The Company maintains a stock option plan under which certain employees are awarded option grants based on a combination of performance and tenure.  The stock option plan provides for the grant of up to 2,000,000 shares. All options may be exercised for a period up to 5 years following the grant date, after which they expire. Options are vested in 4 or 5 years from the grant date.
