Effective January 1, 1996, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement

10,000 unregistered shares of NMR common stock with a $3.50 per share price
guaranteed by NMR and subject to a two-year holding period restriction. In

liabilities of Central Diversey aggregating $90,000 and MRI related equipment
debt, subject to existing collateral and security, totaling approximately
