Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.
     On December 8, 2005, Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (“Halozyme”) and Baxter Healthcare Corporation (“Baxter”) entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Exclusive Distribution Agreement between Halozyme and Baxter that was originally entered into on August 13, 2004.
     Under the terms of the Second Amendment, Baxter will market and sell Halozyme’s Hylenex product on an exclusive basis in the member countries of the European Union (the “EU”), as well as selected other European countries (such additional countries, along with the member countries of the EU, are referred to as the “Additional Territory”), pending the applicable regulatory approvals of Hylenex in the Additional Territory. Baxter and Halozyme will equally share in the costs associated with obtaining such approvals. The Second Amendment provides that Baxter will also pay annualized sales and marketing costs up to an agreed upon amount. If Baxter’s sales and marketing costs exceed the agreed upon amount, additional annual costs will be split equally between Halozyme and Baxter provided that the parties first mutually agree on the amount of such additional costs. In addition, Halozyme will receive fifty percent of the gross profit from the sales of Hylenex in the Additional Territory.
     The preceding description of the Second Amendment is a summary of the material terms of that agreement and does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by the copy of such agreement which will be filed with Halozyme’s next annual report on Form 10-KSB.
