STOCK OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED STOCK

G. STOCK OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED STOCK

The Company has one stock-based compensation plan; the 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan (as most recently amended on August 5, 2010, the “2006 Plan”). Grants still remain outstanding under the Company’s previous 1992 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1992 Plan”); however, as a result of the adoption of the 2006 Plan, no further grants can be made under the 1992 Plan.

Under the terms of the 2006 Plan, up to 5,750,000 shares of common stock were available for the granting of awards; provided, however, that the maximum number of shares available for the granting of awards other than stock options and stock appreciation rights, or SARs, cannot exceed 3,750,000 shares. The terms of the 2006 Plan provide for grants of stock options, SARs, restricted stock, deferred stock, other stock-related awards and performance awards that may be settled in cash, stock or other property.

The 2006 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee, all of the members of which are non-employee directors who qualify as independent under the listing standards of the Nasdaq Global Select Market. The Compensation Committee makes all determinations with respect to amounts and conditions covering awards. Options are not granted at a price less than fair value on the date of the grant. Options granted to employees and executives typically vest over three years and options granted to non-employee directors vest over two years. Generally, options expire ten years from the date of grant; however, the Company has granted certain option awards to Messrs. Levin and Hernreich with a maturity date limited to four years.

Non-Employee Director Stock Purchase Plan

In January 2010, the Company established a Non-Employee Director Stock Purchase Plan to provide a convenient method for its non-employee directors to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock at fair market value by voluntarily electing to receive shares of common stock in lieu of cash for service as a director. The substance of this plan is now encompassed within the Company’s Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan.
