July 1990, the Company adopted a policy to pay a per meeting fee of $750 to each non-employee director for his attendance and service at each regularly scheduled Board of Directors&#146; meeting. Effective June 1994, the Company increased this fee
to $1,000 per regularly scheduled quarterly meeting. Effective June 2000, the Company also began paying an annual retainer fee of $2,000 (paid in advance in two semi-annual installments of $1,000 each) to compensate for time spent by directors on
Company business outside of the regularly scheduled quarterly meeting dates. Beginning in 2002, the Board began to regularly meet two times per year in-person and two times per year by teleconference. At times when a director attends a part but not
all of a meeting, the compensation is reduced proportionately. The meeting fee for in-person meetings is reduced by 50% for full participation by teleconference and is reduced by 75% for partial participation by teleconference. Occasionally, special
meetings of the Board of Directors are called in addition to the regularly scheduled quarterly meetings, and generally no additional fee is paid to directors in connection with service at such special meetings. Messrs. Cashen, Maxwell and Sayare
each received $6,000, and Mr. Rothschild received $5,000 during 2003 for their attendance and services at regular meetings of the Board of Directors and for the annual retainer fee. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

an option to purchase 15,000 shares, at the fair market value on the date when such directors are first elected to the Board by the shareholders. One such grant that was made in 2001 is currently outstanding. In each case, one-third of the options

President and Chief Financial Officer and Dr. Crabb agreed to serve as Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer. Effective February 2000, Mr. Brigham was appointed to serve as President and CEO of the Company. Under the agreements, both of these
executive officers is entitled to receive a minimum annual salary retroactive to February 1999 of $95,000, subject to increases and bonus pay at the discretion of the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Company&#146;s Board of Directors.
This minimum annual salary was increased to $100,000, $125,000 and $130,000 effective February 1, 2000, 2001 and 2003, respectively, for both of these executive officers. After fifteen years of service to the Company, Dr. Crabb voluntarily elected
to take a six week unpaid leave of absence during 2003, during which time $15,000 was deducted from his minimum annual salary. Should the employment of either of these executive officers be terminated for reasons other than voluntary resignation or
termination for just cause, as defined in the agreements, the terminated officer(s) would be entitled to receive three months&#146; salary, as well as the associated regular employee benefits at the then prevailing levels. </FONT></P> <P
