Employment and Termination Agreements

         The Company has entered into employment  agreements with Messrs. Posey,
Edwards, Sontheimer,  McQueary, and Wagoner to serve in their respective current
positions.  The  agreement  with Mr.  Posey,  which  expires  February 15, 2004,
currently  provides for an annual base salary of $500,000,  plus an annual bonus
based upon the achievement of certain  operating goals. In the event Mr. Posey's
employment is terminated  without cause or there is a "change in control" of the
Company  (as  defined in his  employment  agreement),  Mr.  Posey is entitled to
receive  severance  benefits  equal to the  present  value of 36  months  of his
salary, bonus, and certain other benefits.

         The  employment  agreement  with Mr.  Edwards  automatically  renews in
November  of each  year and  currently  provides  for an annual  base  salary of
$230,000.  In addition,  the agreement with Mr.  Edwards  provides for an annual
bonus based upon the  achievement of certain  operating  goals.  Mr.  McQueary's
agreement  automatically renews in April of each year and currently provides for
an annual base salary of $225,000 and an annual bonus based upon the achievement
of  certain  operating  goals.  Mr.  Sontheimer's  agreement,  which  expires in
December 2000 (subject to certain renewal provisions), currently provides for an
annual base salary of $260,000 and an annual bonus based upon the achievement of
certain operating goals. Dr. Wagoner's agreement, which expires in December 2000
(subject to certain renewal  provisions),  currently provides for an annual base
salary of $200,850  and an annual  bonus based upon the  achievement  of certain
operating goals.  Each of Messrs.  Edwards,  Sontheimer,  McQueary and Wagoner's
contracts  include a provision that in the event of a termination  without cause
or a change in control of the  Company,  the  individual  is entitled to receive
his/her base salary and average bonus through the later of the expiration of the
agreement  or  periods  ranging  from six to  twelve  months,  depending  on the
individual agreement.

Director Compensation

         Members of the Board of Directors receive no cash compensation in their
capacities  as  Directors.  Each Director not employed by the Company is granted
options  annually to purchase  2,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price
equal to the fair market  value of such stock on the date of grant,  exercisable
in annual  increments of 20%. Each such Director who is newly appointed or newly
elected  to the Board of  Directors  will in  addition  be  granted  options  to
purchase  5,000 shares of Common Stock upon the same terms.  All  Directors  are
reimbursed  for  out-of-pocket  expenses  incurred in attending  meetings of the
Board of  Directors or  committees  thereof and for other  expenses  incurred in
their capacity as Directors.

         The Company has  entered  into  five-year  consulting  agreements  with
Messrs.  Ragsdale and Chaney,  providing for annual  compensation of $60,000 and
$36,000, respectively, under which Messrs. Ragsdale and Chaney provide strategic
and  financial  advisory  services  to  the  Company.  Compensation  under  such
agreements  is paid to  Messrs.  Ragsdale  and  Chaney  in their  capacities  as
consultants to the Company and not as Directors.  The Company  believes that the
terms of the arrangements,  which were determined through  negotiation among the
Company's  founders,   are  as  favorable  as  might  have  been  obtained  from
non-affiliated persons.

Compensation Committee Interlocks

         The Company's Compensation Committee is comprised of Messrs. Posey, the
Company's Chief Executive  Officer,  Ragsdale and Chaney.  See "--Employment and
Termination  Agreements,"  "--Director  Compensation"  and  "Item  13 -  Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions."
