(1) Grants under the 1994 Stock Plan. The options generally have a four-year
vesting period. Such options are not transferable other than by will or
the laws of descent and distribution.
(2) In December 1998, the Compensation Committee offered to all current
employees and certain consultants holding outstanding options to
purchase the Common Stock of the Company with an exercise price in
excess of $2.50 per share the opportunity to exchange such options for
new options. Each such new option held by the Executive Officers of the
Company will be on the same terms as the surrendered option (including
vesting and expiration date), except that (i) the new option will be an
option to purchase that number of shares equal to 85% of the number of
shares underlying the

exchanged option, (ii) the exercise price for one-half of the new
options will be $2.00 per share; and the exercise price for the
remaining half of the new options will be $3.00 per share, and (iii)
such new options will not be exercisable, except upon optionee's
involuntary termination, death, or disability or upon the occurrence of
a merger of the Company or a sale of substantially all of the Company's
assets in which such new options are not assumed, for a period of six
months ending June 13, 1999.
(3) Based on an aggregate of 1,816,648 options (including 1,616,929 shares
of exchanged options) granted by the Company in the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1998 to employees of and consultants to the Company,
including Named Executive Officers.
(4) Half of the options exchanged are priced at $2 per share and the other
half are priced at $3 per share. The average exercise price of these
options exchanged is therefore $2.50 per share.
(5) The potential realizable value is calculated based on the term of the
option at its time of grant. It is calculated assuming that the fair
market value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of repricing
appreciates at the indicated rate compounded annually for the entire
term of the option and that the option is exercised and sold on the last
day of its term for the appreciated stock price. On the date of
repricing, the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock was at
$1.375 per share; the average exercise price of the repriced options is
$2.50 per share.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON THE OPTION EXCHANGE PROGRAM
After considering various alternatives to address employee retention and
motivation, the Compensation Committee approved the Option Exchange Program in
December 1998. Pursuant to the Option Exchange Program, all current employees
including the Executive Officers and certain consultants holding outstanding
options to purchase the Common Stock of the Company with an exercise price in
excess of $2.50 per share were offered the opportunity to exchange such options
for new non-statutory and/or incentive stock options. The exercise price for
one-half of the new options will be $2.00 per share, and the exercise price for
the remaining half of the new options will be $3.00 per share, both of which
were above the then current market price on the date of regrant of $1.375 per
share. All new stock options issued pursuant to the Option Exchange Program were
issued under the 1994 Stock Plan. Each such new option will be on the same terms
as the surrendered option (including number of shares, vesting and expiration
date) except, in the case of Executive Officers, the number of shares underlying
the new option is reduced by 15%. All optionees receiving new options in the
Option Exchange Program were required to agree not to exercise their new
options, except upon optionee's involuntary termination, death, or disability or
upon the occurrence of a merger of the Company or a sale of substantially all of
the Company's assets in which such new options are not assumed, for a period of
six months ending June 13, 1999. A total of 1,616,929 shares of stock options
were exchanged in the Option Exchange Program.
Stock options are intended to provide incentives to the Company's
officers, employees and consultants. The Compensation Committee believes that
such equity incentives are a significant factor in the Company's ability to
attract, retain and motivate service providers who are critical to the Company's
long-term success. The disparity between the original exercise prices of the
Company's outstanding stock options and the market price for the Common Stock
did not provide, in the judgment of the Compensation Committee, a meaningful
incentive or retention device to those holding stock options and, therefore, the
Compensation

Committee determined that offering the Option Exchange Program was in the best
interest of the Company and its stockholders.

BOARD COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY
The objectives of the Company's executive compensation program are to
align compensation with business objectives and individual performance, and to
enable the Company to attract, retain and reward executive officers who
contribute to the long-term success of the Company. In seeking to achieve these
objectives the Company's executive compensation is based on the following
principles.
COMPETITIVE AND FAIR COMPENSATION
The Company is committed to providing an executive compensation program
that helps attract and retain highly qualified executives. To ensure that
compensation is competitive, the Company compares its compensation practices
with those of comparable medical products and other relevant companies in a
similar stage of development.
SHORT-TERM CASH COMPENSATION
Cash compensation consists of two components: annual salary and cash
incentive compensation. The annual salaries and cash incentives of the executive
officers are evaluated based upon corporate and individual performance. While
industry-wide practices are deemed to be important indicators of appropriate
compensations levels, the Compensation Committee believes the most important
considerations are individual and corporate performance in setting an
executive's base salary and cash incentive compensation.
Corporate performance is evaluated by reviewing the extent to which
strategic and business planning goals and milestones are met. Individual
performance is evaluated by reviewing attainment of specific individual
objectives and milestones and the degree to which teamwork and Company values
are fostered. Cash incentive compensation is based upon the achievement of
functional, divisional and corporate goals as well as individual performance.
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION
Because not all short-term management accomplishments are directly
related to changes in short-term stockholder value, the Compensation Committee
believes that management should also have a long-term compensation component
related to increasing stockholder value. To assure that executive officers'
goals and accomplishments are linked with increasing stockholder value, the
Compensation Committee believes that the grant of options to purchase the
Company's Common Stock that become exercisable over an extended period of time
should be an integral part of the overall compensation philosophy.
COMPENSATION PROGRAM COMPONENTS
Annual compensation for the Company's executive officers currently
consists of three elements: salary, cash incentive compensation and equity
participation. Executive officers are also entitled to participate in the same
benefit plans available to other employees.
On an annual basis, goals for Company performance and individual goals
and objectives for each of the Company's executive officers (including the Chief
Executive Officer) are established by the Compensation Committee. Once a year,
all executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer are evaluated by
the Chief Executive Officer on their performance with respect to their
individual goals and objectives. At that time, revised goals and objectives are
established, if appropriate. Based upon their performance relative to their
goals and
11
<PAGE> 12
objectives, the base salary of executive officers other than the Chief Executive
Officer generally is adjusted once per year by the Compensation Committee.
On an annual basis, the Compensation Committee evaluates the achievement
of the annual goals and objectives established for the Chief Executive Officer
and his contribution to the Company.
Stock option awards are designed to promote the identity of long-term
interests between the Company's employees and its stockholders and assist in the
retention of executives. The size of option grants is generally intended by the
Compensation Committee to reflect the executive's position with the Company and
his or her actual or potential contributions to the Company in relation to his
or her overall compensation. The Compensation Committee believes that stock
options have been and remain an excellent vehicle for compensating its
employees. Because the option exercise price of the employee is generally the
fair market value of the stock on the date of grant, employees recognize a gain
only if the value of the stock increases. Thus, employees with stock options are
rewarded for their efforts to improve the long-term value of the Common Stock.
Stock options, moreover, have been used to reward a significant portion of the
employees of the Company, not just at the executive officer level.
1998 COMPENSATION FOR THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
The amount and means of determining Dr. Spraker's base annual salary for
1998 was fixed by the terms of his employment agreement with the Company. Dr.
Spraker was appointed as President and CEO in May 1997. His employment agreement
provided for an annual base salary of $240,000, subject to yearly review, and
such incentive bonus payments as the Compensation Committee may from time to
time determine.
In February 1999, the Company paid a cash bonus of $101,100 to its Chief
Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee intended for this bonus to
represent compensation for such officer's contributions to the development and
achievements of the Company through December 31, 1998.
The objectives achieved by the Company which the Compensation Committee
determined to be significant in determining Dr. Spraker's 1998 salary and cash
incentive payment included clinical trial and regulatory progress of the
Company's On-Command products, corporate financial performance for fiscal 1998
and certain other items. The Compensation Committee expects that it will
continue to review the CEO's salary on an annual basis and will adjust his
compensation based upon the achievement of goals and objectives set for the
Company.
COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 162(m)
The Compensation Committee has not yet adopted a policy on the 1993
amendment to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
disallowing deduction on compensation in excess of $1 million for certain
executives of public companies. The Company believes that options granted under
the 1994 Stock Plan are exempt from the limitation, and other compensation
expected to be paid during fiscal year 1999 is below the compensation
limitation.
