Ladies and Gentlemen:

         Pyxis Innovations Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a wholly owned

         Contemporaneous with this letter, Interleukin Genetics, Inc., a

         As a material inducement and condition for Interleukin entering into

Pyxis shall pay all amounts due, and perform all of its obligations if and when

Guaranty is irrevocable and unconditional. If any of such obligations are not
timely paid or performed by Pyxis, then Alticor shall pay or perform such
obligations or cause such obligations promptly to be paid or performed for the
benefit of Interleukin. Interleukin need not take any steps to recover funds
from or compel performance of Pyxis prior to taking action against Alticor under
this Guaranty (provided Interleukin shall notify Alticor reasonably in advance
of taking such action), and Interleukin may proceed against Alticor and recovery
may be had against Alticor without first pursuing or exhausting any claims or
remedies against Pyxis. Except as set forth in the prior sentence, Alticor
hereby expressly waives notice of nonpayment, nonperformance and any other
notice rights.

         Alticor has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver
this letter agreement and to perform its obligations set forth in this letter,
and Pyxis has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver and to
perform its obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement.

waiver, by the party waiving compliance, provided that with respect to
Interleukin, such amendment or waiver shall be accompanied by an authorizing
certificate affirmatively signed by each member of Interleukin's Board of
Directors. No delay on the part of each party on exercising any right hereunder

further exercising thereof or any other such right. This Guaranty shall be
