the partnership wouldn't be formed until both parties get their own terms from the arrangement. Way i see it they put out a bounty for whomever unlocks secrets of metagene first, krolos, brainiac, reach, w/e, whomever wins gets whatever the Light is offerring or a proper alliance. Reach responded and are working on it with the outsourced kids, they havent sealed it yet. Lex was making preparations for them as they seal the alliance. Why else would terms like "competition" be used?, the Light clearly favour the Reach because they sabotaged Krolos attempt and probably have significantly higher prospects in the first place, so are more accomodating to them so we've seen.
