ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND SUBJECT COMPANY.
 
     The name of the subject company is Innotech, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"). The address of the principal executive offices of the Company
is 5568 Airport Road, Roanoke, Virginia 24012. The title of the class of equity
securities to which this Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9
(the "Schedule 14D-9" or the "Statement") relates is the common stock, par value
$.001 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock").
 
ITEM 2.  TENDER OFFER OF THE PURCHASER.
 
     This Statement relates to a tender offer by INO Acquisition Corp., a
Delaware corporation (the "Purchaser") and a wholly owned subsidiary of Johnson
& Johnson, a New Jersey corporation (the "Parent"), disclosed in a Tender Offer
Statement on Schedule 14D-1, dated February 18, 1997 (the "Schedule 14D-1"), to
purchase all outstanding shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") at a price of
$13.75 per Share, net to sellers in cash, without any interest, upon the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchaser's Offer to Purchase,
dated February 18, 1997 (the "Offer to Purchase"), and the related Letter of
Transmittal (which together constitute the "Offer").
 
     The Offer is being made pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
as of February 10, 1997 (the "Merger Agreement"), among the Parent, the
Purchaser and the Company, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and
incorporated herein by reference. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as soon as
practicable after consummation of the Offer and satisfaction of the other
conditions specified in the Merger Agreement, the Purchaser will be merged with
and into the Company (the "Merger"), and the Company will continue as the
surviving corporation and become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent (the
"Surviving Corporation").
 
     All references in this Schedule 14D-9 to the Merger Agreement and to the
transactions contemplated thereby are to the Merger Agreement and to such
transactions as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, as presently in effect,
and not as it may be subsequently amended by the Company's Board of Directors
(the "Board") as reconstituted upon the purchase of Shares by the Purchaser
pursuant to the Offer. See ITEM 3(b)(1) "THE MERGER AGREEMENT -- Board
Representation" and "-- Amendment of Merger Agreement."
 
     All information contained in this Statement or incorporated herein by
reference concerning the Purchaser, the Parent or their affiliates, or actions
or events with respect to any of them, was provided by the Purchaser or the
Parent and the Company takes no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness
of such information or for any failure by such entities to disclose events or
circumstances that may have occurred and may affect the significance,
completeness or accuracy of any such information.
 
     Based on information in the Offer to Purchase, the principal executive
offices of the Parent and the Purchaser are located at One Johnson & Johnson
Plaza, New Brunswick, New Jersey 08933.
 
ITEM 3.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
 
     (a) NAME AND ADDRESS OF THE COMPANY.  The name of the Company, which is the
person filing this Statement, and the address of the principal executive offices
thereof, are set forth in Item 1 above.
 
     (b) MATERIAL CONTRACTS.  Except as described or referred to in the attached
Schedule I or set forth below, there exists no material contract, agreement,
arrangement or understanding and no actual or potential conflict of interest
between the Company or any of its affiliates and (1) the Company's executive
officers, directors or affiliates or (2) the Purchaser, its executive officers,
directors or affiliates.
 
     (b)(1) THE MERGER AGREEMENT.  A summary of the Merger Agreement is
contained on pages 14 through 20 of the Offer to Purchase. The Offer to
Purchase, a copy of which is enclosed with this Schedule 14D-9, has been filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and is incorporated
herein by reference. The following summarizes certain provisions of the Merger
Agreement which relate to agreements and arrangements among the Company, the
Purchaser (or the Parent) and the Company's
<PAGE>   3
 
executive officers and directors. The following summary is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement and the
summary thereof contained in the Offer to Purchase should each be read in its
entirety for a more complete understanding of the terms and provisions of the
Merger Agreement.
 
     Board Representation.  The Merger Agreement provides that, promptly upon
the acceptance for payment of, and payment for, Shares by the Purchaser pursuant
to and subject to the conditions of the Offer, the Purchaser shall be entitled
to designate such number of directors on the Board of the Company as will give
the Purchaser a majority of such directors, and the Company shall, at such time,
cause the Purchaser's designees to be so elected by its existing Board. The
Company has agreed to take all action requested by the Parent necessary to
effect such election and, at the Parent's option, to either increase the size of
the Company's Board and/or obtain the resignations of such number of its current
directors as is necessary to enable the Purchaser's designees to be elected or
appointed to, and to constitute a majority of, the Company's Board. The
Company's obligation to appoint designees to the Board is subject to Section
14(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder. In this regard, the Company has prepared
and filed with the SEC simultaneously herewith an Information Statement
containing the information required by such Section 14(f) (the "Information
Statement"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule I.
 
     Stock Option Plans and Warrants.  The Merger Agreement provides that, as
soon as practicable following the date of the Merger Agreement and prior to the
consummation of the Offer, the Company shall ensure that, with certain
exceptions set forth in the Merger Agreement, each option to purchase Shares (a
"Company Stock Option") theretofore granted under any stock option, stock
appreciation rights or stock purchase plan, program or arrangement of the
Company (collectively, the "Stock Option Plans"), and each warrant to purchase
Shares (a "Warrant"), in each case outstanding immediately prior to the
consummation of the Offer, whether or not then exercisable, shall either (1) be
cancelled immediately prior to the effective date of the Merger (the "Effective
Time") in exchange for an amount in cash, payable at the time of such
cancellation, equal to the product of (x) the number of Shares subject to such
Company Stock Option or Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y)
the excess of the price per Share to be paid in the Offer over the per Share
exercise price of such Company Stock Option or Warrant (the "Net Amount") or (2)
be converted immediately prior to the Effective Time into the right solely to
receive the Net Amount. The Merger Agreement further provides that the Company
(or, if appropriate, the Board or any committee thereof administering the Stock
Option Plans) shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that immediately
prior to the Effective Time any Company Stock Options and Warrants then
remaining are cancelled or converted as set forth above. The Company shall not
make, or agree to make, payments of any kind to any holder of a Company Stock
Option or a Warrant (except for the payment described above) without the consent
of the Parent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld).
 
     Continuation of Benefits.  The Parent has agreed in the Merger Agreement to
cause the Surviving Corporation to take such actions as are necessary so that,
for a period of not less than one year after the Effective Time, employees of
the Company who continue their employment will be provided employee benefits
which in the aggregate are at least generally comparable to those provided to
such employees as of the date of the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement also
provides that it is the Parent's stated current intention, following the first
anniversary of the Effective Time, to provide employee benefit plans, programs,
arrangements and policies for the benefit of employees of the Company which are
generally comparable in the aggregate to the employee benefit plans, programs,
arrangements and policies provided for the benefit of other similarly situated
employees of the Parent and its subsidiaries.
 
     Amendment of Merger Agreement.  The Merger Agreement provides that,
following the election or appointment of the Purchaser's designees to the
Company's Board (See "-- Board Representation" above) and prior to the Effective
Time, any amendment or termination of the Merger Agreement, extension of time
permitted for the performance of the obligations of the Parent or the Purchaser
thereunder or waiver or exercise of the Company's rights or remedies thereunder
will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors of the Company
then in office who were not designated by the Parent or the Purchaser.
 
                                        2
<PAGE>   4
 
     Agreements with Respect to Director and Officer Indemnification and
Insurance.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, all provisions for the
indemnification and exculpation (including the advancement of expenses) from
liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time
(including with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement) existing at the time of such Agreement or at the Effective Time in
favor of the Company's current or former directors or officers, as provided in
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, its By-laws (each as in effect on
the date of the Merger Agreement) and reasonable indemnification agreements,
shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation in the Merger, without further
action, as of the Effective Time and shall survive the Merger and continue in
full force and effect without amendment, modification or repeal in accordance
with their terms for a period of not less than six years after the Effective
Time.
 
     In addition, the Merger Agreement provides that, for six years after the
Effective Time, the Parent shall, unless the Parent shall agree in writing to
guarantee the indemnification obligations discussed above, provide officers' and
directors' liability insurance in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or
prior to the Effective Time, including, but not limited to, the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement, covering each person covered by the
Company's existing officers' and directors' liability insurance policy, or who
becomes covered by such policy prior to the Effective Time, on terms with
respect to coverage and amount no less favorable than those of such policy in
effect on the date of the Merger Agreement; provided, that in satisfying such
obligation, the Parent shall not be obligated to pay premiums in excess of 200%
of the amount per annum that the Company paid in its last full fiscal year; and
provided, further, that the Parent shall nevertheless be obligated to provide
such coverage as may be obtained for such 200% amount.
 
     The Merger Agreement provides that in the event that the Parent, the
Surviving Corporation or any of their successors or assigns (i) consolidates
with or merges into any other person and is not the continuing or surviving
corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or
conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any to person,
then, and in each such case, proper provision will be made so that the
successors and assigns of the Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case
may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in the two preceding paragraphs.
In the event that the Surviving Corporation transfers any material portion of
its assets, in a single transaction or in a series of transactions, the Parent
will either guarantee the indemnification obligations referred to above or take
such other action to ensure that the ability of the Surviving Corporation, legal
and financial, to satisfy such indemnification obligations will not be
diminished in any material respect.
 
     No Solicitation; Termination Fee.  The Merger Agreement provides that the
Company shall not, and shall not authorize or permit any of its officers,
directors, employees, or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney,
accountant or other representative retained by it to, directly or indirectly (i)
solicit, initiate or encourage (including by way of furnishing information), or
take any other action to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal
that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Takeover
Proposal (as defined below) or (ii) participate in any discussions or
negotiations regarding any Takeover Proposal; provided, however, that if, at any
time prior to the acceptance for payment of Shares pursuant to and subject to
the conditions of the Offer, the Board of the Company (or the special committee
it formed in connection with the Offer and the Merger (the "Special Committee"))
determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that failure
to do so would create a substantial risk of liability for breach of its
fiduciary duties to the Company's stockholders under applicable law, the Company
may, in response to a Takeover Proposal that was unsolicited, and subject to
compliance with the provisions discussed below (x) furnish information with
respect to the Company to any person pursuant to a customary and reasonable
confidentiality agreement and (y) participate in negotiations regarding such
Takeover Proposal.
 
     The Merger Agreement defines "Takeover Proposal" as any proposal or offer
from any person relating to any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of
20% or more of the assets of the Company or 20% or more of any class of
outstanding equity securities of the Company, any tender offer or exchange offer
that if consummated would result in any person beneficially owning 20% or more
of any class of equity securities of the Company or any merger, consolidation,
business combination, sale of substantially all the assets, recapitalization,
liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company, other
than the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
 
                                        3
<PAGE>   5
 
     The Merger Agreement provides further that unless the Board of the Company
shall have terminated the Merger Agreement as described below, neither the
Board, nor any committee thereof, shall (i) withdraw or modify, or propose to
withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to the Parent, the approval or
recommendation by such Board or any such committee of the Offer, the Merger
Agreement or the Merger, (ii) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or
recommend, any Takeover Proposal or (iii) enter into any letter of intent,
agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other agreement with respect to
any Takeover Proposal. The Company may terminate the Merger Agreement and take
any such action, if, prior to the obligation of the Purchaser to accept Shares
for payment pursuant to the Offer, the Board of the Company determines that a
Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal (as defined below); provided,
however, that the Company may not terminate the Merger Agreement pursuant to
this provision unless and until five business days have elapsed following
delivery to the Parent of a written notice of such determination by the Board of
the Company and during such five business day period the Company (i) informs the
Parent of the terms and conditions of the Takeover Proposal and the identity of
the person making the Takeover Proposal and (ii) otherwise cooperates with the
Parent with respect thereto (subject, in the case of clause (ii), to the
condition that the Board of the Company shall not be required to take any action
that it believes, after consultation with outside legal counsel, would present a
substantial risk of liability for violating its obligations to the Company or
the Company's stockholders under applicable law) with the intent of enabling the
Parent to agree to a modification of the terms and conditions of the Merger
Agreement so that the transactions contemplated thereby may be effected;
provided, further, that the Company may not terminate the Merger Agreement
pursuant to such provision unless at the end of such five business day period
the Board of the Company continues to believe that the Takeover Proposal
constitutes a Superior Proposal and no later than two days thereafter the
Company pays to the Parent a termination fee in the amount of $6.25 million and
reimburses it for related expenses in an amount up to $500,000.
 
     The Merger Agreement defines a "Superior Proposal" to be any bona fide
proposal made by a third party to acquire, directly or indirectly, for
consideration consisting of cash and/or securities, more than 50% of the voting
power of the Shares or all or substantially all the assets of the Company and
otherwise on terms that the Board of the Company determines in its good faith
judgment (based on the written opinion of a financial advisor of nationally
recognized reputation, which opinion shall be provided to the Parent) to be more
favorable to the Company's stockholders than the Offer and the Merger and for
which financing, to the extent required, is then committed or which, in the good
faith judgment of the Board of the Company, is capable of being obtained by such
third party.
 
     The Merger Agreement provides that nothing contained therein shall prohibit
the Company from taking and disclosing to its stockholders with respect to a
Takeover Proposal a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the
Exchange Act or from making any disclosure to the Company's stockholders if, in
the opinion of the Board of the Company (or the Special Committee), after
consultation with counsel, failure to so disclose would create a substantial
risk of liability for breach of its fiduciary duties to the Company's
stockholders under applicable law; provided, that the Company may not, except as
discussed above, withdraw or modify, or propose to withdraw or modify, its
position with respect to the Offer or the Merger or approve or recommend, or
propose to approve or recommend, a Takeover Proposal; provided, further, that
the taking of a position by the Company pursuant to Rule 14e-2(a)(2) or (3) of
the Exchange Act in respect of a Takeover Proposal shall not be deemed a
withdrawal, a modification, or a proposal to do either of its position with
respect to the Offer or the Merger.
 
     (b)(2) THE STOCKHOLDER AGREEMENT.
 
     Simultaneously with entering into the Merger Agreement, the Parent and the
Purchaser entered into a Stockholder Agreement (the "Stockholder Agreement")
with Chase Venture Capital Associates, L.P., CIBC Wood Gundy Ventures, Inc. and
Ronald D. Blum, O.D., Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary of the
Company (collectively the "Selling Stockholders"). The following summary of the
Stockholder Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Stockholder Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B and
incorporated herein by reference. Such Agreement should be read in its entirety
for a more complete understanding of its terms and provisions.
 
                                        4
<PAGE>   6
 
     Sale or Tender of Shares.  Pursuant to the Stockholder Agreement, each
Selling Stockholder has agreed to tender to the Purchaser, pursuant to the
Offer, or otherwise to sell to the Purchaser, in each case at a price of $13.75
per Share, all Shares beneficially owned by him or it (the "Subject Shares")
(representing an aggregate of 3,331,608 outstanding Shares, or approximately 37%
of the Shares outstanding as of February 10, 1997). Such obligation to tender or
sell is subject to the Purchaser having accepted Shares for payment under, and
subject to the conditions of, the Offer.
 
     Restrictions on Transfer.  Each of the Selling Stockholders has agreed,
until the Stockholder Agreement has terminated, among other things, not to: (i)
sell, transfer, give, pledge or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any
contract, option or other arrangement with respect to the sale, transfer,
pledge, assignment, or other disposition of, the Subject Shares owned by such
Selling Stockholder other than pursuant to the terms of the Offer or the Merger;
(ii) enter into any voting arrangement, whether by proxy, voting agreement or
otherwise, in connection with, directly or indirectly, any Takeover Proposal;
(iii) directly or indirectly solicit, initiate or encourage the submission of,
any Takeover Proposal; or (iv) directly or indirectly participate in any
discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any information
with respect to, or take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the
making of any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead
to, any Takeover Proposal; provided, that clause (iv) will not be deemed to have
been violated if in response to an unsolicited inquiry, the Selling Stockholder
states that he or it is subject to the provisions of the Stockholder Agreement.
 
     Voting Rights.  Each of the Selling Stockholders has also agreed, and the
Stockholder Agreement includes an irrevocable proxy provision for the benefit of
the Purchaser with respect to the Subject Shares owned by each Selling
Stockholder, to, until the Stockholder Agreement has terminated, vote such
Shares (i) at any meeting of stockholders of the Company called to vote upon the
Merger and the Merger Agreement or at any adjournment thereof or in any other
circumstances upon which a vote, consent or other approval (including by written
consent) with respect to the Merger and the Merger Agreement is sought, in favor
of the Merger, the adoption by the Company of the Merger Agreement and the
approval of the terms thereof and each of the other transactions contemplated by
the Merger Agreement; and (ii) at any meeting of stockholders of the Company or
at any adjournment thereof or in any other circumstances upon which a Selling
Stockholder's vote, consent or other approval is sought, against (x) any
Takeover Proposal or (y) any amendment of the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation or By-laws or other proposal or transaction involving the Company,
which amendment or other proposal or transaction would be reasonably likely to
impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify the Merger, the Merger Agreement or any of
the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or change in any
manner the voting rights of each class of the Company's Common Stock.
 
     Termination.  The Stockholder Agreement provides that it will terminate on
the date upon which the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its
terms, provided that a termination fee has not, or could not at any time in the
future, become payable under the Merger Agreement, in which case certain
provisions of the Stockholder Agreement, including those discussed below, shall
survive until such termination fee is paid.
 
     Payment by Stockholders.  The Stockholder Agreement provides that in the
event that the Merger Agreement shall have been terminated under circumstances
where the Parent is or may become entitled to receive a termination fee, each
Stockholder shall pay to the Parent on demand an amount equal to the difference
between the consideration received by such Stockholder from the consummation of
any transaction which gives rise to the Company's obligation to pay the
termination fee pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the consideration such
Stockholder would have received had he or it tendered the Subject Shares
pursuant to the Offer (without taking into account any modifications to the
Offer as in effect on the date hereof), as determined in accordance with the
Stockholder Agreement.
 
     In addition, the Stockholder Agreement provides that in the event that (x)
prior to the Effective Time, a Takeover Proposal shall have been made and (y)
the Effective Time shall have occurred and the Parent for any reason shall have
increased the amount of merger consideration payable over that set forth in the
Merger Agreement in effect on the date thereof (the "Original Merger
Consideration"), each Selling Stockholder
 
                                        5
<PAGE>   7
 
shall pay to the Parent on demand an amount in cash equal to the product of (i)
the number of Subject Shares owned by such Selling Stockholder and (ii) 100% of
the excess, if any, of (A) the per Share cash consideration or the per Share
fair market value of any noncash consideration, as the case may be, received by
such Selling Stockholder as a result of the Merger, as amended, determined as of
the Effective Time, over (B) the amount of the Original Merger Consideration
determined as of the time of the first increase in the amount of the Original
Merger Consideration.
 
     (b)(3) ARRANGEMENTS WITH EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS OR AFFILIATES OF THE
COMPANY AND CONFLICTS.
 
     Certain contracts, agreements, arrangements and understandings between the
Company and certain of its executive officers and directors are summarized in
the Information Statement attached hereto as Schedule I and incorporated herein
by reference under the Sections entitled "Executive Compensation" and "Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions."
 
     A summary of certain other contracts, agreements, arrangements and
understandings between the Company and its executive officers, directors and
affiliates and certain actual or potential conflicts are set forth below.
 
          (i) Stock Options. The current directors and executive officers of the
     Company as a group hold Company Stock Options granted under the Stock
     Option Plans to purchase an aggregate of 1,184,432.3 Shares at exercise
     prices ranging from $0.079 to $15.50 per Share. In accordance with the
     terms of the Merger Agreement, each holder of a Company Stock Option
     granted under the Stock Option Plans which is outstanding immediately prior
     to the consummation of the Offer, whether or not then exercisable, will be
     entitled, upon cancellation, to receive from the Company an amount in cash
     equal to the product of (x) the number of Shares subject to such Company
     Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the excess of
     the price per Share to be paid in the Offer over the per Share exercise
     price of such Company Stock Option. See ITEM 3(b)(1) "THE MERGER
     AGREEMENT -- Stock Option Plans and Warrants."
 
          (ii) Employment Agreements.  The Company is a party to employment
     agreements with certain of its executive officers, consisting of Dr. Ronald
     D. Blum, Dr. Amitava Gupta, Steven A. Bennington, Robert P. Padula, Sunder
     H. Malkani, Horace N. Hudson and Jo Ann Swasey. By operation of law, the
     employment agreements will become obligations of the Surviving Corporation
     after the Merger. Certain of these agreements provide for the payment of
     certain severance and other benefits upon termination of the officer's
     employment following a change in control of the Company.
 
          (iii) Noncompetition Agreements.  The Parent is a party to
     noncompetition agreements entered into in connection with the Merger with
     certain of the Company's key executive officers, consisting of Dr. Ronald
     D. Blum, Dr. Amitava Gupta, Steven A. Bennington, Robert P. Padula, Sunder
     H. Malkani, Horace N. Hudson and Jo Ann Swasey. Under these agreements,
     each such executive officer has agreed to not, for two years following the
     termination of such executive officer's employment, engage in certain
     specified activities relating to the Company or the Company's business.
     Pursuant to such non-competition agreements, if any such officer's
     employment with the Company is terminated without Cause (as defined in such
     agreements), the Company will continue to pay such officer through the end
     of such two-year period, in accordance with the Company's regular payroll
     practices, an amount equal to such officer's annual salary.
 
          (iv) Exculpation and Indemnification of Officers and Directors.  The
     Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that no director shall be
     personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages
     for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, notwithstanding any provision
     of law imposing such liability, provided that liability is not eliminated
     (A) for any breach of a director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its
     stockholders; (B) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
     intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (C) for actions
     covered under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
     "DGCL"); or (D) for any transaction from which the director derived an
     improper personal benefit.

          In addition, the Company's By-Laws provide that the Company shall
     indemnify directors, officers, employees or agents against liabilities
     incurred in their capacities as such if such director, officer, employee or
     agent acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in
     or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to
     any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
     conduct was unlawful. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or
     agent of the Company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in
     defense of any action, suit or proceeding, he shall be indemnified against
     expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
     him in connection therewith. Expenses incurred by an officer or director in
     defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the
     Company in advance of the final disposition thereof as authorized by the
     Company's Board upon receipt of an undertaking by such officer or director
     to repay such amount unless it is ultimately determined that such officer
     or director is entitled to indemnification. The indemnification provided by
     the Company's By-Laws is not exclusive. The Company may maintain insurance,
     at its expense, to protect itself and its directors, officers, employees or
     agents against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Company
     would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense,
     liability or loss under the DGCL. The Company currently maintains such
     insurance for its directors and executive officers.
 
          The Merger Agreement provides that the indemnification obligations set
     forth in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws on the date
     of the Merger Agreement shall survive the Merger and shall not be amended,
     repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years after the
     Effective Time. It is expected that the officers and directors of the
     Company will enter into reasonable indemnification agreements with the
     Company prior to the Effective Time. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger
     Agreement, such agreements shall become obligations of the Surviving
     Corporation and shall survive the Merger for a period of six years after
     the Effective Time.
 
          Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and subject to certain
     limitations, for a period of six years from the Effective Time, the Parent
     shall, unless the Parent agrees in writing to guarantee the indemnification
     obligations set forth in the preceding paragraph, provide officers' and
     directors' liability insurance covering those persons who are covered by
     the Company's existing officers' and directors' liability insurance policy
     or who become covered by such policy prior to the Effective Time. See ITEM
     3(b)(1) "THE MERGER AGREEMENT -- Agreements with Respect to Director and
     Officer Indemnification and Insurance."
 
     (v) Certain Payments.  Three significant stockholders of the Company have
indicated an agreement to pay to Dr. Ronald D. Blum, Chairman, Chief Executive
Officer and Secretary of the Company, an aggregate amount of approximately
$200,000 to compensate Dr. Blum for certain tax liabilities to be incurred by
him as a result of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated
thereby. The form and timing of such payment is subject to final agreement by
such parties.
 
ITEM 4.  THE SOLICITATION OR RECOMMENDATION.
 
     (a) RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. The Company's Board has
unanimously approved the Merger Agreement, the Offer and the transactions
contemplated thereby and unanimously recommends that all holders of Shares
tender such Shares pursuant to the Offer.
 
     (b) BACKGROUND; REASONS FOR BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION.
 
     Since February 1993, the Parent and the Company have from time to time
engaged in discussions and exchanges of information in an effort to examine
possible business arrangements.
 
     In August 1995, as part of a series of transactions aimed at providing the
Company with necessary financing, Johnson & Johnson Development Corporation
purchased $1,500,000 of preferred stock in the Company. In addition,
concurrently therewith, the Parent acquired an option (the "Option") to purchase
all of the outstanding capital stock of the Company at a net aggregate exercise
price of approximately $85 million. The Parent paid the Company $1,500,000 in
consideration for the grant of the Option. Due to certain business
 
                                        7
<PAGE>   9
 
considerations, the Parent did not exercise the Option, and pursuant to its
terms, the Option terminated on March 14, 1996 and the Parent was issued
additional preferred stock in lieu thereof.
 
     The Parent conducted due diligence investigations of the Company during the
fall and winter of 1995-1996 in connection with the Option, and the Parent,
Johnson & Johnson Vision Products, Inc. and the Company entered into a
Confidentiality Agreement (the "Confidentiality Agreement") in connection
therewith on November 27, 1995.
 
     As a result of transactions immediately preceding the Company's initial
public offering on March 14, 1996, the equity securities owned by the Parent and
its subsidiaries were converted into an aggregate of 474,515 Shares.
 
     On August 1, 1996 and January 31, 1997, respectively, the Confidentiality
Agreement was restated and amended, and the Parent thereafter conducted new due
diligence reviews of the Company in contemplation of a possible business
arrangement. During January 1997, the Parent decided to propose a transaction to
the Company whereby the Parent would acquire all the outstanding capital stock
of the Company for cash.
 
     On January 29, 1997, James R. Utaski, Vice President, Corporate Development
of the Parent, W. Ben Deibler, Vice President, New Business Development,
Worldwide Franchise Vistaken, a division of a subsidiary of the Parent, and
James R. Hilton, Assistant General Counsel of the Parent, met in New York with
Ronald D. Blum, O.D., Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary of the
Company, Damion E. Wicker, M.D., a director of the Company and a general partner
of the general partner of Chase Venture Capital Associates, L.P., Ian M. Kidson,
a director of the Company and a Managing Director of CIBC Wood Gundy Securities
Inc., and counsel to the Company. At the meeting, Messrs. Utaski, Deibler and
Hilton expressed the Parent's serious interest in exploring an acquisition of
the Company and proposed general parameters pursuant to which the Parent would
be willing to proceed with such a transaction. The representatives of the
Company expressed the Company's interest in proceeding with discussions.
 
     On January 30, 1997, the same parties continued negotiations by telephone
conference.
 
     On February 2, 1997, the same parties other than Mr. Hilton met again in
New York. Mr. Deibler indicated that the Parent was prepared to proceed with an
acquisition of the Company valued between approximately $130 and $134 million,
subject to the accuracy of certain assumptions (including the amount of cash and
equivalents and usable net operating loss carryforwards) and subject to
completion of due diligence and the negotiation of definitive agreements. On
this basis, Dr. Blum agreed on behalf of the Company to move forward to consider
whether to effect a transaction with the Parent.
 
     Following the February 2, 1997 meeting, the Parent began a new extensive
due diligence review of the Company. Also, on February 2, 1997, the Company's
Board resolved to create the Special Committee to explore various strategic
alternatives for the Company, including a possible transaction with the Parent.
 
     On February 5, 1997, Messrs. Utaski and Deibler met in New York with
counsel for the Parent and the Company, Michael B. Packard and Gregory J.
Forrest, each a director of the Company and a member of the Special Committee,
counsel to the Special Committee and representatives of Prudential Securities
Incorporated ("Prudential Securities"). The Parent's representatives confirmed
that it was a condition to the Parent's willingness to enter into an agreement
to acquire the Company that there be an agreement along the lines of the
Stockholder Agreement and that there be certain other provisions in the event of
the termination of the Merger Agreement by the Company in connection with a
competing transaction. The members of the Special Committee and their
representatives discussed with the Parent and its representatives the details of
such provisions as well as certain other provisions of the draft documents that
had been circulated.
 
     Between February 5, 1997 and February 10, 1997, the Parent, the Company,
the Special Committee and their respective representatives had several internal
discussions and continued negotiations with respect to the price, the amount and
terms of the termination fee and other details of the transaction. On February
9, 1997, the Special Committee met with its counsel, representatives of
Prudential Securities and Company counsel and reviewed and discussed the
proposed transaction, including drafts of the Merger Agreement and related
documents. After various proposals and counterproposals, these negotiations
culminated in the Special Committee recommending to the Company's Board during
its meeting on February 10, 1997 the Parent's
 
                                        8
<PAGE>   10
 
proposed price of $13.75 per Share and forms of definitive agreements, and the
Company and the Parent agreeing on such price and documentation. The Company's
full Board met midday on Monday, February 10, 1997. Following a presentation of
Prudential Securities, the Company's receipt of the fairness opinion from
Prudential Securities and discussions with counsel to the Company and to the
Special Committee concerning the terms of the Offer and the Merger and the
fiduciary duties of the Company's directors, the Special Committee met
separately and determined to recommend to the full Board approval of the
proposed transaction. Thereafter, the full Board reconvened and, after receiving
the Special Committee's recommendation, approved the transaction. The Parent's
Board of Directors also met Monday, February 10, 1997 during which meeting the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Stockholder Agreement
were approved. Following these approvals, the Merger Agreement and the
Stockholder Agreement were executed, and the transaction was publicly announced
before financial markets opened on February 11, 1997.
 
     A copy of the joint press release announcing the execution of the Merger
Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit C and incorporated herein by reference.
A copy of a letter to stockholders of the Company from Dr. Ronald D. Blum, which
is enclosed with this Schedule 14D-9, is attached hereto as Exhibit D and
incorporated herein by reference.
 
     In approving the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated
thereby, and recommending that all holders of Shares tender their Shares
pursuant to the Offer, the Company's Board considered a number of factors,
including:
 
          1) the financial and other terms of the Offer and the Merger Agreement
     and the absence of any competing, superior proposal to acquire the Company;
 
          2) that the $13.75 per Share tender offer price represents a premium
     of approximately 53% over the closing price of the Shares on the Nasdaq
     National Market ("NNM") on February 7, 1997, the last full trading day
     prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement;
 
          3) recent trading prices of the Shares on the NNM, including the fact
     that the Shares have never traded at or above the $13.75 Offer price;
 
          4) that the Special Committee, following discussions with its special
     counsel and Prudential Securities, unanimously recommended approval of the
     Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby;
 
          5) that the termination provisions of the Merger Agreement, and the
     related provision allowing the Company to respond, subject to certain
     conditions, to unsolicited proposals concerning an acquisition of the
     Company, permit the Company, subject to certain conditions, to terminate
     the Merger Agreement upon payment to the Parent of a break-up fee of $6.25
     million, plus up to $500,000 in reimbursement of expenses, in the event
     that the Board decides to withdraw its recommendation that stockholders
     accept the Offer and approve the Merger Agreement after determining that
     failure to do so would create a substantial risk of liability for breach of
     its fiduciary duties under applicable law (see ITEM 3(b)(1) above);
 
          6) information provided by Company management regarding the financial
     condition, results of operations, business and prospects of the Company,
     including the prospects if the Company were to remain independent;
 
          7) the terms of the Stockholder Agreement, which provide that the
     Selling Stockholders thereunder would receive the same consideration per
     Share as would all other holders of Shares, thereby ensuring that the
     public stockholders would participate in any control premium realized in
     connection with the Offer and the Merger;
 
          8) the written opinion of Prudential Securities dated February 10,
     1997 that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the matters set
     forth therein, the cash consideration to be received by the holders of the
     Shares in the Offer and the Merger is fair from a financial point of view
     to such holders. A copy of the opinion of Prudential Securities is attached
     hereto as Schedule II and incorporated herein by reference. STOCKHOLDERS
     ARE URGED TO READ THE OPINION OF PRUDENTIAL SECURITIES CAREFULLY IN ITS
     ENTIRETY;
 
                                        9
<PAGE>   11
 
          9) the ability of the Purchaser to consummate the Offer and the Merger
     without conditioning the Offer on obtaining any specific financing
     commitments;
 
          10) a review and discussion of the viability and associated costs of
     certain Company product development activity; and
 
          11) the familiarity of the Board with the business, results of
     operations, properties and financial condition of the Company and the
     nature of the industry in which it operates.
 
     The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered and
given weight by the Board is not intended to be exhaustive. In view of the
variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Merger
Agreement and the Offer, the Board did not find it practicable to, and did not,
quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors considered
in reaching its determination. In addition, individual members of the Board may
have afforded different weights to different factors.
 
ITEM 5.  PERSONS RETAINED, EMPLOYED OR TO BE COMPENSATED.
 
     Prudential Securities has been retained by the Company to act as financial
advisor to the Company with respect to the Offer, the Merger and matters arising
in connection therewith. Pursuant to a letter agreement dated February 4, 1997
between the Company and Prudential Securities (the "Letter Agreement"), the
Company has agreed to pay Prudential Securities a fee (the "Transaction Fee")of
$600,000 upon the purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer. Prudential
Securities was paid a fee of $50,000 upon execution of the Letter Agreement.
Such fee will be credited against the Transaction Fee, if any, to be paid to
Prudential Securities by the Company pursuant to the Letter Agreement. The
Company has agreed to pay Prudential Securities a total fee (including any
amounts paid prior thereto) in an amount equal to 0.75% of the total
consideration paid in any Transaction (as defined in the Letter Agreement) if
the Company requests in writing that Prudential Securities contact and/or
negotiate with bidders other than the Parent (regardless of whether a
Transaction is consummated with any such other bidders or the Parent). Any such
request by the Company would be subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement
discussed above in ITEM 3(b)(1) "MERGER AGREEMENT -- No Solicitation;
Termination Fee." The Company has also agreed to reimburse Prudential Securities
for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including the fees and expenses of
its counsel, and to indemnify Prudential securities for certain liabilities
arising out of its engagement, including liabilities arising under the Federal
securities laws.
 
     In the ordinary course of its business, Prudential Securities may trade the
Shares for its own account and for the accounts of customers and, accordingly,
may at any time hold a long or short position in the Shares.
 
     Except as disclosed herein or in the Offer to Purchase, neither the Company
nor any person acting on its behalf currently intends to employ, retain or
compensate any other person to make solicitations or recommendations to security
holders on its behalf concerning the Offer or the Merger.
 
ITEM 6.  RECENT TRANSACTIONS AND INTENT WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES.
 
     (A) SHARE TRANSACTIONS IN LAST 60 DAYS.  During the past 60 days, no
transactions in Shares have been effected by the Company or, to the Company's
knowledge, by any executive officer, director or affiliate of the Company.
 
     (B) INTENT TO TENDER.  To the Company's knowledge, to the extent permitted
by applicable securities laws, rules or regulations, except for any gifts of
Shares to family members or charitable organizations, and except as provided by
the Stockholder Agreement, each of the Company's executive officers and
directors currently intends to tender all Shares over which he or she has sole
dispositive power to the Purchaser.
 
ITEM 7.  CERTAIN NEGOTIATIONS AND TRANSACTIONS BY THE SUBJECT COMPANY.
 
     (A) CERTAIN NEGOTIATIONS.  Except as described in this Schedule 14D-9, no
negotiation is being undertaken or is underway by the Company in response to the
Offer which relates to or would result in
 
                                       10
<PAGE>   12
 
(i) an extraordinary transaction, such as a merger or reorganization, involving
the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, (ii) a purchase, sale or transfer
of a material amount of assets by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company,
(iii) a tender offer for or other acquisition of securities by or of the Company
or (iv) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of
the Company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, however, and as described above
under ITEM 3 "MERGER AGREEMENT -- No Solitation; Termination Fee," the Company
may, subject to certain prescribed limitations, take certain actions in respect
of proposed transactions which the failure to take would create a substantial
risk of liability for breach of its directors' fiduciary duties to stockholders
under applicable law.
 
     (B) CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS.  Except as described in ITEMS 3(b) or 4(b) above,
there are no transactions, Company Board resolutions, agreements in principle or
signed contracts in response to the Offer which relate to or would result in one
or more of the matters referred to in ITEM 7(a) above.
 
ITEM 8.  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO BE FURNISHED.
 
     The Information Statement attached as Schedule I hereto is being furnished
in connection with the possible designation by the Purchaser, pursuant to the
Merger Agreement, of certain persons to be appointed to the Board of the Company
other than at a meeting of the Company's stockholders.

     This Information Statement is being mailed on or about February 18, 1997 as
part of the Solicitation/ Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (the
"Schedule 14D-9") of Innotech, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), to
holders of record of shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, of the
Company (the "Shares") at the close of business on or about February 13, 1997.
You are receiving this Information Statement in connection with the possible
election or appointment of persons designated by INO Acquisition Corp., a
Delaware corporation (the "Purchaser"), to a majority of the seats on the Board
of Directors of the Company.
 
     On February 10, 1997, the Company, the Purchaser and Johnson & Johnson, a
New Jersey corporation (the "Parent"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the "Merger Agreement") in accordance with the terms and subject to the
conditions of which (i) the Parent will cause the Purchaser to commence a tender
offer (the "Offer") for all outstanding Shares at a price of $13.75 per Share,
net to the seller in cash, and (ii) the Purchaser will be merged with and into
the Company (the "Merger"). As a result of the Offer and the Merger, the Company
will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent. In addition, on February

INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
 
     The Board of Directors met five times during fiscal year 1996, which ended
on December 31, 1996. The Board's Nominating Committee held no meetings during
fiscal year 1996. The primary function of the Nominating Committee is to make
recommendations to the Board concerning the selection of nominees for election
as directors. The Nominating Committee considers candidates suggested by
directors and stockholders of the Company in accordance with the Company's
By-Laws. Nominations by stockholders, properly submitted in writing to the
Secretary of the Company, are referred to the Nominating Committee for
consideration. The Nominating Committee will not review the selection of the
Purchaser Designees. The Board's Special Committee was formed in February 1997
and therefore did not meet during fiscal year 1996. The primary function of the
Special Committee is to review and evaluate strategic alternatives for the
Company, including but not limited to the Merger and possible alternative
transactions. The Board's Audit Committee held no meetings during fiscal year
1996. The primary function of the Audit Committee is to oversee the actions
taken by the Company's independent auditors and to review the Company's internal
financial and accounting controls and policies. The Board's Compensation
Committee met informally on several occasions and acted by written consent on
four occasions during fiscal year 1996. The primary function of the Compensation
Committee is to determine salaries, incentives and other forms of compensation
for executive officers and other employees of the Company and to administer the
incentive compensation, stock option and other benefit plans of the Company.
During fiscal year 1996, all members of the current Board, except for Mr.
Kidson, attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board of
Directors and the committees thereof on which they served during the time they
served on the Board of Directors and the committees thereof.
 
     Members of the Company's Board of Directors do not receive compensation for
their services as directors, but directors are reimbursed for certain expenses
in connection with attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors and
committees. Non-employee directors of the Company may participate in the
Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "Directors' Plan"). The Directors' Plan
provides for the automatic grant of stock options to purchase 5,000 shares of
Common Stock on the date on which the stockholders of the Company elect
directors at an annual meeting. The exercise price for such stock options is the
fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant, and such stock
options are exercisable beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant,
provided that the director receiving such options has not voluntarily resigned
or been removed "for cause" as a member of the Board of Directors prior to such
date. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, all outstanding stock options (whether
or not exercisable) granted under the Directors' Plan will be cancelled
immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Merger for a cash payment equal to
the product of (x) the number of shares subject to stock options under such Plan
and (y) the excess of the price per Share to be paid in the Offer over the per
Share exercise prices for such stock options. Mr. Kidson has indicated to the
Company that he intends to assign to CIBC the proceeds to be paid in connection
with the Merger upon the cancellation or conversion of his stock options granted
under the Directors' Plan.
 
     There are no family relationships among any of the directors or executive
officers of the Company.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND TERMINATION ARRANGEMENTS
 
     The Company has entered into employment agreements with Drs. Blum and Gupta
and Messrs. Bennington, Malkani and Padula. Each of the employment agreements
provides for the officer's employment in his current position(s) through the
respective dates set forth below, subject to earlier termination by the Company
or the executive officer. The terms of employment for Drs. Blum and Gupta expire
on August 31, 1998, the term of employment for Mr. Bennington expires on August
13, 1998, the term of employment for Mr. Malkani expires on October 2, 1997, and
the term of employment for Mr. Padula expires on November 30, 1997. The terms of
such agreements (except Mr. Malkani's agreement) will be extended automatically
each year for an additional one-year period unless the executive officer or the
Company provides notice that he or it does not desire to extend the term.
Pursuant to their respective employment agreements, Dr. Blum receives an annual
base salary of $190,000, Dr. Gupta receives an annual base salary of $205,000,
Mr. Bennington receives an annual base salary of $175,000, Mr. Malkani receives
an annual base salary of $115,000, and Mr. Padula receives an annual base salary
of $145,000. Until December 31, 1996, the Company reimbursed Dr. Gupta for
certain housing expenses up to $14,000 per year. In addition, the Company
reimburses Mr. Malkani for certain housing expenses. Certain of such employment
agreements provide that the officer will receive specified bonuses, stock option
awards and other employee benefits, as the case may be.
 
     Under Dr. Blum's employment agreement, the Company has agreed to use its
best efforts to cause the election of Dr. Blum to the Board until such time as
he no longer owns 10% of the Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis and he no
longer is an officer of the Company. Also, the Company has agreed to make
available not less than $250,000 per year during the term of his employment for
research and development activities, as determined by Dr. Blum, on behalf of the
Company.
 
                                       I-8

     Each of the foregoing employment agreements provides for certain payments
upon termination of the officer's employment as a result of a material breach by
the Company of the officer's employment agreement or a termination by the
Company without Cause (as defined in the employment agreements). A material
breach by the Company of the employment agreements includes a material change in
the officer's responsibilities. In such event, Dr. Blum would be entitled to
receive a lump-sum payment equal to $190,000, payments of annual base salary for
the longer of 12 months and the unexpired portion of the employment term and a
lump-sum equal to $20,833 multiplied by the number of full or partial months
comprising the unexpired portion of the employment term. Dr. Gupta would be
entitled to receive severance payments of annual base salary for the longer of
12 months and the unexpired portion of the employment term, plus a pro rata
portion of bonus accrued through the date of termination. Mr. Bennington would
be entitled to receive severance payments of annual base salary for the longer
of 12 months and the unexpired portion of the employment term, plus a pro rata
portion of bonus accrued through the date of termination. Mr. Malkani would be
entitled to receive severance payments amounting to 6 months of his annual base
salary, plus a pro rata portion of bonus accrued through the date of
termination. Mr. Padula would be entitled to severance payments amounting to 12
months of his annual base salary, plus a pro rata portion of bonus accrued
through the date of termination. In addition, certain stock options held by each
of the Named Executive Officers will become immediately exercisable upon
termination of such Named Executive Officer's employment, subject to certain
conditions.
 
     The Company has obtained key man life insurance in the aggregate amounts of
$2,500,000, $2,250,000 and $250,000 on the lives of Drs. Blum and Gupta and Mr.
Bennington, respectively. The Company's lenders are the named beneficiaries for
such insurance in the aggregate amount of $4,250,000. In addition, the Company
pays the premiums for term life insurance policies which are owned by Dr. Gupta
and Messrs. Bennington, Malkani and Padula, and for a disability policy which is
owned by Dr. Blum.
 
     The commencement of the Offer and/or the Merger will constitute a change in
control under certain of the Company's stock option plans and stock option
agreements. Upon a change of control, as defined in such stock option plans and
agreements, stock options under such plans and agreements will become fully
vested, subject to the other terms of the applicable stock option plans and
agreements.

group selected by the Company, weighted by market capitalization. The peer group
consists of the following ophthalmic companies: BEC Group Inc., Bausch & Lomb
Incorporated, Corning Incorporated, De Rigo S.p.A., Gerber Scientific Inc. and
Sola International Inc. The graph assumes that an investment of $100 was made on
March 15, 1996, in the Company, the Index and the peer group. Although the
Company believes it has chosen a peer group containing companies whose
businesses are comparable to the Company's primary business segment, ophthalmic
products, certain companies in such group are engaged in businesses other than
the ophthalmic products business and such other businesses may provide a large
portion of such companies' revenues and earnings. In addition, such companies
have been engaged in the ophthalmic products business for a significantly longer
period of time than the Company.

                     PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES
 
     The following table sets forth, as of the close of business on February 14,
1997, the beneficial ownership of Common Stock by (a) any person who is known by
the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than five (5%) percent of any
class of voting securities of the Company (based upon information in any
Schedules 13D or Schedules 13G, as amended, furnished by such persons), (b) each
director of the Company, (c) each Named Executive Officer and (d) all directors
and current executive officers of the Company as a group (based upon information
furnished by such persons on or prior to such date). Beneficial ownership has
been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. Under this Rule, certain Shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned
by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the
power to dispose of the Shares). In addition, Shares are deemed to be
beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the Shares
(for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which
the information is provided, and in computing the percentage ownership of any
person, the amount of Shares is deemed to include the amount of Shares
beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these
acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding Shares of any
person as shown in the following table does not necessarily reflect the person's
actual voting power at any particular date. The address of all directors of the
Company and the Named Executive Officers is in care of Innotech, Inc., 5568
Airport Road, Roanoke, Virginia 24012.

                         COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
 
     The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation
Committee"), consisting entirely of non-employee directors, approves all of the
policies and programs pursuant to which compensation is paid or awarded to the
Company's executive officers. The Compensation Committee met informally on
several occasions and acted by unanimous written consent on four occasions
during fiscal year 1996.
 
     GENERAL POLICIES REGARDING COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.  The
Company's executive compensation policies are intended to (a) attract and retain
high quality managerial and executive talent and to motivate these individuals
to maximize stockholder returns, (b) afford appropriate incentives for
executives to produce sustained superior performance and (c) reward executives
for superior individual contributions to the achievement of the Company's
business objectives. The Company's compensation structure consists of base
salary, annual cash bonuses and stock options. Together these components are
intended to link each executive's compensation to his/her individual performance
and the Company's overall performance.
 
     Salary.  Base salary levels are intended to reflect individual positions,
responsibilities, experience, leadership and potential contribution to the
success of the Company. Actual salaries vary based upon the Compensation
Committee's subjective assessment of the individual executive's performance and
of the Company's performance. Each executive officer has entered into an
employment agreement with the Company which sets forth the base salary for such
executive officer.
 
     Bonuses.  Executive officers are eligible to receive annual bonuses based
upon the achievement of certain objective and subjective performance goals which
the Compensation Committee establishes annually under the Company's Management
Incentive Compensation Plan. The performance goals for each executive officer
are established based upon the executive officer's responsibilities within the
Company. For fiscal year 1996, the Compensation Committee established that the
maximum bonus that an executive officer could receive for that year was 30% of
the executive officer's base salary at the end of the year.
 
     Stock Options.  Stock options, which are granted at or above the fair
market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant, are currently the
only long-term compensation vehicle utilized by the Company. Stock options are
intended to provide employees with sufficient incentive to manage from the
perspective of an owner with an equity stake in the business. In determining the
size of individual stock option grants, the Compensation Committee considers the
aggregate number of shares available for grant and the number of individuals to
be considered for an award of stock options. The number, timing, length and
vesting provisions of stock option grants to executive officers are decided by
the Compensation Committee based upon its subjective assessment of the
performance of each grantee. In determining such terms of stock option grants,
the Compensation Committee considers the position and responsibilities of the
executive officer, the length of service of the executive officer with the
Company, the present and potential contribution of the executive officer to the
Company and the overall performance of the Company. The Compensation Committee
believes that grants of stock options will enable the Company to attract and
retain high caliber talent and to encourage a high level of performance.
 
     COMPENSATION OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER FOR FISCAL YEAR 1996.  The
Compensation Committee approved an amendment to Dr. Blum's employment agreement
in October 1996. The amendment increased Dr. Blum's base salary by $15,000 to
$190,000. The amendment was one of several such amendments authorized by the
Compensation Committee to employment agreements to increase the base salaries of
certain executive officers of the Company. The Compensation Committee authorized
these increases to reflect cost of living adjustments for such executive
officers and to reflect the increased responsibilities of such executive
officers in connection with the Company's growth.
 
     In addition to his base salary, the Compensation Committee awarded Dr. Blum
a performance bonus of $52,155 for fiscal year 1996. This performance bonus was
based upon Dr. Blum's achievement of the objective performance goals which the
Compensation Committee established for him. These performance goals established
for Dr. Blum were based upon a weighted average of financial, sales and stock
price objectives, achievement of commercialization of certain products,
formation of certain strategic alliances and achievement of a reduction in
certain production costs.
 
                                      I-13
<PAGE>   28
 
     In October 1996, the Compensation Committee awarded Dr. Blum stock options
to purchase 75,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $9.00 per
share. At the time stock options were granted to Dr. Blum, stock options were
granted to almost all other executive officers of the Company. The number of
shares underlying each such option grant and the vesting of such stock options
were determined based upon the responsibilities of the executive officer and the
executive officer's length of service with the Company. In Dr. Blum's case,
these stock options were also granted in recognition of Dr. Blum's efforts in
connection with the successful completion of the Company's initial public
offering in March 1996, which strengthened the Company's financial position.
 
     Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, generally
limits deductions to public companies for Federal income tax purposes for
certain executive compensation in excess of $1 million paid to the Named
Executive Officers. Qualifying performance-based compensation and compensation
paid pursuant to plans adopted prior to a company's public offering of
securities, including, in the case of the Company, Base Stock Options and
Success Stock Options, will not be subject to the deduction limitation if
certain requirements are met. In addition, certain types of compensation are
deductible only if performance criteria are specified in detail and payments are
contingent upon stockholder approval of the compensation arrangement. The
compensation paid by the Company for fiscal year 1996 to the Named Executives
did not exceed such $1 million limitation.

     COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION.  The
Compensation Committee conducted deliberations concerning executive compensation
during the last completed fiscal year. None of the Compensation Committee
members are executive officers of the Company. None of the executive officers of
the Company has served on the board of directors or on the compensation
committee of any other entity, any of whose officers served on the Board.
 
            SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
 
     As a public company, the Company's directors, executive officers and more
than 10% beneficial owners are subject to the reporting requirements of Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based solely upon a review of
Forms 3, 4, and 5, and amendments thereto, furnished to the Company during or
for fiscal year 1996, or written representations from such persons that no Forms
5 were required, the requirements of Section 16(a) were compiled with, except
that Dr. Wicker filed late his Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership of
Securities on Form 3, and Drs. Blum and Gupta and Mr. Padula each filed late one
Statement of Changes of Beneficial Ownership of Securities on Form 4, during
fiscal year 1996.
 
                 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
     Effective July 19, 1996, the Company and Dr. Blum entered into a Put/Call
Agreement. This Agreement provided for the sale by Dr. Blum and his permitted
assigns to the Company and for the purchase by the Company from Dr. Blum of an
aggregate of 85,000 Shares. The exercise price for the put and call under such
Agreement was $9.81 per Share. The Put/Call Agreement was scheduled to expire on
September 10, 1997. The Board of Directors of the Company terminated the
Put/Call Agreement on February 10, 1997. However, the Board of Directors
terminated such Agreement because it believed that the Company's liquidity could
be adversely affected in the event that the Merger failed to occur, the stock
price of the Common Stock decreased and the put to the Company under such
Agreement were exercised by Dr. Blum.
 
     In fiscal year 1996, CVCA exercised warrants to purchase an aggregate of
881,664 Shares for an aggregate exercise price of $6,965, Dr. Blum exercised
warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,131
 
                                      I-14
<PAGE>   29
 
Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $89, and Mr. Padula exercised warrants
to purchase an aggregate of 566 Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $44.
 
     On October 15, 1996, the Company consummated the purchase of a warrant (the
"Prism Warrant") to acquire 15% of the outstanding units of Prism Ophthalmics
L.L.C. ("Prism") and the purchase of an option (the "Prism Option") to acquire
all of the outstanding equity interests of Prism. Prism is a newly created
entity which owns a United States patent and has filed two patent applications
for lenses which are surgically implanted in the eye and are designed to improve
central field loss, a cause of blindness. The Company paid to Prism a purchase
price of $1,165,000 for the Prism Warrant, which is exercisable at any time on
or before December 31, 2001, at an exercise price of $150. The purchase price
for the Prism Option was $400,000, and, if exercised, will require the payment
of $5,000,000 for the acquisition by the Company of all of the outstanding
equity interests of Prism. The exercise of the Prism Option is not conditioned
upon the exercise of the Prism Warrant. The purchase price for the Prism Option
and the Prism Warrant is required to be used solely by Prism for development and
commercialization of Prism's proprietary technology. Dr. Gupta, the Executive
Vice President of Engineering, Research and Development, and a director of the
Company, and his wife are the owners of approximately 46% of the outstanding
units of Prism. The Company permits Dr. Gupta to allocate approximately 20% of
his business time to the operations of Prism. Under the terms of the Merger
Agreement, the Company may not exercise the Prism Option without the Parent's
consent until the earlier of the termination of the Merger Agreement and the
Effective Time.
 
     In connection with the Merger, Dr. Blum, CVCA, CIBC, the Parent and the
Purchaser entered into a Stockholder Agreement, dated as of February 10, 1997
(the "Stockholder Agreement"). Pursuant to the Stockholder Agreement, each of
CVCA, CIBC and Dr. Blum has agreed to sell, and the Purchaser has agreed to
purchase, all 3,331,608 Shares owned by them, representing approximately 37% of
the outstanding Shares, at a price per Share equal to $13.75. Such obligations
to sell and to purchase are subject to the Purchaser having accepted Shares for
payment under, and subject to the conditions of, the Offer. The Stockholder
Agreement also provides that each of CVCA, CIBC and Dr. Blum may, and at the
request of the Purchaser will, tender its or his Shares subject to the
Stockholder Agreement in the Offer. Any Shares owned by CVCA, CIBC or Dr. Blum
not purchased in the Offer will be purchased at the same time as payment is made
pursuant to the Offer.
 
     Pursuant to the Stockholder Agreement, each of CVCA, CIBC and Dr. Blum has
agreed, until the Stockholder Agreement has terminated, among other things, not
to: (a) sell, transfer, give, pledge or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any
contract, option or other arrangement with respect to the sale, transfer,
pledge, assignment or other disposition of, the Shares subject to the
Stockholder Agreement owned by such party other than pursuant to the terms of
the Offer or the Merger; (b) enter into any voting arrangement, whether by
proxy, voting agreement or otherwise, in connection with, directly or
indirectly, any Takeover Proposal (as defined in the Stockholder Agreement); (c)
directly or indirectly solicit, initiate or encourage the submission of, any
Takeover Proposal; or (d) directly or indirectly participate in any discussions
or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any information with respect
to, or take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any
proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any
Takeover Proposal; provided, that clause (d) will not be deemed to have been
violated if in response to an unsolicited inquiry, such party states that it or
he is subject to the provisions of the Stockholder Agreement. The Stockholder
Agreement, by reference to the Merger Agreement, defines "Takeover Proposal" as
any proposal or offer from any person relating to any direct or indirect
acquisition or purchase of 20% or more of the assets of the Company or 20% or
more of any class of outstanding equity securities of the Company, any tender
offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any person
beneficially owning 20% or more of any class of equity securities of the Company
or any merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of substantially all
the assets, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction
involving the Company, other than the transactions contemplated by Merger
Agreement.
 
     Each of CVCA, CIBC and Dr. Blum has also agreed, and the Stockholder
Agreement includes an irrevocable proxy provision for the benefit of the
Purchaser with respect to the Shares subject to the Stockholder Agreement owned
by such party, to, until the Stockholder Agreement has terminated, vote such
Shares (a) at any meeting of stockholders of the Company called to vote upon the
Merger and the Merger
 
                                      I-15
<PAGE>   30
 
Agreement or at any adjournment thereof or in any other circumstances upon which
a vote, consent or other approval (including by written consent) with respect to
the Merger and the Merger Agreement is sought, in favor of the Merger, the
adoption by the Company of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the terms
thereof and each of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement
and (b) at any meeting of stockholders of the Company or any adjournment thereof
or in any other circumstances upon which such party's vote, consent or other
approval is sought, against (x) any Takeover Proposal or (y) any amendment of
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws or other proposal or
transaction involving the Company, which amendment or other proposal or
transaction would be reasonably likely to impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify
the Merger, the Merger Agreement or any of the other transactions contemplated
by the Merger Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of each class
of the Common Stock.
 
     The Stockholder Agreement provides that in the event that the Merger
Agreement has been terminated under circumstances where the Parent is or may
become entitled to receive the Termination Fee (as defined in the Stockholder
Agreement), each of CVCA, CIBC and Dr. Blum will pay to the Parent on demand an
amount equal to the difference between the consideration received by such party
from the consummation of any transaction which gives rise to the Company's
obligation to pay the Termination Fee pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the
consideration such party would have received had it or he tendered its or his
Shares pursuant to the Offer (without taking into account any modifications to
the Offer as in effect on February 18, 1997), as determined in accordance with
the Stockholder Agreement. The Stockholder Agreement, by reference to the Merger
Agreement, defines "Termination Fee" as a fee equal to $6.25 million plus up to
$500,000 in reimbursement of expenses payable by the Company to Parent in the
event the Merger Agreement is terminated by the Parent or the Company under
certain circumstances.
 
     In addition, in the event that (a) prior to the Effective Time, a Takeover
Proposal has been made and (b) the Effective Time has occurred and the Parent
for any reason has increased the amount of the per Share price payable in the
Offer in cash, without interest, over that set forth in the Merger Agreement in
effect on the date thereof (the "Original Merger Consideration"), each of CVCA,
CIBC and Dr. Blum agrees in the Stockholder Agreement to pay to the Parent on
demand an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the number of Shares of
such party subject to the Stockholder Agreement and (ii) 100% of the excess, if
any, of (A) the per Share cash consideration or the per Share fair market value
of any noncash consideration, as the case may be, received by such party as a
result of the Merger, as amended, determined as of the Effective Time, over (B)
the amount of the Original Merger Consideration determined as of the time of the
first increase in the amount of the Original Merger Consideration.

Board of Directors
Innotech, Inc.
5568 Airport Road
Roanoke, Virginia 24012
 
Members of the Board:
 
     We understand that Johnson & Johnson, a New Jersey corporation ("Parent"),
INO Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Parent ("Sub"), and Innotech, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
propose to enter into an agreement and plan of merger (the "Agreement") pursuant
to which Parent will cause Sub to commence a tender offer (the "Offer") to
purchase all of the outstanding shares (the "Shares") of common stock, par value
$0.001 per share, of the Company for $13.75 per Share, net to the sellers in
cash. As a condition to the purchase of Shares by Sub pursuant to the Offer (i)
a majority of the currently outstanding Shares; and (ii) a majority of the
Shares, on a fully diluted basis, must be validly tendered in the Offer and not
withdrawn. Following consummation of the Offer, Sub will merge with and into the
Company (the "Merger") and any Shares not purchased in the Offer will be
converted into the right to receive $13.75 in cash. We further understand that
concurrently with the execution of the Agreement, Parent, Sub and certain
stockholders of the Company propose to enter into a stockholder agreement (the
"Stockholder Agreement") pursuant to which such stockholders will, among other
things, agree to sell their Shares to Sub for $13.75 per Share, or such higher
price per Share as may be offered by Sub in the Offer.
 
     You have requested our opinion as to the fairness from a financial point of
view to the stockholders of the Company of the cash consideration to be received
by such stockholders in the Offer and the Merger.
 
     In conducting our analysis and arriving at the opinion expressed herein, we
have reviewed such materials and considered such financial and other factors we
deemed relevant under the circumstances, including:

     We have, with your approval, assumed that the foregoing agreements when
executed by the parties thereto, will conform in all material respects to the
drafts of such agreements which we reviewed.
 
     We have met with members of the senior management of the Company to discuss
(i) the prospects for the Company's business including management's view as to
the value of the Company's product development efforts, (ii) management's
estimate of the Company's future financial performance and (iii) such other
matters we deemed relevant.
 
     In connection with our review and analysis and in arriving at our opinion,
we have relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the financial and other
information provided to us by the Company and have not undertaken any
independent verification of such information or undertaken an independent
appraisal of the assets of the Company. With respect to the financial forecasts
provided to us by the Company including management's view as to the value of the
Company's product development efforts, we have assumed that such forecasts have
been reasonably prepared and represent management's best currently available
estimate as to the future financial performance of the Company and such product
development efforts. Further, our opinion is necessarily based on economic,
financial and market conditions as they exist and can be evaluated as of the
date hereof and we assume no responsibility to update or revise this opinion
based upon events or circumstances occurring after the date hereof.
 
     We were retained by the Company pursuant to a letter agreement dated
February 4, 1997 to render this opinion to the Board of Directors and provide
other financial advisory services in connection with the Offer and the Merger.
We were not requested to, nor did we, solicit indications of interest from third
parties to merge with or otherwise acquire the Company. We have received a
retainer fee for our services, and will receive an additional advisory fee which
is contingent upon the consummation of the Offer. In addition, in the ordinary
course of business Prudential Securities Incorporated may trade Shares for its
own account and for the accounts of customers and, accordingly, may at any time
hold a long or short position in the Shares.
 
     This letter and the opinion expressed herein are for the use of the Board
of Directors of the Company. This opinion does not constitute a recommendation
to the stockholders of the Company as to whether such stockholders should tender
their Shares in the Offer or vote in favor of the Merger. This opinion may not
be reproduced, summarized, excerpted from or otherwise publicly referred to or
disclosed in any manner, without our prior written consent, except that the
Company may include this opinion in its entirety in any disclosure document to
be sent to the Company's stockholders or filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission relating to the Offer or the Merger.
 
     Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, as of
the date hereof, the cash consideration to be received by the stockholders of
the Company in the Offer and the Merger is fair from a financial point of view
to such stockholders.
 
                                          Very truly yours,
 
                                          /s/ Prudential Securities Incorporated

                                [INNOTECH LOGO]
                                                               February 18, 1997
 
Dear Stockholder:
 
     We are pleased to inform you that on February 10, 1997, Innotech, Inc.
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Johnson & Johnson and INO
Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, which
provides for the acquisition of all of the Common Stock of Innotech at a price
of $13.75 per share, payable in cash. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement,
on February 18, 1997, INO Acquisition Corp. commenced a tender offer to purchase
all of the outstanding shares of Innotech's Common Stock not already owned by
Johnson & Johnson, INO Acquisition Corp. or any other subsidiary of Johnson &
Johnson at a cash price of $13.75 per share. The Merger Agreement provides that,
subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, the tender offer
will be followed by a merger of INO Acquisition Corp. with and into Innotech, in
which case those shares that are not purchased in the tender offer (other than
shares held in Innotech's treasury, by Johnson & Johnson, INO Acquisition Corp.
or any other subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, or by stockholders duly exercising
appraisal rights as provided by Delaware law) will be converted into the right
to receive in cash the price paid per share pursuant to the tender offer.
 
     INNOTECH'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS UNANIMOUSLY (I) DETERMINED THAT THE
TENDER OFFER AND THE MERGER ARE FAIR TO, AND IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF,
INNOTECH'S STOCKHOLDERS, (II) APPROVED THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, INCLUDING THE TENDER OFFER AND THE MERGER, AND (III)
RECOMMENDED THAT YOU ACCEPT THE TENDER OFFER AND TENDER YOUR SHARES IN THE
TENDER OFFER.
 
     In arriving at its recommendation, Innotech's Board of Directors gave
careful consideration to various factors described in Innotech's
Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 which is enclosed
herewith. Those factors included the opinion, dated February 10, 1997, of
Innotech's financial advisor, Prudential Securities Incorporated, to the effect
that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the matters set forth
therein, the cash consideration to be received by holders of shares of
Innotech's Common Stock in the tender offer and the merger is fair from a
financial point of view to such holders. The Schedule 14D-9 includes additional
information with respect to the tender offer and the merger and an Information
Statement containing certain information regarding the executive officers and
directors of Innotech as well as the director designees of INO Acquisition
Corp., who are expected to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of
Innotech upon the purchase by INO Acquisition Corp. pursuant to the tender offer
of such number of shares of Innotech Common Stock which, when added to the
shares beneficially owned by Johnson & Johnson, INO Acquisition Corp. or any
affiliate thereof, represents a majority of Innotech's shares on a fully diluted
basis.
 
     Also enclosed herewith is INO Acquisition Corp.'s Offer to Purchase and
related materials, including a Letter of Transmittal, which set forth the terms
and conditions of the tender offer and provide instructions on how to tender
your shares. We urge you to read the enclosed materials carefully in making your
decision with respect to tendering your shares.
 
     The Board of Directors and management of Innotech thank you for the support
and encouragement you have given Innotech.
 
                                          Ronald D. Blum

                   AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
 
     AGREEMENT dated as of September 19, 1996, between Innotech, Inc., a
corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware ("Employer"), and
Robert P. Padula ("Executive").
 
                               R E C I T A L S :
 
     WHEREAS, Executive desires to provide services to Employer and Employer
desires to retain the services of Executive;

     WHEREAS, Employer and Executive desire to amend and restate the March

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event Employer
     requires Executive to relocate to a location outside of the metropolitan
     Roanoke area and Executive fails to so relocate, such failure shall not be
     grounds for termination by Employer for "Cause" (as hereinafter defined).
 
     2. Compensation and Benefits.
 
          2.1. Salary.  Effective September 19, 1996, Employer shall pay to

        accordance with Employer's policy with respect thereto.
 
             2.3.2. Employer Plans.  Executive shall be entitled to participate
        in such executive benefit plans and programs as Employer may from time

             2.3.3. Vacation.  Executive shall be entitled to two weeks paid

     Agreement shall commence on the date of this agreement and shall continue
     until November 30, 1997. Thereafter, it shall continue for successive
     one-year periods commencing on December 1 of each subsequent year;
     provided, however, that either party may elect to terminate this Agreement
     as of November 30, 1997, or as of any subsequent November 30 (a "Renewal
     Termination Date"), by written notice to such effect delivered by the other
     party at least 60 days prior to such Renewal Termination Date. The election
     of Employer or Executive to terminate this Agreement as of November 30,
     1997, or as of any Renewal Termination Date, as provided in this Section
     4.1 shall not be deemed to be termination by Employer under Sections 4.2.3,

     and earned by Executive through the Renewal Termination Date. Upon
     termination of Executive's employment with Employer pursuant to Sections

     duties and obligations hereunder (except those duties and obligations set
     forth in Sections 5, 6.11, 6.12 and 6.13 hereof) and the obligations of
     Employer to Executive shall be as set forth in Section 4.3 hereof.
 
          4.2. Events of Termination.  Executive's employment with Employer
     shall terminate upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following

        employment shall terminate on the date of death.
 
             4.2.2. Disability.  In the event of Executive's Disability (as
        hereinafter defined), Employer shall have the option to terminate
        Executive's employment by giving a Notice of Termination to Executive.
        The Notice of Termination shall specify the date of termination, which
        date shall not be earlier than thirty days after the Notice of
        Termination is given. For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" means
        the inability of Executive to substantially perform his duties hereunder
        for ninety days out of 180 consecutive days as a result of a physical or
        mental illness all as determined in good faith by the Board.
<PAGE>   3
 
             4.2.3. Termination by Employer for Cause.  Employer may, at its
        option, terminate Executive's employment for "Cause" based on objective
        factors determined in good faith by a majority of the Board by giving a
        Notice of Termination to Executive specifying the reasons for
        termination and if Executive shall fail to cure same within ten days of
        his receiving the Notice of Termination his Employment shall terminate
        at the end of such ten day period; provided, that in the event the Board
        in good faith determines that the underlying reasons giving rise to such
        determination cannot be cured, then said cure period shall not apply and
        Executive's employment shall terminate on the date of Executive's
        receipt of the Notice of Termination. "Cause" shall mean (i) Executive's
        conviction of, guilty plea to, or confession of guilt of, a felony, (ii)
        dishonest or illegal conduct or misconduct or malfeasance by Executive
        in the performance of services for or on behalf of Employer, or other
        conduct detrimental to the business, operations or reputation of
        Employer, regardless of whether such conduct is within the scope of
        Executive's duties, (iii) failure by Executive to perform his duties, as
        assigned to him by the President from time to time, (iv) violation by
        Executive of the covenants set forth in this Agreement, (v) Executive's
        filing of a petition in bankruptcy or filing of a petition to take
        advantage of any insolvency act or the filing of any such petition
        against Executive, and (vi) except as may be permitted herein,
        disclosure of Confidential Information (as defined in Section 5.1
        hereof) without the prior written consent of Employer.
 
             4.2.4. Without Cause By Employer.  Employer may, at its option,
        terminate Executive's employment for any reason whatsoever (other than
        for the reasons set forth above in this Section 4.2) by giving a Notice
        of Termination to Executive, and Executive's employment shall terminate
        on the later of the date the Notice of Termination is given or the date
        set forth in such Notice of Termination.
 
             4.2.5. Employer's Material Breach.  Executive may, at his option,
        terminate Executive's employment upon Employer's material breach of this
        Agreement by giving Employer written notice of such breach (which notice
        shall identify the manner in which Employer has materially breached this
        Agreement) and if such breach is not cured within thirty days of
        Employer receiving such written notice, Executive's employment shall
        terminate at the end of such thirty day period. Employer's Material
        Breach of this Agreement shall mean (i) the failure of Employer to pay
        Base Salary or other earned and unpaid bonus hereunder in accordance
        with this Agreement or (ii) the assignment to Executive, without
        Executive's consent, of duties substantially inconsistent with his
        duties as set forth in Section 1.2 hereof.
 
             4.2.6. Without Cause by Executive.  Executive may terminate
        Executive's employment for any reason whatsoever by giving a Notice of
        Termination to Employer. Executive's employment shall terminate on the
        earlier of (i) the date, following the date of the Notice of
        Termination, upon which a suitable replacement for Executive is found by
        Employer, or (ii) five days after the date of receipt by Employer of the
        Notice of Termination.
 
          4.3. Certain Obligations of Employer Following Termination of
     Executive's Employment.  Following the termination of Executive's
     employment under the circumstances described below, Employer shall pay to
     Executive in accordance with its regular payroll practices the following
     compensation and provide the following benefits in full satisfaction and
     final settlement of any and all claims and demands that Executive now has
     or hereafter may have hereunder against Employer:
 
             4.3.1. Death; Disability.  In the event that Executive's employment
        is terminated by reason of Executive's death or for Disability,
        Executive or his estate, as the case may be, shall be entitled to the
        following payments:
 
                (i) Base Salary through the date Executive's employment is
           terminated; and
 
                (ii) Employer shall pay to Executive or his estate, as the case
           may be, the amounts and shall provide all benefits generally
           available under the employee benefit plans, and the policies and
           practices of Employer, determined in accordance with the applicable
           terms and provisions
<PAGE>   4
 
           of such plans, policies and practices, in each case, as accrued to
           the date of termination or otherwise payable as a consequence of
           Executive's death or Disability.
 
             4.3.2. Without Cause by Employer; Material Breach By Employer.  In
        the event that Executive's employment is terminated by Employer pursuant
        to Section 4.2.4 or by Executive pursuant to Section 4.2.5, Executive
        shall be entitled to the following payments:
 
                (i) Base Salary through the date Executive's employment is
           terminated;
 
                (ii) a pro-rata portion of any amounts Executive would be
           entitled to under the MICP, if any, accrued on or prior to date
           Executive's employment is terminated for any reason hereunder; and
 
                (iii) continuing payments of Base Salary, payable in accordance
           with the regular payroll practices of Employer, for twelve months
           following the date of termination of Executive's employment.
 
             4.3.3. Termination by Executive Without Cause or by Employer for
        Cause.  In the event Executive's employment as terminated by Executive
        pursuant to 4.2.6 or by Employer pursuant to Section 4.2.3, Executive
        shall be entitled to no further compensation or other benefits under
        this Agreement, except as to that portion of any unpaid Base Salary and
        other benefits earned by him hereunder but not yet paid up to and
        including the effective date of such termination. Executive shall not be
        entitled to receive any additional compensation pursuant to the MICP,
        except that Executive shall be entitled to receive any amounts earned
        but not yet paid under the MICP in respect of any fiscal year prior to
        the year of termination and other benefits, if any, in accordance with
        other applicable plans and policies of Employer.
 
          4.4. Nature of Payments.  All amounts to be paid by Employer to
     Executive pursuant to this Section 4 are considered by the parties to be
     severance payments. In the event such payments are treated as damages, it
     is expressly acknowledged by the parties that damages to Executive for
     termination of employment would be difficult to ascertain and the above
     amounts are reasonable estimates thereof.
 
     5. Confidentiality; Nonsolicitation; NonCompete.
 
          5.1. Confidential Information Defined.  "Confidential Information"
     means any and all information (oral or written) relating to Employer or any
     person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Employer or
     any of their respective activities, including, but not limited to,
     information relating to: discoveries, innovations, chemistry, patents,
     patent applications, know how, secret processes, research, test procedures
     and results, machinery and equipment; manufacturing processes; financial
     information; products; identity and description of materials and services
     used; purchasing; costs; pricing; customers and prospects; advertising,
     promotion and marketing; trademarks and trademark registrations; copyrights
     and copyright registrations; and information pertaining to any governmental
     investigation, except such information which can be shown by Executive to
     be generally in the public domain (such information not being deemed to be
     in the public domain merely because it is embraced by more general
     information which is in the public domain), other than as a result of a
     breach of the provisions of Section 5.2 hereof.
 
          5.2. Nondisclosure of Confidential Information.  Executive shall not,
     at any time (other than as may be required or appropriate in connection
     with the performance by him of his duties hereunder) directly or
     indirectly, use, communicate, disclose or disseminate any Confidential
     Information in any manner whatsoever (except as may be required under legal
     process by subpoena or other court order).
 
          5.3. Certain Activities.  Executive shall not while employed by
     Employer and thereafter, directly or indirectly, hire, offer to hire,
     entice away or in any other manner persuade or attempt to persuade any
     officer, employee, agent, lessor, lessee, licensor, licensee, customer,
     prospective customer or supplier of Employer to discontinue or alter his or
     its relationship with Employer.
 
          5.4. Covenant Not to Compete.  During Executive's employment and for a
     period of one year after the termination of Executive's employment,
     Executive shall not directly or indirectly engage in
<PAGE>   5
 
     competition with Employer by being associated with any competitor of
     Employer that sells or offers to sell any products or services which
     compete with the products or services offered or sold by Employer or being
     developed by Employer for sale at the time termination of employment would
     be difficult to ascertain and the above amounts are reasonable estimates
     thereof.
 
     6. Miscellaneous Provisions.
 
          6.1. Severability.  If in any jurisdiction any term or provision
     hereof is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, (a) the remaining
     terms and provisions hereof shall be unimpaired, (b) any such invalidity or
     unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
     unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction, and (c) the invalid
     or unenforceable term or provision shall, for purposes of such
     jurisdiction, be deemed replaced by a term or provision that is valid and
     enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the
     invalid or unenforceable term or provision.
 
          6.2. Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one
     or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but
     all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement
     (and all signatures need not appear on any one counterpart), and this
     Agreement shall become effective when one or more counterparts has been
     signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to each of the other
     parties hereto.

                           THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED
                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
 
     AGREEMENT dated as of October 16, 1996, between Innotech, Inc., a
corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware ("Employer"), and
Steven A. Bennington ("Executive").
 
                                R E C I T A L S:
 
     WHEREAS, Employer and Executive entered into an Employment Agreement dated
July 1, 1992 (the "July Agreement");
 
     WHEREAS, the July Agreement was amended and restated by the Amended and
Restated Employment Agreement dated as of December 15, 1992 (the "December
Agreement");
 
     WHEREAS, the December Agreement was amended and restated by the Second
Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated as of October 2, 1995 (the
"October Agreement");
 
     WHEREAS, Employer and Executive desire to amend the October Agreement to
further modify the terms of Executive's employment by Employer; and
 
     WHEREAS, Executive desires to continue employment with Employer and
Employer desires to continue to retain the services of Executive on the terms
and conditions hereafter set forth.
 
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
covenants set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration,
Employer and Executive hereby agree that this Third Amended and Restated
Employment Agreement (the "Agreement") amends, restates and is in complete
substitution of the October Agreement and further agree as follows:
 
     1. Employment.
 
          1.1. General.  Employer hereby employs Executive in the capacity of
     President and Chief Operating Officer. Executive hereby accepts such
     employment, upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein contained.
 
          1.2. Duties.  During the Employment Period (as defined in Section 3.1
     hereof), Executive will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of
     Employer, including but not limited to financial, sales and marketing and
     manufacturing, and performing such other duties as may from time to time be
     assigned to or requested of Executive by Employer's Chairman of the Board
     of Directors (the "Chairman"), and/or Board of Directors (the "Board").
     Executive shall use his reasonable efforts to perform faithfully and
     effectively such responsibilities. Executive shall conduct all of his
     activities in a manner so as to maintain and promote the business and
     reputation of Employer.
 
          1.3. Full-Time Position.  Executive, during the Employment Period,
     will devote all of his business time, attention and skills to the business
     and affairs of Employer.
 
          1.4. Location of Employment.  Executive's place of employment during
     the Employment Period shall be in Roanoke, Virginia or at any location as
     Employer may from time to time move its principal offices. Notwithstanding
     anything to the contrary herein, in the event Employer requires Executive
     to relocate to a location outside of the metropolitan Roanoke area and
     Executive fails to so relocate, such failure shall not be grounds for
     termination by Employer for Cause (as defined in Section 3.2.3 hereof).
 
     2. Compensation and Benefits.
 
          2.1. Salary.  Effective August 14, 1996, Employer will pay to
     Executive, and Executive will accept, as full compensation for any and all
     services rendered and to be rendered by him during the Employment Period to
     Employer in all capacities, (i) a base salary at the annual rate of
     $175,000, or at such increased rate as the Board, in its sole discretion,
     may hereafter from time to time grant to Executive ("Base
<PAGE>   2
 
     Salary"), payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of
     Employer, and (ii) the additional benefits hereinafter set forth in this
     Section 2.
 
          2.2. Additional Compensation.  Executive shall be entitled to
     participate in Employer's Management Incentive Compensation Plan (the
     "MICP") and shall be entitled to awards granted pursuant to the terms
     thereof as determined by the Board. Executive, at his election, shall be
     entitled to an advance of up to $7,500 against the MICP for 1996 (the "MICP
     Advance"), provided, that, Executive shall repay, without interest, the
     difference between the amount of any MICP Advance and the actual bonus
     earned under the MICP for 1996 in the event that the MICP Advance shall
     exceed the actual bonus earned. Executive's target award for MICP plan
     years 1997 and 1998 shall be not less than 40% of Executive's then Base
     Salary for the applicable plan year.
 
          2.3. Executive Benefits.
 
          2.3.1. Expenses.  Employer will reimburse Executive for expenses he
     reasonably incurs in connection with the performance of his duties
     (including business travel and entertainment expenses), all in accordance
     with Employer's policies with respect thereto.
 
          2.3.2. Employer Plans.  Executive will be entitled to participate in
     such employee benefit plans and programs as Employer may from time to time
     offer or provide to executive officers of Employer, including, but not
     limited to, participation in life insurance, health and accident and
     medical plans and programs.
 
          2.3.3. Life Insurance.  During the Employment Period, Employer shall
     pay all premiums on a term life insurance policy on the life of Executive
     having a face value of $1,000,000, and Executive shall be entitled to name
     the beneficiaries of such policy; provided, that, in lieu of the foregoing,
     Executive may elect to have Employer pay all premiums on a disability
     policy with respect to Executive in an amount not greater than the premiums
     Employer would have paid on such life insurance policy.
 
          2.3.4. Vacation.  During the Employment Period, Executive shall be
     entitled to two weeks vacation for each twelve (12) month period Executive
     is employed by Employer, as shall be approved by the Chairman. Executive
     shall be able to accrue vacation days from year to year in accordance with
     Employer's published policies.
 
          2.3.5. Outplacement.  Upon termination of the Employment Period,
     Employer shall provide and pay for such outplacement services for Executive
     as Executive shall select. Employer shall not be required to pay in excess
     of $5,000 for such outplacement services.
 
     3. Employment Period; Termination.
 
          3.1. Employment Period.  For purposes of this Agreement, Executive's
     employment by Employer commenced on August 14, 1996 and will continue until
     August 13, 1998 (the "Initial Period"). Thereafter, it will continue for
     successive one-year periods commencing August 14 of each subsequent year
     following the Initial Period (the Initial Period together with any
     subsequent employment period being referred to herein as the "Employment
     Period"); provided, however, that either party may elect to terminate this
     Employment Agreement as of August 13, 1998, or as of any subsequent August
     13 (a "Renewal Termination Date"), by written notice to such effect
     delivered by the other party at least 90 days prior to such Renewal
     Termination Date. The election of Employer or Executive to terminate this
     Agreement as of August 13, 1998, or as of any Renewal Termination Date, as
     provided in this Section 3.1 shall not be deemed to be termination by
     Employer under Sections 3.2.3, 3.2.4 or 3.2.5 hereof or by Executive under
     Section 3.2.6 hereof, and in such event, Executive shall only be entitled
     to Base Salary through the Renewal Termination Date and a pro-rata portion
     of any amounts Executive would be entitled to under the MICP.
<PAGE>   3
 
          3.2. Events of Termination.  The Employment Period will terminate upon
     the occurrence of any one or more of the following events:
 
             3.2.1. Death.  In the event of Executive's death, the Employment
        Period will terminate on the date of death.
 
             3.2.2. Disability.  In the event of Executive's Disability (as
        hereinafter defined), Employer will have the option to terminate the
        Employment Period by giving a Notice of Termination to Executive. The
        Notice of Termination shall specify the date of termination, which date
        shall not be earlier than thirty (30) days after the Notice of
        Termination is given. For purposes of this Employment Agreement,
        "Disability" means the inability of Executive to substantially perform
        his duties hereunder for 90 days out of 180 consecutive days as a result
        of a physical or mental illness, all as determined in good faith by the
        Board.
 
             3.2.3. Termination by Employer for Cause.  Employer may, at its
        option, terminate the Employment Period for "Cause" based on objective
        factors determined in good faith by a majority of the Board as set forth
        in a Notice of Termination to Executive specifying the reasons for
        termination and the failure of Executive to cure same within ten (10)
        days of his receiving the Notice of Termination; provided, that in the
        event the Board in good faith determines that the underlying reasons
        giving rise to such determination cannot be cured, then said cure period
        shall not apply, and the Employment Period shall terminate on the date
        of Executive's receipt of the Notice of Termination (the "Termination
        Date"). "Cause" shall mean (i) Executive's conviction of, guilty plea
        to, or confession of guilt of, a felony, (ii) disloyal, dishonest or
        illegal conduct or intentional misconduct or malfeasance by Executive in
        the performance of services for or on behalf of Employer, or other
        conduct materially detrimental to the business, operations or reputation
        of Employer, regardless of whether such conduct is within the scope of
        Executive's duties, (iii) failure by Executive to substantially perform
        his duties, as assigned to him by the Chairman, President or the Board
        from time to time, (iv) violation by Executive of the covenants set
        forth in this Agreement, (v) the filing by or against Executive of any
        bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization proceeding, (vi) except as may
        be permitted herein, disclosure of Confidential Information (as
        hereinafter defined) without the prior written consent of Employer, or
        (vii) failure to assign to Employer Inventions (as hereinafter defined)
        as may be required herein.
 
             3.2.4. Without Cause By Employer.  Employer may, at its option,
        terminate the Employment Period for any reason whatsoever (other than
        for the reasons set forth above in this Section 3.2) by giving a Notice
        of Termination to Executive, and the Termination Date shall be the later
        of the date the Notice of Termination is given or the date set forth in
        such Notice of Termination.
 
             3.2.5. Employer's Material Breach.  Executive may, at his option,
        terminate the Employment Period upon Employer's material breach of this
        Employment Agreement and the continuation of such breach for more than
        thirty (30) days after written demand for cure of said breach is given
        to Employer by Executive (which demand will identify the manner in which
        Employer has materially breached this Employment Agreement). In the
        event of a termination under this Section 3.2.5, the Termination Date
        shall mean the 31st day after written demand for cure is given by
        Executive to Employer. Employer's "Material Breach" of this Employment
        Agreement shall mean (i) the failure of Employer to pay Base Salary or
        additional compensation hereunder in accordance with this Agreement or
        (ii) the assignment to Executive without Executive's consent of duties
        substantially inconsistent with his duties as set forth in Section 1.2
        hereof.
 
             3.2.6. Without Cause By Executive.  Executive may terminate the
        Employment Period for any reason whatsoever by giving a Notice of
        Termination to Employer. The Termination Date pursuant to this Section
        3.2.6 shall be the earlier of (i) the date, following the date of the
        Notice of Termination, upon which a suitable replacement for Executive
        is found by Employer, or (ii) 60 days after the date of receipt by
        Employer of the Notice of Termination.

          3.3. Certain Obligations of Employer Following Termination of the
     Employment Period.  Following termination of the Employment Period under
     the circumstances described below, Employer will pay to Executive in
     accordance with its regular payroll practices the following compensation
     and provide the following benefits in full satisfaction and final
     settlement of any and all claims and demands that Executive now has or
     hereafter may have hereunder against Employer:
 
             3.3.1. Death; Disability.  In the event that the Employment Period
        is terminated by reason of Executive's death or for Disability,
        Executive or his estate, as the case may be, shall be entitled to the
        following payments:
 
                (i) Base Salary through the date of death or the date of
           termination as specified in the Notice of Termination in the event of
           Disability;
 
                (ii) A pro-rata portion of any amounts Executive would be
           entitled to under the MICP, if any, accrued on or prior to the date
           of death or the date of termination as specified in the Notice of
           Termination in the event of Disability; and
 
                (iii) Employer shall pay to Executive or his estate, as the case
           may be, the amounts and shall provide all benefits generally
           available under the employee benefit plans, and the policies and
           practices of Employer, determined in accordance with the applicable
           terms and provisions of such plans, policies and practices, in each
           case, as accrued to the date of termination as specified in the
           Notice of Termination in the event of Disability or otherwise payable
           as a consequence of Executive's death or Disability.
 
             3.3.2. Without Cause by Employer; Material Breach by Employer.  In
        the event that the Employment Period is terminated by Employer pursuant
        to Section 3.2.4 hereof or by Executive pursuant to Section 3.2.5
        hereof, Executive shall be entitled to the following payments:
 
                (i) Base Salary through the Termination Date;
 
                (ii) a pro-rata portion of any amounts Executive would be
           entitled to under the MICP, if any, accrued on or prior to the
           Termination Date; and
 
                (iii) continuing payments of Base Salary, payable in accordance
           with regular payroll practices of Employer, for the greater of: [X]
           twelve (12) months or [Y] the remaining portion of the Employment
           Period, as it may be extended as provided in Section 3.1 hereof.
 
             3.3.3. Termination by Executive Without Cause or by Employer for
        Cause.  In the event the Employment Period as terminated by Executive
        pursuant to 3.2.6 hereof or by Employer pursuant to Section 3.2.3
        hereof, Executive shall be entitled to no further compensation or other
        benefits under this Agreement except as to that portion of any unpaid
        Base Salary and other benefits accrued and earned by him hereunder up to
        and including the effective date of such termination. Executive shall
        not be entitled to receive any additional compensation pursuant to the
        MICP, except that Executive shall be entitled to receive any amounts
        earned but not yet paid under the MICP in respect of any fiscal year
        prior to the year of termination and other benefits, if any, in
        accordance with other applicable plans and policies of Employer.
 
          3.4. Nature of Payments.  All amounts to be paid by Employer to
     Executive pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof are considered by the parties to
     be severance payments. In the event such payments are treated as damages,
     it is expressly acknowledged by the parties that damages to Executive for
     termination of employment would be difficult to ascertain and the above
     amounts are reasonable estimates thereof. Upon termination of the
     Employment Period pursuant to Sections 3.2.2 through 3.2.6 hereof,
     inclusive, Executive will be released from any duties and obligations
     hereunder (except the duties and obligations set forth in Sections 4, 6.11
     and 6.12 hereof) and the obligations of Employer to Executive will be as
     set forth in Section 3.3 hereof.

     4. Confidentiality; Nonsolicitation; Non-Compete.
 
          4.1. Confidential Information Defined.  Confidential Information means
     any and all information (oral or written) relating to Employer or any
     person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Employer or
     any of their respective activities, including, but not limited to,
     information relating to: technology, patents, patent applications, know
     how, secret processes, research, test procedures and results, machinery and
     equipment; manufacturing processes; financial information; products;
     identity and description of materials and services used; purchasing; costs;
     pricing; customers and prospects; advertising, promotion and marketing; and
     selling, servicing and information pertaining to any governmental
     investigation, except such information which can be shown by Executive to
     be generally in the public domain (such information not being deemed to be
     in the public domain merely because it is embraced by more general
     information which is in the public domain), other than as a result of a
     breach of the provisions of Section 4.2 hereof.
 
          4.2. Nondisclosure of Confidential Information.  Executive will not,
     at any time (other than as may be required or appropriate in connection
     with the performance by him of his duties hereunder) directly or
     indirectly, use, communicate, disclose or disseminate any Confidential
     Information in any manner whatsoever (except as may be required under legal
     process by subpoena or other court order; provided, that, Executive will
     take reasonable steps to give Employer sufficient prior written notice in
     order to contest such requirement or order).
 
          4.3. Certain Activities.  Executive will not while employed by
     Employer and thereafter, directly or indirectly, hire, offer to hire,
     entice away or in any other manner persuade or attempt to persuade any
     officer, employee, agent, lessor, lessee, licensor, licensee, customer,
     prospective customer or supplier of Employer to discontinue or alter his or
     its relationship with Employer.
 
          4.4. Covenant Not to Compete.  During the Employment Period and for a
     period of two years thereafter Executive will not directly or indirectly
     engage in competition with Employer by being associated with any competitor
     of Employer that sells or offers to sell any products or services which
     compete with the products or services offered or sold by Employer or being
     developed by Employer for sale; or induce or attempt to induce, directly or
     indirectly, any then current or potential customer of Employer to cease
     doing business, in whole or in part, with Employer or solicit business of
     any such customer for any products or services of any competitor of
     Employer which compete with the products or services offered or sold by
     Employer or being developed by Employer for sale. Notwithstanding the
     foregoing, in the event Executive's employment is terminated by Employer
     Without Cause or due to Employer's Material Breach, this Section 4.4 shall
     only apply to the products or services offered or sold by Employer that
     relate to its SurfaceCasting technology.
 
          4.5. Inventions.  Any and all inventions, innovations or improvements
     ("Inventions") made, developed or created by Executive (whether at the
     request of Employer or otherwise, whether alone or in conjunction with
     others, and whether during regular hours of work or otherwise) during the
     Employment Period which may be useful in, or relate to, the business of
     Employer, shall be promptly and fully disclosed by Executive to the Board
     and shall be Employer's exclusive property as against Executive. Executive
     shall, at the request of Employer, and without any charge to Employer, but
     at Employer's sole cost and expense, execute any documents as may be
     necessary or advisable to obtain patents or copyrights for said Inventions
     and to vest title thereto in Employer.
 
          4.6. Injunctive Relief.  The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that
     (a) Employer will be irreparably injured in the event of a breach by
     Executive of any of his obligations under this Section 4; (b) monetary
     damages will not be an adequate remedy for any such breach; (c) Employer
     will be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy
     which it may have, in the event of any such breach, including, but not
     limited to, termination of the Employment Period for Cause; and (d) the
     existence of any claims which Executive may have against Employer, whether
     under this Agreement or otherwise, will not be a defense to the enforcement
     by Employer of any of its rights under this Section 4.
<PAGE>   6
 
          4.7. Nonexclusivity and Survival.  The covenants of Executive
     contained in this Section 4 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any
     obligations which Executive may have with respect to the subject matter
     hereof, whether by contract, as a matter of law or otherwise, and such
     covenants and their enforceability will survive any termination of the
     Employment Period by either party and any investigation made with respect
     to the breach thereof by Employer at any time.
 
     5. Stock Option.  Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, Employer and Executive have executed and delivered the stock option
agreements in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A and Exhibit B.
 
     6. Miscellaneous Provisions.
 
          6.1. Severability.  If in any jurisdiction any term or provision
     hereof is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, (a) the remaining
     terms and provisions hereof shall be unimpaired, (b) any such invalidity or
     unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
     unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction, and (c) the invalid
     or unenforceable term or provision shall, for purposes of such
     jurisdiction, be deemed replaced by a term or provision that is valid and
     enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the
     invalid or unenforceable term or provision.
 
          6.2. Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one
     or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate

        to the determination by the Board of a termination for Cause pursuant to

     EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of October 2, 1995, between Innotech, Inc.,
a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware ("Employer"),
and Sunder Malkani ("Executive").
 
     WHEREAS, Executive desires to provide services to Employer and Employer
desires to retain the services of Executive;
 
     WHEREAS, Employer and Executive desire to formalize the terms and
conditions of Executive's employment with Employer.
 
     NOW, THEREFORE, Employer and Executive hereby agree as follows:
 
     1.  Employment.
 
          1.1.  General.  Employer hereby employs Executive in the capacity of
     Vice President of Marketing. Executive hereby accepts such employment, upon
     the terms and subject to the conditions herein contained.
 
          1.2.  Duties.  During the Executive's employment with Employer,
     Executive will report directly to the Chief Operating Officer, will be
     responsible for performing those duties consistent with the position of
     vice president of marketing and for performing such other duties as may
     from time to time be assigned to or requested of Executive by Employer's
     Chief Operating Officer, President or Chairman of the Board and/or the
     Board of Directors (the "Board"). Executive shall use his reasonable
     efforts to perform faithfully and effectively such responsibilities.

     and promote the business and reputation of the Employer.
 
          1.3.  Full-Time Position.  Executive, during his employment with

     business and affairs of Employer.
 
          1.4.  Location of Employment.  Executive's place of employment during
     his employment with Employer shall be in Roanoke, Virginia. Notwithstanding
     anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event Employer requires
     Executive to relocate to a location outside of the metropolitan Roanoke
     area and Executive fails to so relocate, such failure shall not be deemed
     to be grounds for termination for "Cause" (as defined in Section 3.2.3.
     hereof).
 
          1.5.  Relocation.  Employer will reimburse to Executive relocation
     costs associated with his moving from Atlanta, Georgia to Roanoke, Virginia
     in an amount not to exceed $10,000. Notwithstanding anything to the
     contrary in this Agreement, if Executive has not moved to Roanoke, Virginia
     on or before January 1, 1996, this Agreement will terminate, and Executive
     shall not be entitled to any payments pursuant to Section 3.3.2 hereof.
 
     2.  Compensation and Benefits.
 
          2.1.  Salary.  Employer will pay to Executive, and Executive will

     rendered by him to Employer in all capacities during the term of his
     employment under this Agreement, (i) a base salary at the annual rate of
     $115,000 or at such rate as the Board, in its sole discretion, may
     hereafter from time to time grant to Executive ("Base Salary"), payable in
     accordance with the regular payroll practices of Employer, and (ii) the
     additional benefits hereinafter set forth in this Section 2.
 
          2.2.  Additional Compensation.  Executive shall be entitled to

        2.3.  Executive Benefits.
 
             2.3.1.  Expenses.  Employer will reimburse Executive for expenses
        he reasonably incurs in connection with the performance of his duties
        (including business travel and entertainment expenses), all in

             2.3.2.  Employer Plans.  Executive will be entitled to participate
        in such executive benefit plans and programs as Employer may from time
        to time offer or provide to executives of Employer, including, but not

        medical plans and programs.
 
             2.3.3.  Vacation.  Executive shall be eligible for paid vacation
        leave, accruing one day of leave for each 5.2 weeks of employment, or 10
        days of paid leave per year. Executive shall be able to accrue vacation

        policies . Such vacation time shall be at such times as shall be
        approved by the Chief Operating Officer, President or Chairman of
        Employer.
 
     3.  Termination of Employment.
 
          3.1.  Termination.  Executive's employment by Employer pursuant to
     this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and will continue until
     the second anniversary of the date of this Agreement. Thereafter, each
     party will have the option of continuing this Agreement on such terms and
     conditions as they may mutually agree. Upon termination of Executive's
     employment with Employer pursuant to Sections 3.2.2 through 3.2.6 hereof,
     inclusive, Executive will be released from any duties and obligations
     hereunder (except those duties and obligations set forth in Sections 4,
     5.11,.12 and 5.13 hereof) and the obligations of Employer to Executive will
     be as set forth in Section 3.3 hereof.
 
          3.2.  Events of Termination.  Executive's employment with Employer
     will terminate upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following
     events:
 
             3.2.1.  Death.  In the event of the Executive's death, Executive's
        employment will terminate on the date of death.
 
             3.2.2.  Disability.  In the event of Executive's Disability (as
        hereinafter defined), Employer will have the option to terminate
        Executive's employment by giving a Notice of Termination to Executive.
        The Notice of Termination shall specify the date of termination, which
        date shall not be earlier than thirty (30) days after the Notice of
        Termination is given. For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" means
        the inability of Executive to substantially perform his duties hereunder
        for 90 days out of 180 consecutive days as a result of a physical or
        mental illness, all as determined in good faith by the Board.
 
             3.2.3.  Termination by Employer for Cause.  Employer may, at its
        option, terminate Executive's employment for "Cause" based on objective
        factors determined in good faith by a majority of the Board by giving a
        Notice of Termination to Executive specifying the reasons for
        termination and if Executive shall fail to cure same within ten (10)
        days of his receiving the Notice of Termination his Employment shall
        terminate at the end of such ten (10) day period; provided, that in the
        event the Board in good faith determines that the underlying reasons
        giving rise to such determination cannot be cured, then said cure period
        shall not apply and Executive's employment shall terminate on the date
        of Executive's receipt of the Notice of Termination. "Cause" shall mean
        (i) Executive's conviction of, guilty plea to, or confession of guilt
        of, a felony, (ii) dishonest or illegal conduct or misconduct or
        malfeasance by Executive in the performance of services for or on behalf
        of the Employer, or other conduct detrimental to the business,
        operations or reputation of the Employer, regardless of whether such
        conduct is within the scope of Executive's duties, (iii) failure by
        Executive to perform his duties, as assigned to him by the Chief
        Executive Officer, President, Chairman or the Board from time to time,
        (iv) violation by Executive of the covenants set forth in this
        Agreement, (v) the filing by or against Executive of any bankruptcy,
        insolvency or reorganization proceeding, (vi) except as may be permitted
        herein, disclosure of Confidential Information (as
 
                                        2
<PAGE>   3
 
        defined in Section 4.1 hereof) without the prior written consent of
        Employer and (vii) Executive's failure to move to Roanoke, Virginia on
        or prior to January 1, 1996.
 
             3.2.4.  Without Cause By Employer.  Employer may, at its option,
        terminate the Executive's employment for any reason whatsoever (other
        than for the reasons set forth above in this Section 3.2) by giving a
        Notice of Termination to Executive, and Executive's employment shall
        terminate on the later of the date the Notice of Termination is given or
        the date set forth in such Notice of Termination.
 
             3.2.5.  Employer's Material Breach.  Executive may, at his option,
        terminate the Executive's employment upon Employer's material breach of
        this Agreement by giving Employer written notice of such breach (which
        notice will identify the manner in which Employer has materially
        breached this Agreement) and if such breach is not cured within thirty
        (30) days of Employer receiving such written notice, the Executive's
        employment shall terminate at the end of such thirty (30) day period.
        Employer's "Material Breach" of this Agreement shall mean (i) the
        failure of Employer to pay Base Salary or additional compensation
        hereunder in accordance with this Agreement or (ii) the assignment to
        Executive without Executive's consent of duties substantially
        inconsistent with his duties as set forth in Section 1.2 hereof.
 
             3.2.6.  Without Cause By Executive.  Executive may terminate the
        Executive's employment for any reason whatsoever by giving a Notice of
        Termination to Employer. The Executive's employment shall terminate on
        the earlier of (i) the date, following the date of the Notice of
        Termination, upon which a suitable replacement for Executive is found by
        the Employer, or (ii) 5 days after the date of receipt by Employer of
        the Notice of Termination.
 
          3.3.  Certain Obligations of Employer Following Termination of the
     Executive's Employment.  Following the termination of the Executive's
     employment under the circumstances described below, Employer will pay to
     Executive in accordance with its regular payroll practices the following
     compensation and provide the following benefits in full satisfaction and
     final settlement of any and all claims and demands that Executive now has
     or hereafter may have hereunder against Employer:
 
             3.3.1.  Death; Disability.  In the event that the Executive's
        employment is terminated by reason of Executive's death or Disability,
        Executive or his estate, as the case may be, shall be entitled to the
        following payments:
 
                (i)  Base Salary through the date the Executive's employment is
           terminated; and
 
                (ii) Employer shall pay to Executive or his estate, as the case
           may be, the amounts and shall provide all benefits generally
           available under the employee benefit plans, and the policies and
           practices of Employer, determined in accordance with the applicable
           terms and provisions of such plans, policies and practices, in each
           case, as accrued to the date of termination or otherwise payable as a
           consequence of Executive's death or Disability.
 
             3.3.2.  Without Cause by Employer; Material Breach by Employer.  In
        the event that the Executive's employment is terminated by Employer
        pursuant to Section 3.2.4 hereof or by Executive pursuant to Section

                (i) Base Salary through the date the Executive's employment is
           terminated; and
 
                (ii) a pro-rata portion of any amounts Executive would be
           entitled to under the MICP, if any, accrued on or prior to date
           Executive's employment is terminated for any reason hereunder.
 
                (iii) continuing payments of Base Salary, payable in accordance
           with the regular payroll practices of Employer, for six (6) months
           following the date of termination of Executive's employment.
 
             3.3.3.  Termination by Executive Without Cause or by Employer for
        Cause.  In the event the Executive's employment is terminated by
        Executive pursuant to Section 3.2.6 hereof or by Employer

<PAGE>   4
 
        pursuant to Section 3.2.3 hereof, Executive shall be entitled to no
        further compensation or other benefits under this Agreement except as to
        that portion of any unpaid Base Salary and other benefits accrued and
        earned by him hereunder up to and including the effective date of such
        termination. In addition, Executive shall be entitled to receive any
        additional compensation earned but not yet paid with respect only to any
        calendar year prior to the calendar year of termination.
 
          3.4.  Nature of Payments.  All amounts to be paid by Employer to
     Executive pursuant to this Section 3 are considered by the parties to be
     severance payments. In the event such payments are treated as damages, it
     is expressly acknowledged by the parties that damages to Executive for
     termination of employment would be difficult to ascertain and the above
     amounts are reasonable estimates thereof.
 
     4.  Confidentiality; Nonsolicitation; Non-Compete.
 
          4.1.  Confidential Information Defined.  "Confidential Information"
     means any and all information (oral or written) relating to Employer or any
     person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Employer or
     any of their respective activities, including, but not limited to,
     information relating to: discoveries, innovations, chemistry, patents,
     patent applications, know how, secret processes, research, test procedures
     and results, machinery and equipment; manufacturing processes; financial
     information; products; identity and description of materials and services
     used; purchasing; costs; pricing; customers and prospects; advertising,
     promotion and marketing; trademarks and trademark registrations; copyrights
     and copyright registrations; and information pertaining to any governmental
     investigation, except such information which can be shown by Executive to
     be generally in the public domain (such information not being deemed to be
     in the public domain merely because it is embraced by more general
     information which is in the public domain), other than as a result of a
     breach of the provisions of Section 4.2 hereof.
 
          4.2.  Nondisclosure of Confidential Information.  Executive will not,
     at any time (other than as may be required or appropriate in connection
     with the performance by him of his duties hereunder) directly or
     indirectly, use, communicate, disclose or disseminate any Confidential
     Information in any manner whatsoever (except as may be required under legal
     process by subpoena or other court order; provided, that, Executive will
     take reasonable steps to give Employer sufficient prior written notice in
     order to contest such requirement or order).
 
          4.3.  Certain Activities.  Executive will not while employed by
     Employer and thereafter, directly or indirectly, hire, offer to hire,
     entice away or in any other manner persuade or attempt to persuade any
     officer, employee, agent, lessor, lessee, licensor, licensee, customer,
     prospective customer, supplier or shareholder or prospective shareholder of
     Employer to discontinue or alter his or its relationship with Employer.
 
          4.4.  Covenant Not to Compete.  During the Executive's employment and
     for a period of two (2) years after the termination of Executive's
     employment, Executive will not directly or indirectly engage in competition
     with Employer by being associated with any competitor of Employer that
     sells or offers to sell any products or services which compete with the
     products or services offered or sold by Employer or being developed by
     Employer for sale at the time of termination of the Executive, or induce or
     attempt to induce, directly or indirectly, any then current or potential
     customer of Employer to cease doing business, in whole or in part, with
     Employer or solicit business of any such customer for any products or
     services of any competitor of Employer which compete with the products or
     services offered or sold by Employer or being developed by Employer for
     sale at the time of termination of the Executive. Notwithstanding the
     foregoing, in the event Executive's employment is terminated by Employer
     without Cause or due to Employer's Material Breach of this Agreement, this
     Section 4.4 shall only apply to the products or services offered or sold by
     Employer that relate to its SurfaceCasting technology.
 
          4.5.  Injunctive Relief.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that (a)
     Employer will be irreparably injured in the event of a breach by Executive
     of any of his obligations under this Section 4; (b) monetary damages will
     not be an adequate remedy for any such breach; (c) Employer will be
     entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy which it may
     have, in the event of any such breach, including, but
 
                                        4
<PAGE>   5
 
     not limited to, termination of the Executive's employment for Cause; and
     (d) the existence of any claims which Executive may have against Employer,
     whether under this Agreement or otherwise, will not be a defense to the
     enforcement by Employer of any of its rights under this Section 4.
 
          4.6.  Nonexclusivity and Survival.  The covenants and obligations of
     Executive contained in this Section 4 are in addition to, and not in lieu
     of, any covenants and obligations which Executive may have with respect to
     the subject matter hereof, whether by contract, as a matter of law or
     otherwise, and such covenants and obligations, and their enforceability,
     will survive any termination of the Executive's employment by either party
     and any investigation made with respect to the breach thereof by Employer
     at any time.
 
     5.  Miscellaneous Provisions.
 
          5.1.  Severability.  If in any jurisdiction any term or provision
     hereof is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, (a) the remaining
     terms and provisions hereof shall be unimpaired, (b) any such invalidity or
     unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
     unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction, and (c) the invalid
     or unenforceable term or provision shall, for purposes of such
     jurisdiction, be deemed replaced by a term or provision that is valid and
     enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the
     invalid or unenforceable term or provision.
 
          5.2.  Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in
     one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate
     counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of
     which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement (and all
     signatures need not appear on any one counterpart), and this Agreement
     shall become effective when one or more counterparts has been signed by
     each of the parties hereto and delivered to each of the other parties
     hereto.

     or its valid and binding obligation in accordance with its terms.
 
          5.11.  Enforcement.  If any party institutes legal action to enforce
     or interpret the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the prevailing
     party shall be awarded reasonable attorneys' fees at all trial and
     appellate levels, and the expenses and costs incurred by such prevailing
     party in connection therewith. Venue for any such action shall exclusively
     be Roanoke, Virginia.
 
        5.12.  Arbitration.
 
             (i) Any dispute under Section 3 hereof, including but not limited
        to the determination by the Board of a termination for Cause pursuant to
        Section 3.2.3 hereof or in respect of the breach thereof will be settled
        by arbitration in Roanoke, Virginia. The arbitration will be
        accomplished in the following manner. Either party may serve upon the
        other party written demand that the dispute, specifying the nature
        thereof, shall be submitted to arbitration. Within ten (10) days after
        the service of such demand, each of the parties will designate an
        arbitrator and serve written notice of such appointment upon the other
        party. If either party fails within the specified time to appoint such
        arbitrator, the other party will be entitled to appoint both
        arbitrators. The two (2) arbitrators so appointed will appoint a third
        arbitrator.
 
             (ii) The decision of the arbitrators will be final and binding upon
        the parties. The arbitration will be conducted, to the extent consistent
        with this Section 5.12, in accordance with the then prevailing rules of
        commercial arbitration of the American Arbitration Association or its
        successor.

     EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of April 1, 1996, between Innotech, Inc., a
corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware ("Employer"), and

     WHEREAS, Executive desires to provide services to Employer and Employer
desires to retain the services of Executive;
 
     WHEREAS, Employer and Executive desire to formalize the terms and
conditions of Executive's employment with Employer.
 
     NOW, THEREFORE, Employer and Executive hereby agree as follows:
 
        1.  Employment.
 
             1.1.  General.  Employer hereby employs Executive in the capacity

        Board of Directors (the "Board"). Executive shall use her reasonable
        efforts to perform faithfully and effectively such responsibilities.
        Executive shall conduct all of her activities in a manner so as to

        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event
        Employer requires Executive to relocate to a location outside of the
        metropolitan Roanoke area and Executive fails to so relocate, such
        failure shall not be deemed to be grounds for termination for "Cause"
        (as defined in Section 3.2.3. hereof).
 
          2.  Compensation and Benefits.
 
             2.1.  Salary.  Employer will pay to Executive, and Executive will

        $78,000 or at such rate as the Board, in its sole discretion, may
        hereafter from time to time grant to Executive ("Base Salary"), payable
        in accordance with the regular payroll practices of Employer, and (ii)
        the additional benefits hereinafter set forth in this Section 2.
 
             2.2.  Additional Compensation.  Executive shall be entitled to

           all in accordance with Employer's policies with respect thereto.
 
                2.3.2.  Employer Plans.  Executive will be entitled to
           participate in such executive benefit plans and programs as Employer
           may from time to time offer or provide to executives of Employer,

<PAGE>   2
 
                2.3.3.  Vacation.  Executive shall be eligible for paid vacation
           leave, accruing one day of leave for each 5.2 weeks of employment, or

           vacation days from year to year in accordance with Employer's
           published vacation policies. Such vacation time shall be at such
           times as shall be approved by the Chief Operating Officer, President
           or Chairman of Employer.
 
          3.  Termination of Employment.
 
             3.1.  Termination.  Executive's employment by Employer pursuant to
        this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and will continue until
        the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement. Thereafter, it will
        continue for successive one-year periods commencing on April 1 of each
        subsequent year; provided, however, that either party may elect to
        terminate this Agreement as of March 31, 1997, or as of any subsequent
        March 31, by written notice to such effect delivered to the other party
        at least 90 days prior to such termination date. Upon termination of
        Executive's employment with Employer pursuant to Sections 3.2.2 through
        3.2.6 hereof, inclusive, Executive will be released from any duties and
        obligations hereunder (except those duties and obligations set forth in
        Sections 4, 5.11, 5.12 and 5.13 hereof), and the obligations of Employer
        to Executive will be as set forth in Section 3.3 hereof.
 
             3.2.  Events of Termination.  Executive's employment with Employer
        will terminate upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following
        events:
 
                3.2.1.  Death.  In the event of the Executive's death,
           Executive's employment will terminate on the date of death.
 
                3.2.2.  Disability.  In the event of Executive's Disability (as
           hereinafter defined), Employer will have the option to terminate
           Executive's employment by giving a notice of termination to
           Executive. The notice of termination shall specify the date of
           termination, which date shall not be earlier than thirty (30) days
           after the notice of termination is given. For purposes of this
           Agreement, "Disability" means the inability of Executive to
           substantially perform her duties hereunder for 90 days out of 180
           consecutive days as a result of a physical or mental illness, all as
           determined in good faith by the Board.
 
                3.2.3.  Termination by Employer for Cause.  Employer may, at its
           option, terminate Executive's employment for "Cause" based on
           objective factors determined in good faith by a majority of the Board
           by giving a notice of termination to Executive specifying the reasons
           for termination, and if Executive shall fail to cure same within ten
           (10) days of her receiving the notice of termination, her Employment
           shall terminate at the end of such ten (10) day period; provided,
           that in the event the Board in good faith determines that the
           underlying reasons giving rise to such determination cannot be cured,
           then said cure period shall not apply and Executive's employment
           shall terminate on the date of Executive's receipt of the notice of
           termination. "Cause" shall mean (i) Executive's conviction of, guilty
           plea to, or confession of guilt of, a felony, (ii) dishonest or
           illegal conduct or misconduct or malfeasance by Executive in the
           performance of services for or on behalf of the Employer, or other
           conduct detrimental to the business, operations or reputation of the
           Employer, regardless of whether such conduct is within the scope of
           Executive's duties, (iii) failure by Executive to perform her duties,
           as assigned to her by the Chief Executive Officer, President,
           Chairman or the Board from time to time, (iv) violation by Executive
           of the covenants set forth in this Agreement, (v) the filing by or
           against Executive of any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization
           proceeding and (vi) except as may be permitted herein, disclosure of
           Confidential Information (as defined in Section 4.1 hereof) without
           the prior written consent of Employer.
 
                3.2.4.  Without Cause By Employer.  Employer may, at its option,
           terminate the Executive's employment for any reason whatsoever (other
           than for the reasons set forth above in this Section 3.2) by giving a
           notice of termination to Executive, and Executive's employment shall
           terminate on the later of the date the notice of termination is given
           or the date set forth in such notice of termination.

                3.2.5.  Employer's Material Breach.  Executive may, at her
           option, terminate the Executive's employment upon Employer's material
           breach of this Agreement by giving Employer written notice of such
           breach (which notice will identify the manner in which Employer has
           materially breached this Agreement) and if such breach is not cured
           within thirty (30) days of Employer receiving such written notice,
           the Executive's employment shall terminate at the end of such thirty
           (30) day period. Employer's "Material Breach" of this Agreement shall
           mean (i) the failure of Employer to pay Base Salary or additional
           compensation hereunder in accordance with this Agreement or (ii) the
           assignment to Executive without Executive's consent of duties
           substantially inconsistent with her duties as set forth in Section
           1.2 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employer shall have the
           right to remove Executive's title and duties as Treasurer of the
           Corporation, and such change shall not be deemed to be a material
           breach by Employer of this Agreement. Employer shall not be entitled
           to the payments provided in Section 3.3.2 hereof solely as a result
           of such change in title and duties.
 
                3.2.6.  Without Cause By Executive.  Executive may terminate the
           Executive's employment for any reason whatsoever by giving a notice
           of termination to Employer. The Executive's employment shall
           terminate on the earlier of (i) the date, following the date of the
           notice of termination, upon which a suitable replacement for
           Executive is found by Employer, or (ii) 5 days after the date of
           receipt by Employer of the notice of termination.
 
             3.3.  Certain Obligations of Employer Following Termination of the
        Executive's Employment. Following the termination of Executive's
        employment under the circumstances described below, Employer will pay to
        Executive in accordance with its regular payroll practices the following
        compensation and provide the following benefits in full satisfaction and
        final settlement of any and all claims and demands that Executive now
        has or hereafter may have hereunder a gainst Employer:
 
                3.3.1.  Death; Disability.  In the event that Executive's
           employment is terminated by reason of Executive's death or
           Disability, Executive or her estate, as the case may be, shall be
           entitled to the following payments:
 
                    (i) Base Salary through the date the Executive's employment
               is terminated; and
 
                    (ii) Employer shall pay to Executive or her estate, as the
               case may be, the amounts and shall provide all benefits generally
               available under the employee benefit plans, and the policies and
               practices of Employer, determined in accordance with the
               applicable terms and provisions of such plans, policies and
               practices, in each case, as accrued to the date of termination or
               otherwise payable as a consequence of Executive's death or
               Disability.
 
                3.3.2.  Without Cause by Employer; Material Breach by
           Employer.  In the event that the Executive's employment is terminated
           by Employer pursuant to Section 3.2.4 hereof or by Executive pursuant
           to Section 3.2.5 hereof, Executive shall be entitled to the following
           payments:
 
                    (i) Base Salary through the date the Executive's employment
               is terminated; and
 
                    (ii) a pro-rata portion of any amounts Executive would be
               entitled to under the MICP, if any, accrued on or prior to date
               Executive's employment is terminated for any reason hereunder.
 
                    (iii) continuing payments of Base Salary, payable in
               accordance with the regular payroll practices of Employer, for
               six (6) months following the date of termination of Executive's
               employment.
 
                3.3.3.  Termination by Executive Without Cause or by Employer
           for Cause.  In the event the Executive's employment is terminated by
           Executive pursuant to Section 3.2.6 hereof or by Employer pursuant to
           Section 3.2.3 hereof, Executive shall be entitled to no further
           compensation or other benefits under this Agreement except as to that
           portion of any unpaid Base Salary and other benefits accrued and
           earned by her hereunder up to and including the effective date of
 
                                        3
<PAGE>   4
 
           such termination. In addition, Executive shall be entitled to receive
           any additional compensation earned but not yet paid with respect only
           to any calendar year prior to the calendar year of termination.
 
             3.4.  Nature of Payments.  All amounts to be paid by Employer to
        Executive pursuant to this Section 3 are considered by the parties to be
        severance payments. In the event such payments are treated as damages,
        it is expressly acknowledged by the parties that damages to Executive
        for termination of employment would be difficult to ascertain and the
        above amounts are reasonable estimates thereof.
 
          4.  Confidentiality; Nonsolicitation; Non-Compete.
 
             4.1.  Confidential Information Defined.  "Confidential Information"
        means any and all information (oral or written) relating to Employer or
        any person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with
        Employer or any of their respective activities, including, but not
        limited to, information relating to: discoveries, innovations,
        chemistry, patents, patent applications, know how, secret processes,
        research, test procedures and results, machinery and equipment;
        manufacturing processes; financial information; products; identity and
        description of materials and services used; purchasing; costs; pricing;
        customers and prospects; advertising, promotion and marketing;
        trademarks and trademark registrations; copyrights and copyright
        registrations; and information pertaining to any governmental
        investigation, except such information which can be shown by Executive
        to be generally in the public domain (such information not being deemed
        to be in the public domain merely because it is embraced by more general
        information which is in the public domain), other than as a result of a
        breach of the provisions of Section 4.2 hereof.
 
             4.2.  Nondisclosure of Confidential Information.  Executive will
        not, at any time (other than as may be required or appropriate in
        connection with the performance by her of her duties hereunder) directly
        or indirectly, use, communicate, disclose or disseminate any
        Confidential Information in any manner whatsoever (except as may be
        required under legal process by subpoena or other court order; provided,
        that, Executive will take reasonable steps to give Employer sufficient
        prior written notice in order to contest such requirement or order).
 
             4.3.  Certain Activities.  Executive will not while employed by
        Employer and thereafter, directly or indirectly, hire, offer to hire,
        entice away or in any other manner persuade or attempt to persuade any
        officer, employee, agent, lessor, lessee, licensor, licensee, customer,
        prospective customer, supplier or shareholder or prospective shareholder
        of Employer to discontinue or alter her or its relationship with
        Employer.
 
             4.4.  Covenant Not to Compete.  During the Executive's employment
        and for a period of two (2) years after the termination of Executive's
        employment, Executive will not directly or indirectly engage in
        competition with Employer by being associated with any competitor of
        Employer that sells or offers to sell any products or services which
        compete with the products or services offered or sold by Employer or
        being developed by Employer for sale at the time of termination of the
        Executive, or induce or attempt to induce, directly or indirectly, any
        then current or potential customer of Employer to cease doing business,
        in whole or in part, with Employer or solicit business of any such
        customer for any products or services of any competitor of Employer
        which compete with the products or services offered or sold by Employer
        or being developed by Employer for sale at the time of termination of
        the Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Executive's
        employment is terminated by Employer without Cause or due to Employer's
        Material Breach of this Agreement, this Section 4.4 shall only apply to
        the products or services offered or sold by Employer that relate to its
        SurfaceCasting technology.
 
             4.5.  Injunctive Relief.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that
        (a) Employer will be irreparably injured in the event of a breach by
        Executive of any of her obligations under this Section 4; (b) monetary
        damages will not be an adequate remedy for any such breach; (c) Employer
        will be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy
        which it may have, in the event of any
 
                                        4
<PAGE>   5
 
        such breach, including, but not limited to, termination of the
        Executive's employment for Cause; and (d) the existence of any claims
        which Executive may have against Employer, whether under this Agreement
        or otherwise, will not be a defense to the enforcement by Employer of
        any of its rights under this Section 4.
 
             4.6.  Nonexclusivity and Survival.  The covenants and obligations
        of Executive contained in this Section 4 are in addition to, and not in
        lieu of, any covenants and obligations which Executive may have with
        respect to the subject matter hereof, whether by contract, as a matter
        of law or otherwise, and such covenants and obligations, and their
        enforceability, will survive any termination of Executive's employment
        by either party and any investigation made with respect to the breach
        thereof by Employer at any time.
 
          5.  Miscellaneous Provisions.
 
             5.1.  Severability.  If in any jurisdiction any term or provision
        hereof is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, (a) the remaining
        terms and provisions hereof shall be unimpaired, (b) any such invalidity
        or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
        unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction, and (c) the
        invalid or unenforceable term or provision shall, for purposes of such
        jurisdiction, be deemed replaced by a term or provision that is valid
        and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of
        the invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

        amended, waived or discharged in any manner except by a written
        instrument executed by Employer and Executive.
 
             5.5.  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire
        agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
        hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the
        parties hereto, oral or written, with respect to the subject matter
        hereof.
 
             5.6.  Applicable Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and
        construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia
        applicable to contracts made and to be wholly performed therein without
        regard to its conflicts or choice of law provisions.
 
             5.7.  Headings.  The headings contained herein are for the sole

             5.9.  Waiver, etc.  The failure of either of the parties hereto to
        at any time enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be
        deemed or construed to be a waiver of any such provision, nor to in any
        way affect the validity of this Agreement or any provision hereof or the
        right of either of the parties hereto to thereafter enforce each and
        every provision of this Agreement. No waiver of any breach of any of the
        provisions of this Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in a

        capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement, and to perform her or
        its obligations hereunder; (b) such execution, delivery and performance
        will not (and with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would
        not) result in the breach of any agreements or other obligations to
        which she or it is a party or she or it is otherwise bound; and (c) this

        its terms.

        enforce or interpret the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
        prevailing party shall be awarded reasonable attorneys' fees at all
        trial and appellate levels, and the expenses and costs incurred by such
        prevailing party in connection therewith. Venue for any such action
        shall exclusively be Roanoke, Virginia.
 
           5.12.  Arbitration.

           limited to the determination by the Board of a termination for Cause
           pursuant to Section 3.2.3 hereof or in respect of the breach thereof
           will be settled by arbitration in Roanoke, Virginia. The arbitration
           will be accomplished in the following manner. Either party may serve
           upon the other party written demand that the dispute, specifying the
           nature thereof, shall be submitted to arbitration. Within ten (10)
           days after the service of such demand, each of the parties will
           designate an arbitrator and serve written notice of such appointment
           upon the other party. If either party fails within the specified time
           to appoint such arbitrator, the other party will be entitled to
           appoint both arbitrators. The two (2) arbitrators so appointed will
           appoint a third arbitrator.
 
                (ii) The decision of the arbitrators will be final and binding
           upon the parties. The arbitration will be conducted, to the extent
           consistent with this Section 5.12, in accordance with the then
           prevailing rules of commercial arbitration of the American
           Arbitration Association or its successor.
 
             5.13.  Continuing Effect.  Where the context of this Agreement
        requires, the respective rights and obligations of the parties shall
        survive any termination or expiration of the term of this Agreement.

                            NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT
 
     THIS NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered this
10th day of February 1997, by and between JOHNSON & JOHNSON, a New Jersey
corporation ("J&J"), and DR. RONALD BLUM, an individual (the "Stockholder").
 
                                   WITNESSETH
 
     WHEREAS, the Stockholder is a stockholder of Innotech, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and is also a key executive officer of the Company;
and
 
     WHEREAS, pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, an
Agreement and Plan of Merger with the Company (the "Merger Agreement"), J&J
through a subsidiary ("Sub") will make a tender offer (the "Offer") to purchase
all the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company (the
"Shares"), and the now existing stockholders of the Company will receive a cash
payment per share constituting a significant premium to the market price of the
stock of the Company; and
 
     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has adopted resolutions
approving the Offer and the subsequent merger of Sub into the Company (the
"Merger"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger
Agreement; and
 
     WHEREAS, following the Merger, J&J intends, or intends to cause Sub, to
continue to conduct and operate the business of the Company; and
 
     WHEREAS, as an inducement to J&J to enter into the Merger Agreement and to
acquire the Company stock owned by (and to pay the amount set forth in Section
7.04(a) of the Merger Agreement in respect of the Company stock options held by)
the Stockholder, the Stockholder is entering into this Agreement:
 
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements
hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
          1.  Noncompetition.  (a) The Stockholder agrees that for the period of
     the Stockholder's employment following the Closing with J&J, or any
     subsidiary thereof, and for two (2) years following the termination of such
     employment (regardless of the circumstances under which such employment is
     terminated) (such period, the "Noncompetition Period"), the Stockholder
     will not have any Relationship (as defined below) with any entity,
     including but not limited to any corporation, partnership, limited
     liability company, sole proprietorship or unincorporated business (whether
     or not for profit) (such entity, a "Business") in the course of which
     Relationship the Stockholder engages in or assists such Business with
     respect to the ophthalmic spectacle lens business (which business shall not
     include lens analyzing equipment) ("Lens Products and Services").
 
          (b) In the event that the Company terminates the Stockholder's
     employment without Cause (as defined below), the Company shall (x) continue
     to pay such Stockholder through the end of the Noncompetition Period
     (payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company)
     an annual amount equal to the salary that the Stockholder was receiving
     immediately prior to such termination and (y) continue to provide all
     benefits generally available under employee benefit plans or the practices
     and policies of the Company at the time of such termination (other than
     stock option or similar plans), determined in accordance with the
     provisions of such plans, practices and policies. "Cause" shall mean (i)
     Stockholder's conviction of, guilty plea to, or confession of guilt of, a
     felony, (ii) dishonest or illegal conduct or misconduct or malfeasance by
     the Stockholder in the performance of services for or on behalf of the
     Company, or other conduct detrimental to the business, operations or
     reputation of the Company, regardless of whether such conduct is within the
     scope of Stockholder's duty, (iii) failure by the Stockholder to perform
     his duties, as assigned to him by Bernard W. Walsh from time to time,
     provided that such duties are not inconsistent with the Stockholder's
     current duties, or
<PAGE>   2
 
     (iv) violation by the Stockholder of the covenants set forth in this
     Agreement; provided, however, that "Cause" shall, in no circumstances mean
     the failure by the Stockholder to relocate in the event the Company
     relocates its place of business and the Stockholder is unable to perform
     his duties without so relocating.
 
          (c)  The Stockholder will be deemed to have a relationship (a
     "Relationship") with a Business if such Stockholder (i) owns, manages,
     operates, joins, or is employed by such Business, (ii) is a director,
     member, agent, shareholder, owner or general partner of such Business,
     (iii) acts as a consultant or advisor to such Business or (iv) controls or
     participates in the ownership, management or operation of, such Business;
     provided however, that nothing herein shall prevent the purchase or
     ownership by the Stockholder (and his "associates" as defined by the
     Securities and Exchange Commission's Proxy Rules) of an interest in a
     Business that constitutes less than 5% of the outstanding equity securities
     of such Business.
 
          2.  Nonsolicitation of Clients.  During the Noncompetition Period, the
     Stockholder agrees that he will not directly or indirectly provide Lens
     Products and Services (whether as an employee, consultant, advisor or
     otherwise) to any entity that at such time is, or at any time in the twelve
     (12) month period prior to such time had been, a customer of the Company
     unless (a) the Stockholder is employed by J&J or a subsidiary thereof and
     such solicitation is made on behalf of, or payment for the performance of
     such services is made to, such employer or (b) the Stockholder shall have
     previously obtained a written release specifically permitting an action
     that would otherwise be prohibited by the provisions of this Paragraph 2.
 
          3.  Nonsolicitation of Employees and Consultants.  During the
     Noncompetition Period, the Stockholder agrees that he will not directly or
     indirectly solicit, influence, entice or encourage any person who at such
     time is, or who at any time in the three (3) month period prior to such
     time had been, an employee of or consultant to the Company or J&J to cease
     or curtail his or her relationship therewith.
 
          4.  Nondisruption; Other Matters.  During the Noncompetition Period,
     the Stockholder agrees that he will not directly or indirectly interfere
     with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt any past, present or prospective
     relationship, contractual or otherwise, between the Company or J&J, on the
     one hand, and any of their respective customers, suppliers or employees, on
     the other hand.
 
          5.  Confidential Information.  The Stockholder covenants and agrees
     that, during the Noncompetition Period, he shall not use for his own behalf
     or divulge to any other person or entity any confidential information or
     trade secrets of or relating to the Company. The Stockholder further
     covenants and agrees that, during the Noncompetition Period, he shall not
     take or remove from the property of the Company any documentary copies,
     records or materials containing any such confidential information or trade
     secrets. As used herein, confidential information shall consist of all
     information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or J&J (including
     all information relating to inventions, production methods, customer and
     prospective customer lists, prices and trade practices) which is not in the
     public domain or otherwise published or publicly available.
 
          6.  Equitable Relief.  The Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that
     J&J's remedies at law for breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement
     would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, the Stockholder
     agrees that, in the event of such breach, in addition to any remedies at
     law it may have, J&J, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain
     equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary
     restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction or any other
     equitable remedy that may be available. The Stockholder further
     acknowledges that should the Stockholder violate any of the provisions of
     this Agreement, it will be difficult to determine the amount of damages
     resulting to J&J or its affiliates and that in addition to any other
     remedies it may have J&J shall be entitled to temporary and permanent
     injunctive relief.
 
          7.  Merger Agreement.  J&J represents that concurrently with the
     execution of this Agreement, J&J is executing the Merger Agreement, and
     subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement will cause the Offer to be
     commenced as provided in the Merger Agreement.
 
                                        2
<PAGE>   3
 
          8.  Acknowledgement.  Each of the Stockholder and J&J acknowledges and
     agrees that the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement have
     been negotiated in good faith by the parties, and are reasonable and are
     not more restrictive or broader than necessary to protect the interests of
     the parties hereto, and would not achieve their intended purpose if they
     were on different terms or for periods of time shorter than the periods of
     time provided herein or applied in more restrictive geographical areas than
     are provided herein. Each party further acknowledges that J&J would not
     enter into the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby
     (including, without limitation, the purchase of the Shares held by the
     Stockholder and payment in respect of the stock options granted to him by
     the Company) in the absence of the covenants and agreements contained in
     this Agreement and that such covenants and agreements are essential to
     protect the value of the Company.
 
          9.  Reasonableness of Provisions; Severability.  The Stockholder
     expressly understands and agrees that although both he and J&J consider the
     covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, including the
     restrictions contained in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, to be reasonable,
     if a final judicial determination is made by a court of competent
     jurisdiction that the time or territory restrictions contained herein, or
     any other provision or restriction contained herein, is an unenforceable
     provision or restriction against the Stockholder, the provisions and
     restrictions of this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be
     deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such
     maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be
     enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds
     that any provision or restriction contained in this Agreement is
     unenforceable, and such provision or restriction cannot be amended so as to
     make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of
     any of the remaining provisions and restrictions contained herein, which
     remaining provisions and restrictions shall be deemed severable from the
     unenforceable provision or restriction and shall remain in full force and
     effect.
 
          10.  Not an Employment Agreement.  This Agreement is not, and nothing
     in this Agreement shall be construed as, an agreement to provide employment
     to the Stockholder. The provisions of Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of this
     Agreement shall be operative regardless of the reasons for any termination
     of the Stockholder's employment and regardless of the performance or
     nonperformance by any party under any other section of this Agreement.
 
          11.  Governing Law.  This Agreement is made under and shall be
     governed by, construed in accordance with and enforced under the laws of
     the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws provisions of New
     York law.
 
          12.  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement together with the Merger
     Agreement and the Stockholder Agreement (as defined in the Merger
     Agreement) constitutes and contains the entire agreement and understanding
     concerning the subject matter addressed herein between the parties, and
     supersedes and replaces all prior negotiations and all agreements proposed
     or otherwise, whether written or oral, concerning the subject matter
     hereof, and the parties hereto have made no agreements, representations or
     warranties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement that are not
     set forth herein or in the Merger Agreement or the Stockholder Agreement.

     against whom enforcement of the waiver or estoppel is sought. Any written
     waiver shall operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and
     shall not constitute a waiver of such term or condition for the future or

     assume the obligations of J&J hereunder, by a written agreement addressed
     to the Stockholder, concurrently with any assignment with the same effect

                            NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT
 
     THIS NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered this
10th day of February 1997, by and between JOHNSON & JOHNSON, a New Jersey
corporation ("J&J"), and DR. AMITAVA GUPTA, an individual (the "Stockholder").
 
                              W I T N E S S E T H
 
     WHEREAS, the Stockholder is a stockholder of Innotech, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and is also a key executive officer of the Company;
and
 
     WHEREAS, pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, an
Agreement and Plan of Merger
with the Company (the "Merger Agreement"), J&J through a subsidiary ("Sub") will
make a tender offer (the "Offer") to purchase all the issued and outstanding
shares of capital stock of the Company (the "Shares"), and the now existing
stockholders of the Company will receive a cash payment per share constituting a
significant premium to the market price of the stock of the Company; and
 
     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has adopted resolutions
approving the Offer and the subsequent merger of Sub into the Company (the
"Merger"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger
Agreement; and
 
     WHEREAS, following the Merger, J&J intends, or intends to cause Sub, to
continue to conduct and operate the business of the Company; and
 
     WHEREAS, as an inducement to J&J to enter into the Merger Agreement and to
acquire the Company stock owned by (and to pay the amount set forth in Section
7.04(a) of the Merger Agreement in respect of the Company stock options held by)
the Stockholder, the Stockholder is entering into this Agreement:
 
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements
hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
          1.  Noncompetition.  (a) The Stockholder agrees that for the period of
     the Stockholder's employment following the Closing with J&J, or any
     subsidiary thereof, and for two (2) years following the termination of such
     employment (regardless of the circumstances under which such employment is
     terminated) (such period, the "Noncompetition Period"), the Stockholder
     will not have any Relationship (as defined below) with any entity,
     including but not limited to any corporation, partnership, limited
     liability company, sole proprietorship or unincorporated business (whether
     or not for profit) (such entity, a "Business") in the course of which
     Relationship the Stockholder engages in or assists such Business with
     respect to the ophthalmic lens business (which business shall not include
     lens analyzing equipment) ("Lens Products and Services"). The foregoing
     shall not preclude the Stockholder from having a Relationship with Prism
     Ophthalmics, L.L.C., provided that the Stockholder's Relationship therewith
     is not inconsistent with the Letter Agreement dated the date hereof, a copy
     of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
 
          (b) In the event that the Company terminates the Stockholder's
     employment without Cause (as defined below), the Company shall (x) continue
     to pay such Stockholder through the end of the Noncompetition Period
     (payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company)
     an annual amount equal to the salary that the Stockholder was receiving
     immediately prior to such termination and (y) continue to provide all
     benefits generally available under employee benefit plans or the practices
     and policies of the Company at the time of such termination (other than
     stock option or similar plans), determined in accordance with the
     provisions of such plans, practices and policies. "Cause" shall mean (i)
     Stockholder's conviction of, guilty plea to, or confession of guilt of, a
     felony, (ii) dishonest or illegal conduct or misconduct or malfeasance by
     the Stockholder in the performance of services for or on behalf of the
     Company, or other conduct detrimental to the business, operations or
<PAGE>   2
 
     reputation of the Company, regardless of whether such conduct is within the
     scope of Stockholder's duty, (iii) failure by the Stockholder to perform
     his duties, as assigned to him by the senior officer of the Company from
     time to time, provided that such duties are not inconsistent with the
     Stockholder's current duties, or (iv) violation by the Stockholder of the
     covenants set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that "Cause"
     shall, in no circumstances mean the failure by the Stockholder to relocate
     in the event the Company relocates its place of business and the
     Stockholder is unable to perform his duties without so relocating.
 
          (c) The Stockholder will be deemed to have a relationship (a
     "Relationship") with a Business if such Stockholder (i) owns, manages,
     operates, joins, or is employed by such Business, (ii) is a director,
     member, agent, shareholder, owner or general partner of such Business,
     (iii) acts as a consultant or advisor to such Business or (iv) controls or
     participates in the ownership, management or operation of, such Business;
     provided however, that nothing herein shall prevent the purchase or
     ownership by the Stockholder (and his "associates" as defined by the
     Securities and Exchange Commission's Proxy Rules) of an interest in a
     Business that constitutes less than 5% of the outstanding equity securities
     of such Business.
 
          2.  Nonsolicitation of Clients.  During the Noncompetition Period, the
     Stockholder agrees that he
     will not directly or indirectly provide Lens Products and Services (whether
     as an employee, consultant, advisor or otherwise) to any entity that at
     such time is, or at any time in the twelve (12) month period prior to such
     time had been, a customer of the Company unless (a) the Stockholder is
     employed by J&J or a subsidiary thereof and such solicitation is made on
     behalf of, or payment for the performance of such services is made to, such
     employer or (b) the Stockholder shall have previously obtained a written
     release specifically permitting an action that would otherwise be
     prohibited by the provisions of this Paragraph 2.
 
          3.  Nonsolicitation of Employees and Consultants.  During the
     Noncompetition Period, the Stockholder agrees that he will not directly or
     indirectly solicit, influence, entice or encourage any person who at such
     time is, or who at any time in the three (3) month period prior to such
     time had been, an employee of or consultant to the Company or J&J to cease
     or curtail his or her relationship therewith.
 
          4.  Nondisruption; Other Matters.  During the Noncompetition Period,
     the Stockholder agrees that he will not directly or indirectly interfere
     with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt any past, present or prospective
     relationship, contractual or otherwise, between the Company or J&J, on the
     one hand, and any of their respective customers, suppliers or employees, on
     the other hand.
 
          5.  Confidential Information.  The Stockholder covenants and agrees
     that, during the Noncompetition Period, he shall not use for his own behalf
     or divulge to any other person or entity any confidential information or
     trade secrets of or relating to the Company. The Stockholder further
     covenants and agrees that, during the Noncompetition Period, he shall not
     take or remove from the property of the Company any documentary copies,
     records or materials containing any such confidential information or trade
     secrets. As used herein, confidential information shall consist of all
     information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or J&J (including
     all information relating to inventions, production methods, customer and
     prospective customer lists, prices and trade practices) which is not in the
     public domain or otherwise published or publicly available.
 
          6.  Position.  The Stockholder will at all times report directly to
     the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, or if there is no Chief
     Executive Officer, to the highest executive officer of the Company.
 
          7.  Equitable Relief.  The Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that
     J&J's remedies at law for breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement
     would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, the Stockholder
     agrees that, in the event of such breach, in addition to any remedies at
     law it may have, J&J, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain
     equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary
     restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction or any other
     equitable remedy that may be available. The Stockholder further
     acknowledges that should the Stockholder violate any of the provisions of
     this Agreement, it will be difficult to determine the amount of damages
     resulting to J&J or
 
                                        2
<PAGE>   3
 
     its affiliates and that in addition to any other remedies it may have J&J
     shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief.
 
          8.  Merger Agreement.  J&J represents that concurrently with the
     execution of this Agreement, J&J is executing the Merger Agreement, and
     subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement will cause the Offer to be
     commenced as provided in the Merger Agreement.
 
          9.  Acknowledgement.  Each of the Stockholder and J&J acknowledges and
     agrees that the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement have
     been negotiated in good faith by the parties, and are reasonable and are
     not more restrictive or broader than necessary to protect the interests of
     the parties hereto, and would not achieve their intended purpose if they
     were on different terms or for periods of time shorter than the periods of
     time provided herein or applied in more restrictive geographical areas than
     are provided herein. Each party further acknowledges that J&J would not
     enter into the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby
     (including, without limitation, the purchase of the Shares held by the
     Stockholder and payment in respect of the stock options granted to him by
     the Company) in the absence of the covenants and agreements contained in
     this Agreement and that such covenants and agreements are essential to
     protect the value of the Company.
 
          10.  Reasonableness of Provisions; Severability.  The Stockholder
     expressly understands and agrees that although both he and J&J consider the
     covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, including the
     restrictions contained in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, to be reasonable,
     if a final judicial determination is made by a court of competent
     jurisdiction that the time or territory restrictions contained herein, or
     any other provision or restriction contained herein, is an unenforceable
     provision or restriction against the Stockholder, the provisions and
     restrictions of this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be
     deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such
     maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be
     enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds
     that any provision or restriction contained in this Agreement is
     unenforceable, and such provision or restriction cannot be amended so as to
     make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of
     any of the remaining provisions and restrictions contained herein, which
     remaining provisions and restrictions shall be deemed severable from the
     unenforceable provision or restriction and shall remain in full force and
     effect.
 
          11.  Not an Employment Agreement.  This Agreement is not, and nothing
     in this Agreement shall be construed as, an agreement to provide employment
     to the Stockholder. The provisions of Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of this
     Agreement shall be operative regardless of the reasons for any termination
     of the Stockholder's employment and regardless of the performance or
     nonperformance by any party under any other section of this Agreement.
 
          12.  Governing Law.  This Agreement is made under and shall be
     governed by, construed in accordance with and enforced under the laws of
     the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws provisions of New
     York law.
 
          13.  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement together with the Merger
     Agreement and the Stockholder Agreement (as defined in the Merger
     Agreement) constitutes and contains the entire agreement and understanding
     concerning the subject matter addressed herein between the parties, and
     supersedes and replaces all prior negotiations and all agreements proposed
     or otherwise, whether written or oral, concerning the subject matter
     hereof, and the parties hereto have made no agreements, representations or
     warranties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement that are not
     set forth herein or in the Merger Agreement or the Stockholder Agreement.

                            NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT
 
     THIS NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered this
10th day of February 1997, by and between JOHNSON & JOHNSON, a New Jersey
corporation ("J&J"), and STEVEN A. BENNINGTON, an individual (the
"Stockholder").
 
                              W I T N E S S E T H
 
     WHEREAS, the Stockholder is a stockholder of Innotech, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and is also a key executive officer of the Company;
and
 
     WHEREAS, pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, an
Agreement and Plan of Merger with the Company (the "Merger Agreement"), J&J
through a subsidiary ("Sub") will make a tender offer (the "Offer") to purchase
all the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company (the
"Shares"), and the now existing stockholders of the Company will receive a cash
payment per share constituting a significant premium to the market price of the
stock of the Company; and
 
     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has adopted resolutions
approving the Offer and the subsequent merger of Sub into the Company (the
"Merger"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger
Agreement; and
 
     WHEREAS, following the Merger, J&J intends, or intends to cause Sub, to
continue to conduct and operate the business of the Company; and
 
     WHEREAS, as an inducement to J&J to enter into the Merger Agreement and to
acquire the Company stock owned by (and to pay the amount set forth in Section

the Stockholder, the Stockholder is entering into this Agreement:
 
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements
hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
          1.  Noncompetition.  (a) The Stockholder agrees that for the period of
     the Stockholder's employment following the Closing with J&J, or any
     subsidiary thereof, and for two (2) years following the termination of such
     employment (regardless of the circumstances under which such employment is
     terminated) (such period, the "Noncompetition Period"), the Stockholder
     will not have any Relationship (as defined below) with any entity,
     including but not limited to any corporation, partnership, limited
     liability company, sole proprietorship or unincorporated business (whether

     Relationship the Stockholder engages in or assists such Business with
     respect to the ophthalmic spectacle lens business (which business shall not
     include lens analyzing equipment) ("Lens Products and Services"). The

     with Prism Ophthalmics, L.L.C., provided that the Stockholder's
     Relationship therewith is not inconsistent with the Letter Agreement dated
     the date hereof, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
 
          (b) In the event that the Company terminates the Stockholder's
     employment without Cause (as defined below), the Company shall (x) continue
     to pay such Stockholder through the end of the Noncompetition Period

     benefits generally available under employee benefit plans or the practices
     and policies of the Company at the time of such termination (other than
     stock option or similar plans), determined in accordance with the
     provisions of such plans, practices and policies. "Cause" shall mean (i)
     Stockholder's conviction of, guilty plea to, or confession of guilt of, a
     felony, (ii) dishonest or illegal conduct or misconduct or malfeasance by
     the Stockholder in the performance of services for or on behalf of the
     Company, or other conduct detrimental to the business, operations or
<PAGE>   2
 
     reputation of the Company, regardless of whether such conduct is within the
     scope of Stockholder's duty, (iii) failure by the Stockholder to perform
     his duties, as assigned to him by the senior officer of the Company from
     time to time, provided that such duties are not inconsistent with the
     Stockholder's current duties, or (iv) violation by the Stockholder of the
     covenants set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that "Cause"
     shall, in no circumstances mean the failure by the Stockholder to relocate
     in the event the Company relocates its place of business and the
     Stockholder is unable to perform his duties without so relocating.
 
          (c) The Stockholder will be deemed to have a relationship (a
     "Relationship") with a Business if such Stockholder (i) owns, manages,
     operates, joins, or is employed by such Business, (ii) is a director,
     member, agent, shareholder, owner or general partner of such Business,
     (iii) acts as a consultant or advisor to such Business or (iv) controls or
     participates in the ownership, management or operation of, such Business;
     provided however, that nothing herein shall prevent the purchase or
     ownership by the Stockholder (and his "associates" as defined by the
     Securities and Exchange Commission's Proxy Rules) of an interest in a
     Business that constitutes less than 5% of the outstanding equity securities
     of such Business.
 
          2.  Nonsolicitation of Clients.  During the Noncompetition Period, the
     Stockholder agrees that he will not directly or indirectly provide Lens
     Products and Services (whether as an employee, consultant, advisor or
     otherwise) to any entity that at such time is, or at any time in the twelve
     (12) month period prior to such time had been, a customer of the Company
     unless (a) the Stockholder is employed by J&J or a subsidiary thereof and
     such solicitation is made on behalf of, or payment for the performance of
     such services is made to, such employer or (b) the Stockholder shall have
     previously obtained a written release specifically permitting an action
     that would otherwise be prohibited by the provisions of this Paragraph 2.
 
          3.  Nonsolicitation of Employees and Consultants.  During the
     Noncompetition Period, the Stockholder agrees that he will not directly or
     indirectly solicit, influence, entice or encourage any person who at such

     time had been, an employee of or consultant to the Company or J&J to cease
     or curtail his or her relationship therewith.
 
          4.  Nondisruption; Other Matters.  During the Noncompetition Period,
     the Stockholder agrees that he will not directly or indirectly interfere
     with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt any past, present or prospective
     relationship, contractual or otherwise, between the Company or J&J, on the
     one hand, and any of their respective customers, suppliers or employees, on
     the other hand.
 
          5.  Confidential Information.  The Stockholder covenants and agrees
     that, during the Noncompetition Period, he shall not use for his own behalf
     or divulge to any other person or entity any confidential information or
     trade secrets of or relating to the Company. The Stockholder further
     covenants and agrees that, during the Noncompetition Period, he shall not
     take or remove from the property of the Company any documentary copies,
     records or materials containing any such confidential information or trade
     secrets. As used herein, confidential information shall consist of all
     information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or J&J (including
     all information relating to inventions, production methods, customer and
     prospective customer lists, prices and trade practices) which is not in the
     public domain or otherwise published or publicly available.
 
          6.  Equitable Relief.  The Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that
     J&J's remedies at law for breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement
     would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, the Stockholder
     agrees that, in the event of such breach, in addition to any remedies at
     law it may have, J&J, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain
     equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary
     restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction or any other
     equitable remedy that may be available. The Stockholder further
     acknowledges that should the Stockholder violate any of the provisions of
     this Agreement, it will be difficult to determine the amount of damages
     resulting to J&J or its affiliates and that in addition to any other
     remedies it may have J&J shall be entitled to temporary and permanent
     injunctive relief.

          7.  Merger Agreement.  J&J represents that concurrently with the
     execution of this Agreement, J&J is executing the Merger Agreement, and
     subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement will cause the Offer to be
     commenced as provided in the Merger Agreement.
 
          8.  Acknowledgement.  Each of the Stockholder and J&J acknowledges and
     agrees that the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement have
     been negotiated in good faith by the parties, and are reasonable and are
     not more restrictive or broader than necessary to protect the interests of
     the parties hereto, and would not achieve their intended purpose if they
     were on different terms or for periods of time shorter than the periods of
     time provided herein or applied in more restrictive geographical areas than
     are provided herein. Each party further acknowledges that J&J would not
     enter into the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby
     (including, without limitation, the purchase of the Shares held by the
     Stockholder and payment in respect of the stock options granted to him by
     the Company) in the absence of the covenants and agreements contained in
     this Agreement and that such covenants and agreements are essential to
     protect the value of the Company.
 
          9.  Reasonableness of Provisions; Severability.  The Stockholder
     expressly understands and agrees that although both he and J&J consider the
     covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, including the
     restrictions contained in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, to be reasonable,
     if a final judicial determination is made by a court of competent
     jurisdiction that the time or territory restrictions contained herein, or
     any other provision or restriction contained herein, is an unenforceable
     provision or restriction against the Stockholder, the provisions and
     restrictions of this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be
     deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such
     maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be
     enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds
     that any provision or restriction contained in this Agreement is
     unenforceable, and such provision or restriction cannot be amended so as to
     make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of
     any of the remaining provisions and restrictions contained herein, which
     remaining provisions and restrictions shall be deemed severable from the
     unenforceable provision or restriction and shall remain in full force and
     effect.
 
          10.  Not an Employment Agreement.  This Agreement is not, and nothing
     in this Agreement shall be construed as, an agreement to provide employment
     to the Stockholder. The provisions of Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of this
     Agreement shall be operative regardless of the reasons for any termination
     of the Stockholder's employment and regardless of the performance or
     nonperformance by any party under any other section of this Agreement.
 
          11.  Governing Law.  This Agreement is made under and shall be
     governed by, construed in accordance with and enforced under the laws of
     the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws provisions of New
     York law.
 
          12.  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement together with the Merger
     Agreement and the Stockholder Agreement (as defined in the Merger
     Agreement) constitutes and contains the entire agreement and understanding
     concerning the subject matter addressed herein between the parties, and
     supersedes and replaces all prior negotiations and all agreements proposed
     or otherwise, whether written or oral, concerning the subject matter
     hereof, and the parties hereto have made no agreements, representations or
     warranties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement that are not
     set forth herein or in the Merger Agreement or the Stockholder Agreement.

                            NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT
 
     THIS NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered this
10th day of February 1997, by and between JOHNSON & JOHNSON, a New Jersey
corporation ("J&J"), and ROBERT P. PADULA, an individual (the "Stockholder").
 
                              W I T N E S S E T H
 
     WHEREAS, the Stockholder is a stockholder of Innotech, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and is also a key executive officer of the Company;
and
 
     WHEREAS, pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, an
Agreement and Plan of Merger with the Company (the "Merger Agreement"), J&J
through a subsidiary ("Sub") will make a tender offer (the "Offer") to purchase
all the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company (the
"Shares"), and the now existing stockholders of the Company will receive a cash
payment per share constituting a significant premium to the market price of the
stock of the Company; and
 
     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has adopted resolutions
approving the Offer and the subsequent merger of Sub into the Company (the
"Merger"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger
Agreement; and
 
     WHEREAS, following the Merger, J&J intends, or intends to cause Sub, to
continue to conduct and operate the business of the Company; and
 
     WHEREAS, as an inducement to J&J to enter into the Merger Agreement and to
acquire the Company stock owned by (and to pay the amount set forth in Section
7.04(a) of the Merger Agreement in respect of the Company stock options held by)
the Stockholder, the Stockholder is entering into this Agreement:
 
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements
hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
          1.  Noncompetition.  (a) The Stockholder agrees that for the period of
     the Stockholder's employment following the Closing with J&J, or any
     subsidiary thereof, and for two (2) years following the termination of such
     employment (regardless of the circumstances under which such employment is
     terminated) (such period, the "Noncompetition Period"), the Stockholder
     will not have any Relationship (as defined below) with any entity,
     including but not limited to any corporation, partnership, limited
     liability company, sole proprietorship or unincorporated business (whether
     or not for profit) (such entity, a "Business") in the course of which
     Relationship the Stockholder engages in or assists such Business with
     respect to the ophthalmic spectacle lens business (which business shall not
     include lens analyzing equipment) ("Lens Products and Services").
 
          (b) In the event that the Company terminates the Stockholder's
     employment without Cause (as defined below), the Company shall (x) continue
     to pay such Stockholder through the end of the Noncompetition Period
     (payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company)
     an annual amount equal to the salary that the Stockholder was receiving
     immediately prior to such termination and (y) continue to provide all
     benefits generally available under employee benefit plans or the practices
     and policies of the Company at the time of such termination (other than
     stock option or similar plans), determined in accordance with the
     provisions of such plans, practices and policies. "Cause" shall mean (i)
     Stockholder's conviction of, guilty plea to, or confession of guilt of, a
     felony, (ii) dishonest or illegal conduct or misconduct or malfeasance by
     the Stockholder in the performance of services for or on behalf of the
     Company, or other conduct detrimental to the business, operations or
     reputation of the Company, regardless of whether such conduct is within the
     scope of Stockholder's duty, (iii) failure by the Stockholder to perform
     his duties, as assigned to him by the President from time to time, provided
     that such duties are not inconsistent with the Stockholder's current
     duties, or
<PAGE>   2
 
     (iv) violation by the Stockholder of the covenants set forth in this
     Agreement; provided, however, that "Cause" shall, in no circumstances mean
     the failure by the Stockholder to relocate in the event the Company
     relocates its place of business and the Stockholder is unable to perform
     his duties without so relocating.
 
          (c) The Stockholder will be deemed to have a relationship (a
     "Relationship") with a Business if such Stockholder (i) owns, manages,
     operates, joins, or is employed by such Business, (ii) is a director,
     member, agent, shareholder, owner or general partner of such Business,
     (iii) acts as a consultant or advisor to such Business or (iv) controls or
     participates in the ownership, management or operation of, such Business;
     provided however, that nothing herein shall prevent the purchase or
     ownership by the Stockholder (and his "associates" as defined by the
     Securities and Exchange Commission's Proxy Rules) of an interest in a
     Business that constitutes less than 5% of the outstanding equity securities
     of such Business.
 
          2. Nonsolicitation of Clients.  During the Noncompetition Period, the
     Stockholder agrees that he will not directly or indirectly provide Lens
     Products and Services (whether as an employee, consultant, advisor or
     otherwise) to any entity that at such time is, or at any time in the twelve
     (12) month period prior to such time had been, a customer of the Company
     unless (a) the Stockholder is employed by J&J or a subsidiary thereof and
     such solicitation is made on behalf of, or payment for the performance of
     such services is made to, such employer or (b) the Stockholder shall have
     previously obtained a written release specifically permitting an action
     that would otherwise be prohibited by the provisions of this Paragraph 2.
 
          3.  Nonsolicitation of Employees and Consultants.  During the
     Noncompetition Period, the Stockholder agrees that he will not directly or
     indirectly solicit, influence, entice or encourage any person who at such
     time is, or who at any time in the three (3) month period prior to such
     time had been, an employee of or consultant to the Company or J&J to cease
     or curtail his or her relationship therewith.
 
          4.  Nondisruption; Other Matters.  During the Noncompetition Period,
     the Stockholder agrees that he will not directly or indirectly interfere
     with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt any past, present or prospective
     relationship, contractual or otherwise, between the Company or J&J, on the
     one hand, and any of their respective customers, suppliers or employees, on
     the other hand.
 
          5.  Confidential Information.  The Stockholder covenants and agrees
     that, during the Noncompetition Period, he shall not use for his own behalf
     or divulge to any other person or entity any confidential information or
     trade secrets of or relating to the Company. The Stockholder further
     covenants and agrees that, during the Noncompetition Period, he shall not
     take or remove from the property of the Company any documentary copies,
     records or materials containing any such confidential information or trade
     secrets. As used herein, confidential information shall consist of all
     information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or J&J (including
     all information relating to inventions, production methods, customer and
     prospective customer lists, prices and trade practices) which is not in the
     public domain or otherwise published or publicly available.
 
          6.  Equitable Relief.  The Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that
     J&J's remedies at law for breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement
     would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, the Stockholder
     agrees that, in the event of such breach, in addition to any remedies at
     law it may have, J&J, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain
     equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary
     restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction or any other
     equitable remedy that may be available. The Stockholder further
     acknowledges that should the Stockholder violate any of the provisions of
     this Agreement, it will be difficult to determine the amount of damages
     resulting to J&J or its affiliates and that in addition to any other
     remedies it may have J&J shall be entitled to temporary and permanent
     injunctive relief.
 
          7.  Merger Agreement.  J&J represents that concurrently with the
     execution of this Agreement, J&J is executing the Merger Agreement, and
     subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement will cause the Offer to be
     commenced as provided in the Merger Agreement.

          8.  Acknowledgement.  Each of the Stockholder and J&J acknowledges and
     agrees that the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement have
     been negotiated in good faith by the parties, and are reasonable and are
     not more restrictive or broader than necessary to protect the interests of
     the parties hereto, and would not achieve their intended purpose if they
     were on different terms or for periods of time shorter than the periods of
     time provided herein or applied in more restrictive geographical areas than
     are provided herein. Each party further acknowledges that J&J would not
     enter into the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby
     (including, without limitation, the purchase of the Shares held by the
     Stockholder and payment in respect of the stock options granted to him by
     the Company) in the absence of the covenants and agreements contained in
     this Agreement and that such covenants and agreements are essential to
     protect the value of the Company.
 
          9.  Reasonableness of Provisions; Severability.  The Stockholder
     expressly understands and agrees that although both he and J&J consider the
     covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, including the
     restrictions contained in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, to be reasonable,
     if a final judicial determination is made by a court of competent
     jurisdiction that the time or territory restrictions contained herein, or
     any other provision or restriction contained herein, is an unenforceable
     provision or restriction against the Stockholder, the provisions and
     restrictions of this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be
     deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such
     maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be
     enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds
     that any provision or restriction contained in this Agreement is
     unenforceable, and such provision or restriction cannot be amended so as to
     make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of
     any of the remaining provisions and restrictions contained herein, which
     remaining provisions and restrictions shall be deemed severable from the
     unenforceable provision or restriction and shall remain in full force and
     effect.
 
          10.  Not an Employment Agreement.  This Agreement is not, and nothing
     in this Agreement shall be construed as, an agreement to provide employment
     to the Stockholder. The provisions of Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of this
     Agreement shall be operative regardless of the reasons for any termination
     of the Stockholder's employment and regardless of the performance or
     nonperformance by any party under any other section of this Agreement.
 
          11.  Governing Law.  This Agreement is made under and shall be
     governed by, construed in accordance with and enforced under the laws of
     the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws provisions of New
     York law.
 
          12.  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement together with the Merger
     Agreement and the Stockholder Agreement (as defined in the Merger
     Agreement) constitutes and contains the entire agreement and understanding
     concerning the subject matter addressed herein between the parties, and
     supersedes and replaces all prior negotiations and all agreements proposed
     or otherwise, whether written or oral, concerning the subject matter
     hereof, and the parties hereto have made no agreements, representations or
     warranties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement that are not
     set forth herein or in the Merger Agreement or the Stockholder Agreement.

                            NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT
 
     THIS NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered this
10th day of February 1997, by and between JOHNSON & JOHNSON, a New Jersey
corporation ("J&J"), and HORACE N. HUDSON, an individual (the "Stockholder").
 
                              W I T N E S S E T H
 
     WHEREAS, the Stockholder is a stockholder of Innotech, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and is also a key executive officer of the Company;
and
 
     WHEREAS, pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, an
Agreement and Plan of Merger with the Company (the "Merger Agreement"), J&J
through a subsidiary ("Sub") will make a tender offer (the "Offer") to purchase
all the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company (the
"Shares"), and the now existing stockholders of the Company will receive a cash
payment per share constituting a significant premium to the market price of the
stock of the Company; and
 
     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has adopted resolutions
approving the Offer and the subsequent merger of Sub into the Company (the
"Merger"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger
Agreement; and
 
     WHEREAS, following the Merger, J&J intends, or intends to cause Sub, to
continue to conduct and operate the business of the Company; and
 
     WHEREAS, as an inducement to J&J to enter into the Merger Agreement and to
acquire the Company stock owned by (and to pay the amount set forth in Section
7.04(a) of the Merger Agreement in respect of the Company stock options held by)
the Stockholder, the Stockholder is entering into this Agreement:
 
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements
hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
          1.  Noncompetition.  (a) The Stockholder agrees that for the period of
     the Stockholder's employment following the Closing with J&J, or any
     subsidiary thereof, and for two (2) years following the termination of such
     employment (regardless of the circumstances under which such employment is
     terminated) (such period, the "Noncompetition Period"), the Stockholder
     will not have any Relationship (as defined below) with any entity,
     including but not limited to any corporation, partnership, limited
     liability company, sole proprietorship or unincorporated business (whether
     or not for profit) (such entity, a "Business") in the course of which
     Relationship the Stockholder engages in or assists such Business with
     respect to the ophthalmic spectacle lens business (which business shall not
     include lens analyzing equipment) ("Lens Products and Services").
 
          (b) In the event that the Company terminates the Stockholder's
     employment without Cause (as defined below), the Company shall (x) continue
     to pay such Stockholder through the end of the Noncompetition Period
     (payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company)
     an annual amount equal to the salary that the Stockholder was receiving
     immediately prior to such termination and (y) continue to provide all
     benefits generally available under employee benefit plans or the practices
     and policies of the Company at the time of such termination (other than
     stock option or similar plans), determined in accordance with the
     provisions of such plans, practices and policies. "Cause" shall mean (i)
     Stockholder's conviction of, guilty plea to, or confession of guilt of, a
     felony, (ii) dishonest or illegal conduct or misconduct or malfeasance by
     the Stockholder in the performance of services for or on behalf of the
     Company, or other conduct detrimental to the business, operations or
     reputation of the Company, regardless of whether such conduct is within the
     scope of Stockholder's duty, (iii) failure by the Stockholder to perform
     his duties, as assigned to him by the President from time to time, provided
     that such duties are not inconsistent with the Stockholder's current
     duties, or
<PAGE>   2
 
     (iv) violation by the Stockholder of the covenants set forth in this
     Agreement; provided, however, that "Cause" shall, in no circumstances mean
     the failure by the Stockholder to relocate in the event the Company
     relocates its place of business and the Stockholder is unable to perform
     his duties without so relocating.
 
          (c) The Stockholder will be deemed to have a relationship (a
     "Relationship") with a Business if such Stockholder (i) owns, manages,
     operates, joins, or is employed by such Business, (ii) is a director,
     member, agent, shareholder, owner or general partner of such Business,
     (iii) acts as a consultant or advisor to such Business or (iv) controls or
     participates in the ownership, management or operation of, such Business;
     provided however, that nothing herein shall prevent the purchase or
     ownership by the Stockholder (and his "associates" as defined by the
     Securities and Exchange Commission's Proxy Rules) of an interest in a
     Business that constitutes less than 5% of the outstanding equity securities
     of such Business.
 
          2.  Nonsolicitation of Clients.  During the Noncompetition Period, the
     Stockholder agrees that he will not directly or indirectly provide Lens
     Products and Services (whether as an employee, consultant, advisor or
     otherwise) to any entity that at such time is, or at any time in the twelve
     (12) month period prior to such time had been, a customer of the Company
     unless (a) the Stockholder is employed by J&J or a subsidiary thereof and
     such solicitation is made on behalf of, or payment for the performance of
     such services is made to, such employer or (b) the Stockholder shall have
     previously obtained a written release specifically permitting an action
     that would otherwise be prohibited by the provisions of this Paragraph 2.
 
          3.  Nonsolicitation of Employees and Consultants.  During the
     Noncompetition Period, the Stockholder agrees that he will not directly or
     indirectly solicit, influence, entice or encourage any person who at such
     time is, or who at any time in the three (3) month period prior to such
     time had been, an employee of or consultant to the Company or J&J to cease
     or curtail his or her relationship therewith.
 
          4.  Nondisruption; Other Matters.  During the Noncompetition Period,
     the Stockholder agrees that he will not directly or indirectly interfere
     with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt any past, present or prospective
     relationship, contractual or otherwise, between the Company or J&J, on the
     one hand, and any of their respective customers, suppliers or employees, on
     the other hand.
 
          5.  Confidential Information.  The Stockholder covenants and agrees
     that, during the Noncompetition Period, he shall not use for his own behalf
     or divulge to any other person or entity any confidential information or
     trade secrets of or relating to the Company. The Stockholder further
     covenants and agrees that, during the Noncompetition Period, he shall not
     take or remove from the property of the Company any documentary copies,
     records or materials containing any such confidential information or trade
     secrets. As used herein, confidential information shall consist of all
     information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or J&J (including
     all information relating to inventions, production methods, customer and
     prospective customer lists, prices and trade practices) which is not in the
     public domain or otherwise published or publicly available.
 
          6.  Equitable Relief.  The Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that
     J&J's remedies at law for breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement
     would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, the Stockholder
     agrees that, in the event of such breach, in addition to any remedies at
     law it may have, J&J, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain
     equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary
     restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction or any other
     equitable remedy that may be available. The Stockholder further
     acknowledges that should the Stockholder violate any of the provisions of
     this Agreement, it will be difficult to determine the amount of damages
     resulting to J&J or its affiliates and that in addition to any other
     remedies it may have J&J shall be entitled to temporary and permanent
     injunctive relief.
 
          7.  Merger Agreement.  J&J represents that concurrently with the
     execution of this Agreement, J&J is executing the Merger Agreement, and
     subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement will cause the Offer to be
     commenced as provided in the Merger Agreement.
 
                                        2
<PAGE>   3
 
          8.  Acknowledgement.  Each of the Stockholder and J&J acknowledges and
     agrees that the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement have
     been negotiated in good faith by the parties, and are reasonable and are
     not more restrictive or broader than necessary to protect the interests of
     the parties hereto, and would not achieve their intended purpose if they
     were on different terms or for periods of time shorter than the periods of
     time provided herein or applied in more restrictive geographical areas than
     are provided herein. Each party further acknowledges that J&J would not
     enter into the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby
     (including, without limitation, the purchase of the Shares held by the
     Stockholder and payment in respect of the stock options granted to him by
     the Company) in the absence of the covenants and agreements contained in
     this Agreement and that such covenants and agreements are essential to
     protect the value of the Company.
 
          9.  Reasonableness of Provisions; Severability.  The Stockholder
     expressly understands and agrees that although both he and J&J consider the
     covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, including the
     restrictions contained in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, to be reasonable,
     if a final judicial determination is made by a court of competent
     jurisdiction that the time or territory restrictions contained herein, or
     any other provision or restriction contained herein, is an unenforceable
     provision or restriction against the Stockholder, the provisions and
     restrictions of this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be
     deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such
     maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be
     enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds
     that any provision or restriction contained in this Agreement is
     unenforceable, and such provision or restriction cannot be amended so as to
     make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of
     any of the remaining provisions and restrictions contained herein, which
     remaining provisions and restrictions shall be deemed severable from the
     unenforceable provision or restriction and shall remain in full force and
     effect.
 
          10.  Not an Employment Agreement.  This Agreement is not, and nothing
     in this Agreement shall be construed as, an agreement to provide employment
     to the Stockholder. The provisions of Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of this
     Agreement shall be operative regardless of the reasons for any termination
     of the Stockholder's employment and regardless of the performance or
     nonperformance by any party under any other section of this Agreement.
 
          11.  Governing Law.  This Agreement is made under and shall be
     governed by, construed in accordance with and enforced under the laws of
     the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws provisions of New
     York law.
 
          12.  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement together with the Merger
     Agreement and the Stockholder Agreement (as defined in the Merger
     Agreement) constitutes and contains the entire agreement and understanding
     concerning the subject matter addressed herein between the parties, and
     supersedes and replaces all prior negotiations and all agreements proposed
     or otherwise, whether written or oral, concerning the subject matter
     hereof, and the parties hereto have made no agreements, representations or
     warranties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement that are not
     set forth herein or in the Merger Agreement or the Stockholder Agreement.

     or divulge to any other person or entity any confidential information or
     trade secrets of or relating to the Company. The Stockholder further
     covenants and agrees that, during the Noncompetition Period, he shall not
     take or remove from the property of the Company any documentary copies,
     records or materials containing any such confidential information or trade
     secrets. As used herein, confidential information shall consist of all
     information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or J&J (including
     all information relating to inventions, production methods, customer and
     prospective customer lists, prices and trade practices) which is not in the
     public domain or otherwise published or publicly available.
 
          6.  Equitable Relief.  The Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that
     J&J's remedies at law for breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement
     would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, the Stockholder
     agrees that, in the event of such breach, in addition to any remedies at
     law it may have, J&J, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain
     equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary
     restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction or any other
     equitable remedy that may be available. The Stockholder further
     acknowledges that should the Stockholder violate any of the provisions of
     this Agreement, it will be difficult to determine the amount of damages
     resulting to J&J or its affiliates and that in addition to any other
     remedies it may have J&J shall be entitled to temporary and permanent
     injunctive relief.
 
          7.  Merger Agreement.  J&J represents that concurrently with the
     execution of this Agreement, J&J is executing the Merger Agreement, and
     subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement will cause the Offer to be
     commenced as provided in the Merger Agreement.

          8.  Acknowledgement.  Each of the Stockholder and J&J acknowledges and
     agrees that the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement have
     been negotiated in good faith by the parties, and are reasonable and are
     not more restrictive or broader than necessary to protect the interests of
     the parties hereto, and would not achieve their intended purpose if they
     were on different terms or for periods of time shorter than the periods of
     time provided herein or applied in more restrictive geographical areas than
     are provided herein. Each party further acknowledges that J&J would not
     enter into the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby
     (including, without limitation, the purchase of the Shares held by the
     Stockholder and payment in respect of the stock options granted to him by
     the Company) in the absence of the covenants and agreements contained in
     this Agreement and that such covenants and agreements are essential to
     protect the value of the Company.
 
          9.  Reasonableness of Provisions; Severability.  The Stockholder
     expressly understands and agrees that although both he and J&J consider the
     covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, including the
     restrictions contained in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, to be reasonable,
     if a final judicial determination is made by a court of competent
     jurisdiction that the time or territory restrictions contained herein, or
     any other provision or restriction contained herein, is an unenforceable
     provision or restriction against the Stockholder, the provisions and
     restrictions of this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be
     deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such
     maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be
     enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds
     that any provision or restriction contained in this Agreement is
     unenforceable, and such provision or restriction cannot be amended so as to
     make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of
     any of the remaining provisions and restrictions contained herein, which
     remaining provisions and restrictions shall be deemed severable from the
     unenforceable provision or restriction and shall remain in full force and
     effect.
 
          10.  Not an Employment Agreement.  This Agreement is not, and nothing
     in this Agreement shall be construed as, an agreement to provide employment
     to the Stockholder. The provisions of Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of this
     Agreement shall be operative regardless of the reasons for any termination
     of the Stockholder's employment and regardless of the performance or
     nonperformance by any party under any other section of this Agreement.
 
          11.  Governing Law.  This Agreement is made under and shall be
     governed by, construed in accordance with and enforced under the laws of
     the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws provisions of New
     York law.
 
          12.  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement together with the Merger
     Agreement and the Stockholder Agreement (as defined in the Merger
     Agreement) constitutes and contains the entire agreement and understanding
     concerning the subject matter addressed herein between the parties, and
     supersedes and replaces all prior negotiations and all agreements proposed
     or otherwise, whether written or oral, concerning the subject matter
     hereof, and the parties hereto have made no agreements, representations or
     warranties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement that are not
     set forth herein or in the Merger Agreement or the Stockholder Agreement.

                            NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT
 
     THIS NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered this
10th day of February 1997, by and between JOHNSON & JOHNSON, a New Jersey
corporation ("J&J"), and SUNDER H. MALKANI, an individual (the "Stockholder").
 
                              W I T N E S S E T H
 
     WHEREAS, the Stockholder is a stockholder of Innotech, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and is also a key executive officer of the Company;
and
 
     WHEREAS, pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, an
Agreement and Plan of Merger with the Company (the "Merger Agreement"), J&J
through a subsidiary ("Sub") will make a tender offer (the "Offer") to purchase
all the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company (the
"Shares"), and the now existing stockholders of the Company will receive a cash
payment per share constituting a significant premium to the market price of the
stock of the Company; and
 
     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has adopted resolutions
approving the Offer and the subsequent merger of Sub into the Company (the
"Merger"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger
Agreement; and
 
     WHEREAS, following the Merger, J&J intends, or intends to cause Sub, to
continue to conduct and operate the business of the Company; and
 
     WHEREAS, as an inducement to J&J to enter into the Merger Agreement and to
acquire the Company stock owned by (and to pay the amount set forth in Section
7.04(a) of the Merger Agreement in respect of the Company stock options held by)
the Stockholder, the Stockholder is entering into this Agreement:
 
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements
hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
          1.  Noncompetition.  (a) The Stockholder agrees that for the period of
     the Stockholder's employment following the Closing with J&J, or any
     subsidiary thereof, and for two (2) years following the termination of such
     employment (regardless of the circumstances under which such employment is
     terminated) (such period, the "Noncompetition Period"), the Stockholder
     will not have any Relationship (as defined below) with any entity,
     including but not limited to any corporation, partnership, limited
     liability company, sole proprietorship or unincorporated business (whether
     or not for profit) (such entity, a "Business") in the course of which
     Relationship the Stockholder engages in or assists such Business with
     respect to the ophthalmic spectacle lens business (which business shall not
     include lens analyzing equipment) ("Lens Products and Services").
 
          (b) In the event that the Company terminates the Stockholder's
     employment without Cause (as defined below), the Company shall (x) continue
     to pay such Stockholder through the end of the Noncompetition Period
     (payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company)
     an annual amount equal to the salary that the Stockholder was receiving
     immediately prior to such termination and (y) continue to provide all
     benefits generally available under employee benefit plans or the practices
     and policies of the Company at the time of such termination (other than
     stock option or similar plans), determined in accordance with the
     provisions of such plans, practices and policies. "Cause" shall mean (i)
     Stockholder's conviction of, guilty plea to, or confession of guilt of, a
     felony, (ii) dishonest or illegal conduct or misconduct or malfeasance by
     the Stockholder in the performance of services for or on behalf of the
     Company, or other conduct detrimental to the business, operations or
     reputation of the Company, regardless of whether such conduct is within the
     scope of Stockholder's duty, (iii) failure by the Stockholder to perform
     his duties, as assigned to him by the President from time to time, provided
     that such duties are not inconsistent with the Stockholder's current
     duties, or
<PAGE>   2
 
     (iv) violation by the Stockholder of the covenants set forth in this
     Agreement; provided, however, that "Cause" shall, in no circumstances mean
     the failure by the Stockholder to relocate in the event the Company
     relocates its place of business and the Stockholder is unable to perform
     his duties without so relocating.
 
          (c) The Stockholder will be deemed to have a relationship (a
     "Relationship") with a Business if such Stockholder (i) owns, manages,
     operates, joins, or is employed by such Business, (ii) is a director,
     member, agent, shareholder, owner or general partner of such Business,
     (iii) acts as a consultant or advisor to such Business or (iv) controls or
     participates in the ownership, management or operation of, such Business;
     provided however, that nothing herein shall prevent the purchase or
     ownership by the Stockholder (and his "associates" as defined by the
     Securities and Exchange Commission's Proxy Rules) of an interest in a
     Business that constitutes less than 5% of the outstanding equity securities
     of such Business.
 
          2.  Nonsolicitation of Clients.  During the Noncompetition Period, the
     Stockholder agrees that he will not directly or indirectly provide Lens
     Products and Services (whether as an employee, consultant, advisor or
     otherwise) to any entity that at such time is, or at any time in the twelve
     (12) month period prior to such time had been, a customer of the Company
     unless (a) the Stockholder is employed by J&J or a subsidiary thereof and
     such solicitation is made on behalf of, or payment for the performance of
     such services is made to, such employer or (b) the Stockholder shall have
     previously obtained a written release specifically permitting an action
     that would otherwise be prohibited by the provisions of this Paragraph 2.
 
          3.  Nonsolicitation of Employees and Consultants.  During the
     Noncompetition Period, the Stockholder agrees that he will not directly or
     indirectly solicit, influence, entice or encourage any person who at such
     time is, or who at any time in the three (3) month period prior to such
     time had been, an employee of or consultant to the Company or J&J to cease
     or curtail his or her relationship therewith.
 
          4.  Nondisruption; Other Matters.  During the Noncompetition Period,
     the Stockholder agrees that he will not directly or indirectly interfere
     with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt any past, present or prospective
     relationship, contractual or otherwise, between the Company or J&J, on the
     one hand, and any of their respective customers, suppliers or employees, on
     the other hand.
 
          5.  Confidential Information.  The Stockholder covenants and agrees
     that, during the Noncompetition Period, he shall not use for his own behalf
     or divulge to any other person or entity any confidential information or
     trade secrets of or relating to the Company. The Stockholder further
     covenants and agrees that, during the Noncompetition Period, he shall not
     take or remove from the property of the Company any documentary copies,
     records or materials containing any such confidential information or trade
     secrets. As used herein, confidential information shall consist of all
     information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or J&J (including
     all information relating to inventions, production methods, customer and
     prospective customer lists, prices and trade practices) which is not in the
     public domain or otherwise published or publicly available.
 
          6.  Equitable Relief.  The Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that
     J&J's remedies at law for breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement
     would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, the Stockholder
     agrees that, in the event of such breach, in addition to any remedies at
     law it may have, J&J, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain
     equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary
     restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction or any other
     equitable remedy that may be available. The Stockholder further
     acknowledges that should the Stockholder violate any of the provisions of
     this Agreement, it will be difficult to determine the amount of damages
     resulting to J&J or its affiliates and that in addition to any other
     remedies it may have J&J shall be entitled to temporary and permanent
     injunctive relief.
 
          7.  Merger Agreement.  J&J represents that concurrently with the
     execution of this Agreement, J&J is executing the Merger Agreement, and
     subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement will cause the Offer to be
     commenced as provided in the Merger Agreement.

          8.  Acknowledgement.  Each of the Stockholder and J&J acknowledges and
     agrees that the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement have
     been negotiated in good faith by the parties, and are reasonable and are
     not more restrictive or broader than necessary to protect the interests of
     the parties hereto, and would not achieve their intended purpose if they
     were on different terms or for periods of time shorter than the periods of
     time provided herein or applied in more restrictive geographical areas than
     are provided herein. Each party further acknowledges that J&J would not
     enter into the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby
     (including, without limitation, the purchase of the Shares held by the
     Stockholder and payment in respect of the stock options granted to him by
     the Company) in the absence of the covenants and agreements contained in
     this Agreement and that such covenants and agreements are essential to
     protect the value of the Company.
 
          9.  Reasonableness of Provisions; Severability.  The Stockholder
     expressly understands and agrees that although both he and J&J consider the
     covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, including the
     restrictions contained in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, to be reasonable,
     if a final judicial determination is made by a court of competent
     jurisdiction that the time or territory restrictions contained herein, or
     any other provision or restriction contained herein, is an unenforceable
     provision or restriction against the Stockholder, the provisions and
     restrictions of this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be
     deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such
     maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be
     enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds
     that any provision or restriction contained in this Agreement is
     unenforceable, and such provision or restriction cannot be amended so as to
     make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of
     any of the remaining provisions and restrictions contained herein, which
     remaining provisions and restrictions shall be deemed severable from the
     unenforceable provision or restriction and shall remain in full force and
     effect.
 
          10.  Not an Employment Agreement.  This Agreement is not, and nothing
     in this Agreement shall be construed as, an agreement to provide employment
     to the Stockholder. The provisions of Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of this
     Agreement shall be operative regardless of the reasons for any termination
     of the Stockholder's employment and regardless of the performance or
     nonperformance by any party under any other section of this Agreement.
 
          11.  Governing Law.  This Agreement is made under and shall be
     governed by, construed in accordance with and enforced under the laws of
     the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws provisions of New
     York law.
 
          12.  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement together with the Merger
     Agreement and the Stockholder Agreement (as defined in the Merger
     Agreement) constitutes and contains the entire agreement and understanding
     concerning the subject matter addressed herein between the parties, and
     supersedes and replaces all prior negotiations and all agreements proposed
     or otherwise, whether written or oral, concerning the subject matter
     hereof, and the parties hereto have made no agreements, representations or
     warranties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement that are not
     set forth herein or in the Merger Agreement or the Stockholder Agreement.
