Note 6 – Equity Incentive Plans

General

DCT’s share-based awards are long-term retention plans that are intended to attract, retain and provide incentives for talented employees.  DCT believes its share-based awards are critical to its operation and productivity. The employee share-based award plans allow DCT to grant, on a discretionary basis, incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options.

The following table sets forth, by the respective option plan, certain aspects of DCT’s stock options as of June 30, 2011:
