Lawrence and Robert J. Connaughton, Jr. (each, an "Agent," and collectively, "Agents") or any of them, his or her true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent for and in his or her name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to sign, execute and affix his or her seal to, and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any other governmental or regulatory authority), the registration statement relating to shelf registration of $100,000,000 of ArQule securities on Form S-3 or any other appropriate form and all amendments or supplements (including post-effective amendments), and any subsequent registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with all exhibits and any and all documents required to be filed therewith or with respect thereto.
