<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">On November 2, 2016,
Jacqueline Lemke informed the board of directors of Bioanalytical Systems, Inc. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) of her intent to resign
from her positions of President and Chief Executive Officer. On November 8, 2016, Ms. Lemke&rsquo;s attorney provided a letter
to Company&rsquo;s counsel, which indicates that Ms. Lemke believes her resignation to be for &quot;good reason&quot; under the
terms of her employment agreement and her expectation of severance compensation commensurate therewith. The board of directors
disagrees with the characterization of the events set forth in the letter, including the statements to the effect that Ms. Lemke
was deprived of her authority as President and Chief Executive Officer, and disagrees that she has met the requirements under her
employment agreement to resign for &quot;good reason&quot;. The board of directors has confirmed that Ms. Lemke has also stepped
down from her position on the Company&rsquo;s board of directors and has accepted Ms. Lemke&rsquo;s respective resignations effective
immediately. The board of directors is in the process of identifying Ms. Lemke&rsquo;s successor.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Jackie
Lemke has engaged my law office to advise her in connection with her separation from employment at Bioanalytical Systems, Inc.
(&quot;BASi&quot;). It is our understanding that you represent BASi. After speaking with Ms. Lemke and reviewing the relevant facts
and agreements, we believe BASi and Ms. Lemke have a mutually beneficial interest in effectuating an amicable separation. In order
to facilitate Ms. Lemke's amicable separation from BASi, we provide the following review to further both parties' interests in
maintaining a strong professional relationship.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0.55in 0pt 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Ms.
Lemke first entered into an employment agreement with BASi on April 9, 2012. This agreement was amended on October 15, 2012 and
February 7, 2013. Ms. Lemke and BASi then entered into a Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (&quot;Second Employment
Agreement&quot;) effective July I, 2014. The Second Employment Agreement contains an Initial Term from July 1, 2014 until June
30, 2017, unless either party terminates the agreement under the provisions of Article 4.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Under
the Second Employment Agreement, Ms. Lemke is to serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Ms. Lemke's
specific duties are described under Article 2 of the Second Employment Agreement. For example, Ms. Lemke &quot;shall have full
responsibility and decision-making authority for the day-to-day operatioris of the Company's business, subject to the general control
of the Board.&quot; <I>See </I>Section 2.1. The Board of Directors currently consists of three members: Larry Boulet, Richard Johnson,
and Wendy Perrow. The Second Employment Agreement further states, &quot;Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
the Company shall not impose employment duties or constraints of any kind upon Employee which would require Employee to violate
any ordinances, regulation, statute or other law.&quot; <I>See </I>Section 2.2.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Since late August 2016,
the Company has imposed constraints upon Ms. Lemke that have inhibited Ms. Lemke's ability to ensure compliance with regulations,
such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. On August 29, 2016, Ms. Lemke was stripped of her decision-making authority for the day-to-day
operations of the Company. Examples of this loss of authority, include without limitation, the Board preventing Ms. Lemke from
having oversight over the Company's CFO, preventing Ms. Lemke from direct involvement in new client meetings and discussions, preventing
Ms. Lemke from enforcing an employee's confidentiality agreement, and preventing Ms. Lemke from hiring a Vice President of Business
Development to fill a critical need. Ms. Lemke notified the Board of these breaches of the Second Employment Agreement through
an email on September 22, 2016.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">On October 7, 2016,
Mr. Boulet dismissed Ms. Lemke from a meeting of the Senior Leadership Team. This incident perpetuated the situation established
by the Board in late August when the CFO, Ms. Jill Blumhoff, was given leadership and particularly inhibited Ms. Lemke's ability
to comply with Section 2.2 of the Second Employment Agreement because the Board gave Ms. Lemke's direct reports authority to exclude
her from knowledge of Company operations and meetings.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">On October 12, 2016,
Ms. Lemke again notified the Board of these breaches of the Second Employment Agreement. Through an email to the Board, Ms. Lemke
provided significant detail regarding her inability to perform her duties because of her loss of decision-making authority for
the day-to-day operations of the Company, and stated, &quot;I am giving you [Mr. Bouleti and the Board notice that there is a disconnect
between the expectations attached to my duties and my ability to continue to execute these duties.&quot;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Nevertheless, the situation
remained unchanged, and on October 14, 2016, Ms. Lemke was informed that her authority to manage the Senior Leadership Team, which
was taken away in late August, would not return, and she would continue to be excluded from exercising decision-making authority
for the day-to-day operations of the Company's business. Ms. Lemke was also informed that her CEO position had been offered to
Richard Johnson, but Mr. Johnson had declined the position. This same day Ms. Lemke was additionally informed that she was entitled
to full severance given the situation. Shortly thereafter, on October 18, 2016, Ms. Lemke was expressly excluded from another Senior
Leadership Team meeting and is unaware of how many other executive meetings have occurred without her knowledge. Ms. Lemke gave
the Company ample opportunities to cure the breach; however, the Company has continued to prevent her from executing her duties
as President and CEO.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Therefore, on November
2, 2016, Ms. Lemke informed the Board that she was resigning her employment with good reason. Ms. Lemke has provided at least ten
days advance notice as per the Second Employment Agreement, and effective November 18, 2016, she is resigning her employment with
good reason pursuant to Section 4.1(a) of her Second Employment Agreement. Ms. Lemke has extensive facts to support good reason
for her resignation, and believes it is in both parties' interests to avoid litigation over this issue. Ms. Lemke expects that
BASi will honor its</P>
