                                      11.
<PAGE>

which the JSC decides whether to select such Candidate Target, P&U may search
for mammalian orthologues of such Candidate Target. No other work may be
performed by or on behalf of P&U or its sublicensees on the Candidate Target
unless and until it is selected by the JSC as a Selected Target. Within [ * ] of
the selection of a Selected Target, P&U shall [ * ]. With respect to each
Selected Target, P&U shall have the rights set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.4(a)
and the obligations set forth in Section 4.2 and Exelixis shall have the rights
and obligations set forth in Sections 5.3 and 5.4(a).

     4.2   Pursuit of Selected Targets.  P&U must use good faith Diligent
Efforts to validate Selected Targets, develop assays to assess the activity of
Selected Targets, use assays to discover Collaboration Compounds directed at
particular Selected Targets, develop and commercialize [ * ] Product per
Selected Target, and pay the applicable royalties set forth in Section 7.5.
P&U's diligence obligations under this Section 4.2 for the period prior to the
initiation of an active research and development program for a Collaboration
Compound active against a particular Selected Target will be deemed satisfied if
P&U: (i) develops a screening assay for the activity of a Selected Target and
initiates screening for modulators of the activity of the Selected Target within
[ * ] of the date on which the JSC selected such Selected Target, provided that,
upon reasonable request by P&U, the JMT shall grant up to an additional [ * ]
and (ii) initiates a program of lead optimization and/or medicinal chemistry
around lead compounds active in such assay within [ * ] of the date on which P&U
initiates screening for modulators of the activity of such Selected Target.

     4.3  Sharing of Biological Data. P&U shall provide Exelixis with copies of
all data generated by or on behalf of P&U or its Affiliate or sublicensee in the
course of validating a Selected Target, characterizing the biological function
of a Selected Target or identifying other genes or proteins that interact with a
Selected Target. Exelixis may use such data for any purpose other than
developing for use in the Applicable Field products comprising or incorporating
small molecule compounds directed at such Selected Target.

     4.4   Target Abandonment.

           (a)  A Selected Target will become an Abandoned Target if any of the
following circumstances arise: (i) such Target is selected by the applicable JSC
as a Selected Target but P&U fails to [ * ]; (ii) P&U designates it for
abandonment pursuant to Section 4.4(b); (iii) P&U uses a Selected Target for any
purpose other than that permitted in Section 5.1; or (iv) P&U fails to fulfill
its obligations set forth in Section 4.2 with respect to such Selected Target.
P&U shall lose all rights set forth in this Agreement with respect to each
Selected Target that becomes an Abandoned Target hereunder, unless such
abandonment is then the subject of an unresolved dispute that is in the process
of being resolved under the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section
13.2.

           (b)  If there are more than [ * ] Selected Targets on [ * ], P&U
shall reduce the number of Selected Targets to [ * ] by designating as Abandoned
Targets a number of Selected Targets equal to the number in excess of [ * ]. If
there are more than [ * ] Selected Targets on [ * ], P&U shall reduce the number
of Selected Targets to [ * ] by designating as Abandoned Targets a number of
Selected Targets equal to the number in excess of [ * ].

<PAGE>

     4.5   Targets Other Than Selected Targets. Exelixis shall retain all
rights to any Target that (i) does not fulfill the criteria for a Candidate
Target or (ii) is not selected by the applicable JSC as a Selected Target, and
such Targets shall not be subject to any terms of this Agreement other than
those set forth in Section 5.4(b).

     4.6   Records. P&U shall maintain complete and accurate records of all
scientific and development work conducted on Selected Targets, Collaboration
Compounds and Products and all results, data and developments made pursuant to
its research and development efforts under this Agreement. Such records shall be
complete and accurate and shall fully and properly reflect all work done and
results achieved in sufficient detail and in good scientific manner appropriate
for patent and regulatory purposes. Prior to the filing of a New Drug
Application for a particular Product, Exelixis shall have the right to review
and copy the records regarding that Product at reasonable times to the extent
necessary for Exelixis to evaluate P&U's compliance with its diligence
obligations set forth in Section 4.2.

     4.7   Reports. Every six months during the term of the Agreement, P&U will
submit to Exelixis and the JMT a written progress report summarizing the
research and development work performed on each Selected Target.

5.   LICENSES AND RELATED RIGHTS

     5.1   License to P&U. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Exelixis
hereby grants P&U an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license (with the
right to sublicense) under the Pre-existing Technologies and Sole Inventions
Controlled by Exelixis and under Exelixis' interest in the Joint Inventions (i)
to use each Selected Target to search for Collaboration Compounds directed at
such Selected Target for activity within the Applicable Field, (ii) to develop,
for use in the Applicable Field, Products comprising or incorporating such
Collaboration Compounds, (iii) to develop, following [ * ], such Product for any
human indication, and (iv) to make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell and have
sold such Products.

     5.2   License Limitations. P&U hereby covenants that it will not use a
Selected Target, Collaboration Compound or Product for a purpose other than that
permitted in Section 5.1 except the foregoing restriction shall not prevent P&U
from being able to perform independent research on Collaboration Compounds for
activity against targets other than Selected Targets or Homologs, or to develop,
make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell and have sold products comprising or
incorporating a Collaboration Compound where (i) the only intended use of such
product is due primarily to the activity of such Collaboration Compound against
a target discovered by P&U outside the scope of the Agreement and (ii) such
activity is not the modulation of activity of a Homolog and does not otherwise
directly affect a pathway of the Selected Target against which such
Collaboration Compound is also active. For example, but not by way of
limitation, P&U covenants that (i) it will not use a Selected Target to search
for a Collaboration Compound for incorporation in a Product to be used outside
the Applicable Field, and (ii) prior to its initiation of a clinical trial of a
Product for the Applicable Field, it will not perform preclinical experiments or
conduct clinical trials on that Product for an indication outside the Applicable
Field. Exelixis acknowledges that once P&U has commenced human clinical trials
of a Product, P&U shall thereafter have the right to develop such Product for
any and all indications (including without limitation the pursuit of preclinical
research for the purpose of determining potential additional uses).

sold and import such products; (iv) develop, make, have made, use, sell, offer
to sell, have sold and import products based on the Selected Target for all
agricultural and non-human applications; and (v) develop, make, have made, use,
sell, offer to sell, have sold and import, for use in any field, any other
products not meeting the definition of a Product, including without limitation
therapeutic protein products (including secreted proteins or peptides and
therapeutic antibodies), antisense products, vaccine products, gene therapy
products or diagnostic products based on the Selected Target.

           (b)  Abandoned Targets. P&U hereby grants to Exelixis an exclusive,
worldwide, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense) under the Sole
Inventions of P&U and under P&U's interest in the Joint Inventions to use each

commercialize any compounds isolated with respect to an Abandoned Target and
grants to Exelixis the right of first negotiation for a license to such
compounds. P&U also grants to Exelixis a nonexclusive license to all
intellectual property Controlled by P&U related to the use of assays to screen
for modifiers of an Abandoned Target.

     5.4   P&U's Rights of First Negotiation.

           (a)  Selected Targets. Prior to offering any Third Party the
opportunity to acquire a license to develop and commercialize a [ * ] identified
by Exelixis pursuant to its rights under [ * ]or a [ * ], Exelixis shall provide
P&U with the opportunity to consider whether it wishes to acquire such a
license. P&U shall have [ * ] following such offer in which to inform Exelixis
in writing that it is interested in acquiring such a license. Thereafter, the
Parties shall negotiate in good faith for [ * ] to reach agreement on the terms
of a license agreement which shall be set forth in either an executed license
agreement or an executed legally binding heads of agreement. If P&U fails to
notify Exelixis of its interest or the Parties fail to execute a license
agreement within the applicable period, then P&U shall have no rights with
respect to such use of said Selected Target and Exelixis shall have unrestricted
rights to pursue (without compensation to P&U) these applications of the
Selected Target, including, but not limited to, conducting Independent Research
on said Selected Target and developing or commercializing products
incorporating, based upon or identified using said Selected Target. The
foregoing

[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY

COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.

                                      14.
<PAGE>

rights shall terminate for each Selected Target [ * ] after the date the JSC
selected that Selected Target.

           (b)   Targets Not Selected.  With respect to a Target that is
presented to the JSC as a Candidate Target but is not selected by the JSC as a
Selected Target, prior to [ * ] wherein Exelixis [ * ] would pursue such Target
with the intent of developing, for use in the Applicable Field, products
incorporating small molecules, Exelixis shall provide P&U with the opportunity
to consider whether it wishes to acquire such a license. P&U shall have [ * ]
following such offer in which to inform Exelixis in writing that it is
interested in acquiring such a license. Thereafter, the Parties shall negotiate
in good faith for [ * ] to reach agreement on the terms of a license agreement
which shall be set forth in either an executed license agreement or an executed
legally binding heads of agreement. If P&U fails to notify Exelixis of its
interest or the Parties fail to execute a license agreement or a legally binding
heads of agreement within the applicable period, then P&U shall have no further
rights with respect to said Target and Exelixis shall have unrestricted rights
to pursue (without compensation to P&U) the Target, including, but not limited
to, conducting Independent Research on said Target and developing or
commercializing products incorporating, based upon or identified using said
Target. The foregoing rights shall terminate for each Target [ * ] after the
date the JSC decided not to select it as a Selected Target.

     5.5   Exelixis Undertaking To Grant Necessary Sublicenses. The licenses
granted by Exelixis herein do not include sublicenses under technology licensed
to Exelixis by Third Parties. In the event P&U concludes, during the Research
Term or within three years thereafter, that it is necessary or desirable for P&U
to obtain a sublicense under particular Third Party technology then Controlled
by Exelixis in order to search for Collaboration Compounds directed at a
Selected Target or to develop, manufacture or sell Products comprising or
incorporating such Collaboration Compounds, P&U shall so advise Exelixis and
Exelixis shall grant P&U a sublicense under the Third Party technology in
question, subject to negotiation of a mutually agreeable sublicense agreement.
Such sublicense shall specify the particular targets to be pursued by P&U, shall
[ * ], and shall contain other terms and conditions necessary to constitute the
grant of a valid sublicense. The sublicense to P&U shall automatically terminate
if P&U ceases its discovery, development or commercialization program within the
scope of the sublicense.

6.   EXCLUSIVITY

     6.1   P&U.  Except as provided in this Section 6.1, during the Research
Term, P&U will work exclusively with Exelixis for research, information and
services in the Fields using genetics or molecular biology in model organism
systems. If Exelixis is not willing to provide such research, information or
services or is not capable of initiating such work within six months of a
request by P&U, then P&U may procure such research, information or services from
a Third Party. The exclusivity obligation set forth in this Section 6.1 does not
apply to work performed internally by P&U or pursuant to a pre-existing
collaboration between P&U and a non-profit research or academic institution.

     6.2   Exelixis.  Except as otherwise provided in Sections 5.3 and 5.4,
during the Research Term Exelixis will not perform Independent Research directed
at [ * ]. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, although Exelixis shall use
Diligent Efforts to maintain exclusivity, in view of the nature of the Exelixis
technology, it is impossible for Exelixis to


[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY
BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.

                                      15.
<PAGE>

assure exclusivity with respect to the individual elements of data that Exelixis
generates, delivers and licenses to P&U hereunder. Two examples of overlapping
research are presented below to demonstrate the principles by which Exelixis
will resolve such issues:

           (a)   Exelixis may start Independent Research involving [ * ], and
subsequently discover that the Independent Research involves [ * ]. Under these
circumstances, Exelixis may continue such Independent Research independent of
the Collaboration. If such Independent Research is funded by a Third Party,
separate experiments would be performed for the Collaboration and the
Independent Research, and Exelixis would not share the results of or other
Information concerning the Collaboration with any Third Party involved in the
Independent Research nor would Exelixis share the results of or other
information concerning the Independent Research with P&U or the JMT, JPC or any
of the JSCs. In such case, Exelixis would be free to disclose and license the
results of such Independent Research to such Third Party, provided, however,
that Exelixis would not be entitled to grant any license to a Third Party to use
a target that had been first identified in a Research Program, and had not yet
been designated as an Abandoned Target, to search for small molecules (i.e.,
molecular weight of less than or equal to [ * ]) for use within the Field. Such
Third Party license shall not necessarily restrict such Third Party's
development of a pharmaceutical product once [ * ] (i.e., the Third Party
license may contain provisions comparable to those set forth in Section 5.2 of
this Agreement).

           (b)   Exelixis may be engaged by a Third Party to identify the target
of a compound under an arrangement whereby the identity of the compound is
unknown to Exelixis. Exelixis will reveal the identity of the target to the
Third Party and the Third Party shall be entitled to use that information for
any purpose. If the target is [ * ], Exelixis will inform the Third Party that,
on account of its exclusivity obligations to another party, Exelixis is unable
to perform further work on this target.

The exclusivity of the license granted to P&U in Section 5.1 shall be subject to
the grant of licenses to Third Parties consistent with paragraphs (a) and (b) of
this Section 6.2.  Upon request of the JMT, Exelixis shall consult with the JMT
from time to time regarding its procedures for seeking to avoid overlapping
research activities on behalf of multiple Third Parties.

7.   COMPENSATION

     7.1   License Fee.  P&U shall pay Exelixis a license fee of $5 million as
follows: $3 million on the Effective Date and $2 million on the first
anniversary of the Effective Date. Without limiting the rights of P&U under
Section 10.2, any license fee payments made by P&U to Exelixis pursuant to this
Section 7.1 shall be noncreditable and nonrefundable.

     7.2   Equity and Note Purchase.  Pursuant to the separate Stock Purchase
Agreement and Note Purchase Agreement entered into concurrent with this
Agreement, P&U shall make a $7.5 million equity investment in Exelixis and shall
purchase a $7.5 million promissory note which shall convert into Exelixis equity
securities upon terms specified therein. The terms of such stock and note
purchase shall be governed exclusively by such other agreements and related
documents executed pursuant thereto.

     7.3   Research Support.  During the Research Term, P&U will make quarterly
advance payments to Exelixis equal to one-quarter of the Annual FTE Rate
multiplied by the number of P&U-funded FTEs for that quarter as set forth in
Table 1 and Section 3.4. During the Research Term, P&U will also fund, on an as-
needed basis, up to [ * ] per year of Third Party Contract Research approved by
the JMT pursuant to Section 3.9. Without limiting the rights of P&U under
Section 10.2, any research support payments made by P&U to Exelixis hereunder
shall be noncreditable and nonrefundable.

     7.4   Milestone Payments.  Within [ * ], P&U shall make the applicable
milestone payment to Exelixis as set forth below. Without limiting the rights of
P&U under Section 10.2, any milestone payments made by P&U to Exelixis hereunder
shall be noncreditable and nonrefundable.

           (a)   For [ * ] of this Agreement (that is, until [ * ], P&U shall
pay [ * ] for [ * ]. No payment shall be required for [ * ].

           (b)   Starting with [ * ] of the Research Term and continuing until [
* ], P&U's milestone payment obligations shall be as follows:

                 (i) If [ * ] and [ * ], P&U shall pay [ * ]. Such milestone
payments shall continue until [ * ]. Thereafter, P&U shall pay [ * ].

                 (ii) If [ * ] or [ * ], P&U shall pay [ * ] for each Selected
Target.

     7.5   Royalty Payments.  Exelixis shall receive a running royalty on Net
Sales of Products at the royalty rates stated below. Except as set forth in
Section 7.7, these royalty rates shall not be subject to adjustment or reduction
for any reason.

           (a)   [ * ] Product. For [ * ], P&U will pay royalties to Exelixis at
the following rates [ * ]:

            Annual Net Sales of Product    Royalty Rate
            ---------------------------    ------------
            [ * ]                          [ * ]
            [ * ]                          [ * ]
            [ * ]                          [ * ]

           (b)   Other Products. For each Product other than [ * ], P&U will pay
royalties to Exelixis at the following rates:

            Annual Net Sales of Product    Royalty Rate
            ---------------------------    ------------
            [ * ]                          [ * ]
            [ * ]                          [ * ]
            [ * ]                          [ * ]

           (c) Example. By way of example, if in a particular calendar year, P&U
sells two Products, with one Product having [ * ] and the other Product having
[ * ], then P&U shall make royalty payments to Exelixis during that year
totaling [ * ] with respect to the first Product and [ * ] with respect to the
second Product.

All royalty payments to Exelixis hereunder shall be noncreditable and
nonrefundable. For the purposes of royalty payments, all dosage forms and
formulations containing the same Collaboration Compound shall be deemed a single
Product. The measure of annual sales set forth in this Section 7.5 shall be the
sum of Net Sales of a particular Product in all countries, and the royalty rate
indicated shall apply to all Net Sales for that Product during the calendar
year.

      7.6   Quarterly Payments. All royalties due under Section 7.5 shall be
paid quarterly, on a country-by-country basis, within [ * ] of the end of the
relevant quarter. Royalties shall be calculated for each of the first three
calendar quarters of a calendar year on the basis of the royalty rate actually
earned in the previous calendar year. (For the first calendar year of sales
under this Agreement, the royalty rate to be used for purposes of royalty
payments for the first three calendar quarters shall be [ * ].) At the end of
the calendar year, P&U shall calculate the royalties due for the year as a
whole, using the actual royalty rate applicable based on that year's sales, and
shall pay to Exelixis all royalties due for that year, less amounts previously
paid in the first three quarterly payments.

     7.7   Term of Royalties.  Exelixis' right to receive royalties under
Section 7.5 shall expire on a country-by-country basis upon the later of (i)
fifteen years from the first commercial sale of such Product in such country,
or (ii) expiration of the last to expire Patent in such country [ * ]. If (ii)
occurs prior to (i), then P&U's royalty payments under Section 7.5 shall be
[ * ] for the remainder of such fifteen-year period following the expiration of
such last to expire Patent.

     7.8   Royalty Payment Reports.  All royalty payments under this Agreement
shall be made to Exelixis or its designee quarterly within [ * ] following the
end of each calendar quarter for which royalties are due. Each royalty payment
shall be accompanied by a statement stating the number, description, and
aggregate Net Sales, by country, of each Product sold during the relevant
calendar quarter.

     7.9   Payment Method.  All payments due under this Agreement to Exelixis
shall be made by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account
designated by Exelixis. All payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. dollars.

     7.10  Taxes.  Exelixis shall pay any and all taxes levied on account of all
payments it receives under this Agreement. If laws or regulations require that
taxes be withheld, P&U will (i) deduct those taxes from the remittable payment,
(ii) pay the taxes to the proper taxing authority, and (iii) send evidence of
the obligation together with proof of tax payment to Exelixis within 60 days
following that tax payment.

     7.11  Blocked Currency.  In each country where the local currency is
blocked and cannot be removed from the country, royalties accrued in that
country shall be paid to Exelixis in the country in local currency by deposit in
a local bank designated by Exelixis, unless the Parties otherwise agree.

     7.12  Sublicenses.  In the event P&U grants licenses or sublicenses to
others to sell Products which are subject to royalties under Section 7.5, such
licenses or sublicenses shall include an obligation for the licensee or
sublicensee to account for and report its sales of Products on the same basis as
if such sales were Net Sales by P&U, and P&U shall pay to

Exelixis, with respect to such sales, royalties as if such sales of the licensee
or sublicensee were Net Sales of P&U.

     7.13  Foreign Exchange.  Conversion of sales recorded in local currencies
to U.S. dollars will be performed in a manner consistent with P&U's normal
practices used to prepare its audited financial statements for internal and
external reporting purposes, which uses a widely accepted source of published
exchange rates.

     7.14  Records; Inspection.  P&U shall keep complete, true and accurate
books of account and records for the purpose of determining the payments to be
made under this Agreement. Such books and records shall be kept for at least
three years following the end of the calendar quarter to which they pertain.
Such records will open for inspection during such three year period by
independent accountants, solely for the purpose of verifying payment statements
hereunder. Such inspections shall be made no more than once each calendar year,
at reasonable time and on reasonable notice. Inspections conducted under this
Section 7.14 shall be at the expense of Exelixis, unless a variation or error
producing an increase exceeding 5% of the royalty amount stated for any period
covered by the inspection is established in the course of such inspection,
whereupon all costs relating to the inspection for such period and any unpaid
amounts (plus interest) that are discovered will be paid promptly by P&U.

and to any and all Joint Inventions and Patents and other intellectual property
rights claiming or covering or appurtenant to such Joint Inventions (the "Joint
Patents"), with inventorship to be determined under the patent laws of the
United States. P&U and Exelixis as joint owners each shall have the right to

in this Agreement.

     8.2  Disclosure.  Each Party shall submit a written report to the JPC
within 60 days of the end of each quarter describing any Sole Invention or Joint
Invention arising during the prior quarter in the course of the Collaboration
which it believes may be patentable. The JPC, in consultation with the JMT,
shall decide whether to file a patent application for a Joint Invention, as
discussed in Section 8.3(b).

     8.3   Patent Prosecution and Maintenance; Abandonment.

           (a)  Pre-existing Technologies. Each Party shall retain control over

the patent strategy for all Joint Inventions arising from the Collaboration.
Each Party shall direct the filing, prosecution and maintenance of all Patents
covering its Sole Inventions consistent with such strategy. The JPC shall
supervise and direct the filing, prosecution and maintenance of all Patents
covering Joint Inventions. The JPC shall provide each Party with (i) drafts of
any new patent application that covers a Joint Invention prior to filing that
application, allowing adequate time for review and comment by the Party if
possible; provided, however, the JPC shall not be obligated to delay the filing
of any patent application; and (ii) copies of all correspondence from any and
all patent offices concerning patent applications covering Joint Inventions and
an opportunity to comment on any proposed responses, voluntary amendments and
submissions of any kind to be made to any and all such patent offices. P&U shall
bear the expenses associated with the filing, prosecution (including any
interferences, reissue proceedings and reexaminations) and maintenance of
Patents covering [ * ]. P&U may elect not to pay any such costs and expenses
with respect to a Patent covering [ * ], provided that P&U notifies Exelixis not
less than two months before any relevant deadline. If Exelixis assumes the
expenses associated with the Patent, Exelixis will [ * ].

     8.4   Enforcement of Patent Rights.

           (a)  Except at set forth in this Section 8.4, each Party shall have
the sole right, but not the obligation, to institute, prosecute or control any
action or proceeding with respect to infringement by a Third Party of one or
more issued Patents covering the Party's Pre-existing Technologies.

           (b)  At any time during the Research Term, if either Party becomes
aware of [ * ] that is performed by a Third Party commercial entity [ * ] and
that appears to utilize [ * ], such Party shall inform the other Party in
writing within thirty (30) days after having knowledge of such research.
Following consultation within thirty (30) days of such notice, the following
conditions shall apply:

                 (i)  If the [ * ] is being performed [ * ], neither Party shall
have any obligation to take any action with respect to such research. If either
Party believes it has a basis for a suit against such Third Party arising from
such research, it may proceed on its own accord and at its sole expense.

                 (ii) [ * ] Exelixis shall retain the right to grant sublicenses
[ * ] under the [ * ] technology owned or Controlled by it under the following
circumstances:

                      (1)  No single sublicensee shall be entitled to have more
than [ * ] persons at any time (measured on an FTE basis) performing [ * ]
within [ * ];

                      (2)  Each such sublicense shall prohibit the sublicensee
from performing [ * ];

                      (3)  Exelixis shall not initiate any new discussions with
any Third Party regarding a sublicense [ * ] until [ * ] after the Effective

                      (4)  Exelixis may grant a sublicense [ * ] to the Third
Party with which Exelixis entered negotiations for a sublicense prior to the
Effective Date, provided such sublicensee would not thereby be permitted to
conduct [ * ] until at least [ * ] after the Effective Date; and

                      (5)  Prior to the grant by Exelixis of any sublicense that
fulfills the criteria set forth in Section 8.4(b)(ii)(1)-(4), Exelixis shall
inform the JMT of its intent to grant such a sublicense, provided that Exelixis
shall not be required to identify the intended sublicensee and that the JMT
shall not have any right to interfere with the grant of such a sublicense by
Exelixis.

Following [ * ], Exelixis may freely grant sublicenses for [ * ].

                 (iii)  If the [ * ] in question is being performed [ * ], then
Exelixis, if requested by P&U, shall [ * ] use Diligent Efforts to stop the
conduct of such [ * ] including, if necessary, the commencement and prosecution
of litigation against [ * ] in accordance with the applicable Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure. Litigation commenced under this Section 8.4(b)(iii) shall be [
* ], provided that [ * ]. Any recovery from such litigation shall be applied
first to reimburse each Party for its out-of-pocket costs of the litigation, and
the balance shall be [ * ]. Following consultation with P&U, Exelixis may end
such litigation at any time but Exelixis shall not consent to a settlement of
such dispute in a manner that permits [ * ], without the consent of P&U, except
for the grant of a license permitted under Section 8.4(b)(ii). This Section
8.4(b)(iii) shall expire [ * ], at which point Exelixis shall have exclusive
control over any litigation that previously commenced pursuant to this Section
8.4(b)(iii).

                 (iv) If the [ * ] in question is being performed [ * ], then
Exelixis, upon written request by P&U, shall [ * ], use Diligent Efforts to stop
the conduct of such commercial research within the Fields and, if necessary and
requested in writing by P&U, shall bring litigation in accordance with the
applicable Federal Rules of Civil Procedure against such Third Party to stop the
[ * ]. Such litigation shall be managed by Exelixis using outside counsel
approved by P&U. Prior to the initiation of a litigation under this Section
8.4(b)(iv), the Parties must agree to a budget for such litigation that the
outside counsel selected as lead counsel deems a reasonable budget. [ * ]
responsible for all expenses incurred during such litigation (including
reimbursement of [ * ] within 30 days after submission of each invoice together
with reasonable supporting documentation) not in excess of such budget. If [ * ]
becomes aware at any time that the litigation expenses are likely to exceed such
budget, it shall notify [ * ] and provide [ * ] with the opportunity to approve

be [ * ]. P&U shall also indemnify and hold harmless Exelixis for any costs or
losses arising from claims brought against it by the Third Party in the course

Exelixis had been aware of a factual basis for counterclaims from the Third
Party which it had failed to bring to the attention of P&U prior to the
commencement of the suit. Exelixis shall have the right to be represented by
counsel of its choice and to control its defense of such claims. If Exelixis
continues a litigation initiated under this Section 8.4(b)(iv) despite
instructions from P&U to end

such litigation, then, provided the Third Party in such litigation did not
refuse to sign a mutual release in which no party to the litigation was required
to provide another party with monetary or other compensation, Exelixis shall
indemnify and hold harmless P&U for any costs or losses arising from claims
brought against it by the defendant(s) in the course of such litigation and any
recovery from such litigation shall be for the sole benefit of Exelixis.

                 (v)  As used above, a [ * ] shall mean a [ * ]. This Section
8.4(b) shall have no effect with respect to research being conducted by non-
commercial entities, or being conducted solely [ * ], or being conducted [ * ].
Any litigation to enforce patents Controlled by Exelixis by reason of license
agreements shall be subject to the terms and conditions of such license
agreements, including without limitation rights of the licensor to conduct or to
consent to such litigation.

           (c)  If any issued Patent covering [ * ] is infringed by Third Party

obligation, to institute, prosecute or control any action or proceeding with
respect to such infringement by counsel of its own choice and P&U shall have the
right to participate in such action and to be represented by counsel of its own
choice. If Exelixis fails to bring an action or proceeding within [ * ] after
having knowledge of that infringement, then P&U shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to bring and control any such action by counsel of its own
choice, and Exelixis shall have the right to participate in such action and to
be represented by counsel of its own choice.

           (d)  If either Party becomes aware of any Third Party activity that
infringes an issued Patent covering [ * ], then that Party shall give prompt
written notice to the other Party within thirty (30) days after having knowledge
of such infringement. P&U shall have the primary right, but not the obligation,
to institute, prosecute or control any action or proceeding with respect to such
infringement by counsel of its own choice and Exelixis shall have the right to
participate in such action and to be represented by counsel of its own choice.
If P&U fails to bring an action or proceeding within a period of [ * ] after
such notice, then Exelixis shall have the right, but not the obligation, to

have the right to participate in such action and to be represented by counsel of
its own choice.

           (e)  If either Party brings any such action or proceeding hereunder,
the other Party agrees to be joined as a party plaintiff and to give the first
Party reasonable assistance and authority to control, file and prosecute the
suit as necessary. Except [ * ], each Party shall bear its own costs and
expenses for any action or proceeding brought under this Section 8.4. Any
damages or other monetary awards recovered shall be applied first to reimburse
the reasonable costs and expenses of the Parties in connection with such
litigation, and except [ * ], the balance shall be retained by the Party which
controlled the litigation. No settlement or consent judgment or other voluntary
final disposition of a suit under Section 8.4(c) or 8.4(d) may be entered into
without the [ * ].

      8.5  Defense of Third Party Claims.

           (a)  If a claim is brought by a Third Party that any activity related
to the Collaboration or a Product infringes the intellectual property rights of
such Third Party, each

COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.

                                      22.
<PAGE>

Party will give prompt written notice to the other Party of such claim. If the
Third Party claim arises from Exelixis' activities under the Collaboration,
Exelixis shall control and bear the expense of its own defense and, except as
set forth in Section 8.5(b), Exelixis shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless
P&U, which shall include costs or judgments whether for money or equitable
relief, and reasonable legal expenses and reasonable attorney's fees. Exelixis
shall not enter into a settlement agreement with such Third Party without the
written consent of P&U, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Third
Party claim arises from P&U's activities under the Agreement or from a Product,
P&U shall control and bear the expense of its own defense and P&U shall defend,
indemnify and hold harmless Exelixis, which shall include costs or judgments
whether for money or equitable relief, and reasonable legal expenses and
reasonable attorney's fees. P&U shall not enter into a settlement agreement with
such Third Party without the written consent of Exelixis, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

           (b)  The indemnity obligation of Exelixis under Section 8.5(a)
shall not apply to alleged infringement of Third Party technology rights by
Exelixis in the course of performing work under this Agreement where (i) prior
to the conduct of such work Exelixis submitted to the JMT a written description
of the Third Party technology in question and the work that Exelixis proposed to
conduct, (ii) the JMT approved Exelixis' conduct of such work, and (iii) the
alleged infringement arose by reason of such work. In such case, each Party
shall be responsible for its own defense of such Third Party claims, at its own
expense and without indemnification by the other Party. In any event, neither
Party shall be required to conduct any work under this Agreement which it
believes may infringe Third Party rights. In the event Third Party rights
effectively prevent Exelisis from carrying out the Research Programs in a
practical manner, P&U shall have the right to terminate the Research Term
pursuant to Section 3.2(e). In the event the Third Party claim arises from the
manufacture, sale or use of a Product by P&U or its licensee, the indemnity
obligations of P&U under Section 8.5(a) shall apply, and Exelixis shall not have
any indemnity obligation to P&U in respect of such claims.

9.   CONFIDENTIALITY

     9.1   Nondisclosure of Confidential Information. All Information disclosed
by one Party to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be
"Confidential Information." The Parties agree that during the term of this
Agreement, and for a period of five years after this Agreement expires or
terminates, a Party receiving Confidential Information of the other Party will
(i) maintain in confidence such Confidential Information to the same extent such
Party maintains its own proprietary industrial information of similar kind and
value (but at a minimum each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts),
(ii) not disclose such Confidential Information to any Third Party without prior
written consent of the other Party, except for disclosures made in confidence to
any Third Party pursuant to Third Party Contract Research or other arrangements
approved by the JMT, and (iii) not use such Confidential Information for any
purpose except those permitted by this Agreement.

     9.2   Exceptions.  The obligations in Section 9.1 shall not apply with

COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.

                                      23.
<PAGE>

           (b)  Was known to the receiving Party, without obligation to keep it
confidential, prior to disclosure by the disclosing Party; or

           (c)  Is subsequently disclosed to the receiving Party by a Third
Party lawfully in possession thereof and without obligation to keep it
confidential; or

           (d)  Has been published by a Third Party; or

           (e)  Has been independently developed by the receiving Party without
the aid, application or use of Confidential Information.

     9.3   Authorized Disclosure.  A Party may disclose the Confidential
Information belonging to the other Party to the extent such disclosure is
reasonably necessary in the following instances:

           (a)  Filing or prosecuting Patents relating to Sole Inventions, Joint
Inventions or Products;

           (b)  Regulatory filings;

           (c)  Prosecuting or defending litigation;

           (d)  Complying with applicable governmental regulations; and

           (e)  Disclosure, in connection with the performance of this
Agreement, to Affiliates, sublicensees, research collaborators, employees,
consultants, or agents, each of whom prior to disclosure must be bound by
similar obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least equivalent in scope
to those set forth in this Article 9.

The Parties acknowledge that the terms of this Agreement shall be treated as
Confidential Information of both Parties.  Such terms may be disclosed by a
Party to investment bankers, investors, and potential investors, each of whom
prior to disclosure must be bound by similar obligations of confidentiality and
non-use at least equivalent in scope to those set forth in this Article 9.  In
addition, a copy of this Agreement may be filed by Exelixis with the Securities
and Exchange Commission in connection with any public offering of Exelixis
securities.  In connection with any such filing, Exelixis shall endeavor to
obtain confidential treatment of economic and trade secret information.

In any event, the Parties agree to take all reasonable action to avoid
disclosure of Confidential Information except as permitted hereunder.

     9.4   Termination of Prior Agreements.  This Agreement supersedes the
Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement between Exelixis and P&U dated October 8, 1997
and the Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement between Exelixis and Pharmacia & Upjohn,
Inc. dated July 15, 1998. All Information exchanged between the Parties under
those earlier Agreements shall be deemed Confidential Information and shall be
subject to the terms of this Article 9 and shall be included within the
definition of Pre-existing Technologies.

     9.5   Publicity. The Parties agree that the public announcement of the
execution of this Agreement shall be substantially in the form of the press
release attached as Exhibit C. Any other publication, news release or other
public announcement relating to this Agreement or to the performance hereunder,
shall first be reviewed and approved by both Parties; provided, however, that
any disclosure which is required by law as advised by the disclosing Party's
counsel may be made without the prior consent of the other Party, although the
other Party shall be given prompt notice of any such legally required disclosure
and to the extent practicable shall provide the other Party an opportunity to
comment on the proposed disclosure.

     9.6   Publications.  Neither Party shall publish or present the results of
studies carried out under this Agreement without the opportunity for prior
review by the other Party. Subject to Section 9.3, each Party agrees to provide
the other Party the opportunity to review any proposed abstracts, manuscripts or
presentations (including verbal presentations) which relate to any Selected
Target or Product at least 30 days prior to its intended submission for
publication and agrees, upon request, not to submit any such abstract or
manuscript for publication until the other Party is given a reasonable period of
time to secure patent protection for any material in such publication which it
believes to be patentable. Both Parties understand that a reasonable commercial
strategy may require delay of publication of information or filing of patent
applications. The Parties agree to review and consider delay of publication and
filing of patent applications under certain circumstances. The JPC will review
such requests and recommend subsequent action. Neither Party shall have the
right to publish or present Confidential Information of the other Party which is
subject to Section 9.1. Nothing contained in this Section 9.6 shall prohibit the
inclusion of information necessary for a patent application, except for
Confidential Information of the nonfiling Party, provided the nonfiling Party is
given a reasonable opportunity to review the information to be included prior to
submission of such patent application. Any disputes between the Parties
regarding delaying a publication or presentation to permit the filing of a
patent application shall be referred to the JMT.

10.  TERM AND TERMINATION

     10.1  Term.  This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date
and shall remain in effect until the earlier of: (i) the time, not prior to the
expiration of the Research Term, at which there are no Selected Targets and (ii)
the expiration of the last royalty payment obligation with respect to any
Product, as provided in Section 7.7. Termination of the Research Term shall not
constitute termination of this Agreement unless no Selected Targets then exist.

     10.2  Termination for Material Breach.

           (a)   If either Party believes that the other is in material breach
of this Agreement (including without limitation any material breach of a
representation or warranty made in this Agreement), then the non-breaching Party
may deliver notice of such breach to the other Party. In such notice the non-
breaching Party shall identify the actions or conduct that such Party would
consider to be an acceptable cure of such breach. The allegedly breaching Party
shall have [ * ] to either cure such breach or, if cure cannot be reasonably
effected within such [ * ] period, to deliver to the other Party a plan for
curing such breach which is reasonably sufficient to effect a cure. Such a plan
shall set forth a program for achieving cure as rapidly as


[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY
BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.

                                      25.
<PAGE>

practicable. Following delivery of such plan, the breaching Party shall use
Diligent Efforts to carry out the plan and cure the breach.

           (b)  If the Party receiving notice of breach fails to cure such
breach within the [ * ] period, or the Party providing the notice reasonably
determines that the proposed corrective plan or the actions being taken to carry
it out is not commercially practicable, the Party originally delivering the
notice may declare a breach hereunder upon [ * ] advance written notice.

           (c)  If a Party gives notice of termination under this Section 10.2
and the other Party disputes whether such notice was proper, then the issue of
whether this Agreement has been terminated shall be resolved in accordance with
Section 13.2. If as a result of such dispute resolution process it is determined
that the notice of termination was proper, then such termination shall be deemed
to have been effective [ * ] following the date of the notice of termination. If
as a result of such dispute resolution process it is determined that the notice
of termination was improper, then no termination shall have occurred and this
Agreement shall have remained in effect.

     10.3  Effect of Termination; Survival.

           (a)  In the event of termination of this Agreement for any reason
other than material breach pursuant to Section 10.2, the following provisions of

11.  REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS

     11.1  Mutual Authority.  Exelixis and P&U each represents and warrants to
the other that (i) it has the authority and right to enter into and perform this
Agreement and (ii) its execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
will not conflict in any material fashion with the terms of any other agreement
to which it is or becomes a party or by which it is or becomes bound. Exelixis
represents and warrants that [ * ].

Agreement, each Party will use Diligent Efforts not to diminish the rights under
its Pre-existing Technologies, Sole Inventions or Joint Inventions granted to
each other herein, including without limitation by not committing or permitting
any acts or omissions which would cause the breach of any agreements between
itself and Third Parties which provide for intellectual property rights
applicable to the development, manufacture, use or sale of Products. Each Party
agrees to provide promptly the other Party with notice of any such alleged
breach. As of the Effective Date, each Party is in compliance in all material
respects with any aforementioned agreements with Third Parties.

     11.3  Performance by Affiliates.  The Parties recognize that each may
perform some or all of its obligations under this Agreement through Affiliates,
provided, however, that each Party shall remain responsible and be guarantor of
the performance by its Affiliates and shall cause its Affiliates to comply with
the provisions of this Agreement in connection with such performance. In
particular, if any Affiliate of a Party participates in research under this
Agreement or with respect to Collaboration Compounds, (i) the restrictions of
this Agreement which apply to the activities of a Party with respect to Selected
Targets and Collaboration Compounds shall apply equally to the activities of
such Affiliate, and (ii) the Party affiliated with such Affiliate shall assure,
and hereby guarantees, that any intellectual property developed by such
Affiliate shall be governed by the provisions of this Agreement (and subject to
the licenses set forth in Article 5) as if such intellectual property had been
developed by the Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, [ * ] shall not apply to
Artemis Pharmaceuticals GmbH ("Artemis"). Prior to the performance of any work
under the Collaboration by Artemis, Exelixis shall enter into a license
agreement with Artemis providing for P&U to receive rights under resulting
Artemis discoveries consistent with the terms of this Agreement, which license
agreement shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to P&U.

     11.4  [ * ]. Except as disclosed to P&U, Exelixis represents and warrants
that, [ * ].

     11.5  [ * ]. Exelixis represents and warrants that, [ * ].

12.  INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

     12.1  Indemnification.

           (a)  P&U hereby agrees to defend and hold harmless Exelixis and its
agents and employees from and against any and all suits, claims, actions,
demands, liabilities, expenses and/or loss, including reasonable legal expenses
and reasonable attorneys' fees ("Losses") resulting directly or indirectly from
the manufacture, use, handling, storage, sale or other disposition of chemical
agents, Selected Targets, Collaboration Compounds or Products by P&U or its
Affiliates, agents or sublicensees except to the extent such Losses result from
the negligence or wrongdoing of Exelixis.

           (b)  In the event that Exelixis is seeking indemnification under
Section 12.1(a), it shall inform P&U of a claim as soon as reasonably
practicable after it receives notice of the claim, shall permit P&U to assume
direction and control of the defense of the claim (including the right to settle
the claim solely for monetary consideration), and shall cooperate as requested
by P&U (at the expense of P&U) in the defense of the claim.

     12.2  Limitation of Liability.  EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN SECTION
12.1, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS
OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED UPON A CLAIM OR
ACTION OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER TORT, OR
OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT. For clarification, the foregoing
sentence shall not be interpreted to limit or to expand the express rights
specifically granted in the sections of this Agreement.

13.  MISCELLANEOUS

     13.1  Effective Date. This Agreement shall become effective upon the
closing of the purchase by P&U of (i) 2,500,000 shares of Exelixis Series D
Preferred Stock pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement and (ii) a $7.5 million
promissory note pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement. The date on which this
Agreement becomes effective under this Section 13.1 shall be the "Effective
Date." If for any reason such closings do not occur on or before March 1, 1999,
then this Agreement shall become automatically null and void, and shall have no
further force or effect, without any further action by either Party.

     13.2  Dispute Resolution.  In the event of any controversy or claim arising
out of, relating to or in connection with any provision of this Agreement, other
than a dispute addressed in Section 2.6 or Section 13.4, the Parties shall try
to settle their differences amicably between themselves first, by referring the
disputed matter to the respective heads of research of each Party and, if not
resolved by the research heads, by referring the disputed matter to the
respective Chief Executive Officers of each Party. Either Party may initiate
such informal dispute resolution by sending written notice of the dispute to the
other Party, and, within 20 days after such notice, such representatives of the
Parties shall meet for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations. If such
personnel are unable to resolve such dispute within 30 days of their first
meeting of such negotiations, either Party may seek to have such dispute
resolved in any United States federal court of competent jurisdiction and
appropriate venue. The Parties hereby consent to jurisdiction in the United
States federal courts. If, notwithstanding such consent, United States federal
courts would not have proper jurisdiction over a dispute, then such dispute may
be submitted to any state court in the United States with proper jurisdiction
and venue. The Parties agree that, except as provided in Section 13.4, any
dispute under this Agreement shall be submitted exclusively to a state or
federal court in the United States.

     13.3  Governing Law.  Resolution of all disputes arising out of or related
to this Agreement or the performance, enforcement, breach or termination of this
Agreement and any remedies relating thereto, shall be governed by and construed
under the substantive laws of the State of Delaware, as applied to agreements
executed and performed entirely in the State of Delaware by residents of the
State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of law rules.

     13.4  Patents and Trademarks.  Any dispute, controversy or claim relating
to the scope, validity, enforceability or infringement of any Patent rights
covering the manufacture, use or sale of any Product or of any trademark rights
related to any Product shall be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction
in the territory in which such Patent or trademark rights were granted or arose.

     13.5  Entire Agreement; Amendment.  This Agreement sets forth the complete,
final and exclusive agreement and all the covenants, promises, agreements,
warranties, representations, conditions and understandings between the Parties
hereto and supersedes and terminates all prior agreements and understandings
between the Parties. There are no covenants, promises, agreements, warranties,
representations, conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between
the Parties other than as are set forth herein and therein. No subsequent
alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Agreement shall be binding
upon the Parties unless reduced to writing and signed by an authorized officer
of each Party.

     13.6  Export Control.  This Agreement is made subject to any restrictions
concerning the export of products or technical information from the United
States of America or other countries which may be imposed upon or related to
Exelixis or P&U from time to time. Each Party agrees that it will not export,
directly or indirectly, any technical information acquired from the other Party
under this Agreement or any products using such technical information to a
location or in a manner that at the time of export requires an export license or
other governmental approval, without first obtaining the written consent to do
so from the appropriate agency or other governmental entity.

     13.7  Bankruptcy.

           (a)  All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this
Agreement, including amendments hereto, by each Party to the other Party are,
for all purposes of Section 365(n) of Title 11 of the U.S. Code ("Title 11"),
licenses of rights to intellectual property as defined in Title 11. Each Party
agrees during the term of this Agreement to create and maintain current copies
or, if not amenable to copying, detailed descriptions or other appropriate
embodiments, to the extent feasible, of all such intellectual property. If a
case is commenced by or against either Party (the "Bankrupt Party") under Title
11, then, unless and until this Agreement is rejected as provided in Title 11,
the Bankrupt Party (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its
successors and assigns (including, without limitation, a Title 11 Trustee)
shall, at the election of the Bankrupt Party made within 60 days after the
commencement of the case (or, if no such election is made, immediately upon the
request of the non-Bankrupt Party) either (i) perform all of the obligations
provided in this Agreement to be performed by the Bankrupt Party including,
where applicable and without limitation, providing to the non-Bankrupt Party
portions of such intellectual property (including embodiments thereof) held by
the Bankrupt Party and such successors and assigns or otherwise available to
them or (ii) provide to the non-Bankrupt Party all such intellectual property
(including all embodiments thereof) held by the Bankrupt Party and such
successors and assigns or otherwise available to them.

           (b)  If a Title 11 case is commenced by or against the Bankrupt Party
and this Agreement is rejected as provided in Title 11 and the non-Bankrupt
Party elects to retain its rights hereunder as provided in Title 11, then the
Bankrupt Party (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its
successors and assigns (including, without limitations, a Title 11 Trustee)
shall provide to the non-Bankrupt Party all such intellectual property
(including all embodiments thereof) held by the Bankrupt Party and such
successors and assigns or otherwise available to them immediately upon the non-
Bankrupt Party's written request therefor. Whenever the Bankrupt Party or any of
its successors or assigns provides to the non-Bankrupt

<PAGE>

Party any of the intellectual property licensed hereunder (or any embodiment
thereof) pursuant to this Section 13.7, the non-Bankrupt Party shall have the
right to perform the obligations of the Bankrupt Party hereunder with respect to
such intellectual property, but neither such provision nor such performance by
the non-Bankrupt Party shall release the Bankrupt Party from any such obligation
or liability for failing to perform it.

           (c)  All rights, powers and remedies of the non-Bankrupt Party
provided herein are in addition to and not in substitution for any and all other
rights, powers and remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity
(including, without limitation, Title 11) in the event of the commencement of a
Title 11 case by or against the Bankrupt Party. The non-Bankrupt Party, in
addition to the rights, power and remedies expressly provided herein, shall be
entitled to exercise all other such rights and powers and resort to all other
such remedies as may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity (including,
without limitation, under Title 11) in such event. The Parties agree that they
intend the foregoing non-Bankrupt Party rights to extend to the maximum extent
permitted by law and any provisions of applicable contracts with Third Parties,
including without limitation for purposes of Title 11, (i) the right of access
to any intellectual property (including all embodiments thereof) of the Bankrupt
Party or any Third Party with whom the Bankrupt Party contracts to perform an
obligation of the Bankrupt Party under this Agreement, and, in the case of the
Third Party, which is necessary for the development, registration and
manufacture of licensed products and (ii) the right to contract directly with
any Third Party described in (i) in this sentence to complete the contracted
work. Any intellectual property provided pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 13.7 shall be subject to the licenses set forth elsewhere in this
Agreement and the payment obligations of this Agreement, which shall be deemed
to be royalties for purposes of Title 11.

     13.8  Force Majeure.  Both Parties shall be excused from the performance of
their obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such performance is
prevented by force majeure and the nonperforming Party promptly provides notice
of the prevention to the other Party. Such excuse shall be continued so long as
the condition constituting force majeure continues and the nonperforming Party
takes reasonable efforts to remove the condition. For purposes of this
Agreement, force majeure shall include conditions beyond the control of the
Parties, including without limitation, an act of God, voluntary or involuntary
compliance with any regulation, law or order of any government, war, civil
commotion, labor strike or lock-out, epidemic, failure or default of public
utilities or common carriers, destruction of production facilities or materials
by fire, earthquake, storm or like catastrophe; provided, however, the payment
of invoices due and owing hereunder shall not be delayed by the payer because of
a force majeure affecting the payer.

     13.9  Notices.  Any notice required or permitted to be given under this
Agreement shall be in writing, shall specifically refer to this Agreement and
shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given for all purposes if mailed by
first class certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, express delivery
service or personally delivered. Unless otherwise specified in writing, the
mailing addresses of the Parties shall be as described below.

                                                                  DRAFT- 2/23/99

  EXELIXIS PHARMACEUTICALS AND PHARMACIA & UPJOHN FORM RESEARCH COLLABORATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Collaborative Research Agreement to Focus on the Identification of Novel Targets
in the Areas of Alzheimer's Disease and Metabolic Syndrome.

South San Francisco, CA and Bridgewater, NJ, February 24, 1999 - Exelixis
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Pharmacia & Upjohn, Inc. announced today the signing
of a five-year research collaboration focused on the identification of novel
targets for small molecule therapeutics in the areas of Alzheimer's disease and
Metabolic Syndrome, including diabetes and obesity.

Exelixis will utilize its proprietary PathFinder(TM) Technology coupled with
genomic and computational biology technologies to identify and validate novel
targets for drug discovery. It is anticipated that Exelixis' affiliate, Artemis
Pharmaceuticals GmbH, will also participate in the collaboration.

"This collaboration with P&U is our first in what we anticipate will be a series
of relationships with major pharmaceutical companies," said George Scangos,
Ph.D. President and Chief Executive Officer of Exelixis. "Pharmacia & Upjohn's
investment in the broad-based technology platform and intellectual capital
provided by Exelixis is an endorsement of our ability to focus the power of
genetics and genomics towards the acceleration of drug discovery."

Added Geoffrey Duyk, M.D., Ph.D. Chief Scientific Officer at Exelixis: :"Genetic
tools offer the most definitive biological test of the therapeutic potential of
modulating the activity of a candidate target. Targets selected on this basis
will increase the likelihood that compounds directed against the target will
result in an effective new therapeutic agent."

"The ability to efficiently and accurately identify controlling genes in disease
and physiologic pathways is a critical success factor in drug discovery," said
Goran Ando, M.D., Executive Vice President and President of Research and
Development at Pharmacia & Upjohn "Exelixis is well qualified to complement
Pharmacia & Upjohn drug discovery expertise in this regard."

Under the terms of the agreement, Exelixis will receive substantial committed
funding in the form of research support, upfront payment and equity during the
initial five-year term. Exelixis also will potentially receive milestone
payments, as well as royalties based on the future sales of products arising
from the collaboration. A portion of Pharmacia & Upjohn's equity investment in
Exelixis will be made after Exelixis' Initial Public Offering. Financial details
of the agreement were not disclosed.
