            the Consultant and the Company.

     1.2    During the Term (as defined in Section 4.1 below) of this Agreement,
            it is hereby acknowledged and agreed by the Company and the

            CD8 and the regulatory mechanisms associated with these forms of
            immunotolerance ("the Field"). This Field may be changed or expanded
            through a written amendment to this Agreement and subject to the
            consent of the Consultant's employer, the University of Oxford.

     1.3    During the Term of this Agreement, the Consultant will devote the
            time equivalent of fifteen (15) working days per year (which
            includes time spent in attendance at Scientific Advisory Board
            meetings and up to ten (10) visits to the Company) in the
            performance of the Consulting Services.

     1.4    The Consultant shall provide the Consulting Services hereunder at
            such times and locations as are mutually agreed upon by the
            Consultant and the Company; provided, however, that the Consultant
            shall not provide such Consulting Services at the University of
            Oxford, or at the offices or facilities of any future employer of
            the Consultant, or of any other person to whom the Consultant
            provides consulting services, unless otherwise specified in any
            development agreement, license agreement or other agreement between
            the Company, on one hand, and the University of Oxford or such other
            employer or person, on the other hand, or unless the parties agree
            otherwise.

     1.5    It is understood and agreed that, during the Term and subject to the
            provisions of Section 10, the Consultant may not be involved in any
            capacity in other businesses, endeavours and undertakings, except
            for his consulting relationships

            with Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Nextran, Inc. and any venture
            capitalist companies or firms and except for his employment role at
            the University of Oxford, and provided that the Consultant may be
            involved with not-for-profit organisations and professional

            times and locations for the performance by the Consultant of his
            consulting services to the Company, due consideration shall be given
            to the Consultant's commitments to the University of Oxford or any
            future employer of the Consultant or to any of the other permitted
            activities referred to in Section 1.5. The Company shall use its
            best efforts to schedule such times and locations so as to avoid any
            conflict with the Consultant's obligations to the University of
            Oxford or any future employer of the Consultant or any of such other
            business endeavours or undertakings and in relation to the
            Consultant's obligations to the University of Oxford, those

            any governmental taxing authority made in connection with the
            revenue derived by the Consultant under this Agreement.

            (payment of which is subject to the provisions of Section 2.1) and

            that the Consultant may now or hereafter have for infringement of
            any Proprietary Rights assigned hereunder to the Company. The
            obligations of the Consultant under this Section are without
            prejudice, and are in addition to, any other obligations or duties
            of the Consultant, imposed by the applicable law of this Contract,
            to assign to the Company all Assigned Inventions and all Proprietary
            Rights.

     7.3    Notwithstanding anything expressed or implied in Section 7.1 or 7.2
            to the contrary, it is hereby understood and agreed that the
            Consultant is not assigning, and has not agreed to assign, to the
            Company pursuant to this Section 7, and that the term "Assigned
            Inventions" shall not include, any right, title or interest in and
            to any inventions, improvements, developments, ideas, innovations,
            discoveries, designs, creations, processes, methods, techniques,
            technologies, prototypes, models, plans, formulations,
            specifications, shop-practices, formulas, algorithms, data,
            drawings, reports, writings, laboratory notebooks, source and object
            codes, software programs, other works of authorship, product names
            or marks, marketing materials or programs and know-how (including
            all records pertaining to any of the foregoing). Whether or not
            reduced to writing and whether or not patentable or registrable
            under patent, copyright, trademark or similar statues, that are
            made, conceived, invented, discovered, originated, authored,
            created, learned or reduced to practice by the Consultant, either
            alone or together with others, in the course of his research
            activities at the University of Oxford or any other third party or
            through the use of funds, personnel, facilities, materials or other
            resources of the University of Oxford or any other third party. The
            Company hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Consultant
            may have a preexisting obligation to assign to the University of
            Oxford all of his rights to any and all of the items referred to
            above in this Section 7.3.

     7.4    At the request and expense of the Company, the Consultant will
            assist the Company in every proper way (including, without
            limitation, by executing patent applications and assignments of
            patents or copyrights) to obtain and enforce in any country in the
            world Proprietary Rights relating to any or all Assigned Inventions.
            The Consultant's obligation under this Section 7.4 shall continue
            beyond the Term. If and to the extent that, at any time after the
            Term, the Company requests assistance from the Consultant with
            respect to obtaining and enforcing in any country in the world any
            Proprietary Rights relating to Assigned Inventions, the Company
            shall, in addition to bearing expenses, compensate the Consultant at
            a reasonable rate for the time actually spent by the Consultant on
            such assistance.

     7.5    By this Agreement, the Consultant hereby irrevocably constitutes and
            appoints the Company as his attorney-in-fact for the purpose of
            executing, in the Consultant's name and on his behalf, (i) such
            instruments or other documents as may be necessary to evidence,
            confirm or perfect any assignment pursuant to the provisions of this
            Section 7 or (ii) such applications, certificates, instruments or
            documents as may be necessary to obtain or enforce any Proprietary
            Rights in any country of the world. This power of attorney is
            coupled with an interest on the part of the Company and is
            irrevocable provided that the Company shall give the Consultant
            prior written notice of any such execution in his name or on his
            behalf.

     7.6    Without the prior written consent of the Company, the Consultant
            shall not, at any time, file any patent or copyright application
            with respect to, or claiming, any Assigned Inventions.

8.   AGREEMENT NOT TO COMPETE

     8.1    In view of the nature of the business of the Company and the need of
            the Company to maintain its competitive advantage in the industry,
            the Consultant agrees that, during the Restricted Period (as defined
            in Section 8.2), the Consultant shall not, directly or indirectly,
            within the United States of America or its Territories or
            Possessions or within any other country in the world, engage in, own
            an interest in (except as a holder of no more than one per cent (1%)
            of the shares of any publicly traded corporation), be employed by,
            consult for, act as an advisor to, or otherwise in any way
            participate in or become associated with, any Competitive Business
            (as defined in Section 8.2) or any corporation, partnership, limited
            liability company, business, enterprise, venture or other person or
            entity that is engaged or participates in any Competitive Business
            (each, a "competitive Business Entity"), unless, in each case, the
            Consultant shall have given notice to the Board of Directors of the
            Company of his intention to be employed by, consult for, act as an
            advisor to, or otherwise in any way participate in or become
            associated with, any Competitive Business or any Competitive
            Business Entity and the Board of Directors of the Company shall have
            approved the Consultant's relationship with or engagement in such
            Competitive Business or Competitive Business Entity; provided,
            however, that nothing in this Section 8 shall be construed to limit
            the ability of the Consultant to be employed by, to conduct research
            for, or to engage in research-related activities for, the University
            of Oxford or any sponsor of any research carried out by the
            University of Oxford. During the Restricted Period, the Consultant
            also shall not solicit, or arrange to have any other person or
            entity solicit, any person or entity engaged by the Company as an
            employee, customer or supplier of, or consultant or advisor to, the
            Company to terminate such party's relationship with the Company.

     8.2    For purposes of this Section 8, the following terms shall have the
            meanings provided therefore below:

            "Competitive Business" shall mean any business that involves the
            research, development or commercialisation of any products in the
            Field.

<Page>

            "Restricted Period" shall mean the period commencing on the
            Effective Date and ending on the second anniversary of the effective
            date of the termination of the Consulting Services.

     8.3    The time periods provided for in this Section 8 shall be extended
            for a period of time equal to any period of time in which the
            Consultant shall be in violation of any provision of this Section 8
            and any period of time required for litigation to enforce the
            provisions of this Section 8. If at any time the provisions of this
            Section 8 shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, by
            reason of being vague or unreasonable as to area, duration or scope
            of activity, this Section 8 shall be considered divisible and scope
            of activity shall be as determined to be reasonable by the court of
            other body having jurisdiction over the matter; and the Consultant
            agrees that this Section 8, as so amended, shall be valid and
            binding as though any invalid or unenforceable provision had not
            been included herein.

9.   NO USE OF NAME, ETC.

     9.1    Without the prior written consent of the Company, the Consultant
            shall not, at any time, use, for himself or on behalf of any other
            person, any name that is identical or similar to or likely to be
            confused with the name of the Company or any product or service
            produced or provided by the Company. Without the prior written
            consent of the Company, the Consultant shall not, at any time after
            the termination of the Consultant's Consulting Services to the
            Company, directly or indirectly represent himself, whether on his
            behalf or on behalf of any other person, as then being in any way
            connected or associated with the Company.

     9.2    Without the prior written consent of the University of Oxford, the
            Company shall not, at any time, use, for itself or on behalf of any
            other person, any name or logo or mark that is identical or similar
            to or likely to be confused with the name of the University of
            Oxford, whether or not such use is in conjunction with the name of
            the Consultant. The provisions of this Section 9.2 are intended to
            confer a right on the University of Oxford pursuant to the Contacts
            (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 and may not be amended without
            the prior written consent of the University of Oxford.

10.  NO CONFLICTING OBLIGATION

     The Consultant represents that he is free to enter into this Agreement and
     that his performance of all of the terms of this Agreement and of all of
     his duties as a consultant to the Company do not and will not breach (a)
     any agreement to keep information acquired by the Consultant in confidence
     or in trust, (b) any agreement to assign to any third party inventions made
     by the Consultant or (c) any agreement not to compete against the business
     of any third party. The Consultant further represents that he has not made
     and will not make any agreements in conflict with this Agreement. The
     Consultant hereby further represents to the Company that he has provided to
     the Company true, correct and complete copies of (i) all relevant sections
     of written agreements between the Consultant and the University of Oxford
     and (ii) any written documents known to the Consultant that set forth the
     rights and responsibilities of, or the restrictions imposed upon, faculty
     members of the University of Oxford with respect to the involvement by such
     faculty members in consulting activities outside of the University of
     Oxford.

11.  LIABILITY

     The liability of either party for any breach of this Agreement, or arising
     in any other way out of the subject matter of this Agreement, will not
     extend to loss of business or profit or any incidental or consequential
     damages or losses. In any event, the Company accepts and agrees that the
     Consultant's maximum liability under or otherwise in connection with this
     Agreement or its subject matter shall not exceed the amount of the
     compensation which he has received under section 2.

12.  MISCELLANEOUS

     12.1   ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement represents the entire Agreement of
            the parties with respect to the arrangements contemplated hereby. No
            prior agreement, whether written or oral, shall be construed to
            change, amend, alter, repeal or invalidate this Agreement. This
            Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument executed in
            one or more counterparts by the parties.

     12.2   WAIVER. No consent to or waiver of any breach or default in the
            performance of any obligations hereunder shall be deemed or
            construed to be a consent to or waiver of any other breach or
            default in the performance of any of the same or any other
            obligations hereunder. Failure on the part of either party to
            complain of any act or failure to act of the other party or to
            declare the other party in default, irrespective of the duration of
            such failure, shall not constitute a waiver of rights hereunder and
            no waiver hereunder shall be effective unless it is in writing,
            executed by the party waiving the breach or default hereunder.

     12.3   ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
            benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
            permitted assigns. This Agreement may be assigned by the Company to
            any affiliate of the Company and to a successor of its business to
            which this Agreement relates (whether by purchase of otherwise).
            "Affiliate of the Company" means any person which directly or
            indirectly, controls or is controlled by or is under common control
            with the Company and, for the purposes of this definition, "control"
            (including the terms "controlled by" and "under common control
            with") shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the
            power to direct or cause the direction of the management and
            policies of another whether through the ownership or voting
            securities or holding of office in another, by contract or
            otherwise. The Consultant may not assign or transfer any or all of
            his rights or obligations under this Agreement.

     12.4   Except as stated in clauses 1.6, 6.1, 7.1, and 9.2 (which are
            intended to be enforceable by the University of Oxford and which may
            not be amended or affected by any other amendment or any term to
            this Agreement without the prior written consent of the University
            of Oxford), the parties to this Agreement do not intend that by
            virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 any of
            the terms of this Agreement should be enforceable by a person who is
            not a party to it.

     12.5   NOTICES. Any notices required or permitted hereunder shall be given
            to the recipient in person or shall be delivered to such recipient
            at the address which

            address or, if sent by certificate or registered mail, three days
            after the date of mailing.

     12.6   GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
            in accordance with the laws of England and the English Courts shall
            have exclusive jurisdiction to hear any matters arising at, or in
            connection with this Agreement. Section headings of this Agreement
            are for reference only and shall not affect its interpretation. In
            the event that any provision of this Agreement should be held
            unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such court is
            hereby authorised to amend such provision so as to be enforceable to
            the fullest extent permitted by law, and all remaining provisions
            shall continue in full force without being impaired or invalidated
            in any way.

     12.7   COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of
            which together shall for all purposes constitute one agreement
            binding on each of the parties hereto notwithstanding that each such
            party shall not have signed the same counterpart.

     12.8   ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. THE CONSULTANT UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS AGREEMENT
            AFFECTS HIS RIGHTS TO ASSIGNED INVENTIONS, AND RESTRICTS CONSULTANTS
            RIGHTS TO DISCLOSE OR USE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OR THIRD PARTY
            CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OR TO COMPETE WITH THE COMPANY DURING THE
            RESTRICTED PERIOD.
