Perquisites
 
Until August 2008, we provided Mr. Bukaty and Dr. Moghadam with a perquisite allowance that was paid bi-weekly with the executive’s salary payment. Effective August 2008, we do not provide any executive officer with a perquisite allowance and currently do not expect to grant a perquisite allowance to any future executive officers. We do, however, provide our executive officers with expanded health benefits consisting of an allowance for medical and dental care, and an allowance for financial planning services. In addition, executives are entitled to various other benefits that are available to all employees generally, including health and welfare benefits, paid holidays and other time off and participation in our 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, a stockholder-approved, tax-qualified plan that allows employees to purchase shares of our common stock at a discount.

Perquisites
 
For fiscal 2008, we provided Mr. Bukaty and Dr. Moghadam with a perquisite allowance that was paid bi-weekly with the executive’s salary payment. Effective August 2008, we do not provide any executive officer with a perquisite allowance and currently do not expect to grant a perquisite allowance to any future executive officers. We also provide our executive officers with certain other perquisites, including expanded health benefits consisting of an allowance for medical and dental care. In addition, executives are entitled to various other benefits that are available to all employees generally, including health and welfare benefits, paid holidays and other time off and participation in our 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, a stockholder-approved, tax-qualified plan that allows employees to purchase shares of our common stock at a discount.
 
We believe the perquisites and other benefits provided to our executive officers are a relatively inexpensive way to enhance the competitiveness of our executives’ compensation package and are generally appropriate in light of the benefit packages offered by companies in our peer group.
