EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

employee requires sixty days notice to the Company, which in the case of Mr. 
DiSibio was waived. Mr. DiSibio has signed a six-month consulting agreement 
with the Company.

         REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
                          ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION *

         The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the 
"Committee") is composed of two non-employee directors; Drs. Boyd and 
Lanzara. During the fiscal year 1998 the Committee did not meet and all 
compensation issues were handled by the Board of Directors acting in 
accordance with the Committee's charter. All references herein to the 
Committee shall refer to the Board of Directors for fiscal year 1998. The 
Committee is responsible for setting and administering the policies which 
govern annual executive salaries, bonuses (if any) and stock ownership 
programs. The Committee annually evaluates the performance, and determines 
the compensation, of the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), and other executive 
officers of the Company based upon a mix of the achievement of the corporate 
financial goals, individual performance and comparisons with other technology 
companies. The CEO is not present during the discussions of his compensation.

         The operation of the Committee is subject to the Bylaws of the 
Company, as in effect from time to time, and the Delaware General Corporation 
Law. The Committee has the full power and authority to carry out the 
following responsibilities:

     1.   To establish salaries, incentives and other forms of compensation
          paid to officers and other employees of the company.

     2.   To administer various incentive compensation and benefit plans,
          including the bonus plan.

     3.   To perform such other functions and have other powers as may be
          necessary or convenient in the efficient discharge of the foregoing.

     4.   To report to the Board from time to time, or whenever it shall be
          called upon to do so.

         The policies of the Committee with respect to executive officers, 
including the CEO, are to provide compensation sufficient to attract, 
motivate and retain executives of outstanding ability and potential and to 
establish an appropriate relationship between executive compensation and the 
creation of stockholder value. To meet these goals, the Committee has adopted 
a mix among the compensation elements of salary, bonus and stock options. The 
Committee has determined that the salaries for such officers shall be based 
upon a review of salary surveys of other technology companies performed for 
the Committee. The Committee may further adjust the salaries of such 
executive officers based upon the Company's financial performance during the 
past year and upon each officer's performance against established objectives 
related to his area of responsibility.

         In awarding stock options, the Committee considers a number of 
factors, including such executive officer's responsibilities and relative 
position in the Company, individual performance of such officer, any changes 
in such officer's responsibility and position, such officer's equity interest 
in the Company in the form of stock and options held by such individual, the 
extent to which existing stock options remain unvested and the total number 
of stock options to be awarded. No options were granted in 1998.

         Under the Company's executive bonus plan, executive officers may 
receive a certain percentage of their base salary in bonus payments, based on 
a combination of the Committee's subjective evaluation of the individual's 
performance and advice from the Committee's compensation consultant regarding 
competitive rates. Further, the Committee seeks to balance the desire for 
immediate earnings and the longer term goal of enhancing stockholder value.

COMPENSATION OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
-------------
*        The material in this report is not "soliciting material," is not
deemed "filed" with the SEC, and is not to be incorporated by reference into any
filing of the Company under the 1933 Act or 1934 Act, whether made before or
after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language
contained in such filing.


<PAGE>


         The Committee uses the same procedures described above for the other 
executive officers in setting the annual salary, bonus and stock option 
awards for the CEO. The CEO's salary is determined based on factors such as 
the Company's achievement of corporate goals and comparisons with technology 
companies as described above. In awarding stock options, the Committee 
considers the CEO's performance, the number of unvested options and the total 
number of options to be granted. The CEO's bonus is dependent upon the 
Company achieving the performance goals established by the Committee and the 
Committee's subjective evaluation of the CEO's performance.

         In December 1997, in connection with the Committee's review of Dr. 
Magistri's compensation, the Committee reviewed certain performance measures 
of the Company, primarily success in achieving profitability for the first 
time and increases in stockholder value. In addition, the Committee reviewed 
the CEO compensation of other similar sized technology companies. After this 
review, the Committee increased Dr. Magistri's base salary from $160,000 to

quarter of 1999. The target was met and the bonus was paid in April 1999. No
