The exercise price of each such option on June 30, 1998, was $4.78 per share (100% of the market price of Common Stock on the date of grant). Directors who are also full-time employees of the Company received no additional cash compensation for services as directors. Employment Agreements - --------------------- In October 1998, the Company entered into a revised employment agreement with Mr. Farris, which the Company and Mr. Farris agreed to further amend in April 1999 (as amended, the "Employment Agreement"). The Employment Agreement provides for a three-year term, an annual base salary of $250,000, a total of 210,000 stock options granted in 1998 and 131,250 stock options granted in 1999. In addition, 58,750 stock options will be granted on June 18, 1999, the date of the Company's 1999 annual meeting, if the Company's shareholders approve an increase in the number of shares available in the Company's stock option plan. The Employment Agreement also provides for opportunity for an annual cash performance bonus of up to 25% of base salary based upon specific objectives established by the Executive Compensation and Stock Option Committee, and an opportunity for an annual cash additional bonus in an aggregate amount of 20% of base salary if all or a portion of certain events or goals identified from time to time by the Executive Compensation and Stock Option Committee occur or are achieved. If the employment of Mr. Farris is terminated by the Company without "cause" or by him with "good reason" (as such terms are defined in the Employment Agreement), Mr. Farris would be entitled to all salary and other benefits under the Employment Agreement through the later of (i) the remaining term of the Agreement or (ii) one year after the date of his termination. The Employment Agreement includes non-compete and confidentiality covenants. The Compensation Committee reviews Mr. Farris' employment arrangements from time to time and may grant Mr. Farris additional stock options or otherwise modify his employment arrangements in the future based on those reviews. 5 Severance Arrangement - --------------------- In connection with the resignation of Mr. Pieroni as President of TFG and Chief Development Officer of the Company in September 1996, the Company agreed, in lieu of the provisions under his employment agreement, to the following: (i) the payment of six months salary ($75,000) in monthly installments, (ii) the amendment of Mr. Pieroni's option to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.25 per share to provide that as to 100,000 shares, such options become fully exercisable, and as to the remaining 100,000 shares, the options will be canceled, and (iii) the continuation of a car allowance, office space and clerical support for six months. The Company has not yet determined whether the options should remain exercisable for more than 90 days after the termination of Mr. Pieroni's service as a director.

Added to this total are the exercisable options and warrants held by the applicable person or group. 8 Item 13. Certain Relations and Related Transactions - ---------------------------------------------------- LaserSight Centers. In March 1997, pursuant to an amendment to a previously-reported 1993 acquisition agreement (as so amended, the "Amended Centers Agreement"), the Company issued 625,000 unregistered shares of Common Stock to a group of former stockholders and former optionholders (the "Former Centers Holders") of LaserSight Centers Incorporated ("LaserSight Centers"), a developmental stage company that the Company acquired in April 1993 and through which the Company intends to begin to provide services for ophthalmic laser surgical centers using excimer and other lasers. The Amended Centers Agreement also provides for issuance of up to 600,000 additional shares of Common Stock to the Former Centers Holders to the extent that a revised earnout (as described below) is satisfied through March 31, 2002. Trusts for the benefit of Dr. O'Donnell, the Chairman of the Board of the Company, or his descendants (collectively, the "O'Donnell Trusts") received 226,644 (approximately 36%) of the 625,000 shares issued and would be entitled to receive the same percentage of any additional shares issued. Under the Amended Centers Agreement, Earnout Shares are issuable at the rate of one share of Common Stock per $4.00 of PRK Earnings (as defined) received by the Company through March 31, 2002. No Earnout Shares have become issuable as of the date of this Report on Form 10-K/A. For this purpose, the following items are considered revenue: (i) per procedure revenues received by the Company in connection with the utilization of a fixed or mobile excimer laser owned or operated by the Company to perform photorefractive keratectomy ("PRK") and treat myopia, astigmatism and hyperopia; (ii) certain revenues received by the Company from managed care companies or employers for arranging the delivery of PRK, and (iii) any royalties received by the Company on account of patents assigned to LaserSight Centers. The Amended Centers Agreement excludes the following from the computation of PRK Earnings: (i) revenues derived from the manufacture and servicing of excimer lasers, (ii) fees from patents not assigned to LaserSight Centers, (iii) managed care fees for non-PRK services, and (iv) revenues from non-excimer procedures. Management of the Company believes that these exclusions will benefit the Company by eliminating uncertainty as to how the LaserSight Centers earnout is to be computed. In addition, the Company is no longer required to use LaserSight Centers as its exclusive representative in the U.S. and Canada for the sale and distribution of ophthalmic refractive lasers or related refractive procedures. However, it may be in the interest of Dr. O'Donnell for the Company to pursue business strategies that maximize the issuance of Earnout Shares. In March 1997, the Company also amended its previously-reported royalty agreement (as so amended, the "Amended Royalty Agreement") with Laser Partners, a Florida general partnership, that it had entered into shortly before the LaserSight Centers acquisition. The Amended Royalty Agreement reduces the maximum per eye royalty to be paid by the Company from $86 to $43, and delays the commencement of such royalty payments until after March 2002 or, if sooner, the delivery of all of the 600,000 shares contingently issuable under the earnout provisions of the Amended Centers Agreement. The Company's obligations under the Amended Royalty Agreement are perpetual. The Company understands that one of the O'Donnell Trusts is a partner of Laser Partners with a 36% partnership interest. The Amended Royalty Agreement provides that the Company is not required to pay a royalty in connection with any of the following: (i) procedures which do not involve both an excimer laser and PRK, (ii) laser procedures performed by a third party in connection with any license granted by the Company, and (iii) laser procedures performed pursuant to a contract with a managed care company or an employer, pursuant to which the Company agrees to arrange for the delivery of eye care services other than PRK or for eye care services which include PRK without any identifiable fee attributable thereto. The management of the Company believes that these exclusions reduce the scope of the Company's obligation to make royalty payments. It may be in the interest of Dr. O'Donnell for the Company to pursue business strategies that maximize such royalty payments. 9 The Board of Directors has discretion to discontinue, sell or transfer at any time the Company's business related to arranging for the performance of PRK. Sale of Laser System. As previously reported, in December 1995, the Company sold one of its laser systems to a company owned by Dr. O'Donnell at a price of $235,000 for use in clinical trials. The Company received payment of the $235,000 in January 1997. Acquisition of TFG. Pursuant to a December 1995 amendment to the earnout provisions of the agreement pursuant to which the Company had acquired TFG from Mr. Farris in February 1994, the Company and Mr. Farris agreed that the earnout would be payable in shares of Common Stock in both January 1997 (based on TFG's annual performance during 1994, 1995, and 1996) and January 1999 (based on TFG's annual performance during 1997 and 1998). The 406,700 earnout shares which had been earned under the amended agreement for the three-year period ended December 31, 1996 were issued in April 1997. In view of TFG's losses in 1997 and 1998, no earnout shares were payable for those years. Consulting Arrangement. In May 1997, the Company's LaserSight Technologies subsidiary entered into an agreement, effective as of January 1, 1997, with Dr. Byron A. Santos ("Dr. Santos"), an ophthalmologist employed by the O'Donnell Eye Institute, a corporation of which Dr. O'Donnell, the Chairman of the Board of the Company, is the Medical Director and owner. The amount that became payable to Dr. Santos under this agreement during 1997 was $96,000. Under the agreement, Dr. Santos is required to be available to provide a minimum of 40 hours of services each month. Such services have related to the development of the LaserScan 2000 excimer laser system, the development of clinical protocols, and training and other consulting services.
