disclosed in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we classify these
securities as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are
recorded at fair value based on current market value. Unrealized
holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are
excluded from earnings, but are included in comprehensive income,
and are reported as a separate component of stockholders&amp;#8217;
equity until realized.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font face=
"Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The unrealized losses on our investments
at the end of the periods were caused by interest rate increases.
Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in
interest rates and not credit quality and because we have the
ability and intent to hold these investments until recovery of the
fair value, which may be maturity, we do not consider these
investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June&amp;#160;30,
2009 and 2008.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font face=
"Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;We lease certain pick-up trucks under
operating leases. These leases typically have a 72-month term and
include an early buy out clause we generally exercise, thereby
giving the leases an effective term of 15-20 months. Certain
operating leases for vehicles contain residual value guarantee
provisions, which could become due at the expiration of the
operating lease agreement if the fair value of the leased vehicles
is less than the guaranteed residual value. The aggregate residual
value at lease expiration, of the leases that contain residual
value guarantees, is approximately $15,480 at June&amp;#160;30, 2009.
We believe the likelihood of funding the guarantee obligation under
any provision of the operating lease agreements is remote, except
for a $2,249 loss on disposal reserve provided at June&amp;#160;30,
2009.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

exercisable over a period of up to eight years. Each option will
terminate, to the extent not previously exercised, 13 months after
the end of the relevant vesting period. No options under either of
these grants were vested as of June&amp;#160;30, 2009.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font face=
"Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;On April&amp;#160;21, 2009, the Compensation
Committee of our Board of Directors approved the grant under our
employee stock option plan, effective at the close of business that
day, of options to purchase approximately 395&amp;#160;thousand shares
of our common stock at a strike price of $54.00 per share. The
closing stock price on the date of grant was $35.22 per share.
These options vest and become exercisable over a period of up to
eight years. Each option will terminate, to the extent not
previously exercised, 13 months after the end of the relevant
vesting period. No options under this grant were vested as of
June&amp;#160;30, 2009.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font face=
"Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Compensation expense equal to the grant
date fair value will be recognized for all of these awards over the
vesting period. The stock-based compensation expense for the six
month periods ended June&amp;#160;30, 2009 and 2008 was $1,900 and
$1,429, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense related to
outstanding stock options as of June&amp;#160;30, 2009 was $20,026 and
is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 6.69
years. Any future changes in estimated forefeitures will impact
this amount.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font face=
"Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The fair value of each share-based
option is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes
valuation method that uses the assumptions noted in the following
table. The expected life is the most significant assumption as it
determines the period for which the risk-free interest rate,
volatility, and dividend yield must be applied. The expected life
is the average length of time over which the employee groups will
exercise their options, which is based on historical experience
with similar grants. Expected volatilities are based on the
movement of the Company&amp;#8217;s stock over the most recent
historical period equivalent to the expected life of the options.
The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate over
the expected life at the time of grant. The dividend yield is
estimated over the expected life based on our current dividend
payout, historical dividends paid, and expected future cash
dividends. The following table illustrates the share price
information and assumptions used to determine fair
value:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
