                Proposal shall be open for acceptance within thirty (30) days
                from the date it is issued unless withdrawn in the meantime. Any
                acceptance by a Customer of a Proposal shall not create a
                binding contract.

        2.3     A binding contract shall only be created when LB has accepted in
                writing an offer placed by a Customer.

3.      Supply by Customer

        3.1     Prior to or immediately following the date of the Agreement the
                Customer shall supply to LB the Customer Information, together
                with full details of any hazards relating to the Cell Line
                and/or the Customer Materials, their storage and use. On review
                of this Customer Information, the Cell Line and/or the Customer
                Materials shall be provided to LB at LB's request. Property in
                the Cell Line and/or the Customer Materials supplied to LB shall
                remain vested in the Customer.

        3.2     The Customer hereby grants LB [*]. LB hereby undertakes not to
                use the Cell Line, the Customer Materials or the Customer
                Information (or any part thereof) for any other purpose.

        3.3     LB shall:

                3.3.1   at all times use all reasonable endeavours to keep the
                        Cell Line and/or the Customer Materials secure and safe
                        from loss and damage in such manner as LB stores its own
                        material of similar nature;

                3.3.2   not part with possession of the Cell Line and/or the
                        Customer Materials or the Product, save for the purpose
                        of tests at the Testing Laboratories; and

                3.3.3   procure that all Testing Laboratories are subject to
                        obligations of confidence and restrictions to use and
                        transfer substantially in the form of those obligations
                        of confidence imposed on LB under these Standard Terms.

        3.4     The Customer warrants to LB that:

                3.4.1   the Customer is and shall at all times throughout the
                        duration of the Agreement remain entitled to supply the
                        Cell Line, the Customer Materials and Customer
                        Information to LB;

                3.4.2   to the best of the Customer's knowledge and belief the
                        use by LB of the Cell Line, the Customer Materials or
                        and the Customer Information for the Services will not
                        infringe any rights (including, without limitation, any
                        intellectual or industrial property rights) vested in
                        any third party; and

                3.4.3   the Customer will notify LB, in writing, immediately it
                        knows or ought to know that it is no longer entitled to
                        supply the Cell Line, the Customer Materials and/or the
                        Customer Information to LB or that the use by LB of the
                        Cell Line, the Customer Materials or the Customer
                        Information for the Services infringes or is alleged to
                        infringe any rights (including, without limitation, any
                        intellectual or industrial property rights) vested in
                        any third party.

        3.5     Provided that LB gives Customer prompt written notice and full
                particulars of any claim, tenders to Customer, full control of
                any defense or settlement and co-operates fully with Customer,
                the Customer undertakes to indemnify and to maintain LB promptly
                indemnified against any loss, damage, costs and expenses of any
                nature (including court costs and legal fees on a full indemnity
                basis), whether direct or consequential, and whether or not
                foreseeable or in the contemplation of LB or the Customer, that
                LB may suffer arising out of or incidental to any breach of the
                warranties given by the Customer under Clause 3.4 above or any
                claims alleging LB's use of the Cell Line, the Customer
                Materials or the Customer Information infringes any rights
                (including, without limitation, any intellectual or industrial
                property rights) vested in any third party (whether or not the
                Customer knows or ought to have known about the same), however
                it is agreed that LB will retain its own independent legal
                counsel with settlement of any claim requiring LB's prior
                written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

        3.6     The obligations of LB and the Customer under this Clause 3 shall
                survive the termination for whatever reason of the Agreement.

4.      Provision of the Services

        4.1     LB shall diligently carry out the Services as provided in
                Schedule 2 and shall use all reasonable efforts to achieve the
                estimated timescales therefor.

        4.2     Due to the unpredictable nature of the biological processes
                involved in the Services, the timescales set down for the
                performance of the Services (including without limitation the
                dates for production and delivery of Product) and the quantities
                of Product for delivery set out in Schedule 2 are estimated
                only.

        4.3     Provided that LB has complied with Section 4.1 the Customer
                shall not be entitled to cancel any unfulfilled part of the
                Services or to refuse to accept the Services on grounds of late
                performance, late delivery or failure to produce the estimated
                quantities of Product for delivery. LB shall not be liable for
                any loss, damage, costs or expenses of any nature, whether
                direct or consequential, occasioned by:

                4.3.1   any delay in performance or delivery howsoever caused;
                        or

                4.3.2   any failure to produce the estimated quantities of
                        Product for delivery.

        4.4     LB shall comply with the regulatory requirements from time to
                applicable to the Services as set out in Schedule 2 hereto,
                including without limitation all relevant requirements of
                current Good Manufacturing Practices under the policies and
                practices of the US FDA and European Regulatory Authorities and
                shall consider ICH and other relevant regulatory guidance
                documents whether or not set forth with precision in said
                Schedule 2. If the Customer requests LB to comply with any other
                regulatory or similar legislative requirements LB shall use all
                reasonable commercial endeavours to do so provided that:

                4.4.1   the Customer shall be responsible for informing LB in
                        writing of the precise foreign requirements which the
                        Customer is requesting LB to observe;

                4.4.2   such foreign requirements do not conflict with any
                        mandatory requirements under the laws of England;

                                      -13-
<PAGE>   13

                4.4.3   LB shall be under no obligation to ensure that such
                        written information complies with the applicable
                        requirements of any foreign jurisdiction; and

                4.4.4   all costs and expenses incurred by LB in complying with
                        such foreign requirements shall be charged to the
                        Customer in addition to the Price.

        4.5     Delivery of Product shall be ex-works LB's premises (Incoterms
                1990). Risk in and title to Product shall pass on delivery.
                Transportation of Product, whether or not under any arrangements
                made by LB on behalf of the Customer, shall be made at the sole
                risk and expense of the Customer.

        4.6     Unless otherwise agreed, LB shall package and label Product for
                delivery ex-works in accordance with its standard operating
                procedures. It shall be the responsibility of the Customer to
                inform LB in writing in advance of any special packaging and
                labelling requirements for Product. All additional costs and
                expenses of whatever nature incurred by LB in complying with
                such special requirements shall be charged to the Customer in
                addition to the Price.

5.      Transportation of Product and Customer Tests

        5.1     If requested by the Customer, LB will (acting as agent of the
                Customer for such purpose) arrange the transportation of Product
                from LB's premises to the destination indicated by the Customer
                together with insurance cover for Product in transit at its
                invoiced value. All additional costs and expenses of whatever
                nature incurred by LB in arranging such transportation and
                insurance shall be charged to the Customer in addition to the
                Price.

        5.2     Where LB has made arrangements for the transportation of
                Product, the Customer shall diligently examine the Product as
                soon as practicable after receipt. Notice of all claims (time
                being of the essence) arising out of:

                5.2.1   damage to or total or partial loss of Product in transit
                        shall be given in writing to LB and the carrier within
                        three (3) working days of delivery; or

                5.2.2   non-delivery shall be given in writing to LB within ten
                        (10) days after the date of LB's dispatch notice.

        5.3     The Customer shall make damaged Product available for inspection
                and shall comply with the requirements of any insurance policy
                covering the Product notified by LB to the Customer. LB shall
                offer the Customer all reasonable assistance (at the cost and
                expense of the Customer) in pursuing any claims arising out of
                the transportation of Product.

        5.4     Promptly following receipt of Product or any sample thereof, the
                Customer shall carry out the Customer Tests. PROVIDED ALWAYS the
                Specification for such Product is not stated to be in draft
                form, if the Customer Tests show that the Product fails to meet
                Specification, the Customer shall give LB written notice thereof
                within forty-five (45) days from the date of delivery of the
                Product ex-works and shall return such Product to LB's premises
                for further testing. In the absence of such written notice
                Product shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Customer as
                meeting Specification. If LB is satisfied that Product returned
                to LB fails to meet Specification and that such failure is not
                due (in whole or in part) to acts or omissions of the Customer
                or any third party after delivery of such Product ex-works, LB
                shall at Customer's discretion refund that part of the Price

                                      -14-
<PAGE>   14

                that relates to the production of such Product or replace such
                Product at its own cost and expense. In the event Customer
                requires LB to replace such Product, LB shall be entitled to
                have regard to its commercial commitments to third parties in
                the timing of such replacement and will consider Customer's
                requirements in as fair and equal manner as it considers other
                third party customer requirements, Customer acknowledges that
                there may, therefore, be a delay in the timing of the
                replacement of such Product.

                FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, WHERE THE SPECIFICATION IS STATED
                TO BE IN DRAFT FORM LB SHALL BE OBLIGED ONLY TO USE ITS
                REASONABLE ENDEAVOURS TO PRODUCE PRODUCT THAT MEETS
                SPECIFICATION.

        5.5     If there is any dispute concerning whether Product returned to
                LB, fails to meet Specification or whether such failure is due
                (in whole or in part) to acts or omissions of the Customer or
                any third party after delivery of such Product ex-works, such
                dispute shall be referred for decision to an independent expert
                (acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator) to be appointed
                by agreement between LB and the Customer or, in the absence of
                agreement by the President for the time being of the Association
                of the British Pharmaceutical Industry. The costs of such
                independent expert shall be borne equally between LB and the
                Customer. The decision of such independent expert shall be in
                writing and, save for manifest error on the face of the
                decision, shall be binding on both LB and the Customer.

        5.6     The provisions of Clauses 5.4 and 5.5 shall be the sole remedy
                available to the Customer in respect of Product that fails to
                meet Specification.

6.      Price and Terms of Payment

        6.1     The Customer shall pay the Price in accordance with the Terms of
                Payment.

        6.2     Unless otherwise indicated in writing by LB. all prices and
                charges are exclusive of Value Added Tax or of any other
                applicable taxes, levies, imposts, duties and fees of whatever
                nature imposed by or under the authority of any government or
                public authority, which shall be paid by the Customer (other
                than taxes on LB's income). All Invoices are strictly net and
                payment must be made within thirty (30) days of date of invoice.
                Payment shall be made without deduction, deferment, set-off,
                lien or counterclaim of any nature.

        6.3     In default of payment on due date:

                6.3.1   interest shall accrue on any amount overdue at the rate
                        of [*] above the base lending rate from time to time of
                        HSBC Bank plc, interest to accrue on a day to day basis
                        both before and after judgement; and

                6.3.2   LB shall, at its sole discretion, and without prejudice
                        to any other of its accrued rights, be entitled to
                        suspend the provision of the Services or to treat the
                        Agreement as repudiated by notice in writing to the
                        Customer exercised at any time thereafter.

7.      Warranty and Limitation of Liability

        7.1 LB warrants that:

                7.1.1   the Services shall be performed in accordance with

                7.1.2   the Product shall meet Specification on delivery, save
                        where the Specification is stated to be in draft form
                        when LB shall be obliged only to use its reasonable
                        endeavours to produce Product that meets Specification.

        7.2     Clause 7.1 is in lieu of all conditions, warranties and
                statements in respect of the Services and/or the Product whether
                expressed or implied by statute, custom of the trade or
                otherwise (including but without limitation any such condition,
                warranty or statement relating to the description or quality of
                the Product, its fitness for a particular purpose or use under
                any conditions whether or not known to LB) and any such
                condition, warranty or statement is hereby excluded.

                any other liability of LB (including misrepresentation and
                negligence or third party claim brought against Customer
                relating solely to LB know-how) in respect of the Services
                (including without limitation the production and/or supply of
                the Product) shall be limited to the payment by LB of damages
                which shall not exceed [*].

        7.4     Subject to Clause 7.6, LB shall not be liable for the following
                loss or damage howsoever caused (even if foreseeable or in the
                contemplation of LB or the Customer):

                7.4.1   loss of profits, business or revenue whether suffered

                        suffered by the Customer or any other person; and

                7.4.3   any loss arising from any claim made against the

                particulars of any claim, tenders to Customer, full control of
                any defense or settlement, and co-operate fully with Customer,
                the Customer shall indemnify and maintain LB promptly
                indemnified against all claims, actions, costs, expenses of any
                nature (including court costs and legal fees on a full indemnity
                basis) or other liabilities whatsoever in respect of the
                following, it been agreed, however that LB will retain its own

                LB's prior written consent which will not be unreasonably
                withheld:

                7.5.1   any liability under the Consumer Protection Act 1987,
                        unless such liability is caused by the negligent act or

9.      Termination

        9.1     If it becomes apparent to either LB or the Customer at any stage
                in the provision of the Services that it will not be possible to
                complete the Services for scientific or technical reasons, a
                sixty (60) day period shall be allowed for discussion to resolve
                such problems. If such problems are not resolved within such
                period, LB and the Customer shall each have the right to
                terminate the Agreement forthwith by notice in writing. In the
                event of such termination, the Customer shall pay to LB a
                termination sum calculated by reference to all the Services
                performed by LB prior to such termination (including a pro rata
                proportion of the Price for any stage of the Services which is
                in process at the date of termination) and all expenses
                reasonably incurred by LB in giving effect to such termination,
                including the costs of terminating any commitments entered into
                under the Agreement, such termination sum not to exceed the
                balance of the Price for the remaining services not yet
                commenced, LB will engage in good faith efforts to offer to
                other third party customers those development resources or
                manufacturing slots which become available due to termination by
                Customer of this Agreement, and Customer will not be required to
                pay for that portion of the Services and related expenses that
                LB is able to charge to such other customers.

        9.2     Customer shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement at any
                time for any reason by sixty (60) days' notice to LB in writing.
                In the event of Customer serving notice to terminate this
                Agreement which notice is expressed to be given pursuant to this
                Clause 9.2, Customer shall:

                9.2.1   pay LB a termination sum calculated in accordance with
                        the principles of Clause 9.1 above, and

                9.2.2   In the event notice to terminate this Agreement pursuant
                        to this Clause 9.2 is issued to LB within six (6) months
                        of LB's then estimated start date for any stage of the
                        Services which includes cGMP fermentation activities,
                        Customer shall pay LB a sum (to the extent not already
                        payable as noted above in accordance with the principles
                        of Clause 9.1) equal to not less than ten percent (10%)
                        nor more than eighty-five percent (85%) of the full
                        Price of that stage, or those stages, in question, as
                        provided in Clause 9.2.3

                                      -18-
<PAGE>   18

                        below. Such payment shall fall due to LB on or before
                        the date of termination of the Services. For the
                        avoidance of doubt activities relating to cGMP
                        fermentation shall be deemed to commence with the date
                        of removal of the vial of cells for the performance of
                        the fermentation from frozen storage.

                        this Agreement in the circumstances described in Clause
                        9.2.2, LB shall use reasonable endeavours to substitute
                        a requirement for the manufacturing slot which becomes
                        available due to Customer of the Agreement. If LB finds
                        such an alternative third party selling the
                        manufacturing slot, which third party requirement is not
                        for business (i.e. LB shall not be required to
                        reschedule parties), the fee payable by Customer under
                        Clause 10% of the price for the manufacturing slot
                        originally amount, if any, by which the fees to be paid
                        for such customer is less than 85% of the price under
                        this originally reserved for Customer. If LB is
                        substitute a third party requirement for the such
                        manner, Customer shall be liable to of the price under
                        this Agreement third party termination by and is
                        successful in previously contracted existing commitments
                        to third parties), the fee payable by Customer under
                        Clause 9.2.2 shall equal the greater of (a) reserved for
                        Customer and (b) the manufacturing slot by such other
                        Agreement for the manufacturing slot unable, by using
                        reasonable endeavours, to manufacturing slot reserved
                        for Customer in pay LB under Clause 9.2.2 a sum equal to
                        85% for the manufacturing slot.

        9.3     LB and the Customer may each terminate the Agreement forthwith
                by notice in writing to the other upon the occurrence of any of
                the following events:

                9.3.1   if the other commits a breach of the Agreement which (in
                        the case of a breach capable of remedy) is not remedied
                        within thirty (30) days of the receipt by the other of
                        notice identifying the breach and requiring its remedy;
                        or

                9.3.2   if the other ceases for any reason to carry on business

                        or has a receiver or manager appointed in respect of all

                        liquidation (whether compulsorily or voluntarily) or

                        Customer and shall dispose of or return to the Customer
                        the Customer Materials (and where supplied by Customer
                        the Cell Line) and any materials therefrom, as directed
                        by the Customer;

                9.4.2   the Customer shall promptly return to LB all LB Know-How

                        the LB Know-How in any way whatsoever without
                        restriction; and

        9.5     Termination of the Agreement for whatever reason shall not
                affect the accrued rights of either LB or the Customer arising
                under or out of this Agreement and all provisions which are
                expressed to survive the Agreement shall remain in full force
                and effect.

10.     Force Majeure

                obligations under the Agreement by Force Majeure and shall give
                written notice thereof to the Customer specifying the matters

        3.2     The Customer hereby grants LB [*]. LB hereby undertakes not to
                use the Cell Line, the Customer Materials or the Customer
                Information (or any part thereof) for any other purpose.

        3.3     LB shall:

                3.3.1   at all times use all reasonable endeavours to keep the
                        Cell Line and/or the Customer Materials secure and safe
                        from loss and damage in such manner as LB stores its own
                        material of similar nature;

                3.3.2   not part with possession of the Cell Line and/or the
                        Customer Materials or the Product, save for the purpose
                        of tests at the Testing Laboratories; and

                3.3.3   procure that all Testing Laboratories are subject to
                        obligations of confidence and restrictions to use and
                        transfer substantially in the form of those obligations
                        of confidence imposed on LB under these Standard Terms.

        3.4     The Customer warrants to LB that:

                3.4.1   the Customer is and shall at all times throughout the
                        duration of the Agreement remain entitled to supply the
                        Cell Line, the Customer Materials and Customer
                        Information to LB;

                3.4.2   to the best of the Customer's knowledge and belief the
                        use by LB of the Cell Line, the Customer Materials or
                        and the Customer Information for the Services will not
                        infringe any rights (including, without limitation, any
                        intellectual or industrial property rights) vested in
                        any third party; and

                3.4.3   the Customer will notify LB, in writing, immediately it
                        knows or ought to know that it is no longer entitled to
                        supply the Cell Line, the Customer Materials and/or the
                        Customer Information to LB or that the use by LB of the
                        Cell Line, the Customer Materials or the Customer
                        Information for the Services infringes or is alleged to
                        infringe any rights (including, without limitation, any
                        intellectual or industrial property rights) vested in
                        any third party.

        3.5     Provided that LB gives Customer prompt written notice and full
                particulars of any claim, tenders to Customer, full control of
                any defense or settlement and co-operates fully with Customer,
                the Customer undertakes to indemnify and to maintain LB promptly
                indemnified against any loss, damage, costs and expenses of any
                nature (including court costs and legal fees on a full indemnity
                basis), whether direct or consequential, and whether or not
                foreseeable or in the contemplation of LB or the Customer, that
                LB may suffer arising out of or incidental to any breach of the
                warranties given by the Customer under Clause 3.4 above or any
                claims alleging LB's use of the Cell Line, the Customer
                Materials or the Customer Information infringes any rights
                (including, without limitation, any intellectual or industrial
                property rights) vested in any third party (whether or not the
                Customer knows or ought to have known about the same), however
                it is agreed that LB will retain its own independent legal
                counsel with settlement of any claim requiring LB's prior
                written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

        3.6     The obligations of LB and the Customer under this Clause 3 shall
                survive the termination for whatever reason of the Agreement.

4.      Provision of the Services

        4.1     LB shall diligently carry out the Services as provided in
                Schedule 2 and shall use all reasonable efforts to achieve the
                estimated timescales therefor.

        4.2     Due to the unpredictable nature of the biological processes
                involved in the Services, the timescales set down for the
                performance of the Services (including without limitation the
                dates for production and delivery of Product) and the quantities
                of Product for delivery set out in Schedule 2 are estimated
                only.

        4.3     Provided that LB has complied with Section 4.1 the Customer
                shall not be entitled to cancel any unfulfilled part of the
                Services or to refuse to accept the Services on grounds of late
                performance, late delivery or failure to produce the estimated
                quantities of Product for delivery. LB shall not be liable for
                any loss, damage, costs or expenses of any nature, whether
                direct or consequential, occasioned by:

                4.3.1   any delay in performance or delivery howsoever caused;
                        or

                4.3.2   any failure to produce the estimated quantities of
                        Product for delivery.

        4.4     LB shall comply with the regulatory requirements from time to
                applicable to the Services as set out in Schedule 2 hereto,
                including without limitation all relevant requirements of
                current Good Manufacturing Practices under the policies and
                practices of the US FDA and European Regulatory Authorities and
                shall consider ICH and other relevant regulatory guidance
                documents whether or not set forth with precision in said
                Schedule 2. If the Customer requests LB to comply with any other
                regulatory or similar legislative requirements LB shall use all
                reasonable commercial endeavours to do so provided that:

                4.4.1   the Customer shall be responsible for informing LB in
                        writing of the precise foreign requirements which the
                        Customer is requesting LB to observe;

                4.4.2   such foreign requirements do not conflict with any
                        mandatory requirements under the laws of England;

                                      -13-
<PAGE>   13

                4.4.3   LB shall be under no obligation to ensure that such
                        written information complies with the applicable
                        requirements of any foreign jurisdiction; and

                4.4.4   all costs and expenses incurred by LB in complying with
                        such foreign requirements shall be charged to the
                        Customer in addition to the Price.

        4.5     Delivery of Product shall be ex-works LB's premises (Incoterms
                1990). Risk in and title to Product shall pass on delivery.
                Transportation of Product, whether or not under any arrangements
                made by LB on behalf of the Customer, shall be made at the sole
                risk and expense of the Customer.

        4.6     Unless otherwise agreed, LB shall package and label Product for
                delivery ex-works in accordance with its standard operating
                procedures. It shall be the responsibility of the Customer to
                inform LB in writing in advance of any special packaging and
                labelling requirements for Product. All additional costs and
                expenses of whatever nature incurred by LB in complying with
                such special requirements shall be charged to the Customer in
                addition to the Price.

5.      Transportation of Product and Customer Tests

        5.1     If requested by the Customer, LB will (acting as agent of the
                Customer for such purpose) arrange the transportation of Product
                from LB's premises to the destination indicated by the Customer
                together with insurance cover for Product in transit at its
                invoiced value. All additional costs and expenses of whatever
                nature incurred by LB in arranging such transportation and
                insurance shall be charged to the Customer in addition to the
                Price.

        5.2     Where LB has made arrangements for the transportation of
                Product, the Customer shall diligently examine the Product as
                soon as practicable after receipt. Notice of all claims (time
                being of the essence) arising out of:

                5.2.1   damage to or total or partial loss of Product in transit
                        shall be given in writing to LB and the carrier within
                        three (3) working days of delivery; or

                5.2.2   non-delivery shall be given in writing to LB within ten
                        (10) days after the date of LB's dispatch notice.

        5.3     The Customer shall make damaged Product available for inspection
                and shall comply with the requirements of any insurance policy
                covering the Product notified by LB to the Customer. LB shall
                offer the Customer all reasonable assistance (at the cost and
                expense of the Customer) in pursuing any claims arising out of
                the transportation of Product.

        5.4     Promptly following receipt of Product or any sample thereof, the
                Customer shall carry out the Customer Tests. PROVIDED ALWAYS the
                Specification for such Product is not stated to be in draft
                form, if the Customer Tests show that the Product fails to meet
                Specification, the Customer shall give LB written notice thereof
                within forty-five (45) days from the date of delivery of the
                Product ex-works and shall return such Product to LB's premises
                for further testing. In the absence of such written notice
                Product shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Customer as
                meeting Specification. If LB is satisfied that Product returned
                to LB fails to meet Specification and that such failure is not
                due (in whole or in part) to acts or omissions of the Customer
                or any third party after delivery of such Product ex-works, LB
                shall at Customer's discretion refund that part of the Price

                                      -14-
<PAGE>   14

                that relates to the production of such Product or replace such
                Product at its own cost and expense. In the event Customer
                requires LB to replace such Product, LB shall be entitled to
                have regard to its commercial commitments to third parties in
                the timing of such replacement and will consider Customer's
                requirements in as fair and equal manner as it considers other
                third party customer requirements, Customer acknowledges that
                there may, therefore, be a delay in the timing of the
                replacement of such Product.

                FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, WHERE THE SPECIFICATION IS STATED
                TO BE IN DRAFT FORM LB SHALL BE OBLIGED ONLY TO USE ITS
                REASONABLE ENDEAVOURS TO PRODUCE PRODUCT THAT MEETS
                SPECIFICATION.

        5.5     If there is any dispute concerning whether Product returned to
                LB, fails to meet Specification or whether such failure is due
                (in whole or in part) to acts or omissions of the Customer or
                any third party after delivery of such Product ex-works, such
                dispute shall be referred for decision to an independent expert
                (acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator) to be appointed
                by agreement between LB and the Customer or, in the absence of
                agreement by the President for the time being of the Association
                of the British Pharmaceutical Industry. The costs of such
                independent expert shall be borne equally between LB and the
                Customer. The decision of such independent expert shall be in
                writing and, save for manifest error on the face of the
                decision, shall be binding on both LB and the Customer.

        5.6     The provisions of Clauses 5.4 and 5.5 shall be the sole remedy
                available to the Customer in respect of Product that fails to
                meet Specification.

6.      Price and Terms of Payment

        6.1     The Customer shall pay the Price in accordance with the Terms of
                Payment.

        6.2     Unless otherwise indicated in writing by LB. all prices and
                charges are exclusive of Value Added Tax or of any other
                applicable taxes, levies, imposts, duties and fees of whatever
                nature imposed by or under the authority of any government or
                public authority, which shall be paid by the Customer (other
                than taxes on LB's income). All Invoices are strictly net and
                payment must be made within thirty (30) days of date of invoice.
                Payment shall be made without deduction, deferment, set-off,
                lien or counterclaim of any nature.

        6.3     In default of payment on due date:

                6.3.1   interest shall accrue on any amount overdue at the rate
                        of [*] above the base lending rate from time to time of
                        HSBC Bank plc, interest to accrue on a day to day basis
                        both before and after judgement; and

                6.3.2   LB shall, at its sole discretion, and without prejudice
                        to any other of its accrued rights, be entitled to
                        suspend the provision of the Services or to treat the
                        Agreement as repudiated by notice in writing to the
                        Customer exercised at any time thereafter.

7.      Warranty and Limitation of Liability

        7.1 LB warrants that:

                7.1.1   the Services shall be performed in accordance with

                7.1.2   the Product shall meet Specification on delivery, save
                        where the Specification is stated to be in draft form
                        when LB shall be obliged only to use its reasonable
                        endeavours to produce Product that meets Specification.

        7.2     Clause 7.1 is in lieu of all conditions, warranties and
                statements in respect of the Services and/or the Product whether
                expressed or implied by statute, custom of the trade or
                otherwise (including but without limitation any such condition,
                warranty or statement relating to the description or quality of
                the Product, its fitness for a particular purpose or use under
                any conditions whether or not known to LB) and any such

                negligence or third party claim brought against Customer
                relating solely to LB know-how) in respect of the Services
                (including without limitation the production and/or supply of
                the Product) shall be limited to the payment by LB of damages
                which shall not exceed [*].

        7.4     Subject to Clause 7.6, LB shall not be liable for the following
                loss or damage howsoever caused (even if foreseeable or in the
                contemplation of LB or the Customer):

                any defense or settlement, and co-operate fully with Customer,

                indemnified against all claims, actions, costs, expenses of any
                nature (including court costs and legal fees on a full indemnity
                basis) or other liabilities whatsoever in respect of the
                following, it been agreed, however that LB will retain its own

                withheld:

                7.5.1   any liability under the Consumer Protection Act 1987,
                        unless such liability is caused by the negligent act or

                implied undertakings of LB as to title.

                survive the termination for whatever reason of the Agreement.

9.      Termination

        9.1     If it becomes apparent to either LB or the Customer at any stage
                in the provision of the Services that it will not be possible to
                complete the Services for scientific or technical reasons, a
                sixty (60) day period shall be allowed for discussion to resolve
                such problems. If such problems are not resolved within such
                period, LB and the Customer shall each have the right to
                terminate the Agreement forthwith by notice in writing. In the
                event of such termination, the Customer shall pay to LB a
                termination sum calculated by reference to all the Services
                performed by LB prior to such termination (including a pro rata
                proportion of the Price for any stage of the Services which is
                in process at the date of termination) and all expenses
                reasonably incurred by LB in giving effect to such termination,
                including the costs of terminating any commitments entered into
                under the Agreement, such termination sum not to exceed the
                balance of the Price for the remaining services not yet
                commenced, LB will engage in good faith efforts to offer to
                other third party customers those development resources or
                manufacturing slots which become available due to termination by
                Customer of this Agreement, and Customer will not be required to
                pay for that portion of the Services and related expenses that
                LB is able to charge to such other customers.

        9.2     Customer shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement at any
                time for any reason by sixty (60) days' notice to LB in writing.
                In the event of Customer serving notice to terminate this
                Agreement which notice is expressed to be given pursuant to this
                Clause 9.2, Customer shall:

                9.2.1   pay LB a termination sum calculated in accordance with
                        the principles of Clause 9.1 above, and

                9.2.2   In the event notice to terminate this Agreement pursuant
                        to this Clause 9.2 is issued to LB within six (6) months

                        Services which includes cGMP fermentation activities,
                        Customer shall pay LB a sum (to the extent not already
                        payable as noted above in accordance with the principles
                        of Clause 9.1) equal to not less than ten percent (10%)
                        nor more than eighty-five percent (85%) of the full
                        Price of that stage, or those stages, in question, as
                        provided in Clause 9.2.3

                                      -18-

                        below. Such payment shall fall due to LB on or before
                        the date of termination of the Services. For the
                        avoidance of doubt activities relating to cGMP
                        fermentation shall be deemed to commence with the date
                        of removal of the vial of cells for the performance of

                        this Agreement in the circumstances described in Clause
                        9.2.2, LB shall use reasonable endeavours to substitute
                        a requirement for the manufacturing slot which becomes
                        available due to Customer of the Agreement. If LB finds
                        such an alternative third party selling the
                        manufacturing slot, which third party requirement is not
                        for business (i.e. LB shall not be required to
                        reschedule parties), the fee payable by Customer under
                        Clause 10% of the price for the manufacturing slot
                        originally amount, if any, by which the fees to be paid
                        for such customer is less than 85% of the price under
                        this originally reserved for Customer. If LB is
                        substitute a third party requirement for the such
                        manner, Customer shall be liable to of the price under
                        this Agreement third party termination by and is
                        successful in previously contracted existing commitments
                        to third parties), the fee payable by Customer under
                        Clause 9.2.2 shall equal the greater of (a) reserved for
                        Customer and (b) the manufacturing slot by such other
                        Agreement for the manufacturing slot unable, by using
                        reasonable endeavours, to manufacturing slot reserved
                        for Customer in pay LB under Clause 9.2.2 a sum equal to
                        85% for the manufacturing slot.

        9.3     LB and the Customer may each terminate the Agreement forthwith
                by notice in writing to the other upon the occurrence of any of
                the following events:

                9.3.1   if the other commits a breach of the Agreement which (in
                        the case of a breach capable of remedy) is not remedied
                        within thirty (30) days of the receipt by the other of
                        notice identifying the breach and requiring its remedy;
                        or

                        by the Customer;

                9.4.2   the Customer shall promptly return to LB all LB Know-How

        9.5     Termination of the Agreement for whatever reason shall not
                affect the accrued rights of either LB or the Customer arising
                under or out of this Agreement and all provisions which are
                expressed to survive the Agreement shall remain in full force
