6.2. OWNERSHIP OF NEW INVENTIONS. All rights to New Inventions made
solely by GLADSTONE's employees and agents and arising from research conducted
under this Agreement shall belong to GLADSTONE, subject to the rights of The
Regents pursuant to the GLADSTONE/Regents Agreement (GLADSTONE and The Regents
are hereinafter referred to as "GLADSTONE/Regents"). CNPI shall cause its
employees and agents to assign all rights to New Inventions to CNPI. All rights
to New Inventions made jointly by GLADSTONE's employees or agents with one or
more employees or agents of CNPI and arising from research conducted under this
Agreement shall belong jointly to GLADSTONE/Regents and CNPI. CNPI shall be
granted rights under the Option/License Agreement to GLADSTONE's and The

thereof and CNPI shall be granted rights under The Regents' interest in New
Inventions outside the Field in accordance with Section 6.4 below. The Regents
agrees to assert rights to the Invention (as defined in the Option/License
Agreement) and New Inventions both in and outside of the Field.

6.3. DISCLOSURE OF NEW INVENTIONS IN THE FIELD. Each Party shall promptly
disclose to the other Party any New Inventions in the Field arising under this
Agreement. The Party to whom such New Invention is disclosed agrees to hold such
disclosure on a confidential basis. The rights of CNPI to license New Inventions
in the Field are governed by the Option/License Agreement.

6.4. New Inventions Outside the Field.
--------------------------------

(a) GLADSTONE/Regents shall promptly disclose to CNPI any New
Inventions outside the Field arising under this Agreement. The Party to whom
such New Invention is disclosed agrees to hold such disclosure on a confidential
basis.

(b) To the extent that GLADSTONE and The Regents have the legal
right to do so, CNPI shall be entitled to an exclusive license to GLADSTONE's
and Regents' interest in each New Invention outside the Field on terms to be
negotiated in good faith between the Parties as set forth herein. CNPI agrees to
notify GLADSTONE/Regents in writing within ninety (90) days of disclosure of the
applicable New Invention outside the Field as to whether or not it wishes to
negotiate a license to such New Invention. Upon CNPI's affirmative election to
negotiate a license, GLADSTONE/Regents agree to negotiate in good faith with
CNPI for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days to conclude, at CNPI's
option, either a license or option agreement for such New Invention. Such
license or option agreement shall include reasonable terms typically found in
licensing agreements and provide for diligent development of the New Invention
and CNPI's obligation to reimburse GLADSTONE/Regents for patent expenses
incurred by GLADSTONE/Regents with respect to such New Invention up to and
including the effective date of such license or option agreement. If, at the end
of such one hundred and eighty (180) day period, CNPI and GLADSTONE/Regents are
unable to agree on terms for the license or option agreement, then, unless the
Parties agree to extend the negotiation period, CNPI shall promptly deliver to
GLADSTONE/Regents a final proposal detailing the terms on which it would enter
into such an agreement (the "Final Proposal"). GLADSTONE/Regents shall have
thirty (30) days from receipt of the Final Proposal to notify CNPI of its
willingness to enter into an agreement on such terms. If GLADSTONE/Regents does
not so notify CNPI, then GLADSTONE/Regents shall be free to dispose of the
relevant New Invention in accordance with GLADSTONE/Regents' policy; provided,
however, that, for a period of two (2) years from the expiration of such thirty
(30) day period, if GLADSTONE/Regents proposes to enter into any such
arrangement with a third party on the terms set forth in the Final Proposal or
on terms more favorable to the third party than the terms contained in the Final
Proposal, then (i) GLADSTONE/Regents shall deliver to CNPI a notice specifying
such terms (an "Offer Notice"), (ii) CNPI shall have fifteen (15) days from
receipt of the Offer Notice to either waive its first refusal right or notify
GLADSTONE/Regents of its desire to negotiate in good faith a definitive
agreement reflecting such terms (the "Acceptance Notice") and (iii) if, at the
end of thirty (30) days from the Acceptance Notice, CNPI and GLADSTONE/Regents
fail to enter into a definitive agreement reflecting such terms, then the
parties shall submit any disputed issues regarding such agreement to binding
arbitration pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof. If CNPI waives its first refusal
right with respect to the terms set forth in the Offer Notice or fails to
deliver to GLADSTONE/Regents an Acceptance Notice within the requisite fifteen
(15) day period, then GLADSTONE/Regents shall be free to enter into an
arrangement for the relevant New Invention with a third party, the terms of such
arrangement

to be no more favorable to the third party than those set forth in the Offer
Notice if entered into during the aforementioned two (2) year period.

(c) If CNPI elects not to secure a license, then rights to such New
Invention may be disposed of by GLADSTONE/Regents with no further obligation to
CNPI.

6.5. Responsibility for Patent Filing and Prosecution.
-------------------------------------------------

(a) GLADSTONE/Regents shall control the preparation, filing and
prosecution of patent applications that are owned solely by GLADSTONE/Regents
and filed by GLADSTONE/Regents in connection with New Inventions in the Field as
provided in the Option/License Agreement.

(b) In the case of patent applications owned solely by
GLADSTONE/Regents and filed by GLADSTONE/Regents in connection with New
Inventions outside the Field, GLADSTONE/Regents shall provide CNPI in a timely
manner with copies of all patent applications filed by GLADSTONE/Regents in
connection therewith that may be or have been licensed to CNPI pursuant to this
Article 6 and/or the Option/License Agreement, as well as those documents
involved in the prosecution thereof, so that CNPI shall have an opportunity to
provide comment on any such applications and documents. Unless CNPI either (a)
notifies GLADSTONE/Regents pursuant to Section 6.4(b) that it does not wish to
negotiate a license to a New Invention or (b) fails, within the ninety (90)-day
period set forth in the said sentence, to notify GLADSTONE/Regents that it
wishes to negotiate such a license, CNPI shall bear the expenses associated with
the filing and prosecution of patent applications covering New Inventions
outside the Field. GLADSTONE/Regents will not abandon any such application
without the consent of CNPI for so long as CNPI agrees to pay for the expenses
thereof. In the event that GLADSTONE/Regents elects to abandon any patent
application with CAMBRIDGE NuCo's consent, CNPI may, in its sole discretion,
elect to take title to such patent application and continue prosecution of such
application, in which event GLADSTONE/Regents agrees to assign all of its rights
thereto to CNPI.

(c) CNPI shall control the preparation, filing, prosecution and
maintenance of patent applications that are jointly owned by CNPI and
GLADSTONE/Regents. Such applications shall be prepared, filed and prosecuted by
patent counsel reasonably acceptable to GLADSTONE/Regents. The Principal
Investigator and GLADSTONE/Regents shall cooperate fully with and provide
assistance to CNPI (or if the parties agree to have GLADSTONE/Regents exercise
control, CNPI shall cooperate fully with and provide assistance to
GLADSTONE/Regents) in connection with the preparation, filing, prosecution and
maintenance of such jointly-owned patent applications, including, without
limitation, execution of all documents and performance of all acts reasonably
necessary to file and prosecute such patent applications and maintain, enforce
and defend such patents. Each of CNPI and GLADSTONE/Regents shall provide the
other in a timely manner with copies of all jointly-owned patent applications
filed by each pursuant to Article 6, as well as those documents involved in the
prosecution thereof, so that the other shall have an opportunity to provide
comment on any such applications and documents. CNPI shall bear the expenses
associated with the filing and prosecution of such jointly-owned patent
applications. Neither Party shall abandon any such application without thirty
(30) days notice to the other.

6.6. Research Results and Program Materials; Reserved Rights.
-------------------------------------------------------

(a) CNPI shall have the unrestricted royalty-free right to use
Research Results for any purpose; provided, however, that CNPI shall not use
Research Results for commercial purposes unless it first obtains a commercial
license thereto if such use would infringe any claim of a patent application or
an issued patent as to which CNPI has not theretofore obtained a license for any
reason pursuant to the Option/License Agreement or Section 6.4(b) hereof. CNPI
shall have the right to use Program Materials for internal research programs. In
the event that (i) CNPI desires to obtain a commercial license to any Program
Materials that are not patentable or (ii) GLADSTONE/Regents determines that it
desires to grant a commercial license for any such Program Materials, CNPI
shall, in either case, have a right of first negotiation with respect to such a
license and the Parties shall negotiate such a license in good faith in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.4(b) hereof.
GLADSTONE/Regents shall have the unrestricted right to use the Research Results
for any purpose, subject to Section 7.2 hereof.

(b) GLADSTONE/Regents reserves the right to use any Program
Materials free of charge for its own research and educational purposes only.
GLADSTONE further retains the right to distribute any Program Material to others
engaged in non-commercial research, free of charge, under a written Gladstone
Material Transfer Agreement which provides that use shall be restricted to
non-commercial research. Prior to any transfer of Program Materials pursuant to
the preceding sentence, GLADSTONE/Regents shall cause any investigator and/or
institution to whom Program Materials are provided to enter into an agreement
setting forth publications procedures substantially similar to those set forth
in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 hereof providing CNPI with the right to review and
comment on publications to be made by such investigator and/or institution and
to remove any Confidential Information of CNPI. The Principal Investigator shall
provide CNPI with a list for its records of the investigators and institutions
to whom Program Materials have been provided as described under this Section
6.6(b) and shall keep the list current.

6.7. RIGHT TO FUND RESEARCH REGARDING NEW OPPORTUNITIES. At least sixty
(60) days prior to expiration or termination (except by GLADSTONE/Regents under
Section 8.2) of this Agreement, the Principal Investigator will disclose each
New Opportunity to CNPI in confidence and propose a program of research to
actually reduce such New Opportunity to practice. CNPI shall have the first
right to fund such additional research, such right to be exercised by written
notice to GLADSTONE/Regents within forty-five (45) days of disclosure of such
New Opportunity and program. Thereafter, the parties will promptly enter into a
Sponsored Research Agreement covering such research. Promptly following the
expiration or termination (except by GLADSTONE/Regents under Section 8.2) of
this Agreement, GLADSTONE/Regents will disclose any New Opportunities which
arose during the period since the original disclosure of New Opportunities, and
CNPI will have a first right to fund research to actually reduce such New
Opportunity to practice as set forth above. CNPI's rights under this Section 6.7
shall apply even if GLADSTONE/Regents constructively reduces a New Opportunity
to practice by filing a patent application prior to the expiration of the (45)
day period described above.

6.8. INVENTION KNOW-HOW. GLADSTONE/Regents agrees to provide CAMBRIDGE
NuCo with reasonable access to any technical information, experimental data
and/or tangible

Confidential material omitted and filed separately with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote such omissions.

research materials relating to the Invention (as defined in the Option
Agreement) for the purpose of evaluating its interest in exercising its Option
under the Option Agreement.

6.9. WARRANTIES REGARDING THE INVENTION. GLADSTONE warrants that Xx.
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx has not published or publicly presented any of the data or
research results contained in U.S. Patent Applications Serial *********** and
covering the Invention as defined in the Option Agreement.

6.10. NO OTHER RIGHTS. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed
to grant either directly or by implication, estoppel, or otherwise any license
under any patents, patent applications, or other proprietary interests to any
other invention, discovery, or improvement of any Party.

7. PUBLICATION AND CONFIDENTIALITY

7.1. Publication Rights.
------------------

(a) Subject to the rights granted to CNPI pursuant to this
Agreement, including without limitation Section 7.2, the Principal Investigator
shall have the right to publish or otherwise disclose all technical reports,
information and/or data developed by the Principal Investigator under this
Agreement. In connection with any publication or disclosure by the Principal
Investigator during the term of this Agreement or after of such reports,
information and/or data, CNPI may request that Principal Investigator include an
appropriate acknowledgement of CNPI's sponsorship of the Research Program in
such publication or disclosure.

7.2. Limitations on Publication.
--------------------------

(a) To avoid loss of patent rights as a result of premature public
disclosure of patentable information, the Principal Investigator and GLADSTONE
each agree to submit to CNPI, at least thirty (30) days prior to submission for
publication or disclosure, any and all materials intended for publication or
disclosure relating to technical reports, data, or information developed by the
Principal Investigator and/or other personnel at GLADSTONE assisting the
Principal Investigator under this Agreement. In the event CNPI believes
patentable subject matter is disclosed in such materials it shall, within
fifteen (15) days of its receipt thereof, notify GLADSTONE and publication or
disclosure will thereupon be withheld for a period of up to ninety (90) days
from the date of receipt by CNPI of the proposed publication or other disclosure
so that a patent application covering such invention may be prepared and filed
as provided in Section 6.3. Further, if CNPI believes that such materials
contain Confidential Information (as defined below) of CNPI, the Principal
Investigator and GLADSTONE agree to remove such Confidential Information from
the proposed publication or disclosure. Further, in the case of a publication
based on the results of x-ray crystallography, GLADSTONE agrees that the
three-dimensional coordinates of any target molecules will not be published
until such publication is required under the policy of the academic journal in
which the results were first published.

(b) CNPI agrees that, during the term of this Agreement and after,
CNPI will appropriately acknowledge the contributions of the Principal
Investigator and GLADSTONE in any publication or disclosure by CNPI of Research
Results and data based upon the Research Program. In addition, CNPI agrees to
provide the Principal Investigator a copy of any such publication or disclosure
in confidence for information purposes at least thirty (30) days before public
release of such publication or disclosure. The Principal Investigator shall have
the right to reasonably edit any such publications or disclosures which are
jointly authored by Principal Investigator. The foregoing shall not apply to
press releases of Cambridge NeuroScience, Inc. ("CNSI") and/or CNPI issued in
the ordinary course of business or to reports filed by CNSI and/or CNPI with the
National Association of Securities Dealers, the Securities and Exchange
Commission or any other governmental agency in accordance with applicable laws
or regulations.

7.3. CONFIDENTIALITY. Either Party, from time to time, in connection with
the Research Program, may disclose Confidential Information to the other Party.
For purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential Information" shall mean
confidential and proprietary information and materials that are designated as
confidential in writing by the providing Party, whether by letter or by use of
an appropriate stamp or legend, prior to or at the same time any such
information or materials are disclosed. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the
contrary, materials and other information which are orally, visually or
electronically disclosed, or are disclosed in writing without an appropriate
letter, stamp, or legend, shall constitute Confidential Information if the
providing Party, within thirty (30) days after such disclosure, delivers to the
other Party a written document or documents describing the materials and
identifying the Confidential Information. The Parties agree, to the extent
permitted by law, that Confidential Information shall remain the property of the
providing Party. Each of the Parties further agree to use its best efforts to
insure that Confidential Information shall not be disclosed, divulged or
otherwise communicated to third parties or used for any purposes other than to
conduct the Research Program, provided that the obligations under this Section
7.3 shall not apply to information that:

(a) is in possession of the recipient at the time of disclosure
thereof a demonstrated by written records;

(b) is or later becomes part of the public domain through no
fault of the recipient;

(d) is developed independently by the recipient without use of
Confidential Information; or

(e) is required by law or regulation to be disclosed; provided,
however, that recipient has provided written notice to providing Party promptly
to enable the providing Party to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent
disclosure of such information.

Confidential material omitted and filed separately with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote such omissions.

8. TERM AND TERMINATION

8.1. TERM. The term of this Agreement ("Term") shall commence on the
Effective Date and continue in full force for three (3) years from and after the
Effective Date, unless earlier terminated in accordance with Section 2.1 or this
Article 8. This Agreement may be renewed or extended by mutual written consent
of the Parties within thirty (30) days prior to expiration.

8.2. TERMINATION FOR BREACH. If either Party materially breaches any
material warranty, term or condition of this Agreement (including but not
limited to CNPI's failure to make any payments due and the failure of GLADSTONE
and/or the Principal Investigator to diligently perform its or his respective
obligations with respect to the Research Program in substantial accordance with
Exhibit A hereto) and fails to remedy such material breach within sixty (60)
days after receipt of notice in writing of such material breach from the other
Party, the non-breaching Party, at such Party's option and in addition to any
other remedies that such Party may have in law or in equity, may terminate this
Agreement by sending written notice of termination with immediate effect to the
other Party.

8.3. EFFECT OF TERMINATION. Termination of this Agreement shall not
affect the rights and obligations of the parties which accrued hereunder except
as provided under this Section 8.3.

(a) In the event that this Agreement is terminated for any reason,
GLADSTONE will proceed in an orderly fashion to terminate any outstanding
commitments and to stop the Research Program as soon as it is practicable to do
so. All documented costs reasonably incurred by GLADSTONE in connection with
such termination will be considered reimbursable costs, including costs incurred
prior to the notice of termination but which have not yet been reimbursed, and
commitments existing at the time the notice of termination is received which by
their terms cannot be canceled. This shall include all non-cancelable contracts
entered into and fellowships or postdoctoral associate appointments offered and
accepted prior to the effective date of termination. After termination, any
obligation of CNPI to GLADSTONE with respect to fellowships or postdoctoral
associate appointments shall end as soon as possible consistent with GLADSTONE
personnel policies and in no event later than ***************** from the date of
notice of termination. In no case will such reimbursement exceed the total
estimated projected cost of the Research Program, unless otherwise mutually
agreed to by the Parties. Termination of this Agreement shall not relieve CNPI
from the obligation to make any payments due and payable to GLADSTONE as of the
date of termination. GLADSTONE shall have the right to retain, in full, payments
received pursuant to Section 4.1 prior to the date of termination.

(b) In the event this Agreement is terminated by CNPI pursuant to
Sections 2.1 or 8.2 above,

(i) CNPI's exclusive option for an exclusive license under
the Option Agreement or additional exclusive licenses
under the License Agreement, as the case may be, shall
continue in full force and effect with respect to the
Invention (as defined therein) and any

New Inventions arising on or prior to the date on which
the Research Program is terminated pursuant to clause
(a) above, and the Option Agreement shall not be
terminated by The Regents except as provided in clause
(ii) below.

(ii) CNPI shall notify The Regents within six (6) months of
the date of termination of the Research Program pursuant
to clause (a) above whether CNPI is exercising its
option under the Option Agreement, such notice to be in
the form required by the Option Agreement. If CNPI
elects not to exercise its option under the Option
Agreement or fails to properly do so within the
aforementioned six (6) month period, then The Regents
may terminate the Option Agreement in accordance with
its terms. If CNPI properly exercises its option under
the Option agreement, then CNPI and The Regents shall
negotiate the License Agreement or amendment(s) thereto
(as the case may be) as provided in the Option/License
Agreement.

(iii) CNPI's right of first refusal under Section 6.4 hereof
shall continue in full force and effect (A) with respect
to any and all New Inventions arising prior to or on the
date on which the Research Program is terminated
pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 8.3 as to which
CNPI has elected (or has been deemed to have elected)
not to secure a license pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof
and (B) until the expiration of the applicable two (2)
year period with respect to each New Invention for which
a Final Proposal has been delivered.

(c) In the event this Agreement is terminated by GLADSTONE/Regents
pursuant to Section 8.2 above, CNPI's exclusive option for an exclusive license
under the Option Agreement, or for additional exclusive licenses under the
License Agreement, as the case may be, shall terminate, and the Option Agreement
shall terminate.

8.4. SURVIVAL. The following Sections and Articles of this Agreement
shall survive the expiration or termination for any reason of this Agreement:
Sections 3.2, 6.2, 6.4 (as provided in Section 8.3(b) above), 6.5, 6.6, 8.3 and
8.4 and Articles 7, 9 and 10.

9. INDEMNIFICATION

9.1. INDEMNIFICATION BY CNPI. CNPI agrees to defend, indemnify and hold
harmless GLADSTONE, its partners, its employees and or agents from and against
all complaints, causes of action, claims, losses, costs, damages, liabilities,
or expenses by reason of any liability sought to be imposed upon GLADSTONE
resulting from injuries to persons or damages to property, provided such
injuries to persons or damage to property are due or claimed to be due as a
result of acts or omissions of acts of CNPI, its officers, employees or agents.

9.2. INDEMNIFICATION BY GLADSTONE. GLADSTONE agrees to defend, indemnify
and hold harmless CNPI, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees and
agents from and against all complaints, causes of actions, claims, losses,
costs, damages, liabilities, or expenses by reason of any liability sought to be
imposed upon CNPI resulting from injuries to persons or damages to property,
provided such injuries to persons or damages to property are due or claimed to
be due as a result of acts or omission of acts of GLADSTONE, its partners,
employees or agents.

9.3. PROCEDURE. A Party or any of its Affiliates or their respective
employees or agents (the "Indemnitee") that intends to claim indemnification
under this Article 9 shall promptly notify the other Party (the "Indemnitor") of
any loss, claim, damage, liability, expenses, or action in respect of which the
Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification, and the Indemnitor shall
assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Parties;
provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own
counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnitor, if
representation of such Indemnitee by the counsel retained by the Indemnitor
would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between
such Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such
proceedings. The indemnity agreement in this Article 9 shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action if
such settlement is effected without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent
shall not be withheld unreasonably. The failure to deliver notice to the
Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any such action,
if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve
such Indemnitor of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Article 9, but the
omission so to deliver notice to the Indemnitor will not relieve it of any
liability that it may have to any Indemnitee otherwise than under this Article
9. The Indemnitee under this Article 9, its employees and agents, shall
cooperate fully with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the
investigation of any action, claim or liability covered by this indemnification.
In the event that each Party claims indemnity from the other and one Party is
finally held liable to indemnify the other, the Indemnitor shall additionally be
liable to pay the reasonable legal costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the
Indemnitee in establishing its claim for indemnity.

10. GENERAL PROVISIONS

10.1. ARBITRATION. If the Principal Investigator and the Co-Principal
Investigator can not resolve a dispute, any controversy or claim arising out of
or relating to any provision of this Agreement or any breach thereof, shall be
settled by arbitration conducted in California in accordance with the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration panel
will be conducted before a single arbitrator with experience in the
biotechnology industry provided that both Parties are able to agree on the
identity of such single arbitrator. If the Parties cannot agree on a single
arbitrator, there will be three arbitrators, with each Party selecting one and
the two arbitrators so selected choosing a third. Judgment upon the award
rendered by the arbitrator(s) shall be binding on the Parties and may be entered
by either Party in any court or forum, state or federal, having jurisdiction.

10.2. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without
reference to principles of conflicts of laws.

10.3. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS. The relationship of CNPI and GLADSTONE
established by this Agreement is that of independent contractors, and nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be construed to (i) give any of the Parties
hereto the power to direct or control the day-to-day activities of another Party
hereto, (ii) constitute the Parties as partners, joint venturers, co-owners or
otherwise as participants in a joint or common undertaking or (iii) allow any of
the Parties hereto to create or assume any obligations on behalf of another
Party hereto for any purposes whatsoever.

10.4. PARTIES BOUND. This Agreement, including the indemnification
provisions, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties
hereto, their respective successors, assigns, legal representatives and heirs.
CNPI may assign or transfer CNPI's rights and obligations under this Agreement
to an affiliate of CNPI or a successor to all or substantially all of its assets
or business relating to this Agreement, whether by sale, merger, operation of
law or otherwise. This Agreement shall not otherwise be assignable by either
Party without the prior written consent of the other Party.

10.5. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the Option/License Agreement
constitute the entire and only agreements between the parties relating to the
subject matter hereof, and all prior negotiations, representations, agreements
and understandings are superseded by this Agreement and the Option/License
Agreement.

10.6. FURTHER ASSURANCES. At any time or from time to time on and after
the Effective Date, the Principal Investigator and GLADSTONE shall at the
request of CNPI (i) deliver to CNPI such records, data or other documents
consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) execute, and deliver or
cause to be delivered, all such assignments, consents documents or further
instruments of transfer or licenses and (iii) take or cause to be taken all such
other actions, as CNPI may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order for
CNPI to obtain the full benefits of this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby.

10.7. RIGHT TO DEVELOP INDEPENDENTLY. Nothing in this Agreement will
impair CNPI's right to independently acquire, license, develop or have

becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal,
unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect
without said provision; provided, that no such severability shall be effective
if the result of such action materially changes the economic benefit of this
Agreement to CNPI, or to the Principal Investigator or GLADSTONE.

10.14. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.

Exhibit A
---------

GLADSTONE INSTITUTE OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE
CAMBRIDGE NEUROSCIENCE PROPOSAL

This proposal represents an integrated approach for a drug discovery
program targeting populations that will likely include: Alzheimer's disease,
stroke, head trauma, central nervous system infections, and age-associated
cognitive decline. The proposal is based on the concept that apolipoprotein
(apo-)E plays a critical role in a final common pathway in neuronal
repair/remodeling (Figure 1). The proposed drug development program is based on
the following hypotheses that have resulted from the research of Gladstone
investigators.
