Research and Development Collaboration. 2.1 OVERVIEW. The primary purpose of the Collaboration is to conduct Research and Development toward the discovery and development of Collaboration Products in accordance with the Annual Research Plan. To that end, it is contemplated by the parties that: (a) Neurocrine will have primary responsibility for supplying certain cell lines necessary for the study of glial cell activation, providing small molecule compounds from the Neurocrine Chemical Library, performing limited medicinal chemistry as required by the Annual Research Plan, and conducting certain screening and secondary assays and screening compounds from the Neurocrine Chemical Library against Rigel Targets; (b) Neurocrine and Rigel will share responsibility for applying the Rigel Technology to develop an appropriate glial cell assay system to identify Protein Targets and Peptide Antagonists; and (c) Rigel will have primary responsibility for identifying and providing Protein Targets, identifying and sequencing gene(s) coding for the Protein Targets, and generating, identifying and providing Peptide Antagonists of such Protein Targets. Rigel will also have responsibility for providing Rigel Targets to Neurocrine for screening purposes. It is understood that the individual and joint responsibilities will be set forth in detail in the Annual Research Plan to be developed pursuant to Section 3.2.
