THE COMPANY
     On March 7, 2008, we received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, of our new drug application, or NDA, for our drug product, Levoleucovorin for Injection (formerly, ISO-Vorintm). We anticipate launching LEVOleucovorin in the U.S. market in mid-2008. Also, during the fourth quarter of 2008, we will launch sumatriptan injection, the generic form of GlaxoSmithKline’s Imitrex® injection, through our commercialization partner, Par Pharmaceutical Companies, Inc. We are a biopharmaceutical company that acquires, develops and commercializes a diversified portfolio of drug products, with a focus on oncology, urology and other critical health challenges. We are focused on executing our business strategy, which is comprised of the following four parts:
    Acquiring and developing a broad and diverse pipeline of late-stage clinical and commercial products with a focus on oncology and urology.
 
      We acquire and develop multiple novel, late-stage oncology drug products that address niche markets. A late-stage focus helps us effectively manage the high cost of drug development by focusing on compounds that have already passed the many costly hurdles in the pre-clinical and early clinical process. Our strategy allows us to leverage organizational, collaborative, commercial and scientific efficiencies from a therapeutic focus on oncology and urology.
 
    Establishing a commercial organization for LEVOleucovorin that will be available if and when each of the other drug products in our pipeline are approved. As we transform from a development to a commercial organization, we are building a foundation for successful product launches.
 
    Continuing to build a team with significant drug development and commercialization expertise in our areas of focus and creating a culture of success that allows our people to thrive.
 
      We have built the foundation of a team with significant experience in oncology and urology drug development. We endeavor to leverage the talents of our team and add people who have relevant experience. Our team members have, in the past, been responsible for the development of drugs such as adriamycin, cisplatin, carboplatin, paclitaxel, Etoposide, Buspar, Cialis, Nefazodone and Stadol, among others. We also have, and will continue to bring, commercialization experience to the Company as we build our commercial infrastructure.
 
    Leveraging the expertise of partners around the world in areas of manufacturing, development and commercialization to assist us in the execution of our strategy.
     We have incurred losses in every year of our existence and expect to continue to incur operating losses for the next several years. We may never generate significant revenue or become profitable because our drug product LEVOleucovoran for Injection may not achieve market acceptance and all of our other proprietary drug candidates are currently either in clinical trials and our clinical trials may fail, or we may not receive approval of the FDA, or even if approved, they may not become commercially viable or achieve market acceptance. Since it is unlikely that we will be able to generate the revenues necessary to finance our operations near-term, we will likely have to seek additional capital through the sale of our securities. However, we do not currently have plans to raise capital.
     The pharmaceutical marketplace in which we operate is highly competitive, and includes many large, well-established companies pursuing treatments for the indications we are pursuing.
     Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a Delaware corporation that was originally incorporated in Colorado as Americus Funding Corporation in December 1987, became NeoTherapeutics, Inc. in August 1996, was reincorporated in Delaware in June 1997, and was renamed Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in December 2002. Our principal executive offices are located at 157 Technology Drive, Irvine, California 92618.

USE OF PROCEEDS
     Unless we indicate otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the net proceeds from the sale of the securities offered from time to time hereby will be used for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, sales and marketing activities, clinical development, making acquisitions of assets, businesses or securities, capital expenditures and for working capital. When a particular series of securities is offered, the related prospectus supplement will set forth our intended use of the net proceeds we receive from the sale of the securities. Pending the application of the net proceeds, we may invest the proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing instruments or other securities.
RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
     The following table sets forth our ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the periods indicated:
                                         
    Year Ended December 31,
    2007   2006   2005   2004   2003
 
                                       
Ratio of earnings to fixed charges (1)
    N/A       N/A       N/A       N/A       N/A  
 
(1)   Earnings have been inadequate to cover fixed charges. The dollar amount (in thousands) of the coverage deficiency in the five year period ended December 31, 2007 was approximately $10,390, $12,286, $18,642, $23,284, and $34,036 for the years 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.
     The ratios of earnings to fixed charges were computed by dividing earnings by fixed charges. For this purpose, earnings consist of pre-tax loss before fixed charges included in the determination of pre-tax loss. Fixed charges consist of interest costs, whether expensed or capitalized, the amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, and the interest factor of rental expense.
RATIO OF EARNINGS TO COMBINED FIXED CHARGES AND PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS
     The following table sets forth our ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends for the periods indicated:
                                         
    Year Ended December 31,
    2007   2006   2005   2004   2003
 
                                       
Ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred share dividends (1)
    N/A       N/A       N/A       N/A       N/A  
 
(1)   Earnings have been inadequate to cover fixed charges and preferred stock dividends. The dollar amount of the coverage deficiency in the five year period ended December 31, 2007 was approximately $10,792, $12,556, $18,854, $23,445 and $34,055 for the years 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.
     The ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends is calculated in a similar manner to the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, except that preference dividends of Spectrum Pharmaceuticals are combined with fixed charges on a pre-tax basis, assuming a 40% tax rate. The deficiency amount is the amount of earnings required for a ratio of 1.0x.

Table of Contents

     The indenture does not contain any covenant or other specific provision affording protection to holders of the debt securities in the event of a highly leveraged transaction or a change in control of the Company, except to the limited extent described below under “— Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets.” The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation also contains other provisions which may prevent or limit a change of control.

     The indenture provides that a supplemental indenture that changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of the indenture that has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of debt securities, or that modifies the rights of the holders of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under the indenture of the holders of debt securities of any other series, unless it intends to do so.

     Unless otherwise provided in any prospectus supplement, the following will be events of default under the indenture with respect to each series of debt securities issued thereunder: (a) default in the payment of principal (or premium, if any) or any additional amounts with respect to such principal or premium on any series of the debt securities outstanding under the indenture when due; (b) default in the payment of any interest or any additional amounts with respect to such interest on any series of the debt securities outstanding under the indenture when due, continued for 30 days; (c) default in the payment, if any, of any sinking fund installment when and as due by the terms of any debt security of such series, subject to any cure period that may be specified in any debt security of such series; (d) failure to perform any other covenant or warranty of the Company contained in such indenture or such debt securities continued for 90 days after written notice; (e) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company; and (f) any other event of default provided in a supplemental indenture with respect to a particular series of debt securities. Unless otherwise provided in any prospectus supplement, in case an event of default other than a default specified in clause (e) above shall occur and be continuing with respect to any series of such debt securities, the applicable trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of such series then outstanding (each such series acting as a separate class) may declare the principal (or, in the case of discounted debt securities, the amount specified in the terms thereof) of such series to be due and payable. Unless otherwise provided in any prospectus supplement, if an event of default described in (e) above shall occur and be continuing then the principal amount (or, in the case of discounted debt securities, the amount specified in the terms thereof) of all the debt securities outstanding shall be and become due and payable immediately, without notice or other action by any holder or the applicable trustee, to the full extent permitted by law. Unless otherwise provided in any prospectus supplement, any event of default with respect to particular series of debt securities under such indenture may be waived by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series (voting as a class), except in each case a failure to pay principal of or premium, interest or additional amounts, if any, on such debt securities or a default in respect of a covenant or provision which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each holder affected thereby.
     The indenture provides that the applicable trustee may withhold notice to the holders of any default with respect to any series of debt securities (except in payment of principal of or interest or premium on, or sinking fund payment in respect of, the debt securities) if the applicable trustee considers it in the interest of holders to do so.
     The indenture contains a provision entitling the applicable trustee to be indemnified by the holders before proceeding to exercise any trust or power under such indenture at the request of such holders. The indenture provides that the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of any series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceedings for any remedy available to the applicable trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred upon the applicable trustee with respect to the debt securities of such series; provided, however, that the applicable trustee may decline to follow any such direction if, among other reasons, the applicable trustee determines in good faith that the actions or proceedings as directed may not lawfully be taken or would be unduly prejudicial to the holders of the debt securities of such series not joining in such direction. The right of a holder to institute a proceeding with respect to the applicable indenture will be subject to certain conditions precedent including, without limitation, that the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of such series then outstanding under such indenture make a written request upon the applicable trustee to exercise its powers under such indenture, indemnify the applicable trustee and afford the applicable trustee reasonable opportunity to act, but the holder has an absolute right to receipt of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest when due on the debt securities, to require conversion of debt securities if such indenture provides for convertibility at the option of the holder and to institute suit for the enforcement thereof.

CAPITAL STOCK
     Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value. Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended to date, does not authorize any other classes of capital stock.
Common Stock
     As of March 31, 2008 there were 31,461,396 shares of common stock outstanding and approximately 389 shareholders of record. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders. The holders of common stock are not entitled to cumulative voting rights with respect to election of directors, and as a consequence, minority stockholders will not be able to elect directors on the basis of their shares alone. Our Board of Directors currently consists of six Directors each of whom is elected annually. No dividend on our common stock may be paid unless, at the time of such payment, we have on hand cash and other liquid assets sufficient to pay in full, in cash, the liquidation preference that would be payable to the holders of the preferred stock, if any, as if such liquidation preference were then payable. Subject to this preference and the preferences that may be applicable to the holders of any other class of our preferred stock, if any, the holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably such lawful dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors.
     In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, before any distribution of our assets shall be made to or set apart for the holders of our common stock, the holders, if any, of our Series E Convertible Voting Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive payment out of our assets in an amount equal to the liquidation preference set forth in the Certificate of Designations for the preferred stock. If the assets available for distribution to stockholders exceed the aggregate amount of the liquidation preference with respect to all shares of the preferred stock then outstanding, then the holders of our common stock shall be entitled to receive, subject to the rights of the holders of any other class of our preferred stock, if any, pro rata all of our remaining assets available for distribution to our stockholders.
     Our common stock has no preemptive or conversion rights, other subscription rights, or redemption or sinking fund provisions. All outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and nonassessable. The rights, powers, preferences and privileges of holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock.
Stockholder Rights Plan
     On December 13, 2000, we adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan pursuant to which we have distributed rights to purchase units of our Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock. The rights become exercisable upon the earlier of ten days after a person or group of affiliated or associated persons has acquired 15% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock or ten business days after a tender offer has commenced that would result in a person or group beneficially owning 15% or more of our outstanding common stock, other than pursuant to a transaction approved in advance by our Board of Directors. The description and terms of the rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement between us and ComputerShare Trust Company, N.A., as rights agent, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 26, 2000, as Exhibit 4.1 to our Form 8-A, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated July 23, 2003, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14, 2003, as Exhibit 4.1 to our Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2003, Amendments No. 2 and No. 3 dated May 10, 2004, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 17, 2004 as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 respectively to our Form 10-Q for the period ended March 30, 2004, the Fourth Amendment dated July 7, 2006, filed as Exhibit 4.1 to our Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 12, 2006, and Amendment No. 5 dated September 26, 2006, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 3, 2006 as Exhibit 4.2 to our Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006.

Certain Provisions of Delaware Law and of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
     The following paragraphs summarize certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. The summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Delaware General Corporation Law and to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, copies of which are on file with the Commission. See “Where You Can Find More Information.”
     Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws contain provisions that, together with the ownership position of the officers, directors and their affiliates, could discourage potential takeover attempts and make it more difficult for stockholders to change management, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
     Our Certificate of Incorporation limits the extent to which our directors are personally liable to Spectrum Pharmaceuticals and our stockholders, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL. The inclusion of this provision in our Certificate of Incorporation may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and may discourage or deter stockholders or management from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their duty of care.
     Our Bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders can be called only by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer. Stockholders are not permitted to call a special meeting and cannot require the Board of Directors to call a special meeting. There is no right of stockholders to act by written consent without a meeting, unless the consent is unanimous. Any vacancy on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, removal or otherwise or newly created directorships may be filled only by vote of the majority of directors then in office, or by a sole remaining director. Our Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, except for nominations made by or at the direction of the board of directors or a committee of the board.
     In addition to our rights agreement, our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws, certain provisions of Delaware law may make the acquisition of the company by tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or the removal of our officers and directors, more difficult. For example, we are subject to the “business combination” statute of the DGCL, an anti-takeover law enacted in 1988. Section 203 of the DGCL prohibits certain publicly-held Delaware corporations from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years following the time such person became an interested stockholder unless the business combination is approved in a specified manner. Generally, an interested stockholder is a person who, together with its affiliates and associates, owns 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock, or is affiliated with the corporation and owns or owned 15% of the corporation’s voting stock within three years before the business combination. In addition, our Certificate of Incorporation sets forth additional required approvals for business combinations with (1) a stockholder that owns 5% or more of our voting stock, or (2) is an affiliate or associate of ours and was the owner of 5% or more of our voting stock at any time within the three-year period prior to the determination time, or (3) is an affiliate or associate of the persons described in (1) and (2).
Transfer Agent and Registrar
     Our common stock is listed under the symbol “SPPI” on the Nasdaq Global Market. Computershare Trust Company, N.A. is the Transfer Agent and Registrar for our common stock.
Preferred Stock
     The Company is authorized to issue a total of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Of the 5,000,000 authorized shares, the Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock and 2,000 shares of Series E Convertible Voting Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 2008, 170 shares of Series E Convertible Voting Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.
     Each share of Series E Preferred Stock is convertible into a number of shares of Spectrum Pharmaceuticals common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the sum of a stated value of $10,000 by a conversion price of $5.00, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. There are no dividends payable on the Preferred Stock.

13


Table of Contents

     Each share of Series E Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference equal to 120% of the stated value of $10,000 plus any declared and unpaid dividends on such share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.
     Holders of our Series E Preferred Stock have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of holders of common stock, and are entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which their shares of Series E Preferred Stock can be converted. Pursuant to the Certificates of Designations for the Series E Preferred Stock, the number of shares of our common stock that may be acquired by any holder of Series E Preferred Stock upon any conversion of the preferred stock, or that shall be entitled to voting rights, is limited to the extent necessary to ensure that following such conversion, the number of shares of our common stock then beneficially owned by such holder and any other person or entities whose beneficial ownership of common stock would be aggregated with the holder’s for purposes of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, does not exceed 4.95% of the total number of shares of our common stock then outstanding.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
     Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
     Spectrum Pharmaceuticals is a Delaware corporation. Section 145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorney fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
     Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.
     Further subsections of DGCL Section 145 provide that:
     (1) to the extent a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145 or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith;

II-1


Table of Contents

     (2) the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for pursuant to Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise; and
     (3) the corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under Section 145.
     Section 145 of the DGCL makes provision for the indemnification of officers and directors in terms sufficiently broad to indemnify officers and directors of Spectrum Pharmaceuticals under certain circumstances from liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933. Spectrum Pharmaceuticals’ Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide, in effect, that, to the fullest extent and under the circumstances permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, Spectrum Pharmaceuticals will indemnify any person (and the estate of any person) who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of Spectrum Pharmaceuticals or is or was serving at the request of Spectrum Pharmaceuticals as a director or officer of another corporation or enterprise. Spectrum Pharmaceuticals may, in its discretion, similarly indemnify its employees and agents.
     Spectrum Pharmaceuticals has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors.
     Spectrum Pharmaceuticals’ Bylaws relieve its directors from monetary damages to Spectrum Pharmaceuticals or its stockholders for breach of such director’s fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Under Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, a corporation may relieve its directors from personal liability to such corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of their fiduciary duty as directors except (i) for a breach of the duty of loyalty, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith, or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for willful or negligent violations of certain provisions in the DGCL imposing certain requirements with respect to stock repurchases, redemptions and dividends, or (iv) for any transactions from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
     Spectrum Pharmaceuticals currently maintains an insurance policy which, within the limits and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, covers certain expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by directors and officers in connection with proceedings that may be brought against them as a result of an act or omission committed or suffered while acting as a director or officer of Spectrum Pharmaceuticals.
Item 16. Exhibits and Financial Schedule
     See the Exhibit Index attached to this registration statement and incorporated herein by this reference.
Item 17. Undertakings
     (a) The undersigned registrants hereby undertake:
     (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
     (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
     (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the

II-2


Table of Contents

registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
     (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrants pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
     (4) That, for purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
     (i) Each prospectus filed by the registrants pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
     (ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
     (5) That, for purposes of determining liability of the registrants under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrants undertake that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrants pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned

II-3


Table of Contents

registrants will be sellers to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
     (i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrants relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
     (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrants or used or referred to by the undersigned registrants;
     (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrants or their securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrants; and
     (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrants to the purchaser.
     (b) The undersigned registrants hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
     (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions described in Item 15, or otherwise, the registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of any registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, each appropriate registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
     (d) The undersigned registrants hereby undertake to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act.
