The Company’s 2002 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as amended, provides for the awarding of stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units to certain key employees, executive officers and non-employee directors. Current awards under the Plan include grants to executive officers and certain key employees of restricted stock units, with vesting contingent upon the completion of specified service periods ranging from one to four years and/or (b) meeting certain financial performance and/or market-based metrics. Shares for the restricted stock units are not issued until they vest.
