IAVI shall have the right to inspect, analyze and test samples from each batch of Clinical Vaccine for safety parameters and product identity within [ * ]days of its receipt of same in order to verify that Clinical Vaccine conforms to the Product warranties [ * ]of this Supply Agreement, provided however, that any safety or product identity testing, including tests for potency or strength shall be conducted by qualified vendors approved by TGC.

        2.6   Notice of Defects. IAVI shall promptly, following its inspection of any Clinical Vaccine, notify TGC of any defects therein. If IAVI fails to inspect, analyze and test samples from any batch of Clinical Vaccine or, if it inspects, analyzes or tests such batch but fails to notify TGC of defects therein, in each case within [ * ]of its receipt of the same, it shall be deemed to have irrevocably accepted such Clinical Vaccine. To the extent that IAVI notifies TGC of defects in any Clinical Vaccine, it shall be deemed to have irrevocably accepted the Clinical Vaccine other than as to those defects specifically set forth in such notice. For purposes of this Agreement, Clinical Vaccine shall be “defective” or have “defects” only to the extent that it fails to conform to [ * ]this Supply Agreement. Any notice by IAVI of any defects in a batch of Clinical Vaccine shall specify in reasonable detail how it fails to conform with [ * ]this Supply Agreement. TGC and IAVI agree to collaborate on any investigation of defective Clinical Vaccine.

        2.7   Defective Clinical Vaccine. Following IAVI’s notification to TGC that a batch of Clinical Vaccine is defective, IAVI shall continue to hold such batch until it receives notice from TGC directing it to do otherwise. If TGC does not give IAVI notice to ship, continue to hold or dispose of such batch within [ * ]of receipt by TGC of IAVI’s notice to TGC of defects in such batch, IAVI may dispose thereof. If TGC notifies IAVI, within such [ * ]period, to return such batch to TGC, to continue to hold or to dispose of such batch, IAVI shall comply with such directions from TGC. If the Clinical Vaccine is found to be defective as indicated by IAVI in its notice to TGC following the conduct of a collaborative investigation by TGC and IAVI, and the Clinical Vaccine is found to be defective due to [ * ]TGC, then TGC shall reimburse IAVI for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by IAVI to ship the batch of defective Clinical Vaccine to TGC or to otherwise dispose of such Clinical Vaccine.



-5-






        2.8   Notice of Defects Dispute. If TGC does not agree that the Clinical Vaccine, which is the subject of the Notice of Defect, is defective, then IAVI must provide evidence to The Project Management Committee regarding the validity of the testing performed on the Clinical Vaccine. If TGC still does not agree that the Clinical Vaccine is defective, then IAVI shall consent to additional testing by a third party agreed upon in writing by The Project Management Committee. If the results of the third party testing show that the Clinical Vaccine is defective then TGC and IAVI shall collaborate on an investigation to determine the cause of the defect.

        2.9   Correction and Replacement. If the cause of a Clinical Vaccine defect, following an investigation, is found to be due to [ * ]TGC then TGC may, at its election, replace such batch of Clinical Vaccine ,at its cost, with another batch of identical quantity and a quality that conforms with [ * ]this Supply Agreement or, if TGC elects to have IAVI return to it any batch of defective Clinical Vaccine, TGC may correct such Clinical Vaccine as may be necessary to ensure that such batch no longer has the defects indicated in the notice provided by IAVI. If TGC corrects or replaces any batch of Clinical Vaccine, it shall ship such batch as corrected or replaced to IAVI by a route and carrier of TGC’s choice, at its own cost and expense. Title to and risk of loss of, and damage to, the corrected or replaced batch of Clinical Vaccine shall pass upon delivery thereof to IAVI at the location for delivery. If as a result of an investigation it is determined by the Supply Parties that the cause of the defect in the Clinical Vaccine is not a result of [ * ] TGC, then [ * ]. The appropriate correction or replacement activities necessary to supply Clinical Vaccine to meet the applicable Order will be decided upon in writing by The Project Management Committee and will be reflected in modifications to the Work Plan and Budget.

        2.10   Recall. TGC and IAVI agree to collaborate on any recall of Clinical Vaccine.

        2.11   Damages. If TGC receives notice that a batch of Clinical Vaccine is defective and as a result of a collaborative investigation it is determined the defect is due to [ * ] TGC, then if TGC fails to deliver a corrected or replaced batch of Clinical Vaccine, within a period of time agreed upon by the Project Management Committee for delivery of a corrected or replaced batch then, TGC shall pay the cost of materials and TGC’s service for manufacture in lieu of correcting or replacing such batch. If TGC notifies IAVI in writing that TGC will not deliver a corrected or replaced batch of Clinical Vaccine and will not pay the cost of materials and TGC’s service for manufacture to IAVI with respect to a batch of Clinical Vaccine, then TGC and IAVI shall collaborate to resolve filling the defective order. If a reasonable, mutually agreeable resolution is not reached, then IAVI may operate under [ * ] the Agreement to the extent consistent with the terms of such [ * ].

        2.12   Distribution of Clinical Vaccine. TGC and IAVI agree to advise the other of any clinical studies planned with the Clinical Vaccines. No Clinical Vaccines provided by TGC to IAVI shall be supplied or sent by IAVI to any Third Party, other than those contained in the appropriate Approval Application, without the unanimous written consent of the members of The Project Management Committee, except that IAVI may transfer Clinical Vaccine to IAVI’s Outside Contractors who are performing services specified in the applicable Work Plan and Budget, Order or Approval Application.

         6.1   Clinical Trial Indemnification by IAVI. IAVI hereby agrees to save, defend, and hold TGC, Children’s and their respective Affiliates and their officers, directors, trustees, employees and agents harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses that arise in connection therewith, (collectively, “Losses”) resulting from or arising out of: (i) [ * ]; or (iii) the [ * ]misconduct of IAVI or its Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees, and its or their directors, officers, agents, employees, or consultants or clinical investigators; or (iv) the material breach by IAVI of any representation, warranty, covenant or other provision of this Supply Agreement.

         6.2   Clinical Indemnification by TGC. TGC hereby agrees to save, defend and hold IAVI, Children’s and their respective Affiliates and their officers, directors, trustees, employees and agents harmless from and against any and all Losses resulting from or arising out of (i) [ * ]; or (ii) the [ * ] misconduct of TGC or Children’s, or its or their Affiliates, Outside Contractors, and its or their directors, officers, agents, trustees, employees or consultants; or (iii) the material breach by TGC of any representation, warranty, covenant or other provision of this Supply Agreement. For the purposes of this section, deviations from the terms of a protocol that may arise out of medical necessity do not constitute negligence, error, omission or malfeasance provided that IAVI confirms in writing the fact of and provides reasonable details of any such deviation within a reasonable time thereafter.

         6.3   Clinical Indemnification Procedure. This section 6.3 shall apply solely with respect to indemnification contemplated under the Supply Agreement.



-11-






                 6.3.1  Each indemnified Supply Party and Children’s (the “Clinical Indemnitee”) agrees to give the indemnifying Supply Party (the “Clinical Indemnitor”) prompt written notice of any Losses or discovery of fact upon which the Clinical Indemnitee intends to base a request for indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to give timely notice to the Clinical Indemnitor shall not release the Clinical Indemnitor from any liability to the Indemnitee to the extent the Clinical Indemnitor is not prejudiced thereby.

                 6.3.2  The Clinical Indemnitee shall furnish promptly to the Clinical Indemnitor copies of all papers and official documents in the Clinical Indemnitee’s possession or control which relate to any Losses; provided, however, that if the Clinical Indemnitee defends or participates in the defense of any Losses, then the Clinical Indemnitor shall also provide such papers and documents to the Clinical Indemnitee. The Clinical Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Clinical Indemnitor in providing witnesses and records necessary in the defense against any Losses.

                 6.3.3  The Clinical Indemnitor shall have the right, by prompt notice to the Clinical Indemnitee, to assume direction and control of the defense of any Third Party claim forming the basis of such Losses, with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Clinical Indemnitee and at the sole cost of the Clinical Indemnitor, so long as (i) the Clinical Indemnitor shall promptly notify the Clinical Indemnitee in writing (but in no event more than thirty (30) days after the Clinical Indemnitor’s receipt of notice of the claim) that the Clinical Indemnitor intends to indemnify the Clinical Indemnitee from and against any Losses the Clinical Indemnitee may suffer arising out of the claim absent the development of facts that give the Clinical Indemnitor the right to claim indemnification from the Clinical Indemnitee and (ii) the Clinical Indemnitor diligently pursues the defense of the claim.

                 6.3.4  If the Clinical Indemnitor assumes the defense of the claim as provided in Section 6.3.3 above or Section 6.3.5 below the Clinical Indemnitee may participate in such defense with the Clinical Indemnitee’s own counsel who shall be retained, at the Clinical Indemnitee’s sole cost and expense; provided, however, that neither the Clinical Indemnitee nor the Clinical Indemnitor shall consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the claim without the prior written consent of the other Supply Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Clinical Indemnitee withholds consent in respect of a judgment or settlement involving only the payment of money by the Clinical Indemnitor and which would not involve any stipulation or admission of liability or result in the Clinical Indemnitee becoming subject to injunctive relief or other relief, the Clinical Indemnitor shall have the right, upon notice to the Clinical Indemnitee within five (5) days of receipt of the Clinical Indemnitee’s written denial of consent, to pay to the Clinical Indemnitee, or to a trust for its or the Third Party’s benefit, as shall be established at trial or by settlement, the full amount of the Clinical Indemnitor’s obligation under Section 6.1 or Section 6.2, as applicable, with respect to such proposed judgment or settlement, including all interest, costs or other charges relating thereto, together with all attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred to such date for which the Clinical Indemnitor is obligated under this Supply Agreement, if any, at which time the Clinical Indemnitor’s rights and obligations with respect to the claim shall cease.

                 6.3.5  If the Clinical Indemnitor does not so assume the defense of such claim, the Clinical Indemnitee may conduct such defense with counsel of the Clinical Indemnitee’s



-12-






choice but may not settle such case without the written consent of the Clinical Indemnitor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In addition, the Clinical Indemnitor shall have the right to assume control of the defense, at its own expense, at any time upon five (5) days’ prior notice to the Clinical Indemnitee.

                 6.3.6  Except as provided in Section 6.3.5 above, the Clinical Indemnitor shall not be liable for any settlement or other disposition of a Loss by the Clinical Indemnitee which is reached without the written consent of the Clinical Indemnitor.

                 6.3.7  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.3, the portion of costs and expenses, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, incurred by any Clinical Indemnitee under Section 6.3.5 in connection with any claim corresponding to the Clinical Indemnitor’s obligation under Section 6.1 or Section 6.2, as applicable, shall be reimbursed on a calendar quarter basis by the Clinical Indemnitor, for so long as the Clinical Indemnitee controls the defense of the claim, without prejudice to the Clinical Indemnitor’s right to contest the Clinical Indemnitee’s right to indemnification and subject to refund in the event the Clinical Indemnitor is ultimately held not to be obligated to indemnify the Clinical Indemnitee.

        6.4   Limitation of Liability; Remedies Cumulative.

                 6.4.1  EXCEPT FOR EACH SUPPLY PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER AND ANY CLAIMS RELATED TO ONE SUPPLY PARTY’S INFRINGEMENT OF THE OTHER SUPPLY PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OUTSIDE OF THE RIGHTS AND LICENSES GRANTED HEREUNDER OR BREACH BY A SUPPLY PARTY OF ITS CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL A SUPPLY PARTY HEREOF BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER SUPPLY PARTY HEREOF FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES.

                 6.4.2  THE REMEDIES PROVIDED IN THIS SUPPLY AGREEMENT ARE CUMULATIVE AND NOT EXCLUSIVE OR IN LIMITATION OF ANY OTHER REMEDY AVAILABLE UNDER THIS SUPPLY AGREEMENT OR AT LAW OR IN EQUITY. ACCORDINGLY, UNLESS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS SUPPLY AGREEMENT, A REMEDY PROVIDED IN THIS SUPPLY AGREEMENT AS AVAILABLE EITHER TO TGC OR IAVI IS NOT INTENDED AS AN EXCLUSIVE REMEDY.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained in this Fifth Lease Amendment and the Lease, Lessor and Lessee agree as follows:

1.   Section 1, Premises. Effective April 1, 2004, Section 1, Premises, of the Lease is deleted and replaced with the following:

The useable area for suite 1200 is [*] useable square feet and the current load factor per 1996 BOMA is 10.36%.

2.   Section 2, Term. The term of the Lease is hereby extended for five (5) years, commencing April 1, 2004 and expiring March 31, 2009.

1






  b)  Effective April 1, 2004, the Base Year for operating expenses will be changed to 2004.

5.   Exhibit G, Paragraph 1, Option to Renew. Exhibit G, Paragraph 1, Option to Renew is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

  “Provided Lessee is not in default of any material term or condition of the Lease (unless the default was cured within the applicable cure period), Lessee shall have two (2) consecutive Options to Extend the lease term, one (1) period of thirty-six (36) months and, if exercised, followed by one (1) additional period of twenty-four (24) months (“Option Terms”), upon the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Lease, except for the Monthly Minimum Rent which shall be determined as set forth below and except that the Option to Cancel provisions shall not thereafter apply. The first option shall be exercised, if at all, by written notice to Lessor before August 1, 2008, and if applicable, the second option shall be exercised, if at all, by written notice to Lessor before August 1, 2011

  The rent shall be the fair market rent as agreed by Lessee and Lessor. Upon receipt of Lessee’s notice to extend, Lessor shall provide Lessee notice stating the rental rate it would be willing to accept for the extended term (the “Lessor’s Notice Rate”). Lessee shall have ten (10) days after receipt of Lessor’s Notice Rate to accept or reject such rate. In the event Lessee rejects the Lessor’s Notice Rate such rejection shall state the rate that Lessee would be willing to pay for the extended term (the “Lessee’s Notice Rate”). If the parties fail to agree on the fair market rental rate, then within two (2) days thereafter each party shall select an appraiser and the two appraisers shall within ten (10) days appoint a third appraiser (the “Determining Appraiser”). The Determining Appraiser shall make an independent determination of the rental rate for the extended term (the “New Rent”) which shall be the average prevailing rental rate for comparable space. The parties agree that for purposes of determining the New Rent, they will attempt to obtain the economic terms of any leases signed within the prior six (6) months for space on the first floors and the upper 35% of the floors of facilities within the perimeter of Denny Road to the North, Pike Street to the South, Interstate 5 to the East and 3rd Avenue to the West. New Rent will be computed based on facilities within such geographic perimeter of comparable size,, condition, age, in-building parking facilities, freeway access, central HVAC systems, views and for comparable floors and square footage. No leases in buildings without central HVAC and modern in-building parking will be considered. The Determining Appraiser will be instructed to contact the owners of those buildings, obtain the most recent lease rates for the applicable space, average the result (if there are more than one) and produce the figure which shall be considered the “New Rent” and which determination will be binding on the parties. The party whose Notice Rate is furthest from the appraiser’s New Rent shall pay the fee of the appraiser. Lessor shall prepare and Lessee shall execute a lease amendment for extension within thirty (30) days after determination of the New Rent.”

6.   Exhibit G, Paragraph 2, Right of First Offer. Provided Lessee is not in default of any material term or condition of the Lease (unless the default was cured within the applicable cure period), Lessee shall have the Right of First Offer to lease any space that is or will become available for lease on the first, twelfth, and adjacent floors of the Metropolitan Park West Tower, subject to any rights existing prior to the date of this Lease Amendment. Lessee shall have the Right of First offer for the term of the Lease. Prior to entering into negotiations for the space that Lessee has a Right of First offer on, Lessor shall provide Lessee with written notification specifying when the space shall be available for occupancy and the terms and conditions under which Lessor will lease the space (the “First Right Notice”). Lessee shall respond within ten (10) days of written notification by Lessor if Lessee wishes to lease the space. If Lessee does not respond


2






  within ten (10) days, Lessee shall be deemed to have rejected the offer to lease the space. Should Lessee accept such offer to lease, Lessee shall execute a Lease Amendment to such effect within ten (10) days after delivery of the Lease Amendment to Lessee. If Lessee does not accept the offer, then Lessor shall be free to lease the space to a third party on terms that are not materially more favorable to the tenant than those specified in the First Right Notice. For the purpose of this provision “materially more favorable” shall mean that the net effective rental rate (including tenant improvement allowances and other economic concessions, if any), to the third party would be more than [*] less than the net effective rate after factoring in all concessions provided, or not, by Lessor under the terms contained in the First Right Notice. In the event that the net effective rental rate to the third party would be materially more favorable than that provided in the First Right Notice, Lessor will provide Lessee with a new notice (the “Revised First Right Notice”) offering to lease the space to Lessee on the terms specified in the third party proposal. The same procedure will apply with regard to the Revised First Right Notice; except the notice period which will be five (5) business days following receipt rather than ten (10) days.

7.   Exhibit G, Paragraph 4, Parking. Effective April 1, 2004, Lessee shall be entitled to lease a total of fourteen (14) parking stalls for the term of the Lease. All parking shall be located in the Building Garage, in the Metropolitan North Garage, Metropolitan East Garage, or on nearby surface lots and will be at market rates.

8.   Option to Cancel Lease. Provided Lessee has not been in default of any material term or condition of the Lease on the date of the notice described below on or before the date of Lease cancellation, Lessee shall have the Option to Cancel this Lease at any time after April 1, 2006. Lessee shall provide not less than eight (8) months prior written notice of its election to cancel. Along with its cancellation notice, Lessee shall pay Lessor a Lease cancellation fee in an amount equal to the sum of: (i) [*] of Rent due from the effective date of the lease cancellation through April 1, 2007, if any, plus (ii) [*] of the Rent for the period from April 1, 2007 to March 31, 2009, plus (iii) the unamortized portion of the lease commission.

9.   Lessee Broker Representation . Both parties acknowledge that Lessee has engaged Staubach to represent it in this Agreement, hereinafter referred to as “Broker.” Broker’s sole compensation for representing Lessee shall be paid by Lessor in accordance with the terms of the Commission Agreement dated November 10, 2003 between Broker and Lessor.

Except as otherwise modified by the terms of this Fifth Lease Amendment, all other terms and conditions of the Lease remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

TARGETED GENETICS EXTENDS AIDS VACCINE PARTNERSHIP
WITH IAVI AND CCRI

— Collaboration Supports AIDS Vaccine Product Development Candidate
Currently in Phase I Study —

Seattle, WA — January 8, 2004 – Targeted Genetics Corporation (Nasdaq: TGEN) today announced a three year extension of its collaboration agreement with the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI) and Columbus Children’s Research Institute (CCRI) at Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, to develop an AIDS vaccine. The agreement will provide funding to Targeted Genetics of up to US $10.7 million in 2004.

The funding to be received by Targeted Genetics will support manufacturing of clinical supply and preclinical studies to evaluate the utility of various HIV antigens in a multi-component AIDS vaccine. Under the collaboration, IAVI will separately fund clinical trials of tgAAC09, a rAAV (recombinant adeno associated virus) – based AIDS vaccine candidate, currently in a Phase I clinical study.

“The continued relationship with IAVI and CCRI demonstrates the collaboration members’ belief in the potential of a rAAV-based AIDS vaccine,” said H. Stewart Parker, president and chief executive officer of Targeted Genetics. “tgAAC09, our initial product candidate developed as part of this collaboration, represents the first time that a rAAV-based vaccine has been brought into clinical development. We believe that vaccines are a logical application and extension of our rAAV vector technology. Results of animal studies to date show a protective immune response to viral infection following single-shot administration. We look forward to results of our Phase I study and are pleased to continue work with a team of exceptional talent and expertise.”

A Phase I clinical trial of tgAAC09 as a single-shot vaccine began in December of 2003. tgAAC09 uses Targeted Genetics’ rAAV technology to elicit immune system responses in an effort to protect against AIDS. tgAAC09 is designed to elicit both an antibody and a cell-mediated immune response. The Phase I, dose-escalation clinical trial is a double-blind, placebo-controlled study that will enroll up to 50 volunteers, both men and women, who are uninfected with HIV and in good general health. Each volunteer receives a






single intramuscular injection into the upper arm. Following vaccination, study participants will be monitored for safety and evaluated to see if tgAAC09 can elicit an immune response. If so, tgAAC09 may advance to a large-scale trial.

Seth F. Berkley, M.D., President and CEO of IAVI, said: “We are eager to continue to accelerate the development of AIDS vaccine candidates based on Targeted Genetics’ promising rAAV technology. Its potential to confer protection in just a single shot would be particularly useful for developing countries, where most HIV infections are occurring.”

The collaboration was originally formed in February of 2000 among Targeted Genetics, IAVI and CCRI to develop a rAAV-based AIDS vaccine, and has now been extended through the end of 2006. In return for its funding, and in keeping with its philanthropic mission, IAVI has secured rights to ensure that a vaccine, if successfully developed, will be distributed in developing countries at a reasonable price. Targeted Genetics retains all rights to develop and commercialize vaccines that are developed under the collaboration for developed nations.
