6. Share-Based Compensation

The Company maintains stock incentive plans pursuant to which it can grant restricted shares, unrestricted shares, incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock units, performance share units ("PSU's") or stock appreciation rights ("SAR's"). A Lattice Binomial pricing model was used to estimate the fair value of stock options and SAR's. The fair value of the PSU's are determined using a Monte Carlo simulation.
