Item 4.      Purpose of Transaction.
     The information in the four paragraphs immediately following below is based on the Merger Agreement (as defined below) and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is Exhibit C hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
     Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 19, 2005 (the “Merger Agreement”), among Perseus, 406 Acquisition Corp. (“Newco”), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Perseus, and the Issuer, Newco will merge with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”). At the effective time of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Newco shall cease and the Issuer shall continue its existence as the surviving corporation. By virtue of the Merger, each of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, except for any shares of Common Stock held by Perseus or Newco or in the treasury of the Issuer, which will be cancelled and cease to exist at the effective time of the Merger with no payment made or consideration delivered in respect thereof, will be converted into the right to receive $9.50 in cash (the “Merger Consideration”).
     In addition, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, all options to acquire shares of Common Stock will be canceled at the effective time of the Merger and each holder of options to acquire shares of Common Stock will receive for each share of Common Stock subject to such options the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of the Common Stock subject to such canceled options, less applicable withholding taxes, if any. Each outstanding share of restricted Common Stock shall become fully vested as of the effective time of the Merger, and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the Merger Consideration, less applicable withholding taxes, if any.
     The Merger Agreement provides that Newco’s directors immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be the Issuer’s directors at the effective time of the Merger and officers of the Issuer immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be the officers of the Issuer at the Effective Time.

     The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is subject to, among other things: (i) the approval and adoption by the requisite affirmative vote of holders of the Common Stock of the Issuer; (ii) the receipt of proceeds of debt commitments from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (collectively “JPMorgan”) in an amount not less than the amount set forth in a debt commitment letter between JPMorgan and Perseus dated as of December 18, 2005 and otherwise on substantially the terms and conditions as set forth therein and (iii) receipt of any material governmental or third party (including the expiration or early termination of all applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended).
     The information in the immediately following paragraph is based on information provided by Perseus and/or Prides or upon statements made by Perseus and/or Prides in filings with the Commission and has not been independently verified.
     Subsequent to the Merger, Perseus and Prides intend to delist the Common Stock from the NASDAQ National Market and to deregister the Common Stock pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
     In connection with the Merger and related transactions, Perseus, Newco, Prides Capital Fund I, L.P. (“Prides Fund”) and Prides 406 Co-Invest, L.P. (“Prides Co-Invest”), ICHC and SCH entered into a Second Amended and Restated Contribution And Voting Agreement, dated as of March 16, 2006 (the “Contribution and Voting Agreement”). Pursuant to the Contribution and Voting Agreement, the Reporting Persons have agreed to contribute shares of Common Stock of the Issuer to Perseus in the following amounts, constituting all of the shares of Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons:
    ICHC will contribute to Perseus, immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, 135,207 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer; and
 
    SCH will contribute to Perseus, immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, 518,584 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.
     In exchange for such contributions, the Reporting Persons will receive shares of Perseus upon closing of the Merger. Pursuant to the Contribution and Voting Agreement, the shares of Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons have been committed to Perseus through an irrevocable proxy coupled with an interest and are required to be voted in favor of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and any other matter required to effect the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
     Other than as provided in the Merger Agreement, the Contribution and Voting Agreement, or in connection with the Merger and related financings and transactions or as otherwise set forth herein, none of the Reporting Persons have any current plans or proposals that relate to or would result in: (a) any person acquiring additional securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of the assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure;

     As of the date hereof, ICHC and SCH directly own 135,207 and 518,584 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, respectively. As the ultimate parent of ICHC and SCH, IHG may be deemed to beneficially own all such shares, for an aggregate of 653,791 shares of Common Stock.
     Pursuant to the Contribution and Voting Agreement, the shares of Common Stock and the voting rights associated with the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Prides Fund, Prides Co-Invest and the Reporting Persons have been committed to Perseus through an irrevocable proxy coupled with an interest. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Contribution and Voting Agreement, the shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons are required to be voted in favor of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and any other matter required to effect the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. As a result, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have shared voting power and dispositive power with respect to the 3,954,036 shares of Common Stock, representing 19.0% of the shares outstanding, beneficially owned by Prides Fund, Prides Co-Invest and the Reporting Persons.
     The information set forth in response to this Item 5 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Contribution and Voting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit B hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
