        to

      January 6, 2006, we and Michael D. Centron signed a Letter Agreement outlining
      the basic terms of his employment with OXIS as Vice President and Chief
      Financial Officer. Under the terms of the Letter Agreement, Mr. Centron will
      receive a base salary of $150,000 per year with eligibility for a twenty percent
      performance based annual bonus. In addition, Mr. Centron was granted a ten
      year
      incentive stock option to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock of OXIS at
      an
      exercise price of $0.30 per share. The stock option grant will vest as follows:
      25% vest immediately, 25% vest on January 6, 2007, 25% vest on January 6, 2008
      and 25% vest on January 6, 2009. Mr. Centron will be entitled to receive certain
      severance payments and benefits in the event that OXIS terminates his employment
      without &#8220;cause&#8221;, as defined in the Letter Agreement, if Mr. Centron terminates
      his employment with &#8220;good reason&#8221;, as defined in the Letter Agreement, within

      result of his death or disability (any of the foregoing being a &#8220;Severance
      Termination&#8221;). In the event of a Severance Termination, Mr. Centron will receive
      a payment equal to three months of his then effective base salary. In addition,
      the exercise period for any options vested as the termination date will be
      extended until the later of January 6, 2011 or the third anniversary of the
      termination date, provided however that no exercise of options will be allowed

      Company&#8217;s equity compensation plans are fully described in our Annual Report on
      Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Company maintains the
      2003
      Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), which has been approved by the Company's
      stockholders. The Company&#8217;s 1994 Stock Incentive Plan (the &#8220;1994 Plan&#8221;)
      permitted the Company to grant stock options to acquire shares of the Company&#8217;s
      common stock, award stock bonuses of the Company&#8217;s common stock, and grant stock
      appreciation rights. The 1994 Plan expired on April 30, 2003 and no further
      issuances will occur. Information related to our equity compensation plans
      as of
      December 31, 2005, is set forth below.</font></div>

        the Axonyx Loan, we issued to Axonyx a one-year secured promissory note bearing
        interest at an annual rate of 7%. Under the terms of the Axonyx Loan, OXIS
        promised to pay Axonyx $1.2 million plus accrued interest upon the receipt
        by
        OXIS of at least $2,000,000 in net proceeds from a debt or equity offering.
        The
