Reicher is employed pursuant to an Employment Agreement effective as of March 10, 1998, which provides that Mr. Reicher will serve as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer for a term of five years.

No bonus was paid for fiscal 1998. The Employment Agreement also provides for the grant of stock options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.375 per share (representing the closing price for the Company's common stock as reported by the AMEX on the day preceding the grant of the option), which options vest in equal increments of 62,500 option shares at the end of each quarterly period during the term of the Agreement (as such vesting schedule may be amended by mutual agreement between Mr. Reicher and the Board of Directors). The Employment Agreement also permits the Company to repurchase the vested portion of Mr. Reicher's options upon his termination for cause (as defined in the Agreement) or his resignation, at a purchase price equal to the positive difference, if any, between the average of the Closing Price of the Company's common stock as reported by the AMEX for the five trading days prior to the date of termination or resignation, multiplied by the number of option shares which, as of the date of termination, are vested under the option. The Employment Agreement contains standard termination provisions including upon death, disability, for cause (as defined in the Agreement) and without cause. In the 5

7 event the Employment Agreement is terminated without cause, the Company is required to pay Mr. Reicher an amount equal to $350,000 or twice his then base salary, whichever is greater, payable in 24 equal monthly installments. The Employment Agreement permits Mr. Reicher to terminate the Agreement in the event of a change of control (as defined in the Agreement) and restricts Mr. Reicher from disclosing, disseminating or using for his personal benefit or for the benefit of others confidential or proprietary information (as defined in the Employment Agreement) and, provided the Company has not breached the terms of the Employment Agreement, from competing with the Company at any time prior to two years after the earlier to occur of the expiration of the term and the termination of his employment.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS Directors who are employees of the Company receive no additional or special remuneration for their serviced as Directors. Directors who are not employees of the Company receive an annual grant of options to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company's common stock (15,000 shares in the case of the Chairman of the Board) and $500 for each meeting attended ($250 in the case of telephonic meetings). This option-based compensation structure was approved by the Board for fiscal 1998, replacing the prior compensation structure providing for an annual retainer of $25,000 and an additional fee of $500 per meeting attended. The Company also reimburses Directors for travel and lodging expenses, if any, occurred in connection with attendance at Board meetings.

STOCK OPTION PLANS The Company currently maintains three stock option plans adopted in 1984, 1995 and 1998, respectively. The Company in the past has used, and will continue to use, stock options to attract and retain key employees in the belief that employee stock ownership and stock-related compensation devices encourage a community of interest between employees and shareholders. The 1984 Stock Option Plan. In March 1984, the Company's shareholders approved the adoption of a stock option plan (the "1984 Stock Option Plan"). The 1984 Stock Option Plan, as amended, provided for the grant of options to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The 1984 Stock Option Plan terminated by its terms in March 1994. Incentive Stock Options ("ISO's") to purchase 821,666 shares and non-qualified stock options to purchase 120,363 shares have been granted under the 1984 Stock Option Plan. Stock options granted under the 1984 Stock Option Plan have a term of ten years. As of March 31, 1999, options to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company's common stock were outstanding under the 1984 Stock Option Plan and options to purchase 528,431 shares had been exercised. The average per share exercise price for stock options currently outstanding under the 1984 Stock Option Plan is approximately $2.00 No exercise price of an ISO was set at less than 100% of the market value of the underlying Common Stock on the date of grant, except that in the case of any person who owned stock possessing more than 10% of the total voting power of the Company, the exercise price was set at 110% of the market value of the underlying Common Stock. No further stock options may be granted under the 1984 Stock Option Plan. 6

8 The 1995 Stock Option Plan. In September 1995 the Company established the 1995 Halsey Drug Co., Inc. Stock Option and Restricted Stock Purchase Plan (the "1995 Stock Option Plan"). Under the Plan, the Company may grant options to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. ISO's may be granted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and non-qualified options may be granted to employees, directors and other persons employed by, or performing services for, the Company and its subsidiaries. Subject to the Plan, the Stock Option Committee determines the persons to whom grants are made and the vesting, timing, amounts and other terms of such grants. An employee may not receive ISO's exercisable in any one calendar year for shares with a fair market value on the date of grant in excess of $100,000. No quantity limitations apply to the grant of non-qualified stock options. As of March 31, 1999, ISO's to purchase 941,510 shares and non-qualified options to purchase 52,490 shares have been granted under the 1995 Stock Option Plan. The average per share exercise price for all outstanding options under the 1995 Stock Option Plan is approximately $2.77. No exercise price of an ISO was set at less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying Common Stock, except for grants made to any person who owned stock possessing more than 10% of the total voting power of the Company, in which case the exercise price was set at not less than 110% of the fair market value of the underlying Common Stock. No further shares of Common Stock remain available for grant under the 1995 Stock Option Plan. The 1998 Stock Option Plan. The 1998 Stock Option Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors in April 1998 and approved by the Company's shareholders in June 1998. The 1998 Stock Option Plan permits the grant of ISO and not-qualified stock options to purchase up to 2,600,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. As of March 31, 1999, ISO's to purchase 1,910,400 shares and non-qualified options to purchase 289,550 shares have been granted under the 1998 Stock Option Plan, leaving 400,050 shares available for grant under the Plan.
