profitability of the product and other relevant factors. With respect to Roche,

it is understood that such Product potential may change from time to time based

upon changing scientific, business and marketing and return on investment

considerations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties also acknowledge that

Roche (and its Affiliates) do not always seek to market its own products in

every such country or seek to obtain regulatory approval in every such country

Product-by-Collaboration Product basis:

(a) Clinical Candidate Selection $[...***...]

(b) Initiation of Phase 1 $[...***...]

***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

<PAGE>

(d) Initiation of Phase 3 $[...***...]

(e) Receipt of first Regulatory Approval $[...***...]

Roche shall make each of such payments only once for the first occurrence of the

requisite event for the Collaboration Product regardless of how many times the

event may be subsequently achieved with the particular Collaboration Product.

Roche shall make each of such payments for the first Collaboration Product to

achieve the applicable event, provided that (i) if Roche ceases all development

of a particular Collaboration Product after having made one or more payments

with respect to such Collaboration Product under this Section 3.3 following

accomplishment of any Development Event, there shall be no payment due upon the

accomplishment of that same Development Event with respect to a subsequent

Collaboration Product; and (ii) if Roche has received Regulatory Approval for a

Collaboration Product and continues development of an additional Collaboration

Product ("Subsequent Product"), payments will be due under this Section 3.3 for

the achievement of Development Events by the Subsequent Product (including those

Development Events which may have been achieved by the Subsequent Product prior

to such receipt of Regulatory Approval).

3.4 Royalties. Roche will pay to SGX during the Royalty Term the

following royalties on Net Sales of Collaboration Products by or on behalf of

Roche or its Affiliates or Sublicensees on a Collaboration

Product-by-Collaboration Product basis on the following tiers:

Net Sales up to US $[...***...] [...***...]%

Net Sales from US $[...***...] to US $[...***...] [...***...]%

Net Sales over US $[...***...] [...***...]%

3.5 Combination Products. In the event the Collaboration Product is sold

as part of a combination product containing a Licensed Compound and one or more

other pharmaceutically active ingredients, the Net Sales of the Collaboration

Product shall be determined by multiplying the Net Sales (as determined in the

manner described above) of the combination product by the fraction A/B, where A

is the weighted average sale price of the Collaboration Product containing the

Licensed Compound alone as a pharmaceutically active ingredient (in the same

strength as contained in the combination product) when sold separately in

finished form, and B is the weighted average sale price of the Collaboration

Product sold as part of a combination product when sold separately in finished

form. In the event that such average sale price cannot be determined for the

Collaboration Product containing the Licensed Compound alone as a

pharmaceutically active ingredient, Net Sales shall be mutually agreed by the

parties based on the relative value contributed by each pharmaceutically active

ingredient contained in such Collaboration Product, and such agreement shall not

be unreasonably withheld.

3.6 Third Party Royalties. In the event that Roche, is required to pay

royalties to a Third Party for licenses to composition of matter patents

claiming compounds within an Early Lead Series, Roche may offset up to

[...***...] percent ([...***...]%) of such amounts due

***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

<PAGE>

Third Parties against payments due SGX under Section 3.4 above; PROVIDED,

HOWEVER, that Roche may not offset these amounts against more than [...***...]

percent ([...***...]%) of the royalties otherwise due SGX in any calendar

quarter. Any amount that has not been so offset may be offset against royalties

due in subsequent calendar quarters, subject to the limitation set forth in the

previous sentence.

3.7 Withholding Taxes. All amounts due under this Agreement shall be

paid without deduction, set-off or counterclaim and shall be made in full

without deduction of income, value added or other taxes, charges or duties that

may be imposed. If any payment due under this Agreement is or will be subject to

any tax, including withholding tax, Roche shall pay to SGX the amount that will

ensure SGX receives and retains a net sum equal to the payment it would have

received had the payment not been subject to such tax.

3.8 Reports; Payments. The royalties due under Section 3.4 shall be paid

quarterly within forty-five (45) days after the close of each calendar quarter,

or earlier if practicable, immediately following each quarterly period in which

such royalties are earned. With each such quarterly payment, Roche shall furnish

SGX a royalty statement setting forth in reasonable detail Collaboration

Product-by- Collaboration Product basis: (i) Adjusted Gross Sales; (ii) Net

Sales; and (iii) the royalties due SGX in such quarter.

3.9 Currency Conversion. All amounts required to be paid under this

Agreement shall be paid in United States dollars. Whenever calculation of Net

Sales requires conversion from any foreign currency, Roche shall convert the

amount of Net Sales in foreign currencies as computed in the Roche's central

Swiss Francs Sales Statistics for the countries concerned. Roche shall first

convert the amount of Net Sales into Swiss Francs and then into United States

dollars, using the YTD average exchange rate, in accordance with Roche's then

current standard practices.

3.10 Late Payments. Any payments or portions thereof due hereunder which

are not paid on the date such payments are due, shall bear interest at the rate

equal to the lesser of the prime rate as reported by the Chase Manhattan Bank,

New York, New York, plus [...***...] percent ([...***...]%) or the maximum

amount permitted by law, compounded monthly. This Section 3.10 shall in no way

limit any other remedies available to SGX.

3.11 Audits. Roche shall maintain accurate books and records which enable

the calculation of royalties payable under this Agreement to be verified. Roche

shall maintain the books and records for each quarterly period for three (3)

years after the submission of the corresponding report under Section 3.8. Upon

thirty (30) days prior notice to Roche, Roche's independent accountants,

reasonably acceptable to SGX, may have access to Roche's books and records after

executing a reasonable confidentiality agreement, during Roche's normal business

hours at mutually agreed times to conduct a review or audit no more than once

per calendar year, and no more than once with respect to any time period, for

the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy of Roche's payments and compliance

with this Agreement. The accounting firm shall report to SGX only whether there

has been a royalty underpayment and, if so, the extent thereof. Any such

inspection shall be at SGX's expense, however, in the event that an inspection

reveals

***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

<PAGE>

underpayment of 5% or more in any audit period, Roche shall pay the costs of the

inspection. Roche shall promptly pay to SGX any underpayment identified in such

audit, with interest from the date such amount(s) were due at the prime rate

reported by the Chase Manhattan Bank, New York, New York plus [...***...]

percent ([...***...]%). The failure of SGX to request verification of any

payment calculation during which corresponding records are required to be

retained under this Section 3.11 shall be considered acceptance of such

reporting by SGX.
