Compensation of Directors

Directors who are employees of the company do not receive any additional compensation for their services as directors. Our non-employee directors each receive $1,000 per board meeting attended in person and $250 per meeting attended telephonically. The fee for attendance, whether in person or telephonic, at a regularly scheduled board meeting as set forth on the board calendar is $1,000. Our non-employee directors also receive an annual retainer of $40,000. Our lead independent director of our board of directors will receive an additional annual retainer of $20,000. Our non-employee directors also receive $7,500 for annual service on the audit committee, and $5,000 for annual service on the executive compensation and nominating and governance committees. Each non-employee director also receives $1,000 per committee meeting attended in person and $250 per meeting attended telephonically. In addition, the chair of the audit committee receives an additional cash retainer of $7,500 per year and chairs of the other committees of our board of directors receive an additional cash retainer of $2,500 per year. In addition to the retainer and meeting fees, non-employee directors are reimbursed for travel and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to attendance at board and committee meetings.

In addition, under our 2007 Directors’ Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Director Plan”), each new non-employee director receives an option to purchase 50,000 common shares upon joining our board of directors. The options vest over a period of three years, with 1/3 vesting each year thereafter provided that the non-employee director remains a director through such period. In addition, under the 2007 Director Plan, each “eligible outside director” is granted an option to purchase an additional 12,000 common shares on the date of our annual general meeting, provided that on such date the director has served on our board of directors for at least six months prior to the date of such annual general meeting. Each of our current independent directors is considered an eligible outside director. This option fully vests on the earlier of the next annual general meeting or the one year anniversary of the option grant date. All options will vest in full upon a change of control. The exercise price per share for each option is equal to the fair market value on the date of grant.
