(1) Dr. Cha entered into a new employment agreement with us effective February 1, 2006 and the salary shown was effective from that date.

2. Overseas Benefits Agreement with Dr. David Fyfe

The Company has noted that Dr. David Fyfe’s Employment Agreement was amended in August 2004 to change its expiration date from August 2005 to August 2007. Dr. Fyfe’s Overseas Benefits Agreement covers his assignment to the United Kingdom and this agreement terminates three months after the Company notifies Dr. Fyfe that his assignment to the United Kingdom is terminated. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding the provision in the Overseas Benefits Agreement for that agreement to expire in August 2005, the Company has confirmed to Dr. Fyfe that, as was the intention of both Dr. Fyfe and the Company in August 2004, the Overseas Benefits Agreement was extended to be coterminous with his Employment Agreement at that time.
