         2.1 RECEIPT OF OFFER; DISPOSITION NOTICE; PURCHASE OFFER. During the
First Refusal Period if ANI or the ANI Stockholders receive, individually or
collectively, an offer from any Person, or group of Persons affiliated with one
another or acting together with respect to such offer, offering to acquire, in a
single transaction or group of related transactions: (i) all or substantially
all of ANI's assets and properties (the "OFFERED ASSETS"), (ii) equity or debt
securities of ANI (the "OFFERED SECURITIES") that would (or could upon exercise,
exchange or conversion) result in such Person, group of Persons or their
Affiliates owning more than 50% of the outstanding equity securities of ANI; or
(iii) the business of ANI by means of a merger, consolidation, share exchange,
or other business combination or similar transaction, in which 50% or more of
the outstanding shares of ANI are to be exchanged for cash, notes, securities or
any other consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the acquiring company
or its subsidiary (each of the foregoing (i), (ii) and (iii), a "DISPOSITION"),
and such Disposition has either been determined by ANI's Board of Directors to
be an offer which, but for the obligations of ANI under this Section 2, the
Board of Directors would accept and recommend to its stockholders for approval
or acceptance or, in the case of an offer to the ANI Stockholders directly, such
ANI Stockholders desire to accept, then, before acceptance of such offer, ANI
and/or the ANI Stockholders, as applicable, shall give NVC written notice (a
"DISPOSITION NOTICE") of the proposed Disposition which shall include: (a) the
name(s) and address(es) of the proposed transferee or acquirer, or group of
transferees or acquirers (the "ACQUIRING PERSON(S)"), (b) a description of the
Offered Assets and liabilities to be assumed by the Acquiring Person(s), if
applicable, pursuant to the proposed Disposition, or the Offered Securities to
be purchased, if applicable, (c) the proposed consideration to be received
pursuant to the proposed Disposition (in its form as consideration proposed to
be paid by such Acquiring Person(s), the "PROPOSED CONSIDERATION") and the
timing and manner of payment thereof, and (d) the other material terms and
conditions of the proposed Disposition. By giving such Disposition Notice, ANI
and/or the ANI Stockholders, as applicable, shall be deemed to have granted to

                                       3
<PAGE>

NVC the option (a "PURCHASE OPTION") to purchase the Offered Assets or Offered
Securities or effect a Disposition of the type described in clause (iii) above,
as applicable, and assume the liabilities, that are described in the Disposition
Notice at a price equal to the same consideration (subject to paragraph 2.2
below) and on the same payment terms and conditions as are set forth in the
Disposition Notice (collectively, an "NVC PURCHASE"). NVC shall have 10 days
from its receipt of the Disposition Notice to exercise its Purchase Option.
NVC's notice of exercise shall include a description of the consideration, which
in any event shall be subject to meeting the requirements set forth in Section
2.2 below, to be paid by NVC pursuant to the proposed NVC Purchase (the "NVC
CONSIDERATION").

         2.2 PAYMENT OF CONSIDERATION. Any portion of the Proposed Consideration
proposed to be paid by the Acquiring Person(s) in cash shall be paid by NVC in
cash. In the event the Proposed Consideration includes any Non-Monetary
Consideration, NVC may pay such non-cash portion of the consideration in the
form of either (i) cash; or (ii) Non-Monetary Consideration which is of equal
value to the value of the Non-Monetary Consideration contained in the Proposed
Consideration, is of substantially the same quality and, in the case of
promissory notes and other deferred payment obligations, is of substantially
equivalent credit quality, as the Non-Monetary Consideration contained in the
Proposed Consideration and contains substantially the same mix of types of
Non-Monetary Consideration as is contained in the Proposed Consideration. For
purposes of this Section 2, the term "Non-Monetary Consideration" shall mean any
portion of the Proposed Consideration or NVC Consideration which is not cash.
Non-Monetary Consideration shall be valued at the Appraised Value thereof. In
determining the "quality" or "credit quality" of an item of Non-Monetary
Consideration for purposes of this Section 2.2, reference shall be made to
considerations such as (i) in the case of common stock or other securities,
whether there is a public market for such securities, the trading volume or lack
of trading volume of such securities, whether or not such securities are
registered for public sale, the size of the public float of such securities, the
market capitalization of the issuer of such securities, the analyst following of
the issuer of such securities, the credit worthiness of the issuer of such
securities, the size of the stockholder base of the issuer of such securities,
the volatility of the trading market for such securities, and whether or not
such securities are listed on a national exchange or the NASDAQ National Market;
and (ii) in the case of a promissory note or other deferred payment obligation,
the credit worthiness of the debtor, the cash and other resources of the debtor,
the debtor's other liabilities and obligations, and the condition and future
prospects of the debtor, and, in each case, such other considerations as are
relevant to such determination.

         2.3 DETERMINATION OF VALUE AND QUALITY; APPRAISAL PROCEDURE. If the
consideration set forth in the Disposition Notice includes Non-Monetary
Consideration and the parties fail to agree on the Appraised Value of such
Non-Monetary Consideration within 10 days of NVC's exercise of its Purchase
Option, the parties shall within 10 days submit such matter to the determination
of an Independent Financial Expert selected by NVC, such Independent Financial
Expert to be engaged with the understanding that such determination is required
from such Independent Financial Expert no later than 20 days following such
engagement. If the NVC Consideration includes Non-Monetary Consideration and the
parties fail to agree on the Appraised Value (including without limitation,
quality or credit quality, as applicable), of the Non-Monetary portion of the
NVC Consideration within ten days of NVC's exercise of its Purchase Option, the

                                       4
<PAGE>

parties shall within 10 days submit such matter to the determination of an
Independent Financial Expert selected by NVC, such Independent Financial Expert
to be engaged with the understanding that such determination is required from
such Independent Financial Expert no later than 20 days following such
engagement. In either case, NVC shall within such 10-day period provide ANI with
prompt written notice of the name of the Independent Financial Expert selected
by NVC. If ANI disagrees with the selection of any such Independent Financial
Expert and ANI delivers a written notice to NVC objecting to such Independent
Financial Expert within 10 days of its receipt of written notice of the name of
such Independent Financial Expert, then the determination of Appraised Value or
quality or credit quality which such Independent Financial Expert was to
determine shall instead be determined by the average of three Independent
Financial Experts selected as follows within the next 10 days of ANI's delivery
of its notice (i) one Independent Financial Expert selected by NVC, (ii) one
Independent Financial Expert selected by ANI, and (iii) one Independent
Financial Expert selected by the two Independent Financial Experts selected
pursuant to (i) and (ii). In the event the determination of the Independent
Financial Expert(s) as to either Appraised Value or quality or credit quality of
the Non-Monetary portion of the NVC Consideration is less than the Proposed
Consideration, NVC may at its option withdraw its exercise of its Purchase
Option; provided that if NVC has not, within 10 days following such a
determination, modified the NVC Consideration to meet the requirements of
Section 2.2 herein, NVC shall be deemed to have withdrawn the exercise of its
Purchase Option. In either such case NVC shall have no obligation to effect an
NVC Purchase pursuant to its exercise of the Purchase Option, and ANI and/or the
ANI Stockholders may effect the Disposition to the party specified in the
Disposition Notice on terms no less favorable to ANI and/or the ANI
Stockholders, as applicable, than those set forth in the Disposition Notice as
adjusted for the lesser of the Appraised Value of the NVC Consideration or the
Proposed Consideration, at any time within 180 days following such withdrawal or
deemed withdrawal. If ANI and/or the ANI Stockholders, as applicable, fail to
conclude such sale within such 180-day period, the proposed Disposition shall
again become subject to the preferential right set forth in this Section 2. In
the event NVC's exercise of its Purchase Option is not withdrawn or deemed to be
withdrawn pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.3, the parties will in
good faith negotiate and seek to enter into mutually acceptable definitive
documentation regarding an NVC Purchase on terms consistent with the Disposition
Notice. If the parties fail to enter into such definitive documentation within
30 days after the parties' agreement regarding, or the determination of,
Appraised Value and quality, NVC shall have no obligation to effect an NVC
Purchase pursuant to its exercise of the Purchase Option, and ANI and/or the ANI
Stockholders may effect the Disposition to the party specified in the
Disposition Notice on terms no less favorable to ANI and/or the ANI
Stockholders, as applicable, than those set forth in the Disposition Notice, at
any time within 180 days following the expiration of such 30-day period. If ANI
and/or the ANI Stockholders, as applicable, fail to conclude such sale within
such 180-day period, the proposed Disposition shall again become subject to the
preferential right set forth in this Section 2.

         2.4 EXPIRATION OF RIGHT. The First Refusal Period shall commence on the
date hereof and terminate nine months from the date hereof (the "TERMINATION
DATE"); provided, however, that

                                       5
<PAGE>

                  (i) if, as of the Termination Date, ANI shall have received
any inquiry or proposal or request for information from any potential Acquiring
Person(s), which inquiry shall have advanced to such point that as of the
Termination Date the potential Acquiring Person(s) shall have entered into a
letter of intent with ANI or any ANI Stockholder, submitted a written letter
expressing interest, or commenced a due diligence investigation of ANI with
ANI's consent, or

                  (ii) if, as of the Termination Date, ANI shall have initiated
contact with or made, solicited or encouraged any inquiries or proposals from
any potential Acquiring Person(s);

and, as a result of (i) or (ii) above, ANI shall participate in discussions or
negotiations leading to an offer within the 90 day period immediately following
the Termination Date, such offer shall be subject to the provisions of this
Section 2 notwithstanding the expiration of the original First Refusal Period at
the time such offer is actually made. ANI agrees to use its best efforts to keep
NVC apprised of any potential Acquiring Persons, consistent with any
confidentiality obligations it may have with respect to such information.

         2.5 COST OF INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL EXPERT. The cost of the Independent
Financial Expert selected by NVC shall be paid by NVC, unless ANI accepts the
determination of NVC's Independent Financial Expert, in which event ANI shall
pay 1/2 of the cost of such expert. The cost of the Independent Financial
Expert, if any, selected by ANI, shall be paid by ANI. The cost of the
Independent Financial Expert, if any, mutually selected by the two Independent
Financial Experts appointed by each of NVC and ANI shall be paid 1/2 by NVC and
1/2 by ANI.

3.  CREDIT FOR NVC PAYMENTS.

         3.1 CREDIT UPON NVC ACQUISITION OF ANI. If NVC shall at any time other
than pursuant to an exercise of its Purchase Option acquire: (i) all or
substantially all of ANI's assets or properties, or (ii) equity or debt
securities of ANI that would (or could upon exercise, exchange or conversion)
result in NVC owning more than 50% of the outstanding equity securities of ANI,
or (iii) the business of ANI by means of a merger, consolidation, share exchange
or other business combination or similar transaction in which 50% or more of the
outstanding shares of ANI are to be exchanged for cash, notes, securities or
other consideration issued or caused to be issued by NVC or its Affiliates (each
of the foregoing (i), (ii) and (iii), an "OTHER NVC ACQUISITION"), then the
amount of all NVC Payments made through the closing date for the Other NVC
Acquisition shall be credited as already paid by NVC. The amount of such NVC
Payments shall therefore be deducted from the aggregate consideration to be paid
by NVC in connection with such purchase. Unless NVC shall otherwise elect, the
amount of such payments shall first be deducted from the amount of any cash
component of the consideration to be paid by NVC, and thereafter, any excess
shall be deducted from such component or components of the consideration to be
paid by NVC as NVC shall elect. In the event that NVC shall exercise this right,
ANI and NVC agree that the license granted pursuant to Section 3 of the
Development and License Agreement shall be deemed terminated, the rights of NVC
pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Development and License Agreement shall
automatically be assigned to ANI and the Parties shall have no further
obligations with respect to such provisions. This Section 3.1 and the rights and
obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate on the date that is one
year from the Effective Date.

                                       6
<PAGE>

         3.2 CREDIT FOR PURCHASE OF ANI COMMON STOCK; TERMINATION OF LICENSE .
ANI hereby grants NVC the right at any time during the First Refusal Period to
purchase Common Stock of ANI at a purchase price of $881.72 per share with the
NVC Payments then credited to NVC. NVC may exercise this right only with respect
to the full amount of the NVC Payments as at the time of exercise and not in
part. NVC shall be entitled to that number of shares which results from dividing
the aggregate amount in NVC Payments made up to the date of purchase of such
shares by the $881.72 per share price. In the event that NVC shall exercise this
right, ANI and NVC agree that the license granted pursuant to Section 3 of the
Development and License Agreement shall be deemed terminated, the rights of NVC
pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Development and License Agreement shall
automatically be assigned to ANI and the Parties shall have no further
obligations with respect to such provisions.

4.       DISTRIBUTIONS  FROM ANI.

         4.1. DISTRIBUTIONS. For each fiscal quarter of ANI commencing on
January 1, 2003 and ending with the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2008 (the
"FINAL DISTRIBUTION QUARTER"), NVC shall be entitled to distributions out of the
Adjusted Operating Income of ANI until NVC shall have received distributions
pursuant to this Section 4.1; provided, however, that the maximum aggregate
amount to be paid pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be $1,000,000. For each
such quarter, NVC shall be entitled to a distribution from ANI equal to 10% of
ANI's Adjusted Operating Income for such quarter. ANI shall provide to NVC
within forty (40) days after the end of each of the first three quarters of each
such year and eighty (80) days after the end of the final quarter of each such
year up to the Final Distribution Quarter a report setting forth (i) its Gross
Revenues with respect to such quarter, (ii) the amounts received by it from NVC
during such quarter pursuant to the Development and License Agreement, (iii) its
Adjusted Operating Income with respect to such quarter, and (iv) its
expenditures for selling, general and administrative expenses and research and
development during such quarter. Such report shall be accompanied by payment to
NVC equal to 10% of ANI's Adjusted Operating Income for such quarter. All
payments shall be made by check or wire transfer in US Dollars to such address
or bank account as may be designated by NVC from time to time.

         4.2. BOOKS AND RECORDS. ANI shall keep complete and accurate books and
records of all Gross Revenues and Adjusted Operating Income, which may be
inspected by NVC from time to time upon reasonable notice. If any such
inspection discloses underpayments of distributions required by this section for
any period inspected, ANI shall pay such amount promptly with interest from the
date initially due at a rate of 1.5% per month (or, if less, the highest amount
permitted by law). If the additional amount determined to be due to NVC with
respect to any quarter following an inspection exceeds 5% of the amount timely
paid for such quarter, then in addition to the amount of such underpayment and
interest, ANI shall reimburse NVC for the reasonable cost of its inspection or
audit of ANI's books and records.

                                       7
<PAGE>

         4.3. TERMINATION. The rights granted in this Section shall terminate in
the event that NVC shall exercise its rights pursuant to Section 3 above to have
the amount of the NVC Payments credited to the purchase of ANI or ANI shares.

5.  AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS.

         No modifications or amendments to this Agreement shall be valid unless
in writing and signed by and on behalf of ANI, NVC and, if such amendment would
affect the obligations of an ANI Stockholder, such Stockholder. No waiver shall
be valid unless signed and delivered by the party to be charged.

6.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

         This Agreement and the Development and License Agreement constitute the
entire agreement between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof. There are no agreements, understandings, covenants, conditions or
undertakings, oral or written, express or implied, concerning such subject
matter that are not merged herein or superseded hereby.

7.  SEVERABILITY.

         Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted
in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law. If any
provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining
provisions shall be fully enforceable and the invalid or unenforceable provision
shall be automatically replaced by a provision that is as similar as possible in
terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision, but is valid and enforceable.

8.  GOVERNING LAW.

         This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to its conflict of
laws principles.

9. BINDING EFFECT.

         This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder
shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, their respective successors,
assigns and legal representatives, but shall not otherwise be for the benefit of
any third party.

days after deposit in the United States mail. Notices sent by courier or
overnight delivery shall be deemed received two (2) days after they have been so
sent.

11.  FURTHER INSTRUMENTS AND ACTIONS.

           The parties agree to execute such further instruments and to take
such further action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of
this Agreement.

12.  COUNTERPARTS.

         This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.

13.  MEDIATION AND ARBITRATION.

       Any and all claims, disputes or controversies between the parties arising
under or in connection with this Agreement which have not been settled or
resolved among the parties over a period of thirty (30) days (a "DISPUTE"),
shall be settled and resolved as follows:

         (a) Either party, upon concluding that the parties are unable or
         unlikely to resolve a Dispute by good faith negotiation, may initiate
         mediation pursuant to the Commercial Mediation Rules then in force of
         the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") by providing notice
         thereof to the other party, stating in reasonable detail the nature of
         such dispute, with two copies thereof to the AAA.

         (b) If the representatives of the parties have not been able to resolve
         the Dispute within the earlier of fifteen (15) days after the first
         such mediation hearing and within sixty (60) days after the notice of
         the Dispute, then either party may require, by a written request to the
         AAA (with Notice to the other party containing a copy of such request)
         that the Dispute be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with
         the Commercial Arbitration Rules then in force of the AAA. The
         arbitration shall be before a panel of three arbitrators, each such
         arbitrator to have substantial experience in the matters that are the
         subject of the Dispute and to have relevant industry background and
         experience. Nothing contained in this Section 13 shall be construed to
         limit or preclude a party from bringing any action in any court of
         competent jurisdiction for injunctive or other provisional relief to
         compel the other parties to comply with its obligations hereunder
         during the pendency of the arbitration proceedings. The arbitrator
         shall have no power to alter, amend, revoke or suspend any of the
         provisions of this Agreement. Each of the parties shall bear its own
         and its representative's expenses and all other expenses in connection
         with the arbitration proceedings shall be borne by the parties as may
         be determined by the Commercial Arbitration Rules, provided however
         that the arbitrator may in its sole discretion assess any or all of the
         expenses against any party or parties as deemed equitable by the
         arbitrator. Except to the extent required by law, neither party to this
         Agreement, arbitrator, representative, counsel or witness shall
         disclose or confirm to any person not present at the arbitration
         hearings any information about the hearings, including the names of the
         parties and arbitrator, the nature and amount of the claims, the
         financial condition of any party, the expected date of hearing or the
