20. EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

On August 22, 2007, the Company adopted an Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Directors, and Consultants in the form of Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options. Stock Purchase Rights, time vested and/performance invested Restricted Stock, and Stock Appreciation Rights and Unrestricted Shares may also be granted under the Plan. The initial maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Plan shall be 297 shares, and no more than 75 Shares of Common Stock may be granted to any one Participant with respect to Options, Stock Purchase Rights and Stock Appreciation Rights during any one calendar year period. Common Stock to be issued under the Plan may be either authorized and unissued or shares held in treasury by the Company. The term of the Plan shall be ten years. The Board of Directors may amend, alter, suspend, or terminate the Plan at any time. All 297 options were issued under the plan prior to January 1, 2010, and to-date all remain outstanding.
