ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On September 3, 1996, Intercell Corporation ("Registrant") by virtue of a Merger
of  Particle  Interconnect,   Inc.,  a  California  corporation,  into  Particle
Interconnect Corporation, a Colorado corporation,  (the "Subsidiary"),  a wholly
owned Subsidiary of the Registrant,  acquired  substantially all the properties,
assets and business operations of Particle Interconnect, Inc.

In connection with such Merger,  Registrant  made a capital  contribution of One
Million,  Five  Hundred  Thousand  Dollars  ($1,500,000.00)  to its wholly owned
Subsidiary,  to provide  operating  capital for the  business  activates  of the
Subsidiary.  In  addition,  the  Registrant  issued One  Million,  Four  Hundred
Thousand (1,400,000) of its common,  restricted,  no par value shares, valued at
$4.00 per share, to the shareholders of Particle  Interconnect,  Inc. The Merger
and corporate reorganization was effected under Section 368(a)(1)(A) and Section
368(a)(1)(22D) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

As part of the corporate  reorganization,  the Registrant also agreed to provide
additional funds, as required, to liquidate certain outstanding  obligations and
liabilities,  to provide  working  capital  and  capital  for  future  corporate
expansion.

Larry DiFrancesco,  a shareholder of Particle Interconnect,  Inc., was appointed
to the Board of Directors of the Registrant, effective immediately.

Gordon  J.  Sales,  President,   Chief  Executive  Officer  and  a  Director  of
Registrant; and Alan M. Smith, Secretary, Treasurer, Chief Financial Officer and
a  Director  of  Registrant  were  appointed  to the Board of  Directors  of the
Subsidiary and were likewise appointed as President and Chief Executive Officer;
and Secretary-Treasurer, respectively of the Subsidiary.

Registrant also agreed to issue Options to certain officers, directors and other
employees of the  Subsidiary,  excluding  Gordon J. Sales and Alan M. Smith,  to
acquire up to Two Hundred and Eighty  Thousand  (280,000)  common  shares of the
Registrant under a proposed new Compensatory Stock Option Plan to be created and
registered on Form S-8,  under the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended,  at an
appropriate time.

As a result of the Merger,  Louis  DiFrancesco  and  Lawrence  DiFrancesco,  the
principal former owners of Particle  Interconnect,  Inc., each became the direct
and beneficial owners of Six Hundred Thousand shares, of the common stock of the
Registrant.

The  consideration  conveyed,  in connection with the Merger,  was determined by
arms length negotiations between  independent,  unaffiliated parties represented
by counsel of their choice.

The Registrant by virtue of this Merger, acquired full right, title and interest
in, of and to six (6)  patents  and seven (7) patent  applications  and  certain
other proprietary  intellectual property and technologies relating to a particle
enhanced process of electrical interconnection of metallic conductive materials.

         WHEREAS,  the specific  business purpose of PII, Particle and Intercell
for entering into this Agreement is to consolidate the respective  assets of PII

capitalization and which is more competitive; and

         WHEREAS,   PII,   Particle  and   Intercell   desire  to  make  certain
representations,  warranties,  covenants and  agreements in connection  with the
Merger, and also desire to prescribe various conditions to the Merger; and

         WHEREAS,  the Boards of Directors of PII,  Particle and Intercell  have
each  approved  and adopted  this  Agreement  as a plan of Merger  between  PII,
Particle  and  Intercell  within  the  meaning  of  Sections   368(a)(1)(A)  and

agree as follows:

                                    ARTICLE I

Corporation  as they  were of both  Particle  and PII;  and the  title to or any
interest  in any real  estate  or oil,  gas or  mineral  lease  vested  by deed,
assignment  or otherwise in both  Particle and PII shall not revert or be in any
way  impaired by reason of the  Merger;  provided,  however,  that all rights of
creditors  and  liens  upon any  property  of  either  Particle  or PII shall be
preserved unimpaired,  limited in lien to the property affected by such liens at
the Effective Time of the Merger; and all debts,  liabilities and duties of both
Particle  and PII,  respectively,  shall  thenceforth  attach  to the  Surviving
corporation and may be enforced  against it to the same extent as if said debts,
liabilities  and  duties  had  been  incurred  or  contracted  by the  Surviving
Corporation.

     1.08 ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS. If at any time the Surviving Corporation shall
deem or be  advised  that any  further  grants,  assignments,  confirmations  or
assurances are necessary or desirable to vest or to perfect or confirm of record
or otherwise in the Surviving  Corporation the title to any property of PII, the
officers or any of them and  directors of PII shall  execute and deliver any and
all such deeds,  assignments,  confirmations  and  assurances  and do all things
necessary  or proper  so as to best  prove,  confirm  and  ratify  title to such
property in the Surviving  Corporation or to otherwise carry out the purposes of
the Merger and the terms of this  Agreement or both.  The Surviving  Corporation
shall  have the  same  power  and  authority  to act in  respect  to any  debts,
liabilities  and  duties  of PII as PII  would  have had,  had it  continued  in
existence.

     1.09  CONVERSION AND EXCHANGE OF SHARES.

           (a). The manner and basis of converting  or exchanging  the shares of
each of Particle and PII shall be as follows:

                           (1). Each share (and  fraction  thereof) of the $0.01
                  par  value  common  stock of PII  which  shall be  outstanding
                  immediately  prior to the Effective Time of the Merger (except
                  any such shares  which  shall then be held in the  treasury of
                  PII) shall be changed, by virtue of the Merger and without any
                  action on the part of the holder  thereof,  into: One Thousand
                  (1,000) shares of Intercell so that upon the Effective Time of
                  the Merger  Intercell  shall issue One  Million,  Four Hundred
                  Thousand  (1,400,000) shares in exchange for all capital stock
                  of PII.

                           (2). At the Effective Time of the Merger, all capital
                  stock of PII owned by PII as treasury shares, if any, shall be
                  canceled and such shares shall not be converted into shares of
                  the Common Stock of Intercell.  At the  Effective  Time of the
                  Merger,  all capital stock of PII issued and outstanding shall
                  be  canceled  and  automatically  subject to  conversion  into
                  Intercell   Common   Stock  as   described   in   subparagraph
                  1.09(a)(1).

                           (3) No  fractional  shares of Intercell  Common Stock
                  shall be issued in connection with the Merger.  Instead,  each
                  holder  of  record  shares of  Intercell  Common  Stock at the
                  Effective Date entitled to a fractional  interest arising from
                  the conversion of such shares shall receive a cash payment for
                  such  fractional  share.  The cash payment for such fractional
                  share  shall be based upon the book value of such  shares.  No
                  such holder  shall be entitled to dividends or other rights in
                  respect of any such fractional interest.


                                       4
<PAGE>


           (b). If not previously surrendered to Intercell,  at the Closing, not
later than twenty (20) days after the Effective Time of the Merger,  each holder
of an outstanding  certificate or certificates  which prior thereto  represented
shares of PII Common Stock shall surrender the same to Corporate Stock Transfer,
Inc.  ("Exchange  Agent"),  and each such  holder  shall be  entitled  upon such
surrender  to  receive in  exchange  therefor,  a  certificate  or  certificates
representing  the  number of shares of  Intercell  Common  Stock  into which the
certificate  or  certificates  so  surrendered  shall  have  been  converted  as
aforesaid.  After the Effective Time of the Merger and until surrendered to, and
canceled by the Exchange Agent, each certificate  which,  prior to the Effective
Time of the Merger,  represented outstanding shares of PII Common Stock shall be
deemed for all corporate  purposes to evidence the number of shares of Intercell
Common  Stock into which the same shall be been  converted.  Dividends on common
stock of Intercell (if any are declared) payable after the Effective Time of the
Merger with respect to such shares shall not be paid with respect there to until
the related PII certificates shall be been surrendered,  whereupon they shall be
paid  without  interest  to the  person in whose  name  Intercell  Common  Stock
certificates are issued.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  any shareholder of PII
who  lawfully  elects  to  exercise  his  right to  dissent  form the  Merger in
accordance  with the  California  Corporation  Code  will not be  deemed to have
converted his or her shares of PII Common Stock into shares of Intercell  Common
Stock until such time as that  shareholder is no longer  entitled to payment for
his  shares.  At that  time  shares of PII  Common  Stock  held by a  dissenting
shareholder,  but with  respect to which such  shareholder  did not exercise his
right to dissent  from the  Merger,  shall be deemed  converted  into  shares of
Intercell Common Stock as aforesaid as of the Effective Time.

           (c).  For purposes of  paragraphs  1.09(a) and (b) of this Article I,
shares of PII Common Stock  outstanding  immediately prior to the Effective Time
of the Merger  shall not include any shares of PII Common  Stock with respect to
which the  holders  thereof  ("Dissenting  PII  Stockholders")  shall have filed
written  objections  to the  Merger in the  manner  provided  in the  California
Corporation Code, provided,  that if any such person shall subsequently lose his
or her  dissenter's  rights,  the shares of PII Common Stock held by such person
shall be deemed  changed  into  shares of  Intercell  Common  Stock as  provided
herein,  as of the Effective  Time of the Merger,  and shall be exchanged in the
manner and entitled to the rights provided herein.  PII shall give Intercell (i)
prompt  notice of any written  objections or demands for payment of the value of
their shares of PII Common Stock received from the  Dissenting PII  Stockholders
and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with
respect to any such demands. PII shall not, without the prior written consent of
Intercell  voluntarily  make any payment  with respect to, or settle or offer to
settle, any such demands.

           (d). If any certificate for shares of Intercell Common Stock is to be
issued  in a name  other  than  that in which  the  certificate  surrendered  in
exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof
that the certificate so surrendered  shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in
proper form for transfer with  signatures  thereon duly  guaranteed by a bank or
trust  company  and that the  person  requesting  such  exchange  (i) pay to the
Exchange  Agent any transfer  expenses or other taxes  required by reason of the
issuance of a certificate for share of Intercell  Common Stock in any name other
than  that of the  registered  holder  of the  certificate  surrendered  or (ii)
establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such transfer  expenses
or other taxes required by the issuance of a certificate for shares of Intercell
Common Stock in the same name of the registered  holder of the  certificate  for
PII Common Stock surrendered shall be paid by Intercell Corporation.


                                       5

           (e) If Intercell has not  previously  delivered the Intercell  Common
Stock deliverable  hereunder,  at the Closing,  to the holders of the PII Common
Stock, as requested by such holders,  then Intercell shall issue and deliver, or
cause  to be  issued  and  delivered  to  the  Exchange  Agent  one  certificate
representing  the aggregate  number of shares of Intercell Common Stock to which
all holders of PII Common Stock shall be entitled pursuant to this Agreement and
Plan of Merger,  but in no event  exceeding One Million,  Four Hundred  Thousand
(1,400,000)  shares of Intercell  Common Stock.  The certificate so delivered by
Intercell shall  thereafter be divided into  certificates of such  denominations
and registered in such names as requested by the  shareholders of PII, but under
no circumstance shall Intercell be required to issue certificates for fractional
shares.

           (f) If after the date hereof and prior to the  Effective  Time of the
Merger,  (i) there shall be any  recapitalization,  split-up or consolidation of
shares of Intercell  Common  Stock or PII Common  Stock or (ii) the  outstanding
shares of  Intercell  or PII common  Stock are, in  connection  with a Merger or
consolidation  of Intercell or PII exchanged for a different  number or class of
shares of stock of  Intercell  or PII or for the shares of the capital  stock of
any other  corporation or (iii) the record date for  determination of holders of
Intercell  or PII Common  Stock  entitled to receive a dividend  payable in such
stock shall occur,  then there shall be made an  appropriate  adjustment  in the
number and class of the shares to be issued and delivered upon the Merger.



                                   ARTICLE II

                                    EXPENSES

     2.01 EXPENSES. In the event that this Agreement  shall be  terminated,  all
further  obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate without
further  liability of either party and each party shall be responsible,  without
reimbursement  from the other, for all its costs and expenses  incurred incident
to  negotiations  and  preparation  of this  Agreement and to performance of and
compliance with all agreements and conditions  contained herein on their part to
be performed or complied with, including the fees, expenses and disbursements of
counsel.  In the event that the Merger  shall be  consummated  each party hereto
will pay all of its costs and expenses in connection therewith.  Notwithstanding
anything hereinabove contained,  whether or not the Merger shall be consummated,
PII and  Particle  shall  divide any  printing  and  mailing  costs  incurred in
