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 Rebecca M. Bergman, each non-employee director received retainer fees of $45,000 in 2008 for being a member of the Board and its Committees. In May 2008, the Board voted to increase the retainer fee to $50,000 from $40,000, thus the retainer fee for the second half of 2008 was $25,000. Ms. Bergman, who was elected to the Board in May 2008, received reduced retainer fees of $25,000 in 2008. In addition, each non-employee director also received a fee for his or her participation in Board and Committee meetings.

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;

 

   

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; and

 

 

 

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

Seven of the eight existing non-employee directors received options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock in 2008. Ms. Bergman received options to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock immediately after being elected to the Board in May 2008. If elected at the 2009 annual meeting, all eight continuing non-employee directors will receive options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock the day after the meeting. The option exercise 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.

Except for Ms. Bergman, each existing non-employee Director received 1,200 shares of common stock on January 2, 2008. Each existing non-employee Director received 1,200 shares of common stock on January 2, 2009.
