               Buyer has acquired the Shares for investment.  Buyer intends

through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender

privately negotiated transactions, through a public offering or otherwise.
Except as set forth below, Buyer has no plan or proposals which relate to
or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a)
through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

               Buyer has certain rights under the Stock Purchase Agreement.

               Board Representation.  Pursuant to the Stock Purchase

of Directors at the first meeting after February 16, 1993.  Prior to such

Directors.

               (e)  Inapplicable.

Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or

               In addition to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Buyer and the
Company have entered into a Technical Cooperation Agreement dated as of
December 10, 1992 (the "Technical Cooperation Agreement").  Buyer, the Company
and certain other shareholders of the Company have also entered into a
Registration Rights Agreement dated as of January 7, 1993 (the "Registration
Rights Agreement").  Copies of the form of the Registration Rights
Agreement and the Technical Cooperation Agreement are attached hereto as
Exhibits C and F, respectively, of Exhibit 1 hereto and incorporated herein
by reference.

               The Stock Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement
and the Technical Cooperation Agreement contain provisions relating to the
transfer and voting of the Shares.  These provisions are summarized below, but
are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Stock Purchase Agreement,
the Registration Rights Agreement and the Technical Cooperation Agreement.

               Voting Agreement.  Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement,
Buyer agrees to be present in person or by proxy at all meetings of the
shareholders of the Company and to vote its shares in favor of management's
nominees to the Board of Directors, provided that Buyer is not restricted from
selecting and exercising its right to elect to the Company's Board of
Directors such number of directors (including its designee) as Buyer would be
able to elect under cumulative voting.

               Company's Right of First Refusal.  Subject to certain
exceptions, so long as Buyer owns over 5% of the outstanding shares of the
Company's stock, the Company has the right of first refusal, subject to
certain exceptions, to purchase shares of stock which Buyer elects to sell or
otherwise transfer, if following such sale or transfer, the transferee would
own over 5% of the Company's stock.

               Buyer's Right of First Refusal.  In addition, until December
10, 1999, Buyer has a right of first refusal, subject to certain exceptions,
to purchase additional shares of capital stock or securities convertible into
capital stock to maintain its percentage ownership in the Company.

               Buyer's Limitation on Ownership.  Buyer has also agreed that
until December 10, 1999, it will not acquire over 20% of the aggregate
outstanding stock of the Company without the written consent of the Company.

               Market Stand-Off.  Buyer has further agreed that it will not
sell or otherwise dispose of (other than to an affiliate of Buyer who agrees
to be similarly bound) any Shares until August 7, 1993.

               Board Representation.  Pursuant to the Stock Purchase
Agreement, until the earlier of (i) December 10, 1999 or (ii) such time as
Buyer ceases to own 80% of the Shares or the Technical Cooperation Agreement
is no longer in effect, the Company is required to include one nominee chosen
by Buyer in its slate of nominees recommended by the Board of Directors for
election as directors of the Company and to use its best efforts to cause the
Company's directors and management to vote shares as to which any of them hold
proxies or are otherwise entitled to vote in favor of the election of Buyer's
designee.

               Registration Rights.  Subject to the terms of the Stock
Purchase Agreement, Buyer is entitled to certain rights with respect to the
registration of its Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
for the purposes of making secondary sales of the Shares.  Pursuant to the
terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, holders of at least 50% of the
registrable shares of the Company (including Buyer's Shares) may request,
subject to certain limitations, that the Company use its best efforts to
register the securities for public resale.  The holders may request such
registration on not more that five occasions and the Company may, upon
giving public notice to the holders, defer such registration for up to six
months after the effective date of any public offering, In addition, under
the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, if the Company proposes to
register any of its securities under the Securities Act, either for its own
account or the account of other security holders exercising registration
rights, the holders are entitled to notice of such registration and are
entitled to include shares of common stock therein; provided, among other
conditions, that the underwriters of any offering have the right to limit
the number of shares included in such registration.  In addition, the
stockholders holding these rights, including Buyer, may require the Company
to file registration statements on Form S-3 under the Securities Act with
respect to such shares so long as the anticipated aggregate price to the
public of any such registration statement would exceed $500,000.  The
Company is required to use its best efforts to effect such registration,
subject to certain conditions and limitations, including, but not limited
to, applicable securities laws.

               Technical Cooperation Agreement.  Concurrently with the Stock
Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into the Technical Cooperation
Agreement with Buyer, pursuant to which the Company will provide certain
advice with regard to research activities and projects of Buyer and has agreed
to have up to two individuals from Buyer serve at the Company in various
research capacities.  The parties will meet regularly to review research
strategies and directions and to investigate potential future collaborative
research and development projects.  The Technical Cooperation Agreement has a
term of 10 years; however, the Company may terminate it sooner if Buyer
ceases to own at least 80% of the Shares.

               Except for the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Registration
Rights Agreement and the Technical Cooperation Agreement described above, to
the best knowledge of Buyer, there are no contracts, arrangements,
understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between the persons
enumerated in Item 2, and any other person, with respect to any securities of
the Company, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the
securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts
or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or
withholding of proxies.
