 Exhibit 10.3 
 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION SCHEDULE 
 Overview  

A summary of our annual non-employee director compensation is provided below:

	 	$	 60,000	  
	 Chairman’s Retainer
	 	$	100,000	(1)
	 Meeting Fees
	 	 
  
	No separate fees for board or
 committee meetings
	  
   

	 Committee Retainer
	 			
	 Audit
	 	$	12,000	  
	 Compensation
	 	$	10,000	  
	 Nominating and Corporate Governance
	 	$	10,000	  
	 Committee Chair Retainer
	 			
	 Audit
	 	$	7,500	  
	 Compensation
	 	$	7,500	  
	 Nominating and Corporate Governance
	 	$	7,500	  
	 Equity Awards
	 			
	 Stock Options
	 	$	70,000	(2)
	 Restricted Stock Units
	 	$	70,000	(3)

  

	(1) 	 The Chairman’s retainer includes, and is not in addition to, the standard board retainer. 

	(2) 	 Upon being elected or continuing as a director, each non-employee director will receive such number of restricted stock units as is determined by
dividing $70,000 by the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. 

	(3) 	 Upon being elected or continuing as a director, each non-employee director will receive a stock option having $70,000 in value. The number of shares
for which the option may be exercised will be determined by dividing $70,000 by a binomial valuation of an option of one share of our common stock on the grant date. 

 Vesting  
 Stock options and restricted stock units will vest 100% on the earlier of
(i) the first anniversary of the grant date or (ii) immediately prior to the first annual meeting of shareholders following the grant date. 
 Deferred Compensation Plan  
 We have a non-employee director deferred compensation
plan. This plan allows directors to defer all or a part of their cash retainers until their service on the board ends. Based on the deferral election, the director is credited with a number of share units which are equivalent to shares of our common
stock with no voting rights. Upon cessation of service on the board, the director receives a share of common stock for each share unit in a lump sum distribution. 
 Restricted stock units are hypothetical shares of our common stock that are settled in shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis upon vesting. Under the deferred compensation plan, directors may defer
receipt of shares issuable pursuant to the restricted stock units until their service on the board ends.
