble the Collateral if the Buyer requests and make it available in a location as the Buyer reasonably designates. The Buyer may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. The Seller grants the Buyer a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of the Buyer’s rights or remedies;

(v) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, and/or advertise for sale, the Collateral. The Buyer is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, the Seller’s labels, patents, copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property solely to the extent as each of the foregoing pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in

connection with the Buyer’s exercise of its rights under this Section 1.1 above, the Seller’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to the Buyer;

(vi) if at any time, the Buyer is the sole control party with respect to any deposit account constituting Collateral (e.g. a deposit account holding cash proceeds of any Product Collateral), the Buyer may deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;

(vii) demand and receive possession of the Seller’s books and records, records regarding the Seller’s assets or liabilities, the Collateral, business operations or financial condition, and all computer programs or storage or any equipment containing such information;

(viii) appoint a receiver to seize, manage and realize any of the Collateral, and such receiver shall have any right and authority as any competent court will grant or authorize in accordance with any applicable law; and

(ix) Subject to Sections 1.1(a) and (b) above, exercise all rights and remedies available to the Buyer under this Agreement or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).

1.2 Power of Attorney. Effective from and after the Closing, the Seller hereby irrevocably appoints the Buyer as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable, subject to the Collateral Sharing Agreement; provided that the Seller agrees that it shall not exercise its rights as the appointed lawful attorney-in-fact at any time prior to the Marketing Approval of the Product. Following Marketing Approval of the Product, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Payment Breach, Buyer, as the appointed lawful attorney-in-fact shall have the right to: (a) endorse the Seller’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign the Seller’s name on any invoice or ▇▇▇▇ of lading for any account or drafts against account debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms the Buyer determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under the Seller’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of the Buyer or a third party as the Code or any applicable law permits. The Seller hereby appoints the Buyer as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign the Seller’s name on any documents reasonably necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of the Buyer’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether a Payment Breach has occurred until all of the Seller’s obligations under this Agreement (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), including the payment of past and future Participation Payments or the NPV Termination Offer, if not rejected by the Buyer, have been satisfied in full. The Buyer’s foregoing appointment as the Seller’s attorney in fact, and all of the Buyer’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all of the Seller’s obligations under this Agreement (other than inchoate

indemnity obligations), including the payment of past and future Participation Payments or the NPV Termination Offer, if not rejected by the Buyer, have been satisfied in full; provided, however, that the Buyer shall exercise such rights in accordance with the Collateral Sharing Agreement.

1.3 Protective Payments. If the Seller fails to pay any amount which the Seller is obligated to pay to a Third Party with respect to the Product Collateral or any covenant of Seller under Section 5 of this Agreement, the Buyer may make such payment, and all amounts so paid by the Buyer are Buyer’s Remedy Expenses and immediately due and payable and secured by the Collateral. The Buyer will make reasonable efforts to provide the Seller with notice of the Buyer making such payment at the time it is obtained or paid or within a reasonable time thereafter. No such payments by the Buyer are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or the Buyer’s waiver of any Payment Breach.

1.4 Application of Payments and Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Payment Breach, subject to the Collateral Sharing Agreement, the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied: first, to the Buyer’s Remedy Expenses; and second, to all of the Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, including the payment of past and future Participation Payments or the NPV Termination Offer, if not rejected by the Buyer.

1.5 Liability for Collateral. So long as the Buyer employs reasonable practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of the Buyer, (i) the Buyer shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person; and (ii) the Seller bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

1.6 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. The Buyer’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by the Seller of any provision of this Agreement shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of the Buyer thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the Buyer and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. The Buyer’s rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative. The Buyer has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, any applicable law, by law, or in equity. The Buyer’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and the Buyer’s waiver of any Payment Breach is not a continuing waiver. The Buyer’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT

This Master Services Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into as of November 3, 2003 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Sunesis Pharmaceuticals Incorporated, a Delaware corporation with an office at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (hereinafter the “Client”) and AAI Developmental Services Inc. with an office at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (hereinafter “AAI”). The Client and AAI are referred to singly as “Party” and jointly as “Parties” throughout this Agreement.

WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, AAI is in the business of providing certain drug product stability, analytical and manufacturing services, preclinical drug development, quality assurance and regulatory consulting, bioanalytical testing, and design and management of clinical trials, including monitoring, data management, biostatistical, and reporting services for the pharmaceutical industry (hereinafter, “Services”); and

WHEREAS, AAI represents that it has the necessary personnel, expertise, facilities and experience to provide such Services to the Client;

WHEREAS, AAI and Client desire to enter into this Agreement to provide the terms and conditions upon which Client may engage AAI, from time to time and agreed to by AAI, to provide services for individual projects in accordance with mutually agreed upon Work Orders (as defined below) specifying the details of the services and the related terms and conditions.

NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth hereinafter and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

SCOPE OF AGREEMENT AND WORK/CHANGE ORDERS

1.1	This Agreement allows the Parties to contract for multiple projects through the issuance of individual Work Orders (as discussed below) without having to re-negotiate the basic terms and conditions contained herein.

1.2

The specific duties and responsibilities for each project under this Agreement (each a “Project”) shall be separately negotiated and specified in writing on terms, and in a format, mutually agreed upon and executed by the Parties (each such writing, a “Work Order”). Each work Order shall include (i) the scope and specification of the Project; (ii) deliverables and timelines; (iii) any performance metrics; and (iv) a budget and payment schedule. Any material change in the details of a Work Order shall require a written amendment to the Work Order, mutually agreed upon and executed by the Parties (a “Change Order”).

1.3	Any and all Work Orders or Change Orders issued and executed pursuant to this Agreement will be made part hereof and incorporated herein by reference, and shall be

subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Any and all Work Orders or Change Orders shall also be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the quality requirements agreement to be completed and executed by the parties and attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Quality Agreement”), unless otherwise expressly set forth in the Work Order or Change Order. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to finalize and execute the Quality Agreement within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date. To the extent there is any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement, the Quality Agreement and a Work Order and/or Change Order, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern.

1.4	Services provided by AAI shall comply with all applicable Good Laboratory Practices, current Good Manufacturing Practices, Good Clinical Practices, and all other United States governmental and regulatory standards, specifications and guidelines, as specified in the Quality Agreement.

1.5

The Parties understand that AAI shall use commercially reasonable efforts to initiate, conduct and complete the Services as set forth in a Work Order in a timely fashion. The Client understands and agrees that completing the Services as set forth in a Work Order assumes the full cooperation of the Client as well as other third parties.

ARTICLE II

PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION

2.1	Prior to AAI’s commencement of Services hereunder, the Parties shall execute one or more Work Orders. The Client’s execution of a Work Order will be deemed its authorization for AAI to proceed under the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Quality Agreement, if applicable.

2.2	AAI shall utilize commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Services as agreed in the Work Order and, if necessary, any associated Change Order.

2.3

The Parties recognize that in certain instances, the Client may wish AAI to commence Services prior to the formal execution of a Work Order authorizing such Services. In such circumstances, the Client may authorize AAI in writing (hereinafter, “Letter of Authorization”) to commence specified Services pending execution of the relevant Work Order. The Letter of Authorization shall specify the Services to be performed and a dollar limitation for the performance of such Services.

2.4

AAI shall use commercially reasonable efforts to anticipate the scope of activities necessary to complete Services established by a Work Order. However, Work Orders constitute both Parties’ informed estimate of those Services necessary to satisfactorily complete a Project and are based upon the Parties’ current knowledge of the factual situation as well as the current regulatory environment. Therefore, the scope of proposed Services may require modification of the Work Order during the course of performance. In the event additional or different Services are required, the Client’s authorized

representative, as set forth in Article VIII, may in writing authorize AAI to perform additional or different Services. AAI shall promptly acknowledge the Client’s written authorization by issuing a Change Order for such additional or different Services.

2.5

AAI will use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the agreed upon Project within the limits set forth in the executed Work Order or Change Order. However, the Parties recognize that the Services to be provided hereunder are not subject to precise advance determination, In the event unforeseen difficulties arise, AAI shall inform the Client, outlining the basis for such conclusion. In such event, the Parties agree to enter into good faith negotiations regarding the terms of the Work Order applicable to the Project.

ARTICLE III

PAYMENT FOR SERVICES RENDERED

3.1	The Client agrees to pay for Services according to a properly authorized Work Order, Change Order, or Letter of Authorization.

3.2

The Client will reimburse AAI for reasonable and customary out-of-pocket expenses including any appropriate handling fees (not including any supplies and services as set forth in Article 3.3 herein) incurred in connection with the performance of the Services set forth in the Work Order provided that AAI obtains the Client’s approval prior to incurring such expenditures and that AAI provides the Client with documentation of such approved expenditures, if requested. AAI shall invoice the Client for such expenses at cost.

3.3

Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing in a Work Order or Change Order, AAI shall charge the Client a fifteen percent (15%) handling fee for all supplies, materials or services acquired for or on behalf of the Client to satisfactorily complete the Services as set forth in the Work Order or Change Order.

3.4	AAI shall not engage any third party for any of the Services as set forth in the Work Order or Change Order without the prior written consent of the Client.

3.5

If the Client delays or temporarily halts a Project after such Project has commenced for reasons beyond the reasonable control of AAI, a monthly fee will be assessed to compensate AAI for reasonable and actual time and expenses incurred related to such delay including the storage of Client’s samples and materials. AAI shall provide an itemized description of such expenses, and shall invoice the Client for such expenses at cost. The Client will pay the expenses associated with such invoices in accordance with Article 3.6 herein.

3.6	Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, AAI shall invoice the Client on a calendar month basis for Services rendered as set forth in the Work Order. Invoices are due and payable net thirty (30) days after Client’s receipt of invoice. All payments to

AAI shall be made in U.S. dollars. Invoice balances not remitted within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoice shall be subject to a one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month interest charge. Should any part of the invoice be in dispute, the Client shall pay any undisputed amount according to the terms and conditions described herein while said dispute is being resolved.

ARTICLE IV

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

4.1

Any invention, trade secret or know-how and any materials, documents, programs or information belonging to Client and supplied to AAI by Client pursuant to this Agreement shall remain the property of Client. Any invention, trade secret or know-how and any materials, documents, programs or synthesis information belonging to AAI prior to the date of this Agreement, or developed by AAI independently of this Agreement, i.e. not falling within Article 4.2 below, shall remain the property of AAI.

4.2

Any inventions (whether or not patentable), processes, techniques, improvements, discoveries, trade secrets, know-how and developments discovered and reduced to practice by AAI solely or jointly for the purpose of performing the Services or other work performed under a Project (collectively, “Project IP”) are hereby assigned to Client (including any patent and all other intellectual property rights therein), and shall be deemed the Confidential Information of Client for purposes of Article V below (“Project IP”). AAI will, at the expense and the written request of the Client, do all reasonable acts and things and execute all documents as the Client may reasonably request to transfer to and vest in the Client the ownership and registration of all intellectual property rights that may exist in such Project IP.

4.3

With respect to Project IP, AAI will not, to its actual knowledge, incorporate or use therein any invention, discovery, process, technology or information that (a) is covered in whole or in part by a claim of any patent application or issued patent that is owned or controlled by AAI, but not assigned to Client pursuant to Article IV (“AAI Background Patent Rights”), (b) is covered in whole or in part by a claim of any patent or patent application of a third party, or c) incorporates any AAI processes, inventions, techniques, know-how, or trade secrets that is owned or controlled by AAI, but not assigned to Client pursuant to Article IV (“AAI Background Know-How”). In the event any Project IP incorporates or requires the use of AAI Background Patent Rights or AAI Background Know-How (collectively, “AAI Proprietary Technology”), AAI shall notify Client thereof and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms of an appropriate license agreement for such AAI Proprietary Technology, with such license agreement memorialized in a separate writing.

4.4

The Client acknowledges that AAI is in the business of providing Services for a variety of organizations other than the Client. Accordingly, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude or limit AAI from providing Services or developing materials for itself or other clients, or from utilizing the general knowledge gained during the course of its

performance hereunder to perform similar Services for other clients, provided that such provision of Services or development of materials do not constitute a breach of confidentiality under Article V herein.

ARTICLE V

CONFIDENTIALITY

5.1

During the performance of Services and the Term of this Agreement, AAI may receive from Client confidential or proprietary information, including information concerning Client’s regulatory submissions, data, testing and research techniques, inventions, materials, processes, practices, trade secrets and like information (collectively “Confidential Information”). Client agrees that it will only provide such Confidential Information to the extent that it is required by AAI to perform Services. For the avoidance of doubt, the following shall in all cases be treated as Confidential Information hereunder: (i) all samples of chemical compounds and data related thereto, (ii) all Confidential Information provided under the parties’ prior Non-Disclosure Agreement dated September 9, 2003, and (iii) all of the data and Project IP which were developed or generated by AAI for the Client, or any methodologies, technology, or assays developed by AAI for the Client. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of this Article V shall not apply in the case of:

(i)

information of the Client which is now in the public domain or which subsequently enters the public domain without fault on the part of AAI; or

(ii)

information of the Client which is presently known by AAI from its own sources where said present knowledge can be demonstrated by written records; or

(iii)

information of the Client which AAI receives in good faith from a third party where said third party is independent of the Client and is under no obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information; or

(iv)

information developed by or for AAI independent of the Projects and without the use of any Confidential Information of Client, as evidenced by AAI’s written records; or

(v)

information disclosed by AAI as required by law pursuant to an appropriate legal order by a court or government agency having the authority to compel such disclosure; however, in such case, AAI shall notify the Client of such order compelling disclosure, and where possible, reasonably cooperate with the Client to provide it with the opportunity to take appropriate legal action to safeguard said information.

5.2	AAI agrees that without the express written consent of Client, it will not itself use, or provide to, disclose to, or permit any third party to use said Confidential Information. AAI agrees to take reasonable and appropriate measures to safeguard Confidential

Information from theft, loss or negligent disclosure to others and to limit access internally to Confidential Information to those of its employees, consultants, agents or subcontractors who reasonably require such access in order to accomplish performance of the Services. AAI has had or will have all employees, consultants, agents or subcontractors of AAI who have access to Confidential Information sign a confidentiality agreement with provisions no less protective of Confidential Information than this Article V prior to having access to Confidential Information or undertaking the Services. Unless otherwise consented to by Client in wilting or provided for in a Work Order, AAI agrees not to analyze for chemical composition any samples or materials provided by Client, nor to allow or cause any such samples or materials to be released to third-parties for analysis. AAI shall not use, or disclose to Client, hereunder any information it knows to be Confidential Information of a third party except as approved in advance in writing by Client. AAI agrees to notify Client promptly of the date of, and the circumstances involved in, the loss or unauthorized disclosure of any Confidential Information of Client.

5.3

Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement or completion or termination of any Work Order and/or any Change Order and at the written direction of the Client, AAI will promptly return all Client Confidential Information, including any documents prepared by AAI that contain such information. AAI may retain a single archival copy of the Confidential Information for the sole purpose of determining the scope of obligations incurred under this Agreement. The obligations of this Article V shall commence on the Effective Date and survive for a period of five (5) years from the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

5.4	The Parties agree that they shall not use the other Party’s name, or disclose any matters relating to the Services provided hereunder in any advertising, promotion, written articles or communications without the prior written consent of the other Party.

ARTICLE VI

EXCEPT AS SET FORTH HEREIN, AAI EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE (REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT AAI KNOWS OR HAS REASON TO KNOW OF SUCH PURPOSE) AND ANY WARRANTIES OF TITLE OR NONINFRINGEMENT.
