("OSI" or the "Company") compensates its non-employee directors for service on the Board of Directors. Effective January 1, 2003, each non-employee director is paid an annual retainer fee of $50,000. The Chairman of the Board and the Chair of the Audit Committee are paid an additional annual retainer fee of $100,000 and $40,000, respectively, in recognition of their increased responsibility and service. Each other non-employee director who serves as a member of the Audit Committee is paid an additional annual retainer fee of $25,000, and each non-employee director who serves as a member of any other Board committee, but is not a member of the Audit Committee, is paid an additional annual retainer fee of $12,500. Fifty-percent of the annual retainer fee earned by each non-employee director is provided to the director in the form of a restricted stock award under the terms of the Stock Purchase Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "Stock Purchase Plan") or the Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan ("Stock Incentive Plan"). The remaining fifty-percent of the director's annual retainer is payable in equal monthly installments in cash, or at the election of the director, in restricted stock under the Stock Purchase Plan or the Stock Incentive Plan. Restricted stock awards are made as of each annual stockholder meeting at which directors are elected beginning with the meeting that occurred on March 19, 2003 or upon a director's initial election to the Board. The number of shares of the restricted stock awards is based on the price of the common stock on the date of grant. Annual restricted stock awards vest in monthly installments over the one-year term for which the award is made. In the event a director's membership on the Board terminates prior to the end of such term, any unvested portion of the director's restricted stock award is forfeited. Shares of restricted stock awarded annually may not be sold or transferred by the director until the first anniversary of the date of grant.
