NOTE 4
STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
The Company has also granted non-qualified stock options to employees and contractors. All non-qualified options are generally issued with an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of the grant. Options may be exercised up to ten years following the date of the grant, with vesting schedules determined by the Company upon grant. Vesting periods range from 100% fully vested upon grant to a range of four to five years. Vested options may be exercised up to three months following date of termination of the relationship. The fair values of options are determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The estimated fair value of options is recognized as an expense on the straight-line basis over the options’ vesting periods.

Expected volatility for 2013 was estimated by using the Dow Jones U.S. Industry indexes sector classification methodology for industries similar to the Company. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the grant date. The expected life of the options is based on management’s estimate using historical experience.
