The Company maintains the 2004 Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”), which was approved by shareholders in April 2004. Executives, eligible employees, consultants and non-employee directors are eligible to receive options and stock grants pursuant to the Equity Plan. Pursuant to the Equity Plan, options to purchase shares of stock and restricted stock awards can be granted with exercise prices, vesting conditions and other performance criteria determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board. The Company initially reserved 1.6 million shares of common stock for issuance under the Equity Plan. At February 28, 2014, the Company had 1,218,311 common shares remaining that can be granted to eligible participants pursuant to the Equity Plan. The Equity Plan expires April 11, 2014, at which time no additional shares may be granted pursuant to the Equity Plan. In January 2014 the shareholders approved the 2014 Incentive Plan, which becomes effective April 12, 2014, to replace the 2004 Equity Plan. The Company has reserved 1.6 million shares of common stock for issuance under the 2014 Incentive Plan.
