–Based Compensation
 
In
June 2010,
the Company's Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved the Company’s
2010
Stock Incentive Plan (the
“2010
Plan”), which became effective in
November 2010.
The
2010
Plan provides for the grants of restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and stock unit awards to employees, non-employee directors, advisors and consultants. The compensation committee of the Board administers the
2010
Plan, including the determination of the recipient of an award, the number of shares subject to each award, whether an option is to be classified as an incentive stock option or nonstatutory option, and the terms and conditions of each award, including the exercise and purchase prices and the vesting or duration of the award. Options granted under the
2010
Plan are exercisable only upon vesting. At
March 31, 2019,
6,232,297
shares of common stock have been reserved for future grants under the
2010
Plan.

The intrinsic value of options outstanding, exercisable and vested and expected to vest is calculated based on the difference between the exercise price and the fair value of the Company’s common stock as of the respective balance sheet dates.
 
The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the
three
months ended
March 
31,
2019
and
2018
was
$2,745
and
$3,208,
respectively. The intrinsic value of exercised options is calculated based on the difference between the exercise price and the fair value of the Company’s common stock as of the exercise date. Cash received from the exercise of stock options was
$646
and
$291
for the
three
months ended
March 
31,
2019
and
2018,
respectively.
 
Restricted Stock Units
 
The Company granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to members of the Board and its employees. Most of the Company’s outstanding RSUs vest over
four
years with vesting contingent upon continuous service. The Company estimates the fair value of RSUs using the market price of the common stock on the date of the grant. The fair value of these awards is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
 
The following table summarizes information regarding outstanding RSUs:

The RSUs include performance-based stock units subject to achievement of pre-established revenue goal and earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis. Once the goals are met, the performance-based stock units are subject to
four
years of vesting from the original grant date, contingent upon continuous service. The total performance-based units that vested for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
and
2018
was
4,375
and
35,644,
respectively. As of
March 31, 2019,
the total performance-based units outstanding was
85,234.
 
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
 
In
December 2011,
the Company adopted the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). Participants purchase the Company's stock using payroll deductions, which
may
not
exceed
15%
of their total cash compensation. Pursuant to the terms of the ESPP, the "look-back" period for the stock purchase price is
six
months. Offering and purchase periods will begin on
February 10
and
August 10
of each year. Participants will be granted the right to purchase common stock at a price per share that is
85%
of the lesser of the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the beginning or the end of each
six
-month period.
 
The ESPP imposes certain limitations upon an employee’s right to acquire common stock, including the following: (i)
no
employee shall be granted a right to participate if such employee would own stock possessing
5%
or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company immediately after the election to purchase common stock, and (ii)
no
employee
may
be granted rights to purchase more than
$25
of fair value of common stock in each calendar year. The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock available for purchase under the ESPP is
2,750,000
shares. Total common stock issued under the ESPP during the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
and
2018
was
121,549
and
177,771,
respectively.
 
The fair value of the ESPP purchases is estimated at the start of the offering period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

prior to the consideration of expected forfeitures, is approximately
$113,412
and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of
2.19
years.
