                              LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR
               INSTALLING NOVEL FUNCTIONAL GROUPS FOR THERAPEUTICS

This license agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into by The Regents of the
University of California, Department of Energy contract-operators of the Ernest
Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, 1 Cyclotron Road, Berkeley, CA
94720, ("Berkeley Lab"), and Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Licensee") having
its principal place of business at 43 MoultonStreet, Cambridge, MA 02138.

                                  1. BACKGROUND

1.1.    Certain inventions, generally characterized as Methods For Installing
        Novel Functional Groups On Cells And Cellular Products And Applications
        Thereof, as described in Berkeley Lab case [**], (the "Invention"), were
        made in the course of research at Berkeley Lab under Berkeley Lab's
        contract with the United States Department of Energy ("DOE").

1.2.    As DOE sponsored development of the Invention, this Agreement and the
        resulting license are subject to overriding obligations to the federal
        government pursuant to the provisions of the applicable law or
        regulations.

1.3.    Berkeley Lab wants the Invention developed and used to the fullest
        extent so that the general public enjoys the benefits of the
        government-sponsored research.

1.4.    Licensee wants to obtain certain rights from Berkeley Lab for the
        commercial development, manufacture, use, and sale of the Invention.

1.5.    Licensee is a "small business concern" as defined at Section 2 of Public
        Law 85-536 (15 U.S.C. 632).


Therefore the parties agree as follows:

                                 2. DEFINITIONS

2.1.    "Affiliate" means any legal entity that is controlled by Licensee. For
        the purposes of this definition, the term "control" means (i) beneficial
        ownership of at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of a
        corporation or other entity with voting securities or (ii) a fifty
        percent (50%) or greater interest in the net assets or profits of a
        partnership or other entity without voting securities.

2.2.    "Broader Field" means the synthesis, production or modification of
        sugars and glycoconjugates in or on biological molecules for research,
        development and commercialization of human therapeutic applications.

2.3.    "Effective Date" means the date of execution by the last signing party.

2.4.    "Field Election Date" means the second anniversary of the Effective
        Date.

                                     1 of 25

                                                                       L-03-1370

2.5.    "Field of Use" means the Broader Field for two years from the Effective
        Date, and thereafter means the Specific Applications Field; provided,
        however, if Licensee extends its rights in accordance with paragraph
        3.3, "Field of Use" shall mean the Broader Field for the life of this
        Agreement. In either case, the Field of Use specifically excludes
        application of Licensed Patents to sale of reagents for life sciences
        research purposes (the "Excluded Field"). Licensee acknowledges that the
        Invention is licensed to a third party in that Excluded Field, and that
        the Field of Use shall not be interpreted to include any part of the
        Excluded Field.

2.6.    "Highly Inflationary Currency" means the currency of any economy with a
        cumulative inflation rate of 100% or more over the most recent three
        calendar years, as measured by consumer price indices published by the
        International Monetary Fund (International Financial Statistics),
        Washington, D.C.

2.7.    "Licensed Patents" means the following:

        2.7.1.  US Patent Number 6,458,937, issued October 1, 2002, entitled
                Glycoconjugates and Methods, by Carolyn Bertozzi, Kevin J.
                Yarema, and Lara K. Mahal (Berkeley Lab case number IB-1222A);

        2.7.2.  US Patent Number 6,075,134, issued June 13, 2000, entitled,
                Glycoconjugates and Methods, By Carolyn Bertozzi, Kevin J.
                Yarema, and Lara K. Mahal (Berkeley Lab case number IB-1222);

        2.7.3.  US Patent Application Serial Number [**], entitled [**];

        2.7.4.  with respect to paragraphs 2.7.1 to 2.7.3, any corresponding
                foreign patent application or patent for which Licensee has met
                the requirements of paragraph 17.3;

        2.7.5.  any division, reexamination, continuation, continuation-in-part
                (excluding new matter contained and claimed in that
                continuation-in-part), or other application that is a successor
                to any of the foregoing applications; and

        2.7.6.  any patents issuing on any of the foregoing; and all renewals,
                reissues and extensions thereof.

2.8.    "Licensed Product" means any product, service or process that employs or
        is produced by the practice of any invention claimed in Licensed Patents
        or whose manufacture, use, practice, sale, offer for sale, or
        importation would constitute, but for the license Berkeley Lab grants to
        Licensee under this Agreement, an infringement of any Valid Claim in
        Licensed Patents in the country where such manufacture, use, practice,
        sale, offer for sale, or importation occurs.

2.9.    "Related Research Funding" means payments received by Licensee as
        reimbursement for research and development expenditures made or to be
        made by Licensee for an invention claimed in a Licensed Patent where
        such payments cover solely the actual costs of raw materials and labor,
        plus direct and indirect costs up to a maximum of [**]% ([**] percent)
        of the actual costs of raw materials and labor for such research.

2.10.   "Selling Price" for the purpose of computing royalties means the price
        received by Licensee, its Affiliate or its sublicensee for the sale of
        the Licensed Product in an arms-

                                     2 of 25

                                                                       L-03-1370

        length transaction, less the following: (a) allowances and adjustments
        actually credited or allowed to customers; (b) trade, quantity, cash and
        prompt payment discounts actually allowed and taken; (c) taxes levied on
        and/or other governmental charges imposed as to production, sales,
        transportation, delivery or use and paid or collected by or on behalf of
        Licensee; (d) costs of insurance, packing, and transportation from the
        place of manufacture to the customer's premises or point of
        installation; provided, however, that the costs described in clauses (c)
        and (d) may only be deducted from the Selling Price if, and to the
        extent that, they are separately identified in invoices. When a Licensed
        Product is not sold, but is otherwise disposed of, the Selling Price of
        that Licensed Product for the purposes of computing royalties is the
        selling price at which products of similar kind and quality, sold in
        similar quantities, are currently being offered for sale in arms-length
        transactions by Licensee. When such products are not currently being
        offered for sale by Licensee, the Selling Price of a Licensed Product
        otherwise disposed of, for the purpose of computing royalties, is the
        average selling price at which products of similar kind and quality,
        sold in similar quantities, are then currently being offered for sale by
        other manufacturers. When such products are not currently sold or
        offered for sale by Licensee or others, then the Selling Price, for the
        purpose of computing royalties, shall be negotiated by the parties in
        good faith based on the fair market value of the Licensed Product. Sales
        or other dispositions of Licensed Products between or among Licensee and
        any of its Affiliates or sublicensees for the purpose of subsequent
        resale to third parties ("Customers") shall not be included in the
        calculation of the Selling Price.

2.11.   "Specific Applications Field" means the synthesis, production or
        modification of sugars and glycoconjugates in or on biological molecules
        for research, development and commercialization of human therapeutic
        applications solely within the three specific therapeutic applications
        that are negotiated by the parties in accordance with paragraph 3.4.

2.12.   "Valid Claim" means a claim of any (1) issued patent in any country that
        (i) has not expired; (ii) Berkeley Lab has not disclaimed; (iii) has not
        been cancelled or superseded without reinstatement; and (iv) has not
        been revoked, held invalid, or otherwise declared unenforceable or not
        allowable by a governmental tribunal or patent authority of competent
        jurisdiction over such claim in such country from which no further
        appeal has or may be taken or (2) any United States patent application
        that has not been pending for more than five years or (3) any foreign
        patent application that has not been pending for more than seven years.

                                3. LICENSE GRANT

3.1.    Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, Berkeley Lab
        grants to Licensee a nontransferable, limited (by the terms of
        paragraphs 3.5 and 3.6), exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license,
        under Licensed Patents, only in the Field of Use, to make and have made,
        use and have used, offer and have offered for sale, sell and have sold,
        and import and have imported Licensed Products.

3.2.    Licensee's rights from the Effective Date until the Field Election Date
        are solely within the Broader Field.

                                     3 of 25
<Page>

                                                                       L-03-1370

3.3.    Licensee may extend its rights to the Broader Field for the remainder of
        the term of this Agreement if it satisfies the following conditions by
        the Field Election Date: (1) reasonably demonstrates to Berkeley Lab
        that it has achieved the diligence milestones listed in Exhibit A; and
        (2) agrees to pay the election fee of $[**], which accrues on the Field
        Election Date, and pays the first installment in the amount of $[**] by
        the Field Election Date. The remaining two installments of $[**] are
        payable six months after the Field Election Date and twelve months after
        the Field Election Date, respectively. The election fee is
        non-refundable and is not an advance against royalties.

3.4.    If Licensee does not meet the requirements of paragraph 3.3, the Field
        of Use shall be narrowed as of the Field Election Date to cover three
        specific therapeutic applications. Licensee shall select the three
        specific applications from the list on Exhibit B, and shall send written
        notice of its selection to Berkeley Lab on or before the Field Election
        Date. The parties shall promptly negotiate in good faith to arrive,
        within 45 days of the Field Election Date, at mutually agreed on written
        definitions of the three selected therapeutic fields. Such definitions
        shall delineate with better specificity the applications described on
        Exhibit B and, so as to enable separate exclusive licensing, be
        sufficiently detailed as to be distinct from the non-elected therapeutic
        fields described on Exhibit B and other fields of use. Thereafter, the
        Field of Use will be the Specific Applications Field.

3.5.    Any license under this Agreement is subject to the following: (a) DOE's
        non-exclusive, royalty-free license for federal government purposes
        only, and (b) DOE's option to grant licenses either if reasonable steps
        to commercialize the Invention are not carried out or in order to meet
        federal regulations.

3.6.    Berkeley Lab expressly reserves the right to make and use the Invention
        and associated technology, and to allow other educational and non-profit
        institutions to do so, for noncommercial research and educational
        purposes. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement may
        be deemed to limit the right of Berkeley Lab to publish any technical
        data resulting from any research performed by Berkeley Lab relating to
        the Invention.

                              4. INFORMATION RIGHTS

4.1.    Unless it is legally prohibited from doing so by statute or regulation
        or contractual agreement with a research sponsor, Berkeley Lab upon
        Licensee's reasonable request shall disclose to Licensee any of its
        then-existing research data, clinical data, technical information and
        other information that is necessary or useful in connection with the
        manufacture, use or sale of any Licensed Product or the effective
        exercise or use of the Licensed Patents and that is reasonably
        accessible to the Berkeley Lab Technology Transfer Department. Licensee
        shall have the non-exclusive, worldwide, no-cost right to use all such
        information.

4.2.    Berkeley Lab shall notify Licensee of any future Berkeley-[**]
        Inventions (as defined below) within a reasonable period of time after
        any such invention is reported to the Berkeley Lab Technology Transfer
        Department, and in any case before Berkeley Lab enters into negotiations
        to license rights to such inventions to third parties. Licensee

                                                                       L-03-1370

        acknowledges that this notification right does NOT require Berkeley Lab
        to license to Licensee any rights to ANY future inventions. For the
        purposes of this paragraph 4.2, "Berkeley-[**] Invention" means any
        patentable invention (or group of inventions so linked as to form a
        single general inventive concept), which (1) may be licensed to third
        parties by the Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory,
        acting on behalf of The Regents of the University of California; and (2)
        was invented by [**], either alone or with others.

                                 5. SUBLICENSING

5.1.    Berkeley Lab also grants to Licensee the right to issue fee-bearing
        (only to the extent specified in paragraphs 7.1 and 7.3) sublicenses
        only in the Field of Use to make and have made, use and have used, offer
        and have offered for sale, sell and have sold, and import and have
        imported Licensed Products, so long as Licensee has current exclusive
        rights in its Field of Use. Licensee may only grant sublicenses that are
        no greater than the Field of Use to which Licensee is entitled. By way
        of illustration, if Licensee grants a sublicense before the Field
        Election Date, and Licensee does not thereafter extend its rights to the
        Broader Field in accordance with paragraph 3.3, then the sublicensee's
        rights after the Field Election Date can be no greater than the Specific
        Applications Field.

5.2.    Licensee shall incorporate terms into any sublicense Licensee grants
        that are sufficient to enable Licensee to comply with this Agreement and
        be consistent with all the rights and obligations due Berkeley Lab and
        the United States Government under this Agreement, including, without
        limitation, the license reserved by the United States Government.

5.3.    Licensee shall provide Berkeley Lab with a copy of each sublicense
        agreement executed under this Agreement. Licensee shall have the right
        to redact terms from the sublicense agreement that are irrelevant to
        this Agreement so long as it is apparent from the document furnished to
        Berkeley Lab that the redactions are irrelevant to this Agreement.

5.4.    If this Agreement terminates for any reason, each sublicense granted by
        the Licensee in accordance with this Agreement shall remain in effect
        subject to the terms of such sublicense and the terms of this Agreement.
        Licensee shall assign each sublicense and Berkeley Lab shall assume it.
        Notwithstanding the foregoing, Berkeley Lab shall not be obligated to
        assume any sublicense that: (1) is in a state of breach as yet uncured
        by the sublicensee or (2) conflicts with state or federal law or
        Berkeley Lab's contract with DOE. Berkeley Lab shall in no event be
        bound by any duties and obligations beyond those duties and obligations
        assumed by Berkeley Lab in this Agreement and shall have all rights
        against such sublicensee as provided with respect to Licensee in this
        Agreement.

                              6. LICENSE ISSUE FEE

6.1.    Licensee shall pay Berkeley Lab a license issue fee of $40,000 (the
        "License Issue Fee"). This License Issue Fee accrues on the Effective
        Date, and Licensee shall pay this License Issue Fee as follows:
        $20,000 within 5 days of the Effective Date, $10,000 by
        February 15, 2003, and $10,000 by August 15, 2003.

                                                                       L-03-1370

6.2.    This License Issue Fee is non-refundable and is not an advance against
        royalties.

                            7. ROYALTIES AND PAYMENTS

7.1.    Licensee shall pay to Berkeley Lab an earned royalty of the Selling
        Price of each Licensed Product that Licensee, its Affiliate(s) or
        sublicensee(s) sells as follows, based on cumulative sales of all
        Licensed Products by Licensee, its Affiliate(s) and its sublicensees
        over the lifetime of this Agreement.

        7.1.1.  [**]% of Selling Price for cumulative sales of Licensed Products
                less than $[**];

        7.1.2.  [**]% of Selling Price for cumulative sales of Licensed Products
                between $[**] and $[**]; and

        7.1.3.  [**]% of Selling Price for cumulative sales of Licensed Products
                greater than $[**].

7.2.    Under this Agreement a Licensed Product is considered as sold when
        invoiced, or if not invoiced, when delivered to a third party Customer.
        But when the last patent covering a Licensed Product expires or when the
        license terminates, any shipment made on or before the day of that
        expiration or termination that has not been billed out before is
        considered as sold (and therefore subject to royalty). Berkeley Lab
        shall credit royalties that Licensee pays on a Licensed Product that the
        Customer does not accept or that the Customer returns.

7.3.    In addition to the payments made under paragraph 7.1, for each
        sublicense, Licensee shall pay Berkeley Lab the following:

        7.3.1.  [**]% of the up-front issue fee (excluding Related Research
                Funding), if any, that it receives from a sublicensee for any
                sublicense of the Licensed Patents;

        7.3.2.  [**]% of the annual maintenance fees (excluding Related Research
                Funding), if any, that it receives from a sublicensee for
                sublicense of the Licensed Patents; and

        7.3.3.  [**]% of milestone fees (excluding Related Research Funding), if
                any, paid to Licensee by a sublicensee; provided that
                achievement of such milestone, absent the license or sublicense,
                would infringe a Valid Claim of the Licensed Patents.

7.4.    Licensee shall pay to Berkeley Lab by August 31 of each year the
        difference between the earned royalties for that calendar year Licensee
        has already paid to Berkeley Lab (pursuant to paragraph 7.1) and the
        minimum annual royalty set forth in the applicable schedule below.
        Berkeley Lab shall credit that minimum annual royalty paid against the
        earned royalty due and owing for the calendar year for which Licensee
        made the minimum payment.

        7.4.1.  If Licensee does not extend its rights to the Broader Field
                beyond the Field Election Date (i.e., Licensee has rights solely
                in the Specific Application Field following the Field Election
                Date), then the minimum annual royalty is as follows:

                beyond the Field Election Date in accordance with paragraph 3.3,
                then minimum annual royalty is as follows:

7.5.    Licensee shall send payment for royalties accruing to Berkeley Lab
        quarterly together with its royalty report under paragraph 9.3.

7.6.    Licensee shall make checks payable to "The Regents of the University of
        California (Berkeley Lab/L-03-1370)." Licensee shall pay Berkeley Lab
        only in United States dollars. If a Licensed Product is sold for
        currency other than United States dollars (not including Highly
        Inflationary Currency), Licensee shall first determine the earned
        royalties in the foreign currency of the country in which the Licensed
        Product was sold and then convert them into equivalent United States
        dollars at the closing exchange rate published by THE WALL STREET
        JOURNAL on the last business day of the reporting period. If a Licensed
        Product is sold for a Highly Inflationary Currency, Licensee shall
        convert the sales subject to royalties into equivalent United States
        funds using the closing exchange rates in effect on the date of
        invoicing (or if no invoicing, of delivery) as published by THE WALL
        STREET JOURNAL. Licensee shall quote the exchange rate in the
        Continental method (local currency per U.S. dollar).

7.7.    Licensee may not reduce royalties payable by any taxes, fees, or other
        charges imposed on the remittance of royalty income. Licensee is also
        responsible for all bank transfer charges.

7.8.    If Licensee cannot promptly remit any royalties for sales in any country
        where a Licensed Product is sold because of legal restrictions, upon
        notice to Berkeley Lab, Licensee may deposit in United States funds
        royalties due Berkeley Lab to Berkeley Lab's account in a bank or other
        depository in that country. If Licensee is not permitted to deposit
        those

        payments in U.S. funds under the laws of that country, Licensee may
        deposit those payments in the local currency to Berkeley Lab's account
        in a bank or other depository in that country.

7.9.    If a court of competent jurisdiction and last resort holds invalid any
        patent or any of the patent claims within a Licensed Patent in a final
        decision from which no appeal has or can be taken, Licensee's obligation
        to pay royalties based on that patent or claim will cease as of the date
        of that final decision. Licensee, however, shall pay any royalties that
        accrued before that decision or that are based on another patent or
        claim not involved in that decision.

7.10.   Licensee has no duty to pay Berkeley Lab royalties under this Agreement
        on a Licensed Product Licensee sells to the United States Government
        including any United States Government agency. Licensee shall reduce the
        amount charged for a Licensed Product sold to the United States
        Government by an amount equal to the royalty otherwise due Berkeley Lab.

                           8. PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

8.1.    Licensee shall, itself or through its Affiliates or sublicensees,
        diligently proceed with the development, manufacture and sale of
        Licensed Products and shall diligently endeavor to market them within a
        reasonable time after the Effective Date in quantities sufficient to
        meet the market demand.

8.2.    Licensee shall make commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all
        necessary governmental approvals for the manufacture, use and sale of
        Licensed Products.

8.3.    If Berkeley Lab determines that Licensee has not met any of the
        diligence milestones listed in Exhibit C, taking into account any
        amendments or extensions pursuant to paragraph 8.4, then Berkeley Lab
        may either renegotiate those milestones in accordance with paragraph
        8.4, terminate this Agreement if the breach is not cured in accordance
        with the cure periods and other conditions of paragraph 12.1, or reduce
        Licensee's limited exclusive license to a nonexclusive license in the
        Field of Use.

8.4.    Licensee and Berkeley Lab by mutual written consent may amend or extend
        the requirements of Exhibit C at the written request of Licensee in
        response to legitimate business or technical reasons.

                         9. PROGRESS AND ROYALTY REPORTS

9.1.    Beginning May 31, 2003, and semi-annually thereafter, Licensee shall
        submit to Berkeley Lab a progress report covering Licensee's activities
        related to the development and testing of all Licensed Products and the
        obtaining of the governmental approvals necessary for marketing Licensed
        Products. Licensee shall make these progress reports until the later of
        the completion of the milestones listed in Exhibit C or commercial sales
        of any Licensed Product start.

                                     8 of 25

                                                                       L-03-1370

9.2.    The progress reports Licensee submits under paragraph 9.1 must include,
        but not be limited to, the following topics:

        9.2.1.  summary of work completed related to the requirements of
                Exhibit C;

        9.2.2.  key scientific discoveries;

        9.2.3.  summary of work in progress;

        9.2.4.  current schedule of anticipated milestones; and

        9.2.5.  market plans for introduction of Licensed Products; and

        9.2.6.  number of full-time equivalent employees or agents (FTEs)
                working on the development of Licensed Products and overall
                number of FTEs employed by Licensee.

9.3.    Upon the earlier of five years after the Effective Date or after the
        first commercial sale of a Licensed Product anywhere in the world,
        Licensee shall make quarterly royalty reports to Berkeley Lab on or
        before February 28, May 31, August 31 and November 30 of each year. Each
        royalty report must cover the most recently completed calendar quarter
        and must show for all sales (or other disposition in accordance with
        paragraph 2.9):

        9.3.1.  the Selling Price of each type of Licensed Product sold by
                Licensee;

        9.3.2.  the number of each type of Licensed Product sold;

        9.3.3.  the royalties, in U.S. dollars, payable under this Agreement on
                those sales;

        9.3.4.  the exchange rates used in calculating the royalty due;

        9.3.5.  the royalties on government sales that otherwise would have been
                due under paragraph 7.10; and

        9.3.6.  for each sublicense, if any:

                (1)   the sublicensee;

                (2)   the information set forth in paragraphs 9.3.1 to 9.3.5 for
                      that sublicensee's sales or other disposition of Licensed
                      Product.

9.4.    If no sales of Licensed Products have been made during any required
        reporting period, Licensee shall make a statement to this effect.

                              10. BOOKS AND RECORDS

10.1.   Licensee shall keep books and records accurately showing, to the extent
        sufficient to support the reports required in paragraph 9.2, work
        performed in satisfaction of the requirements of Exhibits A and C and
        all Licensed Products manufactured, used, sold,

                                     9 of 25
<Page>

                                                                       L-03-1370

        imported or otherwise disposed of under the terms of this Agreement.
        Licensee shall preserve those books and records for at least five years
        from the date of the royalty payment to which they pertain and shall
        open them to representatives or agents of Berkeley Lab, during normal
        business hours, upon at least five (5) business days prior notice,
        solely to verify any reports and payments made or compliance in other
        respects under this Agreement. Inspections shall be limited to once per
        calendar year. Licensee shall render, at Berkeley Lab's expense, all
        assistance reasonably requested by Berkeley Lab for the purposes of
        carrying out such inspections and examination of Licensee's royalty
        payments and performance. Berkeley Lab shall maintain the results of any
        audit as Confidential Information of Licensee pursuant to paragraph
        15.3.

10.2.   Berkeley Lab shall bear the fees and expenses of Berkeley Lab's
        representatives performing the examination of the books and records. But
        if the representatives discover an error in royalties of more than 5% of
        the total royalties due for any year, then Licensee shall bear the
        reasonable and actual fees and expenses of these representatives and the
        difference between the earned royalties and the reported royalties
        (which shall be subject to the provisions of Article 22 (LATE
        PAYMENTS)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Berkeley Lab's
        representatives performing the examination are not independent certified
        public accountants and Licensee in good faith objects to the findings of
        such representatives, Licensee shall not be liable for the fees,
        expenses, and other payments of this paragraph 10.2, unless those
        findings are confirmed by independent certified public accountants.

                            11. LIFE OF THE AGREEMENT

11.1.   Unless otherwise terminated by acts of the parties in accordance with
        the terms of this Agreement, this Agreement is in force from the
        Effective Date and expires concurrently with the expiration, abandonment
        or final adjudication of invalidity of all Licensed Patents, whichever
        is later. Upon expiration (but not earlier termination) of this
        Agreement, Licensee shall have a non-exclusive, worldwide, no-cost right
        to use any information contained or described in the Licensed Patents
        and any information acquired by Licensee pursuant to paragraph 4.1.

11.2.   Any termination of this Agreement shall not affect the rights and
        obligations set forth in the following Articles:

        Article 10    Books and Records
        Article 11    Life of the Agreement
        Article 14    Disposition of Licensed Products on Hand upon Termination
        Article 15    Use of Names and Nondisclosure of Agreement
        Article 16    Limited Warranty
        Article 21    Indemnification
        Article 27    Export Control Laws
        Article 29    Miscellaneous
11.3.   Termination does not affect in any manner any rights of Berkeley Lab or
        Licensee arising under this Agreement before the termination.

                         12. TERMINATION BY EITHER PARTY

12.1.   In the event of a breach of any material term of this Agreement, then
        the non-breaching party may give written notice of such default
        ("Default Notice") to the breaching party. If the breaching party fails
        to cure that default and provide the non-breaching party with reasonable
        evidence of the cure within 90 days of the Default Notice (30 days in
        the case of breach of payment obligations by Licensee), the
        non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement and the licenses
        granted by a second written notice ("Termination Notice") to the
        breaching party after expiration of such cure period, and this Agreement
        shall automatically terminate on the deemed effective date of receipt
        (under Article 23) by the breaching party of the Termination Notice.

                           13. TERMINATION BY LICENSEE

13.1.   Licensee at any time may terminate this Agreement for any reason by
        giving written notice to Berkeley Lab. Licensee's termination notice
        must indicate whether Licensee has any inventory of Licensed Products.
        Licensee's termination of this Agreement will be effective 180 days
        after its notice.

              14. DISPOSITION OF LICENSED PRODUCTS UPON TERMINATION

14.1.   Within 45 days of termination of this Agreement for any reason, Licensee
        shall provide Berkeley Lab with a written inventory of all Licensed
        Products in process of manufacture or in stock. Licensee shall dispose
        of those Licensed Products within 120 days of termination. The sale of
        any Licensed Product within the 120 days is subject to the terms of this
        Agreement.

                 15. USE OF NAMES AND NONDISCLOSURE OBLIGATIONS

15.1.   In accordance with California Education Code Section 92000, Licensee
        shall not use in advertising, publicity or other promotional activities
        any name, trade name, trademark, or other designation of the University
        of California, nor shall Licensee so use "Ernest Orlando Lawrence
        Berkeley National Laboratory" or "Department of Energy" (including any
        contraction, abbreviation, or simulation of any of the foregoing)
        without Berkeley Lab's prior written consent.

15.2.   Neither party may disclose the terms of this Agreement to a third party
        without express written permission of the other party, except when
        required under either the California Public Records Act or other
        applicable law or court order. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
        in this Article 15, (i) either party may disclose the existence of this
        Agreement and identity of the other party and the extent of the grant in
        Article 3 (License Grant); (b) Berkeley Lab may disclose the terms of
        this Agreement to the DOE; and (iii) Licensee may disclose the terms of
        this Agreement to any Affiliate, any sublicensee or potential
        sublicensee, or to any third party if necessary or desirable to assist
        Licensee in building its business, in each case under a written
        confidentiality agreement no less protective than the Mutual
        Nondisclosure Agreement between the parties effective as of July 12,
        2001 (the "Mutual NDA").

15.3.   All information Licensee is required to provide Berkeley Lab under this
        Agreement, including but not limited to information listed in paragraphs
        5.3, 9.1, and 9.3 of this Agreement, is deemed to be Confidential
        Information.

        15.3.1. Berkeley Lab will maintain the confidentiality of the
                Confidential Information, and will not use the Confidential
                Information for any purpose other than as necessary to
                administer this Agreement.

        15.3.2. The obligations of Berkeley Lab with respect to Confidential
                Information will not apply to information disclosed under this
                Agreement to the extent such information:

                15.3.2.1.   is disclosed in a proceeding to enforce Berkeley
                            Lab's rights under this Agreement;

                15.3.2.2.   is public knowledge at the time of disclosure or
                            becomes public knowledge through no wrongful act on
                            the part of Berkeley Lab;

                15.3.2.3.   is in Berkeley Lab's possession at the time of
                            disclosure;

                15.3.2.4.   is obtained by Berkeley Lab from a third party that
                            Berkeley Lab reasonably believes is not bound by
                            confidentiality obligations to Licensee;

                15.3.2.5.   is independently developed by Berkeley Lab without
                            reference to or reliance upon the information as can
                            be documented by written records; or

                15.3.2.6.   is required to be disclosed by Berkeley Lab to
                            comply with applicable laws or governmental
                            regulations, PROVIDED THAT the Berkeley Lab provides
                            prior written notice of such disclosure to the
                            Licensee and takes reasonable and lawful actions to
                            avoid and/or minimize the extent of such disclosure.

15.4.   The provisions of this Article 15 relating to confidentiality shall be
        in force and effect until 5 years following the termination of this
        Agreement.

                              16. LIMITED WARRANTY

16.1.   Berkeley Lab warrants to Licensee that it (a) is the sole owner of the
        Licensed Patents and the Invention, and (b) has the lawful right to
        grant the licenses granted herein. In addition to the notices and
        disclaimers in this Article 16 (LIMITED WARRANTY), Licensee hereby
        agrees and acknowledges that Berkeley Lab (i) has no responsibility or
        obligation to conduct any prior art or infringement search with respect
        to the Patent Rights; and (ii) Berkeley Lab makes no representation or
        warranty, and assumes no liability, with respect to the validity or
        non-infringement of the Patent Rights. In light of the foregoing, as of
        the Effective Date of this Agreement, the Licensing Manager in Berkeley
        Lab's Technology Transfer Department, who is responsible for the
        negotiation of this Agreement, is not aware

                                    12 of 25
<Page>

                                                                       L-03-1370

        of any third party intellectual property for which the practice of the
        Licensed Patents or the Invention would be an infringing act.

16.2.   This license and the associated Invention are provided WITHOUT WARRANTY
        OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY OTHER
        WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. BERKELEY LAB MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR
        WARRANTY THAT LICENSED PRODUCTS WILL NOT INFRINGE ANY PATENT OR OTHER
        PROPRIETARY RIGHT.

16.3.   IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR
        CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM EXERCISE OF THIS LICENSE OR THE USE
        OF THE INVENTION OR LICENSED PRODUCTS, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN
        ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

16.4.   Nothing in this Agreement may be construed as:

        16.4.1. a warranty or representation by Berkeley Lab as to the validity
                or scope of any of Berkeley Lab's rights in Licensed Patents;

        16.4.2. a warranty or representation that anything made, used, sold or
                otherwise disposed of under any license granted in this
                Agreement is or will be free from infringement of any patents
                other than Licensed Patents;

        16.4.3. an obligation to bring or prosecute actions or suits against
                third parties for patent infringement, except as specifically
                provided for in Article 18 (Patent Infringement); or

        16.4.4. a grant by implication, estoppel or otherwise of any license or
                rights under any patents of Berkeley Lab other than Licensed
                Patents, regardless of whether such patents are dominant or
                subordinate to Licensed Patents;

        16.4.5. an obligation to furnish any know-how not provided in Licensed
                Patents (except for information as provided in paragraph 4.1).

                        17. PATENTING AND FOREIGN RIGHTS

17.1.   Berkeley Lab shall prepare, file, prosecute and maintain patent
        applications and patents relating to inventions included in the Licensed
        Patents using patent counsel of its choice, and shall consult and
        cooperate with Licensee in connection therewith. Berkeley Lab shall copy
        Licensee promptly on all U.S.P.T.O. and foreign patent office actions so
        that Licensee shall be informed of the continuing prosecution.
        Notwithstanding the foregoing, Berkeley Lab may take any action useful
        or necessary to obtain and preserve its patent rights in Licensed
        Patents. Berkeley Lab shall use all reasonable efforts to amend any
        patent application to include claims and/or legal arguments reasonably
        requested by Licensee to protect the Licensed Products Licensee
        contemplates selling. To the extent such information is not available to
        the public, Licensee shall keep confidential documents from patent
        offices and patent related filings and associated drafts.

                                    13 of 25

                                                                       L-03-1370

17.2.   Licensee agrees to reimburse Berkeley Lab for Berkeley Lab's
        out-of-pocket patent preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance
        costs. Such reimbursement includes costs of $[**] incurred through June
        14, 2002, and other costs not to exceed $[**] incurred prior to the
        Effective Date. Berkeley Lab shall provide Licensee with documentation
        of patenting costs incurred when invoicing Licensee for those costs.
        Licensee will reimburse Berkeley Lab within 30 days of invoicing.
        Licensee's obligation to reimburse patent costs continues for so long as
        this Agreement remains in effect, provided, however, that Licensee may
        terminate its obligations under this Agreement with respect to any given
        patent application or patent upon three months written notice to
        Berkeley Lab. Berkeley Lab shall use reasonable efforts to curtail
        patent costs when such a notice is received from Licensee. After such
        notice or when this Agreement terminates, Berkeley Lab may continue
        prosecution and/or maintenance of those application(s) or patent(s) at
        its sole discretion and expense; provided, however, that Licensee will
        have no further license or other right to them.

17.3.   Licensee may request that Berkeley Lab seek patent protection on the
        Licensed Patents in foreign countries if available. Berkeley Lab has no
        obligation to take action to file foreign patent applications unless
        Licensee provides written notice to Berkeley Lab at least six weeks
        before any applicable bar and that notice states which countries,
        regions or Patent Cooperation Treaty filing Licensee desires. If
        Licensee timely provides such notice, then Berkeley Lab shall timely
        make such foreign filings. The absence of the required notice from
        Licensee to Berkeley Lab acts as an election not to secure foreign
        rights.

17.4.   Berkeley Lab may file patent applications at its own expense in any
        country in which Licensee has not elected to secure patent rights. Those
        applications and resultant patents shall not be subject to this
        Agreement.

17.5.   If Berkeley Lab fails to prepare, file, prosecute or maintain patent
        applications or patents described in paragraphs 17.1 or 17.3, Licensee
        shall have the right, upon prior written notice to Berkeley Lab, to
        prepare, file, prosecute or maintain such patent applications or
        patents, at Licensee's expense, in the name of Berkeley Lab.

17.6.   Licensee shall promptly notify Berkeley Lab of any change in its status
        as a small business concern and of the first sublicense granted to an
        entity that does not qualify as a small business concern. A "small
        business concern" as used in this paragraph is as defined by the U.S.
        Patent and Trademark Office; currently, that is a company whose number
        of employees, including affiliates, does not exceed 500 persons (13
        C.F.R. 121.802).

                             18. PATENT INFRINGEMENT

18.1.   If Licensee learns of the substantial infringement of any of Licensed
        Patents, Licensee shall so inform Berkeley Lab in writing and shall
        provide Berkeley Lab with reasonable evidence of the infringement.
        During the period and in a jurisdiction where Licensee has exclusive
        rights under this Agreement, neither party may notify a third party of
        the infringement of any of Licensed Patents without first obtaining
        written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be
        unreasonably denied. Subject to paragraph 18.2, both

                                    14 of 25
<Page>

                                                                       L-03-1370

        parties shall use their reasonable efforts in cooperation with each
        other to resolve such infringement without litigation.

18.2.   Licensee may request that Berkeley Lab take legal action against the
        infringement of Licensed Patents in the Field of Use in which Licensee
        has exclusive rights under this Agreement. Licensee shall make that
        request in writing and include reasonable evidence of the infringement
        and damages to Licensee. If the infringing activity has not been abated
        within 90 days of that request, Berkeley Lab may elect to: (a) commence
        suit on its own account; or (b) refuse to participate in the suit.
        Berkeley Lab shall give written notice of its election to Licensee by
        the end of the 100th day after receiving notice of the request from
        Licensee. Licensee may thereafter bring suit for patent infringement
        only if Berkeley Lab elects not to commence suit and if the infringement
        occurred during the period and in a jurisdiction where Licensee has
        exclusive rights under this Agreement. If Berkeley Lab brings suit in
        accordance with this paragraph, Licensee may thereafter join such suit,
        at its own expense, and contribute up to fifty percent of the costs of
        such suit. If Licensee elects to bring suit in accordance with this
        paragraph, Berkeley Lab may thereafter join such suit, at its own
        expense, and contribute up to fifty percent of the costs of such suit.
        Subject to this paragraph 18.2, if required by law, each party shall
        permit any action under this paragraph to be brought in its name,
        including being joined as a nominal party-plaintiff, provided that the
        other party shall hold such party harmless from, and indemnify the such
        party against, any costs, expenses or liability that such party incurs
        in connection with such action.

18.3.   Such legal action as is decided upon must be at the expense of the party
        on account of whom suit is brought and all consequent recoveries belong
        to that party. But if Berkeley Lab and Licensee jointly bring legal
        action and fully participate in it, the parties must jointly share the
        expense and all recoveries shall be shared in proportion to the share of
        expense each party pays.

18.4.   Each party shall cooperate with the other in litigation proceedings
        instituted under this Agreement but at the expense of the party on
        account of whom suit is brought. The party bringing the suit will
        control that litigation, including the settlement thereof, subject to
        the right of Berkeley Lab to be represented by counsel of its choice in
        any suit brought by Licensee, it being understood that Licensee will
        still control litigation brought by it.

                                   19. WAIVER

19.1.   The waiver of any breach of any term of this Agreement does not waive
        any other breach of that or any other term.

                                                                       L-03-1370

                                 20. ASSIGNMENT

20.1.   This Agreement is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of (a)
        Berkeley Lab, its successors and assigns and (b) Licensee, its
        successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement is personal to the
        Licensee. Any attempt by Licensee to assign this Agreement is void
        unless Licensee obtains the prior written consent of Berkeley Lab;
        Berkeley Lab shall not unreasonably withhold that consent. Berkeley Lab
        acknowledges that it shall not be reasonable for Berkeley Lab to
        withhold its consent if the third party to whom Licensee desires to
        assign this Agreement has the expertise and financial ability to exploit
        the licenses granted under this Agreement (i.e., is not an entity with
        limited assets and personnel). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
        after Licensee has achieved the milestone described in Section 5 of
        Schedule C, Licensee may assign this Agreement, upon written notice to
        Berkeley Lab and without Berkeley Lab's consent, in conjunction with the
        sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets related to
        the commercialization of the Licensed Patents, or pursuant to a merger
        or consolidation, to or into an entity which has agreed in writing to be
        bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

                               21. INDEMNIFICATION

21.1.   Licensee agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Berkeley Lab and
        the U.S. Government and their officers, employees, and agents; the
        sponsors of the research that led to the Invention; and the inventors of
        the patents and patent applications in Licensed Patents and their
        employers against any and all claims, suits, losses, damage, costs,
        fees, and expenses ("Claims") resulting from or arising out of
        Licensee's or its Affiliates' exercise of this license or its
        sublicensees' exercise of any sublicense, except to any indemnified
        party to the extent that Claims result from the gross negligence or
        willful misconduct of Berkeley Lab or its officers, employees, or
        agents. Licensee shall pay all costs incurred by Berkeley Lab in
        successfully enforcing this indemnification, including reasonable
        attorney fees. The indemnity set forth herein shall apply only if
        Licensee shall have been informed in writing as soon and as completely
        as practical by Berkeley Lab and/or the Government of the action
        alleging such Claim, the indemnified parties cooperate fully with
        Licensee in the defense of any such Claim, and Licensee shall have been
        given an opportunity, to the maximum extent afforded by applicable laws,
        rules, or regulations, to control its defense and settlement. Neither
        Licensee nor any indemnified party shall agree to any settlement of such
        Claim that does not include a complete release of the other party(-ies)
        from all liability with respect thereto or that imposes any liability,
        obligation or restriction on such other party(-ies) without such other
        party(-ies) consent unless required by final decree of a court of
        competent jurisdiction. Licensee may participate in the defense of any
        claim through its own counsel, and at its own expense.

21.2.   Licensee, at its sole expense, shall insure its activities related to
        this Agreement and obtain and keep in force Comprehensive or Commercial
        Form General Liability Insurance (contractual liability and products
        liability included) with limits as follows:

        21.2.4. General Aggregate (commercial form only)             $ 4,000,000
</Table>

21.3.   The coverages and limits referred to in this Article 21 do not in any
        way limit the liability of Licensee. Licensee shall furnish Berkeley Lab
        with certificates of insurance, including renewals, evidencing
        compliance with all requirements at least 30 days prior to the first
        commercial sale, clinical use, practice or distribution of a Licensed
        Product.

        21.3.1. If such insurance is written on a claims-made form, coverage
                shall provide for a retroactive date of placement on or before
                the Effective Date.

        21.3.2. Licensee shall maintain the general liability insurance
                specified during: (a) the period that the Licensed Product is
                being commercially distributed or sold by Licensee or by a
                sublicensee or agent of Licensee, and (b) a reasonable period
                thereafter, but in no event less than five years.

21.4.   The insurance coverage of paragraph 21.2 must:

        21.4.1. Provide for 30-day advance written notice to Berkeley Lab of
                cancellation or of any modification.

        21.4.2. Indicate that DOE, "The Regents of the University of California"
                and its officers, employees, students, agents, are endorsed as
                additional insureds.

        21.4.3. Include a provision that the coverages are primary and do not
                participate with, nor are excess over, any valid and collectible
                insurance or program of self-insurance carried or maintained by
                Berkeley Lab.

                                22. LATE PAYMENTS

22.1.   If Licensee does not make a payment to Berkeley Lab when due, Licensee
        shall pay to Berkeley Lab such reasonable administrative fees and the
        lesser of 10% simple interest per annum or the maximum permitted by law.

29.1.   The headings of the several sections are inserted for convenience of
        reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the

29.2.   This Agreement is not binding upon the parties until it is signed below
        on behalf of each party.

        Agreement must be construed as if that invalid or illegal or
        unenforceable provision is severed from the Agreement, provided,
        however, that the parties shall negotiate in good faith substitute
        enforceable provisions that most nearly effect the parties' intent in

        construction and effect of any patent shall be determined by the law of
