33 COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS Director Compensation The structure of our non-employee director pay program in 2013 was generally unchanged from 2012 . Directors who are also employees receive no additional compensation for their service as a director. Directors who were not employees received a fixed annual fee of $60,000 in 2013 and an additional annual fee of $55,000 if they served on one or more Committees of the Board. The Audit Committee chair received an additional $20,000 and all other Committee chairs received an additional $10,000. Dr. Doliveux, Mr. Lance and Ms. Stryker each received $25,000 in 2013 for their service on a special committee formed by the Board in February 2012 to lead a search for a new Chief Executive Officer to replace our previous CEO, who had resigned at that time. Ms. Francesconi received $45,000 for her service as chair of that committee. Mr. Parfet received an additional fee for his services as Non-Executive Chairman, which resulted in his annual cash compensation for all roles in which he serves the Company totaling $300,000. During 2013, we granted each outside director an option to purchase 5,520 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $64.01, equal to the closing price on the last market trading day before the grant date, and 1,380 restricted stock units. The table below sets forth the actual compensation paid during 2013 to our directors who were not employees.
