Valuation Assumptions

We calculated the fair value of each stock option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions were used for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013		2012
Risk-free interest rate	0.49	%	0.68	%
Expected life (in years)	3.8		3.7
Dividend yield	—	%	—	%
Expected volatility	34	%	41	%

Our computation of expected volatility is based on a combination of historical and market-based implied volatility from traded options on our common stock. Our computation of expected life is based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior. The interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the award is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
