FIRST ADDENDUM TO THE FRAUNHOFER USA CENTER FOR
MOLECULAR BIOTECHNOLOGY TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER AGREEMENT

ADDENDUM, made as of the 15th day of March, 2005, between Fraunhofer USA, Inc., acting through its Center for Molecular Biotechnology ("Fraunhofer") and INBBioTechnologies, Inc. ("INB") (f/k/a NuCycle Therapy, Inc.)

RECITALS

On December 18th, 2003, Fraunhofer and INB signed an agreement titled "Fraunhofer USA Center for Molecular Biotechnology Technology Transfer Agreement" (the "Agreement"). The Agreement has an effective date of January 1, 2004. The execution draft of the Agreement was prepared by counsel for INB, who had not been directly involved in negotiating the terms of the Agreement prior to reviewing the proposed execution draft of the Agreement. INB's legal counsel made a few minor revisions to the final draft of the Agreement and transmitted a signature-ready version of the Agreement to Fraunhofer and INB for final review and signature. Those changes included revising the language of Section 3.1 of the Agreement to state that the payment characterized in Section 3.1 of the Agreement as the Initial Research Support Grant was being paid in consideration of services to be provided by Fraunhofer to INB during the term of the Agreement. In prior drafts of the Agreement, Section 3.1 had provided that the initial research support grant was being paid in consideration of services provided by Fraunhofer to INB prior to the term of the Agreement. In changing the language of Section 3.1, counsel for INB did not realize that the parties had specifically negotiated the first sentence of Section 3.1 to read as presented in the previous drafts, for reasons that are material and important to Fraunhofer's financial accounting. Fraunhofer and INB signed the final draft of the Agreement without being aware that the first sentence of Section 3.1 had been changed by counsel for INB. The Science Director of the Fraunhofer Center for Molecular Biotechnology discovered the change to the first sentence of Section 3.1. of the Agreement sometime after signing the Agreement. The parties have agreed to sign this Addendum for the purpose of adopting the language that they intended to include in Section 3.1 of the Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1.     Section 3.1. Section 3.1. of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is replaced by the following:

"Section 3.1. Initial Research and Support Grant. In consideration of services provided by Fraunhofer to the Company prior to the term of this Agreement, but not including services provided by Fraunhofer pursuant to the Fraunhofer USA, Inc. - NuCycle Therapy, Inc. Research Agreement, dated March 4, 2002, and subject to the provisions of Section 5.4 of this Agreement, Company shall pay to Fraunhofer an initiation fee of $500,000 ("Initial Research Support Grant") upon the effective date of this Agreement." In Year 1 (one) of this agreement Fraunhofer USA's research spending in the Field shall be no less then $750,000.


2.      Other Terms. Except as specifically provided in this Addendum, the other terms of the Agreement remain in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have signed this Addendum effective as of the day and year above written.
