Exhibit 10.2

[TELIK LETTERHEAD]

September 3, 2014

Dear Sir or Madam:

You are receiving this correspondence in connection with your ownership of a Warrant to Purchase Common Stock, originally issued as of February 12, 2014 by MabVax Therapeutics, Inc., which was exchanged for a Warrant to Purchase Common Stock, effective as of July 8, 2014 (the “Warrant”), and, as a result of such exchange, is exercisable for shares of Telik, Inc.’s (the “Company”) common stock. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Warrant, no exercise may be made until the one (1) year anniversary of the date of the exchange, July 8, 2015. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Warrant.

This letter is to provide you with notice that the Company hereby waives, on a limited basis and subject to the conditions as set forth below, the requirement set forth in the preamble of the Warrant that the Warrant may not be exercised until July 8, 2015, and, as a result, may be exercised, either through payment of the exercise price of $0.452497 per share (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction occurring after the date hereof) or on a net “cashless” basis, at any time during the Waiver Period; provided, however that for purposes of such net “cashless” exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be determined in accordance with the formula set forth in Exhibit A to this letter (the “Adjusted Formula”) rather than the formula set forth in Section 1(d) of the Warrant. The “Waiver Period” means the period starting on and including the date of this letter and ending on and including September 12, 2014.

For your convenience, a copy of the Warrant exercise form is enclosed with this letter. The executed Warrant exercise form and the payment of the Exercise Price (to the extent the Warrant is not exercised on a net “cashless” basis) must be received prior to the end of the Waiver Period to be effective.

Except as otherwise waived or amended by this letter, the terms of the Warrant shall remain unchanged.

 

Very truly yours,
  TELIK, INC.
  By:  

 

 

J. David Hansen, President and

Chief Executive Officer
