Audit Committee, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee and the Nominating Committee. During the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007, each director attended at least 75 percent of the aggregate of (i)&nbsp;the total number of meetings of the

audits and reviews of its financial statements. The Audit Committee engages the Company&#146;s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, consults with such auditors with regard to audit plans, reviews the annual reports of the independent
auditors, oversees the adequacy of the Company&#146;s internal operating procedures and controls, meets with management and the auditors to review quarterly and annual financial results, authorizes the public release of press releases covering
financial results, reviews and authorizes quarterly and annual reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and otherwise oversees compliance with certain legal, ethical and regulatory matters. The Committee&#146;s members are
Mr.&nbsp;Bruce, Dr.&nbsp;Maxwell and Dr.&nbsp;Sayare. Dr.&nbsp;Sayare serves as chair of the Committee. All members of the Audit Committee meet the heightened independence requirements for audit committees under applicable NASDAQ Stock Market rules,
and the Board has determined that Mr.&nbsp;Bruce and Dr.&nbsp;Sayare qualify as audit committee financial experts as defined in applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules. The Audit Committee held seven meetings during 2007. The Audit
Committee Report can be found on page 6 of this Proxy Statement, and the &#147;Charter and Powers of the Audit Committee&#148; has been posted on the Company&#146;s web-site (www.immucell.com/pdf/charter.pdf). </FONT></P> <P

whom are independent directors. Dr.&nbsp;Rhodes serves as chair of the Committee. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee held three meetings during 2007 and took action once by unanimous written consent. The Compensation and Stock Option
Committee does not have a charter but instead operates within the authority provided by the Company&#146;s By-laws and authorizing resolutions adopted by the Board. Its recommendations on executive and director compensation are subject to review and
final approval by the Board of Directors, a majority of whose members are independent directors. Company management provides the Committee with information relevant to a determination of executive and director compensation, but does not participate
in Committee votes in this regard. In recent years, the Committee has not retained or relied upon outside consultants to assist in its determination of executive or director compensation. </FONT></P> <P

then approved by a vote of the Board. The Committee&#146;s members are Mr.&nbsp;Rothschild, Dr.&nbsp;Sayare and Dr.&nbsp;Tomsche, all of whom are independent directors. Mr.&nbsp;Rothschild serves as chair of the Committee. The Nominating Committee
met one time during 2007. The Nominating Committee will consider nominees for director recommended by stockholders, applying the same evaluation standards as it would apply to candidates identified by management or the Committee. Recommendations for
director nominees may be sent to the Nominating Committee through the Secretary of the Company. Under the Company&#146;s By-laws, stockholders intending to formally nominate a person for election as a director at the Annual Meeting itself, as
distinguished from recommending a candidate to the Nominating Committee, must notify the Secretary of the Company in writing of this intent not less than 60 nor more than 90 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year&#146;s Annual

attendance at Board of Directors&#146; meetings or committee meetings. The Company pays non-employee directors an annual retainer of $2,000 (payable in two equal installments in January and July), plus a fee of $1,000 for each of the four regularly
scheduled Board meetings per year. Per-meeting fees are subject to reduction if a director attends less than substantially all of the meeting, and are generally waived altogether in the case of special meetings. 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. Effective July&nbsp;1, 2008, the annual retainer is expected to be increased to $4,000. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In June 2000, the stockholders approved the 2000 Stock Option Plan for Outside Directors. Under this Plan, each of the five non-employee directors then
serving on the Board was granted a non-qualified stock option to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock as of the date of the stockholder vote ($3.50 per share). Under the Plan,
directors who were newly elected to the Board after June 2000 received an automatic grant of a non-qualified stock option to purchase 15,000 shares, at fair market value on the date the director was elected. Two such grants were made in 2001 (at
$2.71 per share). All options granted under the Plan vested in three equal annual installments, and expired if not exercised within five years of the date of grant. The 2000 Outside Directors Plan expired on June&nbsp;21, 2005. Expiration of the
Plan did not affect previously granted options. The last remaining outstanding options under this Plan were exercised (by Mr.&nbsp;Rothschild) during 2006. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">At the time first elected to the Board, Dr.&nbsp;Rhodes, Mr.&nbsp;Bruce and Dr.&nbsp;Tomsche were each granted a non-qualified stock option to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock under the Company&#146;s 2000 Stock
Option and Incentive Plan. The options were granted on terms similar to those previously granted to other directors under the 2000 Outside Director Plan. Dr.&nbsp;Rhodes&#146; option has an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common
stock on August&nbsp;22, 2005 ($4.67 per share), and vests in three equal increments if and when re-elected to the Board in 2006, 2007 and 2008. Dr.&nbsp;Rhodes exercised 2,000 of these stock options in June 2007. The options granted to
Mr.&nbsp;Bruce and Dr.&nbsp;Tomsche have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on December&nbsp;20, 2006 ($5.80 per share), and vest in three equal increments if and when re-elected to the Board in 2007, 2008 and 2009.
These options to Dr.&nbsp;Rhodes, Mr.&nbsp;Bruce and Dr.&nbsp;Tomsche expire if not exercised within five years after the date of grant or, if earlier, within three months (twelve in cases of death or disability) after termination of service as a
director. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>
