Clinical Trial after the review pursuant to Section 4.05(c);
and
(vi) assist, as reasonably requested by Genentech or its permitted
sublicensees, in filing of regulatory applications (as
described in Sections 4.01(iv)) by allowing Genentech and its
permitted sublicensees to cross reference or otherwise get the
benefit of relevant CTI regulatory filings, if any, solely for
use in connection with the development, use or sale of
Licensed Product.
Each Party shall keep records of all Clinical Development Expenses
incurred by it and shall provide the other Party with a reasonably detailed
accounting setting forth such Clinical Development Expenses within sixty (60)
days of the end of each calendar quarter during which such expenses are
incurred. Each Party shall have the
* Confidential Treatment Requested

right, one time annually, upon written request and after reasonable notice, to
audit the other Party's records of its Clinical Development Expenses.
Neither CTI nor Genentech shall be responsible for expenses incurred by
the other Party not in the agreed-upon budgets for Clinical Development
Expenses.
4.04 SHARING OF DATA. Each Party shall promptly and thoroughly disclose
to the other all information and data relating to Licensed Products (but
excluding information regarding fiber or implant manufacture and any Factor(s)
not currently under development hereunder) resulting from any activities
undertaken as a result of the Development Program or the Clinical Development
Program. In addition, each Party shall promptly disclose to the other Party all
safety and toxicity information it obtains on the Factor(s) currently under
development hereunder from human clinical studies or pre-clinical studies (where
such clinical or pre-clinical data is or should, under applicable laws and
regulations, be filed as part of a U.S. IND or as part of a subsequent
regulatory document including a Submission). Absent agreement to the contrary,
all such information and data shall be considered Genentech or CTI Knowhow, as
the case may be, and held confidential pursuant to Section 9.01.
4.05 REVIEW OF RESULTS; GENENTECH RIGHTS. The Parties shall review the
results of each of the following promptly upon completion of the following:
(a) The [ * ] (as each are described in the Development Plan);
(b) The Initial Clinical Trial; and
(c) The first Phase II Trial which will allow the Parties to meet
with the FDA to discuss the first U.S. Phase III Clinical
Trial.
Genentech shall have the right in its sole discretion to decide whether or not
the Parties shall continue the development of Licensed Product hereunder, after
each of the reviews set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above; as provided in
Section 2.03 above, after a Genentech decision (if any) to proceed forward after
the review under Section 4.05(c), both Parties shall have an equal vote in
decisions affecting a U.S. Clinical Phase III Trial. If Genentech decides to
continue the development of Licensed
* Confidential Treatment Requested
19
20
Product after each of the reviews referred to above, the Parties shall proceed
with the Development Program (in the case of (a)) or the Clinical Development
Program (in the case of (b) and (c)). If Genentech decides not to proceed with
the Development Program and Clinical Development Program, as the case may be,
the Parties shall in good faith consider alternatives, including without
limitation, modifying the Development Program and Clinical Development Program
and/or licensing CTI to make, use and sell Licensed Product, or terminating this
Agreement under Section 10.06(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Genentech shall
not be obligated to grant CTI a license. If the Parties do not agree to work
together further as provided in Section 10.06(a), either Party shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.06(a).
4.06 SUPPLY AGREEMENT. Genentech and CTI shall negotiate in good faith
a supply agreement for Clinical Product for Genentech and its permitted
sublicensees for clinical trials outside the United States at such time as
Genentech believes it is appropriate but no later than [ * ] after a decision
by Genentech, if any, under Section 4.05(b) to proceed with the Clinical
Development Program (the "Clinical Supply Agreement") and a supply agreement for
Commercial Product for Genentech and its permitted sublicensees (the "Commercial
Supply Agreement") at such time as the Development Committee believes it is
appropriate, provided that negotiations for the Commercial Supply Agreement
shall begin no later than the commencement of the first Phase II Clinical Trial
and conclude no later than [ * ] prior to the expected commencement of the
first Phase III Clinical Trial. The Parties shall use their best efforts to
conclude the Clinical Supply Agreement within 90 days after Genentech's
decision, if any, under Section 4.05(b) to proceed forward with the Clinical
Development Program. CTI shall have the obligation to supply Genentech and its
permitted sublicensees as provided herein and in such supply agreements. For
purposes of this Agreement and each Supply Agreement, for supply of Clinical
Product and Commercial Product by CTI to Genentech and its permitted
sublicensees, CTI shall be entitled to CTI's Fully Burdened Manufacturing Cost
for such Clinical Product, and, commencing with the First Commercial
Introduction of the Licensed Product that is such Commercial Product, CTI's
Fully Burdened Manufacturing Cost for such Commercial Product. The parties
recognize that as part of such supply, there will be risks due to carrying
inventory. Inside the United States, the Parties will apportion that inventory
risk in proportion to the relevant profit participation of each Party pursuant
to Sections 8.02 and 8.04. Outside the United States, such inventory risk
* Confidential Treatment Requested
20
21
shall be borne by Genentech pursuant to Sections 8.03 and 8.04. For these
purposes, "inventory risk" shall be the risk of loss for Licensed Product
subsequent to delivery of such Licensed Product to Genentech pursuant to a
binding purchase order from Genentech.
At the time the Parties begin to negotiate the Commercial Supply
Agreement, they shall negotiate and agree in good faith a cap on both CTI's
Fully Burdened Manufacturing Costs and Genentech's Sales, General and
Administrative Expense. If either Party subsequently determines in good faith
that its costs for these items will exceed the agreed upon cap, subject to
review and approval by the Finance Committee, the Parties shall agree in writing
to adjust the cap upward to equal the actual costs, for the period of time in
which they exceed that cap.
At the time the Parties enter into either Supply Agreement, they shall
discuss whether and under what terms Genentech may purchase a joint ownership
interest in the facilities producing Licensed Product.
In addition to the above terms, the Commercial Supply Agreement shall
contain a provision setting forth the minimum purchases that Genentech and its
permitted sublicensees (in the aggregate) shall be required to make thereunder
and the minimum supply capacity CTI must maintain to supply Licensed Product
hereunder. Genentech, on behalf of itself and its permitted sublicensees, shall
make first estimates (based on market projections) for purposes of required
minimum purchases at the time of Genentech's entering into the Supply Agreement,
and annually thereafter. CTI intends to use such estimates to determine the
capacity of the plant it must build. Accordingly, CTI will not be required to
produce more than [ * ] but shall be required to produce at least [ * ], of
Genentech's purchase estimate, on behalf of itself and its permitted
sublicensees, made closest to, but not less than, 18 months prior to First
Commercial Introduction for each of the first three years that it supplies
Commercial Product to Genentech and its permitted sublicensees. Actual purchases
of Licensed Product supplied by CTI shall be pursuant to firm purchase orders
from Genentech, but for purposes of maintaining the foregoing capacity
protections for each Party in the Commercial Supply Agreement the Parties shall
agree upon appropriate percentages beyond which such firm orders for supply of
Licensed Product may not vary (above or below) the [ * ] range of the previously
provided estimates, and CTI shall be obligated to supply, and Genentech (on
behalf of itself and its permitted sublicensees)
* Confidential Treatment Requested
21
22
shall be obligated to purchase at least [ * ] of amounts of Licensed Product
under such firm purchase orders in accordance with the foregoing and the
"inventory risk" provisions set forth above in this Section 4.06. Genentech
shall be permitted to revise its minimum purchase projections yearly, but such
revision shall not affect the maximum amount of Commercial Product CTI must
supply for the first three years. The Supply Agreement shall also provide for
good faith, rolling forecasts covering a time period of at least 24 months with
maximum supply obligations determined so as to allow Genentech and its permitted
sublicensees to meet market needs and allow CTI reasonable time to build,
validate and obtain approval of necessary facilities to supply Licensed Products
in the Territory. The Supply Agreement shall contain a provision to protect CTI
against idle plant capacity after expansion of such facilities, to the extent
such facilities were built to supply such Licensed Product (with reasonable
apportionment where other parties, including CTI, are also supplied by such
plant capacity). The Supply Agreement shall provide that CTI shall treat
Genentech and its permitted sublicensees as CTI's highest priority customer for
supply of Licensed Product, and shall provide for flexibility for Genentech and
its permitted sublicensees to change purchase orders and require CTI to promptly
replace non-conforming or otherwise defective product supplied thereunder.
In addition, each Supply Agreement shall contain provisions regarding
breach similar to those set forth in this Agreement, including those governing
the transfer of manufacturing technology from CTI to Genentech for manufacture
of Licensed Product in the Territory and shall provide that a breach under such
Supply Agreement shall be a breach hereunder. During the period of such a
transfer, CTI shall continue to treat Genentech on behalf of it and its
permitted sublicensees as its highest priority customer for supply of Licensed
Product. The Parties agree that the technology transfer will involve the need
for CTI employees to train Genentech employees. CTI will pay the salaries of its
employees doing such training, and Genentech will pay the salaries of its
employees receiving such training as well as all expenses incurred in
constructing a Genentech facility for producing Licensed Product.
4.07 (a) FUNDING OF DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE INITIAL CLINICAL TRIAL.
Pursuant to Section 8.01(a), Genentech has agreed to purchase the agreed-upon
amount of Common Stock to provide funding for Development Expenses. If CTI
reasonably determines that Development Expenses will exceed those previously
agreed-upon, it shall notify Genentech. The Parties shall meet and agree if
additional
* Confidential Treatment Requested
22
23
Development Expenses beyond those agreed-upon will be required. If the Parties
agree additional Development Expenses will be incurred and on the amount of such
additional Development Expenses, to the extent that such agreed-upon CTI
Development Expenses will exceed the funding provided by Genentech's equity
purchase pursuant to Section 8.01(a), Genentech shall purchase sufficient
additional equity, pursuant to an agreement in the form of the Stock Purchase
Agreement and at a price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the 20 Day
Average of CTI's Common Stock, to fund in advance, the remainder of such
agreed-upon CTI Development Expenses. In no case shall CTI be required to fund
such additional expenses unless Genentech, in fact, makes the additional equity
purchase contemplated hereunder to cover such Development Expenses.
If the amount of funding received by CTI pursuant to Sections 4.07(a)
and 8.01(a) exceeds the Development Expenses incurred by CTI through the
completion of analysis of the results of the Initial Clinical Trial or as of any
earlier termination of the Development Program or this Agreement, CTI shall
provide written notice to Genentech of the amount of such "overfunding". CTI
shall apply such "overfunding" to the Clinical Development Expenses to be
incurred by CTI under Section 4.07(b), except as otherwise provided hereinbelow,
and except that if such "overfunding" totals [ * ] or less, CTI shall be
entitled to retain such excess and shall not be required to apply it against any
future work under this Agreement or against redemption of CTI's Common Stock as
otherwise provided hereinbelow. Subject to the foregoing, if the amount of such
funding under Sections 4.07(a) and 8.01(a) exceeds the Development Expenses
incurred by CTI and CTI cannot apply such "overfunding" to the Clinical
Development Expenses to be incurred because (i) Genentech has determined
pursuant to Section 4.05 not to proceed forward with the Clinical Development
Program or (ii) this Agreement has been terminated at any time for any other
reason (except termination by CTI in accordance with this Agreement due to
Genentech's uncured default, in which case the provisions of this paragraph
shall apply except that CTI shall be entitled to retain "overfunding" in an
amount equal to CTI's already incurred costs for its work under this Agreement),
then Genentech shall have the rights and CTI the obligations set forth
hereinbelow. If Genentech so requests in writing within sixty (60) days after,
as applicable, Genentech's decision under Section 4.05 not to proceed forward or
the effective date of termination of this Agreement (except as otherwise
provided above with respect to Genentech's uncured default), within thirty (30)
days after such request CTI shall pay such overfunding
* Confidential Treatment Requested
23
24
amount to Genentech against Genentech's delivery to CTI of that number of shares
of CTI's Common Stock equal to such overfunding amount divided by the price for
such Common Stock paid by Genentech under Section 8.01(a) (or, if such
overfunding is attributable only to CTI's receipt of additional funding from
Genentech under 4.07(a), the price paid for such Common Stock under Section
4.07(a)). In calculating the overfunding amount, CTI shall calculate the total
amount of expenses incurred by CTI hereunder based on the total expenses
incurred for performance of the tasks approved by the Development Committee
(without regard to categories of budgeted amounts).
(b) FUNDING OF DEVELOPMENT THROUGH PHASE II CLINICAL TRIAL ANALYSIS.
Upon Genentech's decision pursuant to Section 4.05(b) to commence the Clinical
Development Program, pursuant to Section 8.01(b) Genentech will purchase Common
Stock pursuant to an agreement in the form of the Stock Purchase Agreement, in
an amount equal to the agreed-upon Phase II Clinical Development Expenses. If
CTI reasonably determines that its Phase II Clinical Development Expenses will
exceed those previously agreed-upon (subject to the following paragraph), it
shall notify Genentech. The Parties shall meet and agree if additional Phase II
Clinical Development Expenses beyond those agreed-upon will be required. If the
Parties agree additional Phase II Clinical Development Expenses will be incurred
and on the amount of such additional expenses, to the extent that such
agreed-upon CTI Phase II Clinical Development Expenses will exceed the funding
provided by Genentech's equity purchase pursuant to Section 8.01(b), Genentech
shall purchase sufficient additional equity, pursuant to an agreement in the
form of the Stock Purchase Agreement and at a price equal to one hundred percent
(100%) of the 20 Day Average of CTI's Common Stock, to fund, in advance, the
remainder of such agreed-upon CTI Phase II Clinical Development Expenses. In no
case shall CTI be required to fund such additional Phase II Clinical Development
Expenses unless Genentech, in fact, makes the additional equity purchase
contemplated hereunder to cover such Phase II Clinical Development Expenses.
If the amount of funding received by CTI pursuant to Sections 4.07(a)
and (b) and 8.01(b) exceeds the Development Expenses and Clinical Development
Expenses incurred by CTI through the completion of analysis of the results of
the last Phase II Clinical Trial of a Licensed Product prior to commencement of
funding under Section 4.07(d), or as of any earlier termination of the Clinical
Development Program or this
24
25
Agreement, CTI shall provide written notice to Genentech of the amount of such
"overfunding". CTI shall apply such "overfunding" to CTI's share of the U.S.
Phase III Clinical Development Expenses to be borne by CTI pursuant to Section
4.07(d), except that if such "overfunding" totals [ * ] or less, CTI shall be
entitled to retain such excess and shall not be required to apply it against any
future work under this Agreement or redemption of CTI's Common Stock as
otherwise provided hereinbelow. Subject to the foregoing, if the amount of
funding under Sections 4.07(a) and (b) and 8.01(b) exceeds the Development
Expenses and Clinical Development Expenses incurred by CTI and CTI cannot apply
such "overfunding" to its share of the U.S. Phase III Clinical Development
Expenses to be borne by CTI because (i) Genentech has determined pursuant to
Section 4.05 not to proceed forward with the Clinical Development Program or
(ii) this Agreement has been terminated at any time for any other reason (except
termination by CTI in accordance with this Agreement due to Genentech's uncured
default, in which case the provisions of this paragraph shall apply except that
CTI shall be entitled to retain "overfunding" in an amount equal to CTI's
already incurred costs for its work under this Agreement), then Genentech shall
have the rights and CTI the obligations set forth hereinbelow. If Genentech so
requests in writing within sixty (60) days after, as applicable, Genentech's
decision under Section 4.05 not to proceed forward or the effective date of
termination of this Agreement (except as otherwise provided above with respect
to Genentech's uncured default), within thirty (30) days after such request CTI
shall pay such overfunding amount to Genentech against Genentech's delivery to
CTI of that number of shares of CTI's Common Stock equal to such overfunding
amount divided by the price for such Common Stock paid by Genentech under
Section 8.01(b) (or, if such overfunding is attributable only to CTI's receipt
of additional funding from Genentech under 4.07(b), the price paid for such
Common Stock under 4.07(b)). In calculating the overfunding amount, CTI shall
calculate the total amount of expenses incurred by CTI hereunder based on the
total expenses incurred for performance of the tasks approved by the Development
Committee (without regard to categories of budgeted amounts).
(c) RECORDS. In connection with any application of "overfunding" to
future work or redemption of CTI Common Stock as provided in Sections 4.07(a) or
(b), CTI shall keep complete and accurate records of its expenses hereunder, and
Genentech shall have the right, upon written request after reasonable notice, to
have an independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to CTI,
review such records for the
* Confidential Treatment Requested
25
26
purposes of verifying such "overfunding", if any. This right may not be
exercised more than once in any calendar year. Results of such review shall be
made available to both Parties. The provisions of Sections 4.07(a), (b) and (c)
regarding overfunding shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
(d) FUNDING OF U.S. PHASE III CLINICAL DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. If
Genentech decides to continue the Clinical Development Program after the review
under Section 4.05(c), the Parties shall agree on a budget for U.S. Phase III
Clinical Development Expenses. As provided below in this Section 4.07(d), CTI
shall pay [ * ] of the agreed-upon U.S. Phase III Clinical Development Expenses;
such [ * ] shall be financed by Genentech providing CTI with a revolving line of
credit in the principal amount of the to be agreed-upon [ * ] of U.S. Phase III
Clinical Development Expenses (less the amount of any overfunding, if any,
applied by CTI as provided in Section 4.07(b)), which line of credit shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to LIBOR (as quoted
for one month in The Wall Street Journal) plus [ * ] compounded quarterly.
Subject to Section 10.07(a), such revolving loan shall be repaid in full (and
shall not be available for further borrowing by CTI) within [ * ] days after the
earlier of (i) seven (7) years from the date funds are first drawn down under
such line of credit or (ii) the earlier of (A) of the completion of the analysis
of all U.S. Phase III Clinical Trial(s) directed by the Development Committee,
(B) termination of the last U.S. Phase III Trial (if terminated prior to its
term), or (C) termination of this Agreement (as provided in Section 10.07
(a)(ii)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, under the loan documentation to be
entered into by the Parties, in the event of any event of default under such
loan documentation, including any CTI failure to repay the total amount of the
loan (principal plus interest) then outstanding, Genentech shall have the right
to convert the total amount of the loan outstanding into registered shares of
Common Stock of CTI.
Such revolving loan may be prepaid by CTI at any time; CTI shall give
Genentech at least [ * ] days notice of any such prepayment. CTI may make any
payment under such loan in whole or in part by issuing to Genentech shares of
CTI stock, which shall be valued at price per share equal to one hundred percent
(100%) of the 20 Day Average of CTI's Common Stock. The loan under the revolving
line of credit shall be unsecured and fully subordinated to all other CTI
liabilities.
* Confidential Treatment Requested

27
At the time, if any, that Genentech elects to proceed under Section
4.05(c) to a U.S. Phase III Clinical Trial, the Parties shall agree on any
additional necessary terms of the line of credit.
The Parties expect to pay for U.S. Phase III Clinical Development
Expenses equally. The Parties shall invoice each other for actual U.S. Phase III
Clinical Development Expenses; [ * ] is payable by Genentech. Genentech shall
pay the full amount it owes under such invoices and shall draw down from the
line of credit the amount CTI owes under such invoices, as contemplated by this
Section 4.07(d). If at any time either Party has paid more than its share of
such expenses, as provided in this Agreement, the Parties shall fairly adjust
the reimbursement of such expenses.
Each Party shall keep complete and accurate records of the latest three
(3) years of its U.S. Phase III Clinical Development Expenses. Each Party shall
have the right at its own expense to have an independent certified public
accountant, reasonably acceptable to the other Party, review such records upon
reasonable notice and during reasonable business hours for the purposes of
verifying reimbursement hereunder. This right may not be exercised more than
once in any calendar year. Results of such review shall be made available to
both Parties. If the review reflects an overpayment of U.S. Phase III Clinical
Development Expenses by either Party, any such overpayment shall be promptly
remitted to the other Party with interest as provided in Section 8.04. If the
overpayment is equal to or greater than five percent (5%) of invoiced U.S. Phase
III Clinical Development Expenses, the overpaying Party shall be entitled to
have the other Party pay all of the costs of such review. The provisions of this
Section 4.07(d) shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Genentech decides not to file or to continue to prosecute a patent application
claiming such Encapsulation Technology. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Parties shall assist each other to the maximum extent reasonable in securing
intellectual property rights resulting from activities conducted hereunder.
Either Party may withdraw from or abandon any jointly-owned patent or patent
application, on notice to the other providing a free-of-charge option to assume
the prosecution and/or maintenance thereof at its own cost and expense.

7.05 INFRINGEMENT OF SOLE PATENTS. If a Party considers that any of the
Patent Rights of the other is being infringed by a third party, the former shall
promptly notify the latter and shall provide it with any evidence of any
infringement which is reasonably available. The Party owning the Patent Rights
shall have the first opportunity at its own expense to attempt to remove such
infringement by appropriate steps including suit. In such event, the other Party
will assist in taking such steps, including suit, within reasonable limits, and
any amount recovered as a result thereof shall be for the account of the Party
owning the Patent Rights. In the event the Party owning the Patent Rights fails
to take appropriate steps, including suit and legal action with respect to any
such infringement within a period of six months following such notice of
infringement, the other Party shall have the right to take any appropriate
steps, including suit, against the infringer at its own expense and in its name.
In such event, the owner of the Patent Rights shall assist the Party bringing
suit as reasonably requested and shall permit the Party bringing suit to use its
name in the suit. The expenses reasonably incurred in taking such steps,
including suit and legal action, and any amount recovered as a result thereof
shall be for the account of the Party taking such action, and the Party not
taking such action shall be reimbursed for its out-of pocket expenses in
connection with such suit or action.
7.06 INFRINGEMENT OF JOINT PATENT RIGHTS. In the event that any
jointly-owned Patent Right shall be infringed, then the Parties agree to consult
with each other as to the best manner in which to proceed. Should the Parties
fail to agree on a joint program of action and the understanding relating
thereto with respect to distribution of expenses and recoveries, then either
Party shall have the right to enforce such jointly-owned patent at its sole
expense and any recovery shall be first applied to reimbursing the Party for the
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in bringing such suit or action and the
remainder, if any, shall be divided appropriately between the Parties with
reference to the relative monetary injury suffered by each by reason of the past
infringement for which said amounts are recovered. The other Party shall agree
to be joined in such suit and may, at its option, be represented by counsel of
its choosing and at its own expense.
7.07 THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. Subject to the other
terms of this Agreement, each of the Parties shall be responsible for [ * ]
hereunder. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party of it becoming aware
of

PAYMENTS AND PROFIT SHARING
8.01 EQUITY INVESTMENT.
(a) Initial Equity Purchase. Pursuant to an agreement in the form of
the Stock Purchase Agreement, Genentech shall purchase Eight Million Three
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($8,300,000) worth of CTI Common Stock on the date
approximately thirty (30) days after the execution of this Agreement by both
Parties, at a price per share equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the 20
Day Average of CTI's Common Stock. For purposes of the foregoing, the Parties
agree that the 20 Day Average shall be calculated using the 10 trading days
prior to the public announcement of this Agreement and the 10 trading days on
and after the announcement of this Agreement. In addition Genentech shall
purchase additional stock, if necessary, pursuant to Section 4.07(a), at a

33
34
Section 4.07(b), at a price per share equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the
20-Day Average of CTI's Common Stock on a purchase date to be agreed upon.
8.02 NET PROFITS INSIDE THE UNITED STATES. Commencing with the First
Commercial Introduction of a Licensed Product in the United States and subject
to the other terms of this Agreement, during the term of this Agreement, CTI
shall be entitled to [ * ] of the Net Profits for each Licensed Product sold or
disposed of for value in the United States by Genentech and its permitted
sublicensees and Genentech shall be entitled to [ * ] of such Net Profits; CTI
shall also be entitled to payment for such License Product, if supplied by CTI
hereunder, as provided in Section 4.06 and the Commercial Supply Agreement.
If in any Accounting Period "Net Profits" are negative, such loss
shall, for CTI, be carried forward and offset against CTI's share of future Net
Profits. Such loss shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a
rate equal to LIBOR (for one month as quoted in The Wall Street Journal) plus
[ * ] compounded quarterly.
8.03 NET SALES OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES. Commencing with the First
Commercial Introduction of the Licensed Product outside the United States and
subject to the other terms hereof (including, without limitation, Section
10.04), during the term of this Agreement, Genentech agrees to pay CTI, as
consideration for the rights granted hereunder, [ * ] of Net Sales of Licensed
Product by Genentech and its sublicensees in the Territory outside the United
States and (ii) payment for such Licensed Product, if supplied by CTI hereunder,
as provided in Section 4.06 and the Commercial Supply Agreement.
8.04 PAYMENT DATES AND STATEMENTS. Within sixty (60) days of the end of
each Accounting Period in which Net Sales occurred for purposes of Section 8.02
and ninety (90) days of the end of each Accounting Period in which Net Sales
occurred for purposes of Section 8.03, Genentech shall calculate all amounts
owed by Genentech to CTI under Section 8.02 or 8.03 and shall send to CTI the
net amount owed to CTI or, if appropriate, a statement of the loss carried
forward by Genentech on behalf of CTI plus interest thereon as specified herein.
Such payment shall be accompanied by a statement for the Accounting Period
showing the calculation of the amount owed and for each country in the
Territory, the total Net Sales of each Licensed Product by
* Confidential Treatment Requested
34
35
Genentech and its permitted sublicensees, the exchange rate used to directly
convert any of the above amounts into U.S. Dollars, and, in the case of Net
Sales inside the United States, the Cost of Sales for each Licensed Product
during that Accounting Period, the Sales, General and Administrative Expense
(and the calculation thereof), the Launch Expenses, the Phase IV Clinical Trial
Expenses, the Net Profit, and the amount of any CTI loss carried forward. For
purposes of determining when a sale of a Licensed Product occurs, the sale shall
be deemed to occur on the date the Licensed Product is shipped to a third party.
Any payment owed under Section 8.02 or 8.03 that is not paid on or before the
date such payment is due under this Agreement shall bear interest, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, at two percentage points (2%) over the prime rate
of interest as reported by Bank of America NT&SA in San Francisco, California
from time to time, calculated on the number of days such payment is delinquent.
8.05 RECORDS AND ACCOUNTING
(a) Genentech and its permitted sublicensees shall keep complete and
accurate records of the latest three (3) years of Net Sales and, for sales of
Licensed Products in the United States, Cost of Sales, Sales, General and
Administrative Expense, Launch Expenses and Phase IV Clinical Trial Expenses.
CTI shall have the right at its own expense to have an independent, certified
public accountant, reasonably acceptable to Genentech (or any relevant
sublicensee), review such records upon reasonable notice and during reasonable
business hours for the purposes of verifying royalties payable to CTI, Net
Sales, and Net Profits. This right may not be exercised more than once in any
calendar year. Results of such review shall be made available to both Parties.
If the review reflects an underpayment of royalties or Net Profits to CTI, such
underpayment shall be promptly remitted to CTI with interest as provided in
Section 8.04. If the underpayment is equal to or greater than five percent (5%)
of Net Profits that was otherwise due, CTI shall be entitled to have Genentech
pay all of the costs of such review. If the review reflects an overpayment of
royalties and Net Profits to CTI, royalties and Net Profits for the period of
such overpayment shall be recalculated and any amount due to Genentech shall be
promptly paid.
(b) CTI and its permitted sublicensees shall keep complete and accurate
records of the latest three (3) years of Fully Burdened Manufacturing Cost, and
shall provide Genentech with a report setting forth all such items within
forty-five (45) days of
35
36
the end of each Accounting Period. Genentech shall have the right at its own
expense to have an independent, certified public accountant, reasonably
acceptable to CTI, review such records upon reasonable notice and during
reasonable business hours for the purposes of verifying the Fully Burdened
Manufacturing Cost. This right may not be exercised more than once in any
calendar year. Results of such review shall be made available to both Parties.
If the review reflects an overpayment of the Fully Burdened Manufacturing Cost
to CTI, such overpayment shall be promptly refunded to Genentech with interest
as provided in Section 8.04. If the overpayment is equal to or greater than five
percent (5%) of the Fully Burdened Manufacturing Cost, Genentech shall be
entitled to have CTI pay all of the costs of such review. If the review reflects
underreporting of CTI's Fully Burdened Manufacturing Cost, Fully Burdened
Manufacturing Cost for the period of such underreporting shall be re-calculated
and any amounts due to CTI shall be promptly paid.
8.06 CURRENCY OF PAYMENTS. All payments under this Agreement shall be
made in United States Dollars by check or wire transfer (or such other
reasonable means as a receiving Party may direct) to such bank account as may be
designated from time to time. Any payments due hereunder on Net Sales outside of
the United States shall be payable in United States Dollars calculated pursuant
to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied at the
rate of exchange of the currency of the country in which the Net Sales were
made, with such rate as is equal to the average of the rates reported in The
Wall Street Journal for the first and last business day of the Accounting Period
for which the Net Profit Amount or royalties are payable.
8.07 TAX WITHHOLDING. If any withholding taxes are required under the
applicable laws of any country or any applicable treaty on royalty payments made
hereunder, the selling Party will pay such taxes to the proper taxing authority
and such tax payment will be deducted by the selling Party from the royalty
payable to the owed Party. Written documentation of any such payment sufficient
to satisfy the reasonable requirements of an appropriate tax authority
concerning an application by the owed Party for a foreign tax credit for such
payment or for similar treatment shall be secured and sent to the owed Party.
The selling Party agrees to take such reasonable and lawful steps as the owed
Party may request to minimize the amount of withholding taxes that must be paid
pursuant to any applicable treaty to the extent permitted by such treaty. If
either Party to this Agreement, by reason of the assignment of its rights
36
37
under this Agreement, as specified in Section 11.02, increases the withholding
tax payable by the non-assigning Party in any taxing jurisdiction, then the
assigning Party agrees to pay the non-assigning Party an amount which, net of
any tax benefits which the non-assigning Party may use, would be the same as if
the assignment had not occurred.
8.08 FINANCE COMMITTEE.
In connection with the sharing of Net Profits contemplated under
Section 8.02, within thirty (30) days after Genentech's notice of exercise of
its right to continue the Clinical Development Program after the review under
Section 4.05(c), the Parties will establish a joint finance committee (the
"Finance Committee"), to be comprised of two (2) representatives appointed and
replaced by each Party. Such representatives will include individuals with
expertise and responsibilities in the areas of accounting, cost allocation,
budgeting or financial reporting. The Finance Committee will meet as requested
by either Party by notice to the other Party (but in any event not more
frequently than quarterly), at such times and locations as are reasonably
acceptable to the Parties. All decisions and recommendations of the Finance
Committee shall require the agreement of a majority of the representatives of
each Party to be effective. In the event the representatives of the two Parties
cannot agree on a matter, a member of senior management of each party shall
confer and resolve the dispute. For this purpose, a "member of senior
management" shall be a management-level employee who has the authority to bind a
Party. If the members of senior management do not resolve such dispute within 60
days of such objection, the Parties shall attempt to resolve such dispute in
accordance with Sections 11.19 and 11.20. The Finance Committee shall address
financial, budgeting and accounting issues which arise in connection with the
sharing of Net Profits contemplated under Section 8.02 above (including, without
limitation, review of the Parties' respective cost structures and generally
accepted accounting principles and other practical aspects of implementation of
the terms of this Agreement and the amount of Cost of Sales, Fully Burdened
Manufacturing Cost, Sales, General and Administrative Expense, Launch Expenses
and Phase IV Clinical Trial Expenses) and the proper allocation of such costs in
determining Net Profits. The Finance Committee (if any) automatically will cease
to operate upon the expiration of the term of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX
CONFIDENTIALITY AND DISTRIBUTION OF KNOWHOW
9.01 NON-DISCLOSURE. Except to the extent expressly authorized by this
Agreement, the Parties agree that, for the term of this Agreement and for seven
years thereafter (15 years in the case of manufacturing technology), the
receiving Party shall keep completely confidential and shall not publish or
otherwise disclose and shall not use for any purpose other than as contemplated
by this Agreement any information furnished to it by the other Party pursuant to
this Agreement (other than to employees or consultants on a need-to-know and
confidential basis), except to the extent that it can be established by the
receiving Party by competent proof that such information:
(a) was already known to the receiving Party, other than under an
obligation of confidentiality, at the time of disclosure by the other Party;
(b) was generally available to the public or otherwise part of the
public domain at the time of its disclosure to the receiving Party;
(c) became generally available to the public or otherwise part of the
public domain after its disclosure and other than through any act or omission of
the receiving Party in breach of this Agreement; or
(d) was subsequently lawfully disclosed to the receiving Party by a
third party.
Information that is disclosed other than in written form shall be
subject to the terms of this Section 9.01 only if confirmed in writing within
thirty (30) days of disclosure and specifying that such information is subject
to this Agreement. Each Party may disclose the other's information to the extent
such disclosure is reasonably necessary in filing or prosecuting patent
applications, prosecuting or defending litigation, complying with applicable
governmental regulations or conducting clinical trials, provided that, if a
Party proposes to make any such disclosure of the other Party's secret or
confidential information, it will give reasonable advance notice to the other
Party of such disclosure and, save to the extent inappropriate in the case of
patent applications, will use its best efforts to secure confidential treatment
of such information required to be disclosed. A Party may disclose confidential
information to
38
39
a potential sublicensee or assignee to the extent reasonably required to
negotiate a sublicense or assignment permitted hereunder; provided, however,
that such potential sublicensee or assignee shall first execute a binding
confidentiality agreement of term and scope at least as restrictive as the terms
of this Article IX, and which confidentiality agreement shall expressly provide
that the non-disclosing Party is intended to be a third-party beneficiary
thereof.
9.02 PUBLICATION. Notwithstanding Section 9.01, each Party shall be
free to publish the results of its activities conducted hereunder, to the extent
that publication will not result in the disclosure of otherwise confidential
data or Knowhow and will not conflict with the terms of the Neurturin MTA.
Subject to the foregoing, at least 30 days prior to making any such publication
(14 days in the case of an abstract), the publishing Party shall provide the
other Party a draft of the proposed publication to afford an opportunity for
comment and securing of intellectual property rights. Publication shall be
delayed an additional 30 days to permit filing of patent applications upon
request. Neither Party may publish the other's Knowhow without the prior written
consent of the other Party.
9.03 DISTRIBUTION OF KNOWHOW.
Neither Party shall transfer any of the other Party's Knowhow
(including without limitation, any Factors or genetic materials encoding
therefor provided by such other Party or any proprietary information of such
other Party under Section 9.01) to any third party without the express prior
consent of the Party which provided such Knowhow, provided either Party may make
such disclosures as are required by law or a court order (but before any such
required disclosure it shall notify the other Party) or as are required as part
of regulatory submissions or as required in sublicensing (provided that in cases
of sublicensing, the entity receiving such Knowhow agrees to confidentiality and
nonuse provisions at least as restrictive as those in this Article IX).
ARTICLE X
TERM AND TERMINATION
10.01 TERM. The term of this Agreement shall commence as of the
Effective
39
40
Date set forth above. Unless sooner terminated pursuant to Sections 10.02,
10.03, 10.05 or 10.06, the term of this Agreement, the licenses granted in
Sections 5.01 and 5.02 and Genentech's obligations with respect to Net Profits
and royalties under Sections 8.02 and 8.03 shall expire on a [ * ] years from
the date of First Commercial Introduction in that country. Subject to the other
terms of this Agreement (including this Section 10.01), upon expiration of this
Agreement on such country-by-country and Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product
basis, Genentech shall have a perpetual, fully paid up, non-exclusive right and
license under the CTI Knowhow and CTI Patent Rights, and any improvements
thereto solely or jointly owned by CTI under Section 7.01, to develop, make,
have made, use and sell such Licensed Products in such country in the Territory,
and a perpetual, fully paid up, exclusive right and license in such country in
the Territory to improvements to the Genentech Knowhow or Genentech Patent
Rights solely developed or invented and solely owned by CTI under Section 7.01.
Subject to the other terms of this Agreement, upon expiration of this Agreement
CTI shall have a perpetual, fully paid-up, exclusive right and license in such
country in the Territory to improvements to the CTI Knowhow or CTI Patent Rights
solely developed or invented and solely owned by Genentech under Section 7.01.
No later than [ * ] prior to the expiration of the term of the licenses
granted hereunder, the Parties shall discuss the status of their relationship
and shall agree, if Licensed Product is still being marketed hereunder anywhere
in the world solely by Genentech or its sublicensee(s), either to extend the
Supply Agreements or to transfer manufacturing technology and all necessary
licenses to Genentech. Any such extended Supply Agreement(s) shall provide for a
supply price of [ * ] of (i) Fully Burdened Manufacturing Cost plus [ * ] or
(ii) the cap on Fully Burdened Manufacturing Cost agreed upon pursuant to
Section 4.06. If no agreement is reached on supply prior to two years before
such expiration, CTI shall transfer all necessary manufacturing technology in
CTI's possession or control and grant all necessary licenses under the CTI
Patents and CTI Knowhow (including any improvements hereunder) to Genentech
(with right to sublicense) for the nonexclusive rights to make, have made, use
and sell Licensed Product then under sale in the Field of Use in the Territory
(but for no other purpose) and CTI shall permit Genentech and its sublicensees

40
41
Genentech upon the expiration of this Agreement, Genentech shall reimburse CTI
for all reasonable costs incurred by it as part of such transfer, and Genentech
shall be responsible for the payment of all royalties and other amounts
contractually required to be paid by CTI to third parties on account of such
manufacture, use or sale by Genentech or its sublicensees.
10.02 BREACH. Failure by either Party to comply with any of its
material obligations contained in this Agreement shall entitle the other Party
to give to the Party in default notice specifying the nature of the default and
requiring it to make good such default. If such default is not cured within 60
days after the receipt of such notice, the notifying Party shall be entitled,
without prejudice to any of its other rights conferred on it by this Agreement,
in addition to any other remedies available to it by law or in equity, to
terminate this Agreement unless the defaulting Party shall cure such default
within said 60 days. The right of either Party to terminate this Agreement, as
hereinabove provided, shall not be affected in any way by its waiver of failure
to take action with respect to any previous default.
10.03 INSOLVENCY OR BANKRUPTCY. Either Party may, in addition to any
other remedies available to it by law or in equity, terminate this Agreement by
written notice to the other Party in the event the other Party shall have become
insolvent or bankrupt, or shall have made an assignment for the benefit of its
creditors, or there shall have been appointed a trustee or receiver of the other
Party or for all or a substantial part of its property, or any case or
proceeding shall have been commenced or some other action taken by or against
the other Party in bankruptcy or seeking reorganization, liquidation,
dissolution, winding-up, arrangement, composition or readjustment of its debts
or any other relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other
similar act or law of any jurisdiction now or hereafter in effect or there shall
have been issued a warrant of attachment, execution, distraint or similar
process against any substantial part of the property of the other Party, and any
such event shall have continued for 60 days undismissed, unbounded and
undischarged; provided, however, that no such right to terminate shall pertain
solely by virtue of a voluntary reorganization for the purpose of solvent
amalgamation or reconstruction.
10.04 TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY. (a) Upon termination of this Agreement
due to Genentech's fundamental breach (including, without limitation, a failure
to pay CTI Net Profits or royalties on Net Sales owed hereunder) or bankruptcy,
the licenses
41
42
granted in Article V to Genentech shall terminate, and, Genentech shall grant to
CTI a Territory-wide, exclusive license to develop, make, have made, use and
sell Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Territory (but for no other
purpose) under the Genentech Patents and Knowhow solely or jointly owned by
Genentech with CTI hereunder (including any improvements hereunder) with the
right to sublicense and the right to reference or otherwise get the benefit of
any necessary regulatory filings of Genentech or its sublicensees, and, upon the
request of CTI, Genentech shall transfer to CTI any technology in its possession
or control under the scope of such license and necessary for CTI to develop,
make, have made, use or sell Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the
Territory (but for no other purpose). CTI shall pay Genentech royalties in the
amount of [ * ] of Net Sales of Licensed Product by CTI and its sublicensees
and shall be responsible for all of Genentech's obligations hereunder. In
addition to the royalties to be paid to Genentech, CTI shall be responsible for
reimbursing Genentech for the payment of all royalties and other amounts
contractually required to be paid by Genentech to third parties on account of
such manufacture, sale or use of Licensed Product by CTI or its sublicensees.
(b) Upon termination of this Agreement due to CTI's fundamental breach
(e.g., failure to supply Licensed Product as provided herein or in the Supply
Agreement(s)) or bankruptcy, the licenses granted to CTI in Article V shall
terminate, and, CTI shall grant to Genentech a Territory-wide, exclusive license
to develop, make, have made, use and sell Licensed Product in the Field of Use
in the Territory (but for no other purpose) under the CTI Patents and Knowhow,
solely or jointly owned hereunder by CTI with Genentech (including any
improvements hereunder) with the right to sublicense and the right to reference
or otherwise get the benefit of any necessary regulatory filings of CTI or its
sublicensees, and upon the request of Genentech, CTI shall transfer to Genentech
any technology in its possession or control under the scope of such license and
necessary for Genentech to develop, make, have made, use and sell Licensed
Product in the Field of Use in the Territory (but for no other purpose).
Genentech shall pay CTI royalties in the amount of [ * ] of Net Sales of
Licensed Product in the Field of Use in the Territory by Genentech and its
sublicensees and shall be responsible for all of CTI's obligations hereunder. In
addition to the royalties to be paid to CTI, Genentech shall be responsible for
reimbursing CTI for payment of all royalties and other amounts contractually
required to be paid by CTI to third parties on account of such manufacture, sale
or use of Licensed Product by Genentech or its sublicensees, but Genentech shall
be entitled to
* Confidential Treatment Requested
42
43
offset against such royalty and other payments to CTI all of Genentech's
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in constructing facilities to
manufacture Licensed Product in the Territory and obtaining approval of an
establishment license application or equivalent regulatory approval of such
manufacturing facilities. Genentech's right to offset its out-of-pocket costs of
construction and approval shall be limited to those expenses reasonably incurred
related to constructing a facility similar to the plant being used by CTI to
produce Licensed Product hereunder. CTI shall have the option, in lieu of the
foregoing offsets, of transferring to Genentech the ownership and/or control of
the plant (with all liabilities incurred in connection with the construction,
validation and approval of such plant) it is using at the time to supply
Licensed Product hereunder. Genentech may reasonably refuse to accept such
transfer, in which case Genentech's right to offset shall continue. Genentech
may request that CTI transfer its technology to a third party solely for the
manufacture of Licensed Product. CTI may reasonably withhold its consent to a
transfer to a particular third party, but may not reject all possible reasonable
third party candidates for such a transfer put forth by Genentech. During the
period of such a transfer, CTI shall treat Genentech as its first priority
customer for supply of Licensed Product. The Parties agree that the technology
transfer will involve the need for CTI employees to train Genentech or its third
party designee's employees. CTI will pay the salaries of its employees doing
such training but will not be responsible for the payment of the salaries of
Genentech or third party employees receiving training. Genentech will be
responsible for all other obligations of CTI under this Agreement.
10.05 MUTUAL AGREEMENT. The Parties may terminate any development
program or this Agreement by mutual agreement at any time.
10.06 SPECIAL TERMINATION RIGHTS.
(a) If Genentech elects not to continue the Development Program or the
Clinical Development Program pursuant to Section 4.05 and the Parties do not
agree to a new program hereunder within ninety (90) days, either Party may

CTI's election not to proceed
43
44
further with the Clinical Development Program for such Licensed Product. After
such notice, CTI shall have no further obligation to develop such Licensed
Product or fund any costs hereunder for such Licensed Product, except as
provided herein. Genentech shall have the option for a period of one hundred
twenty (120) days after CTI's notice, [ * ] CTI shall continue to develop such

conditions of this Agreement (including CTI's obligation to manufacture and
supply, and Genentech's obligation to purchase, Licensed Product hereunder)
shall remain in full force and effect, except that in lieu of the sharing of Net
Profits on Net Sales of Licensed Products in the United States under Section
8.02 and the royalty on Net Sales of Licensed Products in the Territory outside
the United States under Section 8.03, CTI shall be entitled to a royalty of only
[ * ] of Net Sales of such Licensed Products by Genentech and its permitted
sublicensees in the Territory, and its Fully Burdened Manufacturing Cost for
such Licensed Product, if supplied by CTI hereunder. CTI shall be obligated to
repay the full amount of the loan outstanding at a date to be agreed upon but in
any event no later than [ * ] from each [ * ] to CTI thereunder. At CTI's
election, such [ * ] shall be in cash and/or stock (pursuant to an agreement in

to develop such Licensed Product or fund any costs hereunder for such Licensed
Product, except as provided herein. Genentech shall have the option for a period
of one hundred twenty (120) days after CTI's notice, to [ * ]. If Genentech
elects to make such loan, CTI shall continue to develop such Licensed [ * ]
(and approval of the costs to be incurred) and the terms and conditions of this
Agreement (including CTI's obligation to manufacture and supply, and Genentech's
obligation to purchase, such Licensed Product hereunder) shall remain in full
force and effect, except that in lieu of the sharing of Net Profits on
* Confidential Treatment Requested

EXHIBIT B
CYTOTHERAPEUTICS'
ENCAPSULATION TECHNOLOGY
This exhibit summarizes the various technology components which have been, or
may in the future be, integrated by CTI in order to provide encapsulated
implants containing living cells for the synthesis and release of therapeutic
products. Generally speaking, CTI creates encapsulated cells containing implants
using a number of techniques and technologies, including the following; each
kind of implant will use various of the following depending on the cell type,
the implant location and the proteins to be released:
- BIOMATERIALS - Creation, selection, characterization, purification, and
validation of implant materials (including without limitation, PAN/PVC,
PES, polyurethanes, and mesh materials (with and without hydrogels))
formulation and fabrication and, where necessary, surface modification
of (E.G., with PEO, PVA, etc.), molecularly-separative membranes (E.G.,
with appropriate transport properties and sufficient biocompatibility
for successful encapsulation); selection, treatment, and/or synthesis
of an intracapsular matrix material suitable to provide physical and
biochemical support to encapsulated cells; development of [ * ]
materials beneficial to the encapsulated cells or the host response;
provision of safe and effective components and materials-of-manufacture
for the implant, including tether, sealing agents, imaging agents, and
the like.
- CELL BIOLOGY - Procurement, development, and selection of cells capable
of sustained intracapsular viability and product release including
without limitation, with primary and genetically modified cells
techniques for conditioning cells prior to encapsulation; establishment
and testing of cell banks or cell pools which meet relevant points to
consider and other regulatory requirements; isolation and subsequent
manipulation of stem cells, other progenitor cells, and cells derived
from stem and progenitor cells; methods for controlling the division
rate of cells within capsules; selection of parent cell lines suitable
for gene-insertion and subsequent encapsulation; combinations of cells
for multiple product release or for other purposes; and methods for
analysis of immune consequences of protein release from encapsulated
cells.
- MOLECULAR BIOLOGY - Engineering of cells capable of stable release of
polypeptides in sufficient quantity for therapeutic effect; gene
transfer techniques appropriate for transplantable cells; introduction
of genetic material which regulates cell growth kinetics or metabolism
or sensitivity to killing agents or, more generically, introduction of
genetic materials to modulate the up-regulation and/or the
down-regulation of target genes.
- TRANSGENICS - Creation by transgenic approaches of cells or cell lines
* Confidential Treatment Requested
58
suitable for encapsulation which contain foreign genes or a collection of
foreign genes.
- DEVICE DESIGN - Establishment and validation of implant and implant
fabrication parameters such as cell seeding density, intracapsular
media, pH, and the like; preparation and validation of the mechanical
design of the implant and its accessories; packaging, external media,
and the like; development of insertion methods and techniques;
development of strengthened implants; sterility assurance.
- MANUFACTURING - Establishment and documentation of GMP level procedures
for procuring materials, fabricating membranes and subassemblies,
encapsulating, filling, testing, holding, releasing, packaging, and
shipping implants.
Both immunoisolation and viability are relative terms; their requirements will
vary with implant site, host-donor combination, and therapeutic intent and the
particular forms of encapsulation and related technologies to be used will be
chosen based on these requirements.
Further examples of some of the techniques used by CTI can be seen in the
articles cited below.
Encapsulation Technology includes any proprietary knowhow relating to the
foregoing including the use of individual elements of the above in combination
and inventions and technology covered by CTI Patents.

Disclosure Schedule (the"Disclosure Schedule"), which shall be updated and
provided to Genentech prior to each Closing, CTI represents and warrants to
Genentech as follows:
(a) ORGANIZATION AND STANDING. CTI is a corporation duly
organized, and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware
and is in good standing under such laws. CTI is duly qualified to do
business as a foreign corporation in the State of Rhode Island.
(b) AUTHORIZATION. This Agreement has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by CTI and constitutes the valid and binding
obligation of CTI, enforceable in accordance with its terms. The Shares
have been duly authorized and, when delivered against payment therefore
in accordance with the terms hereof, will be duly and validly issued
and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and are free to

forth in Section 7).
(c) AUTHORIZED CAPITAL STOCK. The authorized capital stock of
CTI consists of 45,000,000 shares of Common Stock, 15,428,576 of which
were outstanding as of October 31, 1996, and 1,000,000 shares of
Preferred Stock, $.01 par value (the "Preferred Stock"), none of which

preemptive rights in connection with the issuance of the Shares, or
with respect to any future, offer sale or issuance of securities by
CTI.
(d) COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER INSTRUMENTS. CTI is not in violation
of any term of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or any
material agreement, mortgage, indenture, debenture, trust, instrument,
judgment, decree, order, law, statute, rule or governmental regulation
to which it is subject (the "Other Instruments"). The execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement and the issuance and sale of
the Shares or the taking of any other action contemplated by this
Agreement will not result in any violation of or be in conflict with or
constitute a default (with or without notice, lapse of time or both)

documents (the "SEC Documents") required to be filed by it with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under Sections 13,
14(a), and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"), since the date on which its last Annual Report on
Form 10-K was filed. As of their respective filing dates, the SEC
Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of
the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"),
as applicable. The SEC Documents did not, as of their respective dates,
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading. The financial statements of CTI included in
such documents (the "Financial Statements") comply as to form in all
material respects with applicable accounting requirements and with all
applicable published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect
thereto. Except as may be indicated in the notes to the Financial
Statements or, in the case of unaudited statements, as permitted by
Form 10-Q of the SEC, the Financial Statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently
applied and fairly present the consolidated financial position of CTI
at the dates thereof and the consolidated results of its operations and
consolidated cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the
case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end adjustments).
(h) NO MATERIAL CHANGE. Since the end of the most recent
fiscal quarter of CTI for which a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has
been filed with the SEC, there has been no material adverse change in
the business, prospects, financial condition, net worth or results of
operations of CTI, other than changes occurring in the ordinary course
of business which changes have not, individually or in the aggregate,
had a material adverse effect on the business, prospects, properties or
financial condition of CTI.
3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF GENENTECH. Genentech represents and
warrants to CTI that:
(a) INVESTMENT INTENT. The Shares are being acquired by
Genentech solely for its own account, for investment purposes only, and
with no present intention of distributing, selling or otherwise
disposing of them.
(b) ECONOMIC RISK; SOPHISTICATION. Genentech is able to bear
the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and can afford to
sustain a total loss on such investment and has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of the proposed investment and
therefore has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection
with the purchase of the Shares.
-4-
78
(c) AUTHORITY. Genentech has all requisite power and authority
to enter into this Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder, and
this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Genentech

The parties hereto further agree that any certificate evidencing the

comply with state securities law:
THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT,
AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR
OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN
EXEMPTION THEREFROM.
8. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
8.1 CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. As used in this Agreement, the following
terms shall have the following respective meanings:
"REGISTRABLE SECURITIES" shall mean (i) the Shares and (ii) any Common
Stock of CTI issued or issuable with respect to, or in exchange for or in
replacement of (a) the Shares, or (b) other securities convertible into or
exercisable for Common Stock issued upon any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization, or similar event; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such shares of
Common Stock or other securities shall only be treated as Registrable Securities
for the purposes of Section 8.2 if and for so long as they have not been (A)
sold to or through a broker or dealer or underwriter in a public distribution or
a public securities transaction or (B) otherwise transferred to a transferee in
whose hands such shares are not (1) restricted securities under the Act or (2)
subject to the volume limitations of Rule 144.
The term "REGISTER," "REGISTERED" and "REGISTRATION" refer to a
registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in
compliance with the Act, and the declaration or ordering of the effectiveness of
such registration statement.
"REGISTRATION EXPENSES" shall mean all expenses, except as otherwise
stated below, incurred by CTI, in complying with Section 8.2 hereof, including,
without limitation, all registration, qualification and filing fees, printing
expenses, escrow fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for CTI, blue sky fees
and expenses, the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any
such registration (but excluding the compensation of
-7-
81
regular employees of CTI which shall be paid in any event by CTI) and up to
$25,000 for fees and disbursements of one counsel to the holders of CTI's Common
Stock participating in such registration.
"SELLING EXPENSES" shall mean all underwriting discounts, selling
commissions and stock transfer taxes and fees applicable to the securities
registered by Genentech and disbursements of counsel to Genentech, if any, in
excess of the $25,000 payable to one counsel for the holders of CTI's Common
Stock participating in such registration as provided in the definition of the
Registration Expenses.
8.2 PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
(a) NOTICE OF REGISTRATION. If, at any time after the
date that is one (1) year from the initial Closing Date, CTI shall
determine to register any of its securities, either for its own account
or the account of a security holder or holders, other than (i) a
registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, or (ii) a
registration relating solely to a Rule 145 transaction, CTI will:
(i) promptly give Genentech written notice
thereof; and
(ii) include in such registration (and any
related qualification under blue sky laws or other
compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the
Registrable Securities specified in a written request, made
within 20 days after receipt of such written notice from the
CTI, by Genentech.
(b) UNDERWRITING. If the registration of which CTI gives
notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting,
CTI shall so advise Genentech as a part of the written notice given
pursuant to Section 8.2. In such event the right of Genentech to
registration pursuant to Section 8.2 shall be conditioned upon
Genentech's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of
Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided
herein. In such event Genentech (together with all other holders of
Common Stock proposing to distribute their securities through such
underwriting and CTI) shall enter into an underwriting agreement in
customary form with the managing underwriter selected for such
underwriting by CTI. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 8.2, if the managing underwriter determines that marketing
factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be
underwritten, the managing underwriter may limit the securities to be
distributed through such underwriting. CTI shall so advise all holders
of Common Stock distributing their securities through such underwriting
of such limitation and the number of shares of Genentech's Registrable
Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting
shall be allocated among all such holders in proportion, as nearly as
practicable, to the respective amounts of securities eligible to be
included in such registration held by such holders at the time of
filing the
-8-
82
registration statement. To facilitate the allocation of shares in
accordance with the above provisions, CTI may round the number of
shares allocated to any holder to the nearest 100 shares. If, in the
case of a registration initiated pursuant to the exercise by other
holders of CTI's Common Stock of so-called "demand" registration
rights, the managing underwriter selected for such registration
determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of
shares to be underwritten, Genentech shall have no right to include any
shares of its Registrable Securities in such registration unless all
shares requested by the holders exercising such "demand" registration
rights to be included in such registration are permitted to be included
in such registration. If Genentech disapproves of the terms of any such
underwriting, Genentech may elect to withdraw therefrom by written
notice to CTI and the managing underwriter. Any securities excluded or
withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such
registration, and shall not be transferred in a public distribution
prior to 90 days after the effective date of the registration statement
relating thereto, or such other shorter period of time as the
underwriters may require.
(c) RIGHT TO TERMINATE REGISTRATION. CTI shall have the right
to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this
Section 8.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or
not Genentech or any other holder of Common Stock has elected to
include securities in such registration. The Registration Expenses of
such withdrawn registration shall be borne by CTI in accordance with
Section 8.3 hereof.
8.3 EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. All Registration Expenses incurred
in connection with registrations pursuant to this Section 8 shall be borne by
CTI. All Selling Expenses relating to securities registered on behalf of
Genentech shall be borne by Genentech and holders of securities included in such
registration pro rata with CTI and among each other on the basis of the number
of shares so registered.
8.4 REPRESENTATIONS OF GENENTECH. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, in connection with any underwritten offering,
Genentech shall not be required to make any representations or warranties to or
agreements with CTI or the underwriters except as relate to Genentech, the
Registrable Securities held by it and its intended method of distribution.
8.5 REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. In the case of each registration,
qualification or compliance effected by CTI pursuant to this Section 8 in which
Genentech participates, CTI will keep Genentech advised in writing as to the
initiation of each registration, qualification and compliance and as to the
completion thereof. At its expense CTI will:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement
with respect to such securities and use its best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become
-9-
83
and remain effective for at least one hundred eighty (180) days or
until the distribution described in the Registration Statement has been
completed;
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in
connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to
comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition
of all securities covered by such registration statement;
(c) Furnish to Genentech and to the underwriters, if any, such
reasonable number of copies of the registration statement, preliminary
prospectus, final prospectus and such other documents as Genentech and
underwriters may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public
offering of such securities;
(d) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the
securities covered by such registration statement under such other
securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as shall be
reasonably requested by Genentech, provided that CTI shall not be
required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify
to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in
any such states or jurisdictions;
(e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter
into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in
usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such
offering. Genentech shall also enter into and perform its obligations
under such an agreement;
(f) Notify Genentech at any time when a prospectus relating
thereto is required to be delivered under the Act or the happening of
any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such
registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement
of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing;
(g) As soon as practicable after the effective date of the
registration statement, and in any event within 16 months thereafter,
have "made generally available to its security holders" (within the
meaning of Rule 158 under the Act) an earnings statement (which need
not be audited) covering the period of at least twelve months beginning
after the effective date of the registration statement and otherwise
complying with Section 11(a) of the Act;
(h) Furnish, at the request of Genentech, on the date that
such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale
in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 8 if being
sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold
through underwriters, on the date the registration statement becomes
effective, (i) an opinion, dated such date, of the counsel representing
CTI for the
-10-
84
purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily
given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to
the underwriters, if any, and to Genentech and (ii) a letter dated such
date, from the independent accountants of CTI, in form and substance as
is customarily given by independent accountants to underwriters in an
underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any,
and to Genentech; and
(i) Make available for inspection by Genentech and any
underwriter participating in any distribution pursuant to such
registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or financial
advisor retained by Genentech or underwriter, financial and other
pertinent records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of CTI,
and cause CTI's officers, directors and employees to supply information
reasonably requested by Genentech, and any such underwriter, attorney,
accountant or financial advisor in connection with such registration
statement.
(j) Use its best efforts to list the securities covered by
such registration statement with any securities exchange on which the
Common Stock of CTI is then listed.
8.6 INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) CTI will indemnify Genentech, each of its officers,
directors, partners, employees and affiliates, and legal counsel, and
each person controlling Genentech within the meaning of the Act, with
respect to which registration, qualification or compliance has been
effected pursuant to this Section 8, and each underwriter for
Genentech, if any, and each person who controls any underwriter within
the meaning of the Act, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages
or liabilities (joint or several) (or actions in respect thereof),
including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any
litigation, commenced or threatened, arising out of or based on any
untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact
contained in any registration statement, prospectus (preliminary or
final), offering circular or other document, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, incident to any such registration, qualification or
compliance, and any documents filed under state securities laws in
connection therewith, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which
they were made, not misleading, or any violation by CTI of the Act, the
Exchange Act, and state securities laws or any rule or regulation
promulgated thereunder applicable to CTI in connection with any such
registration, qualification or compliance, and CTI will reimburse, as
incurred, Genentech, each of its officers, directors, partners, and
legal counsel and each person controlling Genentech, each such
underwriter and each person who controls any such underwriter, for any
legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage,
liability or action, provided that CTI will not
-11-
85
be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss,
damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to
CTI by an instrument duly executed by Genentech, controlling person or
underwriter and stated to be specifically for use therein.
(b) Genentech will, if Registrable Securities held by
Genentech are included in the securities as to which such registration,
qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify CTI, each of
its directors, officers, employees, affiliates and legal counsel, each
underwriter, if any, of CTI's securities covered by such a registration
statement, each person who controls CTI or such underwriter within the
meaning of the Act, and each other holder of CTI's securities, each of
their officers, directors, partners, employees, affiliates and legal
counsel and each person controlling such holder within the meaning of
the Act, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in
any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other
document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only
to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement)
or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration
statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to CTI by an
instrument duly executed by Genentech and stated to be specifically for
use therein, and will reimburse, as incurred, CTI, such other holders,
such directors, officers, persons, underwriters or control persons for
any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or
action to the extent entitled to indemnification hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of Genentech under this
subsection (b) shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds
to Genentech of Registrable Securities sold as contemplated herein,
unless such liability resulted from willful misconduct by Genentech.
Genentech will not be required to enter into any agreement or
undertaking in connection with any registration under this Section 8
providing for any indemnification or contribution on the part of
Genentech greater than Genentech's obligations under this Section 8.6.
(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section
8.6 (the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required
to provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after
such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which
indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party, if it
so desires, to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation
resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party,
who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be
approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not
unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party
-12-
86
may participate in such defense at such party's expense, and provided
further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as
provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its
obligations under this Section 8.4, except and only to the extent that
the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial to an
Indemnifying Party's ability to defend such action and provided
further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume
the defense for matters as to which there is a conflict of interest or
separate and different defenses but shall bear the expense of such
defense nevertheless. No Indemnified Party shall consent to the entry
of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the prior written
consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld; and in no event shall it be unreasonable so to
withhold consent to entry of any judgment or any settlement which does
not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant
or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability
in respect to such claim or litigation.
8.7 INFORMATION BY HOLDER. In the event Genentech elects to
include Registrable Securities in any registration, Genentech shall furnish to
CTI such information regarding Genentech, the Registrable Securities held by
them and the distribution proposed by Genentech as CTI may request in writing
and as shall be required in connection with any registration, qualification or
compliance referred to in this Section 8.
8.8 RULE 144 REPORTING. With a view to making available the
benefits of certain rules and regulations of which may at any time permit the
sale of the restricted securities to the public without registration, CTI agrees
to use its best efforts to:

are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Act, at all times
during which CTI is subject to the reporting requirements of the Act or
the Exchange Act;

manner all reports and other documents required of CTI under the Act
and the Exchange Act (at all times during which it is subject to such
