In connection with, and as a condition to the acquisition of the shares of Preferred Stock, the Reporting Person and the Company entered into (i) a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of August 5, 1999 (Exhibit 2 to this Schedule 13D), and (ii) a Strategic Collaboration Agreement, dated as of August 5, 1999 (Exhibit 3 to this Schedule 13D).

The Reporting Person may formulate other purposes, plans or proposals relating to any of such securities of the Company to the extent deemed advisable in light of market conditions, investment policies and other factors. Except as described in this Item 4 and elsewhere in this Schedule 13D, neither the Reporting Person nor any of the persons named on Schedule I to this Schedule 13D has any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Company, or the disposition of securities of the Company; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present Board of Directors or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company; (f) any other material change in the Page 4 of [ ] Company's business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Company's charter, By-Laws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange or cease to be authorized to be quoted in an interdealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) causing a class of equity securities of the Company to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act, as amended; or (j) any action similar to those enumerated above.

The 1,333,334 shares of Preferred Stock currently are convertible by the Reporting Person, without the payment of additional consideration, into an equal number of shares of Common Stock. The conversion mechanism, as set forth in the Certificate of Designation, provides for the conversion ratio to be adjusted for stock splits, combinations, certain dividends and distributions, reclassifications, merger or reorganization. If the Reporting Person exercised its conversion rights with respect to the Preferred Stock, the Reporting Person would directly control a total of 1,437,499 shares (or 11.4%) of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company. Such percentage is based on the 11,229,646 shares of Common Stock reported as outstanding as of July 23, 1999 in the Company's 10K for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 1999.
