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
33

the Indemnity Notice, given notice to the Indemnified Party that it wishes to
dispute such Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does give such a notice, it
shall have the right at its own cost and expense to assume the defence of
such Claim and to defend such Claim in the name of the Indemnified Party.

books, records and other information in its possession or control which may
be relevant to the defence of such Claim. The Indemnified Party shall
co-operate in all reasonable respects in the defence of such Claim but at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party fails, after
the giving of such notice, diligently and reasonably to defend such Claim
throughout the period that such Claim exists, its right to defend the Claim
shall terminate and the Indemnified Party may assume the defence of such
Claim at the sole expense of the Indemnifying Party. In such event, the
Indemnified Party may compromise or settle such Claim, without the consent of
the Indemnifying Party.

SCHEDULE D
TERMS AND CONDITIONS GOVERNING THE CONVERSION RIGHT
(a) EXERCISE The Conversion Right may be exercised by the Fund at any time in
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
-2-
Purchase Price at the conversion rate set out in Section 5.1(a)
before it shall be entitled to convert any of the portion at the
conversion rate set out in Section 5.1(b), and vice versa.
(e) FRACTIONAL SHARES No fractional shares shall be issued upon any whole or
partial exercise of the Conversion Right.
(f) CORPORATE CHANGES If Apollo shall be a party to any reorganization,
merger, amalgamation, dissolution, sale of all or substantially all of its
assets, change or reclassification of its outstanding shares (an "Event"),
whether or not Apollo is the surviving entity, the Conversion Right shall
apply to the securities to which a holder of Apollo Common Shares
immediately prior to the Event would have been entitled by reason of such
Event. If the number of securities outstanding following an Event is
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
the number of securities outstanding following an Event is less than the
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.
(g) SUBDIVISION OR CONSOLIDATION OF SHARES In the event Apollo shall subdivide
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
to such subdivision shall be reduced by the reciprocal of the multiple used
to arrive at the new number of Apollo Common Shares. Conversely, in the
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.
(h) STOCK DIVIDENDS OR DISTRIBUTIONS In the event Apollo: (i) issues Apollo
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,
the conversion rate expressed in United States dollars in Sections
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.

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.

(NOTE B) - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (continued)
(4) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity
of three months or less, when acquired, to be cash equivalents.
(5) INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
The condensed financial statements as of September 30, 1996 and for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995 are
unaudited. In management's opinion, the unaudited financial statements as of
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
aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of not less than $1,000,000. Interest
is payable annually on September 19. The notes may be redeemed at the option
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
principal amount of the notes outstanding is $75,000 and $210,000 at

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,
