Exchange Act of 1934, including statements regarding LeukoSite's drug
development programs, clinical trials, receipt of regulatory approval, capital
needs, intellectual property, expectations and intentions. Forward-looking
statements necessarily involve risks and uncertainties, and LeukoSite's actual
results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking
statements due to a number of factors, including those set forth below under
"Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus. The factors set forth below
under "Risk Factors" and other cautionary statements made in this prospectus
should be read and understood as being applicable to all related forward-looking
statements wherever they appear in this prospectus.
RISK FACTORS
INVESTING IN LEUKOSITE'S COMMON STOCK IS VERY RISKY. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE
TO BEAR A COMPLETE LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE
FOLLOWING FACTORS, IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS.
OUR DRUG CANDIDATES MAY NOT PROVE TO BE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE IN HUMAN
CLINICAL TRIALS.
We are currently testing three monoclonal antibody and two small
molecule products in human clinical trials. Clinical trials of drug candidates
involve the testing of potential therapeutic agents in humans to determine
whether the drug candidates are safe and effective and, if so, to what degree.
Many drugs in human clinical trials fail to demonstrate the desired safety and
efficacy characteristics. Drugs in later stages of clinical development may fail
to show the desired safety and efficacy traits despite having progressed through
initial human testing. The clinical trials of any of our drug candidates may not
be successful which may prevent us from commercializing the drug, substantially
impairing our business, financial condition and results of operations.
OUR DRUG CANDIDATES ARE SUBJECT TO GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION AND PRODUCT
APPROVALS.
Our products currently under development are subject to extensive and
rigorous regulation by the federal government, principally the FDA, and by state
and local governments. If we market these products abroad, foreign governments
may also impose export/import requirements and other restrictive regulations. We
must complete all appropriate regulatory clearance processes before
commercializing a product, which is lengthy and expensive. We cannot be sure
that we can obtain necessary regulatory approvals on a timely basis, if at all,
for any of the products we are currently developing, and all of the following
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations
- significant delays in obtaining or failing to obtain required
approvals
- loss of previously obtained approvals
-3-
<PAGE>
- failing to comply with existing or future regulatory requirements
Complying with FDA regulatory requirements applicable to product
development and obtaining FDA approval can take a number of years, involves the
expenditure of substantial resources and is uncertain. Many products that
initially appear promising ultimately do not reach the market because they are
found to be unsafe or ineffective or cannot meet the FDA's other regulatory
requirements. Moreover, it is possible that the current regulatory framework
could change or additional regulations could arise at any stage during our
product development, which may affect our ability to obtain approval as
anticipated, delay the submission or review of an application, or require
additional expenditures by LeukoSite.
All of LeukoSite's product candidates will require FDA and foreign
government approvals for commercialization, none of which have been obtained.
LeukoSite and ILEX Oncology are required to file a Biologies Licensing
Application (BLA) with the FDA before beginning commercialization of
CAMPATH-Registered Trademark- in the United States and must also file for
marketing approval from other jurisdictions. We are not certain when,
independently or with our collaborative partners, we will submit any marketing
applications for our other monoclonal antibodies or small molecule antagonists
under development. We cannot guarantee that any studies will demonstrate that
the products are safe and effective for their intended uses, or that the FDA
will grant required approval on a timely basis, or at all, for
CAMPATH-Registered Trademark- or other product for any studied indications.
Government regulations may cause delays in LeukoSite's marketing of
products for a considerable or indefinite time, which could impose costly
procedural requirements upon LeukoSite's activities. While we attempt to comply
with such applicable government regulations, larger companies or companies more
experienced in regulatory affairs may obtain a competitive advantage over us.
Delays in obtaining governmental regulatory approval could adversely affect our
marketing strategy as well as our ability to generate revenue from commercial
sales. Our inability to obtain marketing approval of our products on a timely
basis, or at all, would have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
WE ARE IN THE EARLY STAGES OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT.
Many of LeukoSite's research and development programs are at an early
stage of development. The FDA has not approved any of our product candidates. We
have limited experience in conducting preclinical and clinical trials.
Furthermore, even if we receive initially positive preclinical trial results,
such results do not mean that similar results will be obtained in the later
stages of drug development, such as additional preclinical trials or human
clinical testing. All of our potential drug candidates are prone to the risks of
failure inherent in pharmaceutical product development, including the
possibility that none of our drug candidates will or can
- be safe and effective
- otherwise meet applicable regulatory standards
- receive the necessary regulatory marketing approvals
- develop into commercially viable drugs
- be manufactured or produced economically and on a large scale
-4-
<PAGE>
- be successfully marketed
- be reimbursed by government or private consumers
- achieve customer acceptance
In addition, third parties may preclude us from marketing our drugs through
enforcement of their proprietary rights. Or, third parties may succeed in
marketing equivalent or superior drug products. Our failure to develop safe,
commercially viable drugs would have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
WE DEPEND ON OUR COLLABORATIVE PARTNERS.
A key element of LeukoSite's strategy is to accelerate certain of its
drug discovery and development programs and to fund its capital requirements, in
part, through collaboration agreements with major pharmaceutical companies. We
currently have collaboration agreements with Warner-Lambert Company, Roche
Bioscience, Kyowa Hakko Kogyo, Ltd. and Genentech, Inc. Each of our partners has
the right, but not the obligation, to conduct preclinical and clinical trials of
the compounds developed during their collaboration with us and to develop and
commercialize any drug candidates resulting from their collaboration with us.
For example, under the Genentech collaboration agreement, Genentech has the
right, but not the obligation, to conduct Phase III clinical trials of our
LDP-02 monoclonal antibody product. Thus, the collaboration agreements allow our
collaborative partners significant discretion in electing whether to pursue the
development of any potential drug candidates. As a result, we cannot control the
amount and timing of the resources dedicated by our collaborative partners to
their respective collaborations with us.
This also means that LeukoSite's right to receive revenues under the
collaboration agreements for drug development milestones or royalties,
co-promotion rights or profit-sharing on sales is dependent largely upon the
activities and the development, manufacturing and marketing resources of its
collaborative partners. As such
- our partners may not pursue the development and commercialization
of compounds resulting from their collaboration with us
- any development or commercialization may not be successful even if
our partners pursued such efforts
- we may not derive any royalty or product sales revenue from our
collaborations
Moreover, certain drug candidates discovered by LeukoSite may be
competitive with our partners' drugs or drug candidates. Accordingly, it is
possible that our collaborative partners will choose not to proceed with the
development of our drug candidates or that they will pursue their existing or
alternative technologies in preference to our drug candidates. We advise you
that
- our interests may not always coincide with those of our
collaborative partners
- some of our collaborative partners could independently develop or
develop with third parties drugs which compete with ours
-5-
<PAGE>
- disagreements with our partners over rights to technology or other
proprietary interests might occur, leading to delays in research
or in the development and commercialization of certain product
candidates (such disputes could also require or result in
litigation or arbitration, which is time-consuming and expensive)
OUR AGREEMENTS WITH OUR COLLABORATIVE PARTNERS ARE TERMINABLE.
LeukoSite relies on its collaborative partners to fund a substantial
portion of its research operations and clinical trials. Although each of the
collaboration agreements may be extended past its current term, we cannot be
sure that these contracts will be extended or renewed, or that any renewal, if
made, will be on terms favorable to us. The following table explains how some of
our major collaboration agreements can be terminated:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
AGREEMENT TERMINATION RIGHTS
- -------------------------------- ------------------------------------
<S> <C>
Warner-Lambert Company (all agreements) By either party upon breach by other
party; at any time for any reason
upon 6 months written notice
Kyowa Hakko Kogyo, Ltd. By either party upon breach by other
party; at any time upon 60 days
written notice
Genentech, Inc. By either party upon breach by other
party; at any time upon 9 months
written notice
Roche BioScience By either party upon breach by other
party and for such other reasons (by
Roche BioScience) as set forth in
the agreement
</TABLE>
In short, we cannot guarantee that any of the collaboration agreements
will remain in effect for its expected term. If any of the collaborative
partners terminates or breaches its agreement with LeukoSite, or fails to
conduct its collaborative activities in a timely manner, then the development or
commercialization of any drug candidate or research program with such partner
could be delayed or terminated. Alternatively, we may have to devote unexpected
and unbudgeted additional resources to such development or commercialization,
all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES AND AN EXPECTATION OF FUTURE LOSSES.
LeukoSite has incurred a net operating loss every year since it was
incorporated in May 1992, and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $52.8
million through March 31, 1999. LeukoSite expects to incur significant
additional operating losses over the next several years and
-6-
<PAGE>
expects cumulative losses to increase substantially due to expanded research and
development efforts, preclinical and clinical trials and commercialization
expenses. In 1999, we expect that our only revenues will come from milestone
payments and any other amounts received under existing and future collaboration
agreements, if any. It is possible that we may not be able to
- successfully commercialize any of our products
- establish any additional collaborative relationships on terms
acceptable to us
- maintain the current collaboration agreements in effect
- achieve the milestones that are required for us to receive funds
from our current collaborative partners
LeukoSite's ability to generate revenue or achieve profitability is
dependent in part on its and its collaborative partners' ability to complete the
development of drug candidates successfully, to obtain regulatory approvals for
drug candidates and to manufacture and commercialize any resulting drugs. We
cannot provide assurance that we will successfully identify, develop,
commercialize, manufacture and market any products, obtain required regulatory
approvals or achieve profitability.
WE HAVE SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT COSTS AND ARE UNCERTAIN AS TO THE
AVAILABILITY OF FUTURE FUNDING.
LeukoSite will require substantial additional funds in order to finance
its drug discovery and development programs, fund operating expenses, pursue
regulatory clearances, and prosecute and defend its intellectual property
rights. We depend heavily upon our collaborative partners for research and
clinical trials funding and we cannot be sure that our existing collaboration
agreements will provide the necessary funding to meet our operating expenses.
LeukoSite intends to seek additional funding through public or private
financing or collaboration or other arrangements with collaborative partners. If
we raise additional funds by issuing new equity securities, this may result in
further dilution to our existing stockholders. In addition, any future investors
may demand (and we may have to grant) rights superior to those of our existing
stockholders in order to obtain additional funds. Still, we cannot be sure that
additional financing will be available, in the first instance, from any sources
or, even if available, that such funds will be available on acceptable terms.
OUR PATENT AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS COULD AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE.
LeukoSite's success will depend in part on its ability to obtain United
States and foreign patent protection for its drug candidates and processes,
preserve its trade secrets, and operate without infringing the proprietary
rights of third parties. We place considerable importance on obtaining patent
protection for significant new technologies, products and processes. Legal
standards relating to the validity of patents covering pharmaceutical and
biotechnological inventions, and the scope of claims made under such patents,
are still developing. Our patent position is highly uncertain and involves
complex legal and factual questions. We cannot be certain that the named
applicants or inventors of the subject matter covered by our patent applications
or patents (whether directly owned by us or licensed to us) were the first to
invent or the first to file patent applications for such inventions. Third
parties may challenge, infringe
-7-
<PAGE>
upon, circumvent or seek to invalidate existing or future patents owned by or
licensed to us. A court or other agency with jurisdiction may find our patents
unenforceable. Even if we have valid patents, these patents still may not
provide sufficient protection against competitive products or other commercially
valuable products or processes.
If a third party claims the same or overlapping subject matter as we
have claimed in a United States patent application or patent, then we may decide
or be required to participate in interference proceedings in the United States
Patent and Trademark Office in order to determine who invented the subject
matter first. If we lost such an interference proceeding, then we would be
deprived of the patent protection we previously sought or obtained. Indeed,
regardless of whether we win or lose in such proceedings, we would still incur
substantial costs.
In addition to patent protection, LeukoSite relies on trade secrets,
proprietary know-how, and confidentiality provisions in agreements with our
collaborative partners, employees and consultants to protect our intellectual
property. We also rely on invention assignment provisions in agreements with
employees and certain consultants. It is possible that these agreements could be
breached or that we might not have adequate remedies for any such breaches.
Third parties may learn of or independently discover our trade secrets,
proprietary know-how and intellectual property, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
LeukoSite's product candidates LDP-01, LDP-02 and CAMPATH-Registered
Trademark- are humanized monoclonal antibodies. We are aware that both the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office and certain foreign governments have issued patents
to third parties which relate to certain humanized antibodies, products useful
for making humanized antibodies, and processes for making and using humanized
antibodies. We may choose to seek or be required to seek licenses under certain
of these patents.
We are also aware of third party applications in the United States and
abroad relating to certain humanized monoclonal antibodies, products useful for
making humanized antibodies, and processes for making and using humanized
antibodies. LeukoSite may choose to seek or be required to seek licenses under
some or all of the patents which might issue from these patent applications.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LITIGATION COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.
There is significant and widespread litigation in the pharmaceutical
and biotechnology industry regarding patents and proprietary rights. LeukoSite
may need to assert claims of infringement, enforce its patents, protect trade
secrets, know-how or other intellectual property rights, or determine the scope
or validity of proprietary rights of third parties. Conversely, we may need to
defend against claims of infringement by third parties. We cannot guarantee that
any of our patents will ultimately be held valid or that our efforts to assert
or defend any patents, trade secrets, know-how or other intellectual property
rights would be successful. Similarly, we cannot guarantee that our products or
processes will not be held to infringe the patents or other intellectual
property rights of others. Uncertainties emanating from the initiation and
continuation of any patent or related litigation could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The expenses of intellectual property litigation or other similar
proceedings would be likely to be substantial, and could have a material adverse
effect on LeukoSite's business, financial condition and results of operations.
An adverse outcome in such litigation or
-8-
<PAGE>
proceeding could subject LeukoSite to significant liabilities or require
LeukoSite to cease certain activities. If any of our present or future products
or processes is alleged or determined to infringe upon the patents or
impermissibly use the intellectual property of others, we may choose or be
required to obtain licenses from third parties under their patents or
proprietary rights. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain those
licenses on acceptable terms, if at all. In such event, we would be severely
restricted or prohibited from the development, manufacture and sale of our drug
candidates.
INTENSE COMPETITION CREATES RISKS.
The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are intensely
competitive. LeukoSite has many competitors both in the United States and
abroad, including major, multinational pharmaceutical and chemical companies,
specialized biotechnology firms and universities and other research
institutions. Many of our competitors have greater financial and other
resources, such as larger research and development staffs and more effective
marketing and manufacturing organizations. Our competitors may succeed in
developing or licensing on an exclusive basis technologies and drugs that are
more effective or less costly than any which we are currently developing, which
could render our technology and future drug products obsolete and
noncompetitive. It is possible for our competitors to obtain FDA or other
regulatory approvals for drug candidates before we can. In general, companies
that begin commercial sale of their drugs before their competitors have a
significant competitive advantage in the marketplace, including the ability to
obtain certain patent and FDA marketing exclusivity rights that would delay our
ability to market certain products. Even if our drugs or drug products are
approved for sale, we cannot assure our ability to compete successfully with
competitors' existing products or products under development.
WE RELY ON CONTRACT MANUFACTURERS AND LACK MANUFACTURING EXPERIENCE
OURSELVES.
LeukoSite depends on third parties to manufacture its product
candidates and is aware of only a limited number of manufacturers which it
believes has the ability and capability to manufacture its drug candidates for
preclinical and clinical trials. LeukoSite and ILEX have an agreement with
Boehringer Ingleheim for the production of CAMPATH-Registered Trademark- for our
clinical trials and for any commercial sales. If we were required to transfer
manufacturing processes to other third-party manufacturers, then we could
experience significant delays in supply. If, at any time, we are unable to
maintain, develop or contract for manufacturing capabilities on acceptable
terms, then our ability to conduct preclinical and clinical trials with our drug
candidates will be adversely affected, resulting in delays in the submission of
drug candidates for regulatory approvals. We have no experience in manufacturing
and we currently lack the facilities and personnel to manufacture products in
accordance with Good Manufacturing Practices as prescribed by the FDA or to
produce an adequate supply of compounds to meet future requirements for
preclinical and clinical trials.
THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ILEX JOINT VENTURE.
LeukoSite has entered into a joint venture with ILEX for the
development and commercialization of CAMPATH-Registered Trademark- for the
treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. As part of the joint venture, we are
obligated to share fifty percent of the development costs of CAMPATH-Registered
Trademark-. If LeukoSite fails for any reason to make a required capital
contribution to the joint venture, then ILEX may gain control of the management
of the joint venture and become entitled to a greater share of the profits
derived
-9-
<PAGE>
from product sales of CAMPATH-Registered Trademark-. At the same time, if ILEX
fails for any reason to make a required capital contribution to the joint
venture, then we may be required to make additional capital contributions to the
joint venture to maintain the desired level of development activities by the
joint venture. It is possible that we may not have the resources to compensate
for any failure by ILEX to make any capital contributions in its stead and the
joint venture may not be able to continue operations with lesser funding. In
addition, after the earlier of a change in control (as defined in the joint
venture agreement between LeukoSite and ILEX) of ILEX or LeukoSite and October
2, 2000, either company has the right to purchase the other company's ownership
of the joint venture in the event of an unresolved deadlock. As a result,
LeukoSite may never be able to recoup its investment in the joint venture.
RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE COULD RENDER PRODUCTS OBSOLETE.
Biotechnology and related pharmaceutical technology have undergone and
are subject to rapid and significant change. LeukoSite expects that the
technologies associated with biotechnology research and development will
continue along this rapid path. Our success will depend in large part on our
ability to maintain a competitive position in the rapidly changing environment.
Because of the rapid changes in technology, our compounds, products or processes
may become obsolete before we can recover the expenses incurred in developing
such compounds, products or processes. We cannot assure that we can maintain our
technological competitiveness.
WE DEPEND ON KEY PERSONNEL.
We believe that our ability to successfully implement our business
strategy is highly dependent on our management and scientific team. None of our
executive officers has employment agreements with us. Losing the services of one
or more of these individuals might hinder our ability to achieve our development
objectives. We are highly dependent on our ability to hire and retain qualified
scientific and technical personnel. The competition for these employees is
intense. We cannot be sure that we can continue to hire and retain the qualified
personnel needed for our business. Loss of the services of or the failure to
recruit key scientific and technical personnel could adversely affect our
business, operating results and financial condition.
CERTAIN EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS HOLD A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF OUR STOCK.
LeukoSite's officers, directors and principal stockholders own or
control approximately 48.7% of the outstanding common stock. As a result,
these stockholders, acting together, will have the ability to control most
matters requiring approval by the stockholders.
WE HAVE NOT DECLARED ANY DIVIDENDS.
We have never declared or paid cash dividends. We do not intend to
declare or pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
THERE ARE THREE GROUPS OF SELLING STOCKHOLDERS COVERED BY THIS
PROSPECTUS. The first group of stockholders are those persons who are former
shareholders of CytoMed, Inc. who have received shares and/or may receive (as
a portion of contingent consideration for the merger) additional shares of
LeukoSite's common stock. The second group of stockholders are those persons
who purchased shares of LeukoSite common stock in the private placement of
LeukoSite's common stock which occurred on July 1, 1998 and/or who were
entitled to have shares registered in connection therewith. The third group
of stockholders are those persons who are both former shareholders of
CytoMed, Inc. and participants in the July 1998 private placement and who
received shares (and/or are expected to receive additional shares) of common
stock in connection with both transactions.
CYTOMED MERGER ONLY
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
Under an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated January
4, 1999, among LeukoSite, LeukoSite Merger Corporation, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of LeukoSite, and CytoMed, Inc., we agreed to register the LeukoSite
common stock to be issued as consideration for the merger of CytoMed with and
into LeukoSite Merger Corporation for the accounts of the former shareholders of
CytoMed. We also agreed to use our best efforts to keep the Registration
Statement effective for two years, or until all of the shares are sold under the
Registration Statement, whichever comes first. Our registration of the shares of
common stock does not necessarily mean that the selling shareholders will sell
all or any of the shares. Certain of the selling stockholders have agreed not to
sell any of their shares of common stock acquired as consideration for the
merger until after August 12, 1999.
The following tables set forth certain information regarding the
beneficial ownership of the common stock as of July 28, 1999, by each of the
selling stockholders.
The information provided in the tables below with respect to each
selling stockholder is based upon our calculation of such ownership under the
Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization or has been obtained from such
selling stockholder and, in the case of the contingent shares listed below is
based upon our estimate of the maximum number of shares which might be issued to
such selling stockholders, assuming a price per share of LeukoSite Common Stock
of $11.88 (i.e., those numbers are estimates only). Except as otherwise
disclosed below, none of the selling stockholders has, or within the past three
years has had, any position, office or other material relationship with
LeukoSite. Because the selling stockholders may sell all or some portion of the
shares of common stock beneficially owned by them, only an estimate (assuming
each selling stockholder sells all of its shares offered hereby) can be given as
to the number of shares of common stock that will be beneficially owned by the
selling stockholders after this offering. In addition, the selling stockholders
may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or
otherwise dispose of, at any time or from time to time since the date on which
they provided the information regarding the shares of common stock beneficially
owned by them, all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned
by them in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933. Certain selling stockholders have NOT provided
information to us regarding the shares of common stock beneficially owned by
them.
The information provided below covers the initial issuance of 935,625
shares of common

stock (of which an aggregate of 187,125 shares were placed in escrow - see
break-down in the second table below) and also assumes the issuance, as
additional consideration if and when we receive certain cash payments, of an
additional 631,313 shares of common stock, at a price per share of $11.88, to
such former CytoMed shareholders. The following information regarding the
contingent shares may be subject to change upon the occurrence of the actual
receipt of the cash payments referred to in the foregoing sentence and depending
on the then-prevailing price for LeukoSite common stock at such time. Any shares
remaining in escrow (see second table for allocation) shall be released after
December 31, 1999, if but only if on or prior to December 31, 1999 there have
not been any claims against such escrow pursuant to the terms of the merger
agreement, OR, after February 11, 2001, if on or prior to December 31, 1999
there has been a claim against such escrow pursuant to the terms of the merger
agreement.

1998 PRIVATE PLACEMENT
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
Under a Registration Rights Agreement dated July 1, 1998 among
LeukoSite and certain selling stockholders, we agreed to register the LeukoSite
common stock sold to those selling stockholders in the private placement and to
use our best efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective for two years,
or until all of the shares are sold under the Registration Statement, whichever
comes first. Our registration of the shares of common stock does not necessarily
mean that the selling shareholders will sell all or any of the shares. The
following list of selling stockholders also includes those persons who are
entitled to have registered certain shares of common stock held by them pursuant
to registration rights previously granted by LeukoSite.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the
beneficial ownership of the common stock as of July 28, 1999, by each of the
selling stockholders.
-16-
<PAGE>
The information provided in the table below with respect to each
selling stockholder has either been obtained from such selling stockholder or
estimated by the Company (in cases in which such selling stockholders did not
provide updated information). Except as otherwise disclosed below, none of the
selling stockholders has, or within the past three years has had, any position,
office or other material relationship with the Company. Because the selling
stockholders may sell all or some portion of the shares of common stock
beneficially owned by them, only an estimate (assuming each selling stockholder
sells all of its shares offered hereby) can be given as to the number of shares
of common stock that will be beneficially owned by the selling stockholders
after this offering. In addition, the selling stockholders may have sold,
transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose
of, at any time or from time to time since the date on which they last provided
the information regarding the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them,
all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them in
transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of
1933. Certain selling stockholders have NOT provided updated information to us
regarding the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The shares of common stock may be sold from time to time by the selling
stockholders in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at market prices at
the time of sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at
negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may offer their shares of common
stock in one or more of the following transactions:
- on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which
the common stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale,
including the Nasdaq National Stock Market,
- in the over-the-counter market,
- in private transactions,
- through options,
- by pledge to secure debts and other obligations, or
- a combination of any of the above transactions.
If required, we will distribute a supplement to this prospectus to
describe material changes in the terms of the offering.
The shares of common stock described in this prospectus may be sold
from time to time directly by the selling stockholders. Alternatively, the
selling stockholders may from time to time offer shares of common stock to or
through underwriters, broker/dealers or agents. The selling stockholders and any
underwriters, broker/dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of
the shares of common stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning
of the Securities Act of 1933. Any profits on the resale of shares of common
stock and any compensation received by any underwriter, broker/dealer or agent
may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities
Act of 1933.
Any shares covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant
to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 may be sold under Rule 144 rather
than pursuant to this prospectus. The selling stockholders may not sell all of
the shares. The selling stockholders may transfer, devise or gift such shares by
other means not described in this prospectus.
To comply with the securities laws of certain jurisdictions the common
stock must be offered or sold only through registered or licensed brokers or
dealers. In addition, in certain jurisdictions, the common stock may not be
offered or sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an
-24-
<PAGE>
exemption is available and complied with.
Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, any person engaged in a
distribution of the common stock may not simultaneously engage in market-making
activities with respect to the common stock for nine business days prior to the
start of the distribution. In addition, each selling stockholder and any other
person participating in a distribution will be subject to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of common
stock by the selling stockholders or any such other person. These factors may
affect the marketability of the common stock and the ability of brokers or
dealers to engage in market-making activities.
All expenses of this registration will be paid by LeukoSite. These
expenses include the SEC's filing fees and fees under state securities or "blue
sky" laws. The selling stockholders will pay all underwriting discounts and
selling commissions, if any.
LEGAL MATTERS
Bingham Dana LLP, Boston, Massachusetts will give its opinion that the
shares offered in this prospectus have been validly issued and are fully paid

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or
sales are being made pursuant to this Registration Statement,
a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to
include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration
Statement or any material change to such information in this
Registration Statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
Registration Statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15 (d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be

<PAGE>
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions described in Item 15 above,
or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

[letterhead of Bingham Dana]
August 2, 1999
LeukoSite, Inc.
215 First Street
Cambridge, MA 02142
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to LeukoSite, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company") in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act"), of up to an additional 1,566,938 shares (the
"Shares") of the Company's Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, to be
offered by certain stockholders of the Company (the "Selling Stockholders"),
pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3, initially filed by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 13, 1999.
As such counsel, we have reviewed the corporate proceedings taken by the
Company with respect to the authorization of the issuance of the Shares. We
have also examined and relied upon originals or copies, certified or
otherwise authenticated to our satisfaction, of such corporate records,
documents, agreements or other instruments of the Company. As to all matters
of fact (including factual conclusions and characterizations and descriptions
of purpose, intention or other state of mind), we have entirely relied upon
certificates of officers of the Company, and have assumed, without
independent inquiry, the accuracy of those certificates.
We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the conformity to the
originals of all documents reviewed by us as copies, the authenticity and
completeness of all original documents reviewed by us in original or copy
form and the legal competence of each individual executing a document. We
have also assumed that the registration requirements of the Act and all
applicable requirements of state laws regulating the sale of securities will
have been duly satisfied.
With respect to our opinion set forth below with respect to the Shares,
we have assumed that the Company has received the specified purchase price or
other consideration therefor set forth in that certain Agreement and Plan of
Merger and Reorganization, dated January 4, 1999.
<PAGE>
August 2, 1999
Page 2
This opinion is limited solely to the Delaware General Corporation Law
as applied by courts located in the State of Delaware.
Subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares have been
duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid and are non-assessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Bingham Dana LLP

Exhibit 10.2
LEUKOSITE, INC.
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
This REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT") is made as of
July 1, 1998 by and among (i) LeukoSite, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"COMPANY"), and (ii) each person listed on EXHIBIT A attached hereto
(collectively, the "INVESTORS" and each individually, an "INVESTOR").
WHEREAS, the Company has agreed to issue and sell to the Investors, and
the Investors have agreed to purchase from the Company, 1,967,169 shares (the
"SHARES") of the Company's common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "COMMON
STOCK"), all upon the terms and conditions set forth in that certain Stock
Purchase Agreement, dated of even date herewith, between the Company and the
Investors (the "STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT"); and
WHEREAS, the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement provide that it
shall be a condition precedent to the closing of the transactions thereunder,
for the Company and the Investors to execute and deliver this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS. The following terms shall have the meanings provided
therefor below or elsewhere in this Agreement as described below:
"BOARD" shall mean the board of directors of the Company.
"CLOSING" shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Stock
Purchase Agreement.
"EXCHANGE ACT" shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.
"MAJORITY INVESTORS" shall mean, at the relevant time of reference
thereto, those Investors holding and/or having the right to acquire, as the case
may be, more than fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Shares.
"QUALIFYING INVESTOR" shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in
Section 10 hereof.
"REGISTRABLE SHARES" shall mean, at the relevant time of reference
thereto, the Shares then held by the Investors (including any shares of capital
stock that
<PAGE>
-2-
were issued in respect thereof pursuant to a stock split, stock dividend,
recombination, reclassification or the like).
"RULE 144" shall mean Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and
any successor or substitute rule, law or provision.
"SEC" shall mean the Securities and Exchange Commission.
"SECURITIES ACT" shall mean the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
2. MANDATORY REGISTRATION.
(a) On or prior to October 15, 1998, the Company will prepare and file
with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 for the purpose of registering
under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Shares for resale by, and for
the account of, the Investors as selling stockholders thereunder (the "MANDATORY
S-3 REGISTRATION STATEMENT"). The Mandatory S-3 Registration Statement shall
permit the Investors to offer and sell, on a delayed or continuous basis
pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, any or all of the Registrable
Shares. The Company agrees to use its best efforts to cause the Mandatory S-3
Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable after filing.
The Company shall only be required to keep the Mandatory S-3 Registration
Statement effective until the earlier of (i) the date when all of the
Registrable Shares registered thereunder shall have been sold or (ii) the second
anniversary of the Closing. Thereafter, the Company shall be entitled to
withdraw the Mandatory S-3 Registration Statement and the Investors shall have
no further right to offer or sell any of the Registrable Shares pursuant to the
Mandatory S-3 Registration Statement (or any prospectus relating thereto).
(b) The shares subject to the Mandatory S-3 Registration Statement
shall not be underwritten unless the Company shall otherwise consent in its sole
and absolute discretion.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2 to the contrary, if the
Company shall furnish to the Investors a certificate signed by the President or
Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that the Board of Directors of
the Company has made the good faith determination (i) that continued use by the
Investors of the registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to Section
2 hereof for purposes of effecting offers or sales of Registrable Shares
pursuant thereto would require, under the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, premature disclosure in the registration
statement (or the prospectus relating thereto) of material, nonpublic
information concerning the Company, its business or prospects or any proposed
material transaction involving the Company, (ii) that such premature disclosure
would be materially adverse to the Company, its business or prospects or any
<PAGE>
-3-
such proposed material transaction or would make the successful consummation by
the Company of any such material transaction significantly less likely and (iii)
that it is therefore essential to suspend the use by the Investors of such
registration statement (and the prospectus relating thereto) for purposes of
effecting offers or sales of Registrable Shares pursuant thereto, then the right
of the Investors to use such registration statement (and the prospectus relating
thereto) for purposes of effecting offers or sales of Registrable Shares
pursuant thereto shall be suspended for a period (the "Suspension Period") of
not more than 90 days after delivery by the Company of the certificate referred
to above in this Section 2(c). During the Suspension Period, none of the
Investors shall offer or sell any Registrable Shares pursuant to or in reliance
upon such registration statement (or the prospectus relating thereto). The
Company agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the consummation,
abandonment or public disclosure of the event or transaction that caused the
Company to suspend the use of the registration statement (and the prospectus
relating thereto) pursuant to this Section 2(c), the Company will provide the
Investors with revised prospectuses, if required, and will notify the Investors
of their ability to effect offers or sales of Registrable Shares pursuant to or
in reliance upon such registration statement.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed or implied in
this Agreement, if Form S-3 or any substitute form is not then available or
becomes unavailable for the registration of such Registrable Shares that would
otherwise have been registered by the Investors pursuant to this Section 2, the
Company shall be obligated to as promptly as practicable thereafter prepare and
file a registration statement on Form S-1 and the provisions of this Section 2
shall govern and apply to such registration on Form S-1.
3. "PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION".
(a) If, at any time after the date hereof, the Company
proposes to register any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act, whether
as a result of a primary or secondary offering of Common Stock or pursuant to
registration rights granted to holders of other securities of the Company (but
excluding in all cases any registration pursuant to Section 2 hereof or any
registrations to be effected on Forms S-4 or S-8 or other applicable successor
Forms), the Company shall, each such time, give to the Investors written notice
of its intent to do so. Upon the written request of any Investor given within 30
days after the giving of any such notice by the Company, the Company shall use
its best efforts to cause to be included in such registration the Registrable
Shares of such selling Investor, to the extent requested to be registered;
PROVIDED that (i) the number of Registrable Shares proposed to be sold by such
selling Investor is equal to at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the total
number of Registrable Shares then held by such selling Investor, (ii) such
selling Investor agrees to sell those of its Registrable Shares to be included
in such registration in the same manner and
<PAGE>
-4-
on the same terms and conditions as the other shares of Common Stock which the
Company proposes to register, and (iii) if the registration is to include shares
of Common Stock to be sold for the account of the Company or any party
exercising demand registration rights pursuant to any other agreement with the
Company, the proposed managing underwriter does not advise the Company that in
its opinion the inclusion of such selling Investor's Registrable Shares (without
any reduction in the number of shares to be sold for the account of the Company
or such party exercising demand registration rights) is likely to affect
materially and adversely the success of the offering or the price that would be
received for any shares of Common Stock offered, in which case the rights of
such selling Investor shall be as provided in Section 3(b) hereof.
(b) If a registration pursuant to Section 3 hereof involves an
underwritten offering and the managing underwriter shall advise the Company in
writing that, in its opinion, the number of shares of Common Stock requested by
the Investors to be included in such registration is likely to affect materially
and adversely the success of the offering or the price that would be received
for any shares of Common Stock offered in such offering, then, notwithstanding
anything in Section 3 to the contrary, the Company shall only be required to
include in such registration, to the extent of the number of shares of Common
Stock which the Company is so advised can be sold in such offering, (i) first,
the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such
registration for the account of the Company and/or any stockholders of the
Company (other than the Investors) that have exercised demand registration
rights, in accordance with the priorities, if any, then existing among the
Company and/or such stockholders of the Company with registration rights (other
than the Investors), and (ii) second, the shares of Common Stock requested to be
included in such registration by all other stockholders of the Company
(including, without limitation, the Investors), PRO RATA among such other
stockholders (including, without limitation, the Investors) on the basis of the
number of shares of Common Stock that each of them requested to be included in
such registration.
(c) In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of
shares, the Company shall not be required under Section 3 hereof or otherwise to
include the Registrable Shares of any Investor therein unless such Investor
accepts and agrees to the terms of the underwriting, which shall be reasonable
and customary, as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected
by the Company.
4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. Whenever the Company is required under
Section 2 or 3 hereof to use its best efforts to effect the registration of any
of the Registrable Shares of the Investors, the Company shall, as expeditiously
as practicable:
<PAGE>
-5-
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement
with respect to such Registrable Shares and use its best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become and remain effective;
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities
Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Shares covered by such
registration statement;
(c) Notify the Investors promptly and, if requested by any
Investor, confirm such advice in writing (i) when a registration statement has
become effective and when any post-effective amendments and supplements thereto
become effective, and (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any state securities
commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration
statement.
(d) Furnish to the selling Investors such number of copies of
a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents (including, without
limitation, prospectus amendments and supplements as are prepared by the Company
in accordance with Section 4(e) below) as the selling Investors may reasonably
request in order to facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Shares;
(e) Notify the Investors, at any time when a prospectus
relating to such registration statement is required to be delivered under the
Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the
prospectus included in or relating to such registration statement contains an
untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading; and, thereafter, the Company will, subject to
the provisions of Section 2(c), promptly prepare (and, when completed, give
notice to each Investor) a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that,
as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Shares, such
prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; PROVIDED
that upon such notification by the Company, the Investors will not offer or sell
Registrable Shares until the Company has notified the Investors that it has
prepared a supplement or amendment to such prospectus and delivered copies of
such supplement or amendment to the Investors (it being understood and agreed by
the Company that the foregoing proviso shall in no way diminish or otherwise
impair the Company's obligation, subject to the provisions of Section 2(c), to
promptly prepare a prospectus amendment or supplement as above provided in this
Section 4(e) and deliver copies of same as above provided in Section 4(d)
hereof);
<PAGE>
-6-
(f) Use its best efforts to register and qualify such

of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus
or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto,
or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the

provisions of Section 8(c); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the indemnity agreement
contained in this Section 8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of
any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected
without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss,
damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon
an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission made in connection
with such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or
amendments or supplements thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such
registration by the selling Investors, any underwriter for them or controlling
person with respect to them.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, each selling
Investor will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors,
each of its officers who have signed such registration statement, each person,
if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any

other selling Investors against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to
which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, or

insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereto) arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement
of any material fact contained in such registration statement, including any
preliminary prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements
thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent that such
untrue statement or alleged
<PAGE>
-8-
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in such registration
statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or amendments or
supplements thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished by the selling Investor expressly for use in connection with such
registration; and such selling Investor will reimburse any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer,
controlling person, underwriter or other selling Investor in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action,
subject to the provisions of Section 8(c), PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the maximum
amount of liability of each selling Investor hereunder shall be limited to the
proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions, if any) actually
received by such selling Investor from the sale of Registrable Shares covered by
such registration statement, and PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that the indemnity
agreement contained in this Section 8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such
settlement is effected without the consent of those selling Investor(s) against
which the request for indemnity is being made (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld).
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party
under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to
participate in and, to the extent the indemnifying party desires, jointly with
any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume at its expense the
defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that, if any indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that
there may be one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified party
which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying
party, or that such claim or litigation involves or could have an effect upon
matters beyond the scope of the indemnity agreement provided in this Section 8,
the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such
action on behalf of such indemnified party, and such indemnifying party shall
reimburse such indemnified party and any person controlling such indemnified
party for the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the indemnified party
which are reasonably related to the matters covered by the indemnity agreement
provided in this Section 8. Subject to the foregoing, an indemnified party shall
have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate
in the defense thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at
the expense of the Company. The failure to notify an indemnifying party promptly
of the commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to his ability
to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to
the indemnified party under this Section 8, but the omission so to notify the
<PAGE>
-9-
indemnifying party will not relieve him of any liability which he may have to
any indemnified party otherwise other than under this Section 8.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8 to the
contrary, if, in connection with an underwritten public offering, the Company,
the Investors and the underwriters enter into an underwriting or purchase
agreement relating to such offering which contains provisions covering
indemnification among the parties, then the indemnification provision of this
Section 8 shall be deemed inoperative for purposes of such offering.
9. REPORTS UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT. With a view to making available to
the Investors the use of Section 2 hereof and the benefits of Rule 144 and any
other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to
sell the Shares to the public without registration, the Company agrees: (i) to
make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and
defined in the General Instructions to Form S-3, or any successor or substitute
form, and in Rule 144, (ii) to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports
and other documents required to be filed by an issuer of securities registered

statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of
Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and to furnish to such
Investor a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company,
and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company as may be
reasonably requested in availing such Investor of any rule or regulation of the
SEC permitting the selling of any such Shares without registration and (iv)
undertake any additional actions reasonably necessary to maintain the
availability of a registration statement on Form S-3, including any successor or
substitute forms, or the use of Rule 144.
10. TRANSFER OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. None of the rights of any Investor
under this Agreement shall be transferred or assigned to any person unless (i)
such person is a Qualifying Investor (as defined below), and (ii) such person
agrees to become a party to, and bound by, all of the terms and conditions of,

order to cause the Merger to be effected in accordance with the laws of the
State of Delaware. The Merger will be effective upon the filing of the Merger
Certificate (the "Effective Time"). For all purposes, all of the document
deliveries and other actions to occur at the Closing will be conclusively
presumed to have occurred at the same time, immediately before the Effective
Time.
3. EFFECT OF MERGER. At the Effective Time, automatically and without
further action:
3.1. SURVIVING CORPORATION. Merger Sub will be merged with and into the
Company and the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease. The Company will
continue in existence as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the "Surviving
Corporation"). The effect of the Merger will be as provided in the applicable
provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"). Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, except as
otherwise provided herein, all of the property, rights, privileges, powers, and
franchises of Merger Sub and the Company, respectively, will vest in the
Surviving Corporation, and all of the debts, liabilities, and duties of Merger
Sub and the Company, respectively, will become the debts, liabilities, and
duties of the Surviving Corporation.
3.2 CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION. The Certificate of Incorporation of
the Surviving Corporation shall be the same as the Certificate of Incorporation
of the Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that the name
of the corporation set forth therein shall be changed to the name of the
Company.
3.3 BY-LAWS. The by-laws of the Surviving Corporation shall be the same
as the by-laws of the Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, except
that the name of the corporation set forth therein shall be changed to the name
of the Company.
3.4. DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. From and after the Effective Time, the
respective officers and members of the Board of Directors of the Surviving
Corporation will consist of those persons named as such in the Merger
Certificate, each such person to hold office, subject to the applicable
provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and the by-laws of the Surviving
Corporation, until the next annual meeting of directors or stockholders, as the
case may be, of the Surviving Corporation and until his or her successor is duly
elected or appointed and qualified.
<PAGE>
-10-
3.5. CONVERSION OF MERGER SUB'S SHARES. Each share of the common stock,
par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub that was issued and outstanding
immediately before the Effective Time will be converted into and become one
share of the common stock, par value $ 0.01 per share, of the Surviving
Corporation.
3.6. CANCELLATION OF COMPANY STOCK; DISSENTING SHARES.
(a) CANCELLATION OF COMPANY STOCK. At the Effective Time, each
share of Company Stock issued and outstanding immediately before the
Effective Time (other than any Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section
3.6(c) below) and other than any shares of Company Stock held directly
or indirectly by the Company) will be cancelled and, subject to the
provisions of Sections 3.6(c), 4.3 and 4.6 hereof, each Stockholder
shall have the right to receive, in lieu of all shares of Company Stock
held by such Stockholder that will be so cancelled, (i) that number of
shares of LeukoSite Stock representing the percentage of the Aggregate
Base Consideration Shares to which such Stockholder may be entitled, if
any, in accordance with the provisions of SCHEDULE A hereto, (ii) that
number of shares of LeukoSite Stock representing the percentage of the
Aggregate Subsequent Consideration Shares to which such Stockholder may
be entitled, if any, in accordance with the provisions of SCHEDULE A
hereto (it being understood that any such right of such Stockholder to
receive such number of shares of LeukoSite Stock is a contingent right
that is dependent, among other things, on whether LeukoSite is required
to issue any Aggregate Subsequent Consideration Shares pursuant to
Section 3.8(a) hereof), (iii) that number of shares of LeukoSite Stock
representing the percentage of the Milestone Shares to which such
Stockholder may be entitled, if any, in accordance with the provisions
of SCHEDULE A hereto (it being understood that any such right of such
Stockholder to receive such number of shares of LeukoSite Stock is a
contingent right that is dependent, among other things, on whether
LeukoSite is required to issue any Milestone Shares pursuant to Section
3.8(c) hereof), and (iv) cash payments each equal to the percentage of
any Aggregate Contingent Consideration Payment to which such
Stockholder may be entitled, if any, in accordance with the provisions
of SCHEDULE A hereto (it being understood that any such right of such
Stockholder to receive any such cash payment is a contingent right that
is dependent, among other things, on whether LeukoSite is required to
pay any Aggregate Contingent Consideration Payment pursuant to Sections
3.8(b), 3.8(c), 3.8(d), 3.8(e) or 3.8(f) hereof). Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 3.6(a) or in SCHEDULE A hereto to the
contrary, no fractional shares of LeukoSite Stock shall be issued in
connection with the Merger, but cash payments shall be made in lieu of
such fractional shares pursuant to, and in accordance with, the
provisions of Section 4.6 hereof.
<PAGE>
-11-
(b) CANCELLATION OF TREASURY STOCK, ETC. At the Effective
Time, each share of Company Stock held directly or indirectly by the
Company will be canceled and will cease to exist, and no payment will
be made with respect thereto.
(c) DISSENTING SHARES. Each share of Company Stock that,
immediately before the Effective Time, was held by any person who has
duly exercised the appraisal rights afforded to dissenting stockholders
pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (such shares, collectively,
"Dissenting Shares") will not entitle the holder thereof to receive the
consideration referred to in Section 3.6(a) hereof. Instead, the
holders of Dissenting Shares will be entitled to receive payment of the
appraised value of such shares in accordance with the provisions of
such Section 262, except that all Dissenting Shares held by
Stockholders who withdraw, fail to perfect, or otherwise lose their
appraisal rights with respect to Dissenting Shares will thereupon be
deemed to entitle the holder thereof to receive the consideration
referred to in Section 3.6(a) hereof. In the event that any Stockholder
exercises his, her or its appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of
the DGCL and LeukoSite makes any payment to such Stockholder in respect
of his, her or its Dissenting Shares (regardless of whether such
payment represents the appraised value of such Dissenting Shares as
determined pursuant to a judicial proceeding or represents amounts paid
by LeukoSite in settlement of such appraisal rights with the written
consent of the Stockholders' Representatives), then LeukoSite shall be
entitled to reduce the aggregate amount of consideration payable to the
Stockholders pursuant to and in connection with the Merger by an amount
equal to the sum of any such payment made by LeukoSite to such
Stockholder in respect of his, her or its Dissenting Shares PLUS the
aggregate amount of reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by
LeukoSite in connection with any judicial proceeding or settlement
discussions or negotiations resulting from the exercise of appraisal
rights by such Stockholder, and such Stockholder's share of the Merger
Consideration on SCHEDULE A shall be allocated pro rata among the other
Stockholders in the respective tranche. Any such reduction in the
aggregate amount of consideration payable by LeukoSite to the
Stockholders shall be accomplished by LeukoSite making a claim against
the Escrowed Securities pursuant to, and in accordance with, the
provisions of the Escrow Agreement and/or by LeukoSite exercising its
set-off rights pursuant to Section 14.5(b) hereof against any future
payment owed by LeukoSite to the Stockholders in connection with the
Merger. LeukoSite shall not settle any claims for appraisal rights with
respect to Dissenting Shares without the consent of the Stockholders'
Representatives, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.

3.7. AGGREGATE BASE CONSIDERATION.
(a) UNAUDITED SIGNING BALANCE SHEET. Section 3.7(a) of the
Disclosure Schedule sets forth the unaudited balance sheet of the
Company as of the date hereof (the "Unaudited Signing Balance Sheet")
and a calculation of the Net Cash Balance as of the date hereof (the
"Unaudited Signing Net Cash Balance"), together with a certificate
signed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company certifying (i)
that the Unaudited Signing Balance Sheet was prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied,
except for the absence of footnotes and subject to adjustments
consisting of normal year-end accruals, the effect of which, both
individually and in the aggregate, is not material, (ii) that the
Unaudited Signing Balance Sheet fairly and accurately presents the
financial condition of the Company as of the date hereof, and (iii) as
to the calculation of the Unaudited Signing Net Cash Balance. The
Unaudited Signing Balance Sheet shall have been prepared in
consultation with LeukoSite and LeukoSite's representatives after
LeukoSite and LeukoSite's representatives have had access (consistent
with the provisions reflected in Section 10.1) to financial information
and personnel relevant to the preparation of the Unaudited Signing
Balance Sheet. The parties shall use their good faith efforts to
resolve any disagreements between them concerning the Unaudited Signing
Balance Sheet.
(b) UNAUDITED CLOSING BALANCE SHEET. On the Closing Date, the
Company shall deliver to LeukoSite an unaudited balance sheet of the
Company as of the Closing Date (the "Unaudited Closing Balance Sheet")
and a calculation of the Unaudited Closing Net Cash Balance, together
with a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company
certifying (i) that the Unaudited Closing Balance Sheet was prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently
applied, except for the absence of footnotes and subject to adjustments
consisting of normal year-end accruals, the effect of which, both
individually and in the aggregate, is not material, (ii) that the
Unaudited Closing Balance Sheet fairly and accurately presents the
financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, and (iii) as
to the calculation of the Unaudited Closing Net Cash Balance. The
Unaudited Closing Balance Sheet shall have been prepared in
consultation with LeukoSite and LeukoSite's representatives after
LeukoSite and LeukoSite's representatives have had access (consistent
with the provisions reflected in Section 10.1) to financial information
and personnel relevant to the preparation of the Unaudited Closing
Balance Sheet. The parties shall use their good faith efforts to
resolve any
<PAGE>
-13-
disagreements between them concerning the Unaudited Closing Balance
Sheet.
(c) AGGREGATE BASE CONSIDERATION SHARES. The aggregate number
of shares of LeukoSite Stock that LeukoSite shall issue at the
Effective Time to the Stockholders (other than holders of Dissenting
Shares), in accordance with their respective interests as determined
pursuant to Section 3.6(a), pursuant to the Merger (the "Aggregate Base
Consideration Shares") shall be equal to the quotient obtained by
dividing (i) the product of 1.25 and the Unaudited Closing Net Cash
Balance by (ii) $11.88 (such amount to be proportionately adjusted to
reflect stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits, and other
recapitalizations, reorganizations, and similar events affecting
LeukoSite Common Stock and occurring after the date of this Agreement
but prior to the Effective Time).
(d) AUDITED BALANCE SHEETS. LeukoSite shall have the right,
exercisable at any time during the period commencing on the Closing
Date and ending with the completion of LeukoSite's first audit after
the Closing Date, to have an independent certified public accounting
firm of national reputation prepare an audited balance sheet of the
Company as of the date hereof (the "Audited Signing Balance Sheet"), an
audited balance sheet as of the Closing Date (the "Audited Closing
Balance Sheet"), an audited calculation of the Net Cash Balance as of
the date hereof (the "Audited Signing Net Cash Balance") and an audited
calculation of the Unaudited Closing Net Cash Balance (the "Audited
Closing Net Cash Balance"). The Audited Signing Balance Sheet and the
Audited Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and
shall fairly and accurately present the financial condition of the
Company as of the respective dates thereof. In the event that the
Audited Closing Net Cash Balance will be the basis for an adjustment in
the number of Aggregate Base Consideration Shares pursuant to Section
3.7(e), then a copy of the Audited Signing Balance Sheet, the Audited
Closing Balance Sheet, the Audited Signing Net Cash Balance and the
Audited Closing Net Cash Balance shall be made available to the
Stockholders' Representatives.
(e) ADJUSTMENT TO AGGREGATE BASE CONSIDERATION SHARES. In the
event that the Unaudited Closing Net Cash Balance exceeds the Audited
Closing Net Cash Balance, then the number of Aggregate Base
Consideration Shares shall be reduced by a number of shares of
LeukoSite Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the
product of 1.25 and the amount by which the Unaudited Closing Net Cash
Balance exceeds the Audited Closing Net Cash Balance by (ii) $11.88
(such amount to be proportionately adjusted to reflect stock splits,
stock dividends, reverse
<PAGE>
-14-
stock splits, and other recapitalizations, reorganizations, and similar
events affecting LeukoSite Common Stock and occurring after the date of
this Agreement). In the event that the Audited Closing Net Cash Balance
exceeds the Unaudited Closing Net Cash Balance, then the number of
Aggregate Base Consideration Shares shall be increased by a number of
shares of LeukoSite Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing
(i) the product of 1.25 and the amount by which the Audited Closing Net
Cash Balance exceeds the Unaudited Closing Net Cash Balance by (ii)
$11.88 (such amount to be proportionately adjusted to reflect stock
splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits, and other
recapitalizations, reorganizations, and similar events affecting
LeukoSite Common Stock and occurring after the date of this Agreement).
If the number of Aggregate Base Consideration Shares increases as a
result of any adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.7(e), the increased
number of shares shall be allocated among the Stockholders (other than
holders of Dissenting Shares) in accordance with their respective
interests as provided on SCHEDULE A, and LeukoSite shall deliver (A) to
the Escrow Agent, to be held in escrow pursuant to the provisions of
Section 4.3 hereof and the Escrow Agreement, a stock certificate
registered in the name of each Stockholder that is entitled to a
portion of such increased number of shares, which stock certificate
shall represent twenty percent (20%) of the portion of such increased
number of shares that is allocated to such Stockholder, and (B) to each
Stockholder a stock certificate, registered in the name of such
Stockholder, representing the balance of the portion of such increased
number of shares allocated to such Stockholder. If the number of
Aggregate Base Consideration Shares is reduced as a result of any
adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.7(e), the correct number of
shares for each Stockholder shall be recalculated by allocating such
smaller number of Aggregate Base Consideration Shares among the
Stockholders (other than holders of Dissenting Shares) in accordance
with their respective interests as determined pursuant to Section
3.6(a), and LeukoSite shall have the right to recover any excess number
of shares of LeukoSite Stock previously issued by LeukoSite to the
Stockholders in connection with the Merger by, at LeukoSite's option,
(i) making a claim against the Escrowed Securities pursuant to, and in
accordance with, the provisions of the Escrow Agreement, and/or (ii)
exercising its set-off rights pursuant to Section 14.5(b) hereof
against any future payment owed by LeukoSite to the Stockholders in
connection with the Merger.

3.8. AGGREGATE SUBSEQUENT CONSIDERATION.
(a) AGGREGATE SUBSEQUENT CONSIDERATION SHARES. In the event
that LeukoSite or the Surviving Corporation shall receive payment from
UCB pursuant to Section 4.2(b) of the UCB Agreement (the "Subsequent
UCB Payment") of up to $6,000,000, LeukoSite will issue to the
Stockholders, at the time specified below in this Section 3.8(a), an
additional number of shares of LeukoSite Stock (the "Aggregate
Subsequent Consideration Shares") equal to the quotient obtained by
dividing (i) the product of 1.25 and the amount of the Subsequent UCB
Payment actually received by LeukoSite or the Surviving Corporation
(less any adjustment for taxes pursuant to Section 3.8(h)) by (ii)
$11.88 (such amount to be proportionately adjusted to reflect stock
splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits, and other
recapitalizations, reorganizations, and similar events affecting
LeukoSite Common Stock and occurring after the date of this Agreement
but prior to the issuance of the Aggregate Subsequent Consideration
Shares pursuant to this Section 3.8(a)). The Aggregate Subsequent
Consideration Shares shall be allocated among the Stockholders (other
than those who are holders of Dissenting Shares who shall not be
entitled to receive any portion of the Aggregate Subsequent
Consideration Shares) in accordance with their respective interests as
determined pursuant to Section 3.6(a). Within thirty (30) days after
receiving the Subsequent UCB Payment, LeukoSite shall cause its
transfer agent to issue to each Stockholder a stock certificate or
stock certificates representing the portion, if any, of the Aggregate
Subsequent Consideration Shares to which such Stockholder is entitled.
(b) CONTINGENT THIRD PARTY PAYMENTS. In the event that,
subsequent to the date hereof, LeukoSite or the Surviving Corporation
shall receive any payment (a "Contingent Third Party Payment") under
(i) Sections 4.2(c), (d) or (e) of the UCB Agreement, which Sections
provide, in the aggregate, for up to $6,000,000 in milestone payments
to the Company, or (ii) Section 4.1 of the License Agreement between
the Company and Stiefel Laboratories, Inc. ("Stiefel"), which Section
provides for a license fee of $1,000,000 payable to the Company upon
execution of the License Agreement by Stiefel, then, subject to the
provisions of Section 3.8(e), LeukoSite shall, within thirty (30) days
of the receipt of any such Contingent Third Party Payment, make payment
of such Contingent Third Party Payment (less any adjustment for taxes
pursuant to Section 3.8(h)) to the Stockholders (other than holders of
Dissenting Shares) in accordance with their respective interests as
determined pursuant to Section 3.6(a).
<PAGE>

(c) LEUKOSITE CONTINGENT MILESTONE PAYMENTS. If a CytoMed
Program conducted internally by LeukoSite, its Affiliates or its
sublicensees (other than a Partner pursuant to Section 3.8(d)) as a
Drug Development Program yields a Product Candidate which achieves the
drug development milestones set forth in the table below (whether such
milestones are achieved by LeukoSite, its Affiliates or its
sublicensees (other than a Partner pursuant to Section 3.8(d)), then,
subject to the provisions of Section 3.8(e), LeukoSite shall make
payment and/or delivery to the Stockholders (other than holders of
Dissenting Shares), in accordance with their respective interests as
determined pursuant to Section 3.6(a), of the consideration set forth
in the table below (a "LeukoSite Contingent Milestone Payment") within
sixty (60) days of the occurrence of the drug development milestones
set forth in the table below; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, except as
provided below, LeukoSite shall be obligated to pay consideration for
each drug development milestone only once, regardless of how many
Product Candidates achieve such drug development milestone and
regardless of where in the world such drug development milestone is
achieved. If (a) LeukoSite reasonably determines that (i) a third party
patent covers the manufacture, use or sale of a Product Candidate (a
"Blocking Third Party Patent") or (ii) a patented or proprietary
complementary technology owned by a third party is necessary for
LeukoSite's clinical development of a Product Candidate (a
"Complementary Technology"), and (b) LeukoSite in-licenses such
Blocking Third Party Patent or Complementary Technology pursuant to
terms requiring LeukoSite to make milestone payments to such third
party upon the achievement of any drug development milestones, then
fifty percent (50%) of the amount of any milestone payment that
LeukoSite is required to pay in connection with such in-licensed
Blocking Third Party Patent or Complementary Technology shall be offset
against the milestone payments that LeukoSite is required to pay
pursuant to this Section 3.8(c) with respect to such Product Candidate,
PROVIDED THAT the aggregate amount of all such offsets with respect to
any of such milestone payments shall in no event exceed fifty percent
(50%) of any of such milestone payments. In the event that there has
been an offset against a milestone payment pursuant to the preceding
sentence, the balance of the scheduled milestone payment not paid as a
result of such offset shall remain payable if and when a subsequent
Product Candidate achieves the applicable drug development milestone
(subject to the offset provided for in the preceding sentence).

(d) CONTINGENT PARTNER LICENSING PAYMENTS. If LeukoSite
determines, in its sole discretion, to license, transfer or sell a
Product Candidate to a third party which is not an Affiliate of
LeukoSite (a "Partner") for use in the treatment of asthma, skin,
opthalmic or gastro-intestinal disease or complement mediated
inflammation in cardiovascular disease or organ transplantation, and
such Product Candidate was being developed by the Company to treat such
medical indications, then, subject to the provisions of Section 3.8(e),
LeukoSite shall make payment to the Stockholders (other than holders of
Dissenting Shares), in accordance with their respective interests as
determined pursuant to Section 3.6(a), of an amount equal to
twenty-five percent (25%) of the license fees, milestone payments or
royalties received by LeukoSite from the Partner in respect of such
Product Candidate (a "Contingent Partner Licensing Payment"). Any
payment that LeukoSite is required to make pursuant to this Section
3.8(d) shall be made within thirty (30) days following LeukoSite's
receipt of consideration from the Partner. Consideration received by
LeukoSite from a Partner that is not
<PAGE>
-18-
in the form of cash shall be valued by LeukoSite's Board of Directors
in good faith as of the date of receipt of such consideration by
LeukoSite.
(e) ROYALTY PAYMENTS TO DR. SHEN. Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Section 3.8)
expressed or implied to the contrary, LeukoSite shall reduce the Merger
Consideration required to be paid or delivered to the Stockholders
pursuant to this Agreement relating to a Contingent Third Party Payment
or any Product Candidate included in a CytoMed Program by any amounts
which LeukoSite or the Surviving Corporation are obligated or become
obligated to pay to T.Y. Shen under the Shen Consulting Agreement in
respect of any Contingent Third Party Payment or any Product Candidate
included in a CytoMed Program.
(f) MAXIMUM PAYMENT. Notwithstanding anything in this Section
3.8 expressed or implied to the contrary, (A) in no event shall the
cumulative aggregate amount or value of consideration that LeukoSite
shall be required to provide to the Stockholders (other than holders of
Dissenting Shares) pursuant to Sections 3.8(c) and/or 3.8(d) (after
giving effect to any and all reductions to such consideration that may
be required pursuant to Section 3.8(e) above) exceed the sum of
$16,500,000 plus the Milestone Shares; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such
cumulative aggregate amount or value of consideration shall be
$17,500,000 in the event that no Milestone Shares have been issued at
the time such cumulative aggregate amount or value of consideration
exceeds $16,500,000, (B) in no event shall LeukoSite issue Milestone
Shares to the Stockholders if such cumulative aggregate amount or value
of consideration has already exceeded $16,500,000 prior to the issuance
of any Milestone Shares and (C) in no event shall LeukoSite issue
Milestone Shares to the Stockholders if and to the extent that (i) the
number of such Milestone Shares is subject to reduction pursuant to
Section 3.8(e) above or (ii) the Fair Market Value (as defined on
SCHEDULE A) of such Milestone Shares on the date of their issuance
(after giving effect to any and all reductions to the number of such
Milestone Shares that may be required pursuant to Section 3.8(e) above)
exceeds $4,000,000. Consideration from a Partner that is not in the
form of cash shall be valued by LeukoSite's Board of Directors in good
faith as of the date of receipt of such consideration by LeukoSite.
(g) CYTOMED PROGRAMS. LeukoSite represents and warrants that,
as of the date of this Agreement and based upon the information
available to it as of such date, it intends to continue the development
and commercialization of Product Candidates included in the CytoMed
Programs. However, it is agreed by the Company and LeukoSite that, from
and after the date hereof, the CytoMed Programs shall be evaluated by
LeukoSite in the context of the overall research and development
<PAGE>
-19-
programs undertaken from time to time by LeukoSite (the "LeukoSite R&D
Programs"). In making determinations concerning whether, when and/or in
what manner to develop, market or commercialize any Product Candidate
or any other compound included in any CytoMed Program from and after
the date hereof, LeukoSite shall use the same criteria that it applies
in making such or similar evaluations and determinations concerning the
LeukoSite R&D Programs. Specifically, and without limiting the
generality of the foregoing sentence, LeukoSite shall take into account
its available financial resources and personnel, LeukoSite's
commitments and obligations to its corporate partners, the ease of, and
the timeframe for, obtaining regulatory approval, the potential
therapeutic benefits of the drug candidate, the level of competition in
the marketplace for the drug candidate, the relative costs of
pre-clinical and clinical development of any Product Candidate or any
compound in a CytoMed Program as compared with LeukoSite's other drug
development candidates, the results and data obtained in any
pre-clinical or clinical trials, and the relative potential economic
returns to LeukoSite from the development, sale, marketing or other
commercialization of any Product Candidate or any compound in a CytoMed
Program as compared to any of LeukoSite's other drug development
candidates. After making a thorough evaluation utilizing the criteria
described above, LeukoSite may continue, modify, postpone or terminate
any CytoMed Program or the development and commercialization of any
Product Candidate. The Stockholders' Representatives shall have the
right to obtain information about the status of the CytoMed Programs
pursuant to Section 9.15 hereof.
(h) REDUCTION FOR ADDITIONAL TAX LIABILITY. To the extent that
any of the payments to be received by LeukoSite pursuant to Sections
3.8(a) or (b) will result (i) in an additional ultimate Tax liability
(other than an "alternative minimum tax" Tax liability) of LeukoSite
despite reasonable tax planning by LeukoSite which shall include
without limitation maximizing the benefits of filing consolidated
returns, preserving and maximizing the prompt use of any available net
operating loss and credit carryforwards of the Company, and maximizing
the tax benefits available to LeukoSite by virtue of paying tax on and
making payments with respect to the Subsequent UCB Payment or the
Contingent Third Party Payments, or (ii) in "alternative minimum tax"
Tax liability of LeukoSite, LeukoSite shall be entitled to retain the
amount of the Subsequent UCB Payment and the Contingent Third Party
Payments necessary to pay such Tax liability and shall reduce on a
dollar for dollar basis (i) in the case of Section 3.8(a), the amount
of Subsequent UCB Payment used to determine the number of Aggregate
Subsequent Consideration Shares issued to the Stockholders or (ii) in
the case of Section 3.8(b), the Contingent Third Party Payments paid to
the Stockholders.

4. PROCEDURES; ESCROWED SECURITIES.
4.1. CERTIFICATES. After the Effective Time, stock certificates (each,
a "Certificate," and collectively, the "Certificates") representing shares of
Company Stock that, pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.6(a) above, entitle
the holder thereof to receive therefor shares of LeukoSite Stock or other Merger
Consideration pursuant to the Merger, will be conclusively deemed to represent
the right to receive such shares of LeukoSite Stock or other Merger
Consideration.
4.2. EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES. As promptly as practicable after the
Effective Time, LeukoSite or its transfer agent for LeukoSite Stock will send to
each Stockholder transmittal materials for use in exchanging their Certificates
for certificates for the shares of LeukoSite Stock or such other Merger
Consideration to which such Stockholder may be entitled as determined in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Upon surrender of a
Certificate to LeukoSite or its transfer agent, as the case may be, together
with a duly executed letter of transmittal and any other reasonably required
documents, the holder of such Certificate will be entitled to receive (subject
to the escrow arrangements referred to in Section 4.3), in exchange for such
Certificate, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of LeukoSite
Stock or such other Merger Consideration to which such holder may be entitled
(as determined in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement), and such
Certificate will be canceled.
4.3. ESCROWED SECURITIES. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, at the Closing, LeukoSite, the Stockholders'
Representatives and the Escrow Agent will execute and deliver an Escrow
Agreement in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT C (the "Escrow Agreement"),
pursuant to which LeukoSite shall deliver to the Escrow Agent stock certificates
representing twenty percent (20%) of the Aggregate Base Consideration Shares to
be issued to the Stockholders (the "Escrowed Securities"), to be held in escrow
pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement until either (i) December 31,
1999, if but only if on or prior to December 31, 1999 there has not been a Claim
against the Escrowed Securities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the
Escrow Agreement or any exercise by LeukoSite of its right of set-off pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) the second anniversary of the Closing
Date, if on or prior to December 31, 1999 there has been a Claim against the
Escrowed Securities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow
Agreement or any exercise by LeukoSite of its right of set-off pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.3 to the
contrary, a claim for an adjustment in the Aggregate Base Consideration Shares
pursuant to Section 3.7(e) that is made on or prior to December 31, 1999 shall
not be taken into account in determining whether the Escrowed Securitites
<PAGE>
-21-
should be held in escrow under the Escrow Agreement beyond December 31, 1999.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement expressed or implied to the contrary,
any Merger Conversion Shares issued upon conversion of shares of LeukoSite
Series A Preferred Stock held in escrow pursuant to this Agreement (including,
without limitation, this Section 4.3) or the Escrow Agreement shall also be held
in escrow pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, this Section 4.3) and the Escrow Agreement to
the same extent and on the same basis as such shares of LeukoSite Series A
Preferred Stock, and any reference in this Agreement to the term "ESCROWED
SECURITIES" shall be deemed to include any and all of such Merger Conversion
Shares.
4.4. DISTRIBUTIONS. No dividend or other distribution payable after the
Effective Time with respect to LeukoSite Stock will be paid to the holder of any
unsurrendered Certificate until the holder thereof surrenders such Certificate,
at which time such holder will receive all dividends and distributions, without
interest thereon, previously payable but withheld from such holder pursuant
hereto.
4.5. NO TRANSFERS. After the Effective Time, no transfers of shares of
Company Stock will be made in the stock transfer books of the Company. If, after
the Effective Time, Certificates are presented (for transfer or otherwise) to
the Surviving Corporation or its transfer agent for Company Stock, they will be
canceled and exchanged for the shares of LeukoSite Stock or other Merger
Consideration deliverable in respect thereof as determined in accordance with
this Agreement (or returned to the presenting person, if such Certificate
represents Dissenting Shares).
4.6. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES. In lieu of the issuance of fractional shares
of LeukoSite Stock, cash adjustments will be paid (without interest) to the
Stockholders in respect of any fractional share of LeukoSite Stock that would
otherwise be issuable to them and the amount of such cash adjustments will be
determined by multiplying each relevant holder's fractional interest by $11.88
(such amount to be proportionately adjusted to reflect stock splits, stock
dividends, reverse stock splits, and other recapitalizations, reorganizations,
and similar events affecting LeukoSite Common Stock and occurring after the date
of this Agreement). For purposes of determining whether, and in what amounts, a
particular Stockholder would be entitled to receive cash adjustments under this
section, shares held of record by such holder and represented by two or more
Certificates will be aggregated.
4.7. TERMINATION OF RIGHTS. After the Effective Time, holders of
Company Stock will cease to be, and will have no rights as, stockholders of the
Company, other than (i) in the case of shares other than Dissenting Shares, the
rights to receive the Merger Consideration and/or payments made in lieu of
<PAGE>
-22-
fractional shares, as provided in this Agreement, and (ii) in the case of
Dissenting Shares, the rights afforded to the holders thereof under Section 262
of the DGCL.
4.8. ABANDONED PROPERTY. Neither LeukoSite nor the Company nor any
other person will be liable to any holder or former holder of shares of Company
Stock for any shares, or any dividends or other distributions with respect
thereto, properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable
abandoned property, escheat, or similar laws.
4.9. LOST CERTIFICATES, ETC. In the event that any Certificate has been
lost, stolen, or destroyed, then upon receipt of appropriate evidence as to such
loss, theft, or destruction, and to the ownership of such Certificate by the
person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen, or destroyed, and the
receipt by LeukoSite or its transfer agent for LeukoSite Stock of appropriate
and customary indemnification, LeukoSite or such transfer agent will issue in
exchange for such lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate the shares of LeukoSite
Stock and the fractional share payment, if any, deliverable in respect thereof
as determined in accordance with this Agreement.

pursuant to Section 14 below or for which LeukoSite shall have the
right to proceed against the Escrowed Securities pursuant to this
Agreement and the Escrow Agreement or the right of set-off pursuant to

(e) By virtue of the adoption of this Agreement and the
approval of the Merger by the Stockholders at a meeting of Stockholders
(or by written consent in lieu of a meeting) pursuant to, and in
accordance with, the applicable provisions of the DGCL, each
Stockholder (regardless of whether or not such Stockholder votes in
favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger
at such meeting or by written consent) that is not a holder of
Dissenting Shares hereby agrees that:
(i) LeukoSite shall be able to rely conclusively on

Representatives as to the settlement of any claims for
indemnification by LeukoSite, Merger Sub and/or the Surviving
Corporation pursuant to Section 14 below or for which
LeukoSite shall have the right to make a claim against the

Agreement or the right of set-off pursuant to this Agreement,
or as to any other actions required or permitted to be taken

instruction given by the Stockholders' Representatives, acting
jointly, under this Agreement, except for fraud or willful
breach of this Agreement by the Stockholders' Representatives;

interest and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any rights
or remedies that any Stockholder may have in connection with

Merger Sub and/or the Surviving Corporation brings an action
to enforce the provisions of this Section 4.10; and

4.11. EFFECT OF STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL OF MERGER. Subject to the
provisions of the last sentence of this Section 4.11, the adoption of this
Agreement and the approval of the Merger by the Stockholders at a meeting of
Stockholders (or by written consent in lieu of a meeting) pursuant to, and in
accordance with, the applicable provisions of the DGCL shall be deemed to
constitute approval by each Stockholder individually (regardless of whether or
not such Stockholder votes in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the
approval of the Merger at such meeting or by written consent), to the same
extent as if such Stockholder were a party to this Agreement, of (i) all of the
provisions of this Agreement that pertain to the Stockholders, that impose
<PAGE>
-26-
liabilities, obligations or burdens on the Stockholders (including, without
limitation, the indemnification provisions of Section 14 hereof) or that limit
the rights of the Stockholders (including, without limitation, with respect to
the right of the Stockholders to receive all or any portion of the Merger
Consideration), (ii) the appointment of the Stockholders' Representatives, (iii)
the grant to the Stockholders' Representatives of all of the powers, rights and
privileges contemplated under this Agreement (including, without limitation,
Section 4.10 hereof), (iv) the provisions of this Agreement concerning the
replacement and substitution of either of the Stockholders' Representatives, (v)
the Escrow Agreement and all of the arrangements relating thereto, including,
without limitation, the placement of the Escrowed Securities in escrow and the
appointment of the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, (vi) the
provisions of this Agreement that authorize LeukoSite to make a claim or proceed
against the Escrowed Securities held in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement,
(vii) the provisions of this Agreement that authorize LeukoSite to exercise any
right of set-off (including, without limitation, the provisions of Section
14.5(b) hereof) and (viii) any and all provisions of this Agreement that
contemplate, authorize or provide for any increase, reduction or other
adjustment in the Merger Consideration payable to the Stockholders pursuant to
the Merger (including, without limitation, any provisions of this Agreement that
specify or provide a procedure for determining or implementing any such
increase, reduction or other adjustment in the Merger Consideration).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 4.11 shall not
apply to those Stockholders that duly exercise the appraisal rights afforded to
dissenting stockholders pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL.
5. STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company
and its Board of Directors shall (i) take all actions necessary to effect the
exercise and/or termination of each option to purchase Company Stock ("Company
Options"), whether issued under one of the Company's option plans or otherwise,
and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each holder of a warrant
to purchase Company Stock outstanding at any time prior to the Effective Time
(the "Company Warrants") to exercise or agree to the termination of the warrant
in full prior to the Effective Time. LeukoSite will not assume any Company
Option not exercised prior to the Effective Time.
6. REGISTRATION AND LOCK-UP OF LEUKOSITE COMMON STOCK.
6.1 REGISTRATION OF SHARES.
(a) LeukoSite shall file with the SEC, on or before the 60th
day following the Closing Date, a registration statement on Form S-3
(or on Form S-1 if LeukoSite does not qualify for Form S-3) covering
the resale to the public by the Stockholders who hold or may hold
Merger Common Shares (the "Registering Stockholders"), of the Merger
Common Shares
<PAGE>
-27-
(the "Stockholder Registration Statement"). LeukoSite shall use its
best efforts to cause the Stockholder Registration Statement to be
declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable following the
filing thereof and to remain effective until the second anniversary of
the Closing Date or such earlier time as all of the Merger Common
Shares covered by the Stockholder Registration Statement have been sold
pursuant thereto (the "Effective Period"). Thereafter LeukoSite shall
be entitled to withdraw the Stockholder Registration Statement and the
Stockholders shall have no further right to offer or sell any of the
Merger Common Shares pursuant to the Stockholders Registration
Statement (or any prospectus pursuant thereto). The shares subject to
the Stockholder Registration Statement shall not be underwritten unless
LeukoSite shall otherwise consent in its sole discretion.
(b) From and after the date hereof and prior to the expiration
of the Effective Period, whenever LeukoSite proposes to file a
registration statement relating to an offering in which LeukoSite
proposes to sell shares of LeukoSite Common Stock for its own account
(other than registration statements on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any
successor form for securities to be offered in a transaction of the
type contemplated by Rule 145 under the Securities Act or to employees
or consultants of LeukoSite pursuant to any employee benefit plan), it
will, prior to such filing, give at least 20 days' written notice to
all Registering Stockholders of its intention to do so (subject to the
limitations set forth in paragraph (d) below) (the "Piggyback Notice")
and, upon the written request of one or more Registering Stockholders
given within ten days after the LeukoSite Piggyback Notice is given
(which request shall state the intended method of disposition of such
Merger Common Shares) (the "Holder Inclusion Notice"), LeukoSite shall
use its best efforts to cause all Merger Common Shares which LeukoSite
has been requested by such Registering Stockholder or Registering
Stockholders to register to be registered under the Securities Act to
the extent necessary to permit their sale or other disposition in
accordance with the intended methods of distribution specified in the
Holder Inclusion Notice; provided, that (i) LeukoSite shall have the
right to postpone or withdraw any registration effected pursuant to
this Section 6.1(b) hereof without obligation to any Registering
Stockholder, (ii) the number of Merger Common Shares proposed to be
sold by any such Registering Stockholder is at least twenty-five
percent (25%) of the total number of Merger Common Shares then held by
such Registering Stockholder.
(c) In connection with any offering under Section 6.1(b)
hereof involving an underwriting, LeukoSite shall not be required to
include any Merger Common Shares in such underwriting unless the
holders thereof accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon
between LeukoSite
<PAGE>
-28-
and the underwriter(s) of such offering. If in the opinion of the
managing underwriter(s) of such offering the registration of all, or
part of, the shares of LeukoSite Common Stock (the "Incidental Shares")
which the Registering Stockholders have requested to be included
pursuant to Section 6.1(b) hereof and/or which other holders of shares
of LeukoSite Common Stock or other securities of LeukoSite entitled to
include shares of LeukoSite Common Stock in such registration have
requested to be included (collectively, the "Qualified Holders") would
materially and adversely affect the success of such public offering or
the price that would be received for any shares of LeukoSite Common
Stock offered in the offering, then, notwithstanding anything in this
Section 6 to the contrary, LeukoSite shall be required to include in
the underwriting only that number of such shares, if any, which the
managing underwriter(s) believe(s) may be sold without causing such
adverse effect. If a registration pursuant to this Section 6 hereof
involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter shall
advise LeukoSite in writing that, in its opinion, the number of shares
of LeukoSite Common Stock requested by the Qualified Holders to be
included in such registration is likely to affect materially and
adversely the success of the public offering or the price that would be
received for any shares of LeukoSite Common Stock offered in such
offering, then, notwithstanding anything in this Section 6 to the
contrary, LeukoSite shall only be required to include in such
registration to the extent of the number of shares of LeukoSite Common
Stock which LeukoSite is so advised can be sold in such offering, (i)
first, the number of shares of LeukoSite Common Stock proposed to be
included in such registration for the account of LeukoSite and/or any
stockholders of LeukoSite that have exercised demand registration
rights in accordance with the priorities, if any, then existing among
LeukoSite and/or such stockholders of LeukoSite with demand
registration rights, and (ii) second, the shares of LeukoSite Common
Stock requested to be included in such registration by all other
stockholders of LeukoSite (including, without limitation, the
Registering Stockholders), PRO RATA among such other stockholders
(including, without limitation, the Registering Stockholders) on the
basis of the number of shares of LeukoSite Common Stock that each of
them requested to be included in such registration.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6 to the
contrary, LeukoSite shall not be required to provide any advance notice
to Registering Stockholders in connection with any offering under this
Section 6.1 involving an underwriting if LeukoSite has been informed in
writing that in the opinion of the managing underwriter(s) the
inclusion of any Incidental Shares in such offering would materially
and adversely affect the success of the offering or the price that
would be received for any shares of LeukoSite Common Stock offered in
the offering. In such
<PAGE>
-29-
event, LeukoSite will provide written notice to all Registering
Stockholders containing a copy of such managing underwriter's(s')
opinion, which notice need not be given prior to the filing of the
applicable registration statement.
6.2 LIMITATIONS ON REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6 to the
contrary, if the Company shall furnish to the Registering Stockholders
a certificate signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of
LeukoSite stating that the Board of Directors of LeukoSite has made the
good faith determination (i) that continued use by the Registering
Stockholders of the Stockholder Registration Statement filed by
LeukoSite for purposes of effecting offers or sales of Merger Common
Shares pursuant thereto would require, under the Securities Act and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, premature disclosure in
the registration statement (or the prospectus relating thereto) of
material, nonpublic information concerning LeukoSite, its business or
prospects or any proposed material transaction involving LeukoSite,
(ii) that such premature disclosure would be materially adverse to
LeukoSite, its business or prospects or any such proposed material
transaction or would make the successful consummation by LeukoSite of
any such material transaction significantly less likely and (iii) that
it is therefore essential to suspend the use by the Registering
Stockholders of such Stockholder Registration Statement (and the
prospectus relating thereto) for purposes of effecting offers or sales
of Merger Common Shares pursuant thereto, then the right of the
Registering Stockholders to use such Stockholder Registration Statement
(and the prospectus relating thereto) for purposes of effecting offers
or sales of Merger Common Shares pursuant thereto shall be suspended
for a period (the "Suspension Period") of not more than 90 days after
delivery by the Company of the certificate referred to above in this
Section 6.2(a). During the Suspension Period, none of the Registering
Stockholders shall offer or sell any Merger Common Shares pursuant to
or in reliance upon such Stockholder Registration Statement (or the
prospectus relating thereto). LeukoSite agrees that, as promptly as
practicable after the consummation, abandonment or public disclosure of
the event or transaction that caused LeukoSite to suspend the use of
the Registration Statement (and the prospectus relating thereto)
pursuant to this Section 6.2(a), LeukoSite will provide the Registering
Stockholders with revised prospectuses, if required, and will notify
the Registering Stockholders of their ability to effect offers or sales
of Merger Common Shares pursuant to or in reliance upon such
Stockholder Registration Statement.
<PAGE>
-30-
(b) LeukoSite agrees that no other holder of LeukoSite Stock
seeking to resell shares of LeukoSite Common Stock pursuant to a shelf
registration statement on Form S-3 will be permitted to sell shares of
LeukoSite Common Stock pursuant to such shelf registration statement
during a Suspension Period. LeukoSite shall not be required to disclose
to the Registering Stockholders the reasons for requiring a suspension
of sales hereunder, and the Registering Stockholders shall not disclose
to any third party the existence of any such suspension.
(c) If LeukoSite suspends the Stockholder Registration
Statement or requires the Stockholders to cease sales of shares
pursuant to Section 6.2(a) above, LeukoSite shall, as promptly as
practicable following the termination of the circumstance which
entitled LeukoSite to do so, take such actions as may be necessary to
reinstate the effectiveness of the Stockholder Registration Statement
and/or give written notice to all Registering Stockholders authorizing
them to resume sales pursuant to the Stockholder Registration
Statement. If as a result thereof the prospectus included in the
Stockholder Registration Statement has been amended to comply with the
requirements of the Securities Act, LeukoSite shall enclose such
revised prospectus with a notice to Registering Stockholders given
pursuant to this Section 6.2(c).
6.3 REGISTRATION PROCEDURES.
(a) In connection with the filing by LeukoSite of the
Stockholder Registration Statement, LeukoSite shall furnish to each
Registering Stockholder a copy of the prospectus, including a
preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the
Securities Act. Subject to Section 6.2 hereof, LeukoSite shall prepare
and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the
Stockholder Registration Statement and the prospectus used in
connection with such Stockholder Registration Statement as may be
reasonably necessary to keep such Stockholder Registration Statement
effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with
respect to the disposition of all Merger Common Shares pursuant to such
Stockholder Registration Statement until the earlier of (i) such time
as all such Merger Common Shares have been disposed of, (ii) such time
as such Merger Common Shares are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144
(without being subject to volume limitations), or (iii) the second
anniversary of the Closing Date. LeukoSite shall furnish to each
Registering Stockholder a copy of any amendment or supplement to such
Stockholder Registration Statement or prospectus prior to filing the
same with the SEC, and shall not file any such amendment or supplement
to which any such requesting Registering Stockholder shall reasonably
have objected to in writing prior to the filing thereof on the
<PAGE>
-31-
grounds that such amendment or supplement contains a material
inaccuracy with respect to the description of such Registering
Stockholder.
(b) If LeukoSite has delivered preliminary or final
prospectuses to the Registering Stockholders and after having done so
the prospectus is amended or supplemented to comply with the
requirements of the Securities Act as described in Section 6.3(a)
hereof, LeukoSite shall promptly notify the Registering Stockholders
and, if requested by LeukoSite, the Registering Stockholders shall
immediately cease making offers or sales of shares under the
Stockholder Registration Statement and return all prospectuses to
LeukoSite. LeukoSite shall promptly provide the Registering
Stockholders with revised prospectuses and, following receipt of the
revised prospectuses, the Registering Stockholders shall be free to
resume making offers and sales under the Stockholder Registration
Statement.
(c) LeukoSite shall furnish to each requesting Registering
Stockholder such number of conformed copies of the Stockholder
Registration Statement and of each such amendment and supplement
thereto (in each case including all exhibits thereto), such number of
copies of the prospectus included in such Stockholder Registration
Statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and such number of
documents, if any, incorporated by reference in such Stockholder
Registration Statement or prospectus, as such requesting Registering
Stockholder may reasonably request.
(d) LeukoSite shall use its best efforts to register or
qualify the Merger Common Shares covered by the Stockholder
Registration Statement under the securities or "blue sky" laws of such
states as the Registering Stockholders shall reasonably request;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that LeukoSite shall not be required in connection
with this paragraph (b) to qualify as a foreign corporation or execute
a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction.
(e) LeukoSite shall pay the expenses incurred by it in
complying with its obligations under this Section 6, including all
registration and filing fees, exchange listing fees, fees and expenses
of counsel for LeukoSite, and fees and expenses of accountants for
LeukoSite, but excluding (i) any brokerage fees, selling commissions or
underwriting discounts incurred by the Registering Stockholders in
connection with sales under the Stockholder Registration Statement and
(ii) the fees and expenses of any counsel retained by Registering
Stockholders.
<PAGE>
-32-
6.4 REQUIREMENTS OF COMPANY STOCKHOLDERS. LeukoSite shall not be
required to include any Merger Common Shares in the Stockholder Registration
Statement unless:
(a) the Registering Stockholder owning such shares furnishes
to LeukoSite in writing such information regarding such Registering
Stockholder and the proposed sale of Merger Common Shares by such
Registering Stockholder as LeukoSite may reasonably request in writing
in connection with the Stockholder Registration Statement or as shall
be required in connection therewith by the SEC or any state securities
law authorities;
(b) such Registering Stockholder shall have provided to
LeukoSite its written agreement:
(i) to indemnify LeukoSite and each of its directors
and officers under the circumstances and substantially in the
form set forth in Section 6.5(b) hereof; and
(ii) From the Closing Date to the second anniversary
of the Closing Date, each Registering Stockholder which holds
or owns (at the time of the written request of LeukoSite or
managing underwriter referred to below in this Section 6.4(b)
or at any time during the 90 day period commencing on the
effective date of the registration statement relating to such
underwritten public offering of LeukoSite Common Stock) of
record or beneficially (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder) Merger Common Shares hereby agrees that, at the
written request of LeukoSite or any managing underwriter of
any underwritten public offering of LeukoSite Common Stock,
such Registering Stockholder shall not, without the prior
written consent of LeukoSite or such managing underwriter,
sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the
purchase of, pledge, encumber, or otherwise dispose of, or
exercise any registration rights with respect to, any Merger
Common Shares during the 90 day period commencing on the
effective date of the registration statement relating to such
underwritten public offering of LeukoSite Common Stock;
provided that no Registering Stockholder shall be obligated to
enter into such lock-up agreement described in this Section
6.4(b)(ii) unless all executive officers and directors of

the foregoing covenant, LeukoSite may impose stop transfer
instructions with respect to the Merger Common Shares of each
Registering Stockholder (and the shares or securities of every
other person subject to the foregoing restriction)
<PAGE>
-33-
until the end of such reasonable and customary period, and the
Registering Stockholders agree to enter into a customary
agreement with the underwriters of such offering reflecting
the lock-up agreement set forth herein.
(c) Each Stockholder hereby agrees that, without the prior
written consent of LeukoSite, such Stockholder shall not sell, make any
short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, pledge,

6.5 INDEMNIFICATION. In the event that any Merger Common Shares of the
Registering Stockholders are included in a registration statement pursuant to
this Agreement:
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, LeukoSite will
indemnify and hold harmless each Registering Stockholder, any
underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for LeukoSite, and each
officer, director, fiduciary, employee, member, general partner and
limited partner (and affiliates thereof) of such Registering
Stockholder or such underwriter, each broker or other person acting on
behalf of such Registering Stockholder and each person, if any, who
controls such Registering Stockholder or such underwriter within the
meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under
the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or
are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact contained in such registration statement, including any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any
amendments or supplements thereto, or arise out of or are based upon
the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, or any violation by LeukoSite of the Securities
Act or state securities or blue sky laws applicable to LeukoSite and
leading to action or inaction required of LeukoSite in connection with
such registration or qualification under such Securities Act or state
securities or blue sky laws; and will reimburse on demand such
Registering Stockholder, such underwriter, such broker or other person
acting on behalf of such Registering Stockholder or such officer,
director, fiduciary, employee, member, general partner, limited
partner, affiliate or controlling person for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action, subject to the provisions of Section 6.5(c); PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6.5(a) shall not
apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such
<PAGE>
-34-
loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected
without the consent of LeukoSite (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), nor shall LeukoSite be liable in any such case
for any such loss, damage, liability or action to the extent that it
arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission made in connection with such registration
statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or amendments or
supplements thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished expressly for use in connection with such
registration by the Registering Stockholders, any underwriter for them
or controlling person with respect to them.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Registering
Stockholder will indemnify and hold harmless LeukoSite, each of its
directors, each of its officers who have signed such registration
statement, each person, if any, who controls LeukoSite within the
meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter for LeukoSite (within
the meaning of the Securities Act), and all other Registering
Stockholders against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to
which LeukoSite or any such director, officer, controlling person, or
underwriter may become subject to, under the Securities Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any untrue
or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such
registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto,
or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case
to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission was made in such registration statement,
preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or amendments or supplements
thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished by such Registering Stockholder expressly for use in
connection with such registration; and such Registering Stockholder
will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
LeukoSite or any such director, officer, controlling person,
underwriter or other Registering Stockholder in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action, subject to the provisions of Section 6.5(c), PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that the maximum amount of liability of each Registering Stockholder
hereunder shall be limited to the proceeds (net of underwriting
discounts and commissions, if any) actually received by such
Registering Stockholder from the sale of Merger Common Shares covered
by such registration statement, and PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that
the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6.5(b) shall not
apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or
<PAGE>
-35-
action if such settlement is effected without the consent of those
Registering Stockholder(s) against which the request for indemnity is
being made (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 6.5 of notice of the commencement of any action, such
indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
against any indemnifying party under this Section 6.5, notify the
indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and, to the
extent the indemnifying party desires, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume at its expense the
defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if any indemnified party shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to
such indemnified party which are different from or additional to those
available to the indemnifying party, or that such claim or litigation
involves or could have an effect upon matters beyond the scope of the
indemnity agreement provided in this Section 6.5, the indemnifying
party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on
behalf of such indemnified party, and such indemnifying party shall
reimburse such indemnified party and any person controlling such
indemnified party for the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the
indemnified party which are reasonably related to the matters covered
by the indemnity agreement provided in this Section 6.5. Subject to the
foregoing, an indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof
but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the expense
of the indemnifying party. The failure to notify an indemnifying party
promptly of the commencement of any such action, if materially
prejudicial to his ability to defend such action, shall relieve such
indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this
Section 6.5, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will
not relieve him of any liability which the indemnifying party may have
to any indemnified party otherwise other than under this Section 6.5.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6 to the
contrary, if, in connection with an underwritten public offering,
LeukoSite, the Registering Stockholders and the underwriters enter into
an underwriting or purchase agreement relating to such offering which
contains provisions covering indemnification among the parties, then
the indemnification provision of this Section 6.5 shall be deemed
inoperative for purposes of such offering.
6.6 RULE 144. LeukoSite shall comply with the requirements of Rule
144(c) under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time
<PAGE>
-36-
(or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC), regarding the
availability of current public information to the extent required to enable each
Registering Stockholder to sell Merger Common Shares without registration under
the Securities Act pursuant to the resale provisions of Rule 144 (or any similar
rule or regulation). Upon the request of a Registering Stockholder, LeukoSite
will deliver to such Registering Stockholder a written statement as to whether
it has complied with such requirements and, upon a Registering Stockholder's
compliance with the applicable provisions of Rule 144, will take such action as
may be required (including, without limitation, causing legal counsel to issue
an appropriate opinion) to cause its transfer agent to effectuate any transfer
of Merger Common Shares properly requested by such Registering Stockholder, in
accordance with the terms and conditions of Rule 144.
6.7 SECURITIES LAWS TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS, LEGENDS.
(a) No Stockholder shall sell, assign, pledge, transfer or
otherwise dispose or encumber any of those Merger Shares received by
it, except (i) pursuant to the Stockholder Registration Statement or
other effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii)
pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and, if requested
by LeukoSite, upon delivery by such Stockholder of an opinion of
counsel of such Stockholder reasonably satisfactory to LeukoSite to the
effect that the proposed transfer is exempt from registration under the
Securities Act and applicable state securities law or (iii) pursuant to
the resale provisions of Rule 144 (or any similar rule or regulation).
Any transfer or purported transfer in violation of this Section 6.7(a)
shall be voidable by LeukoSite. LeukoSite shall not be required or
obligated to register any transfer of the Merger Shares in violation of
this Section 6.7(a). LeukoSite may, and may instruct any transfer agent
for LeukoSite Stock, to place such stop transfer orders as may be
required on the transfer books of LeukoSite in order to ensure
compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.7(a).
(b) To the extent applicable, each certificate or other
document evidencing any of the Merger Shares shall be endorsed with the
legend set forth below, and each Stockholder covenants that, except to
the extent such restrictions are waived by LeukoSite, it shall not
transfer the shares represented by any such certificate without
complying with the restrictions on transfer described in this Agreement
and the legends endorsed on such certificate:
"THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED,

7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.
The Company hereby represents and warrants to LeukoSite and Merger Sub
as follows, subject in each case to such exceptions as are specifically
contemplated by this Agreement or as are set forth in the attached Disclosure
Schedule.
7.1. INCORPORATION; AUTHORITY. The Company is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own or lease and
operate its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted. The
Company has delivered to LeukoSite complete and correct copies of its
Certificate of Incorporation and by-laws, in each case with all amendments
thereto, which Certificate of Incorporation and by-laws are in full force and
effect.
7.2. AUTHORIZATION AND ENFORCEABILITY. The Company has all requisite
corporate power to enter into the Agreement and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, subject only to
the approval of the Merger and this Agreement by the Company's stockholders. The
Board of Directors of the Company has (i) approved this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) determined that the Merger is in the best
interests of the stockholders of the Company and is on terms that are fair to
such stockholders, and (iii) recommended that the stockholders to the Company
approve this Agreement and the Merger. This Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by the Company and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the
Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms except (i) as limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of
general application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally and
(ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance,
injunctive relief or other equitable remedies. On or prior to the Closing, the
Escrow Agreement will be duly executed and delivered by the Stockholders'
Representatives, and the Escrow Agreement, when duly executed and delivered by
the Stockholders' Representatives, shall constitute the valid and binding
obligation of the
<PAGE>

Stockholders' Representatives and each Stockholder, enforceable in accordance
with its terms except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting
enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (ii) as limited by laws relating
to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other

bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general
application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (ii) as
limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive
relief or other equitable remedies. The combined voting power of the shares of
Company Stock held by the Designated Preferred Stockholders is such that the
affirmative vote (whether at a meeting of stockholders of the Company or by
written consent in lieu of a meeting) of all shares of Company Stock held by the
Designated Preferred Stockholders in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and
the approval of the Merger would be sufficient to constitute the required
stockholder approval thereof pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, the Company's by-laws and the DGCL.
7.3. GOVERNMENTAL AND OTHER THIRD-PARTY CONSENTS, NON-CONTRAVENTION,
ETC. Except for the filing of the Merger Certificate and except as described in
Section 7.3 of the Disclosure Schedule, no consent, approval, or authorization
of or registration, designation, declaration, or filing with any governmental
authority, federal or other, or any other person, is required on the part of the
Company in connection with the execution, delivery, and performance of this
Agreement or the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated hereby. Except as described in Section 7.3 of the Disclosure
Schedule, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and the
consummation of such transactions will not violate (a) any provision of the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws, (b) any order, judgment,
injunction, award or decree of any court or state or federal governmental or
regulatory body applicable to the Company, or (c) any judgment, decree, order,
statute, rule, regulation, agreement, instrument, or other obligation to which

similar rights of any person. The Company is not aware of any person who has a
valid right to rescind any purchase of any shares of the Company's capital stock
or other securities.

party or by which it is bound to purchase or sell, and other than as set forth
in Section 7.4 of the Disclosure Schedule, no convertible or exchangeable
securities, options, warrants or other rights to acquire from the Company any
shares of its capital stock or other securities. Section 7.4 of the Disclosure
Schedule sets forth the name of each person who holds any option, warrant or
other right to acquire shares of the Company's capital stock, the number and

payable therefor and, in the case of warrants, the priority and amount of
consideration to be payable upon exercise thereof after the Merger.
7.5. QUALIFICATION. The Company is duly qualified and in good standing
as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the character of its
owned or leased properties or the nature of its activities makes such
qualification necessary, except for such failures to be so qualified or in good
standing as would not, either individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.
7.6. SUBSIDIARIES. The Company does not have any Subsidiaries or own
any legal and/or beneficial interests in or to any other business enterprise or
other person.
7.7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

or leasehold title, as the case may be, to all of its assets and properties that
it purports to own or lease, including without limitation all those reflected in
the unaudited balance sheet referred to in clause (ii) of Section 7.7(a) hereof
(except for properties or assets sold, consumed, or otherwise disposed of in the
ordinary course of business since November 30, 1998), all free and clear of
Liens on the Company's interest therein. All such properties and assets are in
good condition and repair, reasonable wear-and-tear excepted, and are, and as of
the Closing Date will be, adequate and sufficient to carry on the business of
the Company as presently conducted. Section 7.9(a) of the Disclosure Schedule
sets forth a complete and correct list of all capital assets of the Company.

received any notice that either the whole or any portion of any real property
leased by it is to be condemned, requisitioned, or otherwise taken by any public
authority or is to be the subject of any public improvements that may result in
special assessments against or otherwise affect such real property. Section
7.9(b) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth a complete and correct description
of all leases of real property to which the Company is a party. Complete and
correct copies of all such leases have been delivered to LeukoSite. Each such
lease is valid and subsisting and no event or condition exists that constitutes,
or after notice or lapse of time or both could constitute, a default thereunder
by the Company, or to the best of its knowledge, any other person. The leasehold
interests of the Company are subject to no Lien, and the Company is in quiet
possession of the properties covered by such leases.
7.10. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
(a) Section 7.10(a) of the Disclosure Schedule lists all inter
partes proceedings or actions known to the Company before any court or
tribunal (including the PTO or equivalent authority anywhere in the
world) related to any Company Intellectual Property. To the best of the
Company's knowledge, no Company Intellectual Property is the subject of
any inter partes proceeding or outstanding decree, order, judgment,
agreement, or stipulation restricting in any manner the use, transfer,
or licensing thereof by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or
which may
<PAGE>
-42-
affect the validity, use or enforceability of such Company Intellectual
Property.
(b) With respect to each item of Company Registered
Intellectual Property, necessary registration, maintenance and renewal
fees in connection with such Company Registered Intellectual Property
have been made and all necessary documents and certificates in
connection with such Company Registered Intellectual Property have been
filed with the relevant patent authorities in the United States for the
purposes of maintaining such Company Registered Intellectual Property
and no information material to patentability under applicable law has
been withheld from the examining office that would constitute fraud or
inequitable conduct.
(c) The Company owns and has good and exclusive title or the
Company exclusively licenses, in each case free and clear of any Lien,
all Company Registered Intellectual Property listed on Section 7.10(c)
of the Disclosure Schedule (for purposes of this Section 7.10(c), joint
ownership with third parties of such Company Registered Intellectual
Property constitutes "good and exclusive title").
(d) To the extent that any work, invention, or material has
been developed or created by a third party for the Company, the Company
and each of its Subsidiaries has a written agreement with such third
party with respect thereto and the Company has obtained ownership of,
and is the exclusive owner of, or has a valid license to use, all
Company Intellectual Property in such work, material or invention by
operation of law or by valid assignment or by agreement, as the case
may be.
(e) Except as set forth on Schedule 7.10(e) of the Disclosure
Schedule, the Company has not transferred ownership of, or granted any
license with respect to, any Company Intellectual Property to any third
party. Section 7.10(e) of the Disclosure Schedule lists all contracts,
licenses and agreements to which the Company is a party that are
currently in effect (i) with respect to Company Intellectual Property
licensed or offered to any third party; or (ii) pursuant to which a
third party has licensed or transferred any Company Intellectual
Property to the Company.
(f) To the best of the Company's knowledge, the contracts,
licenses and agreements listed on Section 7.10(e) of the Disclosure
Schedule are in full force and effect. The consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement will neither violate nor
result in the breach, modification, cancellation, termination, or
suspension of such contracts, licenses and agreements listed on Section
<PAGE>
-43-
7.10(e) of the Disclosure Schedule. The Company is in material
compliance with, and has not materially breached any term any of such
contracts, licenses and agreements listed on Section 7.10(e) of the
Disclosure Schedule and, to the knowledge of the Company, all other
parties to such contracts, licenses and agreements listed on Section
7.10(e) of the Disclosure Schedule are in compliance with, and have not
breached any term of, such contracts, licenses and agreements. To the
best of the Company's knowledge, following the Closing Date, the
Surviving Corporation will be permitted to exercise all of the
Company's rights under the contracts, licenses and agreements listed on
Section 7.10(e) of the Disclosure Schedule to the same extent the
Company would have been able to had the transaction contemplated by
this Agreement not occurred and without the payment of any additional
funds other than ongoing fees, royalties or payments which the Company
would otherwise be required to pay.
(g) To the best of the Company's knowledge, Section 7.10(g) of
the Disclosure Schedule lists all contracts, licenses and agreements
between the Company and any third party wherein or whereby the Company
has agreed to, or assumed, any obligation or duty to warrant,
indemnify, hold harmless or otherwise assume or incur any obligation or
liability with respect to the infringement or misappropriation by the
Company of any third party's Intellectual Property.
(h) The Company (including its executive officer, directors
and, to the best of the Company's knowledge, employees) has not
received notice from any third party that the operation of its business
or any act, product, drug candidate or service of the Company,
infringes or misappropriates the Intellectual Property of any third
party or constitutes unfair competition or trade practices under the
laws of any jurisdiction.
(i) To the best of the Company's knowledge, (i) no Person has
nor is infringing or misappropriating any Company Intellectual Property
and (ii) there have been, and are, no claims asserted against the
Company or against any licensee of the Company with respect to the
Company Intellectual Property.
(j) The Company maintains reasonable security measures for the
preservation of the secrecy and proprietary nature of such of the
Company Intellectual Property as constitute trade secrets or other
confidential information. To the best of the Company's knowledge, no
officer, director, employee, or consultant of the Company is obligated
under or bound by any agreement or instrument, or any judgment, decree,
or order of any court of administrative agency, that (i) conflicts or
may conflict with his agreements and obligations to use his best
efforts to promote the interest
<PAGE>
-44-
of the Company, (ii) conflicts or may conflict with the business or
operations of the Company, or (iii) restricts or may restrict the use
or disclosure of any information that may be useful to the company.
7.11. INDEBTEDNESS. At the date hereof, the Company has no Indebtedness
outstanding except as set forth in Section 7.11 of the Disclosure Schedule. The
Company is not in default with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness or any
agreement, instrument, or other obligation relating thereto and no such
Indebtedness or any agreement, instrument or other obligation relating thereto
purports to limit the issuance of any securities by the Company, or (except as
set forth in Section 7.11 of the Disclosure Schedule) the operation of its
businesses. Complete and correct copies of all agreements, instruments, and
other obligations (including all amendments, supplements, waivers, and consents)
relating to any Indebtedness of the Company have been furnished to LeukoSite.
7.12. ABSENCE OF UNDISCLOSED LIABILITIES. Except to the extent (a)
reflected or reserved against in the November 30, 1998 Balance Sheet, or (b)
described in Section 7.12 of the Disclosure Schedule, the Company does not have
any liabilities or obligations of any nature, whether accrued, absolute,
contingent, or otherwise (including, without limitation, liabilities, as

individual health, dental, medical, life insurance, survivor benefit,
or similar plan, policy, or arrangement, whether formal or informal,
for the benefit of any director, officer, consultant or employee,
whether active or terminated, of the Company. Each of the arrangements
set forth in Section 7.14(a) of the Disclosure Schedule is hereinafter
referred to as an "Employee Benefit Plan," except that any such

true, correct, and complete copies of each Employee Benefit Plan, and

letters and any governmental advisory opinions or rulings.

requirements prescribed (whether as a matter of substantive law or as
necessary to secure favorable tax treatment) by any and all statutes,
governmental or court orders, and governmental rules or regulations in
effect from time to time, including, but not limited to, the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and the
Code, and applicable to such Plan. Each Employee Benefit Plan that is
<PAGE>
-48-
intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code and each trust
forming part of an Employee Benefit Plan which is intended to qualify
under Section 501(c)(9) of the Code is specifically so identified in
Section 7.14(a) of the Disclosure Schedule and has been determined by
the IRS to be so qualified, and to the best of the Company's knowledge,
nothing has occurred since the date of the last such determination as
to each such Plan or trust that has resulted or is likely to result in
the revocation of such determination as to such Plan or trust, other
than such failures as may be corrected without expenditure of more than
$10,000.
(d) (i) There is no pending, or to the best of the Company's
knowledge, threatened, legal action, proceeding, or investigation,
other than routine claims for benefits, concerning any Employee Benefit
Plan, or to the best of the Company's knowledge, any fiduciary or
service provider thereof, and to the best of the Company's knowledge,
there is no basis for any such legal action, proceeding, or
investigation.
(ii) No liability (contingent or otherwise) to the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") or any
multi-employer plan has been incurred by the Company or any of
its ERISA affiliates (other than insurance premiums satisfied
in due course).
(iii) No reportable event, or event or condition that
presents a material risk of termination by the PBGC, has
occurred with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan, or any
retirement plan of an ERISA affiliate of the Company, which is
subject to Title IV of ERISA.
(iv) To the best of the Company's knowledge, no
Employee Benefit Plan nor any party in interest with respect
thereto, has engaged in a prohibited transaction that could
subject the Company directly or indirectly to liability under
Section 409 or 502(i) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.
(v) No communication, report, or disclosure has been
made that, at the time made, did not reflect accurately in all
material respects the terms and operations of any Employee
Benefit Plan.
(vi) No Employee Benefit Plan provides welfare
benefits subsequent to termination of employment to employees
or their beneficiaries (except to the extent required by
applicable state insurance laws and Title I, Part 6 of ERISA),
other than (A) coverage mandated by applicable law, (B)
benefits the full cost of which is borne by the current or
former employees (or their
<PAGE>
-49-
beneficiaries), and (C) benefits that have already been
satisfied in full.
(vii) No benefits due under any Employee Benefit Plan
have been forfeited subject to the possibility of
reinstatement (which possibility would still exist at or after
the Closing) except as required by applicable law.
(viii) The Company has not undertaken to maintain any
Employee Benefit Plan for any period of time and each such
Plan is terminable at the sole discretion of the Company,
subject only to such constraints as may be imposed by
applicable law.
(e) With respect to each Employee Benefit Plan for which a
separate fund of assets is or is required to be maintained, full
payment has been made of all amounts that the Company is required,
under the terms of each such Plan, to have paid as contributions to
that Plan as of the end of the most recently ended plan year of that
Plan, and no accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in Section 302
of ERISA and Section 412 of the Code), whether or not waived, exists
with respect to any such Plan. The current value of the assets of each
such Employee Benefit Plan, as of the end of the most recently ended
plan year of that Plan, exceeded the current value of all accrued
benefits under that Plan.
(f) The execution of this Agreement and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in any payment
(whether of severance pay or otherwise) becoming due from any Employee
Benefit Plan to any current or former director, officer, consultant, or
employee of the Company or result in the vesting, acceleration of
payment, or increases in the amount of any benefit payable to or in
respect of any such current or former director, officer, consultant, or
employee. No representation or warranty is made as to the foregoing
with respect to actions taken by LeukoSite after the Closing with
respect to the Employee Benefit Plans.
(g) No Employee Benefit Plan is a multi-employer plan.
(h) For purposes of this Section 7.14, "multi-employer plan,"
"party in interest," "current value," "accrued benefit," "reportable
event," and "benefit liability" have the same meaning assigned such
terms under Sections 3, 4043(b) or 4001(a) of ERISA, and "ERISA
affiliate" means any entity that under Section 414 of the Code is
treated as a single employer with the Company.

LeukoSite and Merger Sub have agreed to indemnify the Stockholders or the
Company, as the case may be (all persons entitled to indemnification under this
Section 14.1 being hereinafter referred to as the "Company Indemnified
Parties"), from and against any and all Damages related to or arising, directly
or indirectly, out of or in connection with any breach by LeukoSite and/or
Merger Sub of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, obligation, or
undertaking made by LeukoSite and/or Merger Sub in this Agreement (including any

(i) any breach by the Company of any representation,
warranty, covenant, agreement, obligation, or undertaking made
by the Company in this Agreement (including any schedule or
exhibit hereto), or any other agreement, instrument,

Dissenting Shares of Company Stock in accordance with the

incurred by LeukoSite in connection with such claim,
including, without limitation, (1) any payment made by
LeukoSite pursuant to Section 3.6(c) hereof in connection with
any such claim (regardless of whether such payment represents
the appraised value of such Dissenting Shares as determined
pursuant to a judicial proceeding or represents amounts paid
by LeukoSite in settlement of such appraisal rights with the
consent of the Stockholders' Representatives) and (2) any and
all court costs and reasonable legal fees and disbursements
incurred by LeukoSite in connection with any litigation or
judicial proceeding and/or settlement relating to such claim;
or
(iv) any claim by LeukoSite that the Unaudited

<PAGE>
-74-
14.4. CLAIMS.
(a) All claims for indemnification by an Indemnified Party
pursuant to this Section 14 shall be made in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 14 and, if applicable, the Escrow Agreement.
(b) If an Indemnified Party has incurred or suffered Damages
for which it is entitled to indemnification under this Section 14, such
Indemnified Party shall, prior to the expiration of the representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement to which such claim relates, give
prompt written notice of such claim (a "Claim Notice") to the
Stockholders' Representatives, in the case of a claim by a LeukoSite
Indemnified Party, or to LeukoSite, in the case of a claim by a Company
Indemnified Party (the Stockholders or LeukoSite, as the case may be,
the "Indemnifying Party"). Each Claim Notice shall state the amount of
claimed Damages (the "Claimed Amount"), if known, and the basis for
such claim.
(c) Within 20 days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the
Indemnifying Party (who for purposes of this Section 14 shall be
represented by the Stockholders' Representatives in the case of a claim
by a LeukoSite Indemnified Party) shall provide to the Indemnified
Party a written response (the "Response Notice") in which the
Indemnifying Party shall: (i) agree that all of the Claimed Amount is
owed to the Indemnified Party, (ii) agree that part, but not all, of
the Claimed Amount (the "Agreed Amount") is owed to the Indemnified
Party, or (iii) contest that any of the Claimed Amount is owed to the
Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party may contest the payment of
all or a portion of the Claimed Amount only based upon a good faith
belief that all or such portion of the Claimed Amount does not
constitute Damages for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to
indemnification under this Section 14. If no Response Notice is
delivered by the Indemnifying Party within such 20-day period, the
Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have agreed that all of the
Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party.
(d) If the Indemnifying Party in the Response Notice agrees
(or is deemed to have agreed) that all of the Claimed Amount is owed to
the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall owe to the
Indemnified Party an amount equal to the Claimed Amount to be paid in
the manner set forth in this Section 14. If the Indemnifying Party in
the Response Notice agrees that part, but not all, of the Claimed
Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall
owe to the Indemnified Party an amount equal to the Agreed Amount set
forth in such Response Notice to be paid in the manner set forth in
this Section 14.
<PAGE>
-75-
(e) The Indemnified Party shall give prompt written
notification to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any
action, suit or proceeding relating to a third party claim for which
indemnification pursuant to this Section may be sought; provided,
however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in
notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party
of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any
damage or liability caused by or arising out of such delay. Within 20
days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may,
upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of
the defense of such action, suit or proceeding with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, provided (i) the Indemnifying
Party acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Party, on behalf of
the Indemnifying Party, that any damages, fines, costs or other
liabilities that may be assessed against the Indemnified Party in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding constitute Damages for
which the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification
pursuant to this Section 14, (ii) the third party seeks monetary
damages only, and (iii) an adverse resolution of the third party's
claim would not have a material adverse effect on the goodwill or the
reputation of the Indemnified Party or the business, operations or
future conduct of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does
not so assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall
control such defense. The party not controlling such defense may
participate therein at its own expense; provided that if the
Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified
Party reasonably concludes that the Indemnifying parties and the
Indemnified Party have conflicting interests or different defenses
available with respect to such action, suit or proceeding, the
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party shall
be considered "Damages" for purposes of this Agreement. The party
controlling such defense shall keep the other party advised of the
status of such action, suit or proceeding and the defense thereof and
shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the other party
with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any
settlement of such action, suit or proceeding without the prior written
consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any
settlement of or the entry of a judgment in any action, suit or
proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld (it being understood that it
is reasonable to withhold such consent if, among other things, the
settlement or the entry of a judgment (A) lacks a complete release of
the Indemnified Party for all liability with respect thereto or (B)
imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party).

-76-
14.5 PAYMENT OF CLAIMS.
(a) An Indemnifying Party shall make payment of any portion of
any Claimed Amount that such Indemnifying Party has agreed in a
Response Notice that it owes to an Indemnified Party or that such
Indemnifying Party is deemed to have agreed it owes to such
Indemnifying Party pursuant to the provisions of Section 14.4(c)
hereof, said payment to be made within thirty (30) days after such
Response Notice is delivered by such Indemnifying Party or should have
been delivered by such Indemnifying Party, as the case may be.
(b) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, subject to the provisions of Section 14.6, LeukoSite
may withhold and set-off against any Merger Consideration otherwise
required to be paid or delivered to the Stockholders pursuant to this
Agreement any amount as to which the Stockholders are obligated to
indemnify LeukoSite pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
14.6. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY.
(a) THRESHOLD. No Indemnifying Party will be required to
indemnify an Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to any Damages
arising on account of or related to any breach of a representation or
warranty made by such Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement
until such time as the aggregate amount of Damages for which (i)
LeukoSite, Merger Sub and their respective directors, officers,
employees, representatives and other Affiliates, on the one hand, or
(ii) the Company and its directors, officers, employees,
representatives and other Affiliates, as the case may be, on the other
hand, are otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to this
Section 14 exceeds $50,000, whereupon such Indemnified Party will be
entitled to indemnification for the full amount of all such Damages
without regard to such threshold amount.
(b) LIMITED RECOURSE; MAXIMUM LIABILITY. Notwithstanding any
other provision in this Agreement, all claims for indemnification by a
LeukoSite Indemnified Party under this Section 14 shall be satisfied
solely from the Escrowed Securities or by the right of set-off set
forth in Section 14.5(b) above, and no Stockholder shall otherwise have
any direct or indirect liability to any LeukoSite Indemnified Party.
For purposes of this Section 14.6(b), the value of the shares of
LeukoSite Stock issued to such Stockholder pursuant to the Merger and
of the Merger Conversion Shares shall be conclusively deemed to be
equal to be $11.88 per share of LeukoSite Common Stock (such dollar
figure to be proportionately adjusted to reflect stock splits, stock
dividends, reverse stock splits, and
<PAGE>
-77-
other recapitalizations, reorganizations and similar events affecting
LeukoSite Common Stock and occuring after the date of this Agreement).
(c) TIME LIMIT. No Indemnifying Party will be liable for any
Damages hereunder unless a written claim for indemnification is given
by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party on or prior to the
second anniversary of the Closing Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
foregoing provisions of this Section 14.6(c) shall not apply to any
claim by LeukoSite for indemnification pursuant to clause (ii) of
Section 14.3 hereof.
(d) TAX AND INSURANCE BENEFITS. The amount of any Damages
otherwise payable to any Indemnified Party hereunder will be reduced
(i) to the extent that such Indemnified Party actually realizes, by
reason of such Damages, any tax benefit that is not offset by any
corresponding adjustment of the tax attributes of such Indemnified
Party or any of his or its assets (E.G., any tax deduction available to
such Indemnified Party in respect of such Damages will not be deemed to
result in a tax benefit to such Indemnified Party to the extent that
such deduction results in a decrease in such Indemnified Party's tax
basis in any securities or other assets), and (ii) by any insurance
proceeds actually received by such Indemnified Party in respect
thereof, to the extent that such reduction is permitted without
reduction of the amount of such proceeds payable under the applicable
insurance policy.
Each Indemnified Party will use reasonable efforts to collect any
Damages from any available insurer before attempting to collect from the
Indemnifying Party at any time. If any Indemnified Party recovers any amount
from any insurer after payment to such Indemnified Party by one or more
Indemnifying Parties of all Damages suffered or incurred by such Indemnified
Party in respect of the matters to which such insurance payment relates, then
such Indemnified Party will promptly pay over to such Indemnifying Parties the
amount so recovered, to the extent not in excess of the amount previously paid
by such Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party in respect of such matter.
14.7. SUBROGATION. An Indemnifying Party who indemnifies an Indemnified
Party pursuant to this Section 14 will, upon indefeasible payment in full of the
amount owed with respect to such matter pursuant to this Section 14, be
subrogated to the extent of such payment to the rights of such Indemnified Party
against all other persons in respect of the matter for which such
indemnification payment was made, to the extent permitted by applicable
insurance policies of such Indemnified Party, and upon such subrogation may
assert such rights against such other persons.
<PAGE>
-78-
14.8. EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES. The parties acknowledge and agree that their
sole and exclusive remedies in respect of any and all claims relating to any
breach or purported breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement,
obligation, or undertaking contained in this Agreement (including any schedule
or exhibit hereto), or any other agreement, instrument, certificate, or other
document delivered by or on behalf of any party hereto in connection with this
Agreement, the Merger, or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby will
be pursuant to the indemnification provisions of this Section 14. No breach of
any such representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, obligation, or
undertaking will give rise to any right of any party hereto to rescind this
Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.
14.9. APPLICABILITY. The provisions of this Section 14 will not apply
to claims for indemnification or contribution arising under or in connection
with Section 6 hereof and/or the Stockholder Registration Statement and the
other transactions contemplated by Section 6 hereof.
15. RELEASES. If the Merger is consummated, then, effective as of the
Effective Time, each of the Stockholders, for himself or itself and his or its
heirs, legatees, successors, and assigns, hereby fully and irrevocably releases,
remises, and discharges the Surviving Corporation and its officers, directors,
employees, agents, representatives, successors, and assigns from any and all
Damages, regardless of whether known, unknown, or unknowable, and regardless of
whether absolute, contingent, or otherwise, and regardless of whether at law, in
equity, or otherwise, without limitation, whether now existing or arising in the
future, in each case to the extent based on actions, omissions, and/or events
occurring at or before the Effective Time, including without limitation all
rights to indemnification and/or contribution, but excluding Damages and rights
of indemnification arising expressly under this Agreement and claims for accrued
but unpaid salaries and reimbursable expenses (the aggregate amount of which
salaries and expenses does not exceed $50,000). Furthermore, each of such
releasing persons hereby irrevocably agrees not to sue, or to commence,
maintain, or aid in the prosecution of any litigation, arbitration, or other
action or proceeding against or adverse to any of such released persons, or
otherwise to seek any recourse against any of such released persons, in respect
of any matter hereby released or purported or attempted to be released.
16. TERMINATION.
(a) This Agreement may be terminated at any time before the
Effective Time by agreement of LeukoSite and the Company,
notwithstanding the approval of this Agreement and/or of the Merger by
the stockholders of any party.
<PAGE>
-79-
(b) If (i) any temporary restraining order, preliminary or
permanent injunction, or other order issued by any court of competent
jurisdiction, or other binding legal restraint or prohibition
preventing the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions
contemplated hereby is at any time in effect for a period of more than
20 consecutive days, or (ii) the Closing does not occur on or before
February 28, 1999, then either LeukoSite or the Company may terminate
this Agreement by delivering written notice to the other at any time
after the close of business on date such termination right arises
hereunder, PROVIDED that such failure to close is not the result of a
breach of this Agreement by the terminating party (including, in the
case of any such termination by LeukoSite, any breach by Merger Sub, or
in the case of any such termination by the Company, any breach by any
of the Stockholders).
(c) Any termination of this Agreement will not affect the
rights or obligations of any party arising, or based on actions or
omissions occurring, before such termination. The provisions of Section
1 ("Definitions"), Section 14 ("Indemnification"), this Section 16
("Termination") and Section 17 ("General") will survive any termination
of this Agreement.
17. GENERAL.
17.1. COOPERATION. Each of the parties will cooperate with the others
and use its best reasonable efforts to prepare all necessary documentation, to
effect all necessary filings, and to obtain all necessary permits, consents,
approvals, and authorizations of all governmental bodies and other third parties
necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
17.2. SURVIVAL OF PROVISIONS. The provisions of this Agreement,
including without limitation the representations and warranties of the parties,
and the provisions of the other documents executed and delivered in connection
with this Agreement, the Merger, and the other transactions contemplated hereby
will be deemed material, and, notwithstanding any investigation by or on behalf
of any other party, will be deemed to have been relied on by each other party,
and will survive the Closing and the consummation of the Merger and the other
transactions contemplated hereby until terminated or no longer in effect in
accordance with their respective terms, except that (i) the representations and
warranties made by the parties pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the
Closing and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated hereby until the second anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii)

hereby until such date as the payments set forth in Section 3.8(b) and Section

17.4. BENEFITS OF AGREEMENT; NO ASSIGNMENTS; NO THIRD-PARTY
BENEFICIARIES.

transaction relates (provided that, in the event of such sale of
assets, the buyer agrees in writing with the Stockholders'
Representatives to be bound by the obligations of LeukoSite under this
Agreement), and any attempt to do so will be void.
(c) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or will confer
any rights or remedies on any person other than the parties hereto and

expressly provided in Section 13 hereof; PROVIDED HOWEVER, that the

ESCROW AGREEMENT
This Escrow Agreement, dated as of February 11, 1999 (this
"Agreement"), is by and among LeukoSite, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("LeukoSite"), Richard Sherman and Joel Liffmann in their capacity as
Stockholders' Representatives of the stockholders of CytoMed, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("CytoMed") (in such capacity and each of their successors being
referred to collectively as the "Stockholders Representatives"), and State
Street Bank and Trust Company, a Massachusetts banking corporation, in its
capacity as escrow agent hereunder. The Stockholders' Representatives and
LeukoSite are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the "Interested
Parties."
LeukoSite, LeukoSite Merger Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a
wholly owned subsidiary of LeukoSite ("Merger Sub"), and CytoMed, have entered
into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated as of January 4,
1999 (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with
and into CytoMed, and CytoMed, as the surviving corporation in such merger, will
become a wholly owned subsidiary of LeukoSite, all subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement (the "Merger"). It is a condition
precedent to LeukoSite's obligation to consummate the Merger that the
Stockholders' Representatives (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and the
Escrow Agent (as defined below) enter into this Agreement.
The parties hereby agree as follows:
1. CERTAIN DEFINED TERMS. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise
defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Merger
Agreement. In addition, as used in this Agreement:
"Escrow Agent" means State Street Bank and Trust Company or any of its
successors appointed pursuant to Section 9 hereof, in each case in the capacity
of escrow agent hereunder.
"Escrowed Securities" means (i) that number of shares of LeukoSite
Stock that are delivered to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 3 hereof, and
(ii) any securities received in respect thereof (whether by dividend or
subdivision, upon conversion, exchange, redemption or otherwise), including,
without limitation, any shares of LeukoSite Common Stock issued upon conversion
of shares of LeukoSite Series A Preferred Stock held in escrow pursuant to this
Agreement.
"Escrow Fund" means (i) the Escrowed Securities, (ii) any dividends,
distributions or income earned thereon and (iii) any other accessions thereto,
in each case to the extent held in escrow hereunder as of the relevant time of
reference.
<PAGE>
-2-
2. APPOINTMENT OF ESCROW AGENT. LeukoSite and the Stockholders'
Representative hereby appoint State Street Bank and Trust Company to act as
Escrow Agent hereunder, and State Street Bank and Trust Company hereby accepts
such appointment and agrees to serve in such capacity subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein.
3. ESCROW FUND.
(a) ESTABLISHMENT OF ESCROW FUND. At the Effective Time of the Merger,
LeukoSite shall deliver directly to the Escrow Agent, on behalf of the
Stockholders, a stock certificate registered in the name State Street Bank and
Trust Company in its capacity as escrow agent hereunder for the benefit of the
Stockholders, representing the aggregate number of shares of LeukoSite Series A
Preferred Stock indicated with respect to the Stockholders in the attached
SCHEDULE 1, all to be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall
have no responsibility for the genuineness, validity, market value, title or
sufficiency for any intended purpose of the Escrowed Securities. The aggregate
number of shares of LeukoSite Series A Preferred Stock represented by the stock
certificate to be so delivered by LeukoSite to the Escrow Agent at the Effective
Time shall be equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Aggregate Base Consideration
Shares issued in connection with the Merger at the Effective Time. The
Stockholders hereby consent to: (i) the establishment of this escrow to secure
the Stockholders indemnification obligations contained in the Merger Agreement
in the manner set forth therein, (ii) the appointment of the Stockholders'
Representatives as their representatives for purposes of this Agreement and as
attorney-in-fact and agent for and on behalf of each Stockholder, and the taking
by the Stockholders' Representative of any and all actions and the making of any
decisions required or permitted to be taken or made by them under this Agreement
and (c) all of the other terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement.
(b) DIVIDENDS, ETC. ON ESCROWED SECURITIES. Until such time, if any,
when the Escrowed Securities may be required hereunder to be delivered to a
person entitled to indemnification under the Merger Agreement, such Escrowed
Securities will remain for the benefit of the respective Stockholders. The
Escrow Agent shall be under no obligation to preserve, protect or exercise
rights in the Escrowed Securities, and shall be responsible only for reasonable
measures to maintain the physical safekeeping thereof and otherwise for the
performance and observance of such duties on its part as are expressly set forth
in this Agreement; except that it shall, at the written request of the
Stockholders' Representatives given to the Escrow Agent at least three Business
Days prior to the date on which the Escrow Agent is requested therein to take
any action, deliver to the Stockholders' Representative a proxy or other
instrument in the form supplied to it by the Stockholders' Representative for
voting or otherwise exercising any right of consent with respect to any of the
Escrowed Securities held by it hereunder, to
<PAGE>
-3-
authorize therein the Stockholders' Representatives to exercise such voting or
consent authority in respect of the Escrowed Securities. The Escrow Agent shall
not be responsible for forwarding to any Party, notifying any Party with respect
to, or taking any action with respect to, any notice, solicitation or other
document or information, written or otherwise, received from an issuer or other
person with respect to the Escrowed Securities, including by not limited to,
proxy material, tenders, options, the pendency of calls and maturities and
expiration of rights. Any dividends or other distributions in respect of
Escrowed Securities, and any securities issued upon the conversion, redemption,
or exchange of the Escrowed Securities, will be deposited with the Escrow Agent
in escrow hereunder immediately upon payment or issuance, accompanied by written
notice to the Escrow Agent identifying such deposit of dividends or other
distributions.
(c) TAX LIABILITIES. The Stockholders shall be responsible for any tax
liability and tax reporting obligations attributable to (i) the placement of the
Escrowed Securities in the escrow contemplated hereby and (ii) the payment of
any dividends or other amounts payable (including interest or other income
earned but not distributed in any tax year) to the Stockholders with respect to
the Escrowed Shares. Each of the Stockholders shall provide the Escrow Agent
with an executed IRS Form W-9 or W-8, as applicable.
(c) TAX INDEMNIFICATION BY THE STOCKHOLDERS. With respect to any
payment or distribution of the Escrow Fund to any of the Stockholders, each
Stockholder agrees (i) to assume any and all obligations imposed now or
hereafter by any applicable tax law with respect to any payment or distribution
of the Escrow Fund to such Stockholder or with respect to the performance of
other activities under this Agreement to the extent that such activities pertain
to such Stockholder, and (ii) to instruct the Escrow Agent in writing with
respect to the Escrow Agent's responsibility for withholding and other taxes,
assessments or other governmental charges pertaining to such Stockholder, and to
instruct the Escrow Agent with respect to any certifications and governmental
reporting that may be required under any laws or regulations that may be
applicable with respect to such Stockholder in connection with the performance
by the Escrow Agent of its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement. The
Stockholders, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold the Escrow
Agent harmless from any liability or obligation on account of taxes,
assessments, additions for late payment, interest, penalties, expenses and other
governmental charges that may be assessed or asserted against the Escrow Agent
in connection with or relating to any payment made to the Stockholders or other
activities performed under the terms of this Agreement with respect to the
Stockholders, including without limitation any liability for the withholding or
deduction of (or the failure to withhold or deduct) the same, and any liability
for failure to obtain proper certifications or to report properly to
governmental authorities in connection with this Agreement, including costs and
expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), interest and penalties.
The foregoing indemnification and agreement to hold harmless shall
<PAGE>
-4-
survive the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the joint and several
nature of the foregoing indemnification and agreement to hold harmless, the
Stockholders hereby agree that, as among them, each Stockholder shall ultimately
be liable and responsible only for that portion of any aggregate indemnification
payment or obligation owed to the Escrow Agent under this Section 3(d)
pertaining to any taxes, assessments, additions for late payment, interest,
penalties, expenses and other governmental charges that may be assessed or
asserted against the Escrow Agent in connection with or relating to any payment
made to such Stockholder or other activities performed under the terms of this
Agreement for the benefit of, or otherwise relating or pertaining to, such
Stockholder.
(e) TAX INDEMNIFICATION BY LEUKOSITE. With respect to any payment or
distribution of the Escrow Fund to LeukoSite, LeukoSite agrees (i) to assume any
and all obligations imposed now or hereafter by any applicable tax law with
respect to any payment or distribution of the Escrow Fund to LeukoSite or with
respect to the performance of other activities under this Agreement to the
extent that such activities pertain to LeukoSite, and (ii) to instruct the
Escrow Agent in writing with respect to the Escrow Agent's responsibility for
withholding and other taxes, assessments or other governmental charges
pertaining to LeukoSite, and to instruct the Escrow Agent with respect to any
certifications and governmental reporting that may be required under any laws or
regulations that may be applicable with respect to LeukoSite in connection with
the performance by the Escrow Agent of its duties and responsibilities under
this Agreement. LeukoSite agrees to indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless
from any liability or obligation on account of taxes, assessments, additions for
late payment, interest, penalties, expenses and other governmental charges that
may be assessed or asserted against the Escrow Agent in connection with or
relating to any payment made to LeukoSite or other activities performed under
the terms of this Agreement with respect to LeukoSite, including without
limitation any liability for the withholding or deduction of (or the failure to
withhold or deduct) the same, and any liability for failure to obtain proper
certifications or to report properly to governmental authorities in connection
with this Agreement, including costs and expenses (including reasonable legal
fees and expenses), interest and penalties. The foregoing indemnification and
agreement to hold harmless shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
4. CLAIMS AGAINST ESCROW FUND.
(a) NOTICE OF CLAIM. LeukoSite will give the Escrow Agent and the
Stockholders' Representatives written notice (a "Notice of Claim") of any claim
for indemnification under Section 14 of the Merger Agreement to be paid from the
Escrow Fund (a "Claim"), indicating the amount of indemnification sought and
specifying in reasonable detail the factual basis therefor to the extent then
known to LeukoSite. If the Damages for which indemnification is sought are
liquidated, LeukoSite's Notice of Claim will so state and a charge in such
amount will be deemed asserted against the Escrow Fund. If such Damages are not
liquidated,
<PAGE>
-5-
LeukoSite's Notice of Claim will so state and will contain its good-faith
estimate of the maximum amount of such Claim, and in such event, a charge in
such amount will be deemed asserted against the Escrow Fund. LeukoSite will not
be entitled to give any Notice of Claim after the date on which all of the
Escrow Fund is released from the escrow hereunder pursuant to, and in accordance
with, the provisions of Section 5(a) hereof.
(b) OBJECTION TO CLAIM. If within ten business days after the date a
Notice of Claim is delivered to the Escrow Agent and the Stockholders'
Representatives in accordance with Section 4(a), the Stockholders'
Representatives advise the Escrow Agent in writing that they object to such
Notice of Claim (or a portion thereof), stating in reasonable detail the basis
of their objection, then unless and until the Stockholders' Representatives
withdraw such objection in writing, the Claim ( or the portion thereof so
disputed, as the case may be) to which such Notice of Claim relates will be
deemed to be a "Disputed Claim"; otherwise, such Claim (or portion thereof not
so disputed, as the case may be) will be deemed to be an "Allowed Claim."
(c) PAYMENT OF ALLOWED CLAIMS. As promptly as is practicable, and in
any event within fifteen days, after a Claim (or a portion thereof) is
determined to be an Allowed Claim, or if at the time a Notice of Claim with
respect to such Claim (or portion thereof) was given in accordance with Section
4(a), such Claim was not liquidated in amount, then as promptly as practicable
after the later to occur of (i) such Claim (or portion thereof) becoming an
Allowed Claim in accordance with the provisions of Section 4(b) above and (ii)
such Claim (or portion thereof) becoming liquidated and written notice thereof
is given by LeukoSite to the Escrow Agent and the Stockholders' Representatives,
the Escrow Agent will release from escrow and deliver to LeukoSite a number of
Escrowed Securities (to the extent Escrowed Securities remain available)
sufficient to satisfy such Claim (or portion thereof), registered to LeukoSite.
For purposes of calculating the number of Escrowed Securities to be delivered to
LeukoSite pursuant to this Section 4(c), the cash value of each share of
LeukoSite Stock and of the Merger Conversion Shares shall be conclusively deemed
to equal $11.88 per share (such dollar figure to be proportionately adjusted to
reflect stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits, and other
recapitalizations, reorganizations and similar events affecting LeukoSite Common
Stock and occurring after the date of this Agreement, notice of which having
been given to the Escrow Agent.).
(d) NO PAYMENT OF DISPUTED CLAIMS. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, the Escrow Agent will not release from escrow or deliver any
part of the Escrow Fund in respect of any Disputed Claim.
(e) PAYMENT OF INCOME, ETC. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, to the extent that any amount of the money and/or property originally
deposited into escrow hereunder is distributed to LeukoSite or any Stockholder,
all
<PAGE>
-6-
income and other accessions with respect to such amount (including without
limitation interest and dividends) will be distributed to the same party and at
the same time.
(f) INVESTMENT PROVISIONS. The Escrow Agent shall invest the Escrowed
Funds at, and pursuant to, the joint written direction of LeukoSite and the
Stockholders' Representatives in Eligible Investments and shall not be
responsible for or liable for any loss accruing from any investment made in
accordance herewith. "Eligible Investments" shall mean (i) obligations issued or
guaranteed by the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality
thereof (provided that the full faith and credit of the United States of America
is pledged in support thereof); (ii) obligations (including certificates of
deposit and banker's acceptances) of any domestic commercial bank having capital
and surplus in excess of $500,000,000; (iii) repurchase obligations for
underlying securities of the type described in clause (i); (iv) shares of money
market funds at least 95% of the assets of which constitute obligations of the
type described in clause (i) above. No investment shall have a term of more than
90 days. If otherwise qualified, obligations of the Escrow Agent shall qualify
as Eligible Investments. Absent its timely receipt of such specific written
investment instructions from LeukoSite and the Stockholders' Representatives,
the Escrow Agent shall have no obligation or duty to invest (or otherwise pay
interest on) the Escrow Funds. All earnings received from the investment of the
Escrow Funds shall be credited to, and shall become a part of, the Escrow Fund
(and any losses on such investments shall be debited to the Escrow Account). The
Escrow Agent shall have no liability for any investment losses, including any
losses on any investment required to be liquidated prior to maturity in order to
make a payment required hereunder.
5. RELEASE AND DELIVERY OF ESCROW FUND.
(a) ON CUT-OFF DATE. If LeukoSite has not delivered a Notice of Claim
to the Escrow Agent and the Stockholders' Representatives on or prior to
December 31, 1999 (the "Cut-Off Date"), the Escrow Agent will release all of the
remaining Escrow Fund from escrow promptly thereafter, and deliver it to the
Stockholders PRO RATA in accordance with their respective number of shares of
LeukoSite Series A Preferred Stock initially deposited in escrow as set forth on
SCHEDULE 1. If LeukoSite has delivered a Notice of Claim to the Escrow Agent and
the Stockholders' Representatives on or prior to December 31, 1999, and such
Notice of Claim is received by the Escrow Agent on or prior to such date, then
the Escrow Agent will release all of the remaining Escrow Fund from escrow on
the second anniversary of the Closing Date and deliver it to the Stockholders
PRO RATA in accordance with their respective number of shares of LeukoSite
Series A Preferred Stock initially deposited in escrow as set forth on SCHEDULE
1, PROVIDED, that the Escrow Agent will retain and continue to hold in escrow
such portion, if any, of the Escrow Fund with respect to which LeukoSite has
asserted any Claim(s) in
<PAGE>
-7-
accordance with this Agreement which have not been resolved (it being understood
that such portion, if any, of the Escrow Fund will continue to be subject to the
escrow contemplated under this Agreement and will be released from such escrow
only in accordance with the provisions of Section 4(c), Section 5(b) or Section
5(c) hereof). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5(a) to the contrary, a
Notice of Claim delivered by LeukoSite and received by the Escrow Agent and the
Stockholders' Representatives on or prior to December 31, 1999, in connection
with any adjustment in the Aggregate Base Consideration Shares pursuant to
Section 3.7(e) of the Merger Agreement shall not be taken into account in
determining whether the Escrow Agent should release all of the remaining Escrow
Fund from escrow on December 31, 1999 in accordance with the provisions set
forth in this Section 5(a).
(b) AS DIRECTED BY A COURT. Except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, the Escrow Agent will retain the portion of the Escrow Fund representing
disputed claims until such time or times as it receives notice that a judgment,
order, or decree has been entered or made by any court with respect to the
disposition of the Escrow Fund (or any portion thereof) that, in the opinion of
legal counsel chosen by the Escrow Agent, is binding upon the Escrow Agent and
not subject to further appeal or modification before compliance is required
therewith, in which case the Escrow Agent will comply with such judgment, order,
or decree.
(c) AS DIRECTED BY THE PARTIES. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, the Escrow Agent will release all or any part of the Escrow Fund
and deliver it in accordance with written instructions duly executed (in
counterparts or otherwise) by LeukoSite and the Stockholders' Representatives.
6. LIABILITY OF ESCROW AGENT. This Agreement is entered into by the
Escrow Agent as an accommodation to, and solely for the benefit of, LeukoSite
and the Stockholders; and no other person will have any right to enforce or
receive the benefits of this Agreement other than enforcement hereof by the
Stockholders' Representatives on behalf of the Stockholders. The Escrow Agent
will be obligated to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth in this
Agreement on its part to be performed, each of which are ministerial (and shall
not be construed to be fiduciary) in nature, and no implied duties or
obligations of any kind shall be read into this Agreement against or on the part
of the Escrow Agent, and will not be liable to any person or entity whatsoever,
except for actual damages caused by its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct, and in any event will not be liable for any punitive incidental or
consequential damages, including without limitation lost profits. Each
Interested Party acknowledges and agrees that the Escrow Agent shall not be
responsible for the Merger Agreement or for determining or compelling compliance
therewith and shall not be obligated to take any legal or other action hereunder
which might in its judgment involve or cause it to incur any expense or
liability unless it shall have been furnished with acceptable indemnification.
The Escrow Agent shall have no more or less responsibility or liability on
account of any
<PAGE>
-8-
action or omission of any book-entry depository, securities intermediary or
other subescrow agent employed by the Escrow Agent than any such book-entry
depository, securities intermediary or other subescrow agent has to the Escrow
Agent, except to the extent that such action or omission of any book-entry
depository, securities intermediary or other subescrow agent was caused by the
Escrow Agent's own gross negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct in breach of
this Agreement.
7. INDEMNIFICATION OF ESCROW AGENT. Each of LeukoSite and the
Stockholders, jointly and severally, will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless
the Escrow Agent (and its respective officers, directors, stockholders,
partners, employees, agents, and other representatives) from and against all
damages, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorney's fees and other defense costs and expenses ) related to or arising,
directly or indirectly, out of any claim made by any Interested Party, any
Stockholder or any third party against the Escrow Agent in connection with this
Agreement or with the administration by the Escrow Agent of its duties
hereunder, excepting only such damages, losses, costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, attorney's fees and other defense costs and expenses ) as
may be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been
caused directly by the Escrow Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
The foregoing indemnification and agreement to hold harmless shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
8. RELIANCE BY ESCROW AGENT. In the absence of gross negligence or
willful misconduct, the Escrow Agent will not incur any liability for (a) acting
or failing to act in good-faith reliance upon any written instruction
(including, without limitation, wire transfer instructions, whether incorporated
herein or provided in a separate written instruction), notice, or other document
required or permitted under this Agreement and believed by it to be genuine and
to have been signed by the proper person(s), without any obligation on its part
to make any additional inquiry or investigation, and (b) acting or failing to
act in good-faith reliance upon the advice of legal counsel.
9. RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF ESCROW AGENT. The Escrow Agent will have
the right to resign as Escrow Agent hereunder at any time, upon 30 days prior
written notice to LeukoSite and the Stockholders' Representatives; and the
Escrow Agent may be removed by written agreement of LeukoSite and the
Stockholders' Representatives delivered to the Escrow Agent, which removal will
be effective not earlier than 30 days after such delivery to the Escrow Agent,
unless the Escrow Agent consents in writing to an earlier effective time. Before
the effectiveness of any such resignation or removal, LeukoSite and the
Stockholders' Representatives will jointly appoint another person, reasonably
acceptable to both of them, to act in the resigning or removed Escrow Agent's
stead hereunder. If LeukoSite and the Stockholders' Representatives fail to
agree upon and appoint such successor Escrow Agent before the effectiveness of
any such resignation or removal, then unless
<PAGE>
-9-
otherwise instructed by written notice duly executed by LeukoSite and the
Stockholders' Representatives, the resigning or removed Escrow Agent will
deposit the Escrow Fund with a court of competent jurisdiction and will
institute an interpleader proceeding against LeukoSite and the Stockholders,
upon which such Escrow Agent will be relieved of all future obligations
hereunder.
10. TERMINATION, AMENDMENT, AND MODIFICATION. This Agreement will
terminate when the entire Escrow Fund has been distributed in accordance with
the terms hereof. Prior to such time, this Agreement may be terminated, amended,
or modified only by a written agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) duly
executed and delivered by LeukoSite, the Stockholders' Representatives and the
Escrow Agent.
11. DISPUTES. In the event that there arises any dispute with respect
to this Agreement or any transaction or matter in connection with this
Agreement, including without limitation the respective rights of LeukoSite and
the Stockholders to the release or return of all or any part of the Escrow Fund,
the Escrow Agent is authorized (but will not be required) (a) to retain
possession of all or any part of the Escrow Fund until such dispute is finally
resolved, including without limitation, resolution by mutual agreement of the
disputants or by the final judgment, order, or decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction after the time for appeal has expired and without any rights of
appeal having been perfected; and/or (b) to deposit all or any part of the
Escrow Fund with a court of competent jurisdiction and institute an interpleader
proceeding against LeukoSite and the Stockholders, upon which the Escrow Agent's
future obligations under this Agreement will immediately terminate. The Escrow
Agent is authorized (but will not be required) to institute, prosecute,
intervene in, and/or defend any such proceedings.

13. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted
and construed in accordance with the internal laws of Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, as applied to contracts under seal made, and entirely to be
performed, within Massachusetts, and without reference to principles of
conflicts or choice of laws.
14. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed by the parties in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered will be an
original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same agreement.
In pleading or proving this Agreement, it will not be necessary to produce or

and agreement among the parties, and supersedes any prior understandings or
<PAGE>
-12-
agreements among them, or between or among any of them, with respect to the
subject matter hereof.
16. CAPTIONS. The captions of sections or subsections of this Agreement
are for reference only and will not affect the interpretation or construction of
this Agreement.
17. FEES AND EXPENSES. The Stockholders and LeukoSite each agree,
jointly and severally, (i) to pay or reimburse the Escrow Agent for its
reasonable attorney's fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
preparation of this Agreement and (ii) to pay the Escrow Agent's compensation
for its normal services hereunder in accordance with the fee schedule attached
hereto as SCHEDULE 2, which may be subject to change hereafter on an annual
basis. The Stockholders and LeukoSite each agree, jointly and severally, to
reimburse the Escrow Agent on demand for all costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the administration of this Agreement or the escrow created
hereby or the performance or observance of its duties hereunder which are in
excess of its compensation for normal services hereunder, including without
limitation, payment of any reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by the
Escrow Agent in connection with the resolution of any claim by any party
hereunder. Without altering or limiting the joint and several liability of any
of the Stockholders or LeukoSite to the Escrow Agent hereunder, as amongst
themselves, each of LeukoSite, on the one hand, and the Stockholders, on the
other hand, will be responsible for one-half of the fees and expenses of Escrow
Agent incurred in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder.
18. BENEFITS OF AGREEMENT; NO ASSIGNMENTS; NO THIRD-PARTY
BENEFICIARIES.
(a) This Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective heirs, successors, and permitted assigns.
(b) No party will assign any rights or delegate any obligations
hereunder without the consent of the other parties, other than in the case of
LeukoSite, in connection with a (i) merger or consolidation of LeukoSite or (ii)
sale of the assets to which this transaction relates (provided that, in the
event of such sale of assets, the buyer agrees in writing with the Stockholders'
Representatives to be bound by the obligations of LeukoSite under the Merger
Agreement) and any attempt to do so will be void.
(c) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or will confer any rights
or remedies on any person other than the parties hereto and their respective
heirs, successors, and permitted assigns.

19. EQUITABLE RELIEF. Each of the parties hereby acknowledges that any
breach by him or it of his or its obligations under this Agreement would cause
substantial and irreparable damage to the parties, and that money damages would
be an inadequate remedy therefor, and accordingly, acknowledges and agrees that
each other party will be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, and/or
other equitable relief to prevent the breach of such obligations.
20. CONSTRUCTION. The language used in this Agreement is the language
chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict
construction will be applied against any party.
21. WAIVERS. No waiver of any breach or default hereunder will be valid
unless in a writing signed by the waiving party. No failure or other delay by
any party exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder will be or operate
as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power,
or privilege.
22. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND SERVICE. Each of the parties hereto
hereby absolutely and irrevocably consents and submits to the jurisdiction of
the courts in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and of any Federal court located
in said Commonwealth in connection with any actions or proceedings brought
against any of the parties hereto (or each of them) arising out of or relating
to this Escrow Agreement. In any such action or proceeding, each party hereto
hereby absolutely and irrevocably (i) waives any objection to jurisdiction or
venue, (ii) waives personal service of any summons, complaint, declaration or
other process, and (iii) agrees that the service thereof may be made by
certified or registered first-class mail directed to such party, as the case may
be, at its address in accordance with Section 12 hereof.

or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts
shall include but not be limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts
of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire,
communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or
other disasters.
24. REPRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS. This Agreement and all documents
relating thereto, including, without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and
modifications which may hereafter be executed, and (b) certificates and other
information previously or hereafter furnished, may be reproduced by any
photographic, photostatic, microfilm, optical disk, micro-card, miniature
photographic or other similar process. The parties agree that any such
