                                                                   EXHIBIT 10.64


                             FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE

              GENOMIC DATABASE COLLABORATION AND LICENSE AGREEMENT

Dear Mr. Gessler:

        This letter will serve as an amendment to the Genomic Database
Collaboration and License Agreement ("Agreement"), dated December 30, 1998,
between Procter & Gamble Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("P&GP") and Gene Logic Inc.
("Gene Logic"). Except as modified below, all terms and conditions of the
Agreement are incorporated into and made part of this amendment as though
expressly set forth herein.

         The Parties desire to amend the Agreement to specify the Consumer Price
Index ("CPI") that will be utilized to adjust the annual rate of payment for
each Scientific FTE. Accordingly, the Parties agree to amend the Paragraph 8.3
of the Agreement as follows (where bold text constitutes modified language):

         8.3      Research Support.

                  (a)      During the Research Term, P&GP shall provide Gene
                           Logic with financial support for the Research
                           Programs for Gene Logic's Scientific FTEs at a rate
                           of [***] per Scientific FTE. The Scientific FTE
                           payment rate payable pursuant to this Section 8.3(a)
                           shall be reevaluated annually on each anniversary of
                           the Effective Date and adjusted in proportion to the
                           percentage increase for the 12-month period ending in
                           November of that year in the Consumer Price Index of
                           all urban consumers as provided by the U.S. Bureau of
                           Labor Statistics. THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX USED WILL
                           BE THAT FOR THE WASHINGTON-BALTIMORE, DC-MD-VA-WV
                           AREA, UNLESS MODIFIED BY THE U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR
                           STATISTICS. The number of Scientific FTEs for each
                           year of the Research Term will be set forth in the
                           applicable Research Plan; provided that such research
                           funding shall not support fewer than the number of
                           Scientific FTEs specified in Section 2.2 in any one
                           year period during the Research Term or at such lower
                           level as the parties may mutually agree taking into
                           account the work to be accomplished pursuant to the
                           Research Plans.
