Entry

Agreement

On June
8, 2009, we entered into an amendment to our Second Amended and Restated
Collaboration and License Agreement dated as of November 30, 2005 with
Genentech, Inc. In the amendment, Genentech agreed to waive its
option on the potential development and commercialization of our LG842 and LG843
biotherapeutics programs, along with certain associated diligence requirements,
in exchange for our agreement to waive our right to select up to four additional
targets from the alliance for our own internal biotherapeutics drug discovery
and to receive the initial milestone payment (at the filing of an
investigational new drug application) for up to two Genentech products resulting
from the alliance.
Signatures
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has
