(the &ldquo;Board&rdquo;) of Nektar Therapeutics, a Delaware corporation (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;), previously adopted the Nektar

Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 14, 2017 (the &ldquo;Annual Meeting&rdquo;). The 2017 Plan will replace the Company&rsquo;s

the 2017 Plan to, among other things, select participants and determine the type(s) of award(s) that they are to receive and determine
the number of shares that are to be subject to awards and the terms and conditions of awards, including the price (if any) to be
paid for the shares or the award. Persons eligible to receive awards under the 2017 Plan include members of the Board, officers
or employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and certain consultants and advisors to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.</P>

of shares of Common Stock subject to awards granted under the 2012 Plan on or after March 31, 2017, will initially be available
for awards under the 2017 Plan. Shares issued in respect of any &ldquo;full-value award&rdquo; granted under the 2017 Plan will
be counted against the share limit described in the preceding sentence as 1.50 shares for every one share actually issued in connection
with the award. The following other limits are also contained in the 2017 Plan: (1) the maximum number of shares that may be delivered
pursuant to options qualified as incentive stock options granted under the plan is 8,300,000 shares; (2) the maximum number of
shares subject to options and stock appreciation rights that are granted during any calendar year to any individual under the plan
is 3,000,000 shares; (3) &ldquo;Performance-Based Awards&rdquo; under Section 5.2 of the 2017 Plan granted to a participant in
any one calendar year will not provide for payment of more than (a) in the case of awards payable only in cash and not related
to shares, $5,000,000, and (b) in the case of awards related to shares (and in addition to options and stock appreciation rights
which are subject to the limit referred to above), 3,000,000 shares; and (4) the aggregate value of cash compensation and the grant
date fair value (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) of shares of Common Stock that may be paid
or granted during any calendar year to any non-employee director shall not exceed $1,200,000 for existing non-employee directors
and $2,200,000 for new non-employee directors. As is customary in incentive plans of this nature, each share limit and the number
and kind of shares available under the 2017 Plan and any outstanding awards, as well as the exercise or purchase prices of awards,
and performance targets under certain types of performance-based awards, are subject to adjustment in the event of certain reorganizations,
mergers, combinations, recapitalizations, stock splits, stock dividends, or other similar events that change the number or kind
of shares outstanding, and extraordinary dividends or distributions of property to the stockholders.</P>

sale of shares issuable under this Plan by the Corporation or the Corporation&rsquo;s compliance with any other applicable laws.
An Eligible Person who has been granted an award (a &ldquo;participant&rdquo;) may, if otherwise eligible, be granted additional
awards if the Administrator shall so determine. As used herein, &ldquo;<B>Subsidiary</B>&rdquo; means any corporation or other
entity a majority of whose outstanding voting stock or voting power is beneficially owned directly or indirectly by the Corporation;

the extent a reduction of simultaneously granted options is necessary to meet the $100,000 limit, the Administrator may, in the
manner and to the extent permitted by law, designate which shares of Common Stock are to be treated as shares acquired pursuant
to the exercise of an ISO. ISOs may only be granted to employees of the Corporation or one of its subsidiaries (for this purpose,
the term &ldquo;subsidiary&rdquo; is used as defined in Section&nbsp;424(f) of the Code, which generally requires an unbroken chain
of ownership of at least 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of each subsidiary in the chain beginning
with the Corporation and ending with the subsidiary in question). There shall be imposed in any award agreement relating to ISOs
such other terms and conditions as from time to time are required in order that the option be an &ldquo;incentive stock option&rdquo;
as that term is defined in Section&nbsp;422 of the Code. No ISO may be granted to any person who, at the time the option is granted,
owns (or is deemed to own under Section&nbsp;424(d) of the Code) shares of outstanding Common Stock possessing more than 10% of
the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Corporation, unless the exercise price of such option is at least
110% of the fair market value of the stock subject to the option and such option by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration
of five years from the date such option is granted.</P>

to such rules and subject to such conditions as the Administrator may establish, that the Corporation reduce the number of shares
to be delivered by (or otherwise reacquire) the appropriate number of shares, valued in a consistent manner at their fair market
value or at the sales price in accordance with authorized procedures for cashless exercises, necessary to satisfy the applicable
withholding obligation on exercise, vesting or payment. Shares of Common Stock to be delivered or withheld may not have an aggregate
Fair Market Value in excess of the amount determined by applying the minimum statutory withholding rate (or, if permitted by the
Corporation, such other rate as will not cause adverse accounting consequences under generally accepted accounting principles then
in effect). Any fraction of a share of Common Stock which would be required to satisfy such an obligation shall be disregarded
and the remaining amount due shall be paid in cash by the holder.</P>
