Stock Option Awards

 

The fair value of stock option awards was estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model that used the ranges of assumptions in the following table.  The risk-free interest rates are based upon U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds for the periods during which the options were granted.  The expected term of stock options granted represents the weighted-average period that the stock options are expected to remain outstanding.  The Company has not declared and does not expect to declare dividends on its common stock; accordingly, the dividend yield for valuation purposes is assumed to be zero.  The Company bases its computation of expected volatility upon a combination of historical and market-based implied volatility.
