ARTICLE 7

General Payment Provisions and Royalty Reports

7.1. Currency. All monies due to GPC hereunder are payable in United States dollars. When Products are sold for monies other than United States dollars, the earned royalties will first be determined in the foreign currency of the country in which such Products were sold and then converted into equivalent United States funds. The exchange rate will be the average rate between the buying and selling rate as quoted in the Wall Street Journal on the last business day of the reporting period.

7.2. Foreign Legal Restrictions on Payment. If at any time legal restrictions prevent the prompt remittance of part or all payments by BG with respect to any country where a Product is sold, unless prohibited from lawfully doing so, BG shall pay GPC directly from another source of funds for the amount impounded. BG will then pay all future royalties due to the other from another source of funds so long as the legal restrictions of this section still apply.

7.3. First Commercial Sale. BG also agrees to report to GPC in its immediately subsequent progress and royalty report the date of First Commercial Sale of a Product in each country.

7.4. Quarterly Payment Reports. After the First Commercial Sale of a Product anywhere in the world, BG shall make quarterly payment reports to GPC on or before the first day of March, June, September and December of each year for the preceding calendar quarter. Each report shall cover the most recently completed calendar quarter and shall show (a) the gross sales and Net Sales of Products sold during the most recently completed calendar quarter; (b) the number of each type of Products sold; (c) the royalties, in U.S. dollars, payable with respect to the sales; (d) the method used to calculate the payments owed to GPC; and (e) the exchange rates used. If no sales of Products are made during any reporting period, a statement to this effect is required.

7.5. Interest on Late Payments. BG will be in default with respect to payment, without receipt of a reminder from GPC, for all payments not paid timely. In case of default with respect to payment, any amount not paid timely shall bear interest from its due date through the date of effective receipt of payment at the rate of 4% over the prime rate published in the eastern edition of The Wall Street Journal on the date such payment was due or a comparable newspaper if The Wall Street Journal shall cease publishing the prime rate.

7.6. Taxes. All prices under this Agreement (royalties and other prices) are net prices. Any payment under this Agreement shall be made plus value added tax, if value added tax is levied under applicable law. Fees of any nature levied or incurred on account of any payments

from BG to GPC accruing under this Agreement, by national, state or local governments, will be assumed and paid by BG.

ARTICLE 8

Books and Records

8.1. Accounting and Internal Controls. GPC and BG shall maintain accounts in accordance with good business practices and, specifically, shall (a) maintain full and accurate books, records and accounts which shall, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect all transactions related to this Agreement as far as reasonably necessary in order to determine the respective other Party’s claims thereunder (the “Transactions”); such books and records shall include a reasonable supporting documentation which may be necessary in particular for purposes of evidencing the Net Sales with respect to Products for which a royalty is due; and (b) devise and maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (i) Transactions are executed in accordance with general or specific authorisations, and (ii) Transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and as otherwise required to comply with all tax statutes, and to maintain accountability for assets.

8.2. Records and Audits. Each Party’s books of account and reasonable supporting documentation shall be kept at each Party’s principal place of business and shall be open at all reasonable times, for a minimum of five (5) years following the end of the calendar year to which they pertain (and access shall not be denied thereafter if reasonably available), to the inspection, to the extent reasonably required for verifying a Party’s claims against the other Party hereunder, by an independent certified public accountant or auditor retained by the auditing Party and acceptable to the other Party (e.g., KPMG) for the purpose of verifying the other Party’s statements with respect to, e.g., Net Sales of Products for which a Royalty is due, or the other Party’s compliance in other material respects with this Agreement provided, however, that such an audit shall not be conducted more frequently than once during a calendar year. In the event that any such audit discloses any deviation, the related balance shall promptly be settled. Further, if any such audit discloses deviations exceeding five percent (5 %) or more for any calendar year, then the Party whose statement was incorrect shall promptly pay the reasonable costs of such audit after receipt of the auditing Party’s bill/invoice for such audit.

ARTICLE 10

Confidential Information and Publications

10.1. Non-disclosure Obligations. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 10, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of ten (10) years thereafter, both Parties shall maintain in confidence and use only for purposes specifically authorized under this Agreement Information and data received from the other Party or created, discovered or conceived by the other Party in connection with the Collaboration hereunder (“Confidential Information”).

To the extent it is reasonably necessary or appropriate to fulfill its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement, a Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party that it is otherwise obligated under this Section not to disclose to its Affiliates, licensees, sublicensees, consultants, outside contractors and clinical investigators, on a need-to-know basis on condition that such entities or persons agree in writing to keep such Confidential Information confidential under appropriate confidentiality agreements. The term Confidential Information shall not include any information that (i) is or becomes published or otherwise part of the public domain other than by acts of the Party obligated not to disclose such information or its licensees or sublicensees in contravention of this Agreement; (ii) is disclosed to the receiving Party or its licensees or sublicensees by a Third Party, provided that such information was not obtained by such Third Party directly or indirectly from the other Party in confidence; (iii) prior to disclosure under this Agreement, was already in the possession of the receiving Party or its licensees or sublicensees, provided that such information was not obtained directly or indirectly from the other Party in confidence; or (iv) can be shown by written documents to have been independently developed by the receiving Party or its licensees or sublicensees without breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

In the event the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party is required to be disclosed by the recipient pursuant to a legal, judicial, or administrative procedure, as required by law, the recipient may make the disclosure provided that the Party being required to disclose such Confidential Information gives the Party owning the Confidential Information notice of the proposed disclosure with sufficient time to seek relief and that such disclosure, if made, is made so as to minimize the disclosure at such time and to maximize the protection of the information from further disclosure.

10.2. Terms of this Agreement/Use of Name. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, neither Party shall use the name of the other Party in any publicity or advertising without the prior written approval of the other Party, except that either Party may disclose the existence of the Collaboration. BG agrees that GPC may disclose under a corresponding confidentiality obligation of such Third Party, a copy of this Agreement to any Third Party from whom GPC has licensed technology that GPC is sublicensing to BG under this Agreement if necessary and only to the extent to fulfill GPC’s obligations under GPC’s agreement with such Third Party. Except as set forth in the previous sentence, each of GPC and BG agrees not to disclose any terms or conditions of this Agreement to any other Third Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, except as required by applicable law or to a Third Party with whom GPC or BG has entered into or proposes to enter into a business relationship related to the subject matter hereof or to a Third Party with whom GPC or BG is in due diligence relating to a merger or an acquisition or a financing, and provided that such Third Parties are subject to appropriate confidentiality agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, GPC and BG agree to publish a mutually agreeable press release within five (5) days of signing this Agreement to describe this transaction. GPC and BG may disclose such information in an unmodified manner from time to time, without the other Party’s consent.

10.3. Publications. GPC and BG each acknowledge the other Party’s interest in publishing certain of the results of the Collaboration to obtain recognition within the scientific community and to advance the state of scientific knowledge. Further, BG acknowledges that GPC can use results obtained before and during the Collaboration for corporate presentations; however, only to such extent that all references to Targets or Compounds identified will not be disclosed. Each Party also recognizes the mutual interest in obtaining valid patent protection. Consequently, either Party, or its employees, wishing to make a publication (including any oral disclosure made without obligation of confidentiality) relating to work performed as part of the Collaboration (the “Publishing Party”) shall transmit to the other Party (the “Reviewing Party”) a copy of the proposed written publication at least sixty (60) days prior to submission for publication, or an abstract of such oral disclosure at least fourteen (14) days prior to submission of the abstract or the oral disclosure, whichever is earlier. The Reviewing Party shall have the right (a) to propose modifications to the publication for accuracy and/or patent reasons or (b) to request a delay in or, if mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties, abandonment of publication or presentation in order to protect patentable information until filing of patent applications or publications of patent applications to maintain trade secrets.

If the Reviewing Party requests such a delay or abandonment, the Publishing Party shall delay submission or presentation of the publication for a period determined by mutual written consent of the Parties, or abandon such submission or publication if agreed to in writing by the Parties, to enable patent applications protecting each Party’s rights in such information to be filed or published or to protect trade secrets. Additionally, no Confidential Information of the Reviewing Party, other than work performed as part of Collaboration, shall be disclosed in any such publication without the prior written consent of the Reviewing Party which consent may be granted or withheld in the Reviewing Party’s sole discretion. Absent such consent, the Publishing Party shall delete such Confidential Information of the Reviewing Party from the publication.

GPC shall have the right, exercisable during a term of three (3) months following receipt of BG’s notification, to have BG assign the BG Intellectual Property concerned to GPC. If GPC elects to exercise such right, BG shall assign such BG Intellectual Property to GPC without undue delay and GPC shall be obliged to reimburse BG for fifty percent (50%) of all reasonable costs actually incurred by BG relating to the filing, prosecution and maintenance of such patents or patent applications prior to the date of such assignment.

GPC shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain a discontinuance of such infringement or bring suit against the Third Party infringer within three (3) months from the date of notice. GPC shall bear the expenses of any suit or other legal action brought by it. BG shall have the right prior to commencement of the trial, suit or action taken by GPC to join any such suit or action, and in such event shall pay one-half of the costs of such suit or action. In the event that BG has not joined the suit or action, BG will reasonably cooperate with GPC and shall have the right to consult with GPC and be represented by counsel, at its own expense. Any recovery or damages derived from a suit or action in which BG has joined and shared costs shall be used first to reimburse each Party’s documented out-of-pocket legal expenses with any remainder shared equally between the Parties. Any recovery or damages derived from a suit or action in which BG has not joined shall be retained by GPC.

12.1.2 If after the expiration of the three (3) month period GPC has not commenced or, if commenced, is not actively pursuing, legal action against an infringer, BG shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring suit against such an infringer under the GPC Patents within the Field and join GPC as a party plaintiff; provided, however, that BG shall bear all expenses of such suit.

No settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of the suit or action may be entered into without the consent of GPC. In the event that GPC has not joined the suit or action, GPC will reasonably cooperate with BG and shall have the right to consult with BG and be represented by counsel, at its own expense. Any recovery or damages derived from a suit or action in which GPC has joined and shared costs shall be used first to reimburse each Party’s documented out-of-pocket legal expenses with any remainder shared equally between the Parties. Any recovery or damages derived from a suit or action in which GPC has not joined shall be retained by BG; provided, however, that such recovery or damages, after reimbursement of BG’s documented out of pocket legal expenses, shall be treated as Net Sales of Products.

12.2. Infringement by Third Parties of BG Intellectual Property and/or Collaboration Patents.

12.2.1 If either BG or GPC becomes aware of an infringement of any patent rights included within the BG Intellectual Property (to the extent that GPC is a licensee of BG Intellectual Property hereunder) and/or the Collaboration Patents included in the Licensed Patents, it shall give prompt notice thereof to the other Party. BG shall have the right but not the obligation to obtain a discontinuance of such infringement or bring suit against the Third Party infringer within three (3) months from the date of notice. BG shall bear the expenses of any suit or other legal action brought by it. GPC shall have the right prior to commencement of the trial, suit or action taken by BG to join any such suit or action, and in such event shall pay one-half of

the costs of such suit or action. In the event that GPC has not joined the suit or action, GPC will reasonably cooperate with BG and shall have the right to consult with BG and be represented by counsel, at its own expense. Any recovery or damages derived from a suit or action in which GPC has joined and shared costs shall be used first to reimburse each Party’s documented out-of-pocket legal expenses with any remainder shared equally between the Parties. Any recovery or damages derived from a suit or action in which GPC has not joined shall be retained by BG; provided, however, that such recovery or damages, after reimbursement of BG’s documented out of pocket legal expenses, shall be treated as Net Sales of Products.

12.2.2 If after the expiration of the three (3) month period BG has not commenced or, if commenced, is not actively pursuing, legal action against an infringer, GPC shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring suit against such an infringer under any patent rights included within the BG Intellectual Property and/or the Collaboration Patents included in the Licensed Patents, and join BG as a party plaintiff; provided, however, that GPC shall bear all expenses of such suit. BG shall have the right, prior to commencement of the trial, suit or action taken by GPC, to join any such suit or action, and in such event pay one-half the costs of such suit or action. No settlement, consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of the suit or action may be entered into without the consent of BG. In the event that BG has not joined the suit or action, BG will reasonably cooperate with GPC and shall have the right to consult with GPC and be represented by counsel, at its own expense. Any recovery or damages derived from a suit or action in which BG has joined and shared costs shall be used first to reimburse each Party’s documented out-of-pocket legal expenses with any remainder shared equally between the Parties. Any recovery or damages derived from a suit or action in which BG has not joined shall be retained by GPC.

12.3. Infringement Actions against BG. In the event that any action, suit or proceeding is brought against, or written notice or threat thereof is provided to, BG alleging infringement of any patent or unauthorized use or misappropriation of technology arising out of or in connection with BG’s practice of Licensed Patents (to the extent such action, suit or proceeding specifically relates to claims included in such Licensed Patents, an “Infringement Suit”) or the GPC Platform, BG shall have the right to defend at its own expense such action; provided, however, that BG shall not settle any suit in a manner that would adversely affect GPC’s rights to its intellectual property or require the payment in settlement of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action without the prior written consent of GPC, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. GPC agrees to cooperate with BG, at BG’s expense, in connection with an Infringement Suit. In the event of an Infringement Suit, BG may elect to have GPC assume, at GPC’s expense, the defense and the damages, if any, resulting from such Infringement Suit to the extent such Infringement Suit relates to GPC Patents, including without limitation royalty payments required to be made by BG to any Third Party as a result of an Infringement Suit. If BG desires to make the election described in the preceding sentence, it shall promptly notify GPC of the nature of the Infringement Suit and the identity of the other party to the Infringement Suit. In such event, GPC shall assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that BG shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by BG, if representation of BG by the counsel retained by GPC would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between BG and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceedings. The failure to deliver notice to GPC within a reasonable time after the commencement of any such action, if and only to the extent the

delay is prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve GPC of any liability to BG under this Section. BG, its employees and agents, shall cooperate fully with GPC and its legal representatives in the investigation of any action, claim or liability covered by this Section.

The Parties shall use reasonable efforts to work together to cure any breach, the breaching Party being obliged to cover reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the non-breaching Party in connection therewith. In the event of a dispute by one Party in good faith concerning whether a material breach has occurred, the 90-day cure period specified above shall be suspended during the period such dispute is pending resolution pursuant to Section 16.2 hereof and continuing until the resolution of such dispute.

15.2.2 Failure to Pay. By GPC, if BG fails to make any payment to GPC hereunder within thirty (30) days after such payment becomes payable, and, in any such case, such failure is not remedied within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from GPC; provided, however, that if such payment relates to a payment due with respect to a particular

Product, Project Candidate, Accepted Target, Viable Target or Catalogue Target in lieu of termination of this Agreement all licenses and rights granted to BG hereunder relating to such Product, Project Candidate, Accepted Target, Viable Target or Catalogue Target shall terminate, and BG will immediately cease to use such Accepted Target, Viable Target or Catalogue Target or cease to manufacture and sell such Products (except as provided in Section 15.3.4). In the event of a dispute by one Party in good faith concerning whether a failure to pay has occurred, the 30-day cure period specified above shall be suspended during the period such dispute is pending resolution pursuant to Section 16.2 hereof and continuing until the resolution of such dispute.

15.2.3 Bankruptcy. By either Party upon bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or winding up of the other Party.

Collaborative Research Programs

1.11.2001

1.	Executive Summary

The implementation of two collaborative research programs is aimed to facilitate a rapid and productive transfer of certain GPC Biotech technology platforms to the Altana Genomic Research Center (AGRC, henceforth called “Center”) in Waltham, MA, USA. The programs are designed to utilize different but also overlapping capabilities (e.g. molecular cloning, robotics/automation and bioinformatics) that cover certain defined technologies in genomics, functional genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics and automation technology. The focus of the projects, although ensuring technology transfer, must reflect the needs of Byk Gulden R & D to support BG’s internal programs. It is anticipated that the collaborative programs span the first 3.5 years of the build up of the Center, and support the development of existing and future drug discovery programs at Byk Gulden - through the identification and validation of novel candidate drug discovery targets.

The programs are designed to a) accelerate the primary technology training phase in therapeutic areas of interest to Byk Gulden, and b) to enable the Center to subsequently explore new programs and applications of the technologies for its internal purposes. Immediately following the primary technology training phase, technology improvements will be transferred to the Center during the Establishment Term.

It is understood that the collaborative programs cover the use and transfer of the GPC technologies, as described in Exhibit A and F. The key collaborative research programs are (i) the *** Research Program and (ii) the *** Program. The projects to be performed under these programs, as briefly outlined below, are considered as proposed projects from the view of November 1, 2001. These projects and additional projects within the two collaborative programs will be updated and agreed upon the parties on a Collaboration Committe level and Joint Steering Committe level, respectively, to take into consideration both the needs of Byk R & D and successful establishment of the Center.

The collaborative research programs span the following areas:

•

Proteomics target discovery based on *** strategies(*** Research Program)

***	Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

The large scale sequencing of the human genome is leading to a vast increase in the number and classification of genes, as well as to significant acceleration in the ability to link genes and diseases. Understanding signaling cascades that control normal and pathological process is an essential next step in the functional analysis of the human genome, and the discovery and validation of novel drug discovery targets. Protein-protein interactions constitute a key element in information transfer across signaling pathways. Thus, the mapping of protein-protein interactions identifies not only active components of such signaling pathways, but may also lead to the identification of novel targets for the development of therapeutics that selectively interfere with signaling along specific “wires” of cellular circuitry.

Proteomics *** technologies will be utilized in the collaborative program to support:

•

The discovery of novel signaling pathway components and targets in the field of ***. Starting points for ***are expected to emerge from activities within the ***

•

The discovery of novel components and targets in the field of *** and other therapeutic areas. This includes publicly known genes/proteins or proprietary targets derived from Byk Gulden internal research efforts. Starting points will be selected by the Collaboration Committee of the Center.

Functional genomics target discovery (*** Program)

The large scale sequencing of the human genome is leading to a vast increase in the number and classification of genes and their encoded proteins. This provides a new framework for the design of more focused discovery strategies in the future. In the context of proteomics-based target discovery strategies, as described above, these include an acceleration of the discovery and assembly of signaling pathways and, consequently, the discovery and validation of novel candidate drug targets. However, the blueprint of the human genome also provides new inroads to rapidly identify, clone and analyse the function of genes pertaining to various categories of gene families – a select proportion of which encode “drugable targets” in the historical context of pharmaceutical drug discovery. These include various membrane receptors and their ligands, ion channels and multiple enzyme families, which include the *** family of signaling proteins. Bioinformatics-based mining of the human genome for specific sequences characteristic of certain gene families, in conjunction with sophisticated molecular cloning and robotic/automation technologies, should provide an effective means to establish a repository of full length cDNA clones encoding such “drugable targets”. Once such resource is developed, cDNA clones may be utilized in many different ways to explore the biological function of the cloned genes and the development of assays required for many different types of drug discovery programs – irrespective of therapeutic area.

It is the objective of the “functional genomics target discovery program” to leverage various GPC technology platforms to teach the establishment of such resource repositories for subsequent use in diverse discovery programs to be determined by the Collaboration Committee of the Center at a later stage. More specifically, in the context of the collaborative program GPC technologies will be utilized to support:

•

The cloning and analysis of a significant proportion of *** encoded by the human genome. *** have been shown to be implicated in various types of diseases and represent a most important category of “drugable targets”. The use of the *** resource generated during this collaborative research program will be decided by the Collaboration Committee of the Center at the appropriate time.

•

The possible targeted cloning of gene families other than ***. Priorities will be set by the Collaboration Committee of the Center at the appropriate time.

2.	Research Programs

2.1.

Proteomics Target Discovery & Validation

Key cellular signaling functions are known to take place through a series of induced interactions of proteins. The mapping of protein-protein interactions and their associated cellular signaling pathways, therefore, represent an essential component in the understanding of the function of proteins in normal and pathological processes. An understanding of the interaction of a specific target with its cellular environment is also an essential component of the target validation and prioritization process in drug discovery. Knowledge of the complement of the human genome will further accelerate this kind of broader target validation concept in the future, as well as accelerate the discovery of novel and better candidate drug targets.

To enable Byk to develop and utilize an infrastructure to support more complex target discovery and validation, GPC will transfer several defined proteomics technologies to the Center. These support the large scale analysis of molecular interactions for ***.

2.1.1.

Technologies and Work Flows

The proteomics-based target discovery programs will utilize GPC’s PathCode^™ and UbiCode^™ integrated technology platforms. These platforms integrate multiple technologies, including:

•

GPC’s Y2H (Yeast two Hybrid) and DEUS (Detection Enhanced Ubiquitin Split System) technologies for protein-protein interaction analysis in yeast and to some extent in mammalian model systems

***	Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

•

Molecular cloning technologies for the production of complex cDNA libraries for use in protein-protein interaction screening, and the synthesis of full length cDNAs for extended *** and target validation

•

Robotics and automation technologies for the generation of E.coli, yeast and DNA arrays to support integrated work flows and the scale-up of interaction screening

•

Bioinformatics technologies to support array image analysis and integrated data analysis and pathway visualization

The objective is to establish collaborative working groups, which facilitate the transfer (GPC) and acquisistion (Center) of technologies in these different disciplines. The working groups will collaborate to enable early low throughput protein-protein interaction screening with defined entry points (selected baits, see below), as reasonably possible with the allocated headcount. In this first phase of the collaborative programs emphasis will be put primarily on the exercise of the yeast-based interaction screening technologies. In addition, the development and applications of the UbiCode^™ technology to mammalian systems will be explored. In the second phase, a coordinated integration of the various technologies occurs, leading to the implementation of the PathCode^™ and UbiCode^™ platforms within the Center even for high-throughput analyses of protein interactions. This should enable Byk Gulden’s independent uses of the technologies in the mapping of protein networks and signaling pathways.

2.1.2.

Oncology Target Discovery

SLS targets

As outlined previously, the collaborative programs are designed to provide a rapid entry into the primary technology-training phase by utilizing validated application of the technologies in therapeutic areas of interest to Byk Gulden. It is anticipated that interesting new candidate *** genes will be identified through the ***. Targets identified through use of the *** (SLS) under the existing ***, should be suitable entry points for the mapping of signaling pathways linked to such targets. It is possible that the identified targets may not be the optimal drug target in the signal pathway. Thus, mapping signaling pathways associated with the identified targets should provide a broader-based validation of such targets, potentially leading to the discovery of novel mechanisms controlling ***, and the identification of novel drug discovery targets more suitable for the development of therapeutics that ***.

Implementation will involve the cloning of multiple variants of selected baits as well as a number of control baits known to GPC in terms of their interaction patterns, into various GPC’s expression vectors for interaction screening (PathCode^™ and UbiCode^™). In a first instance cDNA libraries already made by GPC, may be used (to a reasonable extent), followed by the use of custom-made libraries that will be derived

***	Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

from the cell model systems used in the primary ***. This should increase the likelihood of identifying targets implicated in mediating the *** phenotype associated with inhibition of the SLS-identified target. Binding partners identified may subsequently be verified with the mammalian UbiCode^™ technology. As the mammalian UbiCode^™ technology is further developed, multiplexing and/or focused library screening may also become available in mammalian cells (technology updates).

Initial focus on interaction screening efforts using control baits and SLS targets, will ensure the transfer of GPC’s yeast genetics/biology expertise, the handling and transfer of associated reagents, as well as the initial integration of other technology aspects (molecular cloning, production of various array formats, bioinformatics tools).

Non-SLS Targets

In addition to the SLS target program, non-SLS targets of interest to Byk Gulden may be chosen as additional entry points for interaction screening. The general workflow for non-SLS projects is as described above. Non-SLS targets may be selected from proprietary targets which are already in or emerging from internal Byk discovery efforts, namely from *** research programs but also other aereas of Byk, and/or selected from a pool of publicly known targets of special interest for Byk (e.g. genes with relevance for *** etc.).The Collaboration Committee along with the Joint Steering Committee will be responsible for the coordination and prioritization of all targets to be selected for interaction screening within the collaboration programs.

2.2.	Functional Genomics Target Discovery: The *** Program

*** represent a class of enzymes that has been pursued extensively in drug discovery programs in the pharmaceutical industry. The revelation of a previously unknown contingent of *** through the human genome sequencing efforts, promises to lead to the discovery of many more *** drug targets in the future. Furthermore, knowledge of all *** encoded by the human genome will greatly facilitate the development of more specific *** inhibitors in the future. Thus, the cloning of a significant set of human *** promises to accelerate any existing or future *** discovery programs. It is the objective of this program to leverage various GPC technology platforms to achieve the assembly of such a repository of new potential drug targets to enable their subsequent functional analysis and validation as drug discovery targets for any therapeutic area of interest to Byk Gulden. The expertise developed in the context of this program are readily transferable to other categories of candidate drug discovery targets.

2.2.1.

Technologies and Work Flows

The *** program will integrate multiple technology platforms:

•

GPC’s bioinformatics technology platform to support human genome sequence scans, function prediction, design of oligonucleotides, array production and platforms for data analysis and integration

•

Molecular cloning technologies for the cloning of relevant cDNA libraries and cDNAs encoding ***, the generation of various derivatives of such *** for subsequent functional studies such as, for instance, dominant negative variants of *** suitable for biological studies and *** studies (could involve expression studies in yeast) or derivatives suitable for use in drug discovery assays.

•

Robotics and automation technologies to support the generation of arrayed libraries and the archiving of permanent resources of any cloned material (cDNA repository).

The objective is the transfer of such technologies in the context of the *** research program. Integration of such resources into discovery programs relevant to Byk Gulden will be agreed upon by the Collaboration Committee and the Joint Steering Committee sometime during the duration of the collaboration.

Further steps of the proposed *** research program will be coordinated by Joint Steering Committee and the corresponding Collaboration Committee.

3.	Summary

Optional Platform Technologies

Module 1: Field – Genomics Technologies for Target Discovery

Technologies: ExpressCode^™

ExpressCode^™ integrates a number of GPC’s automated genomics and bioinformatics capabilities for the array-based analysis of the expression profiles of thousands of genes in parallel. Technologies include robot-assisted DNA array production, large scale PCR technology, complex probe generation & hybridization protocols, as well as various data analysis tools.

Module 2: Field – Proteomics Technologies for Target Discovery

Technologies: ProteoCode^™ (Affinity-based protein purification methodologies, 2DGE, MS, bioinformatics)

These technologies pertain to the use of affinity separation methods for the purification of proteins and protein complexes. GPC has developed systems for rapid sequential or parallel purification of specifically tagged proteins generated by overexpression in E.coli. (the same systems should be useful for purification of proteins expressed in different hosts). These high throughput purification technologies are used in the biochemical and functional characterization of proteins and the study of protein-ligand interactions (ligand may be protein or small molecule). Affinity-based purification methods also pertain to the isolation of protein complexes. This may be performed via capturing a protein on a solid support (e.g. via an affinity tag) and the subsequent isolation of any binding protein present in a test sample. Alternatively, this may be performed via capturing preformed cellular complexes, as isolated from lysed cells. Binding proteins are subsequently analyzed by 1 or 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. 2DGE and MS technologies may also be used to study protein expression profiles.

Module 3: Field – Proteomics Array Technologies for Target & Drug Discovery Applications

Technologies: Protein purification methodologies, protein array production, robotics/automation, bioinformatics

Purified proteins (see module 2) may be used to generate protein arrays for various target and drug discovery applications. GPC is developing such technology to allow the screening of *** against an array of *** substrates (*** substrate array technology). Similarly, protein arrays may be used for conceivably numerous other applications, including various types of “receptor-ligand” interaction studies (yet to be tested). The technology integrates GPC’s protein purification technologies, robotics/automation technologies, and bioinformatics capabilities.

Module 4: Field – Proteomics Technologies for Drug-Target Discovery

Technologies: Affinity-based drug-protein purification methodologies, chemistry, 2DGE, MS, bioinformatics

***	Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

These technologies pertain to the use of affinity chromatographic methods for the characterization of the interaction of small molecules with target proteins. GPC is developing methods that integrate protein biochemical separation techniques, the use of specifically engineered small molecules, and protein analytical methods for the characterization of in vitro formed or cellular small molecule-protein interactions and complexes

Module 5: Field – Drug discovery;

Technologies: GPC compound library

GPC’s small molecule library, that integrates approximately 80,000 - 100,000 compounds.

Module 6: Field – Bioinformatics

Technologies: CodeBase^™; Image analysis, data analysis, data handling and clustering tools for ExpressCode^™

These technologies include (a) a number of software tools for image analysis, data analysis, data query and integration, data handling (LIMS) and data clustering needed for gene expression profiling analyses (such as ExpressCode^™), and (b) the GPC database system (CodeBase^™) which is currently under development.

Additional Third Party Technology Modules for Sublicensing:

Module 7: Field – MaRX Technology

Technologies: MaRX Technology, as exclusively licensed from Genetica Inc. (as of May 1, 1998), related to inventions generally characterized as complementation screening using modified retroviral MaRX vectors

This technology may potentially be utilized in the *** research program to eventually support the functional analysis of *** family members and determination of their role in the regulation of ***, and the discovery of novel *** targets for the development of novel drug discovery programs.

Module 8: Field – Y3H Technology

Technologies: GPC’s Y3H Technology

This technology represents a chemical proteomics technology platform that may be employed in the analysis of the specificity of small molecule-target interactions. It may potentially be used for the analysis of a) proprietary compounds emerging from internal BG drug discovery efforts (e.g., *** etc.), b) a spectrum of *** (as reference compounds) and their target interaction landscape.
