additional Subsequent Antigen as a Collaboration Target (in addition to the
Initial Antigens and any replacements thereto pursuant to subsection (d) below)
for each such year. For each Initial Antigen or Subsequent Antigen proposed by
Northwest pursuant to this Agreement, Medarex may decline such target in its
sole discretion if Medarex (i) is researching or developing, or has researched
and developed, in collaboration with a Third Party, antibodies to such Initial
Antigen or Subsequent Antigen (either alone or as part of a joint development
program with a Third Party) or (ii) has previously granted to a Third Party
exclusive rights with respect to such Initial Antigen or Subsequent Antigen or
with respect to antibodies to such Initial Antigen or Subsequent Antigen.

                        (a) ANTIGEN EVALUATION MATERIALS. With respect to each
Initial Antigen and each Subsequent Antigen, Northwest shall promptly develop
and furnish to Medarex the following data and information ("ANTIGEN EVALUATION

possession with respect to [  ***  ].

                        (b) ADDITIONAL VALIDATION ACTIVITIES. In the event
Medarex receives Antigen Evaluation Materials for a given Initial Antigen or
Subsequent Antigen pursuant to Section 1.2.2(a), but does not believe such
materials are sufficiently complete, the Parties shall discuss in good faith
additional analyses to be performed by Northwest in order to complete the
Antigen Evaluation Materials and Northwest shall use Commercially Reasonable
Efforts to perform such additional analyses to the reasonable satisfaction of
Medarex.

                        (c) EVALUATION OF COLLABORATION TARGETS.

                                (i) Upon receipt of the Antigen Evaluation
Materials pursuant to subsection (a) above and any additional materials pursuant
to subsection (b) above, Medarex shall evaluate the scientific merits of the
respective Initial Antigen or Subsequent Antigen. If such evaluation reveals in
the reasonable opinion of Medarex that such Initial Antigen or Subsequent
Antigen is not sufficiently characterized or validated so as to permit a
successful development of Collaboration Products under this Agreement, the
Parties shall meet to discuss Medarex's concerns. If such concerns remain
unresolved after such meeting, such Initial Antigen or Subsequent Antigen shall
not become a Collaboration Target, excluded from the Collaboration and returned
to Northwest, and Medarex shall have no further rights to such Initial Antigen
or Subsequent Antigen under this Agreement.

                                (ii) Upon request of either Party, the Steering
Committee shall solicit a formal patent review and opinion regarding each
Collaboration Target prior to the commencement of any development activities
with respect to such target. Such review shall be performed by an outside law
firm selected by the Steering Committee. The costs of such formal opinion shall
be shared 50% by Northwest and 50% by Medarex. If such review reveals that it is
more likely than not that Collaboration Products developed against such
Collaboration Target will be subject to claims of infringement of Patents owned
by Third Parties, the Parties shall meet to discuss how to further proceed. If
the Parties agree not to proceed with the identification and development of
Collaboration Antibodies against such target, or if the Parties are unable to
agree on whether or not to proceed, such Collaboration Target shall be excluded
from the Collaboration and returned to Northwest, and Medarex shall have no
further rights to such Antigen under this Agreement.

                        (d) REPLACEMENT OF INITIAL ANTIGENS. For each Initial
Antigen and Subsequent Antigen that is excluded from the Collaboration and
returned to Northwest as provided in subsection (c)(i) above and for each
Collaboration Target that is excluded from the Collaboration pursuant to Section
(c)(ii) above, Northwest shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to propose to
Medarex within ninety (90) days from the date thereof ("Replacement Period")
another Initial Antigen or Subsequent Antigen for inclusion in this Agreement as
a

<PAGE>

Collaboration Target, and the Parties shall proceed with the evaluation of such
Initial Antigen or Subsequent Antigen as provided in Section 1.2.2 above.
Northwest's obligation to provide new Antigens for evaluation by Medarex shall
expire upon the expiration of the Target Entry Period and the Replacement Period
with respect to the last Initial Antigen or Subsequent Antigen that has been
returned to Northwest as provided above.

                        (e) ADDITIONAL COLLABORATION TARGETS. Northwest shall
have the right to offer additional Antigens to the Collaboration as
Collaboration Targets, by providing Medarex with any and all Antigen Evaluation
Materials with respect to such Antigen and such other information and data as
Medarex may request. In the event that the Parties agree to accept any such
additional Antigen into the Collaboration, the Parties shall use good faith
efforts to agree on a written description of such Antigen, and Appendix C-2
shall be automatically amended to include such Antigen and such description.

                        (f) Upon completion of the evaluation pursuant to this
Section 1.2.2 and acceptance of a Collaboration Target by Medarex, the Parties
shall proceed with the Collaboration with respect to such target as provided in
Section 1.2.3 et seq. below.

                1.2.3 IDENTIFICATION OF APPLICABLE ASSAYS AND SUCCESS CRITERIA.
As part of the Project Plan for a given Collaboration Target, the Steering
Committee will:

                        (a) identify the immunogen(s) (each, an "IMMUNOGEN") to
be used to enable Medarex to perform its activities pursuant to Section 1.2.5;

                        (b) determine which Party will be responsible for
delivering the Immunogen(s) to Medarex.

                        (c) identify a set of assays (each, an "ASSAY") for
screening Assay Candidates against such Collaboration Target;

                        (d) determine which Party will be responsible for
delivering the Assays to the Collaboration; and

                        (e) establish criteria (the "ASSAY SUCCESS CRITERIA")
for determining, subject to Section 1.2.6, whether an Assay Candidate should
become a Collaboration Antibody; and

                        (f) update the description of Collaboration Target and
the potential utility of Antibody Products thereto in Appendix C to more
accurately reflect what Antigens, or portions thereof, are included in the
Collaboration as such additional information becomes available in the course of
the Collaboration.

The Steering Committee may elect to use a Third Party to provide one or more
Immunogen(s) to the Collaboration. In addition, the Steering Committee may elect
to have a Third Party develop and/or perform one or more of the Assays.

<PAGE>
                1.2.4 ALLOCATION OF COSTS. All costs associated with identifying
Collaboration Targets, preparing and furnishing to Medarex complete Antigen
Evaluation Materials with respect thereto, and creating and delivering the
Immunogen(s) to Medarex (the "NORTHWEST RESEARCH ACTIVITIES") shall be borne
100% by Northwest. All costs associated with immunizing the HuMAb Mice and
raising a panel of different Antibodies to the applicable Collaboration Target
pursuant to the last sentence of Section 1.2.5 (the "MEDAREX RESEARCH
ACTIVITIES") shall be borne 100% by Medarex. All costs associated with
developing and performing the Assays shall be borne 50% by Medarex and 50% by
Northwest. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Northwest Research
Activities and the Medarex Research Activities are deemed to be and are of equal
value and neither Party shall have any right to reimbursement or credit from the
other Party for the cost and expenses associated with such research activities.

                1.2.5 RAISING OF ANTIBODIES BY MEDAREX. The Party designated
under Section 1.2.3(b) shall provide to Medarex sufficient Immunogen for each
Collaboration Target to enable Medarex to perform its activities pursuant to
this Section 1.2.5. Upon the delivery of such Immunogen, Medarex shall use
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to immunize the HuMAb Mice and raise a panel of
different Antibodies to the applicable Collaboration Target.

                1.2.6 SELECTION OF ASSAY CANDIDATES; ASSAY SCREENING; SELECTION
OF COLLABORATION ANTIBODIES.

                        (a) Medarex shall select a subset of the Antibodies
raised pursuant to Section 1.2.5 to become "ASSAY CANDIDATES" by identifying
those of the Antibodies that have a greater likelihood to qualify as
Collaboration Antibodies. Medarex will make available to the Steering Committee
such raw data and information as may be requested from time to time regarding
the Antibodies raised pursuant to Section 1.2.5 and the selection criteria
applied by Medarex. Subject to Section 1.2.6(b), upon review of the data
presented by Medarex, the Steering Committee shall have the right to designate
additional Antibodies as Assay Candidates. As set forth under the applicable
Project Plan, the Parties shall run each Assay Candidate through the applicable
Assays. Upon completion of the Assay screening for a given Assay Candidate, each
Party will be provided with the results of such screening (including the raw
data underlying such results). The Steering Committee will then determine
whether the Assay Candidate has met the applicable Assay Success Criteria.
Subject to Section 1.2.6(b), each Assay Candidate that meets the applicable
Assay Success Criteria shall be deemed to be a "COLLABORATION ANTIBODY";
provided, however the Steering Committee may, in its sole discretion, (i) decide
that an Assay Candidate that meets the Assay Success Criteria shall nonetheless
not be deemed to be a Collaboration Antibody, or (ii) decide that an Assay
Candidate that does not meet the Assay Success Criteria shall nonetheless be
deemed to be a Collaboration Antibody.

                        (b) Promptly after the identification of any Assay
Candidate that meets the Assay Success Criteria, Medarex shall determine whether
Medarex: (i) is researching or developing, or has researched or developed,
either alone or in collaboration with a Third Party, such Assay Candidate, or
(ii) has previously granted a Third Party rights with respect to such Assay
Candidate (each a "Reserved Antibody"). Medarex shall inform Northwest without
delay of its determination, and any Assay Candidates that are Reserved
Antibodies shall not become


                                       5
<PAGE>

Collaboration Antibodies, and all amounts of such Reserved Antibodies produced
pursuant to this Agreement will be destroyed. If an Assay Candidate is precluded
from becoming a Collaboration Antibody under this Section 1.2.6(b), then
notwithstanding Section 1.2.4 and anything herein to the contrary, Medarex:
shall bear one hundred percent (100%) of all cost associated with developing and
performing Assays with respect to such Assay Candidate (i.e. pro rated over all
Antibodies for which such Assay was developed and performed).

                1.2.7 EFFECT OF DESIGNATION OF COLLABORATION ANTIBODIES. Any
Antibody that is designated a Collaboration Antibody in accordance with Section
1.2.6 shall be exclusive to the Collaboration. Except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement, once an Antibody is designated a Collaboration Antibody, all
costs associated with the research, development and commercialization of such
Antibody shall be split fifty percent (50%) for Northwest and fifty percent
(50%) for Medarex, as more fully described in Section 4.1.

                1.2.8 LEAD COLLABORATION ANTIBODIES. Out of the pool of
Collaboration Antibodies against a given Collaboration Target, the Steering
Committee will select the Collaboration Antibody that it believes to be most
promising for development and commercialization and it will then move such
Collaboration Antibody into Production Process Development. Each Collaboration
Antibody that is put into Production Process Development shall be deemed to be a
"LEAD COLLABORATION ANTIBODY." It is understood that the Steering Committee may,
over time, select more than one Lead Collaboration Antibody against a given
Collaboration Target, or substitute one Lead Collaboration Antibody for another.
Upon designation of each Lead Collaboration Antibody, the Parties shall commence
Production Process Development for such antibody. Each Party will bear fifty
percent (50%) of the cost of Production Process Development as provided in
Section 1.2.7 above; provided that if the Steering Committee elects to have
Medarex perform such Production Process Development, then such fifty percent
(50%) share of Production Process Development costs shall be calculated based on
Medarex's Fully-Burdened Production Process Development Cost.

        SECTION 1.3 PROJECT PLAN AND PROJECT BUDGET. Upon designation of a given
Antigen as a Collaboration Target pursuant to Section 1.2.2, Medarex and
Northwest under the direction of the Steering Committee shall jointly develop
and implement a Project Plan (each a "PROJECT PLAN") and Project Budget (each a
"PROJECT BUDGET") for the research, development, manufacture and
commercialization of Collaboration Antibodies against such Collaboration Target.
It is understood that the components of each Project Plan and Project Budget
will evolve as the applicable Collaboration Antibodies move through the
research, development, manufacture and commercialization life cycle.

        SECTION 1.4 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS. Each Party shall perform, or cause to
be performed, its respective activities hereunder in good scientific manner, and
in compliance in all material respects with all Applicable Law and shall use
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to (a) research, develop, file for Regulatory
Approval and commercialize one or more Collaboration Products with respect to
each Lead Collaboration Antibody, and (b) achieve the objectives of each Project
Plan in accordance with each Project Budget, in each case, efficiently and
expeditiously by allocating sufficient time, effort, equipment and skilled
personnel to complete such activities successfully and promptly.

        SECTION 1.5 PRODUCT TRADEMARKS. The Parties shall develop Product
Trademarks for each Collaboration Product that will be commercialized. Such
Product Trademarks shall not be confusingly similar to, misleading or deceptive
with respect to, or dilute any of the Trademarks owned or Controlled by either
of the Parties, or any part of such Trademarks. No Party or any of its
Affiliates or sublicensees shall commercialize a Collaboration Product under any
Trademark other than the Product Trademarks. No Party or any of its Affiliates
or sublicensees shall use in its business any Trademark that is confusingly
similar to, misleading or deceptive with respect to, or dilutes any of the
Product Trademarks or any other Trademarks used to identify or distinguish a
Collaboration Product, or any part of the foregoing. The Steering Committee
shall oversee the filing, prosecution and maintenance of all Product Trademark
registrations. The Parties shall share equally (50%) in the costs and expenses
of such filing, prosecution and maintenance. Subject to Applicable Law, the
label of any Collaboration Products shall include, at Northwest's sole
discretion, the name of Northwest and, at Medarex's sole discretion, the name of
Medarex.

        SECTION 1.6 SUPPLY OF COLLABORATION PRODUCTS. Each Party shall have the
right to submit to the Steering Committee a proposal for the manufacture of
clinical and/or commercial supplies of Collaboration Products. The Steering
Committee shall negotiate at arm's length with each Party that submits such
proposal the price and other terms and conditions of such supply, and, subject
to the terms of this Section 1.6, shall select one of the Parties as the
manufacturer of Collaboration Products after such arm's length negotiations;
provided that the terms arrived at in such negotiations shall be competitive
compared to other manufacturers of antibody products in the industry. In the
event that the Steering Committee determines that the terms offered by either or
both Parties at the end of such negotiations are not competitive, the Steering
Committee shall solicit bids from Third Party suppliers to supply the Parties'
requirements thereof In any event, the Steering Committee shall use its best
efforts to enter into a supply agreement with the supplier that is best able to
meet the Parties' requirements, taking into consideration such factors as price,
quality, capacity, quantity, reliability, timeliness and reputation.

        SECTION 1.7 REVERSION OF COLLABORATION TARGETS. If, notwithstanding the
Commercially Reasonable Efforts of the Parties, no Collaboration Antibodies have
been designated with respect to a Collaboration Target pursuant to Section
1.2.6(a) within two (2) years, or such other period as the Parties may agree,
after the immunization of the HuMAb Mice with respect to such Collaboration
Target pursuant to Section 1.2.5, then (a) such Antigen shall cease to be a
Collaboration Target (such Antigen, a "REVERSION TARGET"), and Appendix C shall
be amended accordingly, (b) any Antibodies with respect thereto shall not become
Collaboration Antibodies, (c) any Antibody Products with respect thereto shall
not become Collaboration Products, and (d) any licenses granted pursuant to
Article 3, with respect to such Antigen, Antibody or Antibody Product shall
terminate. Promptly upon such designation, the Parties shall destroy all
Antibody Products and other Biological Materials created under this Agreement
with respect to such a Reversion Target.

manifest error.

                4.5.3 PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS. If, based on the results of
such audit, additional payments are owed by a Party under this Agreement, such
Party shall make such additional payments, with interest from the date
originally due at the rate of one and a half percent (1.5%) per month, within

one hand, and Northwest, on the other hand) (the "OPTING-OUT PARTY") shall have
the right, on thirty (30) days' written notice to the other (an "OPT-OUT
NOTICE"), to elect not to proceed with the research, development and
commercialization ("OPT-OUT") of all Collaboration Products with respect to a
given Collaboration Target, provided that such Party shall be responsible for
all budgeted costs and expenses associated with the research and development
activities with respect to such Collaboration Product(s) that such Party has
committed to in the applicable Project Budget as necessary to complete that
phase of research and development (e.g., toxicology studies in support of an IND
or Phase I, Phase II or Phase III studies) that was under way when such Party
Opted-Out. By way of clarification, if a Party Opts-Out of a Collaboration
Product with respect to a Collaboration Target, such Party will be deemed to
have Opted-Out with respect to all Antibody Products with respect to the same
Collaboration Target.

                5.1.2 RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO
UNILATERAL PRODUCTS.

                        (a) UNILATERAL DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION. Upon
receipt by a Party of an Opt-Out Notice, the receiving Party shall have the
right, on written notice to the Opting-Out Party within thirty (30) days
following receipt of the Opt-Out Notice (an "ELECTION NOTICE"), to proceed
unilaterally with the research, development and commercialization of all
Collaboration Antibodies to the applicable Collaboration Target (each, a
"UNILATERAL PRODUCT") pursuant to the separate agreement with the Opting-Out
Party attached hereto as Appendix D-1 or Appendix D-2, as applicable (each, a
"UNILATERAL DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION AGREEMENT"). Upon receipt by
Medarex of an Election Notice from Northwest with respect to a Collaboration
Target, the Unilateral Development and Commercialization Agreement set forth in
Appendix D-1 shall be automatically amended to include such Collaboration Target
and any Antibody Products with respect thereto. Upon receipt by Northwest of an
Election Notice from Medarex with respect to a Collaboration Target, the
Unilateral Development and Commercialization Agreement set forth in Appendix D-2
shall be automatically amended to include such Collaboration Target and any
Antibody Products with respect thereto. Upon such amendment of a Unilateral
Development and Commercialization Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.1.2, the
applicable Antigen shall cease to be a Collaboration Target and Appendix Q shall
be amended accordingly, and any licenses granted pursuant to Article 3, with
respect to such Antigen and any Antibodies and Antibody Products with respect
thereto, shall terminate. The Parties shall work together to ensure a smooth and
orderly transition of the Unilateral Products to the non-Opting-Out Party,
including the assignment of any contracts with respect to the Exploitation of
such Unilateral Products to the non-Opting-Out Party, and the assumption by the
non-Opting-Out Party of any obligations thereunder. Except for the obligations
provided for in Section 5.1.1, the Opting-Out Party shall have (x) no further
financial obligation to support or otherwise fund any additional efforts in
respect of such Unilateral Product, and (y) no obligation, responsibility, or
authority regarding such additional efforts in respect of such Unilateral
Product. In the event that neither Party elects to proceed with the research,
development or commercialization of any Collaboration Product with respect to a
Collaboration Target, the rights and obligations of the Parties with respect to
such Collaboration Target shall be governed by Sections 5.2 and 5.3.

                        (b) OPT-OUT OF UNILATERAL PRODUCTS. If, at any time, the
non-Opting Out Party elects to Opt-Out of all Unilateral Products with respect
to a Unilateral Target (as defined in the applicable Unilateral Development and
Commercialization Agreement) pursuant to such Unilateral Development and
Commercialization Agreement and the other Party does not elect to proceed
unilaterally with the research, development and commercialization of such
Unilateral Products, all such Unilateral Products shall become Dormant Products
pursuant to Section 5.3 and the non-Opting Out Party shall, without any
additional consideration, assign fifty percent (50%) of its right, title and
interest in and to any Product Trademark and all Regulatory Documentation with
respect to such Unilateral Products, including any Regulatory Approvals and
applications therefor (but excluding any Regulatory Documentation comprising
Production Process Technology, including any drug master file), to the other
Party.

        SECTION 5.2 THIRD-PARTY RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION OF
COLLABORATION PRODUCTS. The Parties shall have the right, at any time with
respect to a Collaboration Product, to license to Third Parties rights with
respect to the research, development, manufacture or commercialization of such
Collaboration Product on such terms and conditions as the Parties may mutually
agree; provided that (a) any such sublicense with respect to the Medarex
Technology shall be governed by the procedures set forth in Sections 3.3.5 and
3.4; and (b) any disputes between the Parties as to whether or not to grant such
a license shall not be subject to litigation or any other Third Party dispute
resolution mechanism.

        SECTION 5.3 DORMANT PRODUCTS. If the Parties do not elect to proceed
with the research, development or commercialization of a particular
Collaboration Product with respect to a Collaboration Target, and the Parties
have not licensed rights to such Collaboration Product to a Third Party
pursuant, to Section 5.2 that would be inconsistent therewith, (each, a "DORMANT
PRODUCT") either Party shall have the right at any time, subject to Section 3.3,
to bring such Collaboration Product to the Steering Committee to discuss whether
to initiate or reinitiate the research, development or commercialization of such
Dormant Product. The initiating Party shall specify the reasons for proposing to
initiate or reinitiate, such research, development or commercialization. If,
within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice, the other Party fails
to notify the interested Party in writing that it wishes to participate in the
research, development or commercialization of such Dormant Product, then the
interested Party shall have the right to pursue research, development or
commercialization of such Dormant Product as a Unilateral Product pursuant to
Section 5.1, provided that no Collaboration Product with respect to the same
Collaboration Target as such Dormant Product is being Exploited under this
Agreement or by the other Party under a Unilateral Development and
Commercialization Agreement.

shall first have given notice to such other Party and given such other Party a
reasonable opportunity to quash such order and to obtain a protective order
requiring that the Confidential Information and documents that are the subject
of such order be held in confidence by such court or agency or, if disclosed, be
used only for the purposes for which the order was issued; and provided further
that if a disclosure order is not quashed or a protective order is not obtained,
the Confidential Information disclosed in response to such court or governmental
order shall be limited to that information which is legally required to be
disclosed in response to such court or governmental order;

                6.4.2 REQUIRED BY LAW. Otherwise required by law; provided,

expenses



                                       23
<PAGE>

associated with the filing, prosecution (including any interferences, reissue
proceedings and reexaminations) and maintenance of all Collaboration Patents.

                        (b) FILINGS OF PRODUCT TRADEMARKS. The Steering
Committee, with respect to a Collaboration Product, shall supervise and direct
the filing, prosecution and maintenance of the registrations of the Product
Trademarks for such Collaboration Product. The Steering Committee shall provide
each Party with (i) drafts of any new application to register a Product
Trademark prior to filing that application, allowing adequate time for review
and comment by the Parties if possible; provided, however, the Steering
Committee shall not be obligated to delay the filing of any application; and
(ii) copies of all correspondence from any and all Trademark offices concerning
Product Trademark registrations and an opportunity to comment on any proposed
responses, voluntary amendments and submissions of any kind to be made to any

promptly in writing and in good time to enable such other Party to meet any
deadlines by which an action must be taken to establish or preserve any such
rights in such Collaboration Technology or Product Trademark, as applicable, in
such country. Upon receipt of each such notice by such other Party or if, at any
time, such Party fails to initiate any such action within thirty (30) days after
a request by such other Party that it do so (or thereafter diligently pursue
such action), such other Party shall have



                                       24
<PAGE>

the right, but not the obligation, to pursue the filing or registration, or
support the continued prosecution or maintenance, of such Patent or Product
Trademark, as applicable, at its expense in such country. If such other Party
elects to pursue such filing or registration, as the case may be, or continue
such support, then such other Party shall notify such Party of such election and
such Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, licensees and sublicensees, as
applicable, to, (x) reasonably cooperate with such other Party in this regard,
and (y) subject to Article 3, promptly release or assign to such other Party,
without compensation, all right, title and interest in and to such Patent or

        SECTION 7.3 ENFORCEMENT OF PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS.

                7.3.1 RIGHTS AND PROCEDURES. If Medarex or Northwest determines
that any Technology or Product Trademark is being infringed by a Third Party's
activities and that such infringement could affect the exercise by the Parties
of their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement, it shall
promptly notify the other Party in writing and provide such other Party with any
evidence of such infringement that is reasonably available. Promptly after the
receipt of such written notice, the Parties shall meet and discuss in good faith
the removal of such infringement. The pursuing Party shall consider in good
faith any comments from the other Party and shall keep the other Party
reasonably informed of any steps taken to remove such infringement.

                7.3.2 COLLABORATION TECHNOLOGY AND PRODUCT TRADEMARKS. With
respect to Collaboration Technology and Product Trademarks, the Steering
Committee shall have the first right to remove such infringement using
commercially appropriate steps, including the filing of an infringement suit or
taking other similar action. Each Party shall be responsible for half of the
reasonable and verifiable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such
action. In the event the Steering Committee fails to take commercially
appropriate steps to remove any infringement of any such Collaboration
Technology or Product Trademark within ninety (90) days following notice of such
infringement, or earlier notifies the Parties in writing of its intent not to
take such steps, and (i) such failure to act is due to the refusal of one
Party's representatives on the Steering Committee to authorize action over the
objection of the other Party's representatives, then the Party whose
representatives wish to proceed shall have the right to do so at its expense, or
(ii) such failure to act is due to any reason other than as set forth in clause
(i) above, then either Party shall have the right to proceed at its expense;
provided, however, that if the Steering Committee has commenced negotiations
with an alleged infringer for discontinuance of such infringement within such
ninety (90) day period, the Steering Committee shall have an additional ninety
(90) days to conclude its negotiations before a Party unilaterally may bring
suit for such infringement.

                7.3.3 OTHER TECHNOLOGY. With respect to Technology of a Party,
the owner of such Technology shall have the sole right, but not the obligation,
to remove such infringement; provided, however, that the other Party shall
reimburse the owner of such Technology for fifty percent (50%) of the reasonable
out-of-pocket costs incurred by such owner with respect to the removal of any
such infringement with respect to any Collaboration Product.



                                       25
<PAGE>

                7.3.4 COOPERATION. The Party not enforcing the applicable
Technology or Product Trademark shall provide reasonable assistance to the other
Party, including providing access to relevant documents and other evidence,
making its employees available at reasonable business hours, and joining the
action to the extent necessary to allow the enforcing Party to maintain the
action.

                7.3.5 RECOVERY. Any amounts recovered by a Party pursuant to
this Section 7.3, whether by settlement or judgment, shall be used to reimburse
the Parties for their reasonable costs and expenses in making such recovery
(which amounts shall be allocated pro rata if insufficient to cover the totality
of such expenses), with any remainder being retained by the Party that has
exercised its right to bring the enforcement action; provided, however, that to
the extent that any award is attributable to loss of sales of a Collaboration
Product, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith an appropriate allocation of
such award to reflect the economic interests of the Parties under this Agreement
with respect to such Collaboration Product.

        SECTION 7.4 POTENTIAL THIRD PARTY RIGHTS.

                7.4.1 THIRD PARTY LICENSES.

                        (a) If (i) in the Collective Opinion of Counsel, a
Party, or any of its Affiliates, licensees or permitted sublicensees, cannot
Exploit a Collaboration Product in a country in the Territory without infringing
one or more Patents that have issued to a Third Party in such country, or (ii)
as a result of any claim made against a Party, or any of its Affiliates,
licensees or permitted sublicensees, alleging that the Exploitation of a
Collaboration Product infringes or misappropriates any Patent or any other
intellectual property right of a Third Party in a country in the Territory, a
judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal is
taken within the time permitted for appeal, such that a Party cannot Exploit
such Collaboration Product in such country without infringing the Patent or
other proprietary rights of such Third Party, then, in either case, the Parties
shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain a license in the names of
the Parties from such Third Party as necessary for the Exploitation of any
Collaboration Products hereunder in such country. Such activities shall be
coordinated through the Steering Committee. Without acknowledging any actual or
potential infringement, the Parties agree that it is in the best interests of
the Collaboration to seek to enter into a cross license with [  ***  ] to
ensure that the Collaboration has freedom to operate with respect to
Collaboration Products against the Collaboration Target referred to on Appendix
C as PSMA. Accordingly, the Parties further agree that (i) no Collective Opinion
of Counsel shall be necessary for the Steering Committee to commence
negotiations with [  ***  ] and its licensees to obtain such cross license, and
(ii) the Steering Committee shall, promptly after the Effective Date, commence
such negotiations and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain such cross
license.

                        (b) Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, Medarex shall
have the sole right to seek any such license with respect to Mice-Related
Technology or any Production Process Technology, and shall use Commercially
Reasonable Efforts to obtain such a license in its own name from such Third
Party in such country, under which Medarex shall, to the extent permissible
under such license, grant a sublicense to Northwest as necessary for Northwest,
and


[  ***  ]INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL
TREATMENT AND HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION.



                                       26
<PAGE>

any of its Affiliates and permitted sublicensees, to Exploit the Collaboration
Products as provided hereunder in such country. If Medarex is unable to secure
the right to sublicense to Northwest, the Parties shall meet to discuss how to
proceed. If the Parties are unable to come to a mutually satisfactory
arrangement, and if Northwest does not wish to proceed with a joint development
and commercialization of a Collaboration Antibody for which such sublicense is
required, it shall notify Medarex thereof in writing, which notice shall be
deemed to be an Opt-Out Notice as provided in Section 5.1.1.

                        (c) The Parties shall each bear fifty percent (50%) of
any royalty or other payment obligations under the licenses obtained as provided
in subsections (a) or (b) above, except with respect to the Medarex Technology
or the Northwest Technology, where Northwest and Medarex, respectively, shall be
responsible for fifty percent (50%) of only those royalty and other payment
obligations with respect to the Exploitation of Collaboration Products and the
other activities of the Parties hereunder.

                        (d) For purposes of this Section 7.4.1, "COLLECTIVE
OPINION OF COUNSEL" shall mean the final joint opinion of patent counsel
selected by Northwest and patent counsel selected by Medarex, after review of
all data and information reasonably available at the time such opinion is
rendered. If patent counsel for the Parties cannot agree on a final joint
opinion within twenty (20) days after submission of the matter to such counsel,
the patent counsel of the Parties shall agree on a third patent counsel who
shall offer an independent opinion on the subject matter, which independent
opinion shall be deemed the Collective Opinion of Counsel.

                7.4.2 THIRD PARTY LITIGATION.

                        (a) In the event that a Third Party institutes a Patent,
Trademark or other infringement suit (including any suit alleging the invalidity
or unenforceability of the Patents of a Party or its Affiliates, or claiming
confusion, deception or dilution of a Trademark by a Product Trademark) against
either Party or its respective Affiliates, licensees or permitted sublicensees
during the Term, alleging that the Exploitation of the Collaboration Products in
the Territory or any other activities hereunder, infringes one or more Patent,
Trademark or other intellectual property rights held by such Third Party (an
"INFRINGEMENT SUIT"), the Parties shall cooperate with one another in defending
such suit.

                        (b) With respect to the Medarex Technology or the
Northwest Technology, the Parties shall jointly direct and control any
Infringement Suit with respect to Collaboration Products or any Collaboration
Patents; provided, however, that no Party shall cease to defend, settle or
otherwise dispose of a suit with respect to any intellectual property of the
other Party without the prior written consent of such other Party.

                        (c) Each Party shall have the sole right to direct and
control (including the right to cease to defend, settle or compromise) any
Infringement Suit with respect to its Technology. The Parties shall each bear
fifty percent (50%) of any costs and expenses of such defense, except with
respect to the Medarex Technology or the Northwest Technology, where Northwest
and Medarex, respectively, shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of those
costs



                                       27
<PAGE>

and expenses only with respect to the Exploitation of Collaboration Products and
the other activities of the Parties hereunder.

                7.4.3 RETAINED RIGHTS. Nothing in this Section 7.4 shall prevent
either Party, at its own expense, from obtaining any license or other rights
from Third Parties it deems appropriate in order to permit the full and
unhindered exercise of its rights or performance of its obligations under this
Agreement; provided, however, that the terms of such license shall not impair
the rights of the other Party to Exploit the Collaboration Products.

        SECTION 7.5 EXCHANGE OF KNOW-HOW.

                7.5.1 INFORMATION DISCLOSURE. Each Party shall, and shall cause
its Affiliates, licensees and sublicensees, as applicable, to, without

available to the other Party, in whatever form each such other Party may
reasonably request, all Regulatory Documentation, all of its other Know-How, all
Information and Inventions included in the Collaboration Technology and any
other Information and Inventions relating, directly or indirectly, to the

at their respective places of business to consult with such other Party, as
applicable, on issues arising during such research, development,
commercialization or Exploitation.

shall obtain (or cause its Third Party collaborators to obtain or certify that
they have obtained) all appropriate and required consents from the source of
such Biological Materials; (d) Biological Materials provided by one Party to the
other Party (other than Collaboration Products) shall not be made available by
such other Party to any Third Party except as expressly provided in the Project
Plan, unless the prior written consent of the Party providing such Biological
Materials is first obtained; and (e) subject to the license grants in Article 3
and other provisions in this Agreement, all right, title and interest in and to
(i) the Mice Materials and the Mice-Related Technology shall be, and remain,
vested in Medarex, and (ii) the Collaboration Targets shall be, and remain,
vested in Northwest.

                7.5.4 REGULATORY RECORDS. With respect to the subject matter of
this Agreement, each Party shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, records of
its respective research, development, manufacturing and commercialization
activities, including all Regulatory Documentation, in sufficient detail and in
good scientific manner appropriate for patent and regulatory purposes, which
shall be complete and accurate and shall fully and properly reflect all work
done and results achieved in the performance of such activities, and which shall
be retained during the term of this Agreement and for a period of five (5) years
thereafter, or for such longer period as may be required by Applicable Law. Each
Party shall have the right, during normal business hours and upon reasonable
notice, to inspect and copy any such records, except, with respect to Medarex's
records, to the extent that such records contain proprietary information with
respect to the Production Process Technology or the HuMAb Mice.

                7.5.5 PRODUCTION PROCESS TECHNOLOGY. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Section 7.5 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Medarex shall
not be obligated to disclose or provide any of its Production Process
Technology, including Biological Materials, to Northwest or any Third Party;
provided, however, that Medarex shall provide such Production Process Know-How
to the Regulatory Authorities as is necessary to obtain and maintain Regulatory
Approval for Collaboration Products supplied by it pursuant to Section 1.6.
Medarex shall have the right to provide such Know-How to the Regulatory
Authorities in a drug master file, or any foreign equivalent that is designed to
protect Medarex's Confidential Information.

upon the Effective Date and shall continue in effect until the later of (a) the
first anniversary of the completion of all of the activities in Section 1.2, or

hereunder, whether pursuant to Section 1.7 or otherwise, or any Unilateral
Product being Exploited under a Unilateral Development and Commercialization
Agreement, unless terminated at an earlier date in accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth in this Article 8.

        SECTION 8.2 TERMINATION FOR MATERIAL BREACH.

                8.2.1 Any material failure by a Party to comply with any of its
material obligations contained herein shall entitle the Party not in default to
give to the Party in default



                                       29
<PAGE>

written notice specifying the nature of the default, requiring the defaulting
Party to make good or other-wise cure such default, and stating its intention if
such default is not cured to terminate or, at the option of the Party not in
default, to convert a Collaboration Product to which the material breach applies
to a Unilateral Product pursuant to Section 5.1.

                8.2.2 If such default is not cured within thirty (30) days after
the receipt of notice pursuant to subsection 8.2.1 above (or, if such default
cannot be cured within such thirty (30)-day period, if the Party in default does
not commence actions to cure such default within such period and thereafter
diligently continue such actions or if such default is not otherwise cured
within one-hundred and eighty (180) days after the receipt of such notice),
except in the case of a payment default, as to which the defaulting Party shall
have only a thirty (30) day cure period, the Party not in default shall be
entitled, on written notice to the other Party, without prejudice to any of its
other rights conferred on it by this Agreement, and in addition to any other
remedies available to it by law or in equity, to (a) terminate this Agreement in
its entirety, or (b) convert such Collaboration Product to a Unilateral Product
pursuant to Section 5.1, whereupon the defaulting Party shall be deemed the
Opting-Out Party with respect to such Unilateral Product for all purposes
hereunder and the notice provided under this provision shall be deemed
equivalent to an Election Notice as provided in Section 5.1.

        SECTION 8.3 TERMINATION UPON INSOLVENCY. Either Party may terminate this
Agreement if, at any time, the other Party shall file in any court or agency
pursuant to any statute or regulation of any state, country or jurisdiction, a
petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for an arrangement
or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of that Party or of its assets,
or if such other Party proposes a written agreement of composition or extension
of its debts, or if such other Party shall be served with an involuntary
petition against it, filed in any insolvency proceeding, and such petition shall
not be dismissed within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof, or if such
other Party shall propose or be a party to any dissolution or liquidation, or if
such other Party shall make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors.

        SECTION 8.4 RIGHTS IN BANKRUPTCY. All rights and licenses granted under

of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Parties agree that the Parties, as
licensees of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully
exercise all of their rights and elections under the United States Bankruptcy
Code. The Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a
bankruptcy proceeding by or against a Party under the United States Bankruptcy
Code, the Party hereto that is not a Party to such proceeding shall be entitled
to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such
intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, which,
if not already in the non-subject Party's possession, shall be promptly
delivered to it (a) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding upon
the non-subject Party's written request therefor, unless the Party subject to
such proceeding continues to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement
or (b) if not delivered under clause (a) above, following the rejection of this
Agreement by or on behalf of the Party subject to such proceeding upon written
request therefor by the non-subject Party.

occurring as a result of or in connection with (a) any breach by Northwest of
this Agreement, or (b) the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of
Northwest or its Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees in performing any

        SECTION 9.2 INDEMNIFICATION OF NORTHWEST. Medarex: shall indemnify
Northwest, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees
and agents, and defend and save each of them harmless, from and against any and
all Losses arising from or occurring as a result of or in connection with (a)
any breach by Medarex of this Agreement, or (b) the gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of Medarex or its Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees
in performing any activity contemplated by this Agreement, except for those
Losses for which Northwest has an obligation to indemnify Medarex: and its
Affiliates pursuant to Section 9.1, as to which Losses each Party shall
indemnify the other to the extent of their respective liability for the Losses.

        SECTION 9.3 INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURE.

                9.3.1 NOTICE OF CLAIM. The indemnified Party shall give the
indemnifying Party prompt written notice (an "INDEMNIFICATION CLAIM NOTICE") of
any Losses or discovery of fact upon which such indemnified Party intends to
base a request for indemnification under Section 9.1 or Section 9.2, but in no
event shall the indemnifying Party be liable for any Losses that result from any
delay in providing such notice. Each Indemnification Claim Notice must contain a
description of the claim and the nature and amount of such Loss (to the extent
that the nature and amount of such Loss are known at such time). The indemnified
Party shall furnish promptly to the indemnifying Party copies of all papers and
official documents received in respect of any Losses. All indemnification claims
in respect of a Party, its Affiliates or their respective directors, officers,
employees and agents (collectively, the "INDEMNITEES" and each an "INDEMNITEE")
shall be made solely by such Party to this Agreement (the "INDEMNIFIED PARTY").

                9.3.2 THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. The obligations of an indemnifying
Party under this Article 9 with respect to Losses arising from claims of any
Third Party that are subject to indemnification as provided for in Section 9.1
or 9.2 (a "THIRD PARTY CLAIM") shall be governed by and be contingent upon the
following additional terms and conditions:

                        (a) CONTROL OF DEFENSE.

                                (i) At its option, the indemnifying Party may
assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice to the
Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the indemnifying Party's receipt
of an Indemnification Claim Notice. The assumption of the defense of a Third
Party Claim by the indemnifying Party shall not be construed as an
acknowledgment that the indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify any Indemnitee
in respect of the Third Party Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the
indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against any Indemnitee's claim
for indemnification,

                                (ii) Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party
Claim, the indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the
Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the indemnifying Party. In the
event the indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the
Indemnified Party shall immediately deliver to the indemnifying Party all
original notices and documents (including court papers) received by any
Indemnitee in connection with the Third Party Claim. Should the indemnifying
Party assume the



                                       32
<PAGE>

defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying Party shall not be liable to
the Indemnified Party or any other Indemnitee for any legal expenses
subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party or other Indemnitee in
connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim.

                                (iii) In the event that it is ultimately
determined that the indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or
hold harmless an Indemnitee from and against the Third Party Claim, the
Indemnified Party shall reimburse the indemnifying Party for any and all costs
and expenses (including attorneys' fees and costs of suit) and any Losses
incurred by the indemnifying Party in its defense of the Third Party Claim with
respect to such Indemnitee.

                        (b) RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN DEFENSE. Without limiting
Section 9.3.2(a), any Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in, but not
control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its
choice for such purpose- provided, however that such employment shall be at the
Indemnitee's own expense unless (i) the employment thereof has been specifically
authorized by the indemnifying Party in writing, or (ii) the indemnifying Party
has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section
9.3.2(a) (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defense).

                        (c) SETTLEMENT. With respect to any Losses relating
solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party Claim
and that will not result in the Indemnitee's becoming subject to injunctive or
other relief or otherwise adversely affect the business of the Indemnitee in any
manner, and as to which the indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in
writing the obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder, the indemnifying
Party shall have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter
into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, on such terms as the
indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate. With respect
to all other Losses in connection with Third Party Claims, where the
indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in
accordance with Section 9.3.2(a), the indemnifying Party shall have authority to
consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise
dispose of such Loss provided it obtains the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
The indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement or other
disposition of a Loss by an Indemnitee that is reached without the written
consent of the indemnifying Party. Regardless of whether the indemnifying Party
chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, no Indemnitee shall admit
any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third
Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party.

                        (d) COOPERATION. Regardless of whether the indemnifying
Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified
Party shall, and shall cause each other Indemnitee to, cooperate in the defense
or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and
testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery
proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in
connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include access during normal
business hours afforded to the indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention
by the Indemnified Party of, records and information that are reasonably
relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making Indemnitees and



                                       33
<PAGE>

other employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide
additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, and
the indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.

                        (e) EXPENSES. Except as provided above, the reasonable
and verifiable costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel,
incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any claim shall be
reimbursed on a calendar quarter basis by the indemnifying Party, without
prejudice to the indemnifying Party's right to contest the Indemnified Party's
right to indemnification and subject to refund in the event the indemnifying
Party is ultimately held not to be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party.

        SECTION 9.4 INSURANCE. Each Party shall have and maintain such types and
amounts of liability insurance as is normal and customary in the industry
generally for parties similarly situated, and shall upon request provide the
other Party with a copy of its policies of insurance in that regard, along with
any amendments and revisions thereto.

                                   ARTICLE 10
