7,500 and 3,600 shares, respectively, in 1998.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
The Company has a three-year employment agreement through August 2000 with
Jack Abuhoff, its President and CEO. He is currently paid at the rate of
$240,000 per annum with any bonuses and future increases at the discretion of
the Board of Directors. In addition, each December 31 during the term of the
agreement he will receive 30,999 options to purchase common stock of the
Company at then prevailing market prices. In consideration of the signing of
the agreement he was granted five year options as follows (after repricing in
June 1998): 30,000 options at $1.00 per share; 49,998 at $1.67; 69,999 at
$2.00; 90,000 at $2.33; and 99,999 at $5.17. The options are exercisable upon

President and CEO, expiring September 30, 2000 that provides for a salary of
$75,000 per annum. He will serve as Vice Chairman of the Board and in
executive capacities as designated by the CEO or the Board of Directors.
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON REPRICING OF OPTIONS
The Board believes that stock options are an important component of
executive compensation and has granted stock options each year. These options
usually vest over two or three years and expire after five years. The value of
stock options is directly tied to the value of a share of the Company's common
stock. In view of the accomplishments in the successful restructuring of the
Company in 1997, the early success of the new facility in India, and the large
contract signed with LOIS for $5.4 million, the Board deemed it appropriate to
reward management and employees. While the market price of the Company's
common stock declined, the Company achieved good results. To provide further
incentive to management and employees and to stimulate their efforts on behalf
of the Company, it was determined to reprice existing options. Accordingly, in
June 1998, options outstanding for Mr. Abuhoff and all other officers,
directors and employees were repriced by reducing the exercise prices from
$2.33 - $5.00 to $1.67 - $2.88, while at the same time extending the vesting on
these options to become exercisable on various dates in 1999, notwithstanding
whether any options were already exercisable. The market price at the time of
repricing was $1.67 per share.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
For the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, Messrs. Hertz,
Solomon, Abuhoff and Kaye were officers of the Company and were members of the
Board of Directors (there is no compensation committee). Mr. Hertz is Chairman
and CEO of Track Data Corporation and Mr. Kaye is Chief Financial Officer and a
director of Track Data Corporation. Messrs. Mackof, Fredrikson and Stern are
also directors of Track Data Corporation.
