Exhibit 10.1
FIRST AMENDMENT TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
     This First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of July 24, 2007, by and between COMERICA BANK (“Bank”) and TRUBION PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. (“Borrower”).
RECITALS
     Borrower and Bank are parties to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of September 12, 2006, as amended from time to time (the “Agreement”). The parties desire to amend the Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Amendment.
     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
     1. The following defined term in Section 1.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
          “Equipment Line” means a credit extension of up to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000).
     2. Section 2.1(b)(i) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
          “(i) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank agrees to make Equipment Advances to Borrower. Borrower may request Equipment Advances at any time from the date hereof through September 12, 2007. The aggregate outstanding amount of Equipment Advances shall not exceed the Equipment Line. Each Equipment Advance shall not exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the invoice amount of equipment and tenant improvements approved by Bank from time to time (which Borrower shall, in any case, have purchased within 180 days of the date of the corresponding Equipment Advance), excluding taxes, shipping, warranty charges, freight discounts and installation expense.”
     3. No course of dealing on the part of Bank or its officers, nor any failure or delay in the exercise of any right by Bank, shall operate as a waiver thereof, and any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude any later exercise of any such right. Bank’s failure at any time to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision shall not affect any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance. Any suspension or waiver of a right must be in writing signed by an officer of Bank.
     4. Unless otherwise defined, all initially capitalized terms in this Amendment shall be as defined in the Agreement. The Agreement, as amended hereby, shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with its respective terms and hereby is ratified and confirmed in all respects. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment of, any right, power, or remedy of Bank under the Agreement, as in effect prior to the date hereof.
     5. Borrower represents and warrants that the Representations and Warranties contained in the Agreement are true and correct as of the date of this Amendment, and that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
     6. As a condition to the effectiveness of this Amendment, Bank shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, the following:
          (a) this Amendment, duly executed by Borrower;
          (b) a Certificate of the Secretary of Borrower with respect to incumbency and resolutions authorizing the execution and delivery of this Amendment;
          (c) all reasonable Bank Expenses incurred through the date of this Amendment, [which may be debited from any of Borrower’s accounts; and

          (d) such other documents, and completion of such other matters, as Bank may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate.
     7. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
