9. Stock-Based Compensation

     In fiscal 2009, the stockholders of the Company approved the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”) and the 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2009 Purchase Plan”). The 2009 Plan is currently effective, and no further grants will be issued under the Company’s 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2000 Plan”) as of the effective date of the 2009 Plan. The 2009 Plan has a term of 10 years from the shareholders’ approval date. The 2009 Purchase Plan became effective upon the termination of the previous Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”), on April 30, 2010.

     Stock-based compensation costs are generally based on the fair values on the date of grant for stock options and on the date of enrollment for the employee stock purchase plans, estimated by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair values of stock awards and restricted stock units (RSUs) generally equal their intrinsic value on the date of grant. There were no stock options granted during the six months ended July 2, 2011 or July 3, 2010.

     The following are the stock-based compensation costs recognized in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (in thousands):
