In November 1989, the Board formed an Audit Committee which was

employees, and to administer the Company's stock option plans. Messrs. Carl
Kaplan, David Tendler and Dan Tolkowsky are the current members of the
Compensation and Stock Option Committee. During the fiscal year ended December

Directors held six meetings. Each director attended at least 75% of the
meetings of the Board of Directors held when he or she was a director and of
all committees of the Board of Directors on which he or she served.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

The Company's non-employee directors are paid $10,000 annually
in shares of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to the Company's Stock
Compensation Plan for Outside Directors and $15,000 per annum in cash, payable
quarterly. In addition, non-employee members of the Executive Committee are paid
$5,000 per annum in cash, payable quarterly, and non-employee members of the
Audit Committee and the Compensation and Stock Option Committee receive $1,000
for each committee meeting attended if not held on the same day as a meeting of
the Board of Directors. All directors are reimbursed for their expenses in
connection with attending meetings of the Company's Board. In addition, the
Company pays each director who attends the Company's research and development
meetings a fee of $1,500 per day. Upon becoming a director of the Company,
non-employee directors also receive a one time grant of options to purchase
20,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to the Company's 1992 Stock
Option Plan for Outside Directors. In addition, each non-employee director
receives an option to purchase 7,500 shares of Common Stock each year upon
re-election as a director pursuant to the Company's Stock Option Plan for
Non-Employee Directors.

STOCK OPTION PLAN FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS. Pursuant to the
Company's 1997 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "1997 Directors
Option Plan"), each non-employee director will receive an option to purchase
7,500 shares of Common Stock each year upon re-election as a director. The
option exercise price per share of Common Stock will be the Fair Market Value
(as defined in the 1997 Directors Option Plan) of the Common Stock subject to
the option on the date that the option is granted. Options granted under the
1997 Directors Option Plan have a term of ten years from the date the option is
granted, subject to earlier termination upon such person ceasing to be a
director. A total of 500,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for
issuance under the 1997 Directors Option Plan.

In general, options become exercisable in four equal
installments on the six month and first, second and third anniversaries of the
date of grant. In the event a director ceases to be

a director of the Company for any reason, such person may exercise the option,
to the extent exercisable at the time he or she ceases to be a director of the
Company, within six months after the date he or she ceases to be a director of
the Company (one year if he or she ceases to be a director of the Company by
reason of death). Options may not be transferred during the lifetime of an
optionee. The 1997 Directors Option Plan provides that the options will become
immediately exercisable in full upon a "Change in Control" (as defined in the
1997 Directors Option Plan) of the Company.

Pursuant to the 1997 Directors Option Plan, on June 9, 1999,
Messrs. Conrad, Kaplan, Rosenfield, Tendler, Tolkowsky and Weissbach and Ms.
Wattleton, who were re-elected directors of the Company at the 1999 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders, each received an option to purchase 7,500 shares of the
Company's Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $7.40625.

STOCK OPTION PLAN FOR OUTSIDE DIRECTORS. Pursuant to the
Company's 1992 Stock Option Plan for Outside Directors (the "1992 Directors
Plan"), each person who is neither an officer nor employee of the Company or its
subsidiaries and who is elected or appointed a director of the Company (the "New
Director") automatically receives on the date of his initial election or
appointment to the Company's Board (the "Grant Date") an option to purchase
20,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Option") at a per share
exercise price equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the 1992 Directors
Plan) of the Company's Common Stock on the Grant Date.

Options issued under the 1992 Directors Plan may be exercised
as to 5,000 shares on the date which is six months and one day after the Grant
Date and an additional 5,000 shares on each of the three successive
anniversaries of the Grant Date. In the event that a New Director ceases to be a
director of the Company, such person may exercise any portion of the Option that
is exercisable by him at the time he ceases to be a director of the Company, but
only to the extent such Option is exercisable as of such date, within six months
after the date he ceases to be a director of the Company. However, in the event
a "Change of Control of the Corporation" (as defined in the 1992 Directors Plan)
shall occur, all options granted under the 1992 Directors Plan which are
outstanding at the time a Change of Control of the Corporation occurs shall
immediately become exercisable. Options granted under the 1992 Directors Plan
have a term of ten years from the Grant Date and are not "incentive stock
options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code").

Mr. Herbert J. Conrad, who was elected a director of the
Company on October 14, 1993, was automatically granted an Option at a per share
price of $5.8125. Mr. David Tendler and Mr. Virgil Thompson, who were elected as
directors of the Company on June 2, 1994, were each automatically granted an
Option at a per share exercise price of $2.9375. Ms. Wattleton and Messrs.
Rosenfield and Weissbach, who were elected directors of the Company on June 18,
1997, were each automatically granted an Option at a per share exercise price of
$13.9375. Mr. Carl E. Kaplan, who was elected a director of the Company on June
17, 1998, was automatically granted an Option at a per share price of $7.91.

STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN FOR OUTSIDE DIRECTORS. Pursuant to the
Company's Compensation Plan for Outside Directors (the "Compensation Plan"),
each director of the Company

who is neither an officer nor employee of the Company or its subsidiaries (an
"Outside Director") is awarded automatically, in lieu of cash compensation for
services as a director, on the last business day of each full fiscal quarter
subsequent to his election or appointment as an Outside Director, such number of
shares of the Company's Common Stock as has an aggregate Fair Market Value (as
defined in the Compensation Plan) equal to $2,500, based on the price of the
Company's Common Stock on the date of issue (the "Shares"). The Compensation
Plan provides that each Outside Director will be awarded Shares until such time
as he is no longer an Outside Director. If an Outside Director ceases to be an
Outside Director for any reason, the number of Shares which he will be awarded
on the last business day of the Company's next fiscal quarter will be equal to
one-third of the number of Shares which he would have been awarded on such date
for each complete month that he was an Outside Director in the fiscal quarter in
which he ceased to be an Outside Director.

The Compensation Plan allows any Outside Director to defer the
issuance and delivery of the Company's Common Stock awarded under the
Compensation Plan until the termination of his services on the Company's Board
or such other time as the Company's Board may determine. The Company entered
into a deferral agreement with Virgil Thompson in June 1994 and Herbert
Weissbach in June 1997 (the "Deferral Agreements") pursuant to which the
issuance and delivery of the Company's Common Stock to be awarded to each of Mr.
Thompson and Mr. Weissbach under the Compensation Plan has been deferred until
after the date he ceases to be a member of the Company's Board; provided,
however, that any shares of the Company's Common Stock, the issuance of which
was deferred, will be issued to Mr. Thompson and Mr. Weissbach at the time of a
change in ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in ownership
of a substantial portion of the Company's assets, as defined in the Code, except
that in determining whether there is a change in effective control by reason of
a stock acquisition, there must be an acquisition of stock possessing at least
40% (as opposed to the 20% requirement set forth in the Code) of the total
voting power of the Company's Common Stock. As a result of Mr. Thompson's
appointment as President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company in May 1999,
Mr. Thompson is no longer eligible, whether by deferral or otherwise, to receive
any future awards of shares of the Company's Common Stock issued under the
Compensation Plan other than those shares already accumulated pursuant to the
terms of his Deferral Agreement.

During the 1999 fiscal year, each Outside Director eligible to
receive shares under the Compensation Plan received 418 shares of the Company's
Common Stock on March 31, 1999, 384 shares of the Company's Common Stock on June
30, 1999, 260 shares of the Company's Common Stock on September 30, 1999 and 163
shares of the Company's Common Stock on December 31, 1999. On March 31, 1999,
June 30, 1999, September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1999, the Fair Market Value
of the Company's Common Stock was $5.96875, $6.50, $9.59375 and $15.25,
respectively. Each of Messrs. Herbert Conrad, Carl Kaplan, Allan Rosenfield,
David Tendler and Dan Tolkowsky and Ms. Faye Wattleton received an aggregate of
1,225 shares of the Company's Common Stock under the Compensation Plan for their
services as director during the 1999 fiscal year. On March 31, 2000, each of Ms.
Wattleton and Messrs. Conrad, Kaplan, Rosenfield, Tendler and Tolkowsky received
161 shares of the Company's Common Stock under the Compensation Plan.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"), requires the Company's executive officers and directors,
as well as persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of the
Company's Common Stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of
changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater
than ten percent beneficial owners are required by the SEC to furnish the
Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the
Company and written representations from the Company's executive officers and
directors, the Company believes that during fiscal 1999 all Section 16(a) filing
requirements applicable to its executive officers, directors and greater than
ten percent beneficial owners were complied with, except Faye Wattleton failed
to file two Forms 4 on a timely basis and each of Marian Gorecki, Norman Barton
and Eli Admoni (who served as an executive officer from May 1999 through
November 1999) failed to file one Form 4 on a timely basis.

(1) Options generally vest in four equal annual installments commencing on
the first anniversary date of the grant; however, options granted under
the Company's 1992 Stock Option Plan and certain other options become
immediately exercisable upon a change in control of the Company. In
addition, the options having an exercise price of $5.938 per share vest
on April 1, 2001.

(2) Based upon options to purchase 2,699,500 shares granted to all
employees in 1999.

(3) These amounts represent assumed rates of appreciation in the price of
the Company's Common Stock during the terms of the options in
accordance with rates specified in applicable federal securities
regulations. Actual gains, if any, on stock option exercises will
depend on the future price of the Common Stock and overall stock market
conditions. The 5% rate of appreciation over the 10-year option term of
each of the $5.938 stock price, the $7.250 stock price and the $7.406
stock price on each date of grant would result in a stock price of
$9.67, $11.81 and $12.06, respectively. The 10% rate of appreciation
over the 10-year option term of each of the $5.938 stock price, the
$7.250 stock price and the $7.406 stock price on each date of grant
would result in a stock price of $15.40, $18.80 and $19.21,
respectively. There is no representation that the rates of appreciation
reflected in this table will be achieved.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

The Company and Sim Fass entered into an employment agreement dated as
of January 1, 1990 (the "Fass Agreement") pursuant to which Dr. Fass has served
as President (through May 3, 1999) and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
At January 1, 2000, the Fass Agreement was automatically renewed for another two
year period, and will automatically be renewed for successive two year periods
thereafter unless either party gives the other notice of nonrenewal. The Fass
Agreement also provides that the Company will nominate Dr. Fass for election as
a director during all periods when he serves as President and/or Chief Executive
Officer of the Company. For his services, Dr. Fass is currently entitled to an
annual salary of $385,000, with bonuses to be determined at the discretion of
the Company's Board. In the event Dr. Fass' employment is terminated by the
Company at any time for any reason other than justifiable cause, disability or
death, or the Company shall fail to renew the Fass Agreement at any time within
two years following a "Change in Control of the Company," the Company shall pay
Dr. Fass, for a period equal to the longer of (1) the remaining term of the Fass
Agreement or (2) one year (such period being hereinafter referred to as the
"Fass Severance Period") a monthly payment equal to the sum of (a) 1/12 of Dr.
Fass' salary at the time of such termination and (b) 1/12 of Dr. Fass' most
recently declared bonus, which amount shall be in lieu of any and all other
payments due and owing to Dr. Fass under the terms of the Fass Agreement. During
the Fass Severance Period, the Company shall continue to provide Dr. Fass with
health, life and disability insurance. In the event the Company elects not to
renew the Fass Agreement other than within two years following a "Change in
Control of the Company," the Company is obligated to pay Dr. Fass a severance
payment equal to the sum

of one month's salary plus 1/12 of his most recently declared bonus for each
year Dr. Fass has been employed by the Company.

Pursuant to the Fass Agreement, all options granted or to be granted to
Dr. Fass under any Company stock option plan shall become immediately
exercisable and all restrictions against disposition, if any, which have not
otherwise lapsed shall immediately lapse if (i) Dr. Fass' employment with the
Company is terminated upon a determination by the Company's Board that the
performance of his duties has not been fully satisfactory for any reason that
would not constitute "justifiable cause" (as defined in the Fass Agreement),
(ii) Dr. Fass dies or is disabled (as defined in the Fass Agreement) while
employed by the Company, (iii) Dr. Fass is not nominated by the Company for
