Effective April 2013, the compensation program for our non-employee directors provides for each non-employee director to be paid an annual retainer of $16,000. In addition, the Chairman of the Audit Committee is paid an additional annual retainer of $5,000, the Chairman of the Compensation Committee is paid an additional annual retainer of $3,000, the Chairman of the Nominating Committee is paid an additional annual retainer of $3,000, and the Chairman of the Board is paid an additional annual retainer of $20,000. All directors are reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with their service on our Board of Directors, including the committees thereof. In addition, we are currently authorized to grant nonqualified stock options to purchase 3,000 shares of our common stock per year to each of our non-employee directors under our 2007 Director Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan.&#160;&#160;However, no grants were made under this plan in 2014.</font></div>
