Effective January 11, 2011 (the "Separation Date"), Philip S.

In connection with Mr. Forte's departure from the Company, the Company entered into a Separation of Employment Agreement and General Release (the "Separation Agreement") dated January 14, 2011 with Mr. Forte. The Separation Agreement provides that the Company shall pay Mr. Forte $125,000 as a separation payment, with such amount to be paid ratably over a 6 month period on each regular payroll payment date during such period.


Also, in the Separation Agreement, Mr. Forte agreed to provide the Company with a general release, and Mr. Forte agreed to certain restrictive covenants, and reconfirmed his agreement to the confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation covenants set forth in his employment agreement with the Company, after the Separation Date.


The description of the material terms of the Separation Agreement above is subject to the full terms and conditions of the Separation Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.


Joyce Erony, age 50, has served as the Chairwoman of the Company’s Board of Directors since March 2009. Ms. Erony currently serves as a Managing Director of Signet Healthcare Partners. Prior to joining Signet, Ms. Erony spent more than 13 years (1991-2004) at Salomon Brothers Inc., Salomon Smith Barney, Inc. and ultimately Citigroup, which acquired the former companies, most recently as Managing Director responsible for Citigroup’s activities in Specialty Pharmaceuticals.
