the Closing shall have been performed in all material respects.

          4.  Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. In order to
induce the Company to sell the Shares to the Purchaser, the Purchaser hereby
acknowledges, represents, warrants and agrees as follows:

              4.1.  None of the Shares of Series F Stock are (and the shares of
common stock, no par value ("Common Stock") issuable upon conversion thereof
("Conversion Shares") will not be) registered under the Securities Act of 1933
(as amended, the "Securities Act") or any state securities laws. The Purchaser
understands that the sale of the Shares is intended to be exempt from
registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or the provisions of
Regulation D promulgated thereunder, based, in part, upon the representations,
warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement.

              4.2.  Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state
securities commission has approved any of the Shares or passed upon or endorsed
the merits of this transaction.

              4.3.  Prior to its execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser has
received from the Company (i) the draft Registration Statement on Form S-1 for
the Company dated August, 1996, together with a supplemental update thereto
dated October 3, 1996 (collectively called the "Disclosure Statement"), (ii) a
copy of the Amended Articles, for the purpose of creating the Series F Stock,
and (iii) the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended
June 30, 1996, and the unaudited financial statements of the Company for the
month ended September 30, 1996 (the "Most Recent Financial Statements")
(collectively, the "Financial Statements").

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
              4.4.  The Purchaser acknowledges that all documents, records and
books pertaining to the investment in the Shares, including the Disclosure
Statement, have been made available for inspection by the Purchaser, or by its
attorney, accountant, purchaser representative and/or tax advisor (collectively,
the "Advisors") and that the Purchaser and/or its Advisors have completed such
review as they deem to be necessary to make the decision to purchase the Shares.

              4.5.  The Purchaser has reviewed the merits and risks of an
investment in the Shares. The Purchaser and the Advisors have had a reasonable
opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from members of management
of the Company concerning the offer and sale of the Shares and all such
questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of the Purchaser.

              4.6.  In evaluating the suitability of an investment in the
Shares, the Purchaser has not relied upon any representation or other
information (oral or written) other than as contained in documents or answers to
questions so furnished to the Purchaser or its Advisors by the Company.

              4.7.  No oral or written representations have been made or oral or
written information furnished to the Purchaser or its Advisors in connection
with this Agreement which were in any way inconsistent with the information
provided to the Purchaser or its Advisors, including the Disclosure Statement.

              4.8.  The Purchaser, together with the Advisors, have such
knowledge and experience in financial, tax and business matters so as to enable
each of them to utilize the information made available to each of them in
connection with the purchase of the Shares to evaluate the merits and risks of
an investment in the Shares and to make an informed investment decision with
respect thereto.

              4.9.  The Purchaser is not relying on the Company with respect to
the tax and other economic considerations of an investment in the Shares, and
the Purchaser has relied on the advice, or has consulted with, only its own
Advisors concerning tax matters.

              4.10. The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares solely for its own
account, for investment, and not with a view to or for subdivision, resale or
distribution, in whole or in part, and no other person has or will have a direct
or indirect beneficial interest in the Shares, other than for any partner or
shareholder owners of the Purchaser, if any.

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
              4.11.  The Purchaser must bear the economic risk of the investment
indefinitely because none of the Shares of Series F Stock (or Conversion Shares)
may be sold, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless (i) subsequently
registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or
(ii) an exemption from registration is available at that time. Legends shall be
placed on the Shares (and the Conversion Shares) to the effect that they have
not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws
and appropriate notations thereon will be made in the Company's stock books.

              4.12.  The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for the
Purchaser's current financial needs and foreseeable contingencies and the
Purchaser accepts the fact that an investment in the Shares will not be liquid.

              4.13.  The Purchaser is aware that an investment in the Shares
involves a number of very significant risks and, in particular, acknowledges
that the Company is in the development stage. The Purchaser understands that the
risks associated with an investment in the Shares could result in, and the
Purchaser can sustain, a complete loss of its investment.

              4.14.  The Purchaser is an "accredited investor" as such term is
defined in the regulations promulgated under the Securities Act.

              4.15.  The Purchaser represents that it has full power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and all other related agreements
and certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof and to
purchase and hold the Shares, and this Agreement is a legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Purchaser. The execution and delivery of this Agreement will
not violate or be in conflict with any order, judgment, injunction, agreement or
controlling document to which the Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound.

              4.16.  The Purchaser represents to the Company that the
information contained herein may be relied upon by the Company in determining
the availability of an exemption from registration under federal and state
securities laws. The Purchaser further represents and warrants that it will
notify the Company immediately upon the occurrence of any material change to the
information contained herein occurring prior to the Company's issuance of the
Shares.

              4.17.  The Purchaser is unaware of, and in no way relying on, any
form of general solicitation or general advertising in connection with the offer
and sale of the Shares.

              4.18.  The Purchaser agrees that the Shares may not be sold,
mortgaged, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred unless the Shares are

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or are
exempt from registration thereunder; and that the certificate evidencing the
Shares will contain a customary Securities Act legend with respect to the
foregoing transfer restriction.

          5.  Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company
represents and warrants to the Purchaser that:

              5.2. Authorization of Agreement.

                   a.  The execution and delivery by the Company of this
Agreement, the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder, the
issuance, sale and delivery of the Series F Stock and the issuance and delivery
of the Conversion Shares have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate
action and will not violate any provision of law, any order of any court or

encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the properties or assets of the

                   b.  The Series F Stock has been duly authorized and, when

ownership thereof and will be free and clear of all liens, charges,
restrictions, claims and encumbrances imposed by or through the Company except

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
Stock tendered for conversion is free and clear of liens or encumbrances, will

Company or to any right of first refusal or other right in favor of any person
which right has not been waived.

              5.3.  Validity. This Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by the Company and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation

Common Stock and 9,451,766 shares of Preferred Stock will be validly issued and
outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable with no personal liability attaching
to the ownership thereof. The stockholders of record and holders of

(contingent or other), if any, to purchase or otherwise acquire equity
securities of the Company prior to the Closing Date and the number of shares of
Common Stock and the number of such subscriptions, warrants, options,
convertible securities, and other such rights, if any, held by each, are as set

designations, powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and
restrictions in respect of each class of authorized capital stock of the Company
are as set forth in the Amended Articles, a copy of which has previously been
delivered to the Purchaser, and all such designations, powers, preferences,
rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions are valid, binding and
enforceable and in accordance with all applicable laws. Except as set forth in
the attached Schedule 6.4 or in the Disclosure Statement, (a) no person owns of
record or is known to the Company to own beneficially any share of Common Stock,
(b) no subscription, warrant, option, convertible security, or other right
(contingent or other) to purchase or otherwise acquire equity securities of the
Company is authorized or outstanding and (c) there is no commitment by the
Company to issue shares, subscriptions, warrants, options, convertible

equity securities any evidence of indebtedness or asset. Except as provided for
in the Amended Articles or as set forth herein, the Company has no obligation
(contingent or other) to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of its equity
securities or any interest therein or to pay any dividend or make any other
distribution in respect thereof. Except as set forth herein or in the Disclosure
Statement, there are no voting trusts or agreements, stockholders agreements,
pledge agreements, buy-sell agreements, rights of first refusal, preemptive
rights or proxies relating to any securities of the Company (whether or

<PAGE>
 
not the Company is a party thereto). All of the outstanding securities of the
Company were issued in compliance with all applicable Federal and state

Purchaser, there is no (a) action, suit, claim, proceeding or investigation

foreign, (b) arbitration proceeding relating to the Company pending under
collective bargaining agreements or otherwise or (c) governmental inquiry

affecting the Company (including without limitation any inquiry as to the
qualification of the Company to hold or receive any license or permit), and, to
the best knowledge of the Company, there is no basis for any of the foregoing.
Without waiving any applicable attorney-client privilege, the Company has not

disadvantage which may be material to its business, prospects, financial
condition, operations, property or affairs. To the best knowledge of the
Company, the Company is not in default with respect to any order, writ,
injunction or decree known to or served upon the Company of any court or of any

the Company of any material term thereunder; the Company has not been notified
of any default and has no reason to believe that it is in default of any term
thereunder. To the best of the Company's knowledge, no other party to any such
lease or agreement is in default of a material term thereunder. No event has
occurred and is continuing which, with due notice or lapse of time or both,
would constitute a default or event of default by the Company under any such
lease or agreement or, to the best of the Company's knowledge, by any other
party thereto. The Company's possession of such property has not been disturbed
and, to the best of the Company's knowledge, no claim has been asserted against

Company is a party or by which it or its property may be bound. The Company has
no present expectation or intention of not fully performing all its obligations
under each such material lease, contract or other agreement and the Company has
no knowledge of any breach or anticipated breach by the other party to any
contract or commitment to which the Company is a party.

              5.18.  Patents, Trademarks, Etc.

patents, patent rights, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications,
service marks, service mark applications, trade names and copyrights, and all
material applications for such which are in the process of being prepared, owned
by or registered in the name of the Company, or of which the Company is a
licensor or licensee or in which the Company has any right, and in each case a
brief description of the nature of such right. The Disclosure Statement contains
an accurate and complete description of all material licenses. The Company is in
compliance in all material respects with each of such licenses. The Company owns
or possesses adequate licenses or other rights to use all patents, patent
applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, service mark
applications, trade names, copyrights, manufacturing processes, formulae, trade
secrets and know how (collectively, "Intellectual Property") necessary to the
conduct of its business as conducted, and no claim is pending or, to the best of
the Company's knowledge, threatened to the effect that the operations of the
Company infringe upon or conflict with the asserted rights of any other person
under any Intellectual Property, and, to the best knowledge of the Company,
there is no basis for any such claim (whether or not pending or threatened). No
claim is pending or threatened to the effect that any such Intellectual Property
owned or licensed by the Company, or which the Company otherwise has the right
to use, is invalid or unenforceable by the Company, or that the Company is not
in compliance with any term or condition of a license, and there is no basis for
any such claim (whether or not pending or threatened). The Company has not
granted or assigned to any other person or entity any right to manufacture, have
manufactured, assemble or sell the products or proposed products or to provide

                                      12

the services or proposed services of the Company except as set forth in the
Disclosure Statement.

                     b.  The Company has taken reasonable security measures to
protect the secrecy, confidentiality, and value of the Company's trade secrets;
any of their employees and any other persons who, either alone or in concert
with others, developed, invented, discovered, derived, programmed, or designed
these secrets, or who have knowledge of or access to information relating to
them, have entered into agreements protecting the confidentiality thereof.
 
              5.19.  Proprietary Information of Third Parties. To the best of
the Company's knowledge, no third party has claimed or has reason to claim that
any person employed by or affiliated with the Company has (a) violated or may be
violating any of the terms or conditions of his employment, non-competition or
nondisclosure agreement with such third party, (b) disclosed or may be
disclosing or utilized or may be utilizing any trade secret or proprietary
information or documentation of such third party or (c) interfered or may be
interfering in the employment relationship between such third party and any of
its present or former employees. No third party has requested information from
the Company which suggests that such a claim might be contemplated. To the best
of the Company's knowledge, no person employed by or affiliated with the Company
has employed or proposes to employ any trade secret or any information or
documentation proprietary to any former employer, and to the best of the
Company's knowledge, no person employed by or affiliated with the Company has
violated any confidential relationship which such person may have had with any
third party, in connection with the development, manufacture or sale of any
product or proposed product or the development or sale of any service or
proposed service of the Company, and the Company has no reason to believe there
will be any such employment or violation. To the best of the Company's
knowledge, none of the execution or delivery of this Agreement, or the carrying
on of the business of the Company as officers, employees or agents by any
officer, director or key employee of the Company, or the conduct or proposed
conduct of the business of the Company, will conflict with or result in a breach
of the terms, conditions or provisions of or constitute a default under any
contract, covenant or instrument under which any such person is obligated.

              5.20.  Compliance With Law. To the best of the Company's
knowledge, the Company has complied with all laws, rules, regulations and orders
applicable to its business, operations, properties, assets, products and
services, the violation of which would have a material adverse effect upon the
Company, and the Company has all necessary permits, licenses and other
authorizations required to conduct its business as it is now conducted. To the
best of the Company's knowledge, there is no existing law, rule, regulation or
order, and the
                                       13
<PAGE>
 
Company after due inquiry is not aware of any proposed law, rule, regulation or
order, whether Federal or state, which would prohibit or restrict the Company
from, or otherwise materially adversely affect the Company in, conducting its
business, in which it is now conducting business or in which it proposes to
conduct business, other than the customary governmental approvals required for
medical products. Without limiting the foregoing in any manner, to the best of
the Company's knowledge, the Company has complied in all material respects with
all applicable laws relating to the employment of labor, including provisions
relating to wages, hours, equal opportunity, collective bargaining and the
payment of Social Security and other taxes, with the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended, with the Occupational Health and Safety Act,
and with the Americans With Disabilities Act. To the best of the Company's
knowledge, the Company is in full compliance with the Immigration Reform and
Control Act of 1986, as amended, and all key employees who are not United States
citizens are currently authorized under United States immigration laws to hold
United States employment and will continue to have such employment authorization
throughout the term of the Series F Stock investment, and are otherwise in
compliance with United States immigration laws.

              5.21.  Loans and Advances. The Company does not have any
outstanding loans or advances to any person and is not obligated to make any
such loans or advances, except as reflected on the Financial Statements, and
except, in each case, for advances to employees of the Company in respect of
reimbursable business expenses anticipated to be incurred by them in connection
with their performance of services for the Company. In the near future, the
Company expects to borrow funds from the State Treasurer of the State of
Michigan pursuant to a pending convertible loan commitment, as described in
Section 12 hereof.

              5.22.  Assumptions, Guaranties, Etc. of Indebtedness of Other
Persons. Except as disclosed in the Financial Statements, the Company has not
assumed, guaranteed, endorsed or otherwise become directly or contingently
liable on any indebtedness of any other person (including, without limitation,
liability by way of agreement, contingent or otherwise, to purchase, to provide
funds for payment, to supply funds to or otherwise invest in the debtor, or
otherwise to assure the creditor against loss), except for guaranties by
endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection in the ordinary
course of business.

the Company which would, in its opinion, require the Company to revise or
amplify the Disclosure Statement.

              5.25.  Offering of Shares. This Agreement is being made by the
Company pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the

                                  Litigation


     1.   R. M. Schwartz.  The Company has written letters to a former employee,
Richard M. Schwartz, Ph.D. and Dr. Schwartz's new employer, SyStemix, (i)
reminding them of Dr. Schwartz's duty to maintain strict confidentiality as to
the Company's trade secrets; and (ii) asking if there has been any breach of
this confidentiality obligation; and (iii) commenting that a new invention by
Systemix's appears to be derived from the Company's trade secrets.  Systemix and
Dr. Schwartz have denied any use of the Company's trade secrets.  The Company
has reserved its rights in this matter, but does not presently contemplate
pursuing this potential claim in the near future.

     2.   Sundberg-Ferar.  The Company has commenced an arbitration proceeding
against Sundberg-Ferar ("S-F") for what the Company asserts to be a breach by S-
F of the contractual obligations of S-F to not solicit away from the Company's
employment its employees.  This arbitration is for the Company to seek damages
recovery from S-F, although if the Company is not successful in this
arbitration, then S-F may seek to recover its attorney's fees incurred in
defending the arbitration proceedings.
