finished dosage form containing the Collaboration Product in combination with
one or more other active ingredients (a "Combination Product"), the Net Sales of
the Collaboration Product, for the purposes of determining royalty payments,
shall be determined by multiplying the Net Sales (as defined above in this
Section) of the Combination Product by the fraction, A/(A+B) where A is the
weighted (by sales volume) average sale price of the Collaboration Product when
sold separately in finished form and B is the weighted average sale price of the
other product(s) sold separately in finished form, provided that the above
formula in this Section 2.19.4 shall not apply if the Collaboration Product is
virtually always sold in combination form and if each of the active ingredients
in a



                                       5
<PAGE>



Combination Product results from the Research Program and in each such event the
following sentence shall apply. In the event that such average sale price cannot
be determined for both the Collaboration Product and the other product(s) in
combination, Net Sales for purposes of determining royalty payments shall be
mutually agreed by the parties based on relative value contributed by each
component, and such agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld.

                              ARTICLE 3 - RESEARCH

         3.1 Research. There is attached to this Agreement as Appendix C, the
applicable Research Plan describing the Research (the "Research") to be
conducted by SGX in accordance with this Agreement. The Research Plan may be
revised from time to time by the determination of the JRC. Any such revised
Research Plan shall be attached hereto as Appendix C. The term of the Research
will commence on the Effective Date and terminate on the third (3rd) anniversary
of the Effective Date (the "Completion Date") unless terminated earlier as
provided in this Agreement. SGX will exercise its good faith commercial efforts
to conduct the Research in a professional and diligent manner; provided however,
that SGX does not warrant that the Research will achieve any of the research
objectives contemplated by it. For the purposes of Sections 2.15, 2.23, 2.24,
4.1 and 6.5, the Research shall also include the "Research" (as defined in the
SRA) performed pursuant to the SRA. The Research is dependent upon the
availability of both biophysical and cell-based assays to be provided by CFFT.
It is envisioned that the biophysical assay will be based either on Isothermal
Titrating Calorimetry or Biacore(TM) analysis, both of which are capable of
measuring binding of low molecular weight




                                       7
<PAGE>



compounds with affinities as low as 100uM. SGX will be responsible for providing
samples of both proteins and compounds for this assay. The cell-based assay
should be capable of detecting compounds with activities of less than 100uM. The
read-out from the assay should reflect activity of functional CFTR. CFFT will
bear the costs of all assays.

         3.2 Research Staffing. SGX will dedicate a minimum of [...***...] full
time equivalent researchers ("FTE's") to the Research per year during the term
of the Research, the exact number to be determined by the JRC on a quarterly
basis in advance of each calendar quarter during the term of the Research based
on the demands of the Research during the upcoming quarter. One FTE is
equivalent to [...***...] hours of work per year. It is anticipated that the
following researchers will be involved in the Research: [...***...], [...***...]
and [...***...] (collectively, the "Key Personnel"). [...***...] shall serve as
SGX's Research manager and shall be responsible for the overall management of
the Research and shall be the first point of contact with CFFT. SGX shall
endeavor to continue to assign the Key Personnel to the Research until the
Completion Date; provided however, that if SGX believes internal transfers are
necessary, SGX shall discuss with CFFT the reasons for such transfers, the
identity and qualification of the proposed substitute personnel, and the means
by which SGX proposes to prevent any such transfer resulting in a learning curve
loss detrimental to the progress of the Research. SGX shall secure CFFT's
written approval prior to implementing any transfer of the Key Personnel;
provided however, that such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.

         3.3 Research Funding. CFFT will pay SGX research funding during the
term of the Research based on the number of SGX FTEs involved in the Research as
provided in Section 3.2 above. For each such FTE, CFFT will pay SGX the rate of
[...***...] dollars ($[...***...]) per FTE per year, except that CFFT will pay
SGX for [...***...] of the FTE's for the Research from the Effective Date
through December 30, 2005 at the rate of [...***...] dollars ($[...***...]) per
FTE. Payments will be made by CFFT [...***...] beginning on the Effective Date,
based on the number of FTE's SGX estimates will be devoted to the Research
during the following fiscal quarter. With its invoice, SGX will provide CFFT
with evidence that the number and appropriate qualifications of FTE's covered by
the [...***...] were actually devoted to the Research and will respond promptly
to any CFFT questions regarding same. Within sixty (60) days following each
anniversary date during the term of the Research, SGX shall provide CFFT with an
annual accounting of the FTE's actually devoted to the Research during the
preceding year and accord CFFT a credit (or in the case of the last annual
accounting), a refund, for any deficiency in FTE's assigned to the Research from
the number of FTE's specified in Section 3.2 for such preceding annual period.
In no event shall CFFT be responsible during any annual period for FTE's
payments in excess of the number of FTE's specified in Section 3.2 for such
period.

         3.4 Technology Payments


                  (a) CFFT shall pay SGX a [...***...] of one million dollars
($1 million) after receipt of an invoice for same, which may be submitted by SGX
immediately after the Effective Date.




                                       9     ***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
<PAGE>



                  (b) CFFT shall pay SGX quarterly Technology Maintenance Fees
of [...***...] dollars ($[...***...]) each, billable by SGX on the first
anniversary date of the Effective Date and at the outset of each three (3) month
period thereafter during the term of the Research after receipt of invoices for
same.

         3.5 Milestone Payments.

                  (a) In addition to the FTE payments provided for in Section
3.3, CFFT shall pay to SGX the nonrefundable milestone payments for the
achievement of the Milestone Events set forth in Appendix D.


         (b) Appendix D is provided to direct the flow of the Research and to
offer incentives to SGX. The order and timing of these Milestone Events is
suggested by CFFT and its advisors on the JRC. However, these steps may be
performed out of order and in any year if such performance is determined by the
JRC to help to achieve the overall objectives of the Research at the time they
are performed. Failure to achieve any of the Milestone Events described in
Appendix A or D will not constitute a breach of this Agreement. However, the
failure to achieve a Key Milestone Event on or before its Anticipated Completion
Date (as defined in Appendix D) shall constitute grounds for a "No Cost
Termination" by CFFT in accordance with Section 7.2 of this Agreement.

         (c) Milestone payments shall be paid after the JRC confirms the
completion of each Milestone Event and the receipt of the SGX invoice
corresponding to the Milestone Event.

         3.6 Outsource Budget. In addition to the payments to SGX specified
hereinabove, CFFT will reimburse SGX for amounts SGX incurs for third party
services or materials specified in the Outsource Budget attached hereto as
Appendix E. The Outsource Budget may be amended from time to time with CFFT's
approval. Payments due to SGX under the Outsource Budget shall be invoiced to
CFFT with respect to the preceding quarter.

         3.7 Early Termination Bonus. In addition to the payments provided for
in Sections 3.3 through 3.6. CFFT shall pay to SGX, within sixty (60) days after
the termination of this Agreement, an additional bonus if, but only if,
Milestone Event numbered 10 has been successfully completed by SGX prior to the
termination, such bonus to be calculated as follows: (i) multiplying [...***...]
dollars ($[...***...]) by the number of FTE's specified in Section 3.2 for the
period from the date of such successful completion through the Completion Date,
provided that, if no final number of FTE's have been approved for any portion of
the period after successful completion and prior to the Completion Date, the
number of FTE's for such period for purposes of calculating the Early
Termination Bonus shall be [...***...]. Such bonus shall be in lieu of FTE
payments that otherwise might have been devoted to the Research after successful
completion had the Agreement not been terminated.

         3.8 Research Management.

                  (a) During the term of the Agreement, three or more
representatives of each party will be named to serve on the Joint Research
Committee (the "JRC"). The JRC shall meet regularly (at least two times per year
in person and more frequently at the call of a



                                       11    ***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
<PAGE>



representative from either party face to face, by telephone or video
conferencing) to oversee the progress of the Research. The timing and location
of such meetings will be agreed upon by the parties. SGX will provide a written
report (the "Progress Report") detailing the progress of the Research quarterly,
with the Progress Report scheduled for quarters immediately preceding meetings
of the JRC to be distributed to CFFT at least three (3) business days prior to
such meetings. Without limitation, SGX will include in the Progress Reports in
reasonable detail SGX's interpretation of the data.

                  (b) The JRC will be responsible for: approving the detailed
research plans for the first and subsequent years of the Research and any
revision thereto; coordinating and monitoring research progress; determining the
numbers of FTE's required to accomplish the tasks specified in the Research
Plan, determining the successful completion of Appendix A milestones and
Milestone Events; ensuring open and frequent exchanges between the parties with
respect to Research activities; and approving priorities of the Research and
allocations of tasks and resources required to carry out the goals of the
Research. All such decisions will be made by consensus of the JRC; provided
however, that CFFT will have the final decision as to the setting of priorities
for the Research and with respect to all decisions relating directly or
indirectly to payments (including the completion of Appendix A milestones and
Milestone Events) under this Agreement. Decisions of the JRC are [...***...].

         3.9 Proprietary Materials.

                  (a) In the course of the Research, a party ("Donor") may
transfer its proprietary materials to the other party ("Donee"). Substances made
by a Donee from proprietary materials of a Donor shall remain the property of
the Donor. Neither party shall



                                       12    ***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
<PAGE>




transfer the other party's proprietary materials to any third party without the
prior written consent of the Donor.

                  (b) CFFT shall exercise its good faith commercial efforts to
obtain from Grantees information and materials; provided however, that all
decisions regarding whether or not, and on what terms, to obtain such
information and materials from Grantees, will be CFFT's responsibility and at
its sole discretion.

                  (c) Upon termination of this Agreement, any remaining
proprietary materials supplied by a Donor will be returned to the Donor or
destroyed, as requested by the Donor.

                  (d) BOTH PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PROPRIETARY MATERIALS
PROVIDED BY EITHER PARTY TO THE OTHER PARTY ARE EXPERIMENTAL IN NATURE AND THAT
THE DONOR MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, AS TO THE MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. In no
event shall either party be liable to the other party for any indirect or
consequential damages resulting from any use of the proprietary materials or any
derivatives thereof, by the other party.

         3.10 Exclusivity. During the term of the Research, SGX will not enter
into any agreement or conduct any research, with any commercial third party or
for any commercial purpose, in connection with the structure solution of CFTR
proteins or the development of modulators of CFTR.

             ARTICLE 4 - - INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND PAYMENTS

         4.1 Ownership. SGX Background Intellectual Property is owned by SGX.
CFFT Intellectual Property is owned by CFFT. SGX will own any Lead Series, Early
Lead Series and Structure Data resulting from the Research; provided however,
that SGX hereby grants to CFFT (a) an exclusive (even as to SGX) worldwide,
sublicensable, perpetual license under all of its rights and interests in any
Lead Series and Early Lead Series to use, sell, license or otherwise transfer
any Lead Series and Early Lead Series to a third party; and (b) an exclusive
(even as to SGX) worldwide, sublicensable, perpetual license in the Structure
Data (other than an Early Lead Series and Lead Series) in the Field under all of
its rights and interests. At CFFT's request, SGX shall promptly furnish the
Structure Data, Early Lead Series and Lead Series to CFFT in such form as will
allow CFFT to exercise its rights hereunder. If CFFT determines that SGX's
retention of title hereunder in any way hinders commercialization, it may
request that SGX transfer title to CFFT. SGX shall not unreasonably withhold its
consent to such request. Without limitation of the foregoing in this Section
4.1, SGX's retention of title to any Lead Series, Early Lead Series and the
Structure Data shall not allow SGX to use the Structure Data in the Field or use
the Lead Series or Early Lead Series for any purposes other than the Research,
and shall not allow SGX to transfer the Structure Data to any third party for
use in the Field or transfer the Early Lead Series or Lead Series to any third
person, except in each case in conjunction with an assignment allowable under
Section 9.5 and then only if SGX's successor in interest in any such assignment
agrees to be bound by the terms of this Section 4.1. SGX shall execute such
agreements and/or documents as



                                       14
<PAGE>




requested by CFFT as are necessary to implement CFFT's rights pursuant to this
Section 4.1. Inventorship of Inventions will be determined in accordance with
the laws of the United States and other applicable law.

         4.2 License to SGX of CFFT Intellectual Property. Subject to the terms
of this Agreement, CFFT grants to SGX and SGX accepts a non-exclusive, paid-up,
license of CFFT Intellectual Property to use and practice CFFT Intellectual
Property solely to conduct the Research to the extent that CFFT has the right to
grant such license.

         4.3 SGX Background Intellectual Property. CFFT will have no rights to
use or practice SGX Background Intellectual Property except to the extent it is
integrated into the Structure Data, Early Lead Series or a Lead Series.

         4.4 Commercial Efforts. CFFT will exercise its good faith commercial
efforts to (i) develop and bring on its own account or through sublicensees,
Collaboration Products to the market as soon as reasonably practicable, (ii)
obtain regulatory approvals to market Collaboration Products, and (iii) after
obtaining regulatory approvals for any Collaboration Products, launch
Collaboration Products and promote and meet the market demand therefor.

         4.5 Lack of Diligence. In the event that CFFT fails to exercise its
good faith efforts to develop and commercialize a Collaboration Product within
[...***...] years after the Completion Date, the rights to the Structure Data,
Early Lead Series and Lead Series granted to CFFT pursuant to Section 4.1 shall
revert to SGX and SGX thereafter shall have the right to develop, manufacture,
make, have made, import, use, distribute, offer for sale and sell Collaboration
Products. In the event of such reversion, SGX shall pay to



                                       15    ***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
<PAGE>



CFFT [...***...] percent ([...***...]%) of any amount SGX receives from the sale
of any Collaboration Product.

         4.6 Lump Sum Payments. It is anticipated that CFFT will seek a
sublicensee to aid in the further development and commercialization of a Lead
Series generated by SGX. SGX further acknowledges that CFFT may elect to invest
additional funds in the continued development of the Structure Data or a Lead
Series or Early Lead Series prior to seeking a sublicensee and that CFFT will
seek a sublicensee either directly or indirectly after delivery by SGX of a Lead
Series, Early Lead Series or Structure Data or at any point thereafter. Upon
entering into a sublicensing arrangement, CFFT will pay to SGX the cumulative
amounts indicated in the table below of the greater of the indicated percentage
of sublicensing proceeds or the indicated milestone and royalty payments for the
stages completed prior to sublicensing. Thereafter, CFFT shall pay to SGX the
greater of the indicated percentage of sublicensing proceeds or the milestone or
royalty amount corresponding to a stage when it is completed.

         4.7 Royalty Accounting and Payments. The royalty payments due under
Section 4.6 will be paid quarterly within sixty (60) days after the close of
each calendar quarter beginning with the calendar quarter following the quarter
in which the first commercial sale of a Collaboration Product occurs. With each
such quarterly payment CFFT will furnish to SGX a written accounting in a format
agreed upon by the parties detailing the total number of units of each
Collaboration Product sold for the quarterly period for which payments under
Section 4.6 are due. Any payments due hereunder which are not paid by the date
due will bear interest at a rate equal to the prime rate as reported by Citibank

[...***...] percent ([...***...]%).

         4.8 Records; Inspection. CFFT will keep complete, true and accurate
books of account and records for the purpose of determining the amounts payable
under Section 4.6. Such books will be kept reasonably accessible for at least
three (3) years following the end of the calendar quarter to which they pertain.
Such records will be open for inspection during such three (3) year period with
reasonable notice by a representative or agent of SGX for the purpose of
verifying the written accounting. SGX shall bear the costs and expenses of any
such inspections conducted under this Section 4.8 unless a variation or error
producing an underpayment of [...***...] percent ([...***...]%) or more of the
amount payable for any inspection period is established, whereupon all costs and
expenses


                                       17    ***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
<PAGE>



relating to such inspection and any unpaid amounts discovered will be paid by
CFFT together with interest on such amounts at the rate specified in Section
4.7.

         4.9 Payments to CFFT. In the event section 4.5 is applicable, Sections
4.7 and 4.8 shall be applicable to SGX and CFFT by reversing the rights and
obligations of the parties specified therein.

                         ARTICLE 5 - PATENT PROSECUTION

         5.1 Prosecution by each party.


                  (a) SGX shall promptly notify CFFT of any Invention. During
the term of Research, SGX shall, at CFFT's expense, (i) direct the preparation,
filing, prosecution and maintenance of patent applications and patents relating
to the Research in such countries as CFFT deems appropriate and (ii) conduct any
interferences, re-examinations, reissues, oppositions or requests for patent
term extensions with respect to patents and patent applications; and (iii) keep
CFFT informed as to the status of patent matters relating to Inventions,
including, without limitation, by providing CFFT and its patent counsel the
opportunity, at CFFT's expense, to review and comment on any documents relating
to the Research which will be filed in any patent office at least thirty (30)
days before such filing, and promptly providing CFFT with copies of any
documents relating to the Inventions which SGX receives from such patent
offices, including notices of all interferences, reissues, reexaminations,
oppositions or requests for patent term extensions. After the term of the
Research, CFFT shall assume the aforementioned obligations with respect to
patents. CFFT



                                       18
<PAGE>



shall reimburse SGX for the costs SGX incurs in undertaking the above patent
responsibilities on a monthly basis.

                  (b) SGX shall have the right at its sole expense to direct the
preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of patent applications and
patents relating to SGX Background Intellectual Property worldwide in such
countries as SGX deems appropriate, and conduct any interferences,
re-examinations, reissues, oppositions or requests for patent term extensions
with respect thereto.

         5.2 Prosecution by CFFT. In the event SGX declines to file or, having
filed, declines to further prosecute and maintain any patents or patent
applications on Inventions for which it is responsible under Section 5.1(a)
after a reasonable opportunity to do so, CFFT will have the right to conduct
such activities, at its own expense, in the name of the owner in any country, in
which event SGX shall provide all reasonable assistance requested by CFFT at
CFFT's expense.

         5.3 Cooperation. Each party will make available to the other such of
its employees, agents or consultants as are reasonably necessary or appropriate
to enable such party to file, prosecute and maintain patents and patent
applications as permitted under Section 5.1(a), including without limitation, by
providing the other with an opportunity to fully review and comment on any
documents as far in advance of filing dates as feasible, which documents will be
filed in any patent office, and providing the other with copies of any documents
that such party received from such patent offices promptly after receipt,
including notice of all interferences, reissues, reexaminations, oppositions or
requests for patent term extensions.

                           ARTICLE 6 - CONFIDENTIALITY

         6.1 Confidential Information. Pursuant to the SRA and to this
Agreement, SGX and CFFT have and may supply each other with certain proprietary,
technical or business information or materials ("Confidential Information").
Confidential Information will mean all Confidential Information disclosed by the
parties to each other under the SRA and all information disclosed by a party to
the other party under this Agreement and designated as "Confidential" by the
disclosing party at the time of disclosure as follows: (i) Confidential
Information embodied in any tangible form or thing must be marked or labeled
clearly as "CONFIDENTIAL" or with a similar legend sufficient to notify the
receiving party that the Confidential Information is subject to the terms of
this Agreement; (ii) Confidential Information disclosed orally must be
identified as "CONFIDENTIAL" at the time of oral disclosure; (iii) Confidential
Information licensed to CFFT pursuant to Section 4.1 of this Agreement which
shall be the Confidential Information of CFFT pursuant to such license
notwithstanding the fact the information was initially disclosed to CFFT by SGX.

         6.2 Use of Confidential Information. SGX and CFFT agree that they will
not use any Confidential Information received from the other party except for
the purposes of this Agreement or to exercise the rights granted or retained by
such party under this Agreement. Each party agrees not to disclose any
Confidential Information received from the other party to any third parties,
except as provided in Sections 6.3 or 6.4, to the extent required for patent
filings, or otherwise to exercise its rights duties and obligations




                                       20
<PAGE>



pursuant to this Agreement. SGX and CFFT agree to maintain and follow reasonable
procedures to prevent unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential
Information and to prevent it from falling into the public domain or the
possession of unauthorized persons. SGX and CFFT agree that subject to the first
two sentences of this Section 6.2, and to Sections 6.3 and 6.4, the recipient of
Confidential Information hereunder will not disclose such information other than
to those of its officers, employees, or consultants who require access to
Confidential Information to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and that
all such disclosures will be subject to written contractual obligations of
confidentiality at least as restrictive as those in this Agreement. Each party
will immediately advise the other party of any disclosure, loss or use of
Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement. The obligations of the
parties with respect to Confidential Information under this Article 6 will
terminate [...***...] ([...***...]) years from the Completion Date except in the
case of Confidential Information exclusively licensed to CFFT pursuant to this
Agreement which confidentiality restrictions shall remain in force for SGX for
[...***...].

         6.3 Disclosure to Commercial Partner. In the event that either party
enters into an agreement with a third party in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement with respect to the further development or commercialization of any
Inventions, such party will have the right to disclose to that third party and
such third party will have the right to use such Confidential Information of the
other party as is necessary to accomplish the purposes of the agreement between
the contracting party and the third party.

         6.4 Exceptions. For purposes of Sections 6.1 through 6.3, Confidential
Information will not include information that the receiving party shows is:




                                       21    ***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
<PAGE>



                  (a) lawfully known or available to the receiving party from a
source other than the disclosing party without breach of this Agreement;


                  (b) already known to the receiving party, as shown by written
records, before its disclosure by the disclosing party;


                  (c) developed independently by the receiving party without the
use or consideration of or reference to the Confidential Information of the
disclosing party;


                  (d) within, or later falls within, the public domain without
breach of this Agreement by the receiving party;


                  (e) publicly disclosed with the written approval of the
disclosing party; or


                  (f) disclosed pursuant to the requirement or demand of a
lawful governmental or judicial authority, but only to the extent required by
operation of law, regulation or court order; provided however, prior to such
disclosure the party otherwise required to disclose shall notify the other party
as far in advance as is practicable to allow such other party to seek a
protective order; and


                  (g) the transfer of coordinate files that underlie milestones
4 and 5 of Appendix A and Milestone 5 of Appendix D, each of which files shall
be furnished to CFFT by SGX promptly upon the completion of each such milestone.

         6.5 Publication. In the event any of the parties hereto wish to publish
any papers relating to the Research, representatives of the other parties hereto
may be co-authors of such papers, subject to customary scientific practices;
provided, however, each



                                       22
<PAGE>



party's contribution to the Research described in such papers will be
acknowledged in all such papers, regardless of authorship. To afford each party
an opportunity to determine that no Confidential Information of such party is
disclosed in any proposed publications, whether written or oral (including
without limitation, presentations to a journal or editor or other written
materials, abstracts, presentations to a seminar, meeting or other third party
or any other oral disclosure or abstract) and that patent filings will not be
jeopardized, and to keep each party informed of upcoming disclosures, each party
will provide the other with an advance copy of any proposed publication or
abstract relating to the Research at least thirty (30) days prior to submission
of such manuscript or thirty (30) days prior to presentation if such publication
is to be made orally. At the non-publishing party's request, the publishing
party will delay submitting such manuscripts for an additional ninety (90) days
to allow the non-publishing party to take such steps it deems necessary to file
patent applications or otherwise protect its Confidential Information.

         6.6 Publicity. Neither party may make any public announcement relating
to this Agreement including disclosure of the terms or status of Milestone
Events under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other
party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Upon execution of this
Agreement, the parties will issue a press release in the form mutually agreed
upon or a reasonable variant thereof. Any additional press releases or public
announcements with respect to this Agreement or the transactions and activities
contemplated herein will be published at such time and in such manner as the
parties will mutually agree upon.

payable by CFFT to SGX except for any outstanding accrued liabilities existing
as of the effective date of termination.


         7.3 Automatic Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the

         7.5 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this
Agreement (other than by reason of CFFT's breach), the licenses granted by CFFT
to SGX pursuant to this Agreement will terminate. In the event of termination of
this Agreement by CFFT under Sections 7.2 or 7.4, or in the event of termination
under Section 7.3, SGX agrees that for a period of [...***...] ([...***...])
years from the date of termination, it will not work with any third party in the
field of CFTR structure determination. In the event of termination (other than
as a result of CFFT's breach), SGX shall transfer to CFFT in a format requested
by CFFT all processes and materials relevant to the Research other than SGX
Background Intellectual Property. , In addition to other licenses granted to
CFFT by SGX pursuant to this Agreement, (i) in the event of termination of this

         7.6 Survival. Articles 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 and Section 3.9 shall
survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, except that:
(a) in the event of termination by CFFT under Section 7.4, Sections 4.6 and 4.7
shall not survive; and (b) in the event of a termination by SGX under Section
7.4, sections 4.1(a) and (b) shall not

<PAGE>



survive; and (c) in the event of termination by CFFT under Section 7.2, Sections
4.6 and 4.7 shall not survive, but in lieu of payments to SGX pursuant to those
sections, CFFT shall pay to SGX [...***...] percent ([...***...]%) of any amount
CFFT receives from the sale of any Collaboration Product.

                           ARTICLE 8 - INDEMNIFICATION

         8.1 CFFT Indemnification. CFFT agrees to defend, indemnify and hold
SGX, its directors, officers, employees, agents and Affiliates, harmless from
and against any losses, costs, claims, liabilities or expenses (including
reasonable attorney's fees and expenses of litigation) claimed by persons not
covered by this indemnification arising out of or in connection with (i) the use
or practice of an Early Lead Series, Lead Series or Structure Data by or on
behalf of CFFT, its Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees or (ii) the research
and development, manufacture, use, promotion, marketing, sale or other
distribution of any Collaboration Product by CFFT or its Affiliates, licensees
or sublicensees, except to the extent that such claims result from the
negligence or willful misconduct of SGX.

         8.2 SGX Indemnification. SGX agrees to defend, indemnify and hold CFFT
and its Affiliates and their officers, employees and agents, harmless from and
against any losses, costs, claims, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable
attorney's fees and expenses of litigation) claimed by persons not covered by
this indemnification arising out of or in connection with (i) the negligent
performance or willful misconduct of this Agreement by or on behalf of SGX; or
(ii) resulting from the use or practice of CFFT Intellectual Property by or on
behalf of SGX; or (iii) resulting from the use or practice of




                                       26    ***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
<PAGE>



SGX Background Intellectual Property by SGX; except to the extent that such
claims result from the negligence or willful misconduct of CFFT.

         8.3 Procedure. The parties agree to promptly notify each other of any
claim or liability subject to this Article 8. The indemnifying party will have
the right to control the defense thereof with counsel of its choice; provided
however, that the indemnified party will have the right to retain its own
counsel at its own expense for any reason. The indemnified party will cooperate
with the indemnifying party and its legal representatives in the investigation
of any action, claim or liability covered by this Article 8. The indemnified
party will not, except at its own cost, voluntarily make any payment or incur
any expense with respect to any claim or suit without the prior written consent
of the indemnifying party.


                            ARTICLE 9 - MISCELLANEOUS

         9.1 Representations and Warranties. Each party represents and warrants:


                  (a) each SGX scientist and employee involved in the Research
has entered into a contract which provides for assignment to the party of all
Inventions and discoveries made by the scientist or employee during the course
of his or her employment with the party;


                  (b) it has not previously granted and during the term of this
Agreement will not grant any option, license or interest in or to the
Intellectual Property subject to this Agreement or any portion thereof in
conflict with the rights granted to the other party herein;



                                       27
<PAGE>



                  (c) it has the right to grant the rights granted herein and it
has the full power, right and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement
and perform its obligations hereunder; and


                  (d) it owns or has a license (with the right to grant
sublicenses) to the proprietary materials provided to the other party under this
Agreement

         9.2 Arbitration. The parties recognize the disputes as to certain
matters may from time to time arise during the term of this Agreement which
relate to either party's rights and/or obligations hereunder. It is the
objective of the parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of
disputes arising under this Agreement in an expedient manner by mutual
cooperation and without resorting to arbitration. The parties agree that prior
to any arbitration concerning this Agreement, CFFT's President and SGX's
President will meet in person or by video conferencing in a good faith effort to
resolve any disputes concerning this Agreement. Within thirty (30) days of a
formal request by either party to the other, any party may, by written notice to
the other, have such dispute referred to their respective officers designated
for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations, such good faith
negotiations to begin within thirty (30) days after such notice is received. Any
dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement which is not resolved
between the parties or the designated officers of the parties pursuant to this
Section 9 will be resolved by final and binding arbitration conducted in
Chicago, Illinois under the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the
American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The arbitration will be conducted by
three (3) arbitrators who are knowledgeable in the subject matter which is at
issue in the dispute. One arbitrator will be selected by CFFT and one arbitrator
will be selected by SGX and the third arbitrator



                                       28
<PAGE>



will be appointed by the AAA. In conducting the arbitration, the arbitrator will
determine what discovery will be permitted, consistent with the goal of limiting
the cost and time which the parties must expend for discovery (and provided that
the arbitrators will permit such discovery they deem necessary to permit an
equitable resolution of the dispute) and will be able to decree any and all
relief of an equitable nature, including but not limited to such relief as a
temporary restraining order, a preliminary injunction, a permanent injunction,
specific performance or replevin of property. The arbitrators will also be able
to award actual or general damages, but will not award any other form of damage
(e.g., consequential, punitive or exemplary damages). The parties will share
equally the arbitrator's fees and expenses pending the resolution of the
arbitration unless the arbitrators require the non-prevailing party to bear all
or any portion of the costs of the prevailing party. The decision of the
arbitrators will be final and binding and may be enforced by the party in whose
favor it runs in any court of competent jurisdiction at the option of such
party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.2, either
party may seek immediate injunctive or other interim relief from any court of
competent jurisdiction with respect to any breach of Section 6 hereof, or
otherwise to enforce and protect the patent rights, copyrights, trademarks, or
other intellectual property rights owned or controlled by such party. In no
event will a demand for arbitration be made after the date when the institution
of a legal or equitable proceeding based on such claim, dispute or other matter
in question would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations.

         9.3 Invoices. All invoices sent under this Agreement are payable within
thirty (30) days after the date of an invoice finally submitted. Each invoice
shall be submitted




                                       29
<PAGE>


with sufficient backup information to allow CFFT to verify the invoice amounts.
SGX shall promptly respond to requests by CFFT for further information and SGX
shall cooperate with CFFT if CFFT determines that an audit of any invoice is
appropriate. In case of non- or late payments of any amounts owing by CFFT to
SGX, such amounts shall bear interest at the rate of [...***...]% per
[...***...] from the date on which such amounts shall become due and payable.

         9.4 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the
State of Maryland, without reference to conflicts of laws principles.

         9.5 Assignment. This Agreement will not be assignable by either party
to any third party without the prior written consent of the other party; except
either party may assign this Agreement without such consent, to (i) an Affiliate
of such party; or (ii) an entity that acquires all or substantially all of the
business or assets of such party to which this Agreement relates, whether by
merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale or otherwise.

         9.6 No Implied License. No right or license under any patent
application, issued patent, know-how or other proprietary information is granted
or shall be granted by implication. All such rights or licenses are or shall be
granted only as expressly provided in the terms of this Agreement.

         9.7 Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable to the other for
failure or delay in the performance of any of its obligations under this
Agreement for the time and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by
earthquake, riot, civil commotion, war, hostilities between nations,
governmental law, order or regulation, embargo, action by the government or any
agency thereof, act of God, storm, fire, accident, labor dispute or



                                       30    ***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
<PAGE>



strike, sabotage, explosion, or other similar or different contingencies, in
each case, beyond the reasonable control of the respective party.

         9.8 Independent Contractors. The relationship between the parties will
be that of independent contracting parties and nothing in this Agreement will be
construed to create any other relationship between CFFT and SGX. No party will
have the right, power or authority to assume, create or incur any expense,
liability or obligation, express or implied, on behalf of any of the other
parties.

         9.9 Severability. If any provision(s) of this Agreement will be held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, this
Agreement will continue in full force and effect without said provision.

         9.10 Notices. Any notices made pursuant to this Agreement will be in
writing and will be deemed effective when sent by nationally recognized
overnight express delivery service, registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, to the respective addresses specified below, or to

                                  Research Plan



3.8 1. OVERALL GOAL

The goal of the SGX-CFFT collaboration is to generate Lead Series that function
as "[...***...]" of (DELTA)F508 CFTR and have the potential to be optimized and
developed into therapeutics. The Plan involves applying SGX FAST( technology to
find novel small molecule structures that bind to []F508 NBD1 and that, when
optimized and tested in cells, reverse the effect of the F508 mutation.

This project will be initiated with parallel screens of the SGX FAST(TM)
Fragment Library (using compound mixtures) using [...***...] and [...***...]
with []F508 human NBD1 as the target. Fragments identified from the [...***...]
screen will be re-screened by [...***...]. All [...***...] hits will be
prioritized for elaboration into compounds with increased binding affinity to
[]F508 NBD1.


2. Overview of the FAST( Process

FAST(TM) begins with the establishment of robust methods for co-crystallization
and soaking to enable screening of the FAST(TM) fragment library against the
target.

Once the crystal soaking methods are developed at SGX, the FAST(TM) fragment
library is screened. This includes a crystallographic screen of fragment
mixtures ([...***...] fragments soaked with [...***...] crystal). Fragments
identified as binding to the target protein are reviewed and selected for
elaboration, using criteria such as [...***...], [...***...], [...***...] and
[...***...], and [...***...] in terms of chemical elaboration.

The FAST(TM) Fragment library is a collection of ~1000 diverse low molecular
weight compounds that represent ring systems typically found in drugs and
drug-like molecules. These fragments have been selected using specific
"lead-like" criteria, including:

         o [...***...]

         o [...***...]

         o [...***...]

         o [...***...], [...***...], [...***...], [...***...],
           [...***...].[...***...]

Each member of the FAST(TM) fragment library is amenable to rapid chemical
elaboration at two or three sites to provide access to enormous potential
chemical diversity using parallel organic synthesis. Initial fragment
elaboration involves using knowledge of the structure of the target-fragment
complex and advanced computational chemistry tools (MM/PBSA: Kollman et al, Acc.
Chem. Res. 2000, 33, 889-897) to guide synthesis of small, focused linear
(one-dimensional) libraries. Usually, these linearly elaborated




                                       37    ***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
<PAGE>



fragments are evaluated with in vitro biochemical assays and co-crystal
structure analyses to provide a set of compounds with enhanced activity and SAR.
In the case of (DELTA)F508 NBD1, however, [...***...]. Instead, we will use a
[...***...], and [...***...]) to assess [...***...]. Thereafter, optimal
variations at each point of chemical diversity are combined to synthesize
focused combinatorial (two- or three-dimensional) libraries that are again
evaluated with assays and X-ray crystallography. These focused combinatorial
libraries typically contain multiple novel compounds of low molecular weight
(<500Da) that bind the target protein with micromolar IC(50) values and
considerable selectivity. The deliverables from this process are compounds with
defined "lead-like" properties, target activity, SAR, and co-crystal structures.
The identified compounds can be further elaborated via parallel synthesis or
medicinal chemistry optimization to provide more optimized lead series. The
leads or lead series can be profiled and advanced based on cellular or
functional assays, animal efficacy models, in vitro and in vivo ADME and in
vitro toxicology studies in concert with structural information.

3. FAST(TM) APPLIED TO (DELTA)F508 NBD1

SGX and CFFT will collaborate on the discovery of Lead Series against
(DELTA)F508 NBD1 using the SGX FAST(TM) process. The crystal structure of
(DELTA)F508 human NBD1 has already been determined at SGX. A prime initial goal
of the collaboration will be to determine the [...***...] and [...***...] of
[...***...] on the [...***...] of the [...***...]. Information gained from this
early series of experiments will guide the selection of fragments for further
elaboration. Prioritization of the fragment selection and elaboration for the
various sites will occur through discussions with the Joint Research Committee
(JRC) throughout the course of the collaboration.

SGX will then apply its experience and expertise in high-throughput
crystallographic studies of protein-ligand complexes and integrated small
molecule design and discovery to rapidly identify one or more Early Lead Series
against (DELTA)F508 NBD1 which will subsequently be optimized to Lead Series as
defined in Appendix B.


3.1 TIMELINE

The projected timeline for the FAST(TM) project directed against (DELTA)F508
NBD1 is illustrated in the accompanying Project Timeline, with the goal of
identifying one or more Lead Series as defined in Appendix B.


3.2 FAST(TM) TARGET SELECTION AND FAST(TM) READINESS

3.2.1 Protein Production

SGX currently has established methods for producing a number of [...***...] and
[...***...] proteins in multi-milligram quantities. These quantities are
sufficient for all the crystallization trials and binding studies using mass
spectrometer analysis that are envisaged during the collaboration.

3.2.2 Screening for compounds that bind to (DELTA)F508 NBD1 using [...***...]

As there is no biochemical assay for compounds that bind to [...***...], we will
use an assay based on [...***...], in parallel with the crystallographic screen,
to detect FAST(TM) fragments that bind to (DELTA)F508 NBD1. For this, we will
[...***...] into [...***...] that are based on [...***...] and [...***...] by
[...***...]



                                       38    ***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
<PAGE>



[...***...] rather than on [...***...]. We will screen both wild type and
(DELTA)F508 NBD1 proteins in parallel in this assay as this will allow us to
determine, for the first time, whether there are differences in binding
properties between these proteins due to the loss of F508.

A brief description of the [...***...] process follows:

         o The [...***...]) is [...***...] from the FAST(TM) library, where each
           [...***...] of [...***...] (the number of [...***...] can be
           [...***...] if needed).

         o Appropriate [...***...] are [...***...].

         o [...***...] are [...***...] as the [...***...] of [...***...].

         o [...***...] to [...***...] are [...***...] by [...***...] and
           identified by [...***...].

         o [...***...] that [...***...] can be [...***...] in [...***...].

         o [...***...] will be followed up by [...***...].

We intend to use the [...***...] screen in parallel with the [...***...] screen.
Each approach will use [...***...]. However, the [...***...] will be different:
those for the [...***...] screen will be [...***...] based on the [...***...] of
the [...***...] while those used for [...***...] are [...***...] based on the
[...***...]. Following the [...***...] analysis on compound mixtures, we will
follow up hits with individual experiments on single compounds to confirm the
identity of the hits.

The JRC will review results and select [...***...] hits for follow-up in
crystallization trials to determine the precise location of the binding sites
and binding mode of the fragments.

3.2.3 Crystallization and Crystallography

SGX will develop appropriate crystallization, co-crystallization, soaking and
mixture soaking methods in-house to enable [...***...]. Activities will include:

         o Definition of [...***...] and [...***...] and [...***...]

         o Verification of [...***...], [...***...]

         o Development and optimization of [...***...]

The main goal is to be able to [...***...]. In the early stages of the work,
[...***...] will be attempted [...***...]. Our goal is to [...***...] from the
[...***...] (DELTA)F508 NBD1 protein, where [...***...]% of the [...***...] to
[...***...]. However, at a certain point the JRC may agree to move forward even
[...***...]%.


3.3 IDENTIFICATION OF INITIAL FRAGMENT HITS

>>       [...***...] of the SGX FAST(TM) Fragment library will be performed to
         provide initial Fragments for elaboration.

>>       Fragments may be identified as binding to multiple different sites on
         (DELTA)F508 NBD1. SGX will select [...***...] Initial Fragment Hits,
         distributed across the different binding sites, using criteria
         including [...***...]. SGX will generate plans to elaborate these
         fragments.

>>       Fragment hits identified by [...***...] will be tested by [...***...]
         and/or [...***...] to measure their binding affinity.



                                       39    ***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
<PAGE>




3.4  IDENTIFICATION OF ELABORATED FRAGMENTS

>>   The selected Initial Fragment Hits are computationally elaborated into
     virtual libraries with each segment/handle combination being elaborated
     independently to provide "linear libraries". The enumerated libraries are
     subjected to the SGX proprietary docking and scoring process (AGILE). The
     AGILE process involves:

     1.  Enumerating all possible [...***...] from [...***...] at each "handle".

     2.  Generating all [...***...] of each [...***...] in the context of the
         [...***...] and [...***...], based on the observed [...***...] of the
         [...***...].

     3.  [...***...] each [...***...] in the context of the [...***...].

     4.  Eliminating [...***...] with [...***...].

     5.  [...***...].

>>       The target library for the first round of synthesis is typically
         [...***...] compounds for each fragment / handle that is elaborated.

>>       SGX will synthesize these small parallel libraries of Linear Elaborated
         Fragments, [...***...] per "handle", using the computationally selected
         fragments (i.e., for a fragment with [...***...] "handles", [...***...]
         individual small libraries will be synthesized, one at each position -
         approximately [...***...] compounds per library).

>>       All linear library members will be tested by [...***...] and/or
         [...***...] to determine their binding affinity. Selected compounds
         with measurable affinity will be selected for cocrystal structure
         determination.

>>       SGX will perform co-crystal structure determinations for selected
         Linear Elaborated Fragments.

The fact that both [...***...] have [...***...] may be an issue. All [...***...]
will already have been [...***...] by their [...***...] in the [...***...] for
synthesis. We will need to obtain [...***...] for [...***...] and [...***...].
[...***...] will need to be compatible with the [...***...]; [...***...] will be
completed at a maximum rate of [...***...]. If [...***...] or [...***...]
threaten to become [...***...], one of the following alternative approaches will
be used:

i) If we have a [...***...] system, we will use [...***...] (we may need to
[...***...], just as with the FAST screening library; so [...***...] elaborated
compounds would be combined [...***...]) to identify [...***...] for follow-up
by [...***...] by [...***...] and/or [...***...]. The advantage of this approach
is that we will not [...***...] without [...***...]. We will also consider using
[...***...] as a [...***...] at the outset until we gain confidence in
[...***...] results. Or,

ii) Once the [...***...] of the [...***...] has been established, it will be
possible to [...***...] with [...***...] in a rapid fashion with a [...***...]
in a [...***...], and then select those compounds of interest for a [...***...].

3.5 COMBINATORIAL ELABORATED FRAGMENTS

                                       40    ***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
<PAGE>



>>       Based on the results from the characterization of Linear Elaborated
         Fragments, SGX will generate plans for the second stage of fragment
         elaboration (Combinatorial Elaborated Fragments). The effort will focus
         on elaboration of compounds targeting a single binding site (unless the
         JRC elects to the contrary) and will involve multiple elaborations of
         up to [...***...] Fragments subject to the outcome of the screening and
         linear library design experiments outlined above.

>>       SGX will computationally select (using the AGILE process described
         above) combinations of active Linear Elaborated Fragments for all
         points of diversity (handles) to design small, focused combinatorial
         libraries, for which two or more positions are varied simultaneously
         (approximately [...***...] compounds per library).

>>       SGX will synthesize small combinatorial libraries using parallel
         synthesis.

>>       All combinatorial library members will be tested by [...***...] and/or
         [...***...] to determine their binding affinity.

>>       [...***...] will perform [...***...] determinations for selected
         Combinatorial Elaborated Fragments.

>>       Depending on the results from these first Combinatorial Elaborated
         Libraries, we anticipate that [...***...].

The number of structure determinations, whether by [...***...] or by
[...***...], will depend on the answer to questions such as 3.4. We will submit
up to [...***...]% of [...***...]-active compounds per linear library for
soaking to obtain a representative sampling of the most active compounds.


3.6  OPTIMIZATION TO EARLY LEAD SERIES

>>       As necessary, additional optimization will be undertaken in order to
         obtain one or more Early Lead Series meeting the target criteria in
         Appendix B.

>>       Plans will be generated using a combination of structure-based design
         and parallel synthesis, with additional consideration of properties and
         medicinal chemistry design to address any identified liabilities of the
         Early Lead Series. This effort may include synthesis of smaller sets of
         compounds with specific functional group changes and/or replacements.
         Design efforts will continue to draw on data from co-crystal structures
         of Elaborated Fragments.

>>       SGX will prepare the representative members of the Early Lead Series
         and provide powder samples (up to 15mg) to CFFT for evaluation in
         cell-based assays.

>>       SGX will conduct a STN International search around Early Lead series.

>>       The JSC will review profiling data and compounds/series will be
         nominated as Early Lead Series meeting the defined criteria described
         in Appendix B.


3.7 [...***...] MEASUREMENT OF BINDING AFFINITIES AND CELL-BASED EVALUATION OF
COMPOUND ACTIVITY

The Research is dependent upon the availability of both [...***...] and
[...***...] assays to be provided by CFFT.

The [...***...] assay will be based either on [...***...] analysis, both of
which are capable of [...***...]. SGX will be responsible for providing samples
of both proteins and compounds for this assay.

The cell-based assay should be capable of detecting compounds with activities of
less than 10uM. Currently, the following types of assay, designed either to
demonstrate activity of compounds in cell lines expressing mutant CFTR or to
show specificity of action, are envisaged:



                                       41    ***CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
<PAGE>



         o        [...***...] or [...***...] to [...***...] and and [...***...]

         o        [...***...] by [...***...] in [...***...]

         o        [...***...] assays [...***...]

         o        [...***...] in the [...***...] assay to [...***...] in
                  [...***...] in the [...***...]

Responsibilities for establishing these assays are set out in Appendix E.

Once active compounds have been identified, the JRC will discuss potential
mechanism of action studies for evaluation of these series. These studies may
include protein folding studies. It is anticipated that these studies will be
outsourced and provision for the funding of the studies will be made in the
budgets for Years 2 and 3 as applicable.


3.8  OPTIMIZATION OF EARLY LEAD SERIES TO LEAD SERIES

Several parameters will be optimized to convert the early leads into late stage
leads suitable for consideration as potential development candidates. Thus, in
addition to continuing optimization of potency in the biochemical and cellular
assays, we will be optimizing for selectivity against criteria agreed to by the
JSC.

From the perspective of in vitro ADME, we will be designing and selecting lead
structures with acceptable plasma protein binding and metabolic profiles to
attain acceptable human in vivo bioavailability, and lack of CYP interactions to
obviate any potential drug/drug interactions. There will be a clearly defined IP
position with supportive patent filings, and a proven synthetic route for
obtaining pure grade material on a multi-gram scale.

3.9  POTENTIAL ADDITIONAL TARGETS

Although work on this project will start with (DELTA)F508 NBD1 as the target, it
may be replaced, at some stage, by another target(s). Replacement targets are:

         o [...***...]

         o [...***...]

Both of these targets are currently in the Research stage at SGX. The decision
to replace (DELTA)F508 NBD1 with one of the other targets will be made by the
JRC.
