1.       AMENDMENT OF THE AGREEMENT

         The Parties hereby agree to amend the terms of the Agreement as

         1.1 AMEND SECTION 4.1. Section 4.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended
to delete subsection (c) in its entirety and replace it with the following: "(c)
(i) Within forty-five (45) days after the Amendment Effective Date, Lilly will

2003 and the second anniversary of the Effective Date exceeds [...***...]."
