    Vesting
      Schedule:

     

     

    This
      Option shall vest and may be exercised, in whole or in part, in accordance
      with
      the following schedule: This option will vest at the rate of 6,944.45 option
      shares per month during the next 36 months, subject to the Optionee continuing
      to be a Service Provider on each such dates.

     

    Acceleration
      of Vesting. If within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, the
      Company or the successor corporation terminates the Optionee’s status as a
      Service Provider for other than Cause, death or Disability, then the Optionee
      shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise the Option as to 100% of
      the
      Optioned Stock as of the date of such termination. For purposes of this
      provision, “Change of Control” shall mean (i) the consummation of a merger or
      consolidation of the Company with any other corporation which results in the
      voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto failing
      to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting
      securities of the surviving entity) more than fifty percent (50%) of the total
      voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such
      surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation
      or
      (ii) the consummation of the sale or disposition by the Company of all or
      substantially all of the Company's assets. The Optionee acknowledges that the
      provisions of this paragraph shall have no effect on the any resale restriction
      provisions relating to the shares underlying the Option. 

     

    No
      right
      to any stock is earned or accrued until such time that vesting occurs, nor
      does
      the grant confer any right to continue vesting or employment. 

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Termination
      Period

     

    This
      Option may be exercised for three (3) months after Optionee ceases to be a
      Service Provider in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement. Upon the death
      or Disability of the Optionee, this Option may be exercised for one (1)
      year after
      the
      Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider in accordance with Sections 9 and
      10 of
      this Agreement. In no event shall this Option be exercised later that the

    11. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization,
      Dissolution, Merger or Asset Sale.
      

     

    (a) Changes
      in Capitalization.
      Subject
      to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of shares
      of Common Stock covered by this Option, as well as the price per share of Common
      Stock covered by this Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase
      or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a
      stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or
      reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in
      the
      number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of
      consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any
      convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected
      without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Board,
      whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.
      Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of
      stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class,
      shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect
      to,
      the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to this
      Option.

     

    (b) Dissolution
      or Liquidation.
      In the
      event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Board
      shall
      notify Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such
      proposed transaction. The Board in its discretion may provide for the Optionee
      to have the right to exercise his or her Option until fifteen (15) days prior
      to
      such transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock covered thereby, including
      Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable. To the extent
      it has not been previously exercised, the Option will terminate immediately
      prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (c) Merger
      or Asset Sale.
      In the
      event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale
      of substantially all of the assets of the Company, this Option shall be assumed
      or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent
      or
      Subsidiary of the successor corporation. If, in such event, this Option is
      not
      assumed or substituted, the Board shall notify the Optionee in writing or
      electronically as to the number of Shares underlying this Option that are vested
      and exercisable and this Option shall be exercisable to the extent vested
      (unless the Board allows the Optionee to exercise with respect to additional
      unvested Shares) for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice,
      and this Option shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the
      purposes of this paragraph, the Option shall be considered assumed if, following
      the merger or sale of assets, the option confers the right to purchase or
      receive, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to this Option immediately
      prior to the merger or sale of assets, the consideration (whether stock, cash,
      or other securities or property) received in the merger or sale of assets by
      holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the
      transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type
      of
      consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares);
      provided, however, that if such consideration received in the merger or sale
      of
      assets is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent,
      the Board may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the
      consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option, for each Share
      of
      Optioned Stock subject to the Option, to be solely common stock of the successor
      corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share
      consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or sale of
      assets.

     

    12. Notices.
      Any
      notice to be given to the Company hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
      addressed to the Company. at its then current principal executive office or
      to
      such other address as the Company may hereafter designate to the Optionee by
      notice as provided in this Section. Any notice to be given to the Optionee
      hereunder shall be addressed to the Optionee at the address set forth beneath
      Optionee’s signature hereto, or at such other address as the Optionee may
      hereafter designate to the Company by notice as provided herein. A notice shall
      be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or mailed by
      registered or certified mail to the party entitled to receive it.

     

    13. Withholding
      Taxes.
      The
      Optionee agrees to make appropriate arrangements with the Company (or the Parent
      or Subsidiary employing or retaining the Optionee) for the satisfaction of
      all
      federal, state, local and foreign income and employment tax withholding
      requirements applicable to the Option exercise. The Optionee acknowledges and
      agrees that the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver
      the Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of
      exercise.

     

    14. Entire
      Agreement; Governing Law.
      This
      Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the
      subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings
      and
      agreements of the Company and Optionee with respect to the subject matter
      hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Optionee’s interest except by
      means of a writing signed by the Company and Optionee. This Agreement is
      governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules,
      of
      California.

      Option for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view

      referred to herein, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer”
instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers
      its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in
      its own records.

     

    (c) Refusal
      to Transfer.
      The

    In
      connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned
      Optionee represents to the Company the following:

     

    (a) Optionee
      is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has
      acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and
      knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Optionee is acquiring these
      Securities for investment for Optionee’s own account only and not with a view
      to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the
      meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
      Act”).

     

    (b) Optionee
      acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute “restricted
      securities” under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the
      Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption
      depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Optionee’s investment
      intent as expressed herein. In this connection, Optionee understands that,
      in
      the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the statutory basis for
      such
      exemption may be unavailable if Optionee’s representation was predicated solely
      upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains
      period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an
      increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period
      of
      one year or any other fixed period in the future. Optionee further understands
      that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently
      registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such regis-tration
      is
      available. Optionee further acknowledges and understands that the Company is
      under no obligation to register the Securities. Optionee understands that the
      certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which
      prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such
      regis-tra-tion is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
      Company, and any other legend required under applicable state securities
      laws.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (c) Subject
      to restrictions on transfer contained in the stock option agreement between
      the
      Company and Optionee, the Securities may be resold in certain limited
      circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the
      Securities Act (“Rule 144”), which requires the resale to occur not less
      than one year after the later of the date the Securities were sold by the
      Company or the date the Securities were sold by an affiliate of the Company,
      within the meaning of Rule 144; and, in the case of acquisition of the
      Securities by an affiliate, or by a non-affiliate who subsequently holds the
      Securities less than two years, the satisfaction of the following conditions:
      (1) the resale being made through a broker in an unsolicited “broker’s
      transaction” or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term
      is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934); and, in the case of
      an
      affiliate, (2) the availability of certain public information about the
      Company, (3) the amount of Securities being sold during any three month period
      not exceeding the limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (4) the timely
      filing of a Form 144, if applicable. 

     

    (d) Optionee
      further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of
      Rule 144 is not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act,
      compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be
      required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive,
      the
      Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that
      persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a
      registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a
      substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration
      is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their
      respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own
      risk.
      Optionee understands that no assurances can be given that any such other
      registration exemption will be available in such event.

     

    (e) In
      the
      event the purchase of the Securities by Optionee from the Company is not
      registered under the Securities Act, Optionee shall not sell, pledge, agree
      to
      sell or otherwise transfer the Securities (a “Transfer”) unless Optionee first
      (i) delivers to the Company a written notice to Optionor and Optionee describing
      the Transfer and (ii) provides to the Company evidence satisfactory to the
      Company that the Transfer will be made pursuant to an exemption from
      registration under federal and state securities laws, including, if requested
      by
      the Company, an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that
      such exemption will allow Optionee to complete the Transfer without registration
      under federal and state securities laws.

    If a
Development Product is sold in any country in a form which physically or
chemically combines one or more therapeutically active ingredients to the
Compound component of a Development Product (“Combination Products”), the
Net Sales will be calculated by multiplying the actual Net Sales of the
Combination Product by the fraction A/(A+B), where A is the average invoice
price in the applicable country of the Development Product when comprising the
Compound component only in a comparable formulation, and B is the sum of the
average invoice prices in the applicable country of all other therapeutically or
prophylactically (non-Compound) active ingredients or products in the
Combination Product sold separately in a comparable formulation, during the
applicable calendar year.  If A or B cannot be determined because
values for the Development Product or the other active ingredients sold alone
are not available in a particular country, then A or B, as the case may be,
shall be the weighted average of the prices (in effect with respect to the
period for which royalties are being calculated hereunder) at which the
Development Product (when comprising the Compound component only) or the other
(non-Compound) active ingredients are sold alone in the dosage included in the
Combination Product in comparable markets.  In the event that no
Development Products (when comprising the Compound component only) or other
(non-Compound) active ingredients are sold alone in any country, the Parties
shall negotiate in good faith an allocation of the fair market value of the
Compound component of Development Product in the Combination
Product.  If the Parties are unable to reach agreement then the matter
shall be referred to a person suitably qualified to determine the matter (as
appointed by agreement of the Parties).  Such person shall act as an
expert and not as an arbitrator and his or her decision shall be binding on the
Parties (save in the case of negligence or manifest error) including as to the

    5.1.1           GLGC
will make the following non-refundable, non-creditable payments in the amounts
set forth below within 30 days of the occurrence of the following
events:

    GLGC will
only pay a milestone for the first time that a particular milestone event is
achieved for a Development Candidate on an indication by indication
basis.  However, and as an example, if GLGC initiates two Phase III
trials for different therapeutic indications for a Development Candidate, GLGC
will be obligated to pay [REDACTED] upon enrollment in each of such trials, for
a total of [REDACTED] to be paid to MLNM.

     

    5.1.2           In
addition to the milestones set forth in Section 5.1.1, GLGC will make the
following non-refundable, non-creditable payments in the amounts set forth below
within 30 days of the occurrence of the following events related to a
Development Candidate that incorporates a Biotherapeutic Compound:

              [REDACTED]

            

    

     

    GLGC will
only pay such milestone for the first time that a particular milestone event is
achieved for a Development Candidate that incorporates a Biotherapeutic Compound
on an indication by indication basis.  However, and as an example, if
GLGC files two INDs for different therapeutic indications for a single
Development Candidate incorporating a Biotherapeutic Compound, GLGC will be
obligated to pay [REDACTED] to MLNM.

     

    
      5.2           Royalties.  GLGC
will pay to MLNM a royalty based on aggregate, worldwide Net Sales of each
Development Product for each calendar year as follows:

       

      5.2.1                      [REDACTED]%
of aggregate, worldwide Net Sales of a Development Product for such calendar
year that are less than or equal to [REDACTED];

       

      5.2.2                      [REDACTED]%
of aggregate, worldwide Net Sales of a Development Product for such calendar
year that are greater than [REDACTED] and less than or equal to
[REDACTED];

       

      5.2.3                      [REDACTED]%
of aggregate, worldwide Net Sales of a Development Product for such calendar
year that are greater than [REDACTED] and less than or equal to
[REDACTED];

       

      5.2.4                      [REDACTED]%
of aggregate, worldwide Net Sales of a Development Product for such calendar
year that are greater than [REDACTED].

       

    

    5.3           Royalty
Payments.  GLGC will pay the royalties under Section 5.2 to
MLNM within 60 days of the end of each calendar quarter.  Each such
payment will be accompanied by a detailed calculation of the Net Sales and the
royalties due thereon, including the destination of such sales grouped with
subtotal detail showing the country and state locations.  GLGC will
provide any additional documentation to support the royalty calculation as is
reasonably requested by MLNM, subject to confidentiality obligations that may be
owed to third parties with respect to information used in those
calculations.  The rate of exchange to be used in computing Net Sales
generated in currency other than U.S. Dollars and the amount of currency
equivalent in U.S. Dollars due to GLGC will be made at the rate of exchange,
calculated as the average of the sales and the purchase exchange rate, quoted
for the close of business on the last day of business of the applicable royalty
period in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition.

    5.4           Royalty
Term.  Royalties on Development Products shall be payable on a
country-by-country and Development Product-by-Development Product basis until
the later of (i) the expiration of the term of Millennium Patent Rights in each
such country to the extent only that a Valid Claim of such Millennium Patent
Rights exists in such country which covers the Development Product or the
manufacture of the Development Candidate or (ii) [REDACTED] years after First
Commercial Sale of the Development Product, provided however a) if the End of
Regulatory Exclusivity for a particular Development Product in a particular
country occurs during the [REDACTED] years after First Commercial Sale of the
Development Product or immediately if regulatory exclusivity is unavailable in
such country, the royalty rates described in Sections 5.2.3 and 5.2.4 above for
such Development Product in such country will thereafter be reduced to
[REDACTED]% of aggregate Net Sales, and b) [REDACTED] years after the First
Commercial Sale of such Development Product in such country the royalty rates
described in Sections 5.2.1 and 5.2.2 above will thereafter be reduced to
[REDACTED]% and the royalty rates described in Sections 5.2.3 and 5.2.4 above
will thereafter be reduced to [REDACTED]% of aggregate Net Sales of such
Development Product in that country.

     

    5.5           Non-Stacking and No Royalty
Offsets.  Preexisting MLNM obligations related to a Development
Candidate, including obligations to Abbott Laboratories, will be maintained by
MLNM and will not affect GLGC’s milestone payments or royalty rates described
above.  GLGC shall be responsible for any other third party
obligations that may pertain to the development and commercialization of any
Development Candidate, and GLGC shall not be entitled to deduct, for any reason,
any portion of royalties paid to any such third party from royalties due to
Millennium pursuant to this Agreement.

     

    5.6           Taxes.  All amounts
payable by GLGC to MLNM under this Agreement will be made, so long as payments
are received in the United States, without deduction or withholding of any
applicable sales, use and other taxes (except as provided in this Section 5.6
below) and all applicable export and import fees, customs, duties and similar
charges.  However, in the event that any royalties or payments due to
MLNM are subject to withholding income tax required by United States law to be
paid to the United States government, the amount of such tax may be withheld
from the applicable royalties or payment due MLNM.  GLGC shall
promptly pay such tax on behalf of MLNM and shall furnish MLNM with a
certificate of withholding tax as proof of payment that such tax was so
deducted.  GLGC may not deduct any other withholding or any other
governmental charges from the payments agreed upon under this
Agreement.  GLGC shall maintain official receipts of payment of any
such withholding taxes and shall forward such receipts to MLNM.

     

    5.7           Method of Payment; Late Payments;
Interest. Any payments due to MLNM under this Agreement will be made in
U.S. Dollars by wire transfer to a bank account designated by
MLNM.  Any portion of any fee or other amount payable under this
Agreement that is not paid when due will accrue interest at one and one-half
percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law,
whichever is less, from the due date until paid.

     

    5.8           Bookkeeping and Audit Rights.
GLGC will maintain complete and accurate financial records in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles during the Term (as defined in Section
9.1) and for a period of one (1) year after the termination or expiration of
this Agreement with respect to matters covered by this
Agreement.  MLNM will have the right, at its own expense, upon
reasonable prior notice, no more than once per year to engage an independent,
nationally-recognized accounting firm to inspect and audit the records of GLGC
solely with respect to matters covered by this Agreement, provided that if such
inspection and audit reveals that GLGC has underpaid MLNM with respect to any
amounts due and payable under this Agreement, GLGC will promptly pay such
amounts as are necessary to rectify such underpayment, together with interest in
accordance with Section 5.7.  If an inspection and audit reveal that
any such underpayments are greater than [REDACTED] of the amount actually due
for a calendar year, GLGC also will reimburse MLNM all of the costs for such
inspection and audit.

    6.1           Ownership of Proprietary
Information.  The Parties acknowledge that during the Term,
each Party will have access to certain of the other Party’s Proprietary
Information.  Both Parties agree that all items of Proprietary
Information are proprietary to the disclosing Party, and will remain the sole
property of the disclosing Party.

     

    6.2           Mutual Confidentiality
Obligations.  Each Party agrees as follows: (a) to use
Proprietary Information disclosed by the other Party only for the purposes
described herein; (b) that such Party will not reproduce Proprietary Information
disclosed by the other Party, and will hold in confidence and protect such
Proprietary Information from dissemination to, and use by, any third party; (c)
that neither Party will create any derivative work from Proprietary Information
disclosed to such Party by the other Party; (d) to restrict access to the
Proprietary Information disclosed by the other Party to such of its personnel,
agents, and/or consultants, if any, who have a need to have access and who have
been advised of and have agreed in writing to treat such information in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (e) to return or destroy all
Proprietary Information disclosed by the other Party, at such other Party’s
request, that is in its possession upon termination or expiration of this
Agreement.

     

    6.3           Exclusions.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any information of a Party will not be deemed Proprietary
Information with respect to the receiving Party for purposes of this Agreement
if such information:

     

    (a)           was
already known or available to the receiving Party or its Affiliates, other than
under an obligation of confidentiality or non-use for the benefit of the
disclosing Party or its Affiliates, at the time of disclosure to the receiving
Party;

     

    (b)           was
generally available or known to parties reasonably skilled in the field to which
such information pertains, or was otherwise part of the public domain, at the
time of its disclosure to the receiving Party;

     

    (c)           became
generally available or known to parties reasonably skilled in the field to which
such information pertains, or otherwise became part of the public domain, after
its disclosure to the receiving Party through no fault of or breach of its
obligations under this Section 6 by the receiving Party; or

     

    (d)           was
disclosed to the receiving Party or its Affiliates, other than under an
obligation of confidentiality or non-use, by a Third Party who had no obligation
to the disclosing Party not to disclose such information to others;
or

     

    (e)           was
independently discovered by the receiving Party or its Affiliates, without use
of or reference to the disclosing Party’s Proprietary Information.

     

    6.4           Permitted
Disclosures.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may
disclose Proprietary Information to the limited extent necessary (a) to comply
with the order of a court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental body
having authority over such Party, provided that the Party making the disclosure
pursuant to the order will first have given notice to the other Party and made a
reasonable effort to obtain a protective order; (b) to comply with applicable
law or regulation requiring such disclosure; or (c) to establish a Party’s
rights under this Agreement, including to make such court filings as it may be
required to do.

     

    6.5           Publicity.  Neither
Party shall have the right to originate any publicity, news release or other
public announcement, written or oral, relating to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereunder, without the prior written consent of the
other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.  Such
consent or the withholding of consent shall be communicated in writing to the
requesting Party within a specified review period (“Review Period”) that is five
(5) business days, with the exception that for an oral disclosure by a Party
based on scripted material (such as a conference script) and the publicly
disclosable facts set forth in the attached Exhibit 6.5 the
Review Period shall be forty-eight (48) hours, and either Party may disclose the
publicly disclosable facts in Exhibit 6.5 to
respond to questions from analysts, investors, the media or other third parties
without further review by the other Party (provided the other Party has
previously reviewed and consented to scripted material that led to such
questions), or as otherwise required by law.  The other Party’s
failure to communicate in writing within the applicable Review Period shall be
deemed that Party’s consent.  Either Party may publicly disclose
without regard to the preceding requirements of this Section 6.5 information
that was previously disclosed in a public disclosure that was in compliance with
such requirements.  Nothing in this Section 6.5 shall be deemed to
prevent GLGC from announcing publicly a) that it has entered into a Development
Arrangement or achieved a development milestone on one or more Development
Candidates or Development Products, or b) the status or strategy of its
development efforts, including information related to disease indications being
pursued.

    8.2           Initial Right to
Enforce.  Subject to Section 8.3 below, GLGC shall have the
first right to initiate a suit or take other appropriate action that it believes
is reasonably required to protect its interests in the GLGC Development Field
and MLNM shall have the first right to initiate a suit or take other appropriate
action that it believes is reasonably required to protect its interests outside
the GLGC Development Field.

     

    8.3           Step-In Right.  If a
first party fails to initiate a suit or take other appropriate action that it
has the first right to initiate pursuant to Section 8.2 above within 90 days
after becoming aware of the basis for such suit or action, then the other party
may, in its discretion, provide the first party with written notice of its
intent to initiate suit or take action.  If the other party provides
such notice and the first party fails to initiate suit or take other appropriate
action within 30 days after receipt of such notice (which period may be extended
an additional 30 days at the request of the first party provided such extension
does not materially prejudice the rights of the other party), then the other
party has the right to initiate suit or take other appropriate action that it
believes is reasonably necessary to protect its interests.

     

    8.4           Conduct of Certain Actions;
Costs.   The party initiating suit shall have the sole and
exclusive right to select counsel for any suit initiated by it pursuant to
Sections 8.2 or 8.3.  If required under applicable law in order for
the initiating party to initiate and/or maintain such suit, the other party
shall join as a party to the suit.  The initiating party shall assume
and pay all of its out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with any
litigation or proceedings initiated by it, as well as the other party’s expenses
unless the other party elects to retain its own counsel.  The other
party will have the right to participate and be represented by its own counsel
at its own expense.  Regardless of whether a party is joined in a suit
or other proceeding, neither party shall enter into any settlement, consent
judgment or other voluntary final disposition of any infringement action under
this paragraph that would be materially prejudicial to the other party without
the other party’s prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed.  The proceeds of any such settlement, consent judgment or
other voluntary final disposition under this paragraph will be applied in
accordance with the principals set forth in Section 8.5 below.

     

    8.5           Recoveries.  With
respect to any suit or action referred to in Sections 8.2 and 8.3, any recovery
obtained as a result of any proceeding, by settlement or otherwise, shall be
applied in the following order of priority:

     

    (a)           first,
the Parties shall be reimbursed for all costs incurred in connection with such
proceeding paid by the Parties and not otherwise recovered;

     

    (b)           second,
any recovery for infringing activities in the GLGC Development Field shall be
retained by GLGC;

     

    (c)           third,
any recovery for infringing activities relating to Oncology Diseases shall be
retained by MLNM;

     

    (d)           fourth,
only if recovered in a suit initiated prior to September 30, 2008, any recovery
for infringing activities relating to Obesity, Type 1 Diabetes or Type 2
Diabetes shall be retained by MLNM; and

     

    (e)           fifth,
any remainder shall be paid 75% to the party initiating the suit or action and
25% to the other party.

    9.1           Term.  Unless
terminated earlier in accordance with the following provisions of this clause,
this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in effect
until the later of (a) ten (10) years after the Effective Date, or (b) the last
to expire claim in the MLNM Patent Rights, or (c) the end of the Royalty Term
set forth in Section 5.4 (the “Term”).

    9.2           Termination for
Breach.  Any failure by a Party to comply with any of its
material obligations contained in this Agreement shall entitle the Party not in
default to give to the Party in default written notice specifying the nature of
the default and requiring the defaulting Party to make good or otherwise cure
such default.  If, after a Party’s receipt of notice pursuant to this
Section 9.2, such default has not been cured within sixty (60) days (unless such
Party can demonstrate good faith efforts to cure, in which case the default
period shall be extended an additional 30 days) then the Party not in default
shall be entitled, on written notice to the other Party and without prejudice to
any other rights available to it by law or in equity, to terminate this
Agreement with immediate effect.

     

    9.3           Effect of Termination.
Termination shall be without prejudice to the rights, remedies, obligations, and
liabilities of either Party which may have accrued on or at any time up to the
date of termination.  Breach or termination of this Agreement or of
any right hereunder shall not give rise to a right by either Party to seek
rescission of or to void or unwind under any theory the transactions
contemplated under the Purchase Agreement, and shall have available to it the
remedies provided by law other than those remedies.

     

    9.4           Survival.  The
provisions of Articles 6, 10, 11, 12, and 13 along with Sections 4.5, 5.8, and
this Section 9.4, together with any definitions used or exhibits, schedules, or
appendices referenced therein, shall survive any termination or expiration of
this Agreement.

              INDEMNIFICATION;
      PROCEDURES

            

    

     

    10.1           Indemnification.  Each
Party hereby covenants and agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the
other Party, the other Party's affiliates, and their respective directors,
officers, employees, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and
against all claims, suits, actions, liabilities, losses, costs, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, expenses, judgments and damages incurred by any of them as a
result of any claims by third parties in tort, contract or otherwise arising in
any way out of (a) a breach of the Indemnifying Party's (defined below)
representations and warranties hereunder, or (b) any gross negligence or wilful
misconduct by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party or its sublicensees; but
excluding any such claim to the extent arising out of either the breach of a
representation and warranty made by the Indemnified Party or the gross
negligence of or wilful misconduct by any Indemnified Party.

     

    10.2           Indemnification
Procedures.  In the case of any claim asserted by a third party
against an Indemnified Party, notice will be given by the Indemnified Party to
the Party obligated to provide indemnification under Section 10.1 (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly
after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which
indemnity may be sought, and the Indemnified Party will permit the Indemnifying
Party (at its expense) to assume the defense of any claim or any litigation
resulting therefrom; provided that (a) the counsel for Indemnifying Party who
will conduct the defense of such claim or litigation will be reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, (b) the Indemnified Party may participate
(but not control) in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s expense, and (c)
the omission by any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein will not
relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this
Agreement except to the extent that such omission results in a failure of actual
notice to the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party is materially
prejudiced by such failure to give notice.  Except with the prior
written consent of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party, in the defense
of any such claim or litigation, will not consent to entry of any judgment or
enter into any settlement that provides for injunctive or other non-monetary
relief affecting the Indemnified Party or that does not completely release the
Indemnified Party.  The Indemnified Party will not settle or
compromise any claim by a third party for which the Indemnified Party is
entitled to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Indemnifying Party if the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of
such claim in accordance with this Section 10.2.  In the event that
the Indemnifying Party does not promptly accept the defense of any matter as
above provided and thereafter diligently conduct such defense, the Indemnified
Party will have the full right to defend against any such claim or demand and
will be entitled to settle or agree to pay in full such claim or demand and to
recover any amounts paid plus all reasonable expenses (including attorneys'
fees) from the Indemnifying Party.  In any event, if the Indemnifying
Party promptly undertakes the defense of any claim and thereafter diligently
conducts such defense, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will
cooperate in the defense of any claim or litigation subject to this Section 10.2
and the records of each will be available to the other with respect to such
defense.

                11.  

              	
                LIMITATION
      OF LIABILITY; INSURANCE

              

      

       

    

    11.1           Limitation of
Liability.  IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE
OTHER PARTY FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, OR FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED, ON ANY THEORY OF
LIABILITY AND WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGES, ARISING UNDER ANY CAUSE OF ACTION AND ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF
THIS AGREEMENT.  THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL NOT APPLY TO DAMAGES
ARISING FROM A BREACH OF SECTION 6 OR AN AWARD OF ENHANCED DAMAGES AVAILABLE
UNDER THE PATENT LAWS FOR WILLFUL PATENT INFRINGEMENT AND WILL NOT LIMIT EITHER
PARTY’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS TO ANY OTHER PARTY UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT.

     

    11.2           Essential Basis of Agreement.
The Parties acknowledge and agree that the disclaimers, exclusions and
limitations of liability set forth in this Section 11 form an essential basis of
this Agreement, and that, absent any of such disclaimers, exclusions or
limitations of liability, the terms of this Agreement, including, without
limitation, the economic terms, would be substantially different.

     

    11.3           Insurance.  For its
development and commercialization activities, GLGC will be responsible for
providing adequate insurance coverage in such amounts and subject to such
deductibles as are prevailing in the industry from time to time, and provided
that it is reasonably available at reasonable rates, GLGC shall maintain a
minimum of an aggregate of [REDACTED] in general compensation liability
insurance, an aggregate of [REDACTED] in product liability insurance prior to
the start of a Phase III trial of a Development Candidate and an aggregate of
[REDACTED] in product liability insurance as of the start of a Phase III trial
of a Development Candidate.  GLGC will name MLNM as an additional
insured on any such policies.

              REPRESENTATIONS AND
      WARRANTIES.

            

    

     

    12.1           Mutual
Representations.  Each Party represents and warrants that (i)
it has the full right, power, and authority to enter into this Agreement and
(ii) the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement by such Party
shall not constitute or result in a violation, breach, or default under the
terms of any indenture, agreement (written or oral), instrument, understanding,
or other obligation or restriction to which each Party is a party or by which
each is bound.

     

    12.2           Disclaimer of
Warranty.  THE EXPRESS REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES STATED IN
THIS SECTION 12 AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR NON-MISAPPROPRIATION OF THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY.

demands, waivers and other communications required or permitted to be given

              GENERAL

            

    

     

    14.1           Relationship of
Parties.  The Parties hereto expressly understand and agree
that the Parties are not joint venturers, partners or agents of each
other.  Neither Party has the authority to bind, enter into contracts
or make representation on behalf of the other Party.  Each Party is
responsible for all of its employees and third parties it may use to perform on
its behalf.

     

    14.2           Choice of Law.  This
Agreement shall be construed and the respective rights of the parties determined
according to the substantive laws of the State of Delaware notwithstanding the
provisions governing conflicts of laws under such Delaware law to the
contrary.

     

    14.3           Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy
Code.   All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant
to any section of this Agreement are and shall otherwise be deemed to be for
purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), licenses of
rights to “intellectual property” as defined in Section 101(35A) of the
Bankruptcy Code.  The parties shall retain and may fully exercise all
of their respective rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code.

     

    14.4           Severability.  If
any provision of this Agreement, including any phrase, sentence, clause, section
or subsection is inoperative or unenforceable for any reason, such circumstances
will not have the effect of rendering the provision in question inoperative or
unenforceable in any other case or circumstance, or of rendering any other
provision or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative, or unenforceable
to any extent whatsoever.

     

    14.5           Binding
Effect.  This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties and their respective legal representatives, successors
and permitted assigns.

     

    14.6           Headings.  Paragraph
headings are inserted for convenience of reference only and do not form a part
of this Agreement.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        15

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    14.7           Counterparts.  This
Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of
which will be deemed an original.

     

    14.8           Amendment,
Waiver.  This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded or
cancelled, and any of the terms may be waived, only by a written instrument
executed by each party or, in the case of waiver, by the party or parties
waiving compliance.  The delay or failure of any party at any time or
times to require performance of any provisions will in no manner affect the
rights at a later time to enforce the same.  No waiver by any party of
any condition or of the breach of any term contained in this Agreement, whether
by conduct, or otherwise, in any one or more instances, will be deemed to be, or
considered as, a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or of the
breach of such term or any other term of this Agreement.

     

    14.9           No Third Party
Beneficiaries.  No third party including any employee of any
Party to this Agreement, will have or acquire any rights by reason of this
Agreement.  Nothing contained in this Agreement will be deemed to
constitute the parties partners with each other or any third party.

     

    14.10                      Assignment and
Successors.  This Agreement may be assigned by either Party to
an Affiliate or in the case of a merger, reorganization or acquisition of all or
substantially all of its assets or (in the case of GLGC) the assets related to
GLGC’s DRS business.  Either Party may subcontract or assign part or
all of its rights and obligations under this agreement to a third party with
prior, advance written notice to the other Party.  Notwithstanding the
previous sentence, if a Party seeks to subcontract or assign any rights or
obligations related to the Development Candidates, the other Party may seek to
block such subcontract or assignment by reasonably demonstrating, within thirty
(30) days after receipt of notice, a material detrimental impact to the rights
and obligations that are the subject of the proposed subcontract or
assignment.

     

    14.11                      Force
Majeure.  Neither MLNM nor GLGC will be liable for failure or
delay in performing obligations set forth in this Agreement, and neither will be
deemed in breach of its obligations, if such failure or delay is due to nature
disasters or any causes reasonably beyond the control of MLNM or
GLGC.

     

    14.12                      No Partnership.  It
is expressly agreed that the relationship between GLGC and MLNM shall not
constitute a partnership, joint venture or agency.  Neither GLGC nor
MLNM shall have the authority to make any statements, representations or
commitments of any kind, or to take any action, which shall be binding on the
other, without the prior consent of the other Party to do so.

     

    14.13                      Entire
Agreement.  This Agreement, including any Schedules and
Exhibits attached hereto (each of which is hereby incorporated herein by
reference), sets forth the entire Agreement and undertaking between the Parties
as to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior discussions and
negotiations relating to the subject matter hereof.  No variation or
amendment of this agreement shall bind either Party unless made in writing and
agreed to in writing by duly authorized officers of both
Parties.  Nothing in this Agreement is intended to amend or supersede
any term of the Asset Purchase Agreement between the parties dated July 22, 2004
as amended June 29, 2006.

     

    

    

    IN WITNESS
WHEREOF this Agreement has been executed the day and year first above written,
through their duly authorized representatives.
