CONFIDENTIAL PROVISIONS REDACTED

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED WORLDWIDE AGREEMENT

This Second Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement is entered into as of October 28, 2005 (the “ Amendment Effective Date ”), by and among, on the one hand, HOFFMANN-LA ROCHE INC., a New Jersey corporation having offices at 340 Kingsland Street, Nutley, New Jersey 07110 (“ Roche-Nutley ”) and F. HOFFMANN-LA ROCHE LTD of Basel, Switzerland (“ F. Roche ”) (Roche-Nutley and F. Roche are hereinafter individually and collectively referred to as “ Roche ”) and, on the other hand, PROTEIN DESIGN LABS, INC., a Delaware corporation having offices at 34801 Campus Drive, Fremont, California 94555 (“ PDL ”).

RECITALS

PDL originally licensed to Roche, on an exclusive basis, rights to a humanized antibody now known by the generic name daclizumab, which binds to the interleukin-2 receptor ( “IL-2R” ).

Roche is currently marketing daclizumab under the trademark Zenapax® for the prevention of acute organ rejection in patients undergoing kidney transplants.

Roche and PDL are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Worldwide Agreement (the “Agreement” ), dated October 1, 2003 (the “Effective Date” ), under which PDL (1) reacquired all IL-2R antibody rights originally licensed by PDL to Roche, subject to Roche’s continuing exclusive license to market and sell daclizumab for transplant indications throughout most of the world and to develop and to commercialize products based on [****] that [****] to the [****] of [****]; and (2) obtained the right to purchase, upon payment of an additional fee, all of Roche’s remaining rights to daclizumab, subject to Roche’s right to retain its exclusive license from PDL to develop and commercialize products based on [****] that [****] to the [****] of [****].

Roche and PDL now desire to amend the Agreement to allow PDL to reacquire all remaining rights to daclizumab, subject to Roche’s exclusive right to continue to commercialize Zenapax® in its current form for as long as Roche desires to do so.
