Stock Incentive Plans
Under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated 2007 Performance Incentive Plan (the “2007 Stock Plan”), various stock options and stock awards may be granted to employees of the Company and any of the Company’s subsidiaries, directors of the Company, certain consultants and advisors to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of shares of the Company’s common stock at the grant date. We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with fair value recognition provisions, calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model (“the pricing model”). The weighted-average fair value of non-qualified stock options and the related assumptions used in the pricing model were as follows:
