apply only to those compounds, Collaboration Lead Compounds, Independent Lead
Compounds and Products for which Development or co-promotion shall have been
terminated and/or to those compounds or Lead Compounds that have not been
designated previously a Collaboration Lead Compound in accordance with Section
3(b) or an Independent Lead Compound in accordance with Section 3(m); provided
further that in the event that JT elects to pursue a Discontinued Compound or a
Non-Proposed Compound on or before the first anniversary of the expiration or
termination of the Research Program Term pursuant to Section 3(b)(iii) or
3(b)(iv), respectively, Sections 2(g)(A), (B) and (C) shall not apply to such
Discontinued Compound or Non-Proposed Compound until such time as JT shall have
terminated the Development or co-promotion of such Discontinued Compound or Non-
Proposed Compound. Tularik will then be free to pursue clinical development and
registration of such compounds, Lead Compounds and/or Products without
obligation to JT except as provided in Section 4(f) or Section 5(c), as
appropriate.
h. Exclusive Collaboration. Except as provided below, the Parties
shall work exclusively with each other in the Field during the Research Program
Term. The research and development program being conducted by JT as of the
Agreement Date to discover and develop compounds having activity against orphan
nuclear receptors (the "JT Program") shall be included as part of the Research
Program; provided, however, that JT shall not be required to contribute (i)
compounds that [ * ] (the orphan nuclear receptors set forth in (i) and (ii)
above, collectively, "Excluded Orphan Nuclear Receptors"). During the Research
Program Term, neither Party shall discuss the terms of, or enter into, an
agreement with any Third Party relating to research, development or
commercialization activities of products in the Field without the express prior
unanimous written consent of the RMC, JDC or MC, respectively, except as
otherwise provided in
[ * ] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by
brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
6.
this Agreement. During the Term, neither Party will develop or commercialize a
product in the Field other than pursuant to this Agreement.
3. Development Program.
a. General Principles. The Parties agree to use commercially
reasonable efforts to develop Collaboration Lead Compounds for use in the Field,
making use of each Party's special expertise as directed by the RMC with the
intent of obtaining all worldwide approvals or authorizations necessary for the
manufacture, distribution, use or sale of a Product in the Territory
("Regulatory Approval") and bringing Products to the market as soon as
reasonably practicable thereafter.
b. Designation of Collaboration Lead Compound. (i) From time to
time either Party may propose to the RMC one or more Lead Compounds suitable for
Pre-Clinical Development. The RMC will promptly determine whether such Lead
Compound is suitable for Pre-Clinical Development by determining whether such
Lead Compound meets the criteria set forth by the RMC for a particular Orphan
Nuclear Receptor from time to time (the "Pre-Clinical Development Criteria").
(ii) If the RMC determines that such Lead Compound meets the Pre-
Clinical Development Criteria, then within [ * ] of such determination each
Party shall provide to the RMC a written notice as to whether it elects to
participate in and, subject to Section 3(f), commit resources to conduct Pre-
Clinical Development of such Lead Compound as a Collaboration Lead Compound
according to the proposed plan and budget. If the RMC determines that such Lead
Compound does not meet the Pre-Clinical Development Criteria, then within [ * ]
of such determination each Party shall provide to the RMC a written notice as to
whether it elects to designate such Lead Compound as a Collaboration Lead
Compound and participate in and commit resources to conduct Pre-Clinical
Development of such Collaboration Lead Compound notwithstanding that such Lead
Compound does not meet the Pre-Clinical Development Criteria. If each Party
makes an affirmative election with respect to any Lead Compound pursuant to
either the first or second sentence of this Section 3(b)(ii), such Lead Compound
shall be designated a "Collaboration Lead Compound" and, if an IND or equivalent
is filed thereon, a "Product." If one Party makes an affirmative election and
the other Party makes a negative election with respect to any Lead Compound
being designated a Collaboration Lead Compound, the Party making an affirmative
election will have the right to proceed independently to develop such
[ * ] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by
brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
7.
compound as an Independent Lead Compound or Independent Product under Section
3(m).
(iii) If neither Party makes an affirmative election with respect to
any Lead Compound being designated a Collaboration Lead Compound under Section
3(b)(i), such Lead Compound shall be neither a Collaboration Lead Compound nor a
compound that may be developed under Section 3(m), and development of such non-
elected Lead Compound (a "Discontinued Compound") may be subsequently initiated
by a Party by notifying the other Party of its interest in initiating
Development of such Discontinued Compound at any time on or before [ * ] of the
date of termination or expiration of the Research Program Term. If the other
Party indicates it is not interested in initiating Development of such
Discontinued Compound, the initiating Party may proceed with development of such
Discontinued Compound as an Independent Lead Compound or an Independent Product
and the initiating Party shall be deemed to be the Independent Party, pursuant
to Section 3(m). At any time after [ * ] of the date of termination or
expiration of the Research Program Term, either Party may, upon written notice
to the other Party, proceed with development of a Discontinued Compound as an
Independent Product and such Party shall be deemed to be the Independent Party,
pursuant to Section 3(m).
(iv) If a Lead Compound is not, at any time, presented to the RMC
pursuant to Section 3(b)(i), such Lead Compound shall be neither a Collaboration
Lead Compound nor a compound that may be developed under Section 3(m), and this
Section 3(b)(iv) shall govern any future development of such non-proposed Lead
Compound (a "Non-Proposed Compound"). If at any time on or before [ * ] of the
date of termination or expiration of the Research Program Term, a Party
hereunder (the "Non-Proposed Compound Interested Party") determines to initiate
Pre-Clinical Development of such Non-Proposed Compound, it shall provide written
notice to the other Party of such interest and the reasons therefor. The other
Party will then have [ * ] to indicate whether it also is interested in the
development of such Non-Proposed Compound. If the other Party is so interested,
the Parties will proceed with Pre-Clinical Development or Development of such
Non-Proposed Compound as a Collaboration Lead Compound pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement. If the other Party is not so interested, the Non-Proposed
Compound Interested Party may proceed with development of such Non-Proposed
Compound as an Independent Product and the Non-Proposed Compound Interested
Party shall be deemed to be the Independent Party, pursuant to Section 3(m). At
any time after [ * ] of the date of termination or expiration of the Research
Program Term, either Party may, upon written notice to the other Party, proceed
with development of a Non-Proposed Compound as an Independent
[ * ] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by
brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Product and such Party shall be deemed to be the Independent Party, pursuant to
Section 3(m).
c. Pre-Clinical Development. The Parties, under the direction of the
RMC shall conduct Pre-Clinical Development with respect to any designated
Collaboration Lead Compound. The costs of conducting such Pre-Clinical
Development shall be shared by the Parties as set forth in Section 3(f). Under
no circumstances shall either Party conduct studies of any Collaboration Lead
Compound in the Field except as permitted by the RMC.
d. Collaborative Development of Products. The Parties will each
diligently collaborate in the Pre-Clinical Development and Development and use
commercially reasonable efforts to develop and bring Products to the market as
soon as reasonably practicable. The role of each Party in the Development
process will be determined by the JDC, with the Parties intending that each
Party will provide advisory and supporting services with respect to each phase
of the process in which such Party is not actively or primarily involved. [ * ]
shall supply [ * ] for each Product to be promoted or co-promoted by the Parties
in the Territory in the aggregate, as determined by the JDC. A Party's required
Development effort is hereinafter referred to as its ("Required Development
Effort"). The JDC will determine appropriate written standards for measuring
Required Development Efforts and accounting procedures to confirm and document
each Party's performance of its Required Development Effort for any Product
before the Parties commence Development thereof. No clinical trials involving
any Product shall be commenced by or on behalf of either Party without the prior
approval of the JDC. Nothing contained in this Section 3(d) shall be deemed to
preclude either Party from terminating its participation in the collaborative
Development, pursuant to Section 3(l), at such time. Any decision by a Party not
to participate in development pursuant to Section 3(b) or to terminate
participation in the collaborative Development pursuant to Section 3(l) shall
not be deemed a breach of this Agreement.
e. Development Plan and Development Budget. Promptly following the
designation of a Collaboration Lead Compound pursuant to Section 3(b), the JDC
shall initiate preparation of the development plan for the Development (the
"Development Plan") and a budget (the "Development Budget") for proposed
Development Costs (as defined in Section 3(f)). The initial Development Plan
shall set time lines and priorities for the various Development activities
through [ * ] and identify which Party, or whether a Third Party, is to be
responsible for each activity. The budget for each development program shall
include a detailed short-term budget covering all proposed Development Costs of

the program expected during the subsequent [ * ] (the "Short-Term Budget
Period") of the Development process. Both Parties recognize that the Development
Plan and the Development Budget represent projections only and will be subject
to frequent changes. Each such Development Plan and Development Budget shall be
updated as deemed appropriate by the JDC, but in no event less frequently than
[ * ], and approved by the JDC not later than thirty (30) days prior to each
[ * ] of each applicable calendar year.
f. Funding of Pre-Clinical Development and Development. Tularik
shall be responsible for [ * ] of the Development Costs and JT shall be
responsible for [ * ] of such Development Costs. "Development Costs" shall mean
all costs and expenses reasonably charged directly to the Pre-Clinical
Development of any Lead Compound, Collaboration Lead Compound or Development of
any Product, as well as [*] of the functions that such Pre-Clinical Development
or Development (as calculated in accordance with GAAP and using the same
allocation methods that the Party incurring such costs uses throughout its
operations, but in all events excluding [ * ], all as specified in the
Development Plan and the Development Budget. Development Costs shall consist of
the costs of [*] dedicated to such activities [*] and [*] but shall exclude the
costs of [*] to the extent such costs are incurred. Such costs shall include,
without limitation: the [*] for the [*] used in such [*] including [*] for
Regulatory Approval, to the extent [*]); (ii) direct costs for [*], including,
but not limited to, [*] studies [*]; (iii) direct charges for materials
(including [*]; (iv) labor and materials costs incurred in connection with [*];
and (v) labor and materials costs for the development of the [*] of such process
in connection with activities provided in Section [*]. In the event the
Development Costs incurred by a Party during any calendar quarter exceed [ * ]
of the Development Costs set forth in the most recently approved Development
Budget for activities to be conducted by such Party during such quarter (the
"Overage Threshold"), then the other Party shall not be responsible for paying [
* ] of any Development Costs in excess of the Overage Threshold incurred by the
Party triggering such overage unless such overage had been approved in advance,
or is subsequently ratified, unanimously by the JDC (in which case each of the
Parties shall be responsible for [ * ] of all such Development Costs). In the
event such overage has not been approved or ratified unanimously by the JDC, the
Party incurring Development Costs exceeding the Overage Threshold in such
quarter shall be responsible for [ * ] of the Development Costs in excess of the
Overage Threshold.
g. Scientific FTE. In preparing the Development Budget and
determining Development Costs, the Parties will use a rate of [ * ] per
Scientific FTE. "Scientific FTE" means the fully-loaded costs, including [ * ],
but excluding [ * ], of employing a full-time scientific/technical person (or,
in the case of less than a full-time dedicated person, the full-time equivalent
scientific/technical person year) dedicated to the Pre-Clinical Development or
Development for a period of one (1) year, [ * ]. Such rate shall be adjusted
annually (utilizing the cost-breakdown and methodology attached hereto as
Appendix E as the basis for such adjustment) and [ * ].

h. Payment of Development Costs. Each Party shall be responsible for
paying [ * ] Development Costs incurred pursuant to the Development Plan and the
Development Budget as provided in Section 3(f), subject to reimbursement as
provided herein. Within thirty (30) days after each calendar quarter, each Party
shall provide the JDC with detailed information concerning the Development Costs
incurred by such Party during such quarter. Promptly after receipt thereof, the
JDC will determine the amount, if any, which either Party has paid in excess of
the amount to be borne by such Party for such quarter pursuant to Section 3(f)
(an "Overpayment"), and shall so notify the Parties. In the event of an
Overpayment, the other Party shall pay the amount thereof to the Party making
the Overpayment within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from the JDC
that an Overpayment has occurred.
i. Drug Approval Applications. Consistent with the Development Plan
and Development Budget and as directed by the JDC, the Parties will file
applications for regulatory approval required before commercial sale or use of a
Product as a drug in a country within the Territory ("Drug Approval
Applications") and attempt to obtain regulatory approvals in each country in the
Territory in which the Parties either individually or jointly intend to
commercialize Products. JT will be responsible for filing in its name and shall
own all regulatory submissions relating to Products including, without
limitation, all INDs and NDAs, in each country in the JT Territory, in which
Products will be commercialized. Tularik will be responsible for filing in its
name and shall own all regulatory submissions, including, without limitation,
all INDs and NDAs in each country in the Tularik Territory in which Products
will be commercialized. The JDC will be responsible for designating a Party to
be responsible for filing all regulatory submissions in each country in the Co-
Promotion Territory in which Products will be commercialized. The Party not
responsible for filing regulatory submissions for Products in a country pursuant
to this Agreement shall have a right to cross-reference to all such filings made
by the other Party in any country. The Parties will cooperate in the preparation
of all such regulatory filings and in obtaining Regulatory Approvals under this
Section 3(i).
j. Line Extensions. JT and Tularik may each prepare and submit to

Party, subject to Section 3(n), such Independent Party shall be entitled to
develop such Independent Lead Compound and commercialize such Independent
Product at its sole discretion, alone or with a Third Party, with no obligation
to the other Party.
n. Re-engagement Option. Either Party may elect to resume its
participation in the Pre-Clinical Development or Development of an Independent
Lead Compound or Independent Product in all countries in the Territory by so
notifying the other Party in writing (the "Re-engagement Notice"), at any time
prior to the expiration of the [ * ] period commencing upon receipt by such
Party of the final report summarizing the results of [ * ] ("Re-Engagement
Expiration Date") for such Independent Lead Compound or Independent Product

payable on a quarterly basis in respect of each country in which sales occur
until the later of expiration of all patents included in the Program Patents and
Patent Rights necessary to make, use, import for sale or sell such Product in
such country, or [ * ] years after first commercial sale of an Independent
Product in such country. "Net Sales" shall mean the gross sales prices of the
Product in finished product form, invoiced by a Party or the Independent Party,
as the case may be, its affiliates and sublicensees from sales to arms'-length
Third Party end users, less, to the extent such amounts are included in the
invoiced sales price, taxes, shipping costs (including freight and insurance)

gross invoiced sales price: (i) cash, trade and/or quantity discounts actually
allowed; (ii) amounts repaid or credited by reason of rejection or return of
goods; (iii) volume or formal discount amounts paid or credited to a wholesaler,
purchaser, Third Party payor or other contractee as a result of a contractual
arrangement specific to a Product; (iv) rebates paid or credited to any
governmental agency (or branch thereof) or to any Third Party payor,
administrator or contractee; and (v) discounts mandated by, or granted in

royalties it must pay to Third Parties pursuant to any licenses necessary to
commercialize Products against royalties payable by the Independent Party to the
non-Independent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall the royalties
payable by the Independent Party to the non-Independent Party be reduced to less
than [ * ] of the amounts that would have otherwise been due under the
percentages set forth in this Section 4(f).

c. Election or Revocation of Co-Promotion Right. In the Co-
Promotion Alternative (as defined in Section 5(d)(ii)), either Party may
terminate early its participation in the co-promotion of a Product in any
country in the Co-Promotion Territory at any time following [ * ] prior written
notice to the other Party. In such case, the other Party may continue promotion
of such Product, as an Independent Product, either alone or with a Third Party,
in such country in the Co-Promotion Territory, effective as of the date of the
terminating Party's notice hereunder. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith
for a period of [ * ] following the receipt of such notice to determine the
appropriate royalty to be paid on Net Sales of such Independent Product in such
country in the Co-Promotion Territory. In the event the Parties are unable to
agree on the appropriate royalty pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence,
the Independent Party with respect to such Independent Product shall pay to the
other Party a royalty on Net Sales of such Independent Product in such country
in the Co-Promotion Territory pursuant to Section 4(f), except that the
applicable royalty shall equal: [ * ] on the portion of aggregate Net Sales of
such Independent Product in such country up to [ * ] on the portion of aggregate
Net Sales of such Independent Product in such country in excess of [ * ]; and [
* ] on the portion of aggregate Net Sales of such Independent Product in such
country in excess of [ * ]. In the event a Party elects to cease participating
in the co-promotion of a Product of such Independent Product in a country in the
Co-Promotion Territory and the Independent Party proceeds to commercialize such
Product as an Independent Product, the non-Independent Party shall (i) transfer
and assign to the Independent Party all regulatory submissions and Drug Approval
Applications in such country relating to such Collaboration Lead Compound and/or
Products based upon or incorporating such Collaboration Lead Compound, together
with all materials and data related thereto in its possession and (ii) transfer
to the Independent Party all other relevant information that will enable such
Independent Party to promote such product as an Independent Product in such
country. A non-Independent Party may not reinitiate its participation in the
co-promotion of a Product in any given country in the Co-Promotion Territory in
which it relinquished such right hereunder.

Promotion Territory during the Term, based on the principle of maximizing
profits from sales of Products, by unanimous decisions. The MC shall have the
ability to determine whether the objective of maximizing profits from sales of
Products in the Co-Promotion Territory during the Term is best achieved through,
inter alia, [ * ]. In the event the MC determines that the foregoing objective
is best achieved by activities other than as provided in Sections 5(d)(ii), (e),
(f), (g) and (h), the MC shall determine [ * ] the optimal alternative structure
and the duties, responsibilities and economic parameters for the Parties and
Third Parties in such alternative structure. The Parties shall use reasonable
efforts to ensure that any sublicense negotiated by a Party or the Parties
pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) or 4(b)(i) shall: (a) [ * ]; and (b) provide that
any revenues or other consideration received from such sublicensee as
consideration for the grant of such sublicense in the Co-Promotion Territory,
less [ * ], shall be [ * ] and paid directly to each Party by such
sublicensee.
(ii) In the absence of [ * ] by the MC pursuant to Section 5(d)(i) or
in the event of a [ * ] by the MC to retain for the Parties commercialization
rights to a Product in the Co-Promotion Territory (the "Co-Promotion
Alternative"), JT and Tularik shall have the co-exclusive responsibility for
promoting such Product in the Co-Promotion Territory. Tularik and JT shall each
work diligently to perform its respective obligations under the Marketing Plan
and use the same effort such Party puts forth to promote other products of
similar commercial value to co-promote such Product in the Co-Promotion
Territory from initiation of pre-launch activities for such Product in the Co-
Promotion Territory until the expiration of the Term pursuant to the terms and
conditions hereof. The Parties intend that [ * ] shall supply [ * ] of the
total promotional and marketing effort (including details, if determined to be
an appropriate sales activity for a Party by the MC) for each Product being co-
promoted by the Parties in the Co-Promotion Territory, as determined by the MC.
Each Party's required promotional and marketing effort under the Marketing Plan
is hereinafter referred to as its "Required Sales Effort". The MC will
determine appropriate written standards for measuring and accounting procedures
to confirm and document each Party's performance of its Required Sales Effort,
one (1) month after the filing of the NDA for any Product. Nothing contained in
this Section 5(d) shall be deemed to preclude either Party from relinquishing
its right to participate in the co-promotion of Products in the Co-Promotion
Territory pursuant to Section 5(c), at any time. Any failure to provide the
Required Sales Effort shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement.

month after [ * ], the MC shall initiate preparation of a marketing plan
("Marketing Plan") and a marketing budget ("Marketing Budget"). The co-promotion
of a Product in the Co-Promotion Territory will be governed by the Marketing
Plan and Marketing Budget. The Marketing Plan and Marketing Budget will describe
fully, to the extent practicable, the proposed plan for commercialization of the
Product in each country in the Co-Promotion Territory, including overall
marketing strategy, marketing, sales and promotion efforts to be performed by
each Party, market and sales forecasts, pricing and discounting analysis and
estimated launch date, as well as advertising and other promotional materials
to be used in the co-promotion of Products. The Marketing Plan will take into
consideration to be used in the co-promotion of Products. The Marketing Plan
will take into consideration market conditions, regulatory factors and
competition with respect to Products. The Marketing Budget will include all
projected Co-Promotion Expenses for the Product. The initial Marketing Plan and
Marketing Budget shall be prepared by the MC no later than [ * ] the first
filing of an NDA (or its foreign equivalent) for a Product in any country in the
Co-Promotion Territory. Each such Marketing Plan and Marketing Budget shall
thereafter be updated by the MC [ * ].
f. Promotional and Advertising Materials in the Co-Promotion
Territory. In the Co-Promotion Alternative, the Parties shall disseminate in the
Co-Promotion Territory only those promotional and advertising materials that
have been provided or approved for use by the MC, and the cost of producing such
materials shall be a Co-Promotion Expense of the Party incurring such cost. All
such materials shall be consistent with the relevant Marketing Plan and
Marketing Budget approved by the MC and neither Party shall make any claims or
representations in respect of the Products that have not been approved by the
MC. In all written or visual materials related to Products that identify either
of the Parties, the Parties will be presented and described to the medical
communities (including, for example, the physician, pharmacy, governmental,
reimbursement and hospital sectors) as joining in the promotion of the Product
as permitted by applicable law. All such written and visual materials and all
documentary information, promotional material and oral presentations (where
practical) regarding the promotion of the Product will state this arrangement
and will display the JT and Tularik names and logos with equal prominence as
permitted by applicable law and as directed by the MC.
g. Miscellaneous. In the Co-Promotion Alternative, the MC shall by
unanimous decision designate a Party as being primarily responsible in the Co-

g. Meetings to Discuss Estimates. The Non-Marketing Party may call
a meeting of the Parties to review and discuss in good faith the Estimates and
the Supporting Calculations (including the resulting Royalty Rate). Such
meeting shall be held at a mutually agreeable time and place not more than [ * ]
after notice is given by the Non-Marketing Party. In the event that the Non-

alleged infringement of a Third Party's trademark, trade dress or similar
intellectual property rights, each Party shall promptly notify the other and
cooperate in the defense of any such action or proceeding, as applicable. The

service of every serious or unexpected side effect, adverse reaction or injury
that has been brought to that Party's attention and which is alleged to have
been caused by a Product. For each country in the Territory, the Party that has
the responsibility for filing the Drug Approval Application and the IND (or
foreign equivalent) in such country for such Product shall have all rights and
responsibilities to report such side effect, adverse reaction or injury to the
appropriate regulatory authorities as required by applicable law.
