acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Amendments. The TRAP Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
-----------
A. Section 1.1 is hereby revised in its entirety to read as follows:
1.1 Selected Targets. From time to time during the term of this
Agreement, Sanwa may notify Telik of a Sanwa Target, or pursuant to
the terms of Section 1.5, a Third Party Target, (collectively
"Selected Target") which Sanwa wishes to use in screening compounds
submitted by Telik; provided, however, Sanwa may not submit more than
[*] Selected Targets (not including Excluded Targets) during the term
of this Agreement as set forth in Section 7.1 hereof.
B. Section 1.2 is hereby revised in its entirety to read as follows:
1.2 Screening.
(a) Within [*] of receipt of a notice from Sanwa in accordance
with Subsection 1.1, subject to Subsection 1.3 below, Telik shall,
based upon its knowledge of the Telik Library and using the TRAPTM
technology, select and provide to Sanwa, or a third party pursuant to
an Approved Agreement [*] compounds ("Initial Compounds") from the
Telik Library that Telik believes, in its sole discretion, represent
maximum chemical compound diversity in the Telik
1.
Library. Sanwa shall, or a third party pursuant to an Approved
Agreement may, screen each Initial Compound for selected activity in
relation to the Selected Target and provide Telik the data resulting
therefrom ("Initial Results"), including but not limited to the
concentration at which each Initial Compound elicits a response
which is 50% of the maximum response in the Selected Assay (the
"EC50") resulting therefrom.
(b) Promptly after receipt of the Initial Results Telik shall,
based upon the Initial Results and using the TRAPTM Technology or any
other search technology available to Telik, select and provide to
Sanwa, or a third party pursuant to an Approved Agreement, [*]
compounds ("Secondary Compounds") from the Telik Library that Telik
believes, in its sole discretion, will exhibit the greatest likelihood
of activity in relation to the Selected Target. Sanwa shall, or a
third party pursuant to an Approved Agreement may, screen each
Secondary Compound for selected activity in relation to the Selected
Target and provide Telik the data resulting therefrom ("Secondary
Results"), including but not limited to the EC50 for each Secondary
Compound.
(c) If [*] that further screening activity is necessary, then
based upon the Initial Results and Secondary Results and using the
TRAPTM Technology or any other search technology available to Telik,
Telik shall select and provide to Sanwa, or a third party pursuant to
an Approved Agreement [*] compounds ("Tertiary Compounds") from the
Telik Library that Telik believes, in its sole discretion, will
exhibit the greatest likelihood of additional assay activity in
relation to the Selected Target. Sanwa will, or a third party
pursuant to an Approved Agreement may, screen each Tertiary Compound
for selected activity in relation to the Selected Target and provide
Telik the data resulting therefrom ("Tertiary Results"), including but
not limited to the EC50 for each Tertiary Compound.
C. Section 1.3 is hereby revised in its entirety to read as follows:
1.3 Excluded Targets. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, Telik shall not be obligated to perform any of the services
described in Section 1.2 with respect to any proposed Selected Targets
that Telik determines are identical to or in conflict with biological
targets included in any research collaboration between Telik and a
third party corporate entity or any other biological targets which
Telik is already actively pursuing, prior to receipt of a notice
pursuant to Section 1.1 or Section 1.5 identifying such Selected
Target ("Excluded Targets"). Telik shall notify Sanwa if a proposed
Selected Target is an Excluded Target promptly after receipt of
Sanwa's notice under Section 1.1 or Section 1.5 relating thereto.
