Dear Bruce:

     Adolor Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), is pleased to
offer you a position as the President, Chief Executive Officer of the Company
and member of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), reporting solely
and directly to the Board, with your full time employment commencing on May 6,
2002 (your "Start Date"). Between the date hereof and your Start Date, you will
be employed by the Company on a part-time basis. This offer and your employment
with the Company are subject to the terms and conditions of this offer letter
(the "Offer Letter").

Positions and Responsibilities
------------------------------

     In respect of the positions set forth above, commencing on your Start Date,
you will have the duties, responsibilities and authority normally associated
with the offices and positions of a member of the board of directors, president
and chief executive officer of a corporation, including, without limitation,
complete operational and management authority with respect to, and complete
responsibility for, the overall operations and day-to-day business and affairs
of the Company. All other employees and officers of the Company will report
solely and directly to you or your designees. You will also establish and be
responsible for the agenda for all meetings of the Board.

Duties
------

     During your employment as an at-will employee of the Company, you will
devote substantially all of your business time to the business and affairs of
the Company and you will use your reasonable best efforts to perform faithfully
and efficiently the duties and responsibilities contemplated by the Offer
Letter, provided, however, that you will be allowed, to the extent such
activities do not substantially interfere with the performance of your duties
and responsibilities hereunder, to (a) manage your personal, financial, and
legal affairs, and (b) serve on civic or charitable boards or committees and
other boards or committees with the prior approval of the Board.

Base Salary and Benefits
------------------------

     If you decide to join the Company, commencing on your Start Date, you will
receive an annual base salary of $350,000 (the "Base Salary"), less applicable
and required withholding, which will be paid biweekly in accordance with the
Company's normal payroll procedures. The

                                     <PAGE>

Board will review your Base Salary annually each January thereafter for increase
(but not decrease). To the extent your Base Salary is increased under this
paragraph, such increased Base Salary will be your Base Salary amount for all
purposes hereunder. In addition, you will be entitled to participate in all
benefit programs maintained by the Company (including annual vacation of at
least four weeks and medical, dental, life insurance and long-term disability
plans) that may be provided to the Company's senior executives from time to
time. During the period between the date hereof and your Start Date, your salary
will be $10,000, payable within ten days after your Start Date.

Bonus
-----

     For calendar year 2002 on a prorated basis and for all succeeding calendar
years thereafter during which you are employed by the Company, you will be
entitled to a maximum annual cash bonus equal to 50% of your then current Base
Salary for each such calendar year, based upon the achievement of pre-determined
and objective performance goals, mutually agreeable to you and the Board. Such
annual bonus will be payable as soon as practicable after the end of each such
calendar year, but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year
immediately succeeding such calendar year.

Options
-------

     If you decide to join the Company, the Board will grant to you on the date
that you accept the offer set forth in the Offer Letter options to purchase
740,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price based on the
closing price on the date that you accept the offer set forth in the Offer
Letter. One hundred thirty-five thousand of such options will vest on the first
anniversary of your Start Date and 405,000 of such options will vest monthly
over the succeeding three years at the rate of 1/36 per month beginning on the
first month following the anniversary of your Start Date. Two hundred thousand
of such options will vest on the sixth anniversary of your Start Date if you are
still employed by the Company, provided that the acceleration of the vesting of
100,000 of such options shall occur on the date that the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration accepts for filing the Company's New Drug Application for
alvimopan for the treatment of post-operative ileus and the acceleration of the
vesting of the remaining 100,000 options shall occur on the date immediately
following product launch of the Company's first product and when aggregate
product sales for any previous four quarters exceeds the sum of $50,000,000. To
the extent permitted, the options granted hereunder will be issued under the
Company's Amended and Restated 1994 Equity Compensation Plan (the "Plan").
Otherwise, the options will be issued pursuant to a non-qualified stock option
agreement on substantially the same terms as the Plan between you and the
Company. The shares of the Company's Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
options granted to you under this paragraph will be registered by the Company
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for resale by you.

Stock Grant
-----------

     If you decide to join the Company, the Board will grant to you on your
Start Date, a stock grant of 5,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The
Company will make a cash payment to you in an amount sufficient to reimburse you
for all incremental federal, state and local income and employment taxes
incurred by you in connection with the receipt of the grant,

together with an additional amount to make you whole for all such taxes incurred
by you in connection with the receipt of the payment under this sentence
(together the "Tax Make-Whole Payment"). The Company's obligation under the
preceding sentence shall be satisfied, to the extent necessary, through the
Company's deposit of withholding taxes otherwise payable by you in connection
with the grant and the Tax Make-Whole Payment.

to receive from the Company (a) in 24 monthly installments a payment in gross

     In the event of any termination of your employment, you will be under no
obligation to seek other employment and there will be no offset against any
amounts due to you hereunder on account of any remuneration attributable to any
subsequent employment that you may obtain. Any amounts due under "Termination of
Employment" are in the nature of severance payments, or liquidated damages, or
both, and are not in the nature of a penalty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company's obligation to provide continuation of benefits under the welfare
benefit plans described above shall cease if you become eligible for other
health insurance benefits at the expense of a new employer. You agree to notify
a duly authorized officer of the Company, in writing, immediately upon

employment which provides you with eligibility for health insurance benefit.

an intentional act of fraud, embezzlement, or theft in connection with your
duties in the course of your employment with the Company, or your engagement in
gross negligence in the course of your employment with the Company or (c) your
willful and deliberate failure to perform your employment duties in any material
respect. For purposes of the Offer Letter, an act or omission on your part shall
be deemed "intentional" or gross negligence only if it was done by you in bad
faith, not merely an error in judgment, and without reasonable belief that the
act or omission was in the best interest of the Company. For purposes of the
Offer Letter, "Good Reason" means and will be deemed to exist if, without your
prior express written consent, (i) you are assigned any duties or
responsibilities inconsistent in any respect with the scope of the duties or
responsibilities associated with your titles or positions, as set forth and
described above; (ii) you suffer a material change in the duties,
responsibilities, reporting rights or obligations, or effective authority
associated with your titles and positions and/or as set forth above; (iii) you
fail to be nominated to the Board or you are removed from the Board for any
reason other than cause; (iv) your Base Salary is decreased by the Company, or
your benefits under any of the Company's employee pension or welfare plans or
programs are in aggregate materially decreased; or (v) the Company fails to pay
your compensation, employee benefits or reimbursements when due.

     For purposes of the Offer Letter, "Change in Control" means (A) the
consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company in which the
stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger or consolidation,
would not, immediately after the merger or consolidation, beneficially own (as
such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended), directly or indirectly, shares representing the aggregate 50% or more
of the combined voting power of the securities of the corporation issuing cash
or securities in the merger or consolidation (or of its ultimate parent
corporation, if any); or (B) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of
complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or there is consummated an
agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all
of the Company's assets, other than a sale or disposition by the Company of all
or substantially all of the Company's assets to an entity, at least 50% of the
combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by persons in
substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Company immediately
prior to such sale.

     For purposes of the Offer Letter, "Disability" means your inability to
render, for a period of six consecutive months, services hereunder by reason of
permanent disability, as determined

                                       5

                                     <PAGE>

by the written medical opinion of an independent medical physician mutually
acceptable to you and the Company. If you and the Company cannot agree to such
an independent medical physician, each will appoint one medical physician and
those two physicians will appoint a third physician who will make such a
determination.

         Prior to your receipt of any benefits under the Offer Letter on account
of the termination of your employment, you will execute a release (the

benefits shall be payable under the Offer Letter and the Offer Letter shall be
null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to or in lieu of the
release contained in Exhibit A, you may be required to execute and deliver an
effective release in such other form as the Company may, in its sole discretion,
determine to be necessary or appropriate in order to comply with the
requirements of the laws of any jurisdiction applicable to you in order to make
a general release of claims effective and enforceable.

Expense Reimbursement

     You will be promptly reimbursed for all out-of-pocket costs incurred by you
in the performance of your duties hereunder, including, but not limited to,

                                 General Release

NOTICE: This is a very important document, and you should thoroughly review and
------ understand the terms and effect of this document before signing it. By
signing this General Release you will be releasing the Company from all
liability to you. Therefore, you should consult with an attorney before signing
the General Release. You have forty-five (45) days from the date of the
distribution of these materials to consider this document. If you have not
returned a signed copy of the General Release by that time, the Company will
assume that you have elected not to sign the General Release. If you choose to
sign the General Release, you will have an additional seven (7) days following
the date of your signature to revoke the agreement, and the agreement shall not
become effective or enforceable until the revocation period has expired. Any
revocation must be in writing and must be received by the Company within the
seven (7) day revocation period.

          a. In consideration of the benefits to which Bruce A. Peacock (the
"Executive") would not otherwise be entitled offered to the Executive by the
Company under the Offer Letter dated as of April 22, 2002 (the "Offer Letter"),
the Executive, on behalf of the Executive, and his heirs, executors and assigns,
hereby releases and discharges Adolor Corporation, and its affiliates, parents,
subsidiaries, successors, and predecessors, and all of their employees, agents,
attorneys, officers and directors (for purposes of this General Release,
hereinafter collectively referred to as "the Company") from any and all claims
and/or causes of action, known or unknown, which the Executive may have or could
claim to have against the Company up to and including the date of the Executive
signing this General Release. This General Release includes, but is not limited
to, all claims arising from or during the Executive's employment or as a result
of the termination of the Executive's employment, and all claims arising under
federal, state or local laws prohibiting employment discrimination based upon
age, race, sex, religion, handicap, national origin or any other protected
characteristic, including, but not limited to, any and all claims arising under
the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, and/or claims growing out of any legal restrictions, expressed or implied,
on the Company's right to control or terminate the employment of its employees.
This General Release does not include or affect the Executive's ability to apply
for unemployment compensation benefits or the Executive's vested rights, if any,
in the Amended and Restated 1994 Equity Compensation Plan of the Company.

          b. The Executive represents and warrants that he has not filed any
complaints against the Company with any state or federal court. The Executive
further agrees and covenants not institute or join any lawsuit (either
individually, with others, or as part of a class), in any forum, pleading,
raising or asserting any claim(s) barred or released by this General Release. If
the Executive does so and such claim(s) is found to be barred or released, in
whole or in part, by this General Release, the Executive shall reimburse the
Company for all costs and reasonable attorneys' fees (and/or applicable portion
thereof) incurred by the Company in defending against

                                      A-1

                                     <PAGE>

any such released claim(s). The only exception to the foregoing provision
regarding the reimbursement of costs and attorneys' fees is to the extent the
provision relates to claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act in
which the Executive is contesting the validity of the Offer Letter.

          c. The Executive will refrain from making any statements which are
disparaging of the Company, its subsidiaries, directors, officers, agents,
employees and successors; or from doing any act or making any statement which
will be damaging to the business or reputation of the Company.

     By signing below, the Executive agrees to be legally bound by the terms of
this General Release and acknowledges that he has carefully read and completely
understands the terms of this General Release and is signing it knowingly,
voluntarily and without duress, coercion, or undue influence.
