                              particular "bundle"

where A equals the total discounted price of a particular "bundle" of products,
and B equals the sum of the undiscounted bona fide list prices of each unit of
every product in such "bundle." ORTHO shall provide KOSAN documentation,
reasonably acceptable to KOSAN, establishing such average discount with respect
to each "bundle." If ORTHO cannot so establish the average discount of a
"bundle", NET SALES shall be based on the undiscounted list price of the PRODUCT
in the "bundle." If a PRODUCT in a "bundle" is not sold separately and no bona
fide list price exists for such PRODUCT, the parties shall negotiate in good
faith an imputed list price for such PRODUCT, and NET SALES with respect thereto
shall be based on such imputed list price.

In the event that PRODUCTS are sold in the form of combination products
containing one or more active ingredients other than the PRODUCT, NET SALES for
such combination products will be calculated by multiplying actual NET SALES of
such combination products by the fraction A/(A+B) where A is the invoice price
of the PRODUCT if sold separately, and B is the total invoice price of any other
active component or components in the combination, if sold separately by
LICENSEE or an AFFILIATE OR SUBLICENSEE.

If on a country-by-country basis the other active component or components in the
combination are not sold separately in said country by the LICENSEE or an
AFFILIATE or SUBLICENSEE, NET SALES, for the purpose of determining royalties on
the combination products shall be calculated by multiplying actual NET SALES of
such combination products by the fraction A/C where A is the invoice price of
the PRODUCT if sold separately and C is the invoice price of the combination
product.

If on a country-by-country basis neither the PRODUCT nor the combination product
is sold separately in said country by the LICENSEE or an AFFILIATE or
SUBLICENSEE, NET SALES for purposes of determining royalties on the combination
products shall be reasonably allocated between the LICENSED PRODUCT and the
other active components based on their relative value as determined by the
parties in good faith.

         1.39 "NON-EXCLUSIVE SCREENING PERIOD" shall mean the period commencing
on the EFFECTIVE DATE and continuing until three (3) years after the end of the
EXCLUSIVE SCREENING PERIOD.

                  2.6.5 CONSEQUENCE OF A NO-GO DECISION. In the event that a
NO-GO DECISION is made with respect to a particular PROJECT at a DECISION
POINT for that PROJECT, that PROJECT shall terminate and cease to be part of
the RESEARCH PROGRAM. In the event of termination of both research PROJECTS,
LICENSEE's rights and license to the MACROLIDES made in such PROJECTS, and
the corresponding intellectual property rights shall terminate concurrently,
subject to RWJPRI's non-exclusive right pursuant to Section 3.2.1 to continue
screening the MACROLIDES [**] MOTILIDE [**] ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITIES
other than ANTIBIOTIC ACTIVITY. In any such event, at KOSAN's request, RWJPRI
shall grant to KOSAN an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to
RWJPRI's interest in any RWJPRI KNOW-HOW and RWJPRI PATENT RIGHTS to make,
use and sell the MACROLIDES [**] CLOSE STRUCTURAL ANALOGS thereof conceived
or reduced to practice in connection with such PROJECTS. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, RWJPRI shall retain ownership of the RWJPRI PATENT RIGHTS and
RWJPRI KNOW-HOW, and the right to practice the RWJPRI KNOW-HOW and RWJPRI
PATENT RIGHTS to conduct internal research, and, subject to its obligations
under this AGREEMENT, to make, use and sell compounds (other than the
MACROLIDES [**] CLOSE STRUCTURAL ANALOGS that were conceived or reduced to
practice in connection with the terminated PROJECTS, or their DERIVATIVES).

                  2.6.6 PROJECT MANAGEMENT. Each PROJECT shall be managed by the
parties independently of the other PROJECT. DECISIONS impacting the continuation
of any individual PROJECT (e.g., Go/No-GO DECISIONS with respect any given
PROJECT) will not affect the continuation of the other PROJECT. So long as any
one of the PROJECTS is on-going, the RESEARCH PROGRAM shall be deemed to be in
effect.

         2.7      RESEARCH PROGRAM FUNDING.

                  2.7.1 FTE FUNDING. For the conduct of the RESEARCH PROGRAM
by KOSAN, RWJPRI shall pay KOSAN RESEARCH FUNDING on an annualized FTE basis
(FTE-years). FTE positions will be paid at an annual rate of $[**] per FTE

                           (b) AROMATIC POLYKETIDES. During the NON-EXCLUSIVE
SCREENING PERIOD, RWJPRI may notify KOSAN that RWJPRI wishes to designate one
or more AROMATIC POLYKETIDES as LICENSED COMPOUNDS by notice to KOSAN
("DESIGNATION NOTICE") identifying the AROMATIC POLYKETIDES and the activity
thereof.

                  3.5.2 LICENSED COMPOUND STATUS. Within thirty (30) days
following receipt of any DESIGNATION NOTICE from LICENSEE pursuant to Section
3.5.1 above, KOSAN shall notify LICENSEE if KOSAN has granted a THIRD PARTY
any rights or a license with respect to the same MACROLIDE or AROMATIC
POLYKETIDE [**] CLOSE STRUCTURAL ANALOG thereof, before KOSAN's receipt of
such DESIGNATION NOTICE; provided, KOSAN shall have no obligation to disclose
to LICENSEE the identity of the THIRD PARTY, the structure of such compound
or the activity(s) with respect to which such THIRD PARTY identified such
activity. Unless KOSAN has previously granted a THIRD PARTY rights to such a
MACROLIDE or AROMATIC POLYKETIDE [**] CLOSE STRUCTURAL ANALOG thereof, or
elected to develop such MACROLIDE or AROMATIC POLYKETIDE [**] CLOSE
STRUCTURAL ANALOG thereof itself, in each case, as shown by prior written
records, upon KOSAN's receipt of DESIGNATION NOTICE from RWJPRI, such
MACROLIDE or AROMATIC POLYKETIDE shall be deemed to be a LICENSED COMPOUND
for all purposes of this AGREEMENT.

                  3.5.3 NCE STATUS. It is understood and agreed that each
MACROLIDE designated by LICENSEE in a DESIGNATION NOTICE which becomes a
LICENSED COMPOUND shall be deemed to be an NCE for the purposes of
Section 6.2.1 hereunder. It is further understood and agreed that a MACROLIDE
which meets the criteria for an NCE shall be deemed to be an NCE for the
purposes of Section 6.2.1 hereunder without any further affirmative action on
the part of KOSAN or LICENSEE.

                  3.5.4 NOTICE TO THIRD PARTIES. Once a MACROLIDE or AROMATIC
POLYKETIDE has become a LICENSED COMPOUND pursuant to Section 3.5.2 above,
KOSAN shall notify any THIRD PARTIES who attempt to subsequently designate or
claim rights to such LICENSED COMPOUND of the existence of LICENSEE's prior
claim with respect to such compound without disclosing LICENSEE's identity,
the structure of such compound (unless earlier disclosed) or the activity(s)
with respect to which LICENSEE has identified such activity. LICENSEE hereby
consents to such notice. KOSAN shall promptly inform LICENSEE of such THIRD
PARTY'S designation or claim; provided KOSAN shall have no obligation to
disclose to LICENSEE the identity of such THIRD PARTY or the activity(s) with
respect to which such THIRD PARTY identified such activity. If the THIRD
PARTY desires to negotiate with LICENSEE, KOSAN shall transmit notice of such
intent (including the THIRD PARTY'S identity) to LICENSEE. In addition, once
a MACROLIDE or AROMATIC POLYKETIDE has become a LICENSED COMPOUND pursuant to
Section 3.5.2 above, if

reasonably feasible, KOSAN shall not provide such LICENSED COMPOUND to THIRD
PARTIES for screening.

                  3.5.5 CLOSE STRUCTURAL ANALOGS. At the time that each
MACROLIDE and/or AROMATIC POLYKETIDE becomes a LICENSED COMPOUND, a
non-binding, written list identifying the compounds which are CLOSE
STRUCTURAL ANALOGS of such MACROLIDE and/or AROMATIC POLYKETIDE will be
prepared by the parties. Any compounds determined to be CLOSE STRUCTURAL
ANALOGS shall remain CLOSE STRUCTURAL ANALOGS until and unless such compounds
have been actually synthesized and tested and found not to have the level of
activity specified in the RESEARCH PLAN or agreed by the parties at the time
the compound became a LICENSED COMPOUND. In the event that either party,
determines that such compound does not have the required level of activity it
shall notify, the other providing the relevant data and unless the other
party, disputes the validity of such data, the applicable compound shall
cease to be a CLOSE STRUCTURAL ANALOG thirty (30) days thereafter. In the
event of any dispute regarding the status of whether a particular compound
should become, is or will remain a CLOSE STRUCTURAL ANALOG, the matter shall
be settled by the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Article 21.

MACROLIDE(S) which have ANTIBIOTIC ACTIVITY, which notice shall identify,
such MACROLIDES.

                           (b) LIMITATIONS. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
RWJPRI may not designate more than [**] RESERVED COMPOUNDS at any time
without the written consent of KOSAN. RWJPRI may, with notice to KOSAN
discontinue the RESERVED COMPOUND status of any MACROLIDE, and thereafter
such MACROLIDE shall no longer be a RESERVED COMPOUND. If RWJPRI has
designated RESERVED COMPOUNDS such that there exist more than [**] RESERVED
COMPOUNDS at any time, then RWJPRI shall pay to KOSAN, for each RESERVED
COMPOUND beyond [**], a fee of [**] dollars ($[**]) per RESERVED COMPOUND, as
set forth in Section 6.6.

                           (c) EFFECT OF RESERVATION. Until the end of the
RESEARCH TERM, KOSAN shall not grant a license to any THIRD PARTY with
respect to any RESERVED COMPOUND except as follows: if KOSAN receives a
request from a THIRD PARTY to obtain a LICENSE for any RESERVED COMPOUND, it
shall notify RWJPRI and RWJPRI shall have [**] days to notify. KOSAN whether
RWJPRI will designate such RESERVED COMPOUND as a LICENSED COMPOUND and pay
concurrently the fee required under Section 6.3. In such event, such RESERVED

         3.8 RIGHT OF FIRST NEGOTIATION. Until January 10, 1999, if a THIRD
PARTY wishes to enter into an exclusive agreement with KOSAN to screen the
MACROLIDE(S) for MOTILIDE ACTIVITY or develop or commercialize MACROLIDE(S)
for MOTILIDE ACTIVITY, before entering into an agreement with such a THIRD
PARTY granting a license for such rights, KOSAN shall notify RWJPRI, and for
a period of [**] (or such longer period as the parties may agree) from the
date of such notice (the "Negotiation Period") KOSAN and RWJPRI shall
negotiate the terms of such an agreement. In the event that the parties do
not agree on terms within the Negotiation Period, KOSAN may grant any THIRD
PARTY rights with respect to screening MACROLIDE(S) for MOTILIDE ACTIVITY and
developing and commercializing MACROLIDE(S) for MOTILIDE ACTIVITY; provided,
however, prior to January 10, 1999 or the end of the Negotiation Period,
KOSAN shall not enter into an agreement with a THIRD PARTY on terms less
favorable to KOSAN, when taken as a whole, than those last offered in writing
by RWJPRI to KOSAN. It is understood and agreed that KOSAN shall have the
unrestricted rights itself to screen, develop and/or commercialize
MACROLIDE(S) for MOTILIDE ACTIVITY.

                  4.12.1 KOSAN THIRD PARRY ACTIVITIES. It is understood that
KOSAN provides libraries of polyketide compounds to THIRD PARTIES, and that
KOSAN will grant such THIRD PARTIES rights after the EFFECTIVE DATE to
acquire licenses for compounds derived from such libraries similar to
LICENSEE's rights under this Article 4, subject to the provisions of Section
3. I. Notwithstanding the licenses granted to LICENSEE under Section 4.3
above, it is possible that a THIRD PARTY may acquire rights from KOSAN with
respect to one or more compounds of which KOSAN is a sole or joint owner,
which compounds were made and designed independently of KOSAN's activities
and knowledge gained under the RESEARCH PROGRAM; accordingly, KOSAN's grant
of rights under Section 4.3 is limited to the extent that (i) a THIRD PARTY
(either alone or jointly with KOSAN) has filed a patent application with
respect to such a compound prior to the filing by LICENSEE (either alone or
jointly with KOSAN) of a patent application with respect to such a compound,
or (ii) KOSAN has previously granted a THIRD PARTY a license or other rights
with respect to such a compound, and subject to any such grant of rights to a
THIRD PARTY.

                  4.12.2 NO LIABILITY. It is understood and agreed that, even if
KOSAN complies with its obligations under this AGREEMENT, compounds provided to
THIRD PARTIES in the course of KOSAN's other business activities may result in
THIRD PARTY patent applications and patents, including patent applications and
patents owned by such THIRD PARTIES, or owned jointly by KOSAN and such THIRD
PARTIES, which could conflict with patent applications and patents owned by
LICENSEE, or jointly owned by LICENSEE and KOSAN hereunder. KOSAN shall use its
reasonable efforts to avoid such conflict. It is understood that, unless
LICENSEE is damaged as a proximate result of a material breach by KOSAN of
Section 3.1 or 4.3 then KOSAN shall have no liability, under this AGREEMENT with
respect to any such conflict.

         4.13 RETAINED RIGHTS. It is understood and agreed that, KOSAN shall
retain the exclusive right to develop (including pre-clinical and clinical
development), make, have made, use and sell all products other than PRODUCTS. It
is understood and agreed that KOSAN may practice and use the KOSAN PATENT RIGHTS
and KOSAN KNOW-HOW to facilitate the exercise of its rights.

         4.14 NO IMPLIED RIGHTS. No other, further or different license or
right, except as expressly provided in this Article 4 hereof, is hereby granted
or implied.

discrepancy is identified. Said accountant shall disclose to KOSAN only
information relating to the accuracy of the royalty reports and the royalties
paid under this AGREEMENT. Names of customers and other confidential information
shall not be disclosed to KOSAN by such independent accountant. Such accountant

AGREEMENT shall bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of [**], or the
maximum rate permitted by law, calculated on the number of days such payment
is delinquent, compounded monthly. This Section 7.7 shall in no way limit any
other remedies available to KOSAN.

         7.8 CURRENCY CONVERSION. All royalty, payments by ORTHO to KOSAN

conditions and who have a need to know the information for the purposes
specified under this AGREEMENT; however, the recipient may disclose Confidential
Information to the extent such disclosure is required in compliance with
applicable laws or regulations in connection with the manufacture or sale of
products covered by this AGREEMENT, or is otherwise required to be disclosed in
compliance with applicable laws or regulations or order by a court or other

protection with respect to any Joint Invention outside the Core Countries, it
shall notify the other party hereto. If both parties wish to seek patent
protection with respect to such Joint Invention in such country or countries,
activities shall be subject to Section 12.4.1 above. If only one party wishes to
seek patent protection with respect to such Joint Invention in such country or
countries, it may file, prosecute and maintain patent applications and patents
with respect thereto, at its own expense. Whenever possible, the parties shall
cooperate to obtain the benefit of international treaties, conventions and/or
agreements (e.g., the Patent Cooperation Treaty.) in order to obtain the
benefits afforded thereby. In any such case, the party declining to participate
in such activities shall not grant any THIRD PARTY a license under its interest
in the applicable joint invention in the applicable country or countries

or which is attributable to a period prior to such termination, nor preclude
either party from pursuing any rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at
law or in equity which accrued or are based upon any event occurring prior to

                  (c) The parties agree to cooperate (l) to obtain selection
of the arbitrators within thirty (30) days of initiation of the arbitration,
(2) to meet with the arbitrators within thirty (30) days of selection and (3)
to agree at that meeting or before upon procedures for discovery and as to
the conduct of the hearing which will result in the hearing being concluded

the conclusion of the evidence at the hearing, or of any post-hearing
briefing (which briefing will be completed by both sides in no more than
twenty (20) days after the conclusion of the hearings), and provide for
discovery according to these time limits, giving recognition to the
understanding of the parties hereto that they contemplate reasonable
discovery, including document demands and depositions, but that such
discovery be limited so that the time limits specified herein may be met
without undue difficulty. In no event will the arbitrators allow either side
to obtain more than a total of forty (40) hours of deposition testimony from
all witnesses, including both fact and expert witnesses. In the event
multiple hearing days are required, they will be scheduled consecutively to
the greatest extent possible.

                  (d) The arbitrators shall render their award following the
substantive law of California, without reference to principles of conflicts
of law. The arbitrators shall render an opinion setting forth findings of
fact and conclusions of law with the reasons therefor stated. A transcript of
the evidence adduced at the hearing shall be made and shall, upon request, be
made available to either party.

                  (e) To the extent possible, the arbitration hearings and
award will be maintained in confidence.

                  (f) Any United States District Court having jurisdiction of
the matter may enter judgment upon any award. In the event the panel's award
exceeds Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in monetary, damages or includes or
consists of equitable relief, then the court shall vacate, modify or correct
any award where the arbitrators' findings of fact are clearly erroneous,
and/or where the arbitrators' conclusions of law are erroneous; in other
words, it will undertake the same review as if it were a federal appellate
court reviewing a district court's findings of fact and conclusions of law
rendered after a bench trial. An award for less than Five Million Dollars
($5,000,000) in damages and not including equitable relief may be vacated,
modified or corrected only upon the grounds specified in the Federal
Arbitration Act. The parties consent to the jurisdiction of the District
Court for the enforcement of these provisions, the entry of judgment on any
award, and the vacatur, modification and correction of any award as above
specified.

                  (g) Each party has the right before or during the arbitration
to seek and obtain from the appropriate court provisional remedies such as
attachment, preliminary injunction, replevin, etc. to avoid irreparable harm,
maintain the status quo, or preserve the subject matter of the arbitration.

                  (h) EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL OF ANY ISSUE
BY JURY.

                  (i) SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 17, EACH PARTY HERETO
WAIVES ANY CLAIM TO PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES FROM THE
OTHER.

ARTICLE 22 -- MISCELLANEOUS

         22.1 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. Before signing this AGREEMENT the parties have
had numerous conversations, including preliminary discussions, formal
negotiations and informal conversations at meals and social occasions, and have
generated correspondence and other writings, in which the parties discussed the
transaction which is the subject of this AGREEMENT and their aspirations for its
success. In such conversations and writings, individuals representing the
parties may have expressed their judgments and beliefs concerning the
intentions, capabilities, and practices of the parties, and may have forecasted
future events. The parties recognize that such conversations and writings often
involve an effort by both sides to be positive and optimistic about the
prospects for the transaction. It is also recognized, however, that all business
transactions contain an element of risk, as does the transaction contemplated by
this AGREEMENT and that it is normal business practice to limit the legal
obligations of contracting parties to only those promises and representations
which are essential to their transaction so as to provide certainty as to their
respective future rights and remedies. Accordingly, it is agreed that this
AGREEMENT constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties
as to the legal undertakings hereunder. All prior negotiations, representations,
agreements, contracts, offers and earlier understandings of whatsoever kind,
whether written or oral between KOSAN and LICENSEE in respect of this AGREEMENT,
are superseded by, merged into, extinguished by and completely expressed by this
AGREEMENT. No aspect, part or wording of this AGREEMENT may be modified except
by mutual agreement between the KOSAN and LICENSEE taking the form of an
instrument in writing signed and dated by duly authorized representatives of
both KOSAN and LICENSEE.

         22.2 NOTICES. All communications, reports, payments and notices
required by this AGREEMENT by one party to the other shall be addressed to the
parties at their respective addresses set forth below or to such other address
as requested by either party by notice in writing to the other.

         22.3 GOVERNING LAW. All matters affecting the interpretation, validity,
and performance of this AGREEMENT, including any arbitration proceeding
conducted pursuant to Article 21, shall be governed by the internal laws of the
State of California without regard to its conflict of law principles, except as
to any issue which by California law depends upon the validity, scope or
enforceability of any patent within the PATENT RIGHTS, which issue shall be
determined in accordance with the applicable patent laws of the country of such
patent.

         22.4 SEVERABILITY. Should any part or provision of this AGREEMENT be
held unenforceable or in conflict with the law of any jurisdiction, the validity
of the remaining part or provisions shall not be affected by such holdings;
provided that the parties shall use their best efforts to negotiate an
enforceable provision that most nearly reflects the parties original intentions.

         22.5 WAIVER. The waiver by either party, whether express or implied, of
any provisions of this AGREEMENT, or of any breach or default of either party,
shall not be construed to be a continuing waiver of such provision, or of any
succeeding breach or default or of a waiver of any other provisions of this
AGREEMENT.

         22.6 NO REPRESENTATIONS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in
this AGREEMENT, nothing herein contained shall be construed as a representation
by KOSAN that the PATENT RIGHTS can be or will be used to prevent the
importation by a THIRD PARTY hereto of a product into or the SALE or USE by a
THIRD PARTY hereto of a product in any country within the PATENT RIGHTS where
such product shall have been placed in commerce under circumstances which
preclude the use of the PATENT RIGHTS to prevent such importation or SALE or USE
by reason of any applicable law or treaty.

         22.7 FORCE MAJEURE. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
AGREEMENT, neither of the parties hereto shall be liable in damages or have
the right to terminate this AGREEMENT for any delay or default in performing
hereunder if such delay or default is caused by conditions beyond its control
including, but not limited to acts of God, governmental restrictions, wars,
or insurrections, strikes, floods, earthquakes, work stoppages and/or lack of
materials, and any time for performance hereunder shall be extended for the
actual time of delay caused by such occurrence; provided, however, that the
party suffering such delay or default shall notify the other party in writing
of the reasons for the delay or default and shall diligently seek to correct
such conditions, if such reasons for delay or default continuously exist for
twelve (12) months, this AGREEMENT may be terminated by either party.
