Weighted Average Assumptions

The Company calculates the fair value of stock option grants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of stock-based payment awards require the use of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the stock-based payment awards and stock price volatility. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, but the estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, its stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. The weighted average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model or the calculation of compensation were as follows for the years ended December 31.

	2013	2012	2011
Expected term	4.4-6.3 years	4.0-6.6 years	3.4-6.9 years
Volatility	51%-54%	49%-56%	46%-56%
Risk-free rate of return	0.74%-1.32%	0.59%-1.23%	0.48%-2.82%
Dividend yield	0.25%	—%	—%
Forfeiture rate	0%-5.97%	0%-6.1%	0%-6.26%
