ASSET TRANSFER AND LICENSE AGREEMENT

This Asset Transfer and License Agreement is made as of November 20, 2007 between Anza Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Anza ”), and Cerus Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ Cerus ”). Anza and Cerus are each referred to herein as a “ Party ” and collectively as the “ Parties .”

RECITALS

A. Cerus is engaged in the Business.

B. Anza desires to acquire, and Cerus desires to transfer to Anza, Cerus’ rights to the tangible and intangible assets, and to license to Anza certain intangible assets, used in the conduct of the Business and necessary for Anza to conduct the Business following the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

C. The Parties intend that the issuance of the Series AA Shares to Cerus in partial consideration for the transfer of the Transferred Assets, when taken together with the issuance of shares of Anza’s Series A Preferred Stock to certain investors on the date hereof, shall qualify as an exchange within the meaning of Section 351 of the Code.

Now, therefore, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements set forth herein and the mutual benefits to be gained by the performance thereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and accepted, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

TRANSFER OF ASSETS AND GRANT OF LICENSES; ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES; CONSIDERATION; CLOSING

SECTION 2.1 Transfer of Assets . Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Cerus hereby conveys, assigns and transfers to Anza, and Anza hereby acquires from Cerus, free and clear of any Encumbrances (other than Encumbrances arising under the Transferred Contracts), all of Cerus’ right, title and interest in and to the following assets (collectively, the “ Transferred Assets ”):

(a) the Transferred Intellectual Property;

(b) the Transferred Contracts;

(c) the Transferred Tangible Assets;

(d) the Transferred Regulatory Submissions;

(e) the Transferred Grants;

(f) the Transferred Books and Records; and

(g) all rights, claims, causes of action and credits, including all guarantees, warranties, indemnities, rights of set-off and similar rights, in favor of Cerus to the extent relating to any of the foregoing Transferred Assets or any Assumed Liability, other than such rights, claims, causes of action and credits to the extent relating to any Retained Liability, including, without limitation, all causes of action for past misappropriation or infringement of any Transferred Intellectual Property and rights to damages and other remedies for past misappropriation or infringement of any Transferred Intellectual Property.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Transferred Tangible Assets are being assigned, transferred and conveyed to Anza “as is,” “where is” and “with all faults,” with no representations or warranties as to merchantability, fitness or use, except as set forth in Article III.

The transfer of the Transferred Assets pursuant to this Agreement shall not include the assumption of any Liability related to the Transferred Assets that arose (including payments that became due) prior to the Effective Time unless Anza expressly assumes that Liability pursuant to Section 2.4(a).

SECTION 2.2 Assignability and Consents . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the conveyance, assignment, transfer or delivery or attempted conveyance, assignment, transfer or delivery to Anza of any Transferred Asset is (a) prohibited by any applicable Law or (b) would require any authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers from a third party to convey, assign, transfer or deliver such Transferred Asset and such authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers have not been obtained prior to the Closing Date (each, a “ Non-Assignable Asset ”), in either case, the Closing shall proceed (subject to the Parties’ rights under Article VI), but the Closing shall not constitute the conveyance, assignment, transfer or delivery of such Non-Assignable Asset, and this Agreement shall not constitute a conveyance, assignment, transfer or delivery of such Non-Assignable Asset unless and until such authorization, approval, consent or waiver is obtained. After the Closing, the Parties shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate with each other, without additional consideration, to obtain any such authorization, approval, consent or waiver as promptly as practicable. Once authorization, approval or waiver of or consent for the conveyance, assignment, transfer or delivery of any such Non-Assignable Asset not conveyed, assigned, transferred or delivered at the Closing is obtained, Cerus shall convey, assign, transfer and deliver such Non-Assignable Asset to Anza at no additional cost to Anza. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Anza shall not assume any Liabilities with respect to a Non-Assignable Asset until it has been conveyed, assigned, transferred and delivered to Anza except to the extent related to any rights and/or benefits obtained by Anza pursuant to such Non-Assignable Asset. In addition, for so long as a Transferred Contract remains a Non-Assignable Asset, Cerus agrees to cooperate with Anza, as reasonably requested in writing by Anza, to extend and make available to Anza any rights and/or benefits available under such contract, provided that Anza pays all amounts and fulfills all obligations arising from or associated with such Non-Assignable Assets, other than to the extent such amounts or obligations would constitute a Retained Liability if such Non-Assignable Asset were conveyed, assigned, transferred or delivered on the Closing Date. Without limiting the foregoing, (a) upon the written request of Anza, Cerus agrees to exercise rights (for example, elections or options) on Anza’s behalf under such contract, at Anza’s expense, provided that all Liabilities resulting from the exercise of such rights shall be Liabilities solely of Anza, and Cerus shall not exercise any of its rights under such contract unless requested or approved in writing by Anza, (b) Cerus shall keep Anza informed as to Cerus’ written communications from the other party to such contract, including notifying Anza in the event Cerus is notified with respect to matters that require Cerus’ consent (or which trigger an option or an election by Cerus) under such contract, or regarding matters that affect Cerus’ or Anza’s rights thereunder, (c) to the extent that Anza obtains the agreement of the other party to such contract to modify, amend or otherwise alter or waive any performance, obligation or provision of such contract, Cerus agrees to take such actions and execute such documents as Anza may reasonably request in writing to effect the same, at Anza’s expense, provided that all Liabilities resulting from such modification, amendment, alteration or waiver shall be Liabilities solely of Anza, and (d) in the event that Anza obtains an agreement from the other party to such contract to transfer the rights under such contract directly to Anza, Cerus shall transfer such rights to Anza in a writing reasonably acceptable to Anza.

SECTION 2.3 Grant of License .

(a) To Anza . Cerus hereby grants to Anza a worldwide, irrevocable (except pursuant to Section 2.3(d)) license, with the right to grant and authorize sublicenses, under the Licensed Intellectual Property, to make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell, and import products (including [ * ] Products), to practice any method, process or procedure, and to otherwise exploit the Licensed Intellectual Property, in each case within the Anza Field of Use. For clarity, it is understood that the foregoing licenses shall include the right to make or have made S-59 Psoralen. Such license shall be exclusive (even as to Cerus), except to the extent provided in Section 2.3(b) below with respect to certain uses of the Licensed Know-How.

(b) Cerus’ Retained Rights . Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that Cerus retains the non-exclusive right to use and exploit the Licensed Know-How (but not the Licensed [ * ] Patent Rights) within the Anza Field of Use for purposes other than products involving [ * ] .

(c) Rights in Bankruptcy . All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by Cerus to Anza are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and other similar foreign laws, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or such foreign laws. Anza, as a licensee of rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and other similar foreign laws.

(d) Termination .

(i) If Anza commits a Fundamental Breach (as defined in Section 2.3(d)(iv)), then Cerus may deliver notice of such Fundamental Breach to Anza. If Anza fails to cure such Fundamental Breach within sixty (60) days after such notice or to provide written notice to Cerus within such sixty (60) day period that Anza disputes such claim of Fundamental Breach, then Cerus may terminate the license set forth in Section 2.3(a) upon written notice to Anza.

(ii) If Cerus gives notice of Fundamental Breach under this Section 2.3(d) and Anza disputes such claim of Fundamental Breach and provides Cerus with written notice of such dispute within sixty (60) days after Cerus’ notice of a Fundamental Breach, then the issue of whether a Fundamental Breach has occurred shall be resolved as follows:

(1) The arbitration shall be conducted by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (or any successor entity thereto) (“ JAMS ”) under its rules of arbitration then in effect, except as modified herein. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language, by a single arbitrator. The Parties and the arbitrator shall use all reasonable efforts to complete any such arbitration within six (6) months from the issuance of notice of a referral of any such dispute to

arbitration. The arbitrator shall determine what discovery shall be permitted, consistent with the goal of limiting the cost and time which the Parties must expend for discovery, provided that the arbitrator shall permit such discovery as he or she deems necessary to permit an equitable resolution of the dispute.

(2) The Parties agree that the decision of the arbitrator shall be the sole, exclusive and binding remedy between them regarding the dispute presented to the arbitrator. Any decision of the arbitrator may be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction for judicial recognition of the decision and an order of enforcement. The arbitration proceedings and the decision of the arbitrator shall be deemed Proprietary Information of the Parties under this Agreement.

(3) Unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Parties, the arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in San Francisco, California. The Parties agree that they shall share equally the cost of the arbitration filing and hearing fees and the cost of the arbitrator and administrative fees of JAMS. Each Party shall bear its own costs and attorneys’ and witnesses’ fees and associated costs and expenses.

(iii) If as a result of such dispute resolution process it is determined that Anza committed a Fundamental Breach, then Anza shall have sixty (60) days after such determination to cure such Fundamental Breach. If such Fundamental Breach is not cured by the end of such sixty (60) day period, then Cerus may terminate the license set forth in Section 2.3(a) upon written notice to Anza and Cerus shall have the sole and exclusive right to exploit the Licensed Intellectual Property without any limitation under this Agreement. If such Fundamental Breach is cured within such sixty (60) day period, then Cerus shall not have the right to terminate such license on account of such Fundamental Breach.

(iv) For the purposes of this Section 2.3(d), a “ Fundamental Breach ” shall mean (a) any failure by Anza to timely pay one or more amounts due to Cerus pursuant to this Agreement that individually or collectively [ * ] , (b) any failure by Anza to timely issue or deliver to Cerus any shares of Anza’s Preferred Stock due to Cerus pursuant to this Agreement, (c) any failure by Anza to satisfy any Assumed Liability in an amount [ * ] , in accordance with Section 7.2(b)(iii), or (d) any failure by Anza to comply with the indemnification obligations set forth in Section 7.2(b) for an amount [ * ] .

SECTION 2.4 Liabilities .

(a) Assumed Liabilities . On the Closing Date, Anza shall assume and agree to discharge only (i) Liabilities arising from and after the Effective Time under any Transferred Contract, including all payments due after the Effective Time, but excluding any Liability to the extent arising out of or relating to a breach of a Transferred Contract that occurred prior to the Effective Time, (ii) any Liability for Taxes attributable to the Transferred Assets but only to the extent provided in Section 5.14 and (iii) all Liabilities related to or arising from the operation of the Business from and after the Effective Time or the ownership of the Transferred Assets from and

The non-Controlling Party shall cooperate fully with the Controlling Party, including, either as required by law or at the request of the Controlling Party, by joining as a nominal party and executing such documents as may reasonably be required, all at the expense of the Controlling Party. In any case, the non-Controlling Party shall have the right, in the event it is not required or requested to be joined, to participate in any Infringement Action with counsel of its own choice at its own expense.

Any recovery obtained by Anza or Cerus as a result of an Infringement Action shall be shared as follows:

expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such Infringement Action (and if the amount of the recovery is less than the total amounts in clause (i) above and this clause (ii), then the Parties shall share such recovery in proportion to the amounts to be reimbursed under such clauses (i) and (ii));

(iii) if Anza is the Controlling Party, then Anza shall pay Cerus, within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such recovery, an amount equal to [ * ] of such recovery, and the amount of any recovery remaining after such payment shall be retained by Anza; and

(iv) if Cerus is the Controlling Party, then [ * ] of the amount of any recovery remaining shall be retained by Cerus and [ * ] of the amount of any recovery remaining shall be delivered to Anza within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such recovery.

SECTION 5.12 Defense of Infringement Claims . If any product or activity covered by the Licensed [ * ] Patent Rights becomes the subject of a claim or assertion of infringement of Patent Rights of a Third Party, the Party first having notice of the claim or assertion shall promptly notify the other Party, and the Parties shall promptly confer to consider the claim or assertion and the appropriate course of action. Unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing, each Party shall have the right to defend itself against a suit that names such Party as a defendant; provided that the other Party shall have the right to join such suit at its own expense if such suit pertains to or has a reasonably anticipatable impact on such other Party’s rights with respect to the Licensed [ * ] Patent Rights. Neither Party shall enter into any settlement of any action described in this Section 5.12, or otherwise consent to an adverse judgment in any such action, that imposes a financial obligation on the other Party, or that admits the infringement of any Patent Rights of a Third Party, without the other Party’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In any event, each Party shall reasonably assist the other Party and cooperate in connection with any litigation described in this Section 5.12 in which such Party is not named as a defendant, at the defending Party’s request and expense. If Anza is required, as a result of any judgment or settlement of any action described in this Section 5.12, to pay a royalty to a Third Party to make, have made, offer for sale, sell and/or import a Covered Product for which it owes royalties to Cerus pursuant to Exhibit B , such amounts shall be deemed amounts required to be paid to a Third Party with respect to such Covered Product, and may be deducted from the amounts payable to Cerus with respect to such Covered Product under this Agreement to the extent permitted under Section 2(a) of Exhibit B .

SECTION 5.13 Covenant Not to Compete .

(a) Cerus agrees that Anza shall be entitled to protect and preserve the going concern value of the Business following the Closing to the extent permitted by Law, that Anza would not have entered into this Agreement absent the provisions of this Section 5.13 and, therefore, that, (i) for the period from the Closing Date hereof until [ * ] thereafter (the “ Applicable Period ”), Cerus and any Restricted Affiliate shall not, directly or indirectly, research, develop, manufacture, market, promote, sell or import any Competing Products anywhere in the world, and (ii) for the period from the end of the Applicable Period until [ * ] thereafter (the “ Listeria-Specific Period ”), Cerus and any Restricted Affiliate shall not, directly or indirectly, research, develop, manufacture,

market, promote, sell or import any Competing Listeria Products anywhere in the world. As used herein, “ Restricted Affiliate ” means (A) any Person that is an Affiliate of Cerus as of the Effective Date or (B) any Person that becomes an Affiliate of Cerus after the Effective Date, provided that Cerus controls such Affiliate, “ Competing Product ” means any product or service within the Anza Field of Use, and “ Competing Listeria Product ” means any product or service [ * ] that [ * ] or any component thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, during the Applicable Period, Cerus and the Restricted Affiliates shall not provide funding to, invest in or perform any services on behalf of any Third Party for the purpose of, or grant a license or other authorization to any Third Party for, researching, developing, manufacturing, marketing, promoting, selling or importing any Competing Product for use anywhere in the world, and during the Listeria-Specific Period, Cerus and the Restricted Affiliates shall not provide funding to, invest in or perform any services on behalf of any Third Party for the purpose of, or grant a license or other authorization to any Third Party for, researching, developing, manufacturing, marketing, promoting, selling or importing any Competing Listeria Product for use anywhere in the world.

(b) If a court determines that the foregoing restrictions are too broad or otherwise unreasonable under applicable Law, including with respect to time or geography, the court is hereby requested and authorized by the Parties to revise the foregoing restrictions to include the maximum restrictions allowable under applicable Law. Each of the Parties acknowledges, however, that this Section 5.13 has been negotiated by the Parties and that the Applicable Period is reasonable in light of the circumstances pertaining to the Parties.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that the remedy of indemnification pursuant to Article VII and other remedies at Law would be inadequate in the case of any breach of the covenants contained in this Section 5.13, and, accordingly, Anza shall be entitled to equitable relief, including the remedy of specific performance, with respect to any breach or attempted breach of such covenants.

(iii) In the case of any real or personal property Taxes (or other similar Taxes) attributable to the Transferred Assets for which Taxes are reported on a Tax Return covering a period commencing before the Closing and ending thereafter (a “ Straddle Period Tax ”), any such Straddle Period Taxes shall be prorated between Anza and Cerus on a per diem basis. The Party required by Law to pay any such Straddle Period Tax (the “ Paying Party ”) shall file the Tax Return related to such Straddle Period Tax within the time period prescribed by Law and shall timely pay such Straddle Period Tax. To the extent any such payment exceeds the obligation of the Paying Party hereunder, the Paying Party shall provide the other Party (the “ Non-Paying Party ”) with notice of payment, and within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such notice of payment, the Non-Paying Party shall reimburse the Paying Party for the Non-Paying Party’s share of such Straddle Period Taxes.

(d) Reporting . Anza and Cerus each agree to: (i) report the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner consistent with the intent of the Parties that the issuance of the Series AA Shares to Cerus in partial consideration for the transfer of the Transferred Assets, when taken together with the issuance of shares of Anza’s Series A Preferred Stock to certain investors on the date hereof, shall qualify as an exchange within the meaning of Section 351 of the Code to the extent permitted by applicable Law, and each such Party agrees that it will not take a position inconsistent therewith; (ii) timely file the information required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.351-3 with its income Tax Return for the year in which the Series AA Shares are issued; and (iii) comply with the record keeping requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.351-3.

(e) Escrow of Shares . To facilitate exercise of the Redemption Option, a certificate issued in the name of Cerus for 1,000,000 Series AA Shares (the “ Escrow Shares ”) shall be held by the Secretary of Anza as escrow holder (the “ Escrow Holder ”), along with an Assignment Separate from Certificate (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I ) executed by Cerus in blank, until the earlier of (i) expiration of the [ * ] Grant and (ii) receipt of $1,000,000 pursuant to such [ * ] Grant.

(ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement by Cerus contained in this Agreement;

(iii) the Retained Liabilities solely to the extent that such Losses are (A) incurred as a result of Third Party Claims made against a Anza Indemnified Party with respect to such Retained Liability or (B) directly incurred by Anza as a result of Anza’s fulfillment of Cerus’ obligations under any Retained Liability in the event that such fulfillment is reasonably required for Anza to maintain or exercise the rights granted to it under this Agreement; or

(v) the research, development, manufacture, distribution, use, testing, promotion, marketing, or sale or other disposition of a Covered Product by or on behalf of Anza or its Affiliates or Licensees, solely to the extent that such Losses are incurred as a result of Third Party Claims made against a Cerus Indemnified Party and do not result from a breach by Cerus of any representation or warranty.

(c) Indemnification Procedure .

(i) Whenever any Loss is asserted against or incurred by a Anza Indemnified Party or Cerus Indemnified Party (the “ Indemnified Party ”) which the Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party will give written notice thereof (a “ Claim ”) to the other Party (the “ Indemnifying Party ”). The Indemnified Party will furnish to the Indemnifying Party in reasonable detail such information as the Indemnified Party may have with respect to the Claim. The failure to give such notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement, unless the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial to an Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend an action by a Third Party giving rise to such Claim (a “ Third Party Claim ”).

(ii) In the case of a Third Party Claim, within thirty (30) days after delivery of such notice, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, and at its expense, undertake the defense of such Third Party Claim with attorneys of its own choosing. In the event that the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party may undertake the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(iii) The Party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense, provided that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim, the Indemnifying Party will be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party solely in connection therewith, provided further, however, that in no event will the Indemnifying Party be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel in any one jurisdiction for all Indemnified Parties.

(iv) The Party controlling such defense will keep the other Party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof and will consider recommendations made by the other Party with respect thereto. As reasonably requested by, and at the expense of, the Party controlling such defense, the other Party will cooperate in such defense and make available to the Party controlling such defense all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in such other Party’s possession or under such other Party’s control relating thereto.

(v) The Indemnified Party will not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnifying Party will not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that admits fault on the part of the Indemnified Party, except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event that the Indemnified Party refuses to consent to the entry of a judgment or a settlement for which the Indemnifying Party is solely and entirely responsible and has indicated its sole and entire responsibility in writing to the Indemnified Party, following such refusal, the liability of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party will be fixed at the amount of any money damages provided in the proposed judgment or settlement.

(d) Limitations on Indemnification .

(i) The indemnification provided in this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy after the Closing for damages available to the Parties for breach of any of the representations or warranties contained herein; provided, however, this exclusive remedy for damages does not preclude a Party from bringing an action for (A) fraud or (B) specific performance or other equitable remedy to require a Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, [ * ] provided that [ * ] cured within [ * ] days after notice form [ * ] , the aggregate Liability [ * ] under this Article VII for Losses arising from or attributable to any breach of the representations and warranties made by Cerus in this Agreement or any certificate or other instrument delivered by Cerus pursuant to this Agreement [ * ] shall be limited to $ [ * ] , provided, however, that with respect to any such Losses in excess of $ [ * ] , Anza shall have the right to cause the forfeiture of, and/or to offset such excess Losses against, the contingent consideration otherwise payable pursuant to Sections 2.5(a)(iii), (iv) and (v) in an amount equal to the specified amount of such Losses.

(iii) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL A PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST OPPORTUNITIES, OR ANY OTHER PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES IRRESPECTIVE OF THE THEORY UNDER WHICH SUCH ACTION IS BROUGHT, WHETHER IT WAS CAUSED OR ALLEGEDLY CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH PARTY OR WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, [ * ] OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT THAT IS NOT CURED [ * ] AFTER NOTICE [ * ] . NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 7.2(d)(iii) SHALL LIMIT OR RESTRICT A PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION WITH RESPECT TO THIRD PARTY CLAIMS PURSUANT TO THIS ARTICLE VII.

EXHIBIT B

1. Royalty Rates .

(b) [ * ] Covered Listeria Products .

Combined Annual Net Sales of the [ * ]

Covered Listeria Products

 

Royalty Rate

Portion up to and including $ [ * ]   [ * ] % of such Net Sales
Portion above $ [ * ]   [ * ] % of such Net Sales

Each Covered KBMA Product and Covered Listeria Product bearing royalties pursuant to this Section 1 is referred to herein as a “ Royalty-Bearing Covered Product .” For clarity, it is understood that in no case shall royalties apply or be owed hereunder with respect to more than [ * ] Covered KBMA [ * ] or more than [ * ] Covered Listeria [ * ] .

(c) Major Market Claims . With respect to any Royalty-Bearing Covered Product the composition of matter, manufacture or method of use of which is not covered by any Valid Claims in the country of sale, but is covered by at least [ * ] Major Market Claims, then Anza’s obligation to pay royalties under this Section 1 with respect to sales of such Royalty-Bearing Covered Product in such country of sale [ * ] .

2. Certain Additional Terms .

(a) Third Party Payments . If Anza or its Affiliate or Licensee becomes obligated to pay a Third Party royalties with respect to a Royalty-Bearing Covered Product under any agreement (including a Transferred Contract) to license or acquire intellectual property rights which cover or are used in a Royalty-Bearing Covered Product, then Anza may deduct [ * ] percent ( [ * ] %) of the royalties paid to such Third Party from the royalties payable to Cerus with respect to such Royalty-Bearing Covered Product pursuant to Section 1 above, provided that in no event shall the amounts paid to Cerus pursuant to Section 1 above with respect to such

Royalty-Bearing Covered Product in any reporting period be reduced by the combination of this clause (a) and Section 5.10(b) of the Agreement to less than [ * ] percent ( [ * ] %) of the amount that would otherwise be payable to Cerus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a royalty paid to a Third Party in connection with a Royalty-Bearing Covered Product that is a Combination Product under Section 2(b) below, where such royalty is based upon intellectual property rights that cover only the independently therapeutically active product or ingredient sold in combination with such Royalty-Bearing Covered Product, such royalty shall not be deductible pursuant to this Section 2(a).

(b) Combination Products . In the event that a Royalty-Bearing Covered Product is sold for a single price in combination with another independently therapeutically active product, or as a co-formulation with another independently therapeutically active ingredient (including, in each case, any adjuvant), for which no royalty would be due hereunder if sold separately (a “ Combination Product ”), the Net Sales from such Combination Product for purposes of calculating the amounts payable by Anza to Cerus under Section 1 above shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product by the fraction A/(A + B), where A is the average gross selling price during the same calendar quarter of a Covered Product that differs from such Combination Product solely in that it does not contain such independently therapeutically active product or ingredient, and B is the average gross selling price during such calendar quarter of such other therapeutically active product or ingredient. For the purposes of this Section 2(b), no antigen expressed in a Covered Product shall be considered independently therapeutically active. In the event that separate sales of such Covered Product or such other therapeutically active product or ingredient were not made during the previous calendar quarter, the Net Sales from such Combination Product shall be reasonably allocated between such Covered Product and such other therapeutically active product or ingredient, based upon their relative values. If the Parties cannot agree upon such allocation, then such dispute shall, upon written notice of either Party to the other Party, be referred for resolution by final, binding arbitration in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) The arbitration shall be conducted by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (or any successor entity thereto) (“ JAMS ”) under its rules of arbitration then in effect, except as modified herein. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language, by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator shall engage an independent expert with experience in the subject matter of the dispute to advise the arbitrator. The Parties and the arbitrator shall use all reasonable efforts to complete any such arbitration within six (6) months from the issuance of notice of a referral of any such dispute to arbitration. The arbitrator shall determine what discovery shall be permitted, consistent with the goal of limiting the cost and time which the Parties must expend for discovery, provided that the arbitrator shall permit such discovery as he or she deems necessary to permit an equitable resolution of the dispute.

(ii) The Parties agree that the decision of the arbitrator shall be the sole, exclusive and binding remedy between them regarding the dispute presented to the arbitrator. Any decision of the arbitrator may be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction for judicial recognition of the decision and an order of enforcement. The arbitration proceedings and the decision of the arbitrator shall be deemed Proprietary Information of the Parties under the Agreement.

(c) One Royalty . No more than one royalty payment shall be due under the Agreement with respect to a sale of a particular Royalty-Bearing Covered Product (e.g., even if such Royalty-Bearing Covered Product is covered by multiple Valid Claims). No royalty shall be payable under the Agreement with respect to any Royalty-Bearing Covered Products sold by Anza or its Affiliates or Licensees for [ * ] therefor, which [ * ] shall not include [ * ] .

17. Investment Representations .

(a) No Registration . Cerus understands that the Series AA Shares and the Conversion Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of Cerus’ representations as expressed herein or otherwise made pursuant hereto.

(b) Investment Intent . Cerus is acquiring the Series AA Shares and the Conversion Shares for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and Cerus has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing the same. Cerus further represents that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or entity or to any third person or entity with respect to any of the Series AA Shares or the Conversion Shares.

(c) Investment Experience . Cerus has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to Anza and acknowledges that Cerus can protect its own interests. Cerus has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so that Cerus is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in Anza.

(d) Speculative Nature of Investment . Cerus understands and acknowledges that Anza has a limited financial and operating history and that an investment in Anza is highly speculative and involves substantial risks. Cerus can bear the economic risk of Cerus’ investment and is able, without impairing Cerus’ financial condition, to hold the Series AA Shares and the Conversion Shares for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of Cerus’ investment.

(e) Access to Data . Cerus has had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the officers of Anza concerning the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, as well as Anza’s business, management and financial affairs, which questions were answered to its satisfaction. Cerus believes that it has received all the information Cerus considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Series AA Shares and the Conversion Shares. Cerus acknowledges that any business plans prepared by Anza have been, and continue to be, subject to change and that any projections included in such business plans or otherwise are necessarily speculative in nature, and it can be expected that some or all of the assumptions underlying such projections will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results.

(f) Accredited Investor . Cerus is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act and shall submit to Anza such further assurances of such status as may be reasonably requested by Anza.

(g) Residency . The principal place of business of Cerus is correctly set forth in Section 8.4.

(h) Rule 144 . Cerus acknowledges that the Series AA Shares and the Conversion Shares must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Cerus is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“ Rule 144 ”) which permit limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including among other things, the existence of a public market for the shares, the availability of certain current public information about Anza, the resale occurring not less than one (1) year after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sale being effected through a “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a “market maker” and the number of shares being sold during any three (3) month period not exceeding specified limitations. Cerus understands that the current public information referred to above is not now available and that Anza has no present plans to make such information available. Cerus acknowledges and understands that, notwithstanding any obligation under the Investor Rights Agreement, Anza may not be satisfying the current public information requirement of Rule 144 at the time Cerus wishes to sell the Series AA Shares or the Conversion Shares, and that, in such event, Cerus may be precluded from selling such shares under Rule 144, even if the other requirements of Rule 144 have been satisfied. Cerus acknowledges that, in the event all of the requirements of Rule 144 are not met, registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration will be required for any disposition of the Series AA Shares or the Conversion Shares. Cerus understands that, although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell restricted securities received in a private offering other than in a registered offering or pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales and that such persons and the brokers who participate in the transactions do so at their own risk.

(i) No Public Market . Cerus understands and acknowledges that no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by Anza and that Anza has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for Anza’s securities.

18. Brokers or Finders . Neither Cerus nor any of its representatives have incurred any obligation or liability, contingent or otherwise, for brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or other similar payments in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

19. Disclosure . To the actual knowledge of the executive officers of Cerus, no representation or warranty or other statement made by Cerus in the Transaction Documents, the Cerus Disclosure Schedule or any other document or certificate delivered in connection therewith contains any untrue statement or omits to state a material fact necessary to make any of them, in light of the circumstances in which it was made, not misleading. To the actual knowledge of the executive officers of Cerus, there are no facts that have application to Business (other than general economic or industry conditions) and that may materially adversely affect the assets, business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations of the Business that has not been set forth in this Agreement or the Cerus Disclosure Schedule.

CERUS ANNOUNCES SPIN-OFF OF IMMUNOTHERAPY BUSINESS

- Cerus to focus resources solely on blood safety business –

CONCORD, Calif. – November X, 2007 — Cerus Corporation (NASDAQ:CERS) announced today that it has spun-off certain assets that make up its immunotherapy programs, including Cerus’ Listeria and KBMA platform technologies, to a newly-formed independent company financed by a syndicate of leading venture capital firms. Cerus received an equity interest of approximately 15.5% of the new company’s fully diluted equity. Subject to the satisfaction of milestones, Cerus is eligible to receive up to an additional $1.5 million of equity in the new company or, under certain circumstances, in cash. In addition to equity, Cerus is eligible to receive future cash milestone payments of up to in excess of $90 million, as well as royalty payments, if vaccine candidates generated from the transferred assets are successfully developed and commercialized. Cerus is no longer funding operations of the immunotherapy business that has been transferred to the new company. As part of the transaction, David N. Cook, Ph.D. and Thomas W. Dubensky, Ph.D. have joined the new company as CEO and chief scientific officer, respectively. Both were members of Cerus’ executive management team.

“The completion of this transaction allows Cerus to focus organizational and financial resources solely on our core strengths in the blood safety business,” said Claes Glassell, president and chief executive officer, Cerus Corporation. “We remain confident that the immunotherapy programs and technologies that we have transferred to the new company will ultimately prove to represent important advances in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. On a personal note, we wish David Cook, Tom Dubensky and the many very capable scientific, clinical and regulatory people associated with our immunotherapy business continued success in their new roles.”

With the spin-off of the immunotherapy business completed, Cerus is now solely focused on commercializing the INTERCEPT Blood System. Both the INTERCEPT platelet and plasma systems have been approved and are being sold in Europe and in other countries that recognize the CE mark. Cerus has worldwide rights to the INTERCEPT Blood System, except in Asia, where Cerus has licensed marketing rights to the platelet and plasma systems to BioOne Corporation. In addition to its direct sales force in Europe, Cerus has engaged country-specific distributors in Spain, Portugal, Greece, Turkey, Kuwait, Russia and other CIS countries. Cerus has conducted Phase III clinical trials of the platelet and plasma systems in the United States and is in early-stage clinical development of a modified red blood cell system.

ABOUT CERUS

Cerus Corporation is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of the INTERCEPT Blood System ® . The INTERCEPT ® system is designed to inactivate blood-borne pathogens in donated blood components intended for transfusion. The company currently markets the INTERCEPT system for both platelets and plasma in Europe. The company is also in Phase I clinical trials for development of the INTERCEPT system for red blood cells in the United States.

Exhibit O

ASSIGNMENT AND NOVATION AGREEMENT

This Assignment and Novation Agreement (this “ Agreement ”) is made as of November 15, 2007 among Cerus Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ Cerus ”), Anza Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Anza ”), and The Johns Hopkins University, as Maryland Corporation, (“ JHU ”). Cerus, Anza and JHU are each referred to herein as a “ Party ” and collectively as the “ Parties .”

RECITALS

A. Cerus and JHU are parties to (i) that certain Option and Exclusive License Agreement dated April 8, 2003 ( [ * ] ), (ii) that certain Exclusive License Agreement dated December 4, 2003 ( [ * ] ), and (iii) that certain Exclusive License Agreement dated May 24, 2006 ( [ * ] ), in each case including any and all amendments and modifications thereto (the “ Contracts ”).

B. Anza and Cerus have entered into that certain Asset Transfer and License Agreement (the “ Asset Agreement ”) pursuant to which Cerus has transferred substantially all of the assets of its vaccines and immunotherapy business to Anza (the “ Asset Transfer ”).

C. It is a condition to the closing (the “Closing” ) under the Asset Agreement that Cerus assign and transfer its rights and obligations under the Contracts to Anza, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

D. JHU desires to consent to the foregoing assignment and transfer of the Contracts by Cerus to Anza and to recognize Anza as the successor party to the Contracts, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

Now, therefore, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the mutual representations, warranties covenants and other agreements set forth herein and the mutual benefits to be gained by the performance thereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and accepted, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Assignment and Transfer; Consent . Contingent upon and effective as of the Closing, Cerus hereby assigns and transfers the Contracts to Anza, and JHU consents to such assignment and transfer of the Contracts by Cerus to Anza.

2. Assumption . Contingent upon and effective as of the Closing, Anza agrees to be bound by and to perform the Contracts in accordance with the conditions contained in the Contracts and assumes all obligations and duties of Cerus under the Contracts due now or accruing after the Closing, as if Anza were the original party to the Contracts as of the Closing.

3. Acceptance of Substitute Performance . Contingent upon and effective as of the Closing, JHU recognizes Anza as Cerus’ successor in interest in and to the Contracts and agrees to look solely to Anza for the performance of the obligations and duties under the Contracts

without recourse to Cerus. It is intended that this substitute performance by Anza constitute a novation of the obligations and duties under the Contracts formerly owed by Cerus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cerus shall continue to comply with any confidentiality provisions under the Contracts in the same manner as would apply under the survival provisions of the Contracts, to the extent applicable. Additionally Cerus agrees that its indemnification obligations will continue with respect to claims arising prior to Closing.

4. Consideration . Contingent upon and effective as of the Closing, as consideration for JHU’s consent to the foregoing assignment and novation of the Contracts, Anza agrees to pay to JHU [ * ] dollars ($ [ * ] ) within fifteen (15) business days of Closing.

5. Miscellaneous .

(a) Confidentiality . Except as required by law, from the date hereof until (and only to the extent) disclosed publicly by Cerus or Anza, JHU shall not disclose to any third party any information about the Asset Transfer, or the terms or conditions or any other facts relating thereto, including, without limitation, the fact that discussions are taking place with respect thereto or the status thereof.

(b) Governing Law . This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to conflicts-of-laws principles that would require the application of any other law.

(c) Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
