The Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan allows for the issuance of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock unit, performance award, dividend equivalent, and other stock-based awards to selected employees, officers, directors and consultants, for them to acquire a proprietary interest in the growth and performance of the Company.
