PARAGRAPH XVI IS AS FOLLOWS:

                           XVI. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

It is  anticipated  that  development  programs  may result in the  creation  of
intellectual property (IP) based on usage, dose, and/or specific formulations of
Chrysalin(TM)  or related  peptides or Technology  Improvements.  Chrysalis will
retain rights to any and all patents  resulting from development  programs using
TP508 or related peptides regardless of inventorship.  Where such patents extend
the exclusive  right to manufacture,  sell, or use TP508or related  peptides for
Orthopedic  Indications in the Field,  the  additional  patent  protection  will
likewise  extend the term of the original and amended  agreement and obligations
of  OrthoLogic,  its  partners  or  successors,  to  purchase  TP508 and related
peptides from Chrysalis and pay Royalties to Chrysalis.  In addition,  Chrysalis
will retain the following rights:

1.   SOLE OR JOINTLY DEVELOPED IP. Any and all patents resulting from IP jointly
     developed by Chrysalis  (or  Chrysalis/UTMB)  personnel  and  OrthoLogic or
     OrthoLogic  Partner  scientists  will be  assigned to  Chrysalis  (or UTMB)
     without fee and will be filed and prosecuted  either by or in consultations
     with Chrysalis IP Counsel.

2.   ORTHOLOGIC (OR PARTNER) IP (NO CHRYSALIS/UTMB INVENTORSHIP). All inventions
     related to the Chrysalin(TM)/TO508  technology will be promptly reported to
     Chrysalis. Any resulting patents related to or contributing to products for
     Licensed Indications will be assigned to Chrysalis without fee. Any patents
     resulting  from IP that  uses the  Chrysalin(TM)/TP508  technology,  but is
     specific to applications  outside of the Licensed  Indications may be owned
     and  patented  by  OrthoLogic  or Partner,  but right of first  refusal for
     licensing  such new IP will be  granted to  Chrysalis.  The  assignment  of
     patents  alone  under  this  condition  would  not  give  Chrysalis  use of
     OrthoLogic  or Partner  proprietary  matrix or  delivery  products  without
     additional license agreements.
