• | Risk free rate is based on the Treasury Constant Maturity rate closest to the remaining expected life as of the vest/FYE date. |
• | Historical volatility is based on daily price history for each expected life (years) prior to each vest/FYE date. Closing prices provided by S&P Capital IQ are adjusted splits. |
• | Represents annual dividend yield on each vest/FYE date. |

• | ISOs and NSOs. Stock options provide for the purchase of shares of common stock in the future at an exercise price set by the board of directors on the grant date. ISOs are stock options that by their terms qualify for, and are intended to qualify for, favorable U.S. federal tax treatment. NSOs are stock options that by their terms either do not qualify for or are not intended to qualify as ISOs. The board of directors may grant ISOs only to employees of the Company or a subsidiary at the time of grant. The exercise price of each NSO will be determined by the board of directors in its discretion, but must be at least one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the grant date or otherwise compliant with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The exercise price of an ISO must be at least one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the grant date (although in rare circumstances, the exercise price must be at least 110% of the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the |

• | SARs. SARs entitle the participant, upon exercise, to receive an amount equal to the appreciation of the shares of common stock subject to the Award between the grant date and the exercise date. The exercise price of a SAR will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying share of common stock on the grant date (except with respect to certain substitute SARs granted in connection with a corporate transaction). SARs will not be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the grant date. |
• | Restricted stock and RSUs. Restricted stock is an award of nontransferable shares of common stock that remain forfeitable unless and until specified conditions are met, and which may be subject to a purchase price. RSUs are contractual promises to pay cash or deliver shares of common stock in the future, which also are forfeitable unless and until specified conditions are met. Delivery of the shares underlying RSUs may be deferred under the terms of the Award or at the election of the participant, if the board of directors permits such a deferral. |
• | Stock bonuses. A stock bonus is the issuance of shares of common stock to a participant. The shares of common stock issued pursuant to a stock bonus typically are unrestricted, meaning that they are not subject to vesting requirements. |
• | Performance awards. Performance awards include any of the foregoing Awards that are granted subject to vesting and/or payment based on the attainment of specified performance goals or other criteria the board of directors may determine, which may or may not be objectively determinable. Such performance goals may be based solely by reference to our performance or the performance of a subsidiary, division, business segment or business unit, or based upon performance relative to performance of other companies or upon comparisons of any of the indicators of performance relative to performance of other companies. |
• | Vesting. The board of directors may determine the time and conditions under which the Award will vest and may specify partial vesting in one or more vesting tranches, which may be based solely upon continued employment or service for a specified period of time or may be based upon the achievement of specific performance goals established by the board of directors in its discretion. |
(a) | For an ISO, NSO, or SAR, the time at which the participant has the right to exercise the Award. |
(b) | For restricted stock or RSUs, the time at which all conditions for vesting, as stated in the applicable award agreement or the Plan, are satisfied. |
(c) | For performance shares, the time at which the participant has satisfied the requirements to receive payment on such performance shares, as stated in the applicable award agreement or the Plan. |
(d) | Vesting need not be uniform among Awards granted at the same time or to persons similarly situated. Vesting requirements shall be set forth in the applicable award agreement. |
