Stock Plans

The Company has two active stock-based compensation plans as of March 31, 2013: the 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the 2005 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan under which incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units can be granted to employees and non-employee directors.

Stock Options

Compensation expense recognized from employee stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $177,000 and $544,000, respectively. Beginning in 2011, the Company ceased granting stock options and began granting restricted stock awards to employees as part of its annual equity incentive award program. The Company may determine to grant stock options in the future under the Incentive Plan.

Restricted Stock Awards

During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company issued 305,143 and 249,366 shares, respectively, upon granting of restricted stock awards, which had an average grant date fair value per share of $10.58 and $20.89, respectively. The following table summarizes the amount of compensation expense recognized for restricted stock awards for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

Service-based restricted stock	$	648	$	479
Performance-based restricted stock	18		63
Total compensation expense recognized for restricted stock awards	$	666	$	542

Restricted Stock Units

Beginning in 2011, non-employee directors receive an annual restricted stock unit award as part of their annual retainer compensation, which vests one year from the date of grant. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, non-employee directors were granted a total of 56,616 and 20,342 restricted stock units, respectively, with an average grant date fair value per share of $10.51 and $20.65, respectively.

Total compensation expense recognized for service-based restricted stock unit awards was $114,000 and $106,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) permits substantially all employees to purchase common stock through payroll deductions, at 85% of the lower of the trading price of the stock at the beginning or at the end of each six month offering period commencing on January 1 and July 1. The number of shares purchased is based on participants’ contributions made during the offering period. In 2013, the Company suspended its ESPP Plan because the registration statement on Form S-8 became ineffective as a result of the restatement of the Company's previously issued financial statements (as discussed in Note 2, Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements).

Compensation expense recognized for the ESPP for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was zero and $94,000, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, no shares were issued under the Company's ESPP. The fair value of the ESPP shares was estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model for a call and a put option with the following weighted-average assumptions:
