SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company's officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company's equity securities to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission reports of securities ownership on Form 3 and changes in such ownership on Forms 4 and 5. Officers, directors and more than ten percent beneficial owners also are required by rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission to furnish the Company with copies of all such Section 16(a) reports that they file. Based solely upon a review of the copies of Forms 3, 4, and 5 furnished to the Company and representations by certain executive officers and directors that no such reports were required for them, the Company believes that, during 2002, all of its directors, officers and more-than-ten-percent beneficial owners filed all such reports on a timely basis.

Director Compensation
Non-employee directors do not receive an annual retainer or any other fees for their service as directors. Under the Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan (the "1998 Director Option Plan"), each non-employee director, upon initial election or appointment to serve on the Board of Directors, receives a grant of an option to purchase 1,500 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price per share of 100% of the fair market value of a share on the date of the grant. Of the 1,500 shares of Common Stock subject to such an option, the option becomes exercisable with respect to: (1) 500 shares on the day prior to the first anniversary of the date of the grant and (2) 125 shares on the last day of each of the eight calendar quarters commencing on the last day of the calendar quarter ending on or after the
6
first anniversary of the date of the grant. Each option has a term of ten years beginning on the date of the grant.
In addition, the 1998 Director Option Plan provides for each non-employee director, immediately following each annual meeting of stockholders of the Company, to be granted an option to purchase 450 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price per share of 100% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of the grant. Of the 450 shares of Common Stock subject to such an option, the option becomes exercisable with respect to 113 shares on the last day of each of the four calendar quarters beginning with the calendar quarter ending on or after the date of the grant. Each option has a term of ten years beginning on the date of the grant. Each of the non-employee directors, Messrs. Baumel, Chisholm, Drislane, Gerdes (who resigned on September 16, 2002) and Rich, received an option to purchase 450 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $4.64 per share, following the Company's Annual Meeting on May 31, 2002. On August 23, 2002, Messrs. Chisholm, Drislane, Gerdes and Rich each received an option to purchase 1,250 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $5.60 per share.
Employment and Severance Agreements
Mr. Baum became the Chief Financial Officer of the Company pursuant to an agreement dated July 15, 1999 among the Company, Mr. Baum, and Tatum CFO Partners, LLP ("Tatum"). Tatum, of which Mr. Baum was a partner until March 16, 2002, furnishes chief financial officers to businesses. The agreement, which by its terms was terminable by any of the parties on 30 days notice, provided that the Company paid Mr. Baum, as an officer and employee of the Company, a monthly salary of $15,833.33, and paid Tatum monthly fees of $3,166.67, for making certain of its resources available to Mr. Baum in his performance of his services to the Company. Under the agreement, the Company also granted options on 12,500 shares of Common Stock to Mr. Baum and options on 4,167 shares of Common Stock to Tatum, each with an exercise price of $6.66 per share and vesting as the stock price rises. The vesting is 25% at $72, 25% at $96 and 50% at $120. The agreement provided for semi-annual bonuses to Mr. Baum (who receives 75% of any such bonus) and Tatum (which receives 25% of any such bonus) based on Mr. Baum's performance, and also provided for certain Company indemnification of Tatum. The agreement with Tatum was terminated on April 15, 2002, after notice of the termination was given on March 16, 2002.
Mr. Baum has entered into an Executive Severance Agreement with the Company, dated October 4, 2000, which provides for a severance payment if a change of control of the Company occurs and, within 12 months thereafter, either Mr. Baum's employment is terminated without cause or he resigns due to a demotion or other new and onerous requirement being placed on him. Under the Agreement, the severance payment is equal to one year's salary (based on the highest monthly salary earned by Mr. Baum during the 12 months preceding his termination) plus a bonus equal to the fraction of the calendar year worked up to the termination multiplied by the bonus paid to him in the prior calendar year. Under certain circumstances, the Agreement also provides medical insurance subsidies for a period of 12 months and indemnification. Under the Agreement, Mr. Baum agrees to hold the Company's proprietary information confidential and, for a period of 12 months following his termination, cooperate with the Company with respect to corporate administrative affairs arising during his employment. If his termination results in payment of the Agreement's severance benefits, he will be subject to a non-competition agreement for a period of one year following his termination. When used in the foregoing summary the terms "cause," "change of control" and "demotion" have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.

2001 Stock Incentive Plan
During 2001, The Company's Board of Directors adopted the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2001Plan"), which provides for the granting of stock options and other incentive awards to employees and consultants. The total number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2001 Plan is 62,500. The purpose of the 2001 Plan is to attract and retain employees and consultants and to provide these persons with incentives and rewards for superior performance. Any of the Company's employees or consultants, except its directors and officers and persons who have agreed to serve as one of its directors or officers, may receive awards issued under the 2001 Plan. Under the 2001 Plan, the Company may grant (1) option rights at option prices less than, equal to, or greater than, the market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant and (2) restricted shares and deferred shares, in each case without additional consideration from the participant or for consideration in an amount less than, equal to, or greater than, the market value of the shares on the dated of grant. The Company may also grant replacement option rights (i.e., option rights awarded in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of an option to purchase shares of another corporation that has been acquired by the Company) subject to the same terms, conditions and discretion as option rights under the 2001 Plan. No options or other incentive awards have been granted under the 2001 Plan, and the Company has no current intention of making awards under the 2001 Plan.
