Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     Effective September 1, 2005, Targeted Genetics entered into an amendment to a Funding Agreement with Biogen Idec, Inc., together with two Amended and Restated Promissory Notes, to restructure the repayment of outstanding debt in principal amounts of $10.0 million and $650,000, respectively. Under the amended agreements, Targeted Genetics made an initial payment on September 1, 2005 to Biogen Idec of $2.5 million, and agreed to make additional payments of approximately $3.1 million in August 2007 and $2.5 million in each of August 2008 and August 2009. In addition, Biogen Idec will receive one-third of certain up-front milestone payments received by the Targeted Genetics as prepayments of the remaining outstanding debt to be applied first to the payment of any accrued and unpaid interest on the principal being repaid and second to the payment of outstanding principal in reverse order of maturity (starting with the outstanding principal due on the latest payment date set forth above). In addition, Targeted Genetics granted Biogen Idec a right of co-sale in certain equity financings approved by Targeted Genetics’ board of directors before November 30, 2005 and Biogen Idec agreed not to sell any of its shares of Targeted Genetics common stock until the earlier of November 30, 2005 and the completion of such a financing. Biogen Idec also agreed to enter into an additional lock-up agreement if Targeted Genetics completes an equity financing before November 30, 2005. A press release announcing the debt restructure is attached as an exhibit to this Report.
     The Amendment No. 2 to Funding Agreement and the Amended and Restated Promissory Notes are attached as exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 and incorporated herein by reference.
