<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Board of Directors has the responsibility for
establishing corporate policies and for the overall performance of the Company,
although it is not involved in day-to-day operations. Currently, a majority (four
of seven) of the Directors serving on our Board of Directors are independent
Directors as defined in the listing standards of The American Stock Exchange
(the &#147;AMEX&#148;). The Company&#146;s current independent Directors are Messrs.&nbsp;Marco
Laterza, Amy Mack, Marwan Saker, and Clarence Zierhut.&#160; In determining whether the Directors were
independent, the Company considered the following transactions:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in .5in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Mr.&nbsp;Clarence
Zierhut, a Director, assisted the Company in the past, through Origin Design,
in addressing design issues.&#160; Origin
Design has been paid consulting fees which have never aggregated to $60,000 per
year.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in .5in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in .5in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Board of Directors, in reviewing the independence of its members, further
considered the fact that we paid Ms.&nbsp;Mack&#146;s company $4,500 in 2007 for
participation in a clinical trial.&nbsp; The Board of Directors determined that
her independence was not compromised by such transaction.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Board of Directors meets quarterly throughout the
year to review significant developments affecting the Company and to act upon
matters requiring its approval. It also holds special meetings as required from
time to time when important matters arise requiring Board action between
scheduled meetings. During the last fiscal year, the Board of Directors met
eight times. Mr.&nbsp;Marwan Saker attended fewer than 75 percent of the
aggregate of meetings of the Board of Directors and the Committees on which he
served in 2007. <b>&#160;</b>The
Board of Directors has established standing Audit, Compensation and Benefits,
Nominating, and Executive Committees to devote attention</font></p>

Directors, preparing any necessary compensation reports, and administering our
equity and other incentive plans.&#160; The
committee&#146;s authority may not be delegated except back to the full Board of
Directors.&#160; In the past, Company&#146;s
counsel has retained Trinity Executive Recruiters,&nbsp;Inc. to assist the
committee in providing benchmarks for compensation of executive officers by
similarly sized companies in similar industries.&#160; However, the Company is not required to
retain such consultants and such consultants are not retained on an ongoing
basis.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As set forth in Section&nbsp;(C)(5)&nbsp;of our
Nominating Committee Charter, it is the policy of the Nominating Committee to
consider all bona fide candidates recommended by shareholders for nomination
for election to the Board. The Committee considers such candidates using the
same screening criteria as are applied to all other potential nominees for
election, provided that the shareholder nominations are submitted in a timely
and complete manner.</font></p>

selection criterion that identifies desirable skills and experience for
prospective Board members, including those properly nominated by shareholders,
and addresses the issues of diversity and background. The Board, with the
assistance of the Nominating Committee, selects potential new Board members
using the criteria and priorities established from time to time based upon the
needs of the Company.&#160; The composition,
skills, and needs of the Board change over time and will be considered in
establishing the desirable profile of candidates for any specific opening on
the Board of Directors.</font></p>

Committee Charter, at a minimum, recommended nominees by the Nominating
Committee for service on the Board must be well regarded and experienced
participants in their field(s)&nbsp;of specialty, familiar at the time of their
appointment with our business, willing to devote the time and attention
necessary to deepen and refine their understanding of the Company and the
issues facing it, and must have an understanding of the demands and
responsibilities of service on a public company board of directors. The
Nominating Committee will also consider such qualities as independence from the
Company. Each nominee will be considered both on his or her individual merits
and in relation to existing or other potential members of the Board, with a
view to establishing a well-rounded, diverse, knowledgeable, and experienced
Board.</font></p>

Board of Directors adopted the 2008 Stock Option Plan (the &#147;Plan&#148;).&#160; The shareholders must approve the Plan within
12 months in order to qualify certain options under the Plan as potential
Incentive Stock Options (&#147;ISOs&#148;).&#160; The
Plan, if approved, will provide for the granting of ISOs and Non-Qualified
Stock Options (&#147;NQSOs&#148;), as defined in the Plan and collectively referred to in
this section as &#147;Stock Options&#148;.&#160; The
purpose of the Plan will be to encourage stock ownership by the Company&#146;s
employees, to provide an incentive for such employees to expand and improve the
profits of the Company, and to assist the Company in attracting and retaining
key personnel and relationships through the grant of Stock Options to purchase
shares of Common Stock.&#160; The following

Company to grant ISOs to employees of the Company and NQSOs to employees,
independent contractors, and non-employee Directors.&#160;&#160; There are currently 142 employees, four
non-employee Directors, and five consultants that are eligible for awards under
the Plan.&#160; The Plan will be administered
by the Compensation and Benefits Committee (the &#147;Committee&#148;), or, if the Board
decides otherwise on an occasion, by the Board (such body referred to herein as
&#147;Administrator&#148;). The interpretation and construction of a provision of the
Plan by the Committee shall be final unless otherwise determined by the Board
of Directors.&#160; The Company has reserved a
maximum of 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock to be available for issuance
pursuant to Stock Options granted under the Plan, </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">subject to adjustment to reflect a subdivision or

respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by any employee during
any calendar year shall not exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), or

stock options currently held by some of our employees and Directors in exchange
for&nbsp;the issuance of a lesser amount of stock options with lower exercise

this exchange, we will more cost-effectively provide retention and incentive

paying additional cash compensation.&nbsp; Assuming full participation, the plan

Committee recommended to our Board of Directors, and our Board of Directors
subsequently authorized, a one-time Option Exchange Plan (the &#147;Option Exchange

Plan, eligible employees, including executive officers, and members of our

options that were granted under our 1999 Stock Option Plan (the &#147;1999 Plan&#148;) or

<h2 style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:normal;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;page-break-after:auto;">&nbsp;</h2>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Many of our employees now hold stock options with
exercise prices significantly higher than the current market price of our
Common Stock. For example, on July&nbsp;28, 2008, the closing price of our
Common Stock on the AMEX was $1.22 per share and the weighted average exercise
price of Eligible Options was $8.78. Consequently, as of July&nbsp;28, 2008,
approximately 1,938,000 shares of outstanding stock options held by Eligible Participants
were &#147;underwater,&#148; meaning that the exercise price of each outstanding stock
option was less than the market price for our Common Stock. Although we
continue to believe that stock options are an important component of our
employees&#146; total compensation, many of our employees view their existing
options as having little or no value due to the difference between the exercise
prices and the current market price of our Common Stock. As a result, for many
employees, these options are ineffective at providing the incentives and
retention value that our Board of Directors believes are necessary to motivate
our management and our employees.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In addition to providing key incentives to our
employees and Directors, the Option Exchange Plan is also designed to benefit
our stockholders by reducing the potential dilution from stock option exercises
in the future and by providing us better retention tools for our key
contributors due to the extended vesting terms for the New Options. We estimate
a reduction in our overhang of outstanding stock options of approximately 969,000
shares, assuming full participation in the Option Exchange Plan. The actual
reduction in our overhang that could result from the Option Exchange Plan could
vary significantly and is dependent upon the actual level of participation in
the Option Exchange Plan.</font></p>

each New Option granted to employees in exchange for surrendered Eligible
Options, measured as of the date the New Options are granted, over the fair
value of the Eligible Options surrendered in exchange for the New Options,
measured immediately prior to the cancellation. This incremental compensation
cost will be recognized ratably over the vesting period of the New Options. As
would be the case with Eligible Options, in the event that any of the New
Options are forfeited prior to their vesting due to termination of service, the
compensation cost for the forfeited New Options will not be recognized.</font></p>

consists of four basic components:</font></p>

choose to pay a significant component of our compensation in base salary due to
the fact that our financial performance is constrained by the monopolistic
activities of BD.&nbsp; We have been blocked from access to the market by
exclusive marketing practices engaged in by BD who dominates the market. We
believe that its monopolistic business practices continue despite its paying
$100 million to settle a prior lawsuit with us in 2004 for anticompetitive
practices, business disparagement, and tortious interference. Until such time
as we believe that we have access to the market, we believe that it is
appropriate to weigh our Compensation Program heavily in favor of base salaries
rather than in incentive compensation.</font></p>

incentives are provided through grants of stock options primarily under our
1999 Stock Option Plan.&nbsp; The grants are designed to align the interests of
executive officers with those of stockholders and to provide each executive
officer with a significant incentive to manage from the perspective of an owner
with an equity stake in the Company.</font></p>

compensation remains the same until there is a review of such compensation by
the Compensation and Benefits Committee.&nbsp; Compensation, other than that of
the Chief Executive Officer, has not been reviewed annually.&nbsp; Under the
terms of Mr.&nbsp;Shaw&#146;s employment agreement, his compensation is reviewed
annually.&nbsp; In the past, when there is a review of executive compensation,
we have retained an outside consulting firm, Trinity Executive Recruiters, to
provide benchmarks for similar compensation given the multiple and varied
positions each executive fulfills as well as our size and the hostile
environment in which we operate.</font></p>

base salary for each of our executive officers is subjectively determined
primarily on the basis of the following factors:&nbsp; experience, individual
performance, contribution to our performance, level of responsibility, duties
and functions, salary levels in effect for comparable positions within and
without our industry, and internal base salary comparability considerations.</font></p>

base salaries are reviewed periodically and may be adjusted based upon the
factors discussed in the previous sentence, as well as upon individual
performance during the previous fiscal year, changes in the duties, responsibilities
and functions of the executive officer, and general changes in the compensation
peer group in which we compete for executive talent.&nbsp; The relative weight
given to each of these factors in the Compensation and Benefits Committee&#146;s
recommendation differs from individual to individual, as the Compensation and
Benefits Committee deems appropriate.</font></p>

2007, we did not grant bonuses to our executive officers.&nbsp; These bonuses,
when paid, are paid on a discretionary basis, as determined by the Compensation
and Benefits Committee.&nbsp; Factors considered by the Compensation and
Benefits Committee in determining discretionary cash bonuses are personal
performance, level of responsibility, and many of the same factors considered
by the Compensation and Benefits Committee and discussed above when it reviews
and sets base salaries, except with a greater focus on the prior fiscal
year.&#160; The Compensation and Benefits
Committee also considers our need to retain cash in deciding whether to grant
cash bonuses.</font></p>

time to time and may do so in the future.&nbsp; We have not issued any stock
options in 2005, 2006, and 2007. The options are generally granted to regular full-time
employees and officers.&nbsp; However, no options have ever been granted to
Thomas J. Shaw, the Company&#146;s President and CEO.</font></p>

proposal includes information relating to the expected expense of such grants
to be recognized by us, the approximate number of options to be issued, the
number of options currently outstanding, the employees to be included, the
amount of stock currently outstanding, and the method under which the options
would be awarded.&nbsp; If the proposal is approved by the Compensation and
Benefits Committee, the proposal is submitted to the Board of Directors.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Once the dollar amount of options to be granted is
approved, Management begins determining the aggregate number of shares
underlying options that can be granted under such approval (based on the fair
value of an option for the purchase of one underlying share). Factors included
in the determination of the value of an option grant for the purchase of one
share include current market price of the Company&#146;s stock, the proposed
exercise price, the proposed expiration date, the volatility of the Company&#146;s
stock, and the risk free rate. We may retain an independent outside consultant
to determine such value.&nbsp; In the past we have utilized the Black-Scholes
model; but other methods, such as the binomial method, may be used in the
future as more appropriate methods are developed.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Options to executive officers are approved by the
Compensation and Benefits Committee and then the Board of Directors
individually and without regard to a formula.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">With regard to past grants, after the aggregate number
of shares underlying the options to be granted has been determined, we allocate
the options to our various departments based on their annual compensation times
their performance rating.&nbsp; The individual employee&#146;s allocation factor is
the numerator of a fraction.&nbsp; The denominator is the department&#146;s sum of
all factors (annual compensation times performance ratings of all the eligible
employees).&nbsp; The resulting fraction is multiplied by the stock options, to
be awarded to determine the employee&#146;s individual portion of the aggregate
approved options.&#160; Future grants may be
based on the value of contributions to the Company and not necessarily pursuant
to any formula.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The allocation may be further reviewed by each
department&#146;s management if they believe certain employees were not awarded an
appropriate number of options, which Management will consider.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Each stock option grant to employees allows the
employee to acquire shares of Common Stock at a fixed price per share (never
less than the closing stock price of the Common Stock on the date of grant) for
a fixed period (usually ten years).&nbsp; With regard to past grants, each
option generally became exercisable after three years, contingent upon the employee&#146;s
continued employment with us.&nbsp; Accordingly, the stock option grant will
provide a return to the employee only if the employee remains employed by us
during the vesting period, and then only if the market price of the underlying
Common Stock appreciates.&nbsp;&nbsp;Future grants may vest over a shorter or
longer period.</font></p>

of our long-term compensation consists of non-cash compensation in the form of
stock options.&nbsp; We believe that the granting of stock options incentivizes
executives to maximize our long-term strengths as well as our stock
price.&nbsp; However, because we are operating in a monopolistic environment
and our stock price has little relationship with our performance, the most
significant component of compensation is base salary and not stock
options.&nbsp; Management is incented to maximize shareholder value and will be
rewarded if they do so.&nbsp; However, a significant base salary enables us to
retain this competent Management despite the current inability to provide
valuable equity incentives.</font></p>

options that (although the options could be exercised) the underlying shares

We Consider in Determining to Change Compensation Materially</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; We
consider our cash position, current liquidity trends, and the short-term and
long-term needs for cash reserves (especially in light of the hostile
environment in which we operate) when evaluating whether we can change
compensation materially at a given time.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On an individual-by-individual basis, we also consider
the value of past option compensation, the competitiveness of that individual&#146;s
base salary, and their individual contribution to our goals.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">How
Amounts Realized from Past Compensation Affect Other Elements of Compensation</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We are very aware that the vast majority of options
granted to our executives are significantly out of the money and that they may
remain so until we are able to obtain real access to the market.&nbsp;
Accordingly, future compensation will likely continue to be dominated by base
salary as well as periodic bonuses when possible.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">The
Impact of the Accounting and Tax Treatments of Our Types of Compensation</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Stock options granted to executives and other
employees are expensed for accounting purposes under FAS 123(R). We expense all
of our option costs as we do the costs of salaries and bonuses.&nbsp;
Accordingly, the impact of tax treatment of various compensation forms does not
impact our compensation decisions. Stock option expense is not recognized for
tax purposes, except in the case of non-qualified stock options.&nbsp; For
non-qualified stock options, the intrinsic value of the option is recognized
when the option is exercised.</font></p>

under our&#160; benefit plans for reasons set

bonus as bonuses are authorized only periodically and there is currently no
authorized bonus program.&nbsp; Furthermore, Mr.&nbsp;Shaw has never been given
a bonus.&nbsp; In addition, this value assumes that the triggering event
occurred on December&nbsp;31, 2007.&nbsp; Authorized payments under the
Employment Agreement are also capped to one dollar less than the amount that
would cause Mr.&nbsp;Shaw to be the recipient of a parachute payment under Section&nbsp;280G(b)&nbsp;of

Participants, or to then Participants, or to a greater or lesser number of
Participants, and may include or exclude previous Participants, as the Administrator
shall determine in its sole discretion. Except as required by this Plan, Stock
Options granted at different times need not contain similar provisions. The
Administrator&#146;s determinations under the Plan (including without limitation,
determinations of the Participants to receive awards, the form, amount and

its meetings and report the same to the Board of Directors when required.&#160; At meetings of any committee, a majority of
the members of that committee constitutes a quorum for the transaction of

which a quorum is present will be the act of the committee, except as otherwise
specifically provided by statute, the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or
