Exhibit 10.2

As adopted effective October 22, 2008

OXIGENE, INC.

AMENDED AND RESTATED

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION POLICY

     The Board of Directors of OXiGENE, Inc. (the “Company”) has approved the following amended and
restated policy which establishes compensation to be paid to non-employee directors of the Company,
to provide an inducement to obtain and retain the services of qualified persons to serve as members
of the Company’s Board of Directors. Each such director will receive fees payable in cash and/or
equity as compensation for his or her services, all as further set forth herein.

Applicable Persons

     This Policy shall apply to each director of the Company who (a) is not an employee of the
Company or any Affiliate, (b) is not associated with Symphony Capital Partners, L.P., and (c) does
not receive compensation as a consultant to the Company or any Affiliate (each, an “Outside
Director”). Affiliate shall mean a corporation which is a direct or indirect parent or subsidiary
of the Company, as determined pursuant to Section 424 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.

Annual Retainers

     Each Outside Director shall be compensated on an annual basis for providing services to the
Company. Each Outside Director shall receive an annual retainer consisting of either cash or a
grant of the common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) under the
OXiGENE, Inc. 2005 Stock Plan (the “Stock Plan”), at the election of each Outside Director, as
follows:

	 	•	 	$15,000 in cash, or
	 
	 	•	 	such number of shares of Common Stock as is equal to $15,000 on the date of the
grant of the shares.

     In addition to the foregoing, the Chairman of each Committee of the Board shall receive, for
each committee chaired (which may be more than one), an annual retainer consisting of either cash
or a grant of Common Stock under the Stock Plan, at the election of each Chairman, as follows:

	 	•	 	$3,750 in cash, or
	 
	 	•	 	such number of shares of Common Stock as is equal to $3,750 on the date of the
grant of the shares.

 

 

Meeting Attendance Fees

     Each Outside Director shall receive a fee for attendance at each Board meeting or Committee
meeting consisting of either cash or a grant of Common Stock under the Stock Plan, at the election
of each Outside Director, as follows:

	 	•	 	$750 in cash for attendance at each Board meeting, or
	 
	 	•	 	such number of shares of Common Stock as is equal to $750 on the date of the
grant of the shares; and
	 
	 	•	 	$500 in cash for attendance at each Committee meeting, or
	 
	 	•	 	such number of shares of Common Stock as is equal to $500 on the date of the
grant of the shares.

Election of Form of Compensation

     Each Outside Director shall make an annual election on the form provided by the Company,
indicating the desired form of his or her compensation from the Company, prior to December 1 of
each year. Such election shall remain in effect throughout the following calendar year.
Outside Directors are strongly encouraged to take their fees for service in the form of Common
Stock and not in cash.

     Cash Payments

     Cash to be paid to an Outside Director shall be paid quarterly in arrears as of the last day
of each calendar quarter. If an Outside Director dies, resigns or is removed during any quarter,
he or she shall be entitled to a cash payment on a pro rata basis from the first day of the
applicable quarter through his or her last day of service.

     Stock Grants

     Shares of Common Stock to be paid to an Outside Director shall be automatically granted
without further action by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee quarterly in arrears
as of the last day of each calendar quarter; provided, however, that the Board of Directors or
Compensation Committee shall, by unanimous written consent dated on or prior to the date of the
first issuance of shares in each year, approve the grant of any shares of Common Stock to be issued
to each Outside Director for the applicable year pursuant to this Policy. If an Outside Director
dies, resigns or is removed during any quarter, he or she shall be entitled to a payment in shares
of Common Stock on a pro rata basis from the first day of the applicable quarter through his or her
last day of service.

     The number of shares to be received by an Outside Director shall be calculated by dividing the
applicable cash amount to be received (for example, $15,000 in the case of the annual retainer) by
the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Stock Plan) of the shares of Common Stock (rounded down to
the nearest whole number so that no fractional shares shall be issued).

2

 

     Initial Annual Retainer For Newly Appointed or Elected Directors

     Each Outside Director who is first appointed or elected to the Board of Directors after the
date of the adoption of this Policy shall receive his or her first year’s annual retainer prorated
in accordance with the terms of this Policy from the first day of his or her initial appointment or
election through the last day of the applicable calendar quarter. Each such Outside Director shall
make an election prior to the end of the calendar quarter after his or her initial appointment or
election as to his or her decision to receive cash or shares of Common Stock. The Board of
Directors or Compensation Committee shall, by unanimous written consent dated on or prior to the
last day of the calendar quarter in which such Outside Director is elected, approve the grant of
any shares to be issued to such Outside Director pursuant to this Policy.

Purchase Price and Other Provisions Applicable to All Stock Grants

     Shares granted shall have a purchase price equal to the par value of the Common Stock on the
date of grant and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Stock Plan.

Expenses

     Upon presentation of documentation of such expenses reasonably satisfactory to the Company,
each Outside Director shall be reimbursed for his or her reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses
incurred in connection with attending meetings of the Board of Directors, Committees thereof or in
connection with other Board related business.

Amendments

     The Board of Directors shall review this Policy from time to time to assess whether any
amendments in the type and amount of compensation provided herein should be adjusted in order to
fulfill the objectives of this Policy.

Exhibit 10.3

SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE

          THIS SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE (“Agreement”) is made and entered into by and
between Dr. Richard Chin (“Executive”) and OXiGENE, Inc. (“Employer”), and inures to the benefit of
each of Employer’s current, former and future parents, subsidiaries, related entities, employee
benefit plans and their fiduciaries, predecessors, successors, officers, directors, shareholders,
agents, attorneys, employees and assigns.

RECITALS

     A. Executive was employed by Employer as its President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) as
of June 29, 2006, pursuant to an Employment Agreement of equal date, a copy of which is attached as
Exhibit A (referred to herein as the “Employment Agreement”), and has also served as a member of
Employer’s Board of Directors.

     B. Executive has elected to voluntarily resign from his employment, without “Good Reason” (as
that term is defined in the Employment Agreement), and to resign as a Director, effective October
22, 2008 (the “Separation Date”).

     C. Section 4(b) of the Employment Agreement provides that Executive receive certain
compensation upon the effective date of his resignation without Good Reason. In addition, in
consideration for the release granted by Executive herein, Employer wishes to grant, and Executive
desires to receive, the release set forth in this Agreement.

     D. Executive and Employer (collectively, the “Parties”) wish permanently to resolve any and
all actual and/or potential disputes between them, including disputes arising out of Executive’s
employment with Employer or the cessation of that employment.

          NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the execution of this Agreement and the mutual
covenants contained in the following paragraphs, Employer and Executive agree as follows:

     1. No Admission of Liability. The Parties agree that neither this Agreement, nor
performance of the acts required by it, constitute an admission of liability, culpability,
negligence or wrongdoing on the part of anyone, and will not be construed for any purpose as an
admission of liability, culpability, negligence or wrongdoing by any party and/or by any party’s
current, former or future parents, subsidiaries, related entities, predecessors, successors,
officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees and assigns.

     2. Separation Benefit. In consideration of the releases granted by Executive herein,
Employer agrees to reimburse Executive for (or directly pay to the insurance carrier) any premiums
paid by Executive to continue group health coverage for himself and his dependents pursuant to the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), through December 31, 2008, as
well as to grant Executive the release set forth in Section 9 below (collectively, the “Separation
Benefit”). Executive acknowledges and agrees that he is not otherwise entitled to the Separation
Benefit. Executive may also elect to obtain COBRA

 

 

coverage through Employer after December 31, 2008 up to the statutory limit, but Executive
shall be solely responsible for the payment of associated premiums after that date.

     3. Wages and Vacation Time Paid. Executive acknowledges that, as of the Separation
Date, he has been paid all wages by Employer, including pay for any unused vacation accrued through
the Separation Date, and that such receipt was not conditioned upon the execution of this
Agreement.

     4. Protection of Confidential Information; Return of Property. Executive acknowledges
that during the course of his employment, he had ongoing access and exposure to, and obtained
knowledge of, Confidential Information belonging to Employer. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Confidential Information” is defined as set forth in Section 1 of the Confidentiality,
Noncompetition and Intellectual Property Agreement (“Confidentiality Agreement”), which is attached
hereto as Exhibit B to the Employment Agreement. Executive agrees that he will not use, or
disclose to any person, at any time, any Confidential Information, and that he will comply with the
confidentiality obligations in Section 1 of the Confidentiality Agreement, which obligations extend
beyond the Separation Date (as provided by the Confidentiality Agreement). Executive agrees to
return the Employer, within two (2) business days of the date of this Agreement, any and all items
of personal property belonging to the Employer, including but not limited to computer equipment and
books.

     5. Post-Employment Non-Solicitation and Non-Interference Obligations. Executive
understands and acknowledges that he is subject to certain non-solicitation obligations, set forth
in Section 2 of the Confidentiality Agreement, and agrees that he will comply with said
obligations, to the fullest extent allowable by state and federal law. Executive further agrees
that following the Separation Date, he shall not, directly or indirectly, interfere with Employer’s
business by: (i) revealing any Confidential Information; (ii) soliciting, causing to be solicited,
or knowingly accepting the disclosure of any Confidential Information for any purpose whatsoever or
for any other party; or (iii) disrupting or seeking to disrupt in any manner, directly or
indirectly, any contractual relationship he knows to exist between Employer and any customer,
supplier, partner or other entity. Executive further agrees that he shall not, directly or
indirectly, for a period of two (2) years following the Separation Date, interfere with Employer’s
business by (i) inducing or attempting to induce any employee of Employer to end his or her
employment; (ii) inducing or attempting to induce a consultant, independent contractor, licensee or
other third party to sever any relationship with Employer; or (iii) assisting any other person,
firm or entity in the solicitation of any such Executive, consultant, independent contractor,
licensee or third party.

     6. Executive’s General Release. In consideration of the benefits provided under this
Agreement, including without limitation the Separation Benefit, Executive on his own individual
behalf and on behalf of his heirs, executors, administrators, assigns and successors, fully and
forever releases and discharges Employer and each of its current, former and future parents,
subsidiaries, related entities, employee benefit plans and their fiduciaries, predecessors,
successors, officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees and assigns (collectively,
“Releasees”), with respect to any and all claims, liabilities and causes of action, of every
nature, kind and description, in law, equity or otherwise, which have arisen, occurred or existed
at any

2

 

time prior to the signing of this Agreement, arising out of, or in connection with, or
resulting from Executive’s employment with Employer, or the cessation of that employment.

     7. Waiver of Employment-Related Claims. Executive understands and agrees that, with
the exception of potential employment-related claims identified below, he is waiving and releasing
any and all rights or remedies he may have had or now has to pursue against Employer or any of the
Releasees for any employment-related causes of action, including without limitation, claims of
wrongful discharge, breach of contract (including, without limitation, stock option-related
contracts and grants), breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, fraud, violation of
public policy, defamation, discrimination, personal injury, physical injury, emotional distress,
claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the
Federal Rehabilitation Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Health Insurance and Portability
and Accountability Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the California Family
Rights Act, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the provisions of the California Labor Code and any other
federal, state or local laws and regulations relating to employment, conditions of employment
(including wage and hour laws) and/or employment discrimination. Claims not covered by Executive’s
release are (i) claims for unemployment insurance benefits, (ii) claims under the California
Workers’ Compensation Act (Executive represents, however, that he is not aware of having sustained
any work-related injuries), (iii) claims arising out of the breach of this Agreement, and (iv)
claims relating to coverage of the Executive as a former director and/or officer of the Employer
under the Employer’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy. Executive expressly
acknowledges that Employer would not enter into this Agreement but for the representation and
warranty that Executive is hereby releasing any and all claims of any nature whatsoever, known or
unknown, whether statutory or at common law, which Executive now has or could assert directly or
indirectly against any of the Releasees (other than as expressly set forth herein).

     8. Mutual Waiver of Unknown Claims. Executive and the Employer expressly waive any
and all statutory and/or common law rights they each may have to the effect that a General Release
does not release unknown claims, including any rights under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the
State of California, which states as follows:

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does
not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing
the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his
settlement with the debtor.”

Executive and the Employer expressly agree and understand that the general releases given by the
parties pursuant to this Agreement apply to all unknown, unsuspected and unanticipated claims,
liabilities and causes of action which may exist against the other party.

     9. Employer’s Release. In consideration of the benefits provided under this
Agreement, Employer, on its own behalf and on behalf of its current, former and future parents,
subsidiaries, related entities, employee benefit plans and their fiduciaries, predecessors,
successors, officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees and assigns, fully and forever
releases and discharges Executive, his heirs, executors, administrators, assigns and successors,
with respect to any and all claims, liabilities and causes of action, of every nature, kind and

3

 

description, in law, equity or otherwise, which have arisen, occurred or existed at any time
prior to the signing of this Agreement, arising out of, or in connection with, or resulting from
Executive’s employment with Employer, or the cessation of that employment, provided that Employer
does not release claims (if any) for willful misconduct or gross negligence by Executive, which
causes material harm to Employer. Employer represents that, at the time of execution of this
Agreement, it is unaware of any willful misconduct or gross negligence arising out of the
performance of Executive’s duties.

     10. Consideration/Revocation Period. This Agreement is intended to release and
discharge any claims by Executive under the Age Discrimination and Employment Act. To satisfy the
requirements of the Older Workers’ Benefit Protection Act, 29 U.S.C. section 626(f), the Parties
agree as follows:

          (a) Executive acknowledges that he has read and understands the terms of this Agreement.

          (b) Executive acknowledges that he has been advised to consult with independent counsel
regarding this Agreement, and that he has received all counsel necessary to willingly and knowingly
enter into this Agreement.

          (c) Executive acknowledges that he has been given twenty-one (21) days to consider the terms
of this Agreement (the “Consideration Period”), has taken sufficient time to consider whether to
execute it, and has chosen to enter into this Agreement knowingly and voluntarily. If Executive
does not present an executed copy of this Agreement to Employer’s Chief Financial Officer on or
before the expiration of the Consideration Period, this Agreement and the offer it contains will
lapse.

          (d) For seven (7) days following the execution of this Agreement (should he elect to execute
it), Executive may revoke this Agreement by delivering a written revocation to Employer’s Chief
Financial Officer. This Agreement shall not become effective until the eighth (8th) day after
Executive executes and does not revoke it (the “Effective Date”). If Executive either fails to
sign the Agreement during the Consideration Period, or revokes it prior to the Effective Date, he
shall not receive the Separation Benefit described herein.

     11. Severability. The Parties agree that if any provision of the releases given under
this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, it will not affect the enforceability of the remaining
provisions and the courts may enforce all remaining provisions to the extent permitted by law.

     12. Integrated Agreement. The Parties represent and warrant that they are not
relying, and have not relied, upon any representations or statements, verbal or written, made by
any other with regard to the facts involved in this controversy, or their rights (or asserted
rights) arising out of their alleged claims, or the execution and/or terms of this Agreement,
except as provided herein. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement (together with Exhibit A
and its attachments) contains the entire agreement between the Parties concerning its subject
matter, and further acknowledge and agree that parol evidence shall not be required to interpret
the Parties’ intent.

4

 

     13. Tax Liability/Indemnification. Executive assumes full responsibility for any and
all taxes, interest and/or penalties, if any, that may ultimately be assessed upon the Separation
Benefit hereunder. In the event that any taxing authority seeks to collect taxes, interest and/or
penalties from Employer on the Separation Benefit conveyed to Executive under this Agreement,
Executive will hold Employer harmless from any and all claims for such taxes, interest and/or
penalties and will indemnify Employer against any such claims.

     14. Voluntary Execution. The Parties acknowledge that they have read and understand
this Agreement and that they sign it voluntarily and without coercion. The Parties further agree
that if any of the facts or matters upon which they relied in signing this Agreement prove to be
otherwise, this Agreement will nonetheless remain in full force and effect.

     15. Waiver, Amendment and Modification. The Parties agree that no waiver, amendment
or modification of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and
signed by all parties affected by the waiver, amendment or modification. No waiver of any term,
condition or default of any term of this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any other
term, condition or default.

     16. Choice of Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, shall take effect as an instrument under seal within Massachusetts,
and the validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the internal law of Massachusetts, without giving effect to conflict
of law principles. Any action, demand, claim or counterclaim relating to, or arising under, the
terms and provisions of this Agreement, or to its breach, shall be commenced in Massachusetts in a
court of competent jurisdiction. Venue shall exclusively lie in Massachusetts and that material
witnesses and documents would be located in Massachusetts.

     17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts and said counterparts
shall be treated as though signed as one document.
