                          ARTICLE III.  DUE DILIGENCE

     A.   Licensee shall use its good faith and reasonable best efforts to bring
one or more Licensed Products and/or Licensed Processes to market as soon as
reasonably practicable, consistent with sound and reasonable business practices
and judgment, through a thorough, vigorous and diligent program for exploitation
of the Patent Rights.  Thereafter, Licensee agrees that until expiration or
termination of this Agreement, Licensee shall continue active and diligent

Right, it shall promptly inform CMCC in writing and shall surrender to CMCC its
license to that Patent Right.

     B.   Licensee shall accomplish development of Licensed Products and/or
Licensed Processes according to the following timetable:

               or its foreign the equivalent in a country with reasonably
               comparable requirements within two (2) years from the
               identification of the first lead compound; and

          2.   file a New Drug Application ("NDA") for a Licensed Product with
               the United States FDA or its foreign equivalent in a country with
               reasonably comparable requirements within six (6) years from
               the first filing of an IND with the United States FDA or its
               foreign equivalent.

The above milestones and completion times shall be referred to hereinafter as
the "Development Plan".

     C.   Licensee shall use good faith and diligent efforts to accomplish the
milestones set forth in the Development Plan and to manufacture and distribute
Licensed Products and Licensed Processes.

     D.   Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, CMCC shall not
unreasonably withhold its assent to any revision of the objective(s) set forth
in the
<PAGE>

[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED FOR INFORMATION REDACTED FROM THIS
PAGE.]

Development Plan when requested in writing by Licensee and supported by evidence
reasonably acceptable to CMCC: (i) of technical difficulties or delays in the
clinical studies or regulatory process that Licensee could not have reasonably
avoided; or (ii) that Licensee, its Affiliates and/or sublicensees have expended
good faith and diligent efforts and adequate resources to meet said objective.

     E.   In the event CMCC reasonably believes that Licensee is not diligently
seeking to achieve the objectives set forth in the Development Plan in a timely
manner, CMCC shall so notify Licensee in writing. Licensee shall have the
option, exercisable by written notice to CMCC provided within ten (10) days
after receipt of any such notice, to either: (i) receive a *** grace period to
establish to CMCC's reasonable satisfaction that Licensee is expending its good
faith and diligent efforts and adequate resources to achieve said objectives; or
(ii) agree to CMCC's termination of this Agreement as provided hereafter. In the
event Licensee agrees to termination of this Agreement, CMCC shall immediately
terminate the license granted to Licensee under this Agreement. In the event
Licensee fails to establish its diligence to CMCC's reasonable satisfaction as
provided above prior to expiration of the *** grace period, CMCC shall have the
right to terminate the license granted to Licensee under this Agreement.

     F.   In the event that Licensee fails to meet the objective(s) set forth in
the Development Plan in a timely manner, CMCC shall notify Licensee thereof in
writing, and Licensee shall have thirty (30) days following such notification to
establish to the reasonable satisfaction of CMCC that (i) it has met such
objective(s); or (ii) a revision to the Development Plan is necessary and
appropriate as contemplated above. In the event that Licensee fails to establish
the same to CMCC's reasonable satisfaction, CMCC shall have the right in its
discretion to terminate the license granted to Licensee under this Agreement or
to convert the license granted to Licensee hereunder to a non-exclusive license
on financial terms and conditions mutually agreed to by CMCC and Licensee.

     G.   Licensee shall use its best efforts to secure an initial round of
financing of at least $3,000,000 for Licensee through a private placement and/or
public offering of debt or equity securities of Licensee (the "Financing"). The
total pre-money valuation of any such Financing shall be not less than
$5,000,000. If Licensee has not raised at least $2,000,000 of gross proceeds on
the basis described in the preceding sentence within three (3) months of the
Effective Date, then this License Agreement shall terminate and all right, title
and interest in the Patent Rights shall revert to CMCC (and/or YISSUM, as
appropriate) and CMCC shall return any and all shares or warrants beneficially
owned by CMCC and YISSUM.

                   ARTICLE IV.  ROYALTIES AND OTHER PAYMENTS

     A.   For the rights, privileges and exclusive licenses granted hereunder,
Licensee shall pay to CMCC the following amounts in the manner hereinafter
provided until the end of the term of the last to expire Patent Right, unless

               common stock being issued to CMCC pursuant to this Agreement and
               the shares underlying the warrants described in Article IV.A.3,
               below, no less favorably than any of its shares of common stock
               issued and outstanding as of the date of this Agreement.

          3.   Licensee shall grant to CMCC ten (10) year net exercise warrants
               to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock (the "Common Stock"),
               at a price of $0.01 per share, vesting as follows:

                         (a) One-half of the warrants shall vest upon the
               approval of the first IND for a Licensed Product or Licensed
               Process by the United States FDA, or its foreign equivalent.

                         (b) One-half of the warrants shall vest upon the
               approval of an NDA for a Licensed Product or Licensed Process by
               the FDA, or foreign equivalent.

          4.   If so instructed by CMCC, Licensee shall issue to YISSUM, instead
               of to CMCC, some or all of the shares due to CMCC as defined in
               Section A.2 and some or all of the warrants due to CMCC as
               defined in Section A.3.

          5.   In any calendar year, royalties in an amount equal to *** of Net
               Sales of Licensed Products or Licensed Processes used, leased or
               sold by and/or for Licensee and/or its Affiliates.

          6.   In the event that Licensee has granted sublicenses under this
               Agreement, *** of any and all royalties received by Licensee on
               sales from said sublicensees, and *** of any and all payments
               received by Licensee from said sublicensees in consideration of
               permitting the sublicensee to practice the Patent Rights,
               including but not limited to sublicense issue fees, any lump sum
               payments, milestone payments, technology transfer payments, or
               other similar fees, but not including payments for research and
               development, including pre-clinical and clinical trials;
               provided, however, that overhead charges for such research and
               development are
<PAGE>

[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED FOR INFORMATION REDACTED FROM THIS
PAGE.]

               reasonable and customary, and not including payment on account of
               issuance of debt or equity securities of Licensee at fair value.


     B.   No multiple royalties shall be payable because the use, lease or sale
of any Licensed Product or Licensed Process is, or shall be, covered by more
than one valid and unexpired claim contained in the Patent Rights.  In addition,
royalties shall be paid for a Licensed Product or Licensed Process based upon
only one of the paragraphs A.4 or A.5 above ( that is, royalties on direct sales
of a Licensed Product or Licensed Process by Licensee or its Affiliates shall be
based only on paragraph A.4, while royalties on sales of a Licensed Product or
Licensed Process by any sublicensee shall be based only on paragraph A.5 so as
to avoid double counting).

     C.   To the extent that Licensee obtains subsequent to the date of this
Agreement licenses to third party patents or other intellectual property that
are necessary to produce or sell Licensed Products or Licensed Processes,
Licensee may deduct from the royalty due to CMCC *** of the royalties due on
such third party patents or intellectual property up to an amount equal to ***
of royalties hereunder.

     D.   In the event that a Licensed Product is sold in the form of a
combination product containing one or more products or technologies which are
themselves not a Licensed Product, the Net Sales for such a combination product
shall be calculated by multiplying the sales price of such combination product
by the fraction A/ (A+B) where A is the invoice price of the Licensed Product,
or if sold to an Affiliate the Fair Market Value the Licensed Product would
command if sold to a third party, and B is the total invoice price of the other
products or technologies.  In the case of a combination product which includes
one or more Licensed Products, the Net Sales for such combination product upon
which the royalty due to CMCC is based shall not be less than the sum of Net
Sales for each Licensed Product.

     E.   Royalty payments shall be paid in United States dollars in Boston,
Massachusetts, or at such other place as CMCC may reasonably designate
consistent with the laws and regulations controlling in any foreign country.  If
the currency conversion shall be required in connection with the payments of
royalties or other amounts hereunder, the conversion shall be made by using the
exchange rate prevailing at the Bank of Boston on the last business day of the
calendar quarterly reporting period to which such royalty payments relate.

     F.   The royalty payments set forth in this Agreement shall, if overdue,
bear interest until payment at a per annum rate of *** above the prime rate in
effect at the Bank of Boston on the due date. The payment of such interest shall
not foreclose CMCC from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence
of the lateness of any payment.
<PAGE>

                        ARTICLE V.  REPORTS AND RECORDS

     A.   Licensee shall keep, and shall require its Affiliates and sublicensees
to keep, full, true and accurate books of account in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and containing sufficient detail to enable CMCC
to determine the royalty and other amounts payable to CMCC under this Agreement.
Said books of account shall be kept at Licensee's principal place of business or
the principal place of business of the appropriate division of Licensee to which
this Agreement relates.  Said books and the supporting data shall be retained
for at least three (3) years following the end of the calendar year to which
they pertain.

     B.   CMCC shall have the right to audit the books of account described
above from time to time upon reasonable notice to Licensee and in no event more
than quarterly to the extent necessary to verify the reports provided for herein
or compliance in other respects with this Agreement.  CMCC or its agents shall
perform these audits at CMCC's expense during Licensee's regular business hours.

     C.   Licensee shall deliver to CMCC true and accurate reports by March
31st, for the period July 1st through December 31st of the previous year, and on
September 30th, for the period January 1st through June 30th of the current
year, giving such particulars of the business conducted by Licensee, its
Affiliates and its sublicensees under this Agreement as shall be pertinent to a
royalty accounting hereunder and to verify Licensee's activities with respect to
achieving the objectives of the Development Plan described in Article III above.
These reports shall include at least the following:

          1.   Number of Licensed Products and Licensed Processes manufactured
               and sold.

          2.   Aggregate billings for Licensed Products and Licensed Processes
               sold.

          3.   Applicable deductions.

          4.   Total royalties due to CMCC.

          5.   Names and addresses of all sublicensees of Licensee.

          6.   Payments received by Licensee from Affiliates and sublicensees.

          7.   Licensed Products manufactured and sold to the U.S. Government.
               No royalty obligations shall arise from sales or use by, for or
               on behalf of the U.S. Government in view of a royalty-free,
               nonexclusive license that may heretofore have been granted to the
               U.S. Government.

          8.   Royalties and Fees received from sublicensees.
<PAGE>

     D.   Until the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product or Licensed
Process, Licensee shall provide to CMCC at least annually reasonable detail
regarding the activities of Licensee and/ or Licensee's Affiliates and
sublicensees relative to achieving the objectives set forth in the Development
Plan in a timely manner, including but not limited to, reports of financial
expenditures to achieve said objectives, research and development activities,
regulatory approvals, strategic alliances and manufacturing, sublicensing and
marketing efforts.

     E.   With each such report submitted, Licensee shall pay to CMCC the
royalties due and payable under this Agreement.  Prior to first commercial sale,
if no royalties shall be due, Licensee shall not be required to make a report
pursuant to this Article V.

     F.   On or before the ninetieth (90th) day following the close of
Licensee's fiscal year, Licensee shall provide CMCC with Licensee's certified
financial statements for the preceding fiscal year, including at a minimum a
balance sheet and an operating statement or other public report containing
substantially the same information.  CMCC agrees to hold in confidence each
report delivered by Licensee pursuant to this Article V until the termination of
this agreement, except that CMCC may disclose the reports to YISSUM under
agreement of confidentiality.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the CMCC may
disclose any such information required to be disclosed pursuant to any judicial,
administrative or governmental request, subpoena, requirement or order, provided
that the CMCC take reasonable steps to provide Licensee with the opportunity to
contest such request, subpoena, requirement or order.



                        ARTICLE VI.  PATENT PROSECUTION

     A.   CMCC in cooperation with Licensee shall apply for, seek prompt
issuance of, and maintain during the term of this Agreement the Patent Rights
set forth in Appendix 1 through patent counsel mutually agreeable to both
partners.  The parties agree that Hamilton, Brook, Smith & Reynold is a mutually
acceptable patent counsel as of the date hereof, and that, if Licensee so
requests within three (3) months hereof, Pennie and Edmonds would be mutually
acceptable. The prosecution, filing and maintenance of all Patent Rights
applications and patents shall be the primary responsibility of CMCC.  Licensee
shall have reasonable opportunities to advise CMCC and shall cooperate with CMCC
in the prosecution, filing and maintenance of the Patent Rights.

     B.   Licensee shall reimburse to CMCC the amount of all fees and costs
relating to the filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Patent Rights whether
such fees and/or costs were incurred before or after the date of this Agreement.
CMCC shall provide to Licensee an itemized invoice of all such fees and Licensee
shall pay to CMCC all amounts due under said invoice within thirty (30) days of
the date of said invoice.
<PAGE>

     C.   In the event that CMCC elects not to pursue, maintain or retain a
particular Patent Right licensed to Licensee hereunder, CMCC shall so notify
Licensee within thirty (30) days of such decision so that Licensee may assume
the filing, prosecution and/or maintenance of such application or patent at
Licensee's expense.  In such event, CMCC shall provide to Licensee any
authorization necessary to permit Licensee to pursue and/or maintain such Patent
Right.  Licensee shall have no further royalty obligations under this Agreement
with respect to any such Patent Right.


                          ARTICLE VII.  INFRINGEMENT

     A.   In the event that Licensee shall learn of the infringement of any
patent or right licensed under this Agreement, Licensee shall call CMCC's
attention thereto in writing.  Both parties to this Agreement agree to consult
the other prior to notifying an infringing party, in a jurisdiction where
Licensee then has exclusive rights under this Agreement, of the infringement of
any of CMCC Patent Rights or such other intellectual property rights and shall
not notify such infringing party without first obtaining consent of the other
party, which consent shall not be reasonably withheld.  Both parties shall use
their best efforts in cooperation with each other to terminate such infringement
without litigation.  CMCC shall have the first option to undertake the
enforcement of the CMCC Patent Rights, provided, however, that Licensee may join
with CMCC and its counsel in prosecuting such legal action, provided, however,
that if the use of counsel chosen by CMCC would present such counsel with a
conflict of interest that would disqualify such counsel from joint
representation, then Licensee may obtain counsel of its choice at its sole
expense.

     B.   Licensee may request that CMCC take legal action against the
infringement of the Patent Rights licensed under this Agreement.  Such a request
shall be made in writing and shall include reasonable evidence of such
infringement and damages to Licensee.  If CMCC does not commence a diligent
legal challenge within sixty (60) business days after such request (or
immediately in the event Licensee requests that CMCC seek provisional relief and
reasonably demonstrates that such relief is required), and the infringing
activity has not been abated within such time, or if at any time thereafter CMCC
does not persist in such diligent legal challenge until the infringement has
been abated, Licensee may, if the infringement occurred in a jurisdiction where
Licensee had exclusive rights under this Agreement, may commence or assume
control, as the case may be, over the prosecution of legal actions relating
thereto.  However, in the event Licensee elects to bring suit in accordance with
this paragraph B, CMCC may thereafter join with Licensee and its counsel in
prosecuting such legal action, provided, however that if the use of counsel
chosen by CMCC would present such counsel with a conflict of interest that would
disqualify such counsel from joint representation, then CMCC may obtain counsel
of its choice at its sole expense.

     C.   Recoveries or reimbursements from any such litigation or settlement
within the scope of paragraph B in a jurisdiction in which Licensee had
exclusive rights under this Agreement at the time of the infringement shall be
first applied to reimburse Licensee and/ or CMCC for out-of-pocket litigation
costs (with respect to Licensee, to the extent not theretofore credited against
royalties in accordance with paragraph E)
<PAGE>

and then to CMCC for any royalties past due or withheld pursuant to paragraph E.
Any remaining recoveries or reimbursements shall be divided between Licensee and
CMCC at a rate of 20% to CMCC and 80% to Licensee.

     D.   In the event that a claim or suit is asserted or brought against
Licensee alleging that the manufacture or sale of any Licensed Product by
Licensee or its sublicensees, or the use of such Licensed Product by any
customer of any of the foregoing, infringes proprietary rights of a third party,
Licensee shall give written notice thereof to CMCC.  Licensee may, in its sole
discretion, modify such Licensed Product to avoid such infringement and/or may
settle on terms that it deems advisable in its sole discretion, subject to
paragraph F.  Otherwise, Licensee shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to defend any such claim or suit.  In the event Licensee elects not to defend
such suit, CMCC shall have the right, but not the obligation to do so at its own
sole expense.

     E.   Licensee may credit up to fifty (50) percent of any litigation costs
incurred by Licensee in any country pursuant to paragraph C or D and up to 50%
of all amounts paid in judgment or settlement of litigation within the scope of
paragraph D against royalties thereafter payable to CMCC hereunder for such
country and apply the same toward one-half of its actual, reasonable out-of-
pocket litigation costs.  If one-half of such litigation costs in such country
exceed 50 % of royalties payable to CMCC in any year in which such costs are
incurred than the amount of such costs, expenses and amounts paid in judgment or
settlement, in excess of such 50% of the royalties payable shall be carried over
and credited against royalty payments in future years for such country (subject
to the same annual limits). The credit relating to paragraph D shall apply only
to the extent that litigation costs are incurred in defense or settlement of a
claim that the practice of the Patent Rights involved in the manufacture, use or
sale of Licensed Products infringes the patent rights of a third party.

     F.   Licensee shall not settle or compromise any suit in a manner that
imposes any obligations or restrictions on CMCC or grants any rights to the CMCC
Patent Rights without CMCC's written permission, which permission shall not be
unreasonably withheld.  CMCC shall not settle or compromise any such suit in a
manner that imposes any obligations or restrictions on Licensee without
Licensee's written permission, which permission shall not be reasonably
withheld.

     G.   In any action to enforce any of the CMCC Patent Rights, either party,
at the request and expense of the other party, shall cooperate to the fullest
extent reasonably possible.  This provision shall not be construed to require
either party to undertake any activities, including legal discovery, at the
request of any third party except as may be required by lawful process of a
court of competent jurisdiction.

     H.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a third party commences a legal
action in any country in which Licensee has exclusive rights under this
Agreement alleging that the practice of the Patent Rights infringes a third-
party's patent rights, Licensee may withhold, pending final resolution of the
litigation, 50% of the royalties thereafter payable to CMCC from sales made in
that country.  In the event that Licensee recovers
<PAGE>

damages from any such litigation, it shall pay to CMCC the 50% previously
withheld together with interest at an annual rate of 10%.

                         ARTICLE VIII. INDEMNIFICATION
                           AND INSURANCE PROVISIONS

     A.   Licensee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless CMCC and YISSUM,
their corporate affiliates, current or future directors, trustees, officers,
faculty, medical and professional staff, employees, students and agents and
their respective successors,  heirs and assigns (the "Indemnitees"), against any
liability, damage, loss or expense (including reasonable attorney's fees and
expenses of litigation) incurred by or imposed upon the Indemnitees or any one
of them in connection with any claims, suits, actions, demands or judgments
arising out of any theory of product liability (including, but not limited to,
actions in the form of tort, warranty, or strict liability) concerning any
product, process or service made, used or sold by Licensee pursuant to any right
or license granted under this Agreement.

     B.   Licensee's indemnification under Article VIII, Paragraph A above shall
not apply to any liability, damage, loss or expense to the extent that it is
directly attributable to the negligent activities, reckless misconduct or
intentional misconduct of the Indemnitees.

     C.   Licensee agrees, at its own expense, to provide attorneys reasonably
acceptable to CMCC to defend against any actions brought or filed against any
party indemnified hereunder with respect to the subject of indemnity contained
herein, whether or not such actions are rightfully brought.

     D.   Beginning at the time as any such product, process or service is being
commercially distributed or sold (other than for the purpose of obtaining
regulatory approvals) by Licensee or by a sublicensee, Affiliate or agent of
Licensee, Licensee shall, at its sole cost and expense, procure and maintain
commercial general liability insurance in amounts not less than $2,000,000 per
incident and $2,000,000 annual aggregate and naming the Indemnitees as
additional insureds.  Such commercial general liability insurance shall provide
(i) product liability coverage and (ii) contractual liability coverage for
Licensee's  indemnification under Article VIII, Paragraphs A through C of this
Agreement.  If Licensee elects to self-insure all or part of the limits
described above (including deductibles or retentions which are in excess of
$250,000 annual aggregate), such self-insurance program must be acceptable to
CMCC and the Risk Management Foundation of the Harvard Medical Institutions,
Inc.  The minimum amount of insurance coverage required under this Article VIII,
Paragraph E. shall not be construed to create a limit of Licensee's liability
with respect to its indemnification under Article VIII, Paragraphs A through C
of this Agreement.

     E.   Licensee shall provide CMCC with written evidence of such insurance
upon request of CMCC.  Licensee shall provide CMCC with written notice at least
fifteen (15) days prior to the cancellation, non-renewal or material change in
such insurance. If Licensee does not obtain replacement insurance providing
comparable coverage within such fifteen (15) day period, CMCC shall have the
right to terminate
<PAGE>

this Agreement effective at the end of such fifteen (15) day period without
notice of any additional waiting periods.

     F.   Licensee shall maintain such commercial general liability insurance
during (i) the period that any such product, process or service is being
commercially distributed or sold (other than for the purpose of obtaining
regulatory approvals) by Licensee or by a sublicensee, Affiliate or agent of
Licensee and (ii) a reasonable period after the period referred to above, which
in no event shall be less than five (5) years.

     G.   Licensee shall continue to indemnify CMCC for any product liability

claims arising out of the use of Licensed Product(s) or Process(es) during the
period in which Licensee is developing, making, commercializing and selling any
Licensed Product(s) or Process(es) and for a period of five (5) years after the
date on which the Company ceases to do so (the "Cessation Date"), solely for
claims arising out of such activities prior to the Cessation Date.

     H.   Article VIII, Paragraphs F. and G. shall survive expiration or
termination of this Agreement.

     I.   OTHER THAN WARRANTIES SET FORTH HEREIN, CMCC MAKES NO WARRANTY,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH
RESPECT TO ANY PATENT, TRADEMARK, SOFTWARE, TRADE SECRET, TANGIBLE RESEARCH
PROPERTY, INFORMATION OR DATA LICENSED OR OTHERWISE PROVIDED TO LICENSEE
HEREUNDER AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS THE SAME.


                         ARTICLE IX.  EXPORT CONTROLS

     It is understood that CMCC is subject to United States laws and regulations
controlling the export of technical data, computer software, laboratory
prototypes and other commodities (including the Arms Export Control Act, as
amended and the Export Administration Act of 1979), and that its obligations
hereunder are contingent on compliance with applicable United States export laws
and regulations.  The transfer of certain technical data and commodities may
require a license from the cognizant agency of the United States Government
and/or written assurances by Licensee that Licensee shall not export data or
commodities to certain foreign countries without prior approval of such agency.
CMCC neither represents that a license shall not be required, nor that if
required, it shall be issued.


                         ARTICLE X.  NON-USE OF NAMES

     Licensee shall not use the name of Children's Medical Center Corporation,
nor YISSUM, nor the name of any of their corporate affiliates or employees, nor
any adaptation thereof, in any advertising, promotional or sales literature
without prior
<PAGE>

written consent obtained from CMCC in each case which consent shall not be
reasonably withheld, except that Licensee may state that it is licensed by CMCC
under one or more of the patents and/or applications comprising the Patent
Rights, and Licensee may comply with disclosure requirements of all applicable
laws relating to its business, including United States and state securities
laws.


                            ARTICLE XI.  ASSIGNMENT

     A.   Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement is not assignable
in whole or in part, and any attempt to do so shall be void and of no effect.

     B.   CMCC may assign this Agreement at any time to any corporate affiliate
of CMCC without the prior consent of Licensee.

     C.   Except as provided in Article XI, Paragraph D below, Licensee may
assign this Agreement to another entity only with the prior written consent of
CMCC, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

     D.   Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event Licensee
merges with another entity, is acquired by another entity, or sells all or
substantially all of its assets to another entity, Licensee may assign its
rights and obligations hereunder to, in the event of a merger or acquisition,
the surviving entity, and in the event of a sale, the acquiring entity, without
CMCC's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, so long as:
(i) Licensee is not then in breach of this Agreement; (ii) the proposed assignee
has a net worth at least equivalent to the net worth Licensee had as of the date
of this Agreement; (iii) the proposed assignee has available resources and
sufficient scientific, business and other expertise comparable to Licensee in
order to satisfy its obligations hereunder; (iv) Licensee provides written
notice of the assignment to CMCC, together with documentation sufficient to
demonstrate the requirements set forth in subparagraphs (i) through (iii) above,
at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the assignment; and (v)
CMCC receives from the assignee, in writing, at least thirty (30) days prior to
the effective date of the assignment: (a) an agreement to be bound by the terms
of this Agreement; and (b) an agreement to perform the obligations of Licensee
under this Agreement.


               ARTICLE XII.  DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION

     A.   Except for the right of either party to apply to a court of competent
jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order, a preliminary injunction, or
other equitable relief to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable harm,
any and all claims, disputes or controversies arising under, out of, or in
connection with the Agreement, including any dispute relating to patent validity
or infringement, which the parties shall be unable to resolve within sixty (60)
days shall be mediated in good faith.  The party raising such dispute shall
promptly advise the other of such claim, dispute or controversy in writing,
describing the dispute in reasonable detail.  By no later than five (5) business
days after the recipient has received such notice of dispute, each party
<PAGE>

shall have selected a representative who shall have the authority to bind such
party and shall have advised the other party in writing of the name and title of
such representative.

     B.   In the event that a dispute arises between the parties hereto, then
the parties agree to use their best efforts to resolve the dispute amicably.  In
the event that the parties have not resolved the dispute within sixty (60) days,
then the parties agree to submit to binding arbitration in accordance with this
Article XII.

     C.   Any and all claims, disputes or controversies arising under, out of,
or in connection with this Agreement, which have not been resolved by good faith
negotiations between the parties or by mediation shall be resolved by final and
binding arbitration in Boston, Massachusetts, in accordance with the rules of
the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") then obtaining and all expenses, in
connection therewith, will be shared equally, except for the expense of the
parties' respective legal counsels.  A single arbitrator shall be mutually
agreed upon and if the parties are unable to agree on a mutually acceptable
arbitrator, an arbitrator shall be chosen in accordance with AAA rules. Any
award rendered in such arbitration shall be final and may be enforced by either
party.

     D.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Article shall be
construed to waive any rights or timely performance of any obligations existing
under this Agreement.


                      ARTICLE XIII.  TERM AND TERMINATION

     A.   The term of this Agreement shall be not less than fifteen (15) years
or the life of the last expiring Patent Right, whichever period is the longer
term.

     B.   CMCC may terminate this Agreement immediately upon the bankruptcy,
insolvency, liquidation, dissolution or cessation of operations of Licensee; or
the filing of any voluntary petition for bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of the affairs of Licensee; or any assignment by Licensee for the
benefit of creditors; or the filing of any involuntary petition for bankruptcy,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the affairs of Licensee which is not
dismissed within ninety (90) days of the date on which it is filed or commenced.

     C.   CMCC may terminate this Agreement upon forty-five(45) days prior
written notice in the event of Licensee's failure to pay to CMCC royalties due
and payable hereunder in a timely manner, unless Licensee shall make all such
payments to CMCC within said forty-five (45) day period.  Upon the expiration of
the thirty (30) day period, if Licensee shall not have made all such payments to
CMCC, the rights, privileges and licenses granted hereunder shall terminate.

     D.   Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph C above, CMCC may terminate
this Agreement upon sixty (60) days prior written notice in the event of
Licensee's breach or default of any material term or condition or warranty
contained in
<PAGE>

this Agreement, unless Licensee shall cure such breach to CMCC's reasonable
satisfaction within said sixty (60) day period. Upon the expiration of the sixty
(60) day period, if Licensee shall not have cured said breach to the reasonable
satisfaction of CMCC, the rights, privileges and license granted hereunder shall
terminate.

     E.   Licensee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time
upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to CMCC, and upon payment by Licensee
of all amounts due CMCC through the effective date of termination.

     F.   Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, nothing herein
shall be construed to release either party from any obligation that matured
prior to the effective date of such termination.  Licensee and any sublicensee
thereof may, however, after the effective date of such termination, sell all
Licensed Products and complete Licensed Products in the process of manufacture
at the time of such termination and sell the same, provided that Licensee shall
pay to CMCC the royalties thereon as required under this Agreement and shall
submit the reports required under this Agreement on the sales of Licensed
Products.

     G.   Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, all rights and

     G.   The failure of either party to assert a right to which it is entitled
