Consistent with prior years, the Company granted stock options under its LTIP plan that are subject only to time vesting over a three-year period in the first quarters of 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Also, in connection with a transition of key employees in the Company during the second quarter of 2012, stock options were granted that are also subject only to time vesting over a three-year period. For the purposes of determining the fair value of stock option awards, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the assumptions set forth in the table below:

   For the Year Ended December 31, June 30,  
   2013  2012  2011  2010  2012  
 Stock option awards 29,302  37,965  36,835  110,939  2,192  
 Dividend yield 2.49% 3.09% 5.00% 5.10% 2.69% 
 Expected volatility 57.28% 69.90% 62.13% 53.72% 69.09% 
 Risk-free interest rate 0.63% 0.61% 1.99% 2.85% 0.58% 
 Expected term (years) 4.0  4.0  5.0  6.0  4.0  

These awards are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting period of each award. The compensation expense recorded on each award during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, is as follows:

   Year Ended December 31,  
   2013  2012  2011  
 2013 Stock option awards$174 $0 $0  
 2012 Stock option awards$189 $167 $0  
 2011 Stock option awards$138 $164 $139  
 2010 Stock option awards$16 $193 $224  

Activity of nonvested shares granted under the Company's LTIP plan is shown below:

 Forfeited(6,638) $41.70 
 Nonvested awards, December 31, 2013115,984 $47.27 

The fair value of the nonvested stock is based on the trading price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The Company adjusts the grant date fair value for expected forfeitures based on historical experience for similar awards. As of December 31, 2013, unrecognized compensation expense related to these awards was $2,772, to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 2.32 years.

Activity of nonvested restricted stock units granted under the Company's LTIP plan is shown below:

 Granted1,918 $62.39 
 Nonvested awards, December 31, 20134,018 $49.71 

The fair value of the nonvested restricted stock units is based on the trading price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The Company adjusts the grant date fair value for expected forfeitures based on historical experience for similar awards. As of December 31, 2013, unrecognized compensation expense related to these awards was $114 to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 2.16 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In 2000, the Board adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) whereby employees may purchase Company stock through a payroll deduction plan. Purchases are made from the plan and credited to each participant's account at the end of each month, the “Investment Date.” The purchase price of the stock is 85% of the fair market value on the Investment Date. The plan is compensatory and the 15% discount is expensed on the Investment Date. All employees, including officers, are eligible to participate in this plan. A participant may withdraw all uninvested payment balances credited to a participant's account at any time. An employee whose stock ownership of the Company exceeds five percent of the outstanding common stock is not eligible to participate in this plan.

2013 Director Stock Ownership Plan

In March 2013, the Company adopted the 2013 Director Stock Ownership Plan (the “Plan”), subject to the approval by the Company's shareholders at the annual meeting, to encourage the Directors to increase their investment in the Company. The Plan was approved at the Company's May 2013 shareholders' meeting. The Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 75,000 shares of Quaker common stock in accordance with the terms of the Plan in payment of all or a portion of the annual cash retainer payable to each of the Company's non-employee directors in 2013 and subsequent years during the term of the Plan. Under the Plan, each director who, on May 1st of the applicable calendar year, owns less than 400% of the annual cash retainer for the applicable calendar year, divided by the average of the closing price of a share of Quaker Common Stock as reported by the composite tape of the New York Stock Exchange for the previous calendar year (the “Threshold Amount”), is required to receive 75% of the annual cash retainer in Quaker common stock and 25% of the retainer in cash, unless the director elects to receive a greater percentage of Quaker common stock (up to 100%) of the annual cash retainer for the applicable year. Each director who owns more than the Threshold Amount may elect to receive common stock in payment of a percentage (up to 100%) of the annual cash retainer. The annual retainer is $50 and the retainer payment date is June 1. The Plan was adopted in order to replace the 2003 Director Stock Ownership Plan, which expired in May 2013.
