written notice thereof is provided to the breaching party by the non-breaching
party. Any such termination shall become effective at the end of such sixty (60)
day period unless the breaching party (or any other party on its behalf) has
cured any such breach or default prior to the expiration of the sixty (60) day
period; provided in the case of a failure to pay any amount due hereunder, such
default may be the basis of termination thirty (30) days following the date that
notice of such default was provided to the breaching party.
7.3 Termination for Insolvency. If voluntary or involuntary
proceedings by or against a party are instituted in bankruptcy under any
insolvency law, or a receiver or custodian is appointed for such party, or
proceedings are instituted by or against such party for corporate reorganization
or the dissolution of such party, which proceedings, if involuntary, shall not
have been dismissed within sixty (60) days after the date of filing, or if such
party makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or substantially all of
the assets of such party are seized or attached and not released within sixty
(60) days thereafter, the other party may immediately terminate this Agreement
effective upon notice of such termination.
7.4 Effects.
(a) Accrued Liability. It is understood that
termination of this Agreement shall not relieve a party from any liability
which, at the time of such termination, has already accrued to the other party.
(b) Survival. The provisions of Articles 1, 4, 6 and
8 and Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 and 7.4 shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Agreement for any reason. In addition, the provisions of
Sections 2.1, 3.1 and 3.3 shall survive the expiration or termination of this
Agreement for cause by Tularik following breach by Array but not termination for
cause by Array following breach by Tularik. All other rights and obligations of
the parties shall cease upon expiration or termination of this Agreement. For
purposes of the foregoing, if a Section that so survives is expressly stated to
continue for a period of time specified in such surviving Section, the same
shall survive only for the remainder of the period specified in such Section.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article 7, all other rights and
obligations of the parties shall terminate.

8.8 Severability. In the event that any provision of this
Agreement 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, and the parties shall amend the Agreement to the
extent feasible to lawfully include the substance of the excluded provision to

have entered into this Agreement without the invalid provision(s).

payment obligations) shall be excused to the extent that performance is rendered
impossible by acts of God, strike, fire, earthquake, flood, governmental acts or

intentional conduct or misconduct of the non-performing party, provided such
party uses its best efforts to resume performance as promptly as possible.

NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL,

AGREEMENT, WHETHER SUCH CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE)
OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF SUCH PARTY IS ADVISED OF
THE POSSIBILITY OR LIKELIHOOD OF SAME. THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY

THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS SECTION 8.10 REPRESENTS A REASONABLE
ALLOCATION OF RISK.
