Schedule of Share-based Payment Award, Stock Options, Valuation Assumptions

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model using the weighted-average assumptions in the following table. The Company uses historical data for similar groups of employees in order to estimate the expected life of options granted. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock for a period of years corresponding to the expected life of the option. The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of grant for securities with a maturity period similar to the expected life of the option.

	2016		2015
Expected life (years)	5.0		5.0
Expected volatility	31.1	%	29.8	%
Expected dividend yield	3.8	%	4.1	%
