Shaw to serve in this dual role as CEO and Chairman.&#160; This structure fosters an important unity of leadership between the Board and the Company and enables the Board to organize its functions and conduct its business in the most efficient and effective manner.&#160; As founder of the Company and primary inventor of our products, Thomas J.

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">To achieve these objectives, the Compensation and Benefits Committee has approved an executive officer compensation program that consists of four basic components:</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 choose to pay a significant component of our compensation in base salary due to the fact that our financial performance is constrained by the anticompetitive activities of Becton, Dickinson and Company (&#147;BD&#148;).&#160; 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 incentive compensation.</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;">Executive compensation remains the same until there is a review of such compensation by the Compensation and Benefits Committee.&#160; Compensation, other than that of the Chief Executive Officer, has generally not been reviewed annually.&#160; Under the terms of Mr.&nbsp;Shaw&#146;s employment agreement, his compensation is reviewed annually.</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 base salary for each of our executive officers is subjectively determined primarily on the basis of the following factors: 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.&#160; However, salaries can also be affected by our long-term needs.</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;">These base salaries are reviewed periodically and may be adjusted based upon the factors discussed in the previous paragraph, 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.&#160; 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>
<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;">Executive officer salaries were cut by 10% in 2009, then restored in 2013.&#160; Another 10% reduction occurred in July&nbsp;2014, but the salaries were generally restored in January&nbsp;2015.&#160; Executive officers were generally given a one-time payment in December&nbsp;2014 to offset the 2014 reductions.&#160; However, Steven R. Wisner&#146;s salary was reduced in 2014 by 25% and was not restored and he did not receive an offsetting payment.&#160; Mr.&nbsp;Wisner resigned on May&nbsp;29, 2015, and was granted a one-time payment in connection therewith.</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;">If stock options are to be issued, Management prepares a proposal to the Compensation and Benefits Committee.&#160; Considerations by Management in its initial proposal in determining a suitable aggregate fair market value of options to be granted include our financial condition, the number of options already outstanding, and the benefit to the non-officer employees.&#160; The 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.</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;">Once the dollar amount of options to be granted is approved by the Compensation and Benefits Committee, 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).&#160; 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.&#160; We may retain an independent outside consultant to determine such value.&#160; In the past we have utilized the Black-Scholes model as well as the binomial model, but we may use other methods in the future as more appropriate methods are developed.</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;">Management provides the Compensation and Benefits Committee with a proposal regarding option grants to executive officers.&#160; If the recommendation is acceptable, the committee grants the options.&#160; If the committee feels changes are merited, it grants options on its own terms.</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;">With regard to many past grants, after the aggregate number of shares underlying the options to be granted was determined, we allocated the options to our various departments using a factor based on their annual compensation times their performance rating.&#160; The individual employee&#146;s allocation factor was the numerator of a fraction.&#160; The denominator was the department&#146;s sum of all factors (annual compensation times performance ratings of all the eligible employees).&#160; The resulting fraction was 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;"><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 believed certain employees were not awarded an appropriate number of options.

<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).&#160; With regard to grants prior to 2009, each option generally became exercisable after three years, contingent upon the employee&#146;s continued employment with us.&#160; However, options issued to Officers and Directors pursuant to the 2008 option exchange offer vested immediately for non-employee Directors and after one year for employees (including employee Directors).&#160; Options granted in 2009 and later vested in one year for executive officers and immediately for non-employee Directors.&#160; Accordingly, generally stock option grants 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.&#160; Future grants may vest over a shorter or longer period.</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;">Our Compensation Program is intended to accomplish the following objectives: 1) attract and retain highly talented and productive executive officers; 2) provide incentives and rewards for superior performance by the executive officers; and 3) align the interests of executive officers with the interests of our stockholders.</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;">We pay the bulk of our compensation in the form of cash compensation due to the fact that competing in an anticompetitive environment means that results will not always be commensurate with performance.&#160; We believe that the performance of our executives has been outstanding.&#160; We believe this is especially true given the anticompetitive environment in which we operate.&#160; Bonuses are granted occasionally to recognize extraordinary performance and/or extraordinary job requirements.&#160; We believe this approach and weighting of compensation elements is necessary to retain our executive talent due to the environment in which we operate.</font></p>

An overwhelming majority of the votes cast in 2013 on the say-on-pay proposal were voted in favor of the proposal.&#160; The Compensation and Benefits Committee will continue to take into account the outcome of say-on-pay votes when making compensation decisions for the named executive officers.</font></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;">All of our long-term compensation consists of non-cash compensation in the form of stock options.&#160; We believe that the granting of stock options incentivizes executives to maximize our long-term strengths as well as our stock price.&#160; However, because we are operating in an anticompetitive environment and our stock price has little relationship with our performance, the most significant component of compensation is base salary and not stock options.&#160; Management is incentivized to maximize shareholder value and will be rewarded if they do so.</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;">Generally, option awards to executive officers are granted by the Compensation and Benefits Committee and for others are granted at the discretion of the Board after recommendation of the Compensation and Benefits Committee or on the committee&#146;s own initiative.&#160; No awards are granted if the Compensation and Benefits Committee does not support a recommendation.</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;">Unfortunately, our stock price does not always react as expected to our achievements.&#160; Accordingly, at times, options have been granted to aid in retaining competent and experienced executives without regard to the then current stock price.&#160; However, such options always have exercise prices that are at or above fair market value on the date of grant.</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, there is no relationship between the date of grant of options and our possession of material non-public information (i.e., we grant options without regard to whether or not we are in possession of material non-public information).&#160; Furthermore, it is our policy with regard to options that (although the options could be exercised) the underlying shares could not be sold into the market while the executive was in possession of material non-public information.&#160; Accordingly, we believe that there is minimal risk of the executive profiting from such material nonpublic information.</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;">Cash reserves as well as trends in sales and costs are taken into account when considering the advisability of increasing base salaries or granting cash bonuses.&#160; However, no specific items of corporate performance are taken into account in setting executive compensation due to the fact that we compete in an anticompetitive environment and, therefore, significant achievement or performance is not always correlated with corporate results.&#160; At such times that any of these factors make it inadvisable to increase salaries or grant bonuses, then consideration is given to increasing option awards taking into account the value of prior option awards.</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;">Executive compensation is not based on the individual&#146;s contribution to specific, quantitative corporate objectives due to the fact that we compete an anticompetitive environment.&#160; However, the individual&#146;s contribution to our performance is determined pursuant to qualitative factors as discussed above under &#147;How We Determine the Amount or Formula for Payment in Light of Our Objectives.&#148;</font></p>
