1, 1997 a summary of its good faith efforts to secure a gene and a full,
detailed report of the result of those efforts. During the Gene
Presentation Period, Collateral may make as many gene presentations as it
wishes ("Gene Presentation(s)"). The Gene Presentations may include all
the elements of scientific criteria listed in Exhibit E and evidence of
Collateral's belief that the gene is capable of being patented and used
without infringement of rights of Third Parties.
4.8 Gene Presentation Procedure; Schering Response. Schering shall have sixty
(60) days from each written Gene Presentation to review the evidence

reasons for such rejection. Schering has the right, in its sole
discretion, to accept or reject the presented gene with or without (i) a
reason, or (ii) cause, and without the regard for the legitimacy for the
rejection or the reasonableness of the rejection. The decision to accept
or reject the presented gene is completely free of
10
any legal challenge. Schering may terminate this Agreement pursuant to
Section 15.2(e) due to the failure of Collateral to present Schering an
acceptable gene by the end of the Gene Presentation Period; provided
however, to allow for Collateral to present a gene that is acceptable to
Schering, and provided the Parties agree on a mutually acceptable Budget
for an extension of the Gene Presentation Period, Schering has the sole
right and, in its sole discretion, to extend the Gene Presentation Period
for an additional period of not shorter than three (3) months and no
longer than six (6) months. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, including any informal discussions between Schering and
Collateral concerning a presented gene or Schering responding to
Collateral's Gene Presentations with written reasons for rejection,
Schering does not waive its rights to accept such gene in its sole,
absolute discretion and Schering shall not be restricted in any manner
from exercising its sole discretion to accept or reject the presented
gene. If Schering accepts the gene, such acceptance shall be in writing
and is defined as the "Acceptance of a Qualified Gene."
4.9 Schering License Grants with Respect to New Products. If Collateral and
Schering cannot agree to the funding of research and development of a
particular New Product according to the procedure set forth in Section
7.2, except as provided in Section 7.3, at the time stated in Section

making, having made, using, selling, offering to sell or importing the
particular New Product presented in the New Product Opportunity Report.

THE FIELD; RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL; RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER
7.1 Inventory of Developed Technology. At least six (6) months prior to the
end of the Term, the Parties shall create a written inventory of the
Developed Technology. Such written inventory shall include, but not be
limited to patents, patent applications, invention disclosures,

(a) For seven (7) years from the Effective Date, Collateral shall keep
Schering informed of all research concerning New Products that arise
out of Collateral Base Technology and/or Developed Technology
Controlled or created during the Term. For every such potential New
Product which is the subject of research in the Field by Collateral

vivo animal data, Collateral shall first and exclusively present as
a New Product opportunity to Schering, in writing, and, good faith,
giving as much detail and as complete as possible, a report on the
New Product which includes, but is not limited to a description of

preliminary product description, proposed indication and market
data, and patent and license analysis ("New Product Opportunity
Report");
(b) Schering has thirty (30) days from receipt of the New Product
Opportunity Report to respond in writing to Collateral whether it
wishes to proceed with a good faith negotiation of funding support
for the research and development of such New Product;
(c) If Schering notifies Collateral that it does not wish to proceed to
negotiate the funding of the research and development of such New
Product, or, If the Parties cannot agree on the amount of funding
amounts for research and development for the New Product within
three (3) months of receipt of the New Product Opportunity Report by
Schering, then Collateral may proceed as follows:
(i) if Collateral researches, develops, commercializes and sells

(b) If Collateral obtains less than exclusive rights to a gene in the
Field from a Third Party, and, if Schering, in its sole discretion,
decides to permit and proceed with such an arrangement, and if such
Third Party sells a product in the Field, Schering and Collateral
will in good faith negotiate reductions in the Milestone Payments
and Royalties and other aspects of this Agreement to take into
account such Third Party selling products in the Field.
(c) If Collateral obtains less than exclusive rights to a gene in the
Field from a Third Party and, if Schering, in its sole discretion,
