(1) Granted under the Company's Non-Employee Director Deferred Stock Unit Program. The deferred stock units covered by this Form 4 represent director fees earned during the quarter ended December 31, 2007, which Mr. Kentor elected to receive in the form of deferred stock units instead of cash.
(2) Each deferred stock unit and each restricted stock unit reflects the right to receive one share of common stock in the future, subject to the terms and conditions of the programs under which such units are granted.
(3) The DSU "payout date" is the earlier of (i) January 4, 2011, or (ii) as soon as administratively practicable following Mr. Kentor's separation from service (but in no event earlier than December 31, 2008).
(4) Not applicable.
(5) Granted pursuant to the automatic grant provisions in effect under the Company's Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Unit Program, under the Company's 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. The restricted stock units will vest as to 100% of the shares subject to the restricted stock units on January 10, 2009 and the related shares will be issued upon Mr. Kentor's separation from service, subject to acceleration in the case of a Change in Control or Corporate Transaction, as such terms are defined in the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan.
