Stock Options

The Company periodically grants stock options to employees and directors in accordance with the provisions of our stock option plans, with the exercise price of the stock options being set at or above the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.
In our stock option plans, the exercise price of the awards are established by the administrator of the plan and, in the case of incentive stock options ("ISOs") issued to employees who are less than 10% stockholders. The per share exercise price must be equal to at least 100% of the fair market value of a share of the common stock on the date of grant or not less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares in the case of an employee who is a 10% stockholder. The administrator of the plan determines the terms and provisions of each award granted, including the vesting schedule, repurchase provisions, rights of first refusal, forfeiture provisions, form of payment, payment contingencies and satisfaction of any performance criteria.
The weighted average fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted average assumptions during the six and three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

The risk free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yields for securities in effect at the time of grants with terms approximating the expected life of the grants. The expected option lives and forfeiture rates are estimated based on the Company’s exercise and employment termination experience. The Company calculates expected volatility for a stock-based grant based on historic daily stock price observations of its common stock during the period immediately preceding the grant that is equal in length to the expected term of the grant. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model are highly subjective and can materially affect the resulting valuations.
