shares or follow the instructions for internet or telephone voting procedures provided by your broker, bank or other nominee. </B></FONT></P></div> <P STYLE="margin-top:24px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="center"><FONT

Committee has the authority, in its sole discretion, to retain (or obtain the advice of) any compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser to assist it in the performance of its duties, and has the sole authority to approve the reasonable
fees and the other terms and conditions of the engagement of any such adviser. We must provide for appropriate funding, as determined by the Compensation Committee, for the payment of compensation to any such adviser. In this regard, the
Compensation Committee has engaged Radford, an AON Hewitt Consulting Company, or Radford Consulting, as a compensation consultant since August 2011, as described in greater detail under the &#147;Compensation Discussion and Analysis&#148; section of
this Proxy Statement. In March 2018, the Compensation Committee analyzed whether the work of Radford Consulting as a compensation consultant raised any conflict of interest, taking into consideration the following factors: (i)&nbsp;the provision of
other services to our company by Radford Consulting; (ii)&nbsp;the amount of fees from our company paid to Radford Consulting as a percentage of the firm&#146;s total revenue; (iii)&nbsp;Radford Consulting&#146;s policies and procedures that are
designed to prevent conflicts of interest; (iv)&nbsp;any business or personal relationship of Radford Consulting or the individual compensation advisors employed by the firm with an executive officer of our company; (v)&nbsp;any stock of our company
owned by the individual compensation advisors employed by the firm. Annual fees paid to Radford Consulting for their services as advisor to the Compensation Committee in 2017 were approximately $41,264, which was less than 1% of their total
revenues; and (vi)&nbsp;any business or personal relationship of the individual compensation advisors with any member of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee determined, based on its analysis of the above factors, that the work of
Radford Consulting and the individual compensation advisors employed by Radford as compensation consultants to our company has not created any conflict of interest. The Compensation Committee intends to continue to assess the independence of any of
our compensation advisers by reference to the foregoing factors, consistent with applicable Nasdaq listing standards. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">For

the input of our stockholders on our compensation programs. We hold an advisory vote on executive compensation on an annual basis. At our 2017 annual meeting, the stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the NEOs, as
disclosed in the proxy statement for that meeting pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC. The Compensation Committee reviewed the final vote results for the proposal, and, given the significant level of stockholder support
(approximately 89.8% of the votes cast with respect to the advisory proposal), concluded that our compensation program continues to provide a competitive
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pay-for-performance</FONT></FONT> package that effectively encourages our NEOs to work for our long-term prosperity and reflects a reasonable and responsible cost structure.
Accordingly, the Compensation Committee determined not to make any significant changes to our executive compensation policies or decisions as a result of the vote, although the Compensation Committee has looked more critically at our short-term
performance-based incentive targets and long-term incentive awards. The Compensation Committee will continue to consider the outcome of our advisory votes on executive compensation and our stockholders&#146; views when making future executive
compensation decisions for our executives. </FONT></P>

one that provides competitive base salary, rewards the achievement of established corporate performance goals and objectives and provides an incentive for retention. At the same time, our Compensation Committee believes that an effective
compensation program must maintain a reasonable and responsible cost structure. </FONT></P>

an executive&#146;s overall compensation package, the Compensation Committee considers the different components of our compensation packages in light of the role the executive will play in achieving our near-term and longer-term goals, in addition
to the objectives described above. The Compensation Committee also considers the compensation packages provided to similarly situated executives at the companies we consider to be our peers. Performance-based cash compensation awards under our Bonus
Plan for Senior Management of Cerus Corporation, or our Bonus Plan, are made based on the achievement of corporate performance goals designed to create incentives that we believe drive executive performance that result in stockholder value, and each
executive officer&#146;s contribution toward achieving our corporate performance goals. The corporate performance goals <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">vary&nbsp;year-to-year,&nbsp;but</FONT></FONT> generally
include value-adding achievements such as meeting revenue and gross margin targets and timely completion of clinical, development, regulatory, commercial, manufacturing and other operational and strategic undertakings. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Components of Pay/Target Pay Positions/Mix of Pay </I></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The components used to support our compensation objectives stated above are base salary, cash incentive awards under our Bonus Plan, equity awards and certain other benefits (discussed in greater detail
below under &#147;<I>Executive Compensation Components and Decisions</I>&#148;). We use a combination of these pay elements to provide a competitive total compensation package to our executives. We do not specify a target percentage of the overall
compensation to be represented by the various compensation elements. However, the Compensation Committee&#146;s intention is that a significant percentage of each NEO&#146;s total compensation package should be &#147;at risk&#148; in the form of
performance-based cash incentive compensation and long-term equity compensation. Our Compensation Committee believes that having a significant portion of our executives&#146; compensation package be &#147;at risk&#148; has contributed to cultivating
a culture in which our NEOs aggressively pursue our corporate performance goals as they know that their take home pay, to a large extent, depends upon our corporate performance and, to some extent, their contribution to that performance. At the same
time, a significant portion of the &#147;at risk&#148; compensation is in the form of long-term equity incentives, which is designed to mitigate any risk that our executives will pursue short-term outcomes at the expense of long-term stockholder
value. Employees in more senior roles have an increasing proportion of their potential compensation &#147;at risk&#148; and tied to performance because they are in a position to have greater influence on achieving our performance results. For
example, 37.6% of our Chief Executive Officer&#146;s total potential 2017 cash compensation was &#147;at risk,&#148; and 73.1% of his total potential 2017 compensation was &#147;at risk.&#148; For purposes of calculating the potential cash and total
2017 compensation &#147;at risk,&#148; we included the target Bonus Plan compensation as reported in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table and, with respect to total compensation, the grant date fair value of each stock option and restricted stock
unit, or RSU, award, calculated in accordance with ASC 718 as reported in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table. </FONT></P>

upcoming fiscal year, as well as provides input on the level of attainment of the prior year&#146;s corporate performance goals, for purposes of determining the level of achievement of the corporate performance goals. The Chief Executive Officer
also regularly provides input to the Compensation Committee during the course of the year regarding the performance of our other NEOs. The Chief Executive Officer is also delegated authority by the Compensation Committee to approve annual cash

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">From time to time, various members of our management and other employees, as well as outside advisors or consultants, may be invited by
the Compensation Committee to make presentations, provide financial or other background information or advice, or otherwise participate in Compensation Committee meetings. The charter of the Compensation Committee grants the Compensation Committee
full access to all of our books, records, facilities and personnel, as well as the authority, in its sole discretion, to retain (or obtain the advice of) any compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser to assist it in the performance of
its duties, all at our expense. As part of its deliberations, the Compensation Committee may review and consider, as appropriate, materials such as financial reports and projections, operational data, and tax and accounting information. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Prior to each meeting where compensation decisions are to be made with respect to our executives, our Vice President, Administration

(1)&nbsp;equity grant history; (2)&nbsp;vested and unvested potential gain on equity awards using projected stock prices at various points in time in the future; and (3)&nbsp;stock option exercise history, in each case during such ten year period,
or any shorter period of actual employment. In 2017, the tally sheets were reviewed for the purposes of a subjective evaluation as to whether 2017 compensation levels were appropriate in light of the compensation levels in effect for prior years and
whether each executive&#146;s compensation was generally reflective of his or her level of experience and responsibilities. </FONT></P>

all executives, including the allocation of base salary, short-term performance-based cash incentive compensation and long-term equity incentive compensation, and the applicable target award levels as a percentage of base salary related to the
short-term performance-based cash incentive compensation. Historically, the Compensation Committee has made its most significant adjustments to annual base compensation, determined cash and equity awards and established new performance objectives at
one or more meetings held during the first and fourth quarters of the year. Generally, adjustments to the base salary of our executives are determined by the Compensation Committee in February of each year, with the adjustments becoming effective
March&nbsp;1</FONT><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP STYLE="vertical-align:baseline; position:relative; bottom:.8ex">st</SUP></FONT><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">. As discussed more fully below, annual
short-term performance-based cash awards are generally made in the first quarter of the year following the year in which performance is achieved. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%;padding-bottom:0px; "><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Beginning in December 2011, the Compensation Committee changed the timing of annual option grants and, starting in 2016, restricted stock unit grants, to occur in the first quarter of each year concurrent
with the determination of cash compensation. The timing of our annual equity awards was selected so the Compensation Committee could review concurrently all components of executive compensation (base salary, Bonus Plan targets and corporate
performance goal attainment levels, and long-term equity incentive awards) and make compensation determinations based upon the totality of the annual compensation package for each executive. The Compensation Committee&#146;s review typically occurs
in February, with a grant date of March 1</FONT><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP STYLE="vertical-align:baseline; position:relative; bottom:.8ex">st</SUP></FONT><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">. Our general
policy is to grant stock options and other equity awards on fixed dates determined in advance, although there are occasions when grants are made on other dates. Accordingly, we rely on a long-standing, consistently-applied practice on the timing of
annual equity award grants to our executives and we do not otherwise purposely accelerate or delay the public release of material information in consideration of any pending equity award grant to allow the award recipient to benefit from a more
favorable stockholder return. Other than equity award grants to new hires, equity award grants to executive officers are generally approved once a year (typically in the first quarter of the year) unless an executive officer is promoted, in which
case a grant will normally be made at the time of such promotion, or, in rare circumstances, for recognition of outstanding performance or for retention purposes. All required approvals are obtained in advance of or on the actual grant date.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Generally, the Compensation Committee&#146;s process for determining Bonus Plan award opportunities involves two related
elements: the determination of target award levels and the establishment of corporate performance goals for the current year. Per the terms of his employment agreement, Mr.&nbsp;Greenman&#146;s target level for his short-term performance-based cash
incentive compensation is set at 60% of his base salary. For the remaining NEOs, the applicable target level of base salary for the short-term incentive cash compensation award is recommended by the Chief Executive Officer, taking into consideration
feedback from Radford Consulting. The Chief Executive Officer&#146;s recommendations are reviewed by the Compensation Committee, and the Compensation Committee either approves the bonus target levels as recommended or may modify the target levels of
Bonus Plan awards after considering the peer group data provided by Radford Consulting. Bonus Plan compensation, combined with annual equity compensation, has historically resulted in more than 50% of our NEOs&#146; total potential compensation
being &#147;at risk.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">At or prior to the beginning of each year, corporate performance goals are reviewed and approved
by the Compensation Committee and the full Board. Each of our NEO&#146;s short-term incentive cash compensation package is directly tied to our corporate performance, with the Compensation Committee considering each executive&#146;s individual
contribution towards the achievement of our corporate performance goals for the performance year before approving actual individual bonus payouts. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Shortly after the end of each year, the Compensation Committee meets with our Chief Executive Officer to discuss and evaluate each of the corporate performance goals for the preceding year, whether such
goals were attained and, if so, at what level. The Compensation Committee also reviews with our Chief Executive Officer the individual performance of each of our NEOs, other than our Chief Executive Officer, and each individual&#146;s contribution
towards the achievement of our corporate performance goals. The Compensation Committee then meets in executive session without the presence of our Chief Executive Officer to review and evaluate our Chief Executive Officer&#146;s performance for the
preceding year. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Compensation Committee regularly considers the appropriate pay scales for our NEOs and, as part of that process, considers
compensation levels provided by comparable, or peer, companies to persons performing duties of similar scope and complexity as a reference point when making compensation-related decisions in order to ensure that total compensation is competitive
with compensation paid within the industry and is appropriate given the executive&#146;s level of responsibilities. The Compensation Committee uses this assessment to assist it in making decisions regarding appropriate compensation levels for our
executive positions, but the Compensation Committee recognizes that consideration of such comparative data alone is an imperfect tool for establishing competitive compensation packages as the job responsibilities of persons with similar titles may
vary significantly from company to company, and a person&#146;s title is not necessarily descriptive of a person&#146;s duties. </FONT></P>

toward potential approval in the U.S., the initiation of our RedeS study, BARDA exercise of options to support funding for our ReCePI and Scient studies, FDA approval of a protocol for ReCePI and the completion of our SPARC study. Finally, with
respect to our supply chain goals, our Compensation Committee looked at our extraordinary efforts to manage manufacture and kit supply in view of the initiation of our contract with EFS for their intended nationwide conversion to INTERCEPT platelets
and the successful navigation of the clinical studies, regulatory approvals and manufacturing considerations related to our conversion to an alternate plastic component in our platelet and plasma disposable kits in view of the obsolescence of the
plastics currently being used. Due to the delay in our planned CE Mark submission for the red blood cell system, the Compensation Committee did not attribute any achievement to that goal. </FONT></P>

Compensation </I></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition to salary and short-term incentive compensation, we provide our executive officers with long-term
performance incentives, which historically has typically been in the form of stock options. Stock options are intended to foster the long-term perspective we believe is necessary for our continued success by creating a strong, direct link between
our NEOs&#146; compensation and our stock price appreciation. Because the executive must pay a cash exercise price equal to the value of the stock on the date the option is granted, the executive will only receive value from the award if the value
of our stock increases following the option grant date. The Compensation Committee also awards stock options because it believes that if our officers own shares of our common stock with value that is significant to them, but which value cannot be
immediately realized, they will have an incentive to act to maximize longer-term stockholder value instead of short-term gain. Our stock option awards are granted subject to vesting restrictions, so they are earned over a period of years during the
executive&#146;s continued service with us following the option grant date. The Compensation Committee also believes that equity compensation is an integral component of our efforts to attract and retain exceptional executives, senior management and
other employees. In 2016, the Compensation Committee determined to add RSUs to our annual grants for executives, in part because the Compensation Committee believes that long-term equity awards composed of a mix of stock options and RSUs may better
align our executive officers&#146; interests with those of our stockholders by minimizing the incentive for inappropriate short-term risk taking at the expense of realizing long-term value. RSUs generally cover fewer shares than the stock options
that we would otherwise grant to deliver a similar value to an executive officer. As a result, RSUs enable the Company to minimize dilution to stockholders. Both stock options and RSUs vest over time, thereby increasing retention value. </FONT></P>

levels provided by our peers. This was done to conserve the number of shares available for future issuance under our 2008 Plan. The Compensation Committee largely took into pay equity concerns into consideration when establishing awards and for that
reason it referenced a weighted average peer group percentile that analyzed such NEOs as a group, which resulted in roughly equal awards to our NEOs other than our CEO, who received larger grants consistent with his role and responsibilities. All
grants to NEOs were made under our 2008 Plan. </FONT></P>

Dr.&nbsp;Benjamin and Ms.&nbsp;Menard are each participants in our change of control severance plan, referred to elsewhere as the Severance Plan, and we have an employment agreement with Mr.&nbsp;Greenman, in each case providing for certain change
of control related severance benefits. For more information regarding our change of control related severance benefits, please see the section below entitled &#147;Employment, Severance and Change of Control Agreements.&#148; The Compensation
Committee believes that these change of control related severance benefits are an important element of our executive compensation and retention program, which has particular importance in the context of a change of control. Change of control
benefits under Mr.&nbsp;Greenman&#146;s employment agreement and the Severance Plan, including stock award vesting acceleration, are structured on a &#147;double-trigger&#148; basis, meaning that the executive officer must experience a constructive
termination or a termination without cause in connection with the change of control in order for the change of control benefits to become due. The Compensation Committee believes that the events triggering payment, comprising both a change of
control and an involuntary termination, and then only when there is no misconduct by the officer, are appropriate hurdles for the ensuing rewards. It is the Compensation Committee&#146;s belief that providing change of control benefits should
eliminate, or at least reduce, the reluctance of our executive officers to diligently consider and pursue potential change of control transactions that may be in the best interests of our stockholders. </FONT></P>

benefits in the event of an involuntary termination without cause not dependent on a change of control, including continued payment of salary and healthcare benefits and full equity award acceleration, in exchange for a general release of claims.
Our Board and Compensation Committee believe that <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">the&nbsp;non-change&nbsp;of</FONT> control related severance benefits provided to our NEOs are an important element of their retention and motivation and are
consistent with compensation arrangements provided in a competitive market for executive talent. It is further believed that the benefits of such severance arrangements, including generally requiring a release of claims against us as a condition to
receiving the severance benefits, are in the best interests of the company. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In April 2018, the Compensation Committee

awards typically vest over a number of years, which we believe encourages our employees to consider sustained stock price appreciation, thus limiting the potential value of excessive risk-taking. </FONT></P>

income tax purposes to no more than $1.0&nbsp;million of compensation paid to certain executive officers in a taxable year. Under tax laws in effect prior to January&nbsp;1, 2018, compensation above $1.0&nbsp;million was generally excluded from the
deduction limitation if it was &#147;performance-based compensation&#148; within the meaning of the Code. The exception from section 162(m)&#146;s deduction limit for &#147;performance-based compensation&#148; has been repealed, effective for
taxable years beginning after December&nbsp;31, 2017, such that compensation paid to our &#147;covered employees&#148; in excess of $1.0&nbsp;million per taxable year will not be deductible unless it qualifies for transition relief applicable to
certain arrangements in place as of November&nbsp;2, 2017. While the Compensation Committee is mindful of the potential benefit to our performance of full deductibility of compensation, the Compensation Committee believes that it should not be
constrained by the requirements of Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code where those requirements would impair flexibility in compensating our executive officers in a manner that can best promote our corporate objectives. Therefore, the Compensation
Committee has not adopted a policy that requires that all compensation be deductible and because of certain ambiguities and uncertainties as to the application and interpretation of Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code and the regulations issued
thereunder, including the uncertain scope of the transition relief under the legislation repealing the &#147;performance-based compensation&#148; exception from the deduction limit, no assurance can be given that compensation intended to satisfy the
requirements for the &#147;performance-based compensation&#148; exception under Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code in fact will. We and the Compensation Committee intend to continue to evaluate the effects of the compensation limits of
Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code and to grant compensation awards in the future in a manner consistent with the best interests of the company and our stockholders. The Compensation Committee also reserves the right to modify compensation that was
initially intended to satisfy the requirements for the &#147;performance-based compensation&#148; exception under Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code if it determines that such modifications are consistent with the Company&#146;s business needs.

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Employment Agreements</B>. We do not have employment agreements currently in effect with any of our named executive officers. However,
from time to time, we have provided an offer letter in connection with an executive officer&#146;s commencement of employment, which describes such executive officer&#146;s initial terms of employment, and we have in other situations provided
similar letter agreements to our executive officers based on changed circumstances, including promotions. For a description of these letter agreements, please see the section under the heading &#147;Employment, Severance and Change of Control
Agreements&#148; below. As described in that section, the letter agreements for Messrs. Greenman and Green also provide for change of control and/or severance benefits. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Annual Bonus Plan</B>. Our Bonus Plan provides for annual bonus award opportunities to reward executive officers for performance in the prior fiscal year. For a description of our Bonus Plan, please

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>RSU and Option Awards</B>. In addition to salary and short-term incentive compensation under our Bonus Plan, we provide our executive officers with long-term incentives, in the form of RSUs and stock
options. RSUs granted in 2017 were granted under our 2008 Plan. These RSUs vest, subject to continued service with us, in three equal installments on each anniversary of the vesting commencement date. Stock options in 2017 were also granted under
our 2008 Plan and generally have <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">a&nbsp;ten-year&nbsp;term.</FONT> These stock options vest, subject to continued service with us, as to 12.5% of the shares subject to the award on the six month anniversary of the
vesting commencement date and then in 42 equal monthly installments thereafter, and are therefore fully exercisable within four years of the grant date. All options granted in 2017 were granted with an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market

2005, and amended and restated as of December&nbsp;11, 2008, we adopted a change of control severance benefit plan, or the Severance Plan, that provides for severance benefits as a result of termination of employment in particular circumstances in
connection with a change of control and is described in more detail under the heading &#147;Employment, Severance and Change of Control Agreements&#148; below. Each of Drs.&nbsp;Corash and Benjamin, Mr.&nbsp;Green and Ms.&nbsp;Menard are
participants in the Severance Plan. In April 2018, the Compensation Committee approved amendments to the Severance Plan to clarify that the vesting acceleration benefits provided for therein extend to all equity awards granted to the applicable
executive by Cerus. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>401(k) Plan</B>. Our 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan, or the 401(k) Plan, enables eligible employees to
save for retirement. As well as retirement benefits, the 401(k) Plan provides certain benefits in the event of death, disability, or other termination of employment. The 401(k) Plan is for the exclusive benefit of eligible employees and their
beneficiaries. The 401(k) Plan allows employees to shelter a percentage of their income from taxes and choose from a number of investment funds while saving for retirement. All employees who are not residents of Puerto Rico, covered by a collective
bargaining agreement for which retirement benefits have been the subject of good faith negotiations, a leased employee or a nonresident alien with no income from a U.S. source are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan on the first day of the
month following their date of hire. Enrollments are effective and contributions can begin on the first day of the month after hire. The 401(k) Plan has a rollover feature and also allows for borrowing against the balance in the account. Employees
can <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">make&nbsp;pre-tax&nbsp;dollar</FONT> contributions of up to 60% of their eligible pay up to a maximum cap established by the IRS unless their participation level is limited by
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">IRS&nbsp;non-discrimination&nbsp;testing</FONT> requirements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A variety of investment funds
are available and money can be allocated among them as employees wish, in any percentage increments. Deferral amount elections may be made and/or changed on a monthly basis. With some limitations, employees may change their investment choices daily.

restated as of December&nbsp;11, 2008, we adopted the Severance Plan, that provides for severance benefits as a result of termination of employment in particular circumstances in connection with a change of control. At the time the Severance Plan
was put in place, each of our executive officers with an individually negotiated agreement providing for severance benefits was given the option of participating in the Severance Plan or continuing to receive the severance benefits provided for in
his agreement. Mr.&nbsp;Greenman and Dr.&nbsp;Corash each opted to participate in the Severance Plan. In connection with Mr.&nbsp;Greenman&#146;s appointment as our President and Chief Executive Officer, however, he entered into the employment
letter described above and is no longer a participant in the Severance Plan. Dr.&nbsp;Benjamin, Mr.&nbsp;Green and Ms.&nbsp;Menard are also participants in the Severance Plan. The Severance Plan provides for the payment of certain benefits to
certain eligible employees in exchange for an effective release of claims in the event the employee is terminated by us without cause or by him or her as a good reason resignation on or within 12 months following a change of control (as such terms
are defined in the Severance Plan). The severance compensation consists of a lump sum cash severance payment equal to 12 months of the participant&#146;s annual base salary (excluding incentive pay, premium pay, commissions, overtime, bonuses and
other forms of variable compensation) as in effect during the last regularly scheduled payroll period immediately preceding the termination event. Additionally, the Severance Plan provides for paid COBRA premiums for continuation coverage (including
coverage for his eligible dependents) for 12 months and full accelerated vesting and exercisability of all of the participant&#146;s then-outstanding equity awards. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%;padding-bottom:0px; "><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Compensation Committee reviews director compensation on a periodic basis. In late 2015, the Compensation
Committee engaged Radford Consulting to provide an assessment of the compensation of our Board. Based on that assessment, the Board made no changes to the then-current cash compensation arrangements for our directors, as further described below.
However, the equity component of our director compensation program, which provides for the automatic grant of equity awards on the date of each our annual meetings, was modified in 2016 to provide each continuing director with an annual grant with a
total value of $115,000, divided equally between stock options and RSUs, with the exception of our Chair, who would receive a grant with a total value of $140,000, divided equally between stock options and RSUs. For 2017, however, based on data
provided by Radford Consulting in connection with their 2017 engagement, our Board reduced the aggregate value of the annual grants for continuing directors from $115,000 to $100,000 and from $140,000 to $125,000 for the Chair of our Board, still
divided equally between stock options and RSUs. The new values generally approximated the 50</FONT><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP STYLE="vertical-align:baseline; position:relative; bottom:.8ex">th</SUP></FONT><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&nbsp;percentile of our then peer group. The number of shares subject to each award is determined by dividing the target dollar value by (a)&nbsp;in the case of stock options, the Black-Scholes value of a
stock option share, determined using our average closing stock price for the 30 trading days preceding the grant date, and (b)&nbsp;in the case of RSUs, our average closing stock price for the 30 trading days preceding the grant date. As a result,
each of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">our&nbsp;non-employee&nbsp;directors</FONT> received <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">a&nbsp;non-qualified&nbsp;stock</FONT> option grant covering 38,005 shares of our common stock, or 47,507 shares in the
case of the Chair of the Board, and an RSU grant covering 15,853 shares, or 19,816 shares in the case of the Chair of the Board, on the date of the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. These equity grants were made pursuant to the terms of the 2008
Plan. Stock options granted to our directors had an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant and a term of ten years. Under our director compensation program, the automatic annual stock option grants
vest in twelve equal monthly installments following the date of grant, provided that the final vesting date will be the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of grant or the day prior to the next annual meeting, subject to the director&#146;s
continuous service with us through the applicable vesting date. 100% of the shares subject to&nbsp;automatic annual RSU&nbsp;grants vest&nbsp;on the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of grant or the day prior to the next annual
meeting,&nbsp;subject to the director&#146;s continuous service with us through the vest date. In the event of a change in control, the directors&#146; awards will become fully vested. In order to be eligible for an automatic annual grant of equity
awards, each <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-employee</FONT> director must have been a member of the Board for at least 12 months prior to the date of the applicable annual meeting grant date and must also be continuing on as a <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-employee</FONT> director following such date. In 2018, again, based on additional data provided by Radford Consulting, the Board increased the aggregate value of the annual grants for continuing directors from $100,000
to $125,000 and from $125,000 to $156,000 for the Chair of our Board, still divided equally between stock options and RSUs. As with the modification of the value of the annual grants in 2017, the new values generally approximated the 50</FONT><FONT

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In July 1996, the Board authorized us to enter into indemnity agreements with each of our directors, executive officers and controller.
The form of indemnity agreement provides that we will indemnify against any and all expenses of the indemnified person who incurred such expenses because of his or her status as a director, executive officer or controller, to the fullest extent
permitted by our bylaws and Delaware law. In addition, our bylaws provide that we shall indemnify our directors and executive officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Delaware law, subject to certain limitations, and may also secure
insurance, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, on behalf of any director, officer, employee or agent against any expense, liability or loss arising out of his or her actions in such capacity. On April&nbsp;24, 2009, the Board approved a
new standard form of indemnity agreement and authorized us to enter into the new indemnity agreement with each of our directors, officers, employees and other agents. The new form of indemnity agreement continues to provide that we will indemnify
against any and all expenses of the indemnified person who incurred such expenses because of his or her status as a director, officer, employee or other agent, to the fullest extent permitted by our bylaws and Delaware law. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains certain provisions relating to the limitation of liability of directors.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that a director shall not be personally liable to our stockholders or us for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i)&nbsp;for any breach
of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to our stockholders or us, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock
repurchases or redemptions or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an improper benefit. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability
of a director, then the liability of a director shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended. The provision in the amended and restated certificate of incorporation does not
eliminate the duty of care and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-monetary</FONT> relief will remain available under Delaware law. The provision also does not
affect a director&#146;s responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws. </FONT></P>
