Each of our directors, other than Dr. O’Neill and Mr. Hochman, is independent, as defined under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(c). On June 7, 2006, we entered into a consulting agreement with Orchestra Partners, LLC (“Orchestra Partners”), pursuant to which Orchestra Partners will provide certain investor relations, public relations, corporate finance and other consulting services. Under this agreement, Orchestra Partners was paid $15,000 per month, with a commitment for a minimum of a six-month term, the agreement was terminated in April 2007. Orchestra’s sole member and manager is David Hochman, a director of the Company and a former affiliate of Spencer Trask & Co. Mr. Hochman was paid a total of $150,000 during the term of this consulting agreement.
Under applicable SEC and Nasdaq Rules, the existence of certain “related party” transactions above certain thresholds between a director and the Company are required to be disclosed and preclude a finding by the Board that the director is independent. The Board also has the power to consider whether transactions of those types but below the thresholds render a director not “independent,” and to consider whether any other types of transactions, relationships or arrangements (i.e., not specified in the SEC and NASDAQ rules) render a director not “independent”; however, the Board did not consider any such items in making its independence determination except that it considered the investments by Messrs. Greenacre ($25,000), Hochman ($25,000 plus $37,500 to exercise warrants), and Reilly ($25,000 plus $37,500 to exercise warrants) in our 2006 Private Placement to not deprive those directors of “independent” status.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Under Section 16(a) under the Securities Exchange Act, our directors, executive officers and any persons holding more than 10% of the Common Stock are required to report their initial ownership of Common Stock and any subsequent changes in that ownership to the SEC. Specific due dates for these reports have been established and we are required to identify in this Proxy Statement those persons who failed to timely file these reports. In 2006 all Section 16(a) filing requirements were satisfied except for the following: Michael Green failed to timely file four reports on Form 4 (but filed all three within four weeks and one within seven months); David Hochman failed to timely file four reports on Form 4 (but filed two within one week, one within five weeks, and one within 11 months ); Kevin Kimberlin failed to timely file two reports on Form 4 (but filed each within four weeks of the due date); Peter Lowry failed to timely file three reports on Form 4 (but filed within four weeks); Joseph O’Neill failed to timely file three reports on Form 4 (but filed all within four weeks); Kevin Reilly failed to timely file one report on Form 4 (but filed within one week); Alan Rosenthal failed to timely file one report on Form 4 (but filed within one week); and Georgia Theofan failed to timely file four reports on Form 4 (but filed three within four weeks and one within seven months), pursuant to Section 16(a).
In making this disclosure, we have relied solely on written representations of our directors and executive officers and copies of the reports that have been filed with the SEC.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a code of ethics, which applies to our senior officers and also to all other personnel. We have posted it on our website, www.orchestratherapeutics.com. We will post on our website any amendment to, or waiver from, the code of ethics if it pertains to our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller and is of a kind that Item 5.05 of SEC Form 8-K would require to be disclosed.

Item 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Our Compensation Committee is empowered to review and approve the annual compensation and compensation procedures for our executive officers and annually determines the total compensation level for our President and Chief Executive Officer. The total proposed compensation of our named executive officers is formulated and evaluated by our Chief Executive Officer and submitted to the Compensation Committee for consideration. During 2006 we engaged HRG, Inc. to perform an extensive compensation review of our employees, including the named executive officers. As discussed in Item 7. to our Form 10-K, as of December 31, 2006 our cash on hand was only sufficient to fund our planned operations through the first quarter of 2007. Subsequent to December 31, 2006, we received gross proceeds of approximately $1,067,000 from second tranche warrant exercises through March 30, 2007, the expiration date of the warrants; however we will need to raise additional capital before the second quarter of 2007 ends. Due to the limited funds available, there has been no change in the compensation levels (including payment of 2006 bonuses) of any of our employees, including our named executive officers, since the completion of our consultant’s analysis. In addition, bonuses for the named executive officers for the successful completion of predefined goals and objectives during 2006 or otherwise for meritorious service have not yet been approved by our Board of Directors.
Objectives of Compensation Program
The primary objective of our compensation program, including our executive compensation program, is to attract, motivate and retain talented executives who are enthusiastic about our mission. Specifically, the objectives of our compensation practices are to establish:
    base salary levels which are commensurate with those of comparable positions at other biotechnology companies given the level of seniority and skills possessed by the executive officer and which reflect the individual’s performance with us over time;
 
    annual bonuses generally tied to the achievement of corporate and individual performance objectives, and/or retention bonuses in special cases; and
 
    long-term stock-based incentive awards intended to strengthen the mutuality of interests between the executive officers and our stockholders.
The major compensation elements for our named executive officers are base salary and annual performance-based bonuses, payable in cash for target performance. Base salaries (other than increases), and insurance benefits form stable parts of our named executive officers’ compensation packages that are not dependent on our performance during a particular year. Our performance-based bonus program rewards short-term and long-term performance, while our equity awards, typically in the form of stock options, reward long-term performance and align the interests of management with our stockholders.
Components of Compensation
Base Salary
We establish base salary levels for executive employees by reviewing the aggregate of base salary and annual bonus for executives in equivalent positions with our competitors in the biotechnology industry at a stage of product development comparable to us and at other companies which compete with us for executive talent. Our consultant utilized two national independent surveys of the life-sciences industry (the Culpepper Life Sciences Compensation Survey and the Radford Biotechnology Survey) as well as a peer group of companies selected based on factors including size, employment levels and stage of development. This data was used to provide us with a broad overview of compensation practices and levels in the competitive marketplace. Generally, we strive to set our competitive salary for an executive officer position at the median level compared to the marketplace. The base salary of the CEO and our other named executive officers is reviewed annually, although our pre-2006 employment agreements with Dr. O’Neill and Mr. Green set minimums for their base salary rates.

Table of Contents

Annual Incentive Compensation
Annual cash bonus targets as a percentage of salary for Dr. O’Neill and Mr. Green are set forth in their respective employment agreements. Annual cash bonus targets for all other employees are discretionary. Bonus payments, if any, to our named executive officers are generally based on two principal factors: corporate performance as compared to our annual goals and objectives and individual performance relative to corporate performance and individual goals and objectives. We can, however, choose to award bonuses on criteria other than achievement of objectives.
The achievement of corporate goals by our named executive officers is evaluated by the CEO, and his evaluations submitted to the Compensation and Stock Option Committee for consideration in its decision. Bonus payments for the CEO are evaluated and recommended by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee after its review of the CEO’s achievement of goals. All recommendations are then presented to the Board for decision. The CEO is present for consideration of the bonuses of officers other than himself.
Due to our current cash position, we have not yet approved payment of 2006 bonuses to the named executive officers. Payment of any bonuses will be subject to the availability of cash.
When a company is in financial distress as we are, retention and incentivization of key management personnel is absolutely imperative. We paid Mr. Green a $100,000 stay bonus in 2006 (of which the payment was accelerated in November 2006 due to a personal need of his). We will probably consider this imperative when evaluating possible bonuses to be awarded in 2007, including with regard to 2006.
Stock Option Program
To conserve our cash resources and to align the interests of the named executive officers with the stockholders, we use equity-based incentives to attract, retain and motivate executive officers as well as all other employees. Under our stock option plans, options are granted at the fair market value on the date of grant, and are generally subject to time vesting. Because our stock price has fallen significantly in 2006 and our number of outstanding shares has been diluted significantly, our currently outstanding stock options no longer provide a meaningful incentive. The close price of our common stock on December 31, 2006, $1.68, was significantly below the exercise price of all outstanding stock options. If and when additional grants are made under the 2003 Stock Plan or any future stock option plan, the size of future stock option grants will probably be larger than past grants’ size.
Option grant dates for newly hired executive officers and other eligible employees have typically been the first date of employment. During 2006 there were no stock option grants to our named executive officers, due in part to the Company’s unstable situation and the need to reserve or preserve authorized shares for financing purposes. We believe the failure to do so was a flaw in our 2006 compensation practices and has deprived us of some of the incentivization benefits intended to be provided by the compensation program.
Savings and Investment Plan
The Orchestra Therapeutics, Inc. Savings and Investment Plan is a defined contribution plan that qualifies as a 401(k) plan under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Under the 401(k) plan, we make a discretionary matching contribution to the plan, which may change year to year. Our contributions to the plan are made by us for each of the named executive officers on the same terms as are applicable to all other employees and vest immediately. During 2006 we made matching contributions equal to 100% of each eligible participants’, including named executive officers’, 401(k) deferral contributions.
SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE
The following table sets forth the compensation earned by each of our named executive officers for services provided to us in all capacities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

(1)   The amounts shown include $100,000 retention bonus paid to Mr. Green during 2006. It is anticipated that our Compensation and Stock Option Committee will recommend to our board of directors 2006 bonuses payable to Mr. Green, Dr. Theofan, and Mr. Lowry in the amounts of $155,250, $40,250, and $34,875 respectively. If our Board of Directors approves the recommended bonuses, payment will be subject to the availability of cash. Our Compensation and Stock Option Committee has not yet determined the 2006 bonus for Dr. O’Neill. In accordance with his employment agreement, Dr. O’Neill’s annual target bonus amount is between 100% and 400% of his base salary; subject to the successful completion of predefined goals and objectives.
 
(2)   The amounts shown are the amounts of compensation cost recognized by us for the year ended December 31, 2006 related to the grants of stock options prior to January 1, 2006, as prescribed by FAS No. 123R. For discussion of valuation assumptions, see Note 1 — The Company and its Significant Accounting Policies, to our Notes to Financial Statements.
 
(3)   No discretionary bonus amounts are included. See note 2 above. For 2006, we made matching stock contributions under our 401(k) Plan for Dr. O’Neill, Mr. Green, Dr. Theofan, and Mr. Lowry equal to $15,000, $15,000, $2,012, and $15,000 respectively; representing 5,454, 5,454, 847 and 6,107 shares of common stock, respectively. We also funded a group term life insurance plan in an amount in excess of $50,000. Amounts added to compensation related to this plan for Dr. O’Neill, Mr. Green, Dr. Theofan, and Mr. Lowry were $1,932, $1,290, $973 and $524, respectively. In addition Dr. O’Neill also received $99,996 of relocation pay in 2006.
Severance and Change of Control Agreements
On October 26, 2005, Joseph F. O’Neill entered into an employment letter agreement with us to serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer. The agreement has a renewable three-year term that will be automatically extended for successive and additional two-year periods, unless either party provides written notice of termination to the other at least 90 days prior to the end of the term. Other than our Chief Executive Officer, none of our employees has an employment agreement that provides a specific term of employment with us. Accordingly, the employment of any such employee may be terminated at any time.
Our 2003 Stock Plan provides that in the event of a merger or reorganization, we shall either continue outstanding options granted under the Plan, or shall provide for the exchange of such options for a cash payment equal to the difference between the amount paid for one share under the terms of the merger or reorganization and the exercise price for each option, or shall accelerate the exercisability of each option followed by the cancellation of options not exercised, in all cases without the optionee’s consent. Outstanding employee stock option agreements entered into pursuant to the Plan provide for the automatic vesting of employee stock options in the event of a change in control.

Table of Contents

In addition, our executive officers may receive stock options, not required under any employment agreement, under our 2003 Stock Plan. Like all holders of stock options under the Plan, they can receive advantageous treatment of the stock options if we are acquired or experience a change in control. Also the unvested portion of each of our officers’ stock options under our equity incentive plans becomes fully vested and exercisable if we are acquired and the officer is thereafter terminated without cause, forced to change the principal place of performance of the officer’s responsibilities and duties or placed in a position with a material reduction in the officer’s responsibilities and duties.
In addition to the accelerated vesting of stock options, we provide certain benefits to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer upon certain qualifying terminations and in connection with terminations under certain circumstances following a change in control. The table below sets forth the estimated current value of payments and benefits to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer upon a change of control or a qualifying event. The amounts shown assume that the triggering events occurred on December 31, 2006 and do not include other benefits earned during their term of employment that are available to all salaried employees, such as accrued vacation; or benefits paid by insurance providers under life and disability policies. The actual amounts of payments and benefits that would be provided can only be determined at the time of separation from the Company.
Per SEC rules, the intrinsic value of accelerated unvested stock options shown in the table below was calculated using the closing price of our common stock on December 29, 2006 ($1.68). The intrinsic value is the aggregate spread between $1.68 and the exercise price of the accelerated options, if less than $1.68. The exercise price of the accelerated unvested options shown in the table below was significantly higher than $1.68 and therefore the intrinsic value is $0.

Item 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Promissory Notes and Warrants:
Qubit Secured Promissory Note
On February 9, 2006 we issued to Qubit, which is owned and managed by independent trustees for the benefit of the children of our director and controlling stockholder, Kevin Kimberlin, for $250,000 cash, a secured promissory note with a $250,000 original principal amount convertible into 125,000 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share. The note matures on January 1, 2008 and bears interest at 8% per annum. Qubit also received 375,000 short-term common stock warrants exercisable at $2.00 per share. Qubit exercised a portion of its warrants by paying the exercise price of $250,000 for 125,000 shares of our common stock. The remaining 250,000 warrants expired unexercised.
Cheshire Mortgage Note
On February 8, 2006, we entered into a Note Exchange Agreement and a Note Revision Agreement with Cheshire pertaining to an 8% secured convertible note previously issued by us and held by Cheshire, with a principal balance (before the agreements) of $5,741,000 (the “Mortgage Note”). Under the Note Exchange Agreement, we issued 534,252 shares of newly-issued common stock to Cheshire at $2.00 per share in exchange for $1,006,000 of principal and $63,000 of accrued interest on the Mortgage Note.
Under the Note Revision Agreement, the maturity date of the Mortgage Note was extended from May 31, 2007 to January 1, 2009 and in consideration for that extension we reduced the conversion price of the remaining $4,735,000 principal amount of the Mortgage Note to $2.00 per share of common stock. Accrued interest on the Mortgage Note will also be convertible at $2.00 per share of common stock. Before the Note Exchange Agreement, the conversion price of the Mortgage Note had been $70.00 per share. The difference between conversion of $4,735,000 at $70.00 per share and conversion of $4,735,000 at $2.00 per share is approximately 2,300,000 additional shares of common stock.

Table of Contents

In addition, Cheshire separately agreed in February 2006 to convert a total of another $1,700,000 of principal and accrued interest on the Mortgage Note into 850,000 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share, this took place on April 11, 2006.
2006 Private Placement
In March 2006, we completed a private placement of secured convertible notes and warrants to accredited investors (the “2006 Private Placement”), raising gross proceeds of $8,000,000. We issued notes with an aggregate principal amount of $8,000,000, convertible into an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share. The notes mature on January 1, 2008, bear interest at 8% per annum, and share (with Cheshire, for its previously secured note, and with Qubit for its $250,000 note) a first priority security interest in substantially all of our assets.
In addition, we issued to all of the note holders a total of 12,000,000 warrants to purchase our common stock at $2.00 per share. These warrants were divided into two 6,000,000 share tranches. 4,830,521 warrants from the first tranche of the 2006 Private Placement were exercised, with the aggregate gross proceeds totaling $9,661,000 (net proceeds to us were $8,695,000 after $966,000 of cash commissions paid to the placement agent). The remaining 1,169,479 first tranche warrants expired on August 7, 2006.
The 6,000,000 second tranche warrants became exercisable on October 16, 2006. In March 2007, we entered into a Warrant Exercise and Price Protection arrangement with certain warrant holders of the 2006 Private Placement. This arrangement included a special warrant exercise inducement whereby (i) the warrant holder would receive 2.5 shares of our common stock for each $2.00 of second tranche warrant exercise price paid to us (this equates to an effective price of $0.80 per share) and (ii) the warrant holder would receive short-term ratchet-style price protection (through September 30, 2007) on March 2007 warrant exercises. 552,375 warrants from the second tranche of the 2006 Private Placement were exercised for 1,352,814 shares of our common stock, with the aggregate gross proceeds totaling $1,104,750 (net proceeds to us were $994,275 after $110,475 of cash commissions paid to the placement agent). Of the 552,375 warrants exercised, 533,625 were exercised under the special Warrant Exercise and Price Protection arrangement. The remaining 5,447,625 unexercised warrants from the second tranche expired on March 30, 2007.
Among the investors in the 2006 Private Placement were several of our affiliates, including direct or indirect investment by Company directors and officers: Joseph O’Neill ($25,000 note and 37,500 warrants), Martyn Greenacre ($25,000 note and 37,500 warrants), David Hochman ($25,000 note and 37,500 warrants), Kevin Reilly ($25,000 note and 37,500 warrants), Alan Rosenthal ($25,000 note and 37,500 warrants), Michael Green ($100,000 note and 150,000 warrants), Peter Lowry ($25,000 note and 37,500 warrants), and Georgia Theofan ($50,000 note and 75,000 warrants). All of these warrants expired unexercised except for 206,250.
A designated $6,000,000 of the 2006 Private Placement notes sold (including those sold to our non-director officers) are further supported by a recourse interest limited to the value of the proceeds of certain shares of private-company preferred stock owned by STIC, an affiliate of Mr. Kimberlin. In order to induce STIC to provide a limited recourse interest to the value of the proceeds of certain shares of private-company preferred stock for the benefit of a designated $6,000,000 of the 2006 Private Placement notes, to issue to STIC, for every month that the limited recourse interest remains in place, a number of seven-year warrants to purchase our common stock at $2.00 per share equal to 1% of the common stock then underlying the designated $6,000,000 of the 2006 Private Placement notes, to the extent the notes are then outstanding. As of March 31, 2007, STIC had earned 319,241 warrants to purchase our common stock at $2.00 per share. We also paid commissions and fees to our placement agent, STVI, for its services in connection with the 2006 Private Placement. STVI, which is an affiliate of Mr. Kimberlin and at the time was also an affiliate of our director David Hochman, received $800,000 in cash and seven-year placement agent warrants to purchase 800,000 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share. STVI then allocated the warrants to various brokers, employees (including Mr. Hochman) and its parent company. In addition, STVI received a commission equal to 10% of the warrant exercise proceeds in cash plus seven-year placement agent warrants to purchase a number of shares of our common stock equal to 20% of the number of exercised warrants, which were also be allocated in a similar manner. In conjunction with the exercise of the first tranche warrants, STVI received $966,104 cash and seven-year placement agent warrants to purchase 966,104 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share. As a result of the exercise of 552,375 second tranche warrants (of which 533,625 were exercised under the Warrant Exercise and Price Protection arrangement described above), STVI became entitled to $110,475 in cash and 110,475 additional placement agent warrants. The exercise price per share of 106,725 of the additional placement agent warrants will be at $0.80 instead of $2.00, as a result of an amendment related to the Warrant Exercise and Price Protection arrangement. We also reimbursed STVI’s expenses and provided it with certain “tail” and first refusal rights.

The 2006 Private Placement (including the placement agent warrants) and the earlier $250,000 financing from Qubit resulted in weighted-average antidilution adjustments under various warrants held by Cheshire, resulting in them becoming exercisable for an aggregate of 1,070,731 shares of common stock, instead of the 99,468 shares of common stock for which they had been exercisable before the February 8, 2006 transactions, and at a blended exercise price of $9.72 instead of $105.00. Following the Warrant Exercise and Price Protection exercises in March 2007 and the expiration of the remaining 5,447,625 unexercised second tranche warrants, the warrants held by Cheshire, are now exercisable for an aggregate of 931,182 shares of common stock at a blended exercise price of $11.18 per share.
All of the 8% Notes and the Mortgage Note described above are secured.

On June 7, 2006, we entered into a consulting agreement with Orchestra Partners, LLC (“Orchestra Partners”), pursuant to which Orchestra Partners will provide certain investor relations, public relations, corporate finance and other consulting services. Under this agreement, Orchestra Partners was paid $15,000 per month, with a commitment for a minimum of a six-month term, the agreement was terminated in April 2007. Orchestra’s sole member and manager is David Hochman, a director of the Company and a former affiliate of Spencer Trask & Co. Mr. Hochman was paid a total of $150,000 during the term of this consulting agreement.
The Board of Directors believes that the foregoing transactions were in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. It is our current policy that all transactions by us with officers, directors, 5% stockholders or their affiliates will be entered into only if such transactions are approved by a majority of the disinterested directors, and are on terms no less favorable to us than could be obtained from unaffiliated parties.

In 2005 there were services rendered for the annual audit of our 401(k) Plan for the year ended 2004 and for services for reviewing our Sarbanes-Oxley systems documentation.
 
(c)   Tax fees include services for the preparation of our consolidated federal and state tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.
All audit related services, tax services and other services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee, which concluded that the provision of such services by LevitZacks was compatible with the maintenance of that firm’s independence in the conduct of its auditing functions. The Audit Committee’s Outside Auditor Independence Policy provides for pre-approval of audit, audit-related and tax services specifically described by the Committee on an annual basis and, in addition, individual engagements anticipated to exceed pre-established thresholds must be separately approved. No fees were approved under the Regulation S-X Rule 2.01(c)(7)(i)(C) exceptions to the pre-approval requirement.
