2.Collaboration

2.1.Overview; Guidelines; and Independence.

(a)Overview. The Parties desire to apply their respective technology and expertise to discover, optimize and advance Collaboration Compounds that are a PI3Kalpha Selective Inhibitor, PI3Kbeta Selective Inhibitor, PI3Kalpha/beta Inhibitor, PI3Kalpha/mTOR Inhibitor, PI3Kbeta/mTOR Inhibitor, or PI3Kalpha/beta/mTOR Inhibitor so that such Collaboration Compounds may be Developed into Products and Commercialized by Sanofi-Aventis. As a general goal, the Parties intend to advance [ * ] Lead Compounds as Development Candidates, and to submit [ * ] INDs on Development Candidates ([ * ] one of which is [ * ] and one of which is [ * ] (both with or without [ * ]), during the Collaborative Research Term. The Parties agree that failure to advance [ * ] such Lead Compounds as Development Candidates, or failure to submit [ * ] such INDs on Development Candidates shall not be treated as a breach of this Agreement. Each Party shall have responsibilities under the Collaboration in accordance with the allocation of duties set forth in the Research Plan, including responsibilities for lead optimization, preclinical development of Collaboration Compounds, and conduct of [ * ] Clinical Trial(s) for such Collaboration Compounds.

(b)Resources. Each Party shall assign responsibilities for the various operational aspects of the Collaboration to those portions of its organization that have the appropriate resources, expertise and responsibility for such functions and, consistent with this Agreement, treat each Pre-Lead Compound, Lead Compound or Development Candidate as if it were a proprietary compound solely of its own organization. In all matters related to the Collaboration, the Parties shall strive to balance as best as they can the legitimate interests and concerns of the Parties and to realize the full economic potential of each Product (taking into account the risks and costs of further Development and Commercialization). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, during the Collaborative Research Term, Exelixis shall allocate and utilize [ * ] FTEs per year, [ * ] to fulfilling its obligations under the Research Plan, and Sanofi-Aventis shall allocate [ * ] to perform its obligations under the Research Plan.

2.2.Research Plan. The Parties have agreed in writing upon an initial plan for the research to be carried out by the Parties during the Collaborative Research Term, which is set forth in the Exhibit 2.2 and incorporated herein by reference (the “Research Plan”). The Research Plan includes each Party’s respective obligations in furtherance of the Collaboration and timelines for completion of key stages. The JRDC shall review the Research Plan at least [ * ] and may propose to the JEC (for its review and approval) revised versions of the Research Plan that do not contradict any terms of this Agreement. Once approved by the JEC, such revised Research Plan shall replace the prior Research Plan. If the terms of the Research Plan contradict, or create inconsistencies or ambiguities with, the terms of this Agreement, then the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

- 12 -

2.3.Conduct of Research.

(a)General. The Parties shall use Diligent Efforts to conduct their respective tasks set forth in the Research Plan and shall conduct the Collaboration in good scientific manner, and in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of applicable laws, rules and regulations and all applicable good laboratory practices.

(b)Pre-Lead Discovery and Nomination. During the Collaborative Research Term, each Party shall use Diligent Efforts to [ * ] and [ * ] of [ * ] to [ * ] and [ * ] as [ * ]. Each Party shall [ * ] the [ * ] and [ * ] identification and characterization (but not any [ * ], [ * ], proprietary [ * ], or [ * ]) with the JRDC at each meeting. Exhibit 2.3(b)(i) identifies (as of the Effective Date) a list of compounds that [ * ] to [ * ] as [ * ] under this Agreement, and Exhibit 2.3(b)(ii) identifies (as of the Effective Date) a list of compounds that [ * ] to [ * ] as [ * ] under this Agreement. Once [ * ] in [ * ] that a given compound meets the Pre-Lead Compound Nomination Criteria identified in the Research Plan, then [ * ] shall submit to the JRDC a data package (excluding [ * ] and [ * ]) for nominating such compound as a Pre-Lead Compound. Alternatively, the JRDC may request [ * ] to assemble and submit (at such [ * ]) a data package (excluding [ * ] and [ * ]) for any PI3Kalpha Selective Inhibitor, PI3Kbeta Selective Inhibitor, PI3Kalpha/beta Inhibitor, PI3Kalpha/mTOR Inhibitor, PI3Kbeta/mTOR Inhibitor, or PI3Kalpha/beta/mTOR Inhibitor that has been disclosed to the JRDC by [ * ]. The JRDC shall review each data package submitted for Pre-Lead Compound nomination and shall determine whether to approve such compound as a Pre-Lead Compound. If the JRDC approves such compound, then such compound shall be deemed to be a Pre-Lead Compound. Upon such approval by the JRDC, the [ * ] and [ * ] for such Pre-Lead Compound shall be [ * ]. If the JRDC does not approve a compound as a Pre-Lead Compound, and the JRDC recommends that such compound should be subject to additional work, then, [ * ] that [ * ] such [ * ] shall use [ * ] to [ * ] such [ * ] and [ * ] such [ * ] to the [ * ] for [ * ]; provided, however, that the JRDC shall have the sole discretion to prioritize such additional work relative to any work being performed [ * ] under this Agreement. If the JRDC does not approve such compound as a Pre-Lead Compound and does not recommend additional work, then such compound shall [ * ] that [ * ] such [ * ], which [ * ] shall have the right to] further research, develop or commercialize such compound [ * ], subject [ * ] to the [ * ] of Section [ * ].

(c)Lead Discovery and Nomination. Once [ * ] determines that [ * ] Pre-Lead Compound meets the Lead Compound Nomination Criteria identified in the Research Plan, then [ * ] shall submit to the JRDC a data package for such Pre-Lead Compound to be approved as a Lead Compound by the JRDC. Alternatively, the JRDC may nominate a Pre-Lead Compound for consideration to be a Lead Compound and request [ * ] to assemble and submit (at such [ * ]) a data package for such Pre-Lead Compound. The JRDC shall review each submitted data package and shall determine whether to approve such Pre-Lead Compound as a Lead Compound, provided, however, that prior to such determination, [ * ] that has [ * ] such [ * ] shall have the right to request and receive, [ * ] appropriate [ * ], [ * ] from the [ * ] of [ * ] than [ * ] of such [ * ] solely to [ * ] the [ * ] and the [ * ] described in the [ * ] and confirm whether such [ * ] of the [ * ] provided meet such [ * ] (for clarity, [ * ] intends for the [ * ] to [ * ] in the [ * ] of [ * ]; accordingly, if any [ * ] from such [ * ], then the [ * ] such [ * ] hereby [ * ] all of its [ * ] and [ * ] to such [ * ] to [ * ]). If the JRDC approves such Pre-Lead Compound, then such Pre-Lead Compound shall be deemed to be a Lead Compound, and shall no longer be deemed to be a Pre-Lead Compound. If the JRDC does not approve a Pre-Lead Compound, and the JRDC recommends that such Pre-Lead Compound should be subject to additional work, then, [ * ] that [ * ] such [ * ] shall use [ * ] to [ * ] such [ * ] and [ * ] such [ * ] to the [ * ] for [ * ]; provided, however, that the JRDC shall have the sole discretion to prioritize such additional work relative to any work

- 13 -

being performed [ * ] under this Agreement. If JRDC does not approve such Pre-Lead Compound and does not recommend additional work, then such Pre-Lead Compound shall cease to be a Pre-Lead Compound, and [ * ] that [ * ] such [ * ] shall have [ * ] to further [ * ] or [ * ] such [ * ], subject [ * ] to the [ * ] of Section [ * ].

(d)Review of Lead Compounds. As part of the criteria for the submission of a Lead Compound for approval as a Development Candidate, [ * ] review the results of all screening assays for [ * ] activity [ * ] or [ * ] of [ * ] in the normal course of [ * ] under the [ * ]. [ * ] may [ * ] such [ * ] for the [ * ] of [ * ] that such [ * ] does [ * ] a [ * ] of [ * ] against any [ * ] for which [ * ] has [ * ] to any [ * ] (“[ * ]”). If [ * ] notifies [ * ] in writing within [ * ] of [ * ] that a [ * ], then [ * ] shall [ * ] such [ * ]; provided, however, that [ * ] may [ * ] on such [ * ] to [ * ] the [ * ] of such [ * ]. For clarity, (a) nothing in this Section 2.3 shall be deemed to [ * ] from [ * ], at any time, with respect to its [ * ] or [ * ] in order to [ * ] such [ * ], and (b) [ * ] may [ * ] and [ * ] with respect to any such [ * ] during such [ * ] prior to [ * ] any such [ * ] from [ * ]. In the event that [ * ] does [ * ] to [ * ] with respect to the [ * ] of a [ * ] within such [ * ], then [ * ] shall be [ * ] on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

(e)Lead Optimization. During the Collaborative Research Term, the JRDC shall review and prioritize each Lead Compound on a regular basis, allocating the split of responsibilities and resources between the Parties with the goal of advancing a prioritized Lead Compound to Development Candidate by the conduct of the Lead Optimization Responsibilities set forth in the Research Plan, and the factors described below. In general, the responsibilities for [ * ] of a Lead Compound and associated [ * ] (including [ * ] and [ * ]) shall remain with [ * ] that [ * ] such [ * ]; provided, however, that the Parties may agree to allocate some activities (and transfer Lead Compounds) to [ * ] that [ * ] such [ * ] if [ * ] has [ * ] and [ * ] that are [ * ] to the [ * ] (e.g., in the areas of specific [ * ] or [ * ] models, [ * ] assets or access to [ * ])]. During the Collaborative Research Term, each Party shall [ * ] to [ * ] the [ * ] that are [ * ] to [ * ] by [ * ] and to update the JRDC with the progress and results of such conduct. The JRDC shall assess the status of the Lead Compounds, and, if a Lead Compound meets the Development Candidate Nomination Criteria, or if the JRDC otherwise determines that a Lead Compound should be advanced as a Development Candidate for preclinical development, then the JRDC shall nominate such Lead Compound as a Development Candidate to [ * ]. [ * ] shall promptly (and in good faith) review such nomination and determine whether such Lead Compound shall be advanced for preclinical development by becoming a Development Candidate. If [ * ] determines to approve such Lead Compound as a Development Candidate, then [ * ] shall promptly notify the JRDC, and such Lead Compound shall be deemed to be a Development Candidate and shall no longer be deemed to be a Lead Compound. [ * ] shall also determine which Party would be responsible for CMC Activities, preclinical development, IND submission and conduct of the first Phase I Clinical Trial for such Development Candidate. If the JRDC decides not to nominate a Lead Compound as a Development Candidate, or if [ * ] does not approve a Lead Compound as a Development Candidate, and the JRDC [ * ] recommends additional work to be performed on such Lead Compound, then, [ * ] that [ * ] such [ * ] shall use Diligent Efforts to conduct such additional work and re-submit such Lead Compound to the JRDC; provided, however, that the JRDC shall have the sole discretion to prioritize such additional work relative to any work being performed by such Party under this Agreement.

(f)Preclinical Development and IND Submission. After [ * ] determines to advance a Lead Compound as a Development Candidate, [ * ] that was [ * ] the [ * ] for such [ * ] shall use Diligent Efforts during the Collaborative Research Term to conduct the Preclinical Development Activities set forth

- 14 -

in the Research Plan. The JRDC shall assess the status of such Preclinical Development Activities, and, if a Development Candidate meets the IND Submission Criteria, or if the JRDC otherwise determines that an IND should be submitted for a Development Candidate, then the JRDC shall nominate such Development Candidate for IND submission to [ * ]. [ * ] shall promptly (and in good faith) review such nomination and determine whether an IND should be submitted for such Development Candidate. If [ * ] determines that an IND should be submitted, then [ * ] shall promptly notify the JRDC, and the Lead Development Party shall prepare the Initial Development Plan and Annual Development Plan pursuant to Article 5. After the Initial Development Plan and Annual Development Plan are finalized, the Lead Development Party shall use Diligent Efforts to prepare and submit to the applicable Regulatory Authority the IND package for such Development Candidate. If the JRDC determines that an IND should not be submitted for a Development Candidate, or if [ * ] determines not to submit an IND for a Development Candidate, but if either the JRDC or [ * ] recommends that such Development Candidate should be subject to additional work, then, [ * ] that was [ * ] the [ * ] for such [ * ] shall use Diligent Efforts to conduct such additional work and re-submit such Development Candidate to the JRDC [ * ]; provided, however, that the JRDC shall have the sole discretion to prioritize such additional work relative to any work being performed [ * ] under this Agreement. After the INDs for at least [ * ] Development Candidates, have been approved by the appropriate Regulatory Authority [ * ] shall have any obligation to submit (or conduct any work related to the submission of) any additional INDs for any other Development Candidates, and [ * ] shall have any obligation to submit (or conduct any work related to the submission of) any additional Lead Compounds for advancement as Development Candidates.

EXELIXIS AND SANOFI-AVENTIS SIGN GLOBAL LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR XL147 & XL765 AND LAUNCH BROAD COLLABORATION FOR DISCOVERY OF PI3K INHIBITORS

-Exelixis receives $140 million upfront payment and guaranteed research funding-

Paris, France and South San Francisco, CA - May XX, 2009 -- Sanofi-aventis (EURONEXT: SAN and NYSE: SNY) and Exelixis, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXEL) today announced a global license agreement for XL147 and XL765 and a broad collaboration for the discovery of inhibitors of phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K) for the treatment of cancer. Activation of the PI3K pathway is a frequent event in human tumors, promoting cell proliferation, survival, and resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Under the license, Sanofi-aventis will have a worldwide exclusive license to XL147 and XL765, which are currently in phase 1 and phase 1b/2 clinical trials, and will have sole responsibility for all subsequent clinical, regulatory, commercial and manufacturing activities. Exelixis will participate in conducting ongoing and potential future clinical trials and manufacturing activities.

Under the discovery collaboration, Exelixis and Sanofi-aventis will combine efforts in establishing several pre-clinical PI3K programs and jointly share responsibility for research and preclinical activities related to isoform-selective inhibitors of PI3K. Sanofi-aventis will have sole responsibility for all subsequent clinical, regulatory, commercial and manufacturing activities of any products arising from the collaboration; however, Exelixis may be responsible for conducting certain clinical trials.

Sanofi-aventis will pay Exelixis a combined upfront cash payment of $140 million under the license and collaboration. Exelixis will also receive guaranteed research funding of $21 million over a three year research term under the collaboration. For both the license and the collaboration, Exelixis will be eligible to receive development, regulatory and commercial milestones of over $1 billion in the aggregate, as well as royalties on sales of any products commercialized under the license and collaboration.

“Sanofi-aventis has a track record of success in commercializing innovative cancer therapies and is deeply committed to advancing the care of cancer patients,” said Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Exelixis. “We believe that their expertise and resources will enable us to move aggressively in advancing the development of XL147 and XL765 and other potential PI3K inhibitors. The data generated to date in the XL147 and XL765 clinical programs suggest that these compounds may have utility in treating diverse cancers. Sanofi-aventis

and Exelixis are committed to realizing the full potential of these compounds and other PI3K inhibitors to provide cancer patients with new treatment options.”

The effectiveness of the license agreement is subject to antitrust clearance under the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act and other customary regulatory approvals.

Oral Presentations

Clinical data from the phase 1 trials of XL147 and XL765 will be presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting, which will be held from May 29 to June 2, 2009 in Orlando, Florida:


•	“Phase 1 dose-escalation study of XL147, a PI3K inhibitor administered orally to patients with solid tumors” will be presented on Monday, June 1, 2009, starting at 1:30 p.m. local time (Abstract #3500)


•	“A Phase 1 dose-escalation study of the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics of XL765, a PI3K/TORC1/TORC2 inhibitor administered orally to patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors” will be presented on Monday, June 1, 2009 starting at 2:00 p.m. local time (Abstract #3502)

XL147 and XL765 target PI3K, which plays an important role in cell proliferation and survival. Activation of the PI3K pathway is a frequent event in human tumors, promoting cell proliferation, survival, and resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. XL765 also inhibits the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), which can be activated via upregulation of PI3K, or via PI3K-independent mechanisms. mTOR is frequently activated in human tumors, and plays a central role in tumor cell proliferation.

About PI3K inhibitors

The phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) pathway is triggered in normal cells upon exposure to growth factors. It regulates a cascade of proliferation and survival signals. The PI3K pathway is one of the primary deregulated signaling pathways in human cancer. Activation of the PI3K pathway is a frequent event in human tumors, promoting cell proliferation, survival, and resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Novel therapeutics impacting the PI3K pathway, alone or in combination, are therefore considered to have a high therapeutic potential.

About XL147 and XL765

XL147 is an orally available small molecule inhibitor of phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K). XL765 is a orally available small molecule, dual inhibitor of PI3K and mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin). mTOR can be activated via upregulation of PI3K, or via PI3K-independent mechanisms. mTOR is frequently activated in human tumors, and plays a central role in tumor cell proliferation.
