representative as a member of the Board, the Fund shall be

acquire pursuant to the $.70 Warrants, the $.875 Warrants and the
Conversion Right is to the number of issued Apollo Common Shares. The
Fund shall advise Apollo within 10 Business Days of the receipt of
notice of a new Financing from Apollo of its intention with respect to
participating in the relevant Financing, failing which it will be
deemed to have elected not to have participated in the relevant

been made pursuant to this Agreement to the date that the payment

4.2 NON-WAIVER AND AUDIT

The acceptance by the Fund of any payment in respect of the Purchased Rights
shall be deemed not to be a waiver of any of its rights hereunder. The
Fund's authorized agents, employees and representatives shall have the right
to inspect and audit at all reasonable times during business hours, but in
any event not more than once each calendar year of the Term, the books,
records, documentation, sales reports, statements of profit and loss and Tax

Sales Revenue, Fees and Income or Royalties as reported to the Fund by
Apollo, then Apollo shall pay the Fund within 15 days after receipt of notice
from the Fund an amount equal to the amount the Royalties have been underpaid
in any such year of the Term, together with interest thereon at the Prime
Rate plus 5% calculated from the date such amount should have been paid to

ARTICLE 7
INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 MUTUAL INDEMNIFICATIONS FOR BREACHES OF WARRANTY, ETC.

Apollo agrees with the Fund and the Fund agrees with Apollo (the Party
agreeing to indemnify another Party being called the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY" and
the Party to be indemnified being called the "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") to
indemnify and save harmless the Indemnified Party, effective as and from the
date hereof, from and against any claims, demands, actions, causes of action,
damage, loss, cost, liability or expense ("CLAIMS") which may be made or
brought against the Indemnified Party or which it may suffer or incur as a
result of, in respect of, or arising out of any non-fulfillment of any
covenant or agreement on the part of the Indemnifying Party under this
Agreement or any Closing Document or any incorrectness in or breach of any
representation or warranty of the Indemnifying Party contained herein or in
any Closing Document. Any amount which an Indemnifying Party is liable to
pay to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section shall bear interest at a
rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate, calculated and payable monthly, both
before and after judgment, with interest on overdue interest at the same
rate, from the date the Indemnified Party disbursed funds, suffered damages
or losses or incurred a loss, liability or expense in respect of a Claim, to
the date of payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party. Any
amount which an Indemnifying Party is required to pay to an Indemnified Party
pursuant to this Section or pursuant to Section 7.2 (including interest
thereon) is called an "Indemnified Loss". The foregoing obligation of
indemnification in respect of such Claims shall be subject to the limitation
set forth in Section 3.5 hereof respecting the survival of the
representations and warranties of the Parties.

7.2 THIRD PARTY CLAIMS

If a Claim is made against an Indemnified Party by a Third Party for which

the Indemnified Party shall give notice (the "INDEMNITY NOTICE") to the
Indemnifying Party specifying the particulars of such claim within 30 days
after it receives notification of the Claim. Failure to give such notice
within such time period shall not prejudice the rights of an Indemnified
Party except to the extent that the failure to give such notice materially
adversely affects the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend the Claim
or to cure the breach or incorrectness of the representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement giving rise to the Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall
have the right to participate in any negotiations or proceedings with respect
to such Claim at its own expense. The Indemnified Party shall not settle or
compromise any such Claim without the prior written consent of the
Indemnifying Party, unless

whole or from time to time in part, in accordance with and subject to the
provisions hereof up to 5:00 p.m. (Massachusetts time) on the final day of
the Term (the "Time of Expiry"). If the Conversion Right has not been
exercised by the Time of Expiry, all rights thereunder shall wholly cease
and terminate and shall be void and of no value or effect. The Conversion
Right may be exercised by surrendering to Apollo at its address for notice,
at any time after the date hereof up to the Time of Expiry, a Subscription
Form, substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 1, duly
completed and executed.

(b) PARTIAL EXERCISE The Fund may subscribe for and have issued to it a number
of Apollo Common Shares less than the total number it is entitled to
pursuant to the Conversion Right provided that it subscribes for a minimum
of US$ 150,000 of Apollo Common Shares each time. Partial exercises of the
Conversion Right shall be recorded by the Fund on the grid attached to the
Subscription Form as Appendix 1. the grid shall be initialed by the
Parties and form part of the Subscription Form. The grid, as so initialed,
shall, in the absence of manifest error, constitute conclusive proof of the
dates, amounts, numbers, information and factors set out therein.

(c) SHARE CERTIFICATES Within ten (10) Business Days after the delivery of a
duly completed and executed Subscription Form by the Fund (the "Exercise
Date"), Apollo shall issue and deliver to the Fund's address for notice,
registered in such name or names as the Fund may direct or if no such
direction has been given, in the name of the Fund, a certificate or
certificates representing the number of Apollo Common Shares issuable under
the Conversion Right as a result of the delivery of the Subscription Form.
Such exercise shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of
business on the Exercise Date and at such time the rights of the Fund with
respect to the portion of the Conversion Right which has been exercised as
such shall cease, and the person or persons in whose name or names any
certificate or certificates for Apollo Common Shares shall then be issuable
upon such exercise or deemed exercise shall be deemed to have become the
holder or holders of record of the Apollo Common Shares represented
thereby.

(d) CONVERSION RATE Subject to the aggregate limits set out in Article 5, the
Fund may convert any portion of the Purchase Price from time to time. The
Fund shall not be bound to first convert all of the portion of the

greater than the number of Apollo Common Shares immediately prior to the
Event, then the conversion rates per share expressed in United States
dollars in Sections 5.1(a)(i) and (b)(i) of the Agreement in effect
immediately prior to such Event shall be reduced by the reciprocal of the
multiple required to be used to arrive at the new number of securities. If

number of Apollo Common Shares immediately prior to the Event, then the
conversion rate per share expressed in United States dollars in Sections
5.1(a)(i) and (b)(i) of the Agreement in effect immediately prior to such
Event shall be increased by the reciprocal of the fraction required to be
used to arrive at the new number of securities.

its outstanding Apollo Common Shares into a greater number of Apollo Common
Shares, the conversion rate per share expressed in United States Dollars in
Sections 5.1(a)(i) and (b)(i) of the Agreement in effect immediately prior

event Apollo shall consolidate its outstanding Apollo Common Shares into a
lesser number of Apollo Common Shares, the conversion rate per share
expressed in United States dollars in Sections 5.1(a)(i) and (b)(i) of the
Agreement in effect immediately prior to such consolidation shall be
increased by the reciprocal of the fraction used to arrive at the new
number of Apollo Common Shares.

Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common
Shares to all or substantial of the holders of the Apollo Common Shares as
a stock dividend; or (ii) makes a distribution on its outstanding Apollo
Common Shares payable in Apollo Common

-3-

Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Apollo Common
Shares, the conversion rate per share expressed in United States dollars
in Sections 5.1(a)(i) and (b)(i) of the Agreement in effect immediately
prior to such stock dividend or distribution shall be reduced by the
reciprocal of the multiple used to arrive at the new number of Apollo
Common Shares (on a fully diluted basis).

(i) OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS In the event Apollo makes a distribution (a
"Distribution") on its outstanding Apollo Common Shares payable in (i) the
shares of Apollo of any class other than Apollo Common Shares; (ii) rights,
options or warrants to acquire shares or securities exchangeable for or
convertible into shares or property or other assets of Apollo; (iii)
evidence of indebtedness; or (iv) any property or other assets of Apollo,

5.1(a)(i) and (b)(i) of the Agreement in effect immediately prior to such
Distribution shall be reduced by a fraction that is equal to the ratio of
the aggregate fair market value of Apollo immediately following the
Distribution to the fair market value immediately prior to the
Distribution;

(j) NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT Upon any adjustment of the conversion rate expressed
in United States dollars in Section 5.1(a)(i) and (b)(i) of the Agreement
then and in each case Apollo shall give written notice thereof to the Fund,
which notice shall state the conversion rates resulting from such
adjustment, and shall upon receipt of the written request of the Fund set
forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon
which such calculation in based.

(k) ADJUSTMENTS CUMULATIVE The adjustments provided for herein are cumulative
and will: (i) be computed to the nearest one-tenth of one cent; and (ii) be
made successively whenever an event referred to herein occurs.

(l) FINANCINGS In the event Apollo completes a Financing as a result of which
Apollo issues securities convertible into or exchangeable for Apollo Common
Shares, the price per share at which Apollo Common Shares were issued shall
be, for the purposes of Sections 5.1(a)(ii) and (b)(ii) of the Agreement,
the lowest of: (i) the imputed price per share on a fully diluted basis;
(ii) the unit price less an amount equal to the price per option or warrant
of any options or warrants which, together with Apollo Common Shares, form
part of the Unit determined by applying the Black Scholes pricing model;
and (iii) the lowest exercise price or conversion or exchange rate at which
any securities issued by Apollo pursuant to the relevant Financing may be
convertible into or exchangeable for Apollo Common Shares.

evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements enumerated above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Apollo Genetics,
Inc. at December 31 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and for
the period from July 9, 1992 (inception) through December 31, 1995 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying condensed balance sheet of Apollo Genetics, Inc. as at
September 30, 1996 and the related condensed statements of operations and cash
flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 and the
period from July 9, 1992 (inception) through September 30, 1996 were not
audited by us and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion on them.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Information as of September 30, 1996 and for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996
and 1995 is unaudited)

(NOTE A) - THE COMPANY:

Apollo Genetics, Inc. (the "Company"), was incorporated on July 9, 1992.
The Company's objective is to develop biopharmaceutical products for
deterring aspects of human aging.

The Company is in the development stage and its efforts through December
31, 1995 have been principally devoted to organizational activities, raising
capital and initial research and development activities. It does not expect
commercial operations in the foreseeable future. The Company anticipates that
it will need substantial additional financing to complete its research and to
develop commercial products. The Company is endeavoring to obtain additional
financing for the next phase of its research activities; however, there is no
assurance that such financing can be obtained or that the Company's research
will be successful.

On November 6, 1996 the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the
filing of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission
for the initial public offering of shares of the Company's common stock.

(NOTE B) - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

(1) ORGANIZATION COSTS:

The Company has capitalized certain costs, primarily legal expenses,
related to its organization. These costs are being amortized by the
straight-line method over five years.

(2) PATENT COSTS:

Patent costs will be amortized over the estimated useful lives of
the underlying patents commencing with the date when revenue is earned
related to the patents.

(3) USE OF ESTIMATES:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The condensed financial statements as of September 30, 1996 and for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995 are

September 30, 1996 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and
September 30, 1995, include all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation. Such adjustments were of a recurring nature.

(NOTE C) - STOCK SUBSCRIPTIONS RECEIVABLE:

All stock subscriptions receivable were paid in full in October 1996.

(NOTE D) - NOTES PAYABLE:

During the 1995 and 1994, the Company issued $210,000 of 10% convertible
notes payable. The notes are due in full at the earlier of September 19, 1997
or the closing of the next offering of common stock of the Company with

of the Company at a price equal to 110% of the principal amount plus any
accrued and unpaid interest. The notes may be converted into common stock of
the Company at any time prior to the redemption or maturity date. The
conversion price is subject to adjustment as defined in the agreement. The

conjunction with these notes, the Company issued warrants for the purchase of
700,000 shares of its common stock. The value assigned to the warrants,

amortized over the period of time the notes are expected to be outstanding.
The effective interest rate on the notes, including the debt discount, is
approximately 12%. The warrants are more fully discussed in Note E(3).
