  (1) Established based on determination that 2010 corporate goals had been achieved at a level of 130%. The cash incentive award payment to Tuan Ha-Ngoc is based solely on the achievement of the Company’s corporate goals.
  (2) Established based on determination that 2010 corporate goals had been achieved at a level of 130% and individual goals had been achieved at a level of 120%.
  (3) Established based on determination that 2010 corporate goals had been achieved at a level of 130% and individual goals had been achieved at a level of 110%.
  (4) Established based on determination that 2010 corporate goals had been achieved at a level of 130% and individual goals had been achieved at a level of 100%.


  (5) The 2010 annual cash incentive award for Mr. Bailey has been pro-rated to reflect the date of commencement of his employment, which was September 13, 2010.

The Annual Cash Incentive Plan is designed to reward the Company’s executive officers upon the achievement of specified annual corporate and individual goals previously approved by the Independent Board Members and Compensation Committee. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Compensation Committee determined that the 2010 corporate goals had been achieved at a level of 130% of target. Upon recommendation by the Compensation Committee, the Independent Board Members used their discretion to approve the 2010 Annual Cash Incentive Plan awards at the recommended levels. In addition, in further recognition of corporate and individual performance, the Independent Board Members also approved the separate special one-time recognition bonuses described above.

 

2. Established 2011 annual base salaries and 2011 target annual cash incentive award levels (expressed as a percentage of each executive’s 2011 annual base salary), as set forth below:

 

Name

William Slichenmyer, Chief Medical Officer

   $ 363,060         40

Michael Bailey, Chief Commercial Officer

   $ 319,253         30

Although they have determined the target annual cash incentive award levels for each executive officer named above, the Compensation Committee and Independent Board Members have not yet determined the corporate and individual goals for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. The Company will report such goals in a future filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission once they are so determined. After the end of the 2011 fiscal year, the Compensation Committee and the Independent Board Members will evaluate the performance of the Company and each executive officer against such goals and will determine the annual cash incentive awards, if any, to be granted.

Additional information regarding the compensation of our executive officers will be included in our proxy statement to be filed in connection with our 2011 annual meeting of stockholders.
