The fair value of options granted determined using the Black-Scholes model used the following weighted-average assumptions:

Expected dividend yield	0	%	0	%	0	%	0	%

The total stock-based compensation amounts for 2013 and 2012 disclosed above are recorded in their respective line items within operating expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. No stock-based compensation was capitalized as part of the cost of an asset as of September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012. As of September 30, 2013, we had $8.1 millionof total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to stock awards. The unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3years.
