entitled to receive any and all compensation described under this agreement,
provided that such compensation has not been previously paid to Employee prior
to his death or disability.  For the
purpose of this section, “disability” means any medical condition that
precludes Employee from completing his term of employment pursuant to this
Agreement.

11.           Limited Effect of Waiver. Should either Company or Employee
waive breach of any provision of this agreement by the other, that waiver will
not operate or be construed as a waiver of further breach.

12.           Severability. If, for any reason, any provision of this
agreement is held invalid, all other provisions of this agreement shall remain
in effect. If this agreement is held invalid or cannot be enforced, then to the
full extent permitted by law any prior agreement between the Company (and any
predecessor thereof) and the Employee shall be deemed reinstated as if this
agreement had not been executed.

 13.          Oral Modifications Not Binding/Amendment. This instrument is
the entire agreement of the Company and the Employee. Oral changes shall have
no effect.  This Agreement may be altered
only by a written agreement signed by both parties.

Company in this transaction.  Employee
consents to such representation and waives any conflict of interest as may be

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT

 THIS
AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into effective as
of this 28th day of  March, 2007 (the “Effective
Date”), by and between Tapestry Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”), and Martin Batt (“Executive”). 
This Agreement amends, restates, and replaces in its entirety that
employment agreement previously entered into between Tapestry and Executive as
of October 28, 2005 (the “Original Agreement”).  Certain capitalized terms used in this
Agreement have the meaning set forth in Paragraph 17 of this Agreement.

RECITALS

A.            WHEREAS, Executive is currently
employed by the Company pursuant to the terms of an employment agreement dated
October 28, 2005;

B.            WHEREAS, the Company desires to
secure the continued services of Executive as an employee of the Company, and
to provide for certain compensation and benefit arrangements for Executive in
the event of Executive’s termination of employment under certain circumstances,
and Executive is willing to enter into this Agreement and perform such services;
and

C.            WHEREAS, the Company and Executive
desire to amend the terms of Executive’s employment on the terms set forth
herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Executive hereby
amend, restate and replace the Original Agreement as follows:

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

In
consideration of the respective covenants and agreements of the parties
contained in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

                1.             Employment Services.  The Company hereby agrees to engage
Executive, and Executive hereby agrees to perform services for the Company, on
the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Company and Executive
agree that Executive will serve as an executive officer of the Company in the
position of Senior Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, or will have such
other executive title and such other executive duties, responsibilities and
authority as Executive and the Company may agree upon from time to time.  Executive will perform such services of an
executive and administrative character to the Company and its present or future
Subsidiaries consistent with the duties of the Company’s other executive
officers, as the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) may from time to
time direct (the “Employment Services”) or the Bylaws of the Company may
provide.

2.             At-Will Employment.  The Company
hereby agrees that it shall not terminate or alter Executive’s employment status
such that Executive is no longer eligible to receive Company benefits without
Cause prior to April 15, 2006.  After
April 15, 2006, it is understood and agreed
by the Company and Executive that this Agreement does not 

contain
any promise or representation concerning the duration of Executive’s employment
with the Company. Executive specifically acknowledges that his employment with
the Company is at-will and may be altered or terminated by either Executive or
the Company at any time, with or without cause and/or with or without notice.  The nature, terms or conditions of Executive’s
employment with the Company cannot be changed by any oral representation,
custom, habit or practice, or any other writing.  In addition, that the rate of salary, any
bonuses, paid time off, other compensation, or vesting schedules are stated in
units of years or months or weeks does not alter the at-will nature of the
employment, and does not mean and should not be interpreted to mean that
Executive is guaranteed employment to the end of any period of time or for any
period of time. In the event of conflict
between this disclaimer and any other statement, oral or written, present or
future, concerning terms and conditions of employment, the at-will relationship
confirmed by this disclaimer shall control. 
This at-will status cannot be altered except in a writing signed by
Executive and approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of
Directors”).

3.             Performance.

(a)  Executive shall report to the Chief Executive
Officer (or person acting in a similar capacity if the Company has no Chief
Executive Officer), and Executive shall devote his best efforts and his full
business time and attention to the business of the Company and its
Subsidiaries; provided, however, that upon prior agreement by the Chief
Executive Officer, and subject to the terms of this Agreement, Executive may
engage in independent activities in areas unrelated to the Company’s business
or the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated business; and provided,
further, that no such independent activities shall materially detract from the
essentially full time commitment of Executive to the business and affairs of
the Company. Executive shall perform his duties and responsibilities to the
best of his abilities in a diligent, trustworthy, businesslike and professional
manner.

(b)  Unless the Company and Executive otherwise
agree, Executive shall perform the Employment Services at the Company’s
executive offices and traveling on business as Executive and the Company shall
reasonably deem necessary.

time, then the Board), in its discretion, may award to Executive.  Payment of the Base Salary shall be subject

respect to compensation paid by a corporation to an employee, and such salary
to be paid at such periods as salary is paid to other executive officers of the
Company.

(b)  Executive may receive an annual bonus in such
amount, if any, as the Compensation Committee (or if the Board has no Compensation

(c)  The Executive may receive such stock options
(if any) during his employment as determined from time to time by the

time, then the Board).

adverse effect on the Company and which involves dishonesty, disloyalty or
fraud with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) conduct
bringing the Company or any of its Subsidiaries into substantial public
disgrace or disrepute, including, without limitation, such conduct resulting
from repeated acts of alcohol or drug abuse, or (iii) continued failure by

benefits, as determined under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”),
received or to be received by Executive in connection with the termination of
Executive’s employment (whether payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
or otherwise). At the same time, the Company shall advise Executive of the
portion of such payments or benefits which constitute parachute payments within
the meaning of the Code and which may subject Executive to the payment of
excise taxes pursuant to Section 4999 and the expected amount of such taxes
(such payments or benefits being hereinafter referred to as “Parachute Payments”).

(h)  If all or any portion of the payments or
benefits provided under this Agreement either alone or together with other
payments or benefits which Executive has received or is then entitled to
receive from the Company and any of its Subsidiaries would constitute Parachute
Payments, such payments or benefits provided to Executive pursuant to this
Agreement shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion thereof
shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code; but
only if, by reason of such reduction, Executive’s net after tax benefit shall
exceed the net after tax benefit if such reduction were not made. “Net after
tax benefit” shall mean the sum of (i) the total amount payable to Executive
pursuant to this Agreement, plus (ii) all other payments and benefits which
Executive has received or is then entitled to receive from the Company and any
of its subsidiaries that would constitute a Parachute Payment, less (iii) the
amount of federal income taxes payable with respect to the payment and benefits
described in (i) and (ii) above calculated at the maximum marginal income tax
rate for each year in which such payments and benefits shall be paid to
Executive (based upon the rate in effect for such year as set forth in the Code
at the Termination Date), less (iv) the amount of excise taxes imposed with
respect to the payments and benefits described in (j) and (ii) above by Section
4999 of the Code.

For purposes of this Agreement,
Executive’s base amount, the present value of the Parachute Payments, the amount
of the excise tax and all other appropriate matters shall be determined by the
Company’s independent auditors in accordance with the principles of Section
280G of the Code and based upon the advice of tax counsel selected by the
Company, which tax counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to Executive,
provided, however, that the applicable federal rate used for the purposes of
calculating the present value of the Parachute Payments shall be the federal
rate in effect on the date of this Agreement.

8.             Insurance.  The Company may, at its election and for
its benefit, insure Executive against accidental death, and Executive shall
submit to such physical examination and supply such information as may be
required in connection therewith.

9.             Non-disclosure
of Confidential Information.

(a)  Unless
Executive first secures written consent from the Company pursuant to procedures
implemented by Company after the date hereof, Executive shall not disclose or
use at any time, any Confidential Information (as defined in Paragraph 17)
except to the extent Executive reasonably believes is necessary to disclose or
use such Confidential Information in performing the Employment Services.
Executive further agrees that Executive will use Executive’s commercial best
efforts to safeguard the Confidential Information and protect it against
disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft, including, without limitation,
causing recipients of Confidential Information to enter into non-disclosure
agreements with the Company. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 10 and 13,
nothing herein shall be construed to prevent Executive from using Executive’s
general knowledge and skill after termination of this agreement, whether
Executive acquired such knowledge or skill before or during the his employment.

(b)  In the event the Company has entered into
confidentiality agreements with third parties (not including Company employees)
which contain provisions different from those set forth in this Agreement,
Executive agrees, in addition to the provisions of Paragraph 9(a), to comply
with any such different provisions of which Executive is notified by the
Company.

10.           Company
Ownership of Intellectual Property.  Executive hereby assigns to the Company all
right, title and interest in and to all Intellectual Property (as defined in
Paragraph 17) contributed to or conceived or made by Executive during the
Employment Period and prior to the Employment Period during the period

jointly with others) to the extent such Intellectual Property is not owned by
the Company as a matter of law. Executive shall promptly and fully communicate
to the Company all Intellectual Property conceived, contributed to or made by
Executive and shall cooperate with the Company to protect the Company’s
interests in such Intellectual Property including, without limitation,
providing assistance in securing patent protection and copyright registrations
and signing all documents reasonably requested by the Company, even if such
request occurs after Executive’s employment has terminated. The Company shall
pay Executive’s reasonable expenses of cooperating with the Company in protecting
the Company’s interests in such Intellectual Property unless the subject matter
of the requested cooperation is related to actions taken or failed to be taken
by Executive wrongfully or otherwise not in good faith.

11.           Executive’s
Rights.  Paragraph 10 of
this Agreement does not apply to an invention for which no equipment, supplies,
facilities or trade secret information of the Company was used and which was
developed entirely on Executive’s own time, unless (a) the invention relates
(i) to the business of the Company, or (ii) to the Company’s actual or
demonstrably anticipated material research or development, or (b) the invention
results from any work performed by Executive for the Company.

12.           Return
of Materials.  Upon termination
of Executive’s employment, regardless of reason,, or at any time reasonable

customer and supplier lists and all other materials containing any Confidential
Information. If the Company requests, Executive shall provide written
confirmation that Executive has returned all such materials. Subject to the
provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Paragraph 11,
notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, upon termination of
employment, the Company, at Executive’s request, shall promptly return to
Executive any equipment or other materials owned by Executive then being used
by or then in the possession of the Company.

13.           Non-Competition.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that
Executive is considered to be part of the professional, managerial and
executive staff of the Company whose duties include the formulation and
execution of management policy, and that in the course of Executive’s duties,
Executive is permitted access to Intellectual Property, which includes, among
other things, trade secrets of the Company that the Company seeks to protect from
dissemination and disclosure. Executive acknowledges and agrees that during  Executive’s employment and for a period of one
year thereafter (the “Non-compete Period”), Executive will not, without the
prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, provide products
or services substantially similar to the Employment Services to any business or

demonstrably anticipated material research and development during Executive’s
employment with the Company, including without limitation, paclitaxel, taxanes
and any other compounds, within any geographical area in which the Company or
any of its subsidiaries provide or plan to provide such products or services.

14.             Non-Solicitation.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that
during the Non-compete Period, Executive will not (a) solicit, induce or attempt
to induce, directly or indirectly, any employee of the Company to leave the
employment of the Company to work for Executive or for any other person, firm
or corporation or (b) hire any employee of the Company.

15.           Acknowledgment
of Reasonableness.  Executive
acknowledges and agrees that the limitations set forth in Paragraphs 13 and 14
are reasonable with respect to scope, duration and geographic area and are
