Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
To our knowledge, based solely on a review of copies of such reports furnished to us and written representations that no other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with.
CODE OF ETHICS
We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our directors and employees (including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), and have posted the text of the policy on our website (www.monogrambio.com) in connection with “Investor” materials; however, information found on our website is not incorporated by reference into this report.

Item 11.Executive Compensation
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Overview
The goal of our executive compensation program is to provide a structure of incentives and rewards that will drive behavior and performance in a way that builds long-term value for our stockholders. In support of this goal, we have implemented compensation and benefit programs that are designed to:
• | drive and reward performance; |
• | align the interests of management and stockholders; |
7
Table of Contents
• | enable the recruitment and retention of high quality executives; and |
• | provide fair and reasonable levels of compensation. |
We have implemented specific compensation elements to address these objectives. These have included base salary, equity participation, benefits and a cash bonus plan. Some of these are short-term in nature and others are more relevant as longer term incentives and rewards. Our goal is to have a blend of compensation elements that in the aggregate meets the objectives described above.
The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors oversees our executive compensation arrangements, in accordance with a committee charter approved by the Board of Directors.
This discussion sets out our approach to executive compensation. However, overlaid on this approach is the Company’s financial position and the general economic environment in which the Company operates. As a result of these factors, actions have been taken recently to eliminate cash bonus payments for 2008, to not implement a cash bonus program for 2009, and to maintain salaries at their 2008 levels without increases for 2009. In addition, our chief executive officer voluntarily took a salary reduction effective January 1, 2009. These actions are described below.
Reverse stock split
On October 27, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a 6-to-1 reverse stock split, as previously authorized and approved by our stockholders at the September 19, 2007 annual meeting, which became effective on November 4, 2008. The reverse stock split resulted in a reduction in the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options or warrants and the conversion ratios of the respective convertible notes were automatically adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. All stock options reflect the 6-to-1 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock.
Compensation Objectives
The following are the principal objectives of our compensation programs.
Performance – We strive to maintain a performance-oriented culture. Each of our compensation elements are designed to recognize the actual performance and the potential future performance of our executive officers. We expect all of our executive officers to perform to high standards of competence. We also expect them to set and achieve appropriate goals for their area of responsibility and for the company as a whole.
Alignment with Stockholders – We seek to align ourselves with the interests of our stockholders. We do this by setting our goals based on the business milestones that we believe are most likely to drive long term stockholder value and by tying significant elements of executive compensation to our business success. Cash bonuses are designed to acknowledge short term goal accomplishment while over the long-term, executive officers expect to benefit directly from increases in the value of our common stock through equity participation, primarily stock options.
Recruiting and Retention – Building an outstanding organization and delivering excellence in all aspects of our performance requires that we hire and retain, high quality executives. We believe that an environment in which employees are able to have an enjoyable, challenging and rewarding work experience is critical to our ability to recruit and retain the right people. A critical aspect of that environment is the structure of incentives and rewards that are embedded in the compensation structure. We strive to keep this structure competitive so that qualified people are motivated to join our team and to stay at Monogram for long and successful careers.
Fair and Reasonable – We strive to make our compensation programs fair in two ways. First, we aim for fairness internally in relation to other executives and to other employees throughout the organization. Second, we
8
Table of Contents
seek fairness externally in relation to comparable positions in other companies. We also set compensation levels that are reasonable in terms of our overall financial and competitive condition as a company and that reflect the experience, skills and level of responsibility of the executive. We utilize data from the Radford Global Life Sciences Survey for companies nationwide with 150-499 employees to aid in benchmarking our cash compensation levels to outside market conditions. We did not, for 2008, benchmark against a list of specifically identified peer companies, or do we know which specific companies’ data comprises the Radford Global Life Sciences Survey results.
Implementing our Objectives
Roles of the Compensation Committee and Management – The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors operates under a board-approved charter. This charter specifies the principal responsibilities of the committee as follows: (i) to review and approve the overall compensation strategy (including performance goals, compensation plans, programs and policies, employment and similar agreements with executive officers); (ii) to determine the compensation and terms of employment of the chief executive officer and the other executive officers; (iii) to administer and to recommend adoption, change or termination of plans, including option plans, bonus plans, deferred compensation plans, pension plans and (iv) to establish appropriate insurance for the directors and officers. The committee consists of four directors, each of whom satisfies the independence requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market as well as applicable SEC and IRS regulations.
The Chief Executive Officer and the Vice President of Human Resources attend Compensation Committee meetings, except those meetings or portions of those meetings where their respective compensation is being discussed by the committee. The Chief Executive Officer, with the assistance of the Vice President of Human Resources, presents performance assessments of other executive officers to the Compensation Committee and proposes ranges of compensation benefits for each officer based upon each respective assessment. Neither the Company nor the Compensation Committee engaged any third-party consultants regarding 2008 executive compensation. The performance of each of our executive officers is evaluated annually at the end of the calendar year. The chief executive officer’s performance is evaluated by the Compensation Committee and the performance of the other executive officers is evaluated by the chief executive officer and reviewed with the Compensation Committee. The factors taken into account in the evaluation of performance include: the extent to which pre-established goals were accomplished and the extent to which the executive demonstrated leadership, creativity, teamwork and commitment, and embodied our Company values. Other factors that are considered in making compensation determinations are the experience, skill level and level of responsibility of the executive and competitive market conditions.
Equity Grant Practices – All options granted to executive officers must be approved by either the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors. At the time of hire, options are granted effective on the employment start date for the executive. Generally, we assess all of our executive officers on an annual basis for potential additional stock option grants. These annual awards are approved by the Compensation Committee or by the Board of Directors. In 2008, 2007 and 2006, these awards were granted at the first regularly scheduled board meeting of the calendar year, on March 13, 2008, March 29, 2007, and April 7, 2006, respectively. These options vest in accordance with our normal vesting schedule, which is 25% after twelve months and then in equal monthly increments over the remaining three years of a four-year vesting term.
Elements Used to Achieve Compensation Objectives
Base Salary – In determining base salaries for our executive officers, we benchmarked each of our executive positions using the data from the Radford Global Life Sciences Survey for companies nationwide with 150-499 employees. We used the 50th percentile as a general benchmark for salary levels. However, many factors affected the determination of the salary level for individual executives, including performance, experience, skill, responsibilities and competitive market factors. In general, we seek to provide a fair, reasonable and competitive
9
Table of Contents
level of base salary. Salaries were reviewed in January 2008 based on these principles, but for 2009 no salary adjustments were made.
Cash Bonus – While we believe that the provision of short-term cash incentives is important to aligning the interests of executive officers and stockholders, and to the rewarding of performance, we also take into account the overall financial situation of the Company. For 2008, we implemented a cash bonus plan that provided for the payment of cash bonuses based on the Compensation Committee’s assessment of the Company’s performance against specified pre-determined corporate goals for the year including revenue, operational and product development goals, as well as an assessment of individual performance for each executive. The chief executive officer was eligible for a total target bonus of up to 40% of base salary. The other executive officers were each eligible for a total target bonus of up to 30% of base salary. In determining these target bonus percentages, we benchmarked our executives using the Radford Global Life Sciences Survey for companies nationwide with 150-499 employees, with the 50th percentile as a general target for potential bonus levels. In December 2008, on the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer, the Board of Directors determined that no bonuses would be paid for 2008 due to the Company’s cash position and overall financial situation. Furthermore, no cash bonus plan has been implemented for 2009.
Equity Incentive – We utilized stock options as the primary method of equity participation for our executive officers. In the future, we may consider using other forms of equity participation such as restricted stock grants. Equity incentive awards are determined separately and independently from cash-based awards. We determined option grants by reference to our own capitalization structure and to internally generated benchmarks that we established to determine appropriate levels of stock option grants for our employees. These options vest in accordance with our normal vesting schedule, which is 25% after twelve months and then in equal monthly increments over the remaining three years of a four-year vesting term.
Benefits – We provide a competitive range of health and other benefit programs to our executive officers, which are provided on the same basis to the executive officers and all employees. These benefits include health and dental insurance, life and disability insurance, and a 401(k) plan with certain matching contributions made in company stock.
In addition to these benefit programs, we offer a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Those eligible for this plan include members of the board of directors, the executive officers and certain other senior employees. Under this plan, individuals enrolled in the plan can, by election in advance, defer a portion of their total compensation on a pre-tax basis. None of our named executive officers have participated in this plan. There are no special perquisites or benefit programs made available exclusively to any of the executive officers, either individually or as a group.
Relocation – When necessary and appropriate, upon the hire of new executives, we may pay additional amounts in reimbursement of relocation costs and/or as additional compensation to assist with the high cost of housing in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Severance – Under provisions of our chief executive officer’s employment agreement, in the event of termination of employment for reasons other than cause, he is entitled to receive severance benefits, as described below under “Employment, Severance and Change of Control Agreements.” We entered into this agreement with Mr. Young to attract and retain his services. None of our other executive officers have agreements providing for any severance payments, except in the context of a change in control, as described below.
Change in Control – In the event of an actual or constructive termination of employment, other than for cause, within three months before or twenty-four months after a change of control of the Company, our Named Executive Officers will receive severance benefits, as described below under “Employment, Severance and Change of Control Agreements.” We enter into these agreements to help attract and retain key executive talent for the Company.

Compensation of the Named Executive Officers in 2008
William D. Young, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer – Mr. Young’s base salary was set at $499,000 for 2008, an increase of 5% over his salary for 2007. This increase reflected the compensation committee’s assessment of his performance in leading the Company and based on his experience, skills and leadership abilities. Effective January 1, 2009, Mr. Young’s salary was reduced, at his request, to $449,100. No cash bonus was paid to Mr. Young for 2008. At the time of our annual review of stock option grants, on March 13, 2008, Mr. Young was granted an option to purchase 58,333 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.90 per share. This option grant was considered appropriate by the Compensation Committee, taking into account Mr. Young’s performance, role, responsibilities and anticipated contributions to the Company. This option vests in accordance with our normal vesting schedule, which is 25% after twelve months and then in equal monthly increments over the remaining three years of a four-year vesting term.
Alfred G. Merriweather, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; William J. Welch, Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer; Christos J. Petropoulos, Ph.D., Vice President R&D Virology and Chief Scientific Officer; Michael P. Bates, M.D., Vice President Clinical Research – Base salary for the other Named Executive Officers were set for 2008 at the following levels, and represented the stated percentage increase over their salaries for 2007: Mr. Merriweather – $290,000 (5%); Mr. Welch – $310,000 (4%); Dr. Petropoulos – $281,200 (0%); and Dr. Bates – $316,000 (3%). These salaries were set at market levels and also reflect the Compensation Committee’s concurrence with Mr. Young’s assessment of their performance in leading their functions, in execution of pre-established goals for their functions and in contributing to the Company’s overall progress. In the case of Dr. Petropoulos, his responsibilities were reduced in late 2007 from all research and development activities to virology research and development and, accordingly, no salary increase was awarded for 2008. No cash bonuses were paid to any of our Named Executive Officers for 2008 nor have any cash bonus arrangements been put in place for 2009.
At the time of our annual review of stock option grants, on March 13, 2008, the Named Executive Officers were granted options to purchase the following number of shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.90 per share: Mr. Merriweather – 20,832; Mr. Welch – 20,832; Dr. Petropoulos – 12,499; and Dr. Bates – 19,166. These option grants were considered appropriate by the Compensation Committee, taking into account the executives’ performance, roles, responsibilities and anticipated contributions to the Company. These options vest in accordance with our normal vesting schedule, which is 25% after twelve months and then in equal monthly increments over the remaining three years of a four-year vesting term.
In accordance with our agreement with Mr. Welch at the time of his recruitment to be our Chief Commercial Officer in 2005 and his relocation to the San Francisco Bay Area, we paid and continue to pay him certain mortgage assistance payments. In 2008, we paid Mr. Welch $20,000 in mortgage assistance payments and we agreed to extend these assistance payments through 2009.

EMPLOYMENT, SEVERANCE AND CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENTS
William D. Young
We have an amended and restated agreement with William D. Young governing his employment as our Chief Executive Officer. This agreement provides for a base salary initially of $449,100 per year, plus a yearly incentive bonus as part of our bonus program based on objectives established by the Board of Directors after consultation with Mr. Young.
Our agreement with Mr. Young specifies that Mr. Young’s employment is at-will. If we terminate his employment for any reason other than for cause, including in the context of a change of control, however, or if his employment is terminated as a result of death or permanent disability, we have also agreed to continue to pay him his base salary, at the level in effect at the time of termination, for an additional twelve months. If Mr. Young elects to continue his health insurance under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, or COBRA, following the termination of his employment, then we will pay Mr. Young’s monthly premium under COBRA until the earliest of (i) twelve months or (ii) the expiration of Mr. Young’s continuation coverage under COBRA. Upon a specified termination, Mr. Young will be entitled to receive a severance payment equal to (i) the greater of his annual salary for 2008 or his then current base salary, plus (ii) in certain circumstances, the amount of the target bonus established for Mr. Young for the last completed fiscal year immediately preceding the termination.
Executive Severance Agreements and Stock Option Acceleration Provisions
We have entered into executive severance benefits agreements with each of our executive officers other than Mr. Young, which were amended as of December 18, 2008. Upon a specified termination, an executive will be entitled to receive a severance payment equal to (i) the greater of the executive’s annual salary for 2008 (or initial salary, for new executives) or the executive’s annual base salary for the last completed fiscal year immediately preceding the termination, plus (ii) the amount of the target bonus established for the executive for the last completed fiscal year immediately preceding the termination. If the executive elects to continue his health insurance under COBRA following the termination of his employment, then the Company shall pay the executive’s monthly premium under COBRA until the earliest of (i) twelve months or (ii) the expiration of the executive’s continuation coverage under COBRA.
The stock option agreements we have entered into with our executive officers in connection with stock option grants made to them under the 2004 Plan provide for accelerated vesting of the stock option if the executive is terminated without cause or for good reason as of, or within thirteen months after, a change in control. Options granted to executives under our 2000 Equity Incentive Plan, pursuant to the terms of that plan, are also subject to accelerated vesting if the executive is terminated without cause or for good reason as of, or within thirteen months after, a change in control.

Instead, the amounts shown are the compensation costs recognized by the Company in fiscal 2008 for option awards as determined pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (R), or FAS 123(R), adjusted to exclude estimates of forfeitures. The assumptions used to calculate the value of option awards are set forth under Note 8 of the Notes to the Financial Statements included in Monogram’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2008 filed with the SEC on February 13, 2009. |
(c) | Effective March 11, 2008, Mr. Baruch resigned as a member of our board of directors. |
Each of our non-employee directors received an annual retainer of $20,000 in 2008, paid in equal quarterly installments. Additionally, each non-employee director received a fee of $2,000 for each Board of Directors meeting attended in person ($3,000 for directors residing outside of the U.S.), a fee of $500 for each Board of Directors meeting attended by phone and a fee of $500 for each committee meeting attended by committee members. In 2008, the total cash compensation paid to non-employee directors was $198,000, which included a $5,000 annual retainer for the chair of the Audit Committee and an annual retainer of $10,000 for the chair of the Compensation Committee. The members of the Board of Directors are also eligible for reimbursement for their expenses incurred in attending Board meetings in accordance with our policy.
All of our directors are eligible to participate in our 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2004 Plan. Option grants to non-employee directors are discretionary. However, the Board of Directors has adopted a policy pursuant to which it makes initial grants of stock options to new non-employee directors at their time of election to the Board of Directors, and, on an annual basis, grants stock options to its continuing non-employee directors. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, we granted each of our six continuing non-employee director’s options to purchase 20,831 shares of common stock. These options vest monthly over a one-year period; provided that the vesting may accelerate and all shares subject to the options may become immediately exercisable in the event of a Company change in control.

Item 12.Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and generally means that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he or she possesses sole or shared voting or investment power of that security, and includes options, warrants and convertible securities that are currently exercisable or convertible within 60 days of March 1, 2009.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the ownership of our common stock as of March 1, 2009, by: (i) each director and nominee for director; (ii) each of the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table; (iii) all of our executive officers and directors as a group; and (iv) all those known by us to be beneficial owners of more than five percent of our common stock. Some of the information with respect to beneficial ownership has been furnished to us by each director, officer or 5% or more stockholder, as the case may be. Except as otherwise indicated, we believe that the beneficial owners of the common stock listed below, based on the information each of them has given us, have sole investment and voting power with respect to their shares, except where community property laws may apply.
The table lists applicable percentage ownership based on 22,963,153 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 1, 2009. Options and warrants to purchase shares of the common stock and securities convertible into shares of common stock that are exercisable or convertible within 60 days of March 1, 2009 are deemed to be beneficially owned by the persons holding these securities for the purpose of computing percentage ownership of that person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing any other person’s ownership percentage. Shares underlying options, warrants and convertible securities that are deemed beneficially owned are listed in this table separately in the column labeled “Shares Subject to Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities.” These shares are included in the number of shares listed in the column labeled “Total Number.”

Item 13.Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
INDEPENDENCE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
As required under the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) listing standards, a majority of the members of a listed company’s Board of Directors must qualify as “independent,” as affirmatively determined by the Board of Directors. The Board consults with the Company’s counsel to ensure that the Board’s determinations are consistent with relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the definition of “independent,” including those set forth in pertinent listing standards of the NASDAQ, as in effect time to time.
Consistent with these considerations, after review of all relevant transactions or relationships between each director, or any of his or her family members, and the Company, its senior management and its independent auditors, the Board has affirmatively determined that the following six directors are independent directors within the meaning of the applicable NASDAQ listing standards: William Jenkins, M.D., Edmon R. Jennings, Cristina H. Kepner, John D. Mendlein, J.D., Ph.D., David H. Persing, M.D., Ph.D., and Christine A. White, M.D. In making this determination, the Board found that none of these directors or nominees for director had a material or other disqualifying relationship with the Company. William Young, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, is not an independent director by virtue of his employment with the Company.
TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS
Indemnity Agreements
We have entered into indemnity agreements with each of our officers and directors which provide, among other things, that we will indemnify those officers or directors, under the circumstances and to the extent provided for therein, for expenses, damages, judgments, fines and settlements he or she may be required to pay in actions or proceedings to which he or she is or may be made a party by reason of his or her position as a director, officer or other agent of the Company, and otherwise to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law and the Company’s Bylaws. We also intend to enter into these agreements with our future directors and officers.
RELATED-PERSON TRANSACTIONS POLICY AND PROCEDURES
It is our practice and policy to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations regarding related-person transactions, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the NASDAQ listing standards. A related-person is any executive officer, director, or more than 5% stockholder of the Company, including any of their immediate family members, and any entity owned or controlled by such persons. Under its charter, our Audit Committee is charged with reviewing and approving all related-person transactions, as required by the NASDAQ rules. In considering related-person transactions, the Audit Committee takes into account the relevant available facts and circumstances. In the event a director has an interest in the proposed transaction, the director must recuse himself or herself from the deliberations and approval. The Company has not yet adopted a written related-person transactions policy.
Item 14.Principal Accounting Fees and Services
AUDIT FEES
Fees for audit services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP during 2008 totaled $0.81 million. Fees for audit services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP during 2007 totaled $0.84 million. The fees for audit services included fees associated with the annual audit of the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, procedures related to attestation of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting under the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the reviews of Monogram’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other SEC filings.

AUDIT-RELATED FEES
Fees for audit-related services provided in 2008 and 2007 were $0.03 million and $0.16 million, respectively.
TAX FEES
There were no fees for tax-related services in 2008 or 2007 paid to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
ALL OTHER FEES
There were no fees for other services not included above in 2008 or 2007.
All fees described above were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
The Audit Committee has adopted a policy for the pre-approval of audit, review and attest services, as well as permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. The engagement to perform services may be approved on an explicit case-by-case basis before the independent registered public accounting firm is engaged to provide each service or the engagement may be pre-approved on a collective basis. These services may include audit, audit-related, tax and other services. The Audit Committee has delegated specific pre-approval authority for up to $50,000 to Ms. Kepner, the Chair of the Audit Committee. These pre-approvals are reported to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.
The Audit Committee has determined that the rendering of the services other than audit services by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is compatible with maintaining the independent registered public accounting firms’ independence.
