      Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

         Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the
Company's executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own
more than ten percent (10%) of a registered class of the Company's equity
securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the Nasdaq National Market System. In
addition, under Section 16(a), trusts for which a reporting person is a trustee
and a beneficiary (or for which a member of his immediate family is a
beneficiary) may have a separate reporting obligation with regard to ownership
of the Common Stock and other equity securities of the Company. Such reporting
persons are required by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission to
furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based
solely upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company and
written representations from the Company's executive officers, directors and
greater than ten percent (10%) beneficial stockholders, the Company believes
that during the year ended December 31, 2000, all persons subject to the
reporting requirements of Section 16(a) filed the required reports on a timely
basis, except that a Form 5 was not timely filed for each of Daniel M. Snyder
and Fred Drasner. Mr. Snyder and Mr. Drasner subsequently filed Form 5's to
report the transactions.

                         Executive Employment Contracts

         The Company has entered into employment agreements with each of the
named officers below and on such terms and conditions as are described.



                                       5


         Eran Broshy. On June 14, 1999, Snyder Communications, Inc. retained the
services of Mr. Broshy as President of Snyder Communications, Inc.'s healthcare
group. Under the terms of Mr. Broshy's employment agreement, which was assumed
by the Company in connection with the spin-off from Snyder Communications, Inc.,
he initially received an annual base salary of $425,000. He is also eligible for
an annual bonus award based on certain performance measures, which may not
exceed $125,000.

         Under his employment agreement, the Company granted to Mr. Broshy
503,938 non-qualified options to purchase Common Stock at an exercise price
equal to $7.9375, the closing price of Company Common Stock on the date of the
spin-off. Mr. Broshy's options vest at the rate of 25% per year on each
anniversary of the grant date, provided he is still employed by the Company on
the applicable vesting date. Mr. Broshy's employment agreement also provides for
a grant of an aggregate of $2,500,000 in restricted Common Stock, 20% of which
vested on the distribution date and the remaining 80% vesting in equal
increments over the next four years, provided he is still employed by the
Company on the applicable vesting date. The restricted stock grant provided for
in his employment agreement will prohibit Mr. Broshy from transferring any of
his Common Stock for a period of four years after the distribution date. The
agreement provides that upon a "change in control" of the Company, the vesting
of both the stock options and restricted stock will accelerate so that Mr.
Broshy's options and restricted stock are fully vested. For purposes of his
employment agreement, "change in control" means any sale, transfer or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the
consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company which results in the
Company's stockholders immediately prior to such transaction owning, in the
aggregate, less than a majority of the surviving entity. Furthermore, Mr.
Broshy's employment agreement provides that he may borrow up to $500,000 from
the Company exclusively for the purchase of Common Stock.

         Gregory S. Patrick. In September 1999, the Company retained the
services of Mr. Patrick as Chief Financial Officer. Under the terms of Mr.
Patrick's employment agreement, he initially received an annual base salary of
$250,000. He is also eligible for an annual bonus award based on certain
performance measures, which may not exceed $100,000. Under his employment
agreement, the Company granted to Mr. Patrick non-qualified options to purchase
an aggregate of 251,969 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to
$7.9375, the closing price of Common Stock on the distribution date. Mr.
Patrick's options vest at the rate of 25% per year on each anniversary of the
grant date, provided he is still employed by the Company on the applicable
vesting date. Mr. Patrick's employment agreement also provided for a grant of an
aggregate of $1,000,000 shares in restricted Common Stock, 40% of which vested
on the distribution date, with the remaining 60% vesting in equal increments
over the next four years, provided he is still employed by the Company on the
applicable vesting date. The restricted stock grant provided for in his
employment agreement will prohibit Mr. Patrick from transferring any of his
Common Stock for a period of four years after the distribution date.
Furthermore, Mr. Patrick's employment agreement provides that he may borrow from
the Company an amount necessary to pay any federal and state income taxes
resulting from the restricted stock grant. Subsequent to December 31, 2000, as
announced in a press release on February 15, 2001, Mr. Patrick resigned as the
Company's Chief Financial Officer. As a result, the unvested portion of his
restricted shares (56,692 shares) and unvested stock options (188,976 shares)
were cancelled.

         William C. Pollock. The Company entered into a new employment agreement
with Mr. Pollock dated as of January 1, 2001. Mr. Pollock's initial base salary
under his employment agreement is $300,000. He is also eligible for an annual
bonus award, based on certain performance measures, of zero to sixty percent of
his then current base salary. Under his employment agreement, the Company
granted to Mr. Pollock non-qualified options to purchase an aggregate of 25,000
shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the closing price of a
share of Common Stock on January 29, 2001, the grant date. Under this employment
agreement and previous agreements, the Company has granted Mr. Pollock
non-qualified options to purchase an aggregate of 75,000 shares of Common Stock.
Mr. Pollock's options vest at the rate of 25% per year on each anniversary of
the grant date, provided he is still employed by the Company on the applicable
vesting date. In the event of Mr. Pollock's termination of employment without
cause (as defined in his employment agreement), Mr. Pollock is entitled to a
severance payment equal to one half of his annual base salary. In the event of a


                                       6


change of control (as defined in his employment agreement) of the Company, Mr.
Pollock is entitled to a payment equal to his annual base salary, paid in two

Health Products Research, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, dated October 26,
1998, has expired. The Company expects to enter into a new employment agreement
with Leonard Vicciardo effective as of January 29, 2001. The terms of Mr.

Company has granted Mr. Vicciardo non-qualified options to purchase an aggregate
of 87,000 shares of Common Stock. Mr. Vicciardo's options will vest at the rate

employed by the Company on the applicable vesting date. Under the terms of the
new employment agreement, in the event of Mr. Vicciardo's termination of
employment without cause (as defined in his employment agreement), Mr. Vicciardo
will be entitled to a severance payment equal to the lesser of the continuation
of his base salary for a period of 26 weeks from the termination date or
continuation of his base salary for a period from the termination date until he
obtains new employment. In addition, in the event of a change of control (as
defined in his employment agreement) of the Company, Mr. Vicciardo will be
entitled to a payment equal to his annual base salary, paid in two equal
installments, subject to his continued employment and his not being terminated
for any reason other than without cause.

         Patrick Fourteau. Ventiv Health, Inc. entered into an employment
agreement with Patrick Fourteau on January 24, 2000. Mr. Fourteau's initial base
salary under his employment agreement is $270,000. The Company granted him
options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of
$10.1875 per share, vesting over a four-year period. In the event of Mr.
Fourteau's termination without cause, restrictions on 50% of his vested
restricted shares lapse, and he is entitled to a severance payments of
one-quarter of his annual salary, plus salary until he gains new employment up
to another one-quarter of his annual salary. In the event of a change of control
of the Company, Mr. Fourteau is entitled to a payment equal to his annual base
salary, paid in two installments, subject to his continued employment and his
not being terminated for any reason other than without cause..

         Each of the employment agreements described above contains a
non-competition commitment during the term of employment and for a period of 12
months after termination of employment. Additionally, each employment agreement
contains a non-solicitation provision and provides for assignment by the
employee to his employer of any work products developed by him during the term
of his employment.

                        Compensation Committee Interlocks

         During 2000, the Board of Directors was responsible for the
establishment of the general compensation policies of the Company. Throughout
2000, Eran Broshy, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, also served as a
director of the Company. Mr. Broshy absented himself from all discussions
relating to, and abstained from voting on, resolutions concerning his own
compensation.
