Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     On August 4, 2006, Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (“Halozyme”) and Sorrento Square (“Sorrento”) entered into a First Amendment to Standard Industrial Lease (the “First Amendment”). The First Amendment is effective as of July 1, 2006 and it amends the Standard Industrial Net Lease Halozyme and Sorrento originally entered into on October 28, 2004 (the “First Lease”). On August 4, 2006, Halozyme and Sorrento also entered into a Second Amendment to Standard Industrial Lease (the “Second Amendment” and, along with the First Amendment, the “Amendments”). The Second Amendment is also effective as of July 1, 2006 and it further amends the Standard Industrial Net Lease Halozyme and Sorrento originally entered into on May 20, 2003 (the “Second Lease” and, along with the First Lease, the “Leases”).

     Halozyme’s primary administrative and research activities occur on the premises subject to the Leases, and the Amendments extend the terms of both Leases through December 31, 2007. In addition, the First Amendment increases Halozyme’s administrative and research space through the addition of two extra suites. Halozyme will receive a tenant improvement allowance of $83,500 under the First Amendment in connection with the addition of these two suites. The aggregate amount of minimum monthly rent that Halozyme owes to Sorrento under the Leases is also increased to approximately $31,000 per month.

     The preceding description of the Amendments is a summary of the material terms of those agreements and does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by the copies of each such agreement which are attached to this Form 8-K.
