         Dexter Acquisition Delaware, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Purchaser")
and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dexter Corporation, a Connecticut corporation
("Parent") and Parent hereby amend and supplement their Tender Offer Statement
on Schedule 14D-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") on November 2, 1998, as amended by Amendments No. 1 and No. 2
thereto filed with the Commission on November 5, 1998 and November 12, 1998,
respectively (as so amended, the "Schedule 14D-1"). Capitalized terms not
defined herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Schedule 14D-1.

ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

(a)   Item 10(f) is hereby amended by the addition of the following paragraph as
the new fourth paragraph under "SPECIAL FACTORS--Background of the Offer" in the
Offer to Purchase:

                  The presentation of Merrill Lynch at such meetings (the "June
         Presentation") was based solely on publicly-available information and
         estimates of future financial results published by First Call
         Corporation and selected brokerage firms and was used to assist Parent
         in determining the appropriate price for the Proposal. Such
         presentation analyzed the pro forma effect on Parent of a transaction
         involving a hypothetical offer price of $38.00 per share and a
         sensitivity analysis of plus or minus $1.00 per share (the
         "Hypothetical Range"). The presentation also included analyses similar
         to those analyses described below under "--Analysis of Financial
         Advisor to Parent-Analyses of Selected Comparable Publicly Traded
         Companies" and "-Analysis of Change of Control Acquisitions". For
         purposes of comparing implied multiples, Merrill Lynch used the
         mid-point of the Hypothetical Range, which represented a premium of
         19.2% over the Company's closing price on NASDAQ (as defined below) of
         $31.88 per share on June 22, 1998. The full text of the June
         Presentation has been included as Exhibit (g)(6) to the Schedule 13E-3
         and the Schedule 14D-1 and the foregoing summary is qualified in its
         entirety by reference to such Exhibit. See the last five paragraphs
         under "--Analysis of Financial Advisor to Parent" for qualifying
         statements as to the October 23, 1998 presentation of Merrill Lynch
         which qualifying statements apply to its June Presentation as well,
         including as to any projections included therein.

(b)   Item 10(f) is hereby amended by amending and restating in its entirety the
fifth paragraph under "SPECIAL FACTORS--Background of the Offer" in the Offer to
Purchase:

                  On July 6, 1998, in a special meeting of the Parent Board, the
         Parent Board authorized Mr. Walker to make a proposal on behalf of
         Parent to acquire all of the shares of the Company not currently owned
         by Parent for $37.00 in cash. Such price represented a premium of 20.1%
         over the Company's closing price on NASDAQ of $30.81 per share on July
         2, 1998.

(c)   Item 10(f) is hereby amended by amending and restating in its entirety the
twenty-sixth paragraph under "SPECIAL FACTORS-Background of the Offer" in the
Offer to Purchase:

                  On October 14, 1998, the Parent Board held a special
         telephonic meeting to receive reports on the Proposal from Parent's
         management and its financial advisor on the Special Committee's
         response to the Proposal and related matters. The presentation of
         Merrill Lynch set forth in its October 14, 1998 presentation contained
         analyses similar to those set forth in its October 23, 1998
         presentation and described under "--Analyses of Financial Advisor to
         Parent". Such presentation also analyzed the pro forma impact of the
         transaction on Parent. All such analyses used the Offer Price. The full
         text of Merrill Lynch's written presentation delivered to the Parent
         Board on October 14, 1998 has been included as Exhibit (g)(7) to the
         Schedule 13E-3 and the Schedule 14D-1 and the foregoing summary is
         qualified in its entirety by reference to such Exhibit. See the last
         five paragraphs under "--Analysis of Financial Advisor to Parent" for
         qualifying statements as to the October 23, 1998 presentation of
         Merrill Lynch which qualifying statements apply to its October 14, 1998
         presentation as well, including as to any projections included therein.

(d)   Item 10(f) is hereby amended by amending and restating in its entirety the
second sentence in the twenty-ninth paragraph under "SPECIAL FACTORS--Background
of the Offer" in the Offer to Purchase as follows:

                  See "CERTAIN FACTORS--Fairness of the Offer" and "--Analysis
         of Financial Advisor to Parent".

(e) Item 10(f) is hereby amended by amending and restating in their entirety the
third and fourth full paragraphs under "THE TENDER OFFER--Certain Information

         any affiliate of Parent) giving rise to any such condition, makes it
         inadvisable to proceed with the Offer and/or with such acceptance for
         payment or payment.

              The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of Parent and
         Purchaser and may be asserted by Parent or Purchaser regardless of the
         circumstances giving rise to any such condition and may be waived by
         Parent or Purchaser, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to
         time, in its discretion. The failure by Parent or Purchaser at any time
         to exercise any of the foregoing rights will not be deemed a waiver of
         any such right, and the waiver of such right with respect to any
         particular facts or circumstances shall not be deemed a waiver with
         respect to any other facts or circumstances, and each such right will
         be deemed an ongoing right which may be asserted at any time and from
         time to time. Any determination by Parent or Purchaser concerning the
         events described above will be final and binding upon all parties.

              Should the Offer be terminated pursuant to the foregoing
         provisions, all tendered Shares not theretofore accepted for payment
         shall forthwith be returned by the Depositary to the tendering
         stockholders.

PROJECT TERRAPIN


Transaction Rationale

- -        Terrapin continues to represent a unique acquisition opportunity for
         Husky

         -        Intimate knowledge of businesses and prospects reduces risk

         -        Terrapin has been an attractive investment

         -        Good working relationship with management

- -        Terrapin possesses many attributes of a successful acquisition
         candidate

         -        Strong market shares in core products

         -        Solid historical track record of delivering plan results

         -        Good management team

- -        In addition, Husky continues to believe in Terrapin's long term plan

         -        9.5% revenue growth fueled by strong pipeline

         -        15.0% profit growth

- -        Additionally, a Terrapin acquisition has strong strategic rationale

         -        Provides catalyst to "transform" Husky into a higher growth,
                  specialty business

         -        Allows Husky to focus on three, wholly-owned core businesses

         -        Combined with the sale of packaging coatings, sends a clear
                  signal of Husky's focus in growth businesses

- -        As a result, Husky management continues to support the transaction at
         $37.00 per Terrapin share

Valuation Methodology Used By Financial Advisor To Special Committee

- -     Goldman Sachs presented preliminary "negotiating" views on value to
      Merrill Lynch

- -     The presentation was not characterized as a full range of valuation
      methodologies or as reflecting the complete analysis shared with the
      Special Committee

- -     Goldman Sachs valued two discreet sets of cash flows

       -     Base strategic plan

       -     "Incremental" pipeline

Valuation of Base Business by the Financial Advisor to Special Committee



- -    The Goldman Sachs valuation was based only on discounted cash flows and was
     not portrayed as complete or as reflecting the complete analysis shared
     with the Special Committee

- -    Husky believes the valuation is very aggressive

     -    Aggressive projections of base business due to separate valuation of
          pipeline and no consideration of current macroeconomics events

     -    Aggressive exit multiples

     -    Husky believes that the proper methodology for terminal values is to
          utilize perpetuity growth rates

                             BASE BUSINESS VALUATION

 Forecast: 

     -    Essentially Terrapin's 1998-2000 strategic plan extrapolated to 2002
          (9.5% revenue growth, constant gross margins); strategic plan based on
          detailed 1998 profit plan and extrapolated for 1999 and 2000 based on
          historical growth rates
                                                                
                                                              
 Exit Multiples:

     -    14x to 16x EBIT
   
          Based on "comparable" companies trading multiples some of which
          possess significantly higher growth prospects and margins 

Perpetuity Growth:

     -    Implied perpetuity growth rate of 6% to 7% at an
          11% discount rate

Discount Rate:

     -    10% to 12%
          Based on inherent stability of base business

 Forecast: 

     -    Terrapin's 1998-2000 strategic plan sensitized for the following
          reasons:

     -    Revenue Growth Reductions

          -    carve-out of key pipeline revenues

          -    continued pricing pressure

          -    focus redirected away from core business

          -    global market growth reduction (short term)

 Exit Multiples:

     -    Implies 9x to 13x EBIT
          Consistent with similar "lab product" companies trading multiples
                                                      

Perpetuity Growth:

     -    Perpetuity growth rate of 4% to 6%

Discount Rate:

     -    10% to 12%
          Based on WACC of comparable companies and characteristics of the
          business
