The Omnibus Incentive Plan provides for the grant of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), restricted stock and other stock-based awards, any of which may be performance-based, and for incentive bonuses, which may be paid in cash, Common Stock or a combination thereof.
