  •  an additional annual cash retainer of $15,000 for the chair of the Audit Committee (currently, Mr. Nelson), $10,000 for the chair of the Compensation Committee (currently, Mr. Schindler) and $10,000 for the chair of the Governance and Nominating Committee (currently, Mr. Johnson);
 
  •  an additional annual cash retainer of $5,000 for each member of the Audit Committee other than the chair (currently, Mr. Griffin, Ms. Mathews and Ms. Peterson);
 
  •  an annual grant of $110,000 in restricted stock units; and
 
  •  reimbursement of customary expenses for attending Board, committee and stockholder meetings.

directors at its meeting in December 2008, so that such decisions could be made prior to the January 1, 2009 effective date for any changes in compensation rather than retroactively, and to approve equity grants simultaneously with those decisions. Regarding 2008 compensation, the Compensation Committee made decisions and approved equity grants at its meeting in January 2008. Therefore, two restricted stock unit grants were made to non-employee directors during calendar year 2008. Both of these grants are reflected in the table below.
 
The following table summarizes the compensation paid to our non-employee directors for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2009.
