AMENDMENT TO 1999 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
EXHIBIT 4.1
1999 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
The 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1999 Plan") of Texas Biotechnology
Corporation (the "Company") is hereby amended as follows effective March 13,
2001.
1. The first paragraph of Section 1.4 is amended to read as
follows in its entirety:
Subject to adjustment under Section 5.5, there shall be
available for Incentive Awards under the Plan that are granted wholly
or partly in Common Stock (including rights or Stock Options that may
be exercised for or settled in Common Stock) Three Million (3,000,000)
Shares of Common Stock. Three Million (3,000,000) of the Shares
reserved under the Plan shall be available for grants of Incentive
Stock Options. The number of Shares of Common Stock that are the
subject of Incentive Awards under this Plan, that are forfeited or
terminated, expire unexercised, are settled in cash in lieu of Common
Stock or in a manner such that all or some of the Shares covered by an
Incentive Award are not issued to a Grantee or are exchanged for
Incentive Awards that do not involve Common Stock, shall again
immediately become available for Incentive Awards hereunder. The
Committee may from time to time adopt and observe such procedures
concerning the counting of Shares against the Plan maximum as it may
deem appropriate. The Board and the appropriate officers of the Company
shall from time to time take whatever actions are necessary to file any
required documents with governmental authorities, stock exchanges and
transaction reporting systems to ensure that Shares are available for
issuance pursuant to Incentive Awards.
During such period that the Company is a Publicly Held
Corporation, then unless and until the Committee determines that a
particular Incentive Award granted to a Covered Employee is not
intended to comply with the Performance-Based Exception, the following
rules shall apply to grants of Incentive Awards to Covered Employees:
(a) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.5,
the maximum aggregate number of Shares of Common Stock
(including Stock Options, Restricted Stock, or Other
Stock-Based Awards paid out in Shares) that may be granted or
that may vest, as applicable, in any calendar year pursuant to
any Incentive Award held by any individual Covered Employee
shall be 3,000,000 Shares.
(b) The maximum aggregate cash payout (including
Other Stock-Based Awards paid out in cash) with respect to
Incentive Awards granted in any calendar year which may be
made to any Covered Employee shall be Ten Million dollars
($10,000,000).
(c) With respect to any Stock Option granted to a
Covered Employee that is canceled or repriced, the number of
Shares subject to such Stock Option shall continue to count
against the maximum number of Shares that may be the subject
of Stock Options granted to such Covered Employee hereunder
and, in this regard, such maximum number shall be determined
in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code.
(d) The limitations of subsections (a), (b) and (c)
above shall be construed and administered so as to comply with
the Performance-Based Exception.

Re: TEXAS BIOTECHNOLOGY CORPORATION REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM
S-8; 1999 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN, AS AMENDED
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Texas Biotechnology Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("Company"), in connection with the preparation for filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission of a registration statement on Form S-8
("Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The
Registration Statement relates to the registration of an additional 2,000,000
shares ("Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $.005 per share
("Common Stock"), issuable pursuant to the Company's 1999 Stock Incentive Plan,
as amended (the "Plan").
We have examined the Plan and such corporate records, documents,
instruments and certificates of the Company, and have reviewed such questions of
law, as we have deemed necessary, relevant or appropriate to enable us to render
the opinion expressed herein. In such examination, we have assumed without
independent investigation the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as
originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural
persons, and the conformity of any documents submitted to us as copies to their
respective originals. As to certain questions of fact material to this opinion,
we have relied without independent investigation upon statements or certificates
of public officials and officers of the Company.
Based upon such examination and review, we are of the opinion that the
Shares have been duly and validly authorized and will, upon issuance and
delivery as contemplated by the Plan, be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable outstanding shares of Common Stock.
This Firm consents to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
/s/ PORTER & HEDGES, L.L.P.
