PART III

 

 

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Joint Compensation and Options Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Since February 2009, the members of the Joint Compensation and Options Committee have been Dr. West (Chair), Dr. Hanley and Mr. Mahoney, none of whom was a current or former officer or employee during 2009 and none of whom had any related person transaction involving us. In February 2009, when Mr. Martin was appointed as President and Chief Executive Officer, he was replaced on the Joint Compensation and Options Committee by Mr. Mahoney, and Dr. West became Chair of the committee. None of our executive officers has served as a director or member of the compensation committee (or other committee serving an equivalent function) of any other entity whose executive officer served on our Joint Compensation and Options Committee. In addition, none of our executive officers has served as a member of the compensation committee (or other committee serving an equivalent function) of any other entity whose executive officer served on our Board.


EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation of New President and Chief Executive Officer

On February 9, 2009 we entered in to an oral agreement between us and Mr. Martin to serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer. Shortly thereafter we began a search for a permanent Chief Executive Officer and retained an executive recruiting firm. However, on April 14, 2009, we appointed Mr. Martin as our permanent President and Chief Executive Officer, to serve as such pursuant to the terms of an oral agreement with him. Then on May 20, 2009 we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Martin. Under the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Martin has or will receive:

 

   

compensation, including an annual salary of $260,000;

 

   

an option grant to purchase 60,000 shares of our common stock on May 20, 2009 at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. These options vest in 48 equal monthly installments on each monthly anniversary of the date of grant. Performance options to purchase 120,000 shares of common stock were also granted. One half of the performance option (60,000 shares) will vest on the day on which the average stock price for 30 consecutive trading days has been equal to or greater than $4.50. One half of the performance option (60,000 shares) will vest on the day on which the average stock price for 30 consecutive trading days has been equal to or greater than $9.00.

 

   

and other benefits including (i) all paid holidays given by us to our officers and employees (ii) healthcare benefits available to employees or such other similar arrangement of similar cost as may be mutually agreed and (iii) a car allowance of $750 per month.

 

   

Mr. Martin remains a member of our Board, but has resigned as a member of the Joint Compensation and Options Committee and the Audit Committee.

 

   

Please refer to the “Director Compensation” section elsewhere in Item 10 of this Form 10-K/A for information regarding the compensation he received as a director prior to becoming President and Chief Executive Officer.

Overview

The Joint Compensation and Options Committee, which we sometimes refer to as the Compensation Committee, oversees our executive compensation program. In this role, the Compensation Committee annually reviews and approves all compensation decisions relating to our Named Executives.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Our compensation philosophy for our Named Executives is based on the principles of competitive and fair compensation and is designed to link compensation for our Named Executives to sustained corporate and individual performance. We believe that the compensation of our executive officers should reflect their performance as a management team in achieving key long-term goals and short-term operating objectives, including:

 

   

successful completion of our clinical trials;

 

   

improvement of our market share, sales and long-term competitive advantage;

 

   

management of our resources, including cash and personnel;

 

   

further development of our technology pipeline; and

 

   

ultimately, attainment of an increased market price for our common stock.

We believe that the performance of our Named Executives in managing the Company, considered in light of general economic and specific company, industry and competitive conditions, should be the basis for determining their overall compensation. We also believe that compensation for our Named Executives should not be based on the short-term performance of our common stock, whether favorable or unfavorable, but rather that the price of our common stock will, in the long-term, reflect our operating performance, and ultimately, the effectiveness of our Named Executives in managing the Company.


In executing our compensation policy for our Named Executives, we seek to reward each Named Executive’s achievement of designated objectives relating to our annual and long-term performance and each Named Executive’s individual fulfillment of responsibilities. While compensation survey data is a useful guide for comparative purposes—and the Compensation Committee referred to such data in its deliberations, we believe that a successful compensation program also requires the Compensation Committee to apply its subjective judgment and determination in assessing individual performance. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee applies its judgment to adjust and align each individual element of our compensation program within the parameters of the broader objectives of our compensation program.

Our compensation program for Named Executives is designed to achieve the following objectives:

 

   

attract, develop and retain qualified executives who are expected to contribute to our long-term success;

 

   

motivate Named Executives to achieve our overall financial and non-financial performance objectives, such as achieving necessary regulatory approvals, while also rewarding them for superior performance and individual contributions;

 

   

align the interests of Named Executives with the interests of our stockholders by securing the appropriate balance of strategic market expertise and continuity of our long-term strategies and goals; and

 

   

achieve equitable comparative compensation between each of the Named Executives and between the Named Executives on the one hand and the rest of our employees on the other.

We compensate our Named Executives based upon corporate and individual performance. Given the importance of our achievement of certain performance objectives, including progress relating to our ongoing clinical trials, revenues and continued financial and operational discipline, the Compensation Committee believes that the most appropriate means of linking executive compensation to our overall performance is to make the payment of annual cash incentive awards and the granting of options conditioned upon the achievement of specific and concrete performance milestones. Individual performance is evaluated by whether the Named Executive achieved individual performance objectives determined by the Compensation Committee after deliberation among the Committee members and consultation with the executive. For fiscal 2009, as a result of our corporate objective to conserve cash, we provided, and Mr. Davis agreed to accept, a portion of his incentive compensation in the form of stock awards.

Compensation Committee Methodology

To ensure that our compensation program for our Named Executives is competitive and fair, the Compensation Committee (i) utilizes its own subjective assessment of the compensation of each Named Executive and (ii) compares our compensation practices against survey data compiling the publicly available compensation data of a peer group of companies, or Peer Group, including Abiomed, Inc., Aspect Medical Systems, Inc., Cerus Corporation, NeuroMetrix, Inc. and Possis Medical, Inc. The Compensation Committee also reviewed the National Association of Corporate Directors of 27 healthcare companies composite. The companies in our Peer Group were selected largely because they are of comparable size and industry classification and therefore are competitors in our effort to attract and retain qualified executives. In addition, to the extent that a compensation decision is being made in concert with the execution of a new or renewed employment agreement, additional pressure from actual and potential competitors and the bargaining process with the affected executive impact compensation as the Compensation Committee negotiates the agreement.

Components of Executive Compensation

The primary elements of our compensation program for our Named Executives are:

 

   

base salary;

 

   

annual bonuses based on corporate and departmental performance;

 

   

discretionary and performance-based cash compensation and equity awards in the form of stock options;

 

   

change in control and post-termination payments and benefits; and

 

   

Other employee benefits and perquisites.

Our Compensation Committee does not have any pre-established policies or targets for the allocation of these compensation elements. Instead, the amount of each element in comparison to the total compensation opportunity for each Named Executive is largely established by competitive factors that are based upon the Compensation Committee’s review of the survey data from our Peer Group.

In evaluating each Named Executive’s performance, the Compensation Committee generally:

 

   

sets Company and individual goals and objectives at the beginning of the fiscal year;


   

evaluates, and communicates to the Named Executive, its assessment of the Named Executive’s performance and contributions to the Company; and

 

   

reviews base salary levels and determines the proportion of total compensation attributable to cash incentive awards and stock compensation awards after taking into account its own subjective assessment and the comparative compensation practices of other companies in the Peer Group.

(a) Base Salary

We compete with many larger companies in attracting and retaining high-quality executive talent. As such, we believe that to remain competitive, our base salaries should be targeted between the 50th and 75th percentile of the range of salaries for executives in similar positions and with similar responsibilities at companies in our Peer Group. Base salaries are designed to provide Named Executives with a level of predictability and stability with respect to a portion of their total compensation package. In establishing base salaries for Named Executives, the Compensation Committee considers the responsibilities, performance, and historical compensation levels of the Named Executive. In addition, the Compensation Committee considers internal equity among executives and, by reviewing publicly available compensation information, the base salaries of executives at companies in our Peer Group. Finally, the Compensation Committee evaluates each Named Executive’s base salary in reference to the other components of the Named Executive’s compensation to ensure that the executive’s total compensation is in line with our overall compensation philosophy.

Pursuant to the employment agreement currently in effect between us and our Chief Executive Officer, Francis J. Martin, Mr. Martin received a base salary of $260,000 effective when the employment agreement was entered into on May 20, 2009. Pursuant to the employment agreement currently in effect between us and our Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Richard E. Davis, Mr. Davis received a base salary of $359,000, less an agreed upon reduction of $35,900, for fiscal 2009. In February 2009, Mr. Davis was appointed Chief Operating Officer, in addition to being our Chief Financial Officer, but maintained the same base salary. These specific base salary amounts were determined after considering the factors described above and as part of arms-length negotiations between the Compensation Committee and Mr. Ahern and Mr. Davis, respectively. If deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee, base salaries are adjusted from time to time in order to reflect the promotion of a Named Executive or to realign salaries with the salaries of executives in comparable positions at companies in our Peer Group, after taking into account such factors as individual performance, scope of responsibility and experience.

(b) Performance-Based Cash Incentive Awards

It is our general philosophy that executives be rewarded for their achievement of the goals the Compensation Committee sets for them. Therefore, each Named Executive is eligible to receive an annual cash incentive award pursuant to the terms of such Named Executive’s employment agreement. These discretionary annual cash incentive awards are intended to compensate Named Executives for the achievement of both individual performance objectives and company-wide strategic, operational and financial goals, as well as to provide the Named Executive with added incentive to reach such objectives and goals. Individual performance objectives are generally determined in the first quarter of each fiscal year by our Board in consultation with the Named Executive. Company-wide strategic, operational and financial goals are determined by the Board with the assistance of management at the beginning of each year. Cash incentive awards are generally paid in the first quarter of each year after completion of the year-end audit. For fiscal 2009, as a result of our corporate objective to conserve cash, we provided, and Messrs. Martin and Davis agreed to, incentive compensation in the form of stock awards.

Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Martin’s employment agreement, Mr. Martin is entitled to receive an annual bonus in an amount of up to $25,000, with the exact amount of such annual cash bonus, if any, to be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, after consultation with the Compensation Committee and/or Mr. Martin, as the Board deems appropriate, on an annual basis. In lieu of a cash bonus for fiscal 2009, the Compensation Committee, as a result of our corporate objective to conserve cash, awarded Mr. Martin a stock award of 5,208 shares valued at $25,000 on March 23, 2010.

Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Davis’ employment agreement, Mr. Davis is entitled to receive an annual cash incentive award of up to 30% of his then current base salary, provided that (i) Mr. Davis satisfies certain financial and other performance goals applicable to such fiscal year and (ii) the Company achieves certain profit targets applicable to such fiscal year, each as established in good faith by the Compensation Committee in consultation with our Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Davis. Based upon partial achievement of the corporate objectives, and specifically as it related to the cash management of the Company, Mr. Davis received a cash incentive award equal to 10% of his base salary in fiscal 2009, which is equal to one-third of his potential bonus award or $35,900.


(c) Stock Option and Equity Incentive Programs

Performance-based compensation at the executive officer level also includes the long-term incentives afforded by stock options. The stock option program, which is currently administered by the Compensation Committee, is designed to align the long-term interests of our employees and our stockholders, and to assist in the retention of executives. The size of option grants is generally intended to reflect the executive’s position with us and his or her contributions to the Company, including success in achieving the individual performance criteria described above. When granting stock options, the Company has fixed the exercise price of such options at 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.

Our stock option program is the primary vehicle for offering long-term incentives and rewarding our executive officers and key employees. We also regard our equity incentive program as a key retention tool. Due to the direct relationship between the value of an option and the market price of our common stock, we believe that granting stock options is the best method of motivating our executive officers to manage the Company in a manner that is consistent with the interests of the Company and our stockholders. However, because of the evolution of regulatory, tax and accounting treatment of equity incentive programs and because it is important to the Company to retain our executive officers and key employees, we realize that it is important to be able to utilize other forms of equity awards as and when we may deem it necessary. The Compensation Committee periodically evaluates other long-term programs that will continue to reward our executives and key employees and to better align the interests of our executives and key employees with the interests of our stockholders.

Mr. Martin

Effective February 9, 2009, we entered into an agreement with Mr. Martin to serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer. As part of that agreement, an option to purchase 30,000 shares of our common stock on February 9, 2009 at an exercise price of $0.81 per share. These options vested in full on February 9, 2010. On May 20, 2009, when Mr. Martin was appointed our permanent President and Chief Executive Officer, he was given an option grant to purchase 60,000 shares of our common stock on May 20, 2009 at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. These options vest in 48 equal monthly installments on each monthly anniversary of the date of grant. Performance options to purchase 120,000 shares of common stock were also granted. One half of the performance option (60,000 shares) will vest on the day on which the average stock price of our common stock for 30 consecutive trading days has been equal to or greater than $4.50. One half of the performance option (60,000 shares) will vest on the day on which the average stock price of our common stock for 30 consecutive trading days has been equal to or greater than $9.00. However, these options become immediately exercisable in the event of a change of control of the Company.

Mr. Davis

In relation to his promotion to Chief Operating Officer the Compensation Committee granted Mr. Davis options to purchase 30,000 shares of Company common stock on February 9, 2009 at an exercise price of $0.81 per share. These options vest in 48 equal monthly installments and are exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of grant. However, these options become immediately exercisable in the event of a change of control of the Company.

Except as described above, there is no set formula for the granting of options or other stock awards to our executives. However, it is our practice to make an initial equity-based grant to each executive upon commencement of employment, in an amount that is consistent with those granted to executive officers at companies in the Peer Group at similar levels of seniority and responsibility. In addition, we typically make an annual grant of equity-based compensation to executives at some point during each fiscal year. Discretionary equity-based grants may be made throughout the year to provide an incentive to achieve a specific goal or to reward a significant achievement.

(d) Change of Control and Post-Termination Payments and Benefits

Pursuant to the Davis employment agreement, we granted to Mr. Davis the right to receive certain lump sum payments and/or benefits upon (i) a change of control of the Company and/or (ii) the termination of the Named Executive’s employment in certain circumstances, each as described below under the heading “Termination of Employment and Change in Control Arrangements.” We believe that being able to offer such post-employment and change of control payments and benefits improved our ability to attract and retain our Named Executives. The change of control payments to which each Named Executive is entitled are “single trigger” payments, meaning that the payments can be made solely upon a change of control of the Company, whether or not the Named Executive’s employment with us is terminated. The rationale for this “single trigger” is to provide a financial incentive to each Named Executive that is designed to mimic the effect of a change of control on outstanding stock options.

(e) Other Employee Benefits and Perquisites

We maintain benefits that are provided to all of our employees, including our Named Executives and their eligible family members, including the following general health and welfare benefit plans: medical, dental, life, short-term and long-term disability, vision, and supplemental life insurance. Certain benefits are contributory, such as medical and dental. Others are paid entirely by us,


such as short and long-term disability, group term life and accidental death and disability, or paid by employees, such as vision and supplemental life. There is no difference between the percentage paid to the Named Executives and our other employees.

In addition, all of our full-time employees, including the Named Executives, are eligible to participate in our 401(k) plan, which was adopted in 1996. Our employees must be 21 years of age or older and employed by us for at least one month in order to participate in the 401(k) plan. Employees may defer between 1% and 15% of their pay on an annual basis pursuant to the terms of the 401(k) plan. Executive officers are eligible to participate in our 401(k) plan. In any plan year, we may make matching contributions to each participant. In 2009, we did not make any such matching contributions.

Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Martin’s employment agreement, he entitled to four weeks of paid vacation per year and was also entitled to all paid holidays given by the Company to its officers and employees and he is entitled to a monthly automobile allowance of $750.

Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Davis’ employment agreement, he is entitled to four weeks of paid vacation per year and is also entitled to all paid holidays.

We limit the perquisites that we make available to our Named Executives, particularly in light of recent developments with respect to abuses by other companies’ executives involving perquisites. Except as noted above, pursuant to the terms of their employment agreements, each of our Named Executives is entitled to the same perquisites as are provided in our plans and programs that apply to our employees generally.

(1) Based on targets under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Performance-Based Cash Incentive Awards” set forth elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. Although each of Mr. Martin’s, Mr. Ahern’s and Mr. Davis’ employment agreement contains a stated maximum amount with respect to the annual performance-based cash incentive and equity awards that each named executive may receive, the Joint Compensation and Options Committee may, if in its reasonable discretion it determines that the applicable performance objectives were exceeded, award each named executive an amount greater than the stated target. There are no thresholds or maximum payment amounts.
(2) The closing market price of the stock option awards is equal to the closing price of the common stock as reported by the NASDAQ Capital Market on the date of grant.
(3) For additional information regarding the assumptions made in determining the aggregate grant date fair value of the option awards, refer to Footnote 9—”Share-Based Compensation” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, which is on file with the SEC.
(4) The Board determined the targets for potential 2009 performance-based cash incentive and equity awards to be made to executives at a meeting held on December 22, 2008.
(5) These options were granted under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2001 Stock Incentive Plan and vest in 48 equal monthly installments on each monthly anniversary of the date of grant.
(6) These options were granted pursuant to the employment agreement entered into between Mr. Martin and the company of May 20, 2010. The options with an exercise price of $2.00 vest in 48 equal monthly installments on each monthly anniversary of the date of grant. The options with an exercise price of $4.50 vest when the average selling price of our common stock for 30 consecutive trading days has been equal to or greater than $4.50. The options with an exercise price of $9.00 vest when the average selling price of our stock for 30 consecutive trading days is has been equal to or greater than $9.00.
(7) These shares were awarded to Mr. Martin and Mr. Davis for performance during fiscal 2009.

Francis J. Martin

Mr. Martin served on our Board since September 21, 2001 and has been employed by us since February 9, 2009 serving as our President and Chief Executive Officer. On May 20, 2009 we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Martin covering a one-year term through April 13, 2010 with a one-year renewal. Under the Martin employment agreement, Mr. Martin will receive a base salary of $260,000 per year and is entitles to an annual performance-based cash award of up to $25,000. Mr. Martin was also granted a stock option to purchase 60,000 shares of our common stock, vesting in 48 monthly installments on each monthly anniversary of the date of grant. He was also granted a stock option to purchase 120,000 shares of our company stock subject to performance targets based on the daily closing price of our common stock. Mr. Martin is also entitled to benefits the company provides to its other employees including health and welfare plans, participation on in our 401(k) plan, four weeks vacation and all company holidays. Mr. Martin will also receive a monthly auto allowance of $750.

This award is at the discretion of the Board after consultation with the Joint Compensation Committee and/or Mr. Martin as the Board deem appropriate. In lieu of a cash bonus for fiscal 2009, the Compensation Committee, as a result of our corporate objective to conserve cash, with the agreement of Mr. Martin, awarded Mr. Martin a stock award of 5,208 shares valued at $24,998 on March 23, 2009, based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of the grant. This amount is about 10% of his base salary in 2009.

Mr. Ahern was employed by us from September 21, 2000 through February 9, 2009. The Ahern employment agreement provided for a term of employment commencing on October 18, 2007 and ending on June 30, 2009. Under the Ahern employment


agreement, Mr. Ahern received a base salary of $460,000 per year and was entitled to receive an annual performance-based cash incentive award of up to 36% of his annual base salary then in effect for the relevant fiscal year, provided that Mr. Ahern satisfied certain financial and other performance goals applicable to such fiscal year to be established in good faith by the Compensation Committee in consultation with Mr. Ahern on an annual basis.

Pursuant to the terms of the Ahern employment agreement, we reimbursed Mr. Ahern on a monthly basis, net of taxes and required deductions, an amount equal to the payments made by Mr. Ahern for his health insurance policy with Cigna Healthcare, provided, however, that during the term of Mr. Ahern’s policy with Cigna Healthcare, Mr. Ahern was not entitled to any of the benefits provided to all of our employees as described above to the extent covered by Cigna Healthcare. In addition, during the employment term, Mr. Ahern was entitled to four weeks of paid vacation per year and all paid holidays given by the Company to its officers and employees. The Company also provided Mr. Ahern with a monthly automobile allowance of $1,500. Mr. Ahern also agreed not to compete with us for a period of one year after he ceases to be employed by us.

Richard E. Davis

Mr. Davis has been employed by us since February 14, 2001. On August 5, 2009, we entered into a third amendment to the amended and restated employment agreement, dated May 20, 2004, between us and Mr. Davis which, together with the amended and restated employment agreement, we refer to herein as the Davis employment agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, increased his amount of vacation time to four weeks and extended the period of time options can be exercised following his termination. On February 9, 2009, Mr. Davis’ term of employment was extended until December 31, 2010 with automatic renewal for a period of one year in the event that the Company does not provide Mr. Davis with notice of non-renewal within a specified period of time.

Pursuant to the terms of the Davis employment agreement, Mr. Davis is entitled to receive an annual performance-based cash incentive award of up to 30% of his then-current base salary, provided that (i) Mr. Davis satisfies certain financial and other performance goals, which, during fiscal 2009, included goals related to our financial statements, manufacturing efficiencies and interaction with the investment community, and (ii) the Company achieves certain profit targets applicable to the fiscal year, each as established in good faith by the Compensation Committee in consultation with Mr. Ahern and Mr. Davis. For fiscal 2009, the Compensation Committee, as a result of our corporate objective to conserve cash, in consultation with Mr. Martin, and with the agreement of Mr. Davis, awarded Mr. Davis a stock award of 6,646 shares valued at $31,900 on March 23, 2010, based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of the grant.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Cash Compensation

In each of fiscal 2009 and 2010, each non-employee director of the Company not otherwise compensated by the Company is entitled to receive $25,000 for their services as directors, except for the Chairman of our Board, who is entitled to receive $39,000 for his services as Chairman of the Board. In addition, (i) each director who serves on the Audit Committee is entitled to receive an additional $7,000, (ii) each director who serves on the Joint Compensation and Options Committee or Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is entitled to receive an additional $5,000, and (iii) each director who serves as committee chairperson is entitled to receive an additional $4,000 for his or her service as a committee chairperson. All directors are entitled to receive reimbursement of travel expenses incurred in connection with their attendance at Board and committee meetings. In fiscal 2010, each non-employee director of the Company, except for Dr. West who has agreed to defer his compensation, elected to receive one half of their director compensation for 2010 in company stock, based on the closing price of the Company stock on the day of payment.

In fiscal 2009, each non-employee director agreed to reduce their $25,000 retainer to $12,500 for their services as directors. The Chairman of the Board, who receives $39,000 in 2010 for his services as Chairman of the Board, received $26,500 in 2009. In addition, in 2009 the Lead Director agreed to decline the additional $4,000 stipend for her services as Lead Director. The Compensation for service on each committee in 2010 is expected to be identical to the compensation received for serving on committees in 2009.

Stock Compensation

In 1996, the Board adopted, and the stockholders approved, the 1996 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors. In 2007, the Board adopted, and the stockholders approved, the 2007 Plan. In keeping with prior practice under the 1996 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors, the 2007 Plan provides for an option grant to purchase 20,000 shares of our common stock to each new non-employee director upon his or her initial election to the Board. Generally this option grant vests in equal monthly installments over a three-year period. In addition to this initial grant, immediately following each annual meeting of stockholders, each eligible director, other than any eligible director first elected to the Board within the 12 months immediately preceding and including such meeting, is granted an option to purchase 8,000 shares of our common stock as of the date of such meeting. In addition, following each annual meeting of stockholders, each eligible director who served as a member of a committee of the Board during the preceding year is granted an additional option to purchase (i) 2,000 shares of our common stock if such director served as chairperson of such committee or (ii) 1,000 shares of our common stock if such director did not serve as chairperson of such committee. The Director’s Plan expired by its terms in June 2006.

In addition, our Lead Director is granted an additional option to acquire 2,000 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price equal to the then fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The terms and conditions of this Lead Director grant will be substantially similar to our annual option grants made to our non-employee directors generally. The Lead Director grant will be in addition to any other option grant or other award that the Lead Director may otherwise be entitled to as a result of such director’s Board and committee membership and participation.

In addition, our Chairman of the Board is granted an additional option to acquire 5,000 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price equal to the then fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The terms and conditions of this Chairman of the Board grant will be substantially similar to our annual option grants made to our non-employee directors generally. The Chairman of the Board grant will be in addition to any other option grant or other award that the Chairman of the Board may otherwise be entitled to as a result of such director’s Board and committee membership and participation.

These annual option grants become fully vested six months after the date of grant. The exercise price of options granted under the Director’s Plan or under any applicable plan is equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. In the event an optionee ceases to serve as a director, each option may be exercised by the optionee, for the portion then exercisable, at any time within one year after the optionee ceases to serve as a director of the Company.


The following table sets forth the compensation paid to each of our non-employee directors in 2009.
