Stock-Based Compensation [Abstract]

Stock-Based Compensation

8. Stock-Based Compensation

We issue stock-based incentive awards to our eligible employees and Directors under two employee stock ownership plans (the 1993 and 2002 Employee Stock Incentive Plans) and a Director Deferred Stock Ownership Plan. No further awards may be granted under the 1993 Employees Stock Incentive Plan, although awards granted under this plan remain outstanding in accordance with their terms. The 2002 Employee Stock Incentive Plan permits the granting of nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance stock, restricted stock and other stock-based awards.
