The Board Retainer, Committee Member Retainer, Chairman of the Board Retainer
and Committee Chairman Retainer shall be payable semi-annually in two equal
payments. The first payment shall be payable upon the adjournment of the first
meeting of the Board following the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The

non-employee director’s continued service to the Company as a non-employee
director, Committee Member, Chairman of the Board or Committee Chairman, as
applicable, on such date.
Option to Receive Equity in Lieu of Cash Retainers
A non-employee director may elect to receive all or part of the Annual Retainer,
Committee Member Retainer, Chairman of the Board Retainer or Committee Chairman
Retainer in an amount of shares of Company common stock equal to the applicable
amount of the cash retainer divided by the Fair Market Value of the Company’s
common stock on the date such cash retainer becomes payable. Any such election
shall be made in writing to the Secretary of the Company no later than the date
the cash retainer becomes payable. Shares of common stock issued in lieu of a
cash retainer shall be fully vested on the date of grant.
Equity Compensation
Initial Equity Award for New Directors
Commencing May 20, 2010, on the date a new non-employee director becomes a
member of the Board, such non-employee director shall receive a restricted stock
award (an “Initial Award”) in an amount of shares of Company common stock equal
to $200,000 divided by the Fair Market Value of the Company’s common stock on
such date, subject to the execution of a restricted stock award agreement and
the payment of a purchase price equal to $0.001 per share. The Initial Award is
subject to vesting over a period of three (3) years in equal annual installments
commencing on the one (1) year anniversary of the date the non-employee director
becomes a member of the Board, subject to the non-employee director’s continued
service to the Company through the vesting dates. An employee director who

Initial Award.

Board; and provided, further, that upon the one (1) year anniversary of the date
the non-employee director becomes a member of the Board, an Annual Award shall
be granted which shall be reduced on a pro rata basis to reflect that less than
one (1) year of service is expected of the director for the then-current year
until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Each Annual Award for continuing Board members shall vest in full on the earlier
of (i) the one year anniversary of the date of grant or (ii) the date

stockholders, subject to the non-employee director’s continued service to the
Company through the vesting date.

Plan, or any other equity compensation plan approved by the Company’s
stockholders, and the terms of the restricted stock agreement issued thereunder.
In the event of a Corporate Transaction or Change in Control (as such terms are
defined in the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan), one hundred percent (100%) of the
Shares granted pursuant to this Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy then
outstanding shall become fully vested immediately prior to the effective date of
such Corporate Transaction or Change in Control.
Expense Reimbursement
