Cash Compensation

Directors who are employed by the Company receive no compensation or fees for
serving as a director or for attending board or committee meetings. Directors
who are not employed by the Company receive cash and stock compensation, as
described below.

[Except for Nina V. Fedoroff, each non-employee director received retainer fees
of $40,000 in 2007 for being a member of the Board and its Committees.
Ms. Fedoroff, who resigned from the Board in August 2007, received reduced
retainer fees of $20,000.] In addition, each non-employee director also received
a fee for his or her participation in Board and Committee meetings. The
following table provides information related to the meeting fees paid to
non-employee directors:

reimbursement of travel expenses.

Stock Compensation

Pursuant to the Company’s 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Company currently
provides non-employee directors with stock compensation as follows:

 

  •  

Newly elected directors will be granted options to acquire 20,000 shares of
common stock upon the date of his or her initial election to the Board; and

 

  •  

Eligible directors serving on the Board on the day after any annual shareholder
meeting, who have served on the Board for at least six months prior to the
annual meeting, will be granted options to acquire 10,000 shares of common stock
on such date.

 

 

•

 

Each non-employee director will be awarded 1,200 shares of common stock on
January 1st of each fiscal year.

[Eight of the nine non-employee directors received options to purchase 10,000
shares of common stock in 2007. Since Dr. Paul had not served on the board for
at least six months prior to the annual meeting, he did not receive options to
purchase 10,000 shares of common stock the day after the meeting. If elected at
the 2008 annual meeting, the seven continuing non-employee directors will
receive options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock the day after the
meeting.] The option price per share is equal to the fair market value, or the
closing stock price, of the common stock on the date the option is granted. No
option will vest or may be exercised to any extent until the holder has
continually served as a director for at least three months from the date of
grant, provided that such options will vest and become exercisable upon
termination of service by reason of death, disability or retirement, subject to
the terms and conditions of the plan. The options expire ten years from the date
of grant.

[Each non-employee director received 1,200 shares of common stock at January 2,
2007 and January 2, 2008.]
