(12) Stock-Based Compensation

        As of December 31, 2014, the Company maintains one stock incentive plan, the Second Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2004 Stock Incentive Plan"). Under this plan, key employees have been granted nonqualified stock options to purchase the Company's Class A common stock. Options typically become exercisable over a four-year period at the rate of 25% per year and expire ten years after the grant date. However, most options granted in 2014 become exercisable over a three-year period at a rate of one-third per year. Options granted under the plan may have exercise prices of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the Class A common stock on the date of grant. The Company's current practice is to grant all options at fair market value on the grant date. At December 31, 2014, 1,706,591 shares of Class A common stock were authorized for future grants of new equity awards under the Company's 2004 Stock Incentive Plan.

        The Company grants shares of restricted stock and deferred shares to key employees and stock awards to non-employee members of the Company's Board of Directors under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. Stock awards to non-employee members of the Company's Board of Directors vest immediately. Employees' restricted stock awards and deferred shares typically vest over a three-year period at the rate of one-third per year, except that most restricted stock awards and deferred shares granted in 2014 vest over a two-year period at the rate of 50% per year.

        Beginning in 2014, the Company granted performance stock units to key employees under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. Performance stock units cliff vest at the end of a three-year performance period. Upon vesting, the number of shares of the Company's Class A common stock awarded to each performance stock unit recipient will be determined based on the Company's attainment of certain performance goals set at the time the performance stock units were granted. The performance goals for the 2014 performance stock units are based on the compound annual growth rate of the Company's revenue over the three-year performance period and the Company's return on invested capital ("ROIC") for the third year of the performance period. The performance period for the 2014 performance stock units is January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016. The 2014 performance stock units also provide an overall minimum ROIC threshold, which the Company must exceed in order for any shares of the Company's Class A common stock to be earned. The number of shares of Class A common stock that may be earned by a performance stock unit recipient ranges from 0% to 200% of a target number of shares designated for each recipient at the time of grant. The performance stock units are amortized to expense over the vesting period based on the Company's expected performance relative to the performance goals. If such goals are not met, no awards are earned and previously recognized compensation expense is reversed.

        The Company also has a Management Stock Purchase Plan that allows for the granting of restricted stock units (RSUs) to key employees. On an annual basis, key employees may elect to receive a portion of their annual incentive compensation in RSUs instead of cash. Each RSU provides the key employee with the right to purchase a share of Class A common stock at 67% of the fair market value on the date of grant. RSUs vest either annually over a three- year period from the grant date or upon the third anniversary of the grant date and receipt of the shares underlying RSUs is deferred for a minimum of three years or such greater number of years as is chosen by the employee. An aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Class A common stock may be issued under the Management Stock Purchase Plan. At December 31, 2014, 913,526 shares of Class A common stock were authorized for future grants under the Company's Management Stock Purchase Plan.

2004 Stock Incentive Plan

        At December 31, 2014, total unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested stock options was approximately $5.6 million with a total weighted average remaining term of 2.2 years. For 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized compensation cost of $2.6 million, $3.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

        As of December 31, 2014, the aggregate intrinsic value of exercisable options was approximately $3.0 million, representing the total pre-tax intrinsic value, based on the Company's closing Class A common stock price of $63.44 as of December 31, 2014, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for 2014, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $8.2 million, $7.4 million and $5.7 million, respectively.

        Upon exercise of options, the Company issues shares of Class A common stock.

        The fair value of each option granted under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan is estimated on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes-Merton Model, based on the following weighted average assumptions:

        The risk-free interest rate is based upon the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of grant for the respective expected life of the option. The expected life (estimated period of time outstanding) of options and volatility were calculated using historical data. The expected dividend yield of stock is the Company's best estimate of the expected future dividend yield.

        The above assumptions were used to determine the weighted average grant-date fair value of stock options of $20.04, $20.30 and $13.49 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

        As of December 31, 2014, the aggregate intrinsic values of outstanding and vested RSUs were approximately $2.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, representing the total pre-tax intrinsic value, based on the Company's closing Class A common stock price of $63.44 as of December 31, 2014, which would have been received by the RSUs holders had all RSUs settled as of that date. The total intrinsic value of RSUs settled for 2014, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $1.7 million, $2.8 million and $3.8 million, respectively. Upon settlement of RSUs, the Company issues shares of Class A common stock.

        The fair value of each share issued under the Management Stock Purchase Plan is estimated on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes-Merton Model, based on the following weighted average assumptions:

        The risk-free interest rate is based upon the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of grant for the respective expected life of the RSUs. The expected life (estimated period of time outstanding) of RSUs and volatility were calculated using historical data. The expected dividend yield of stock is the Company's best estimate of the expected future dividend yield.

        The above assumptions were used to determine the weighted average grant-date fair value of RSUs granted of $22.57, $18.05 and $15.68 during 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

        The Company distributed dividends of $0.58 per share for 2014, $0.50 per share for 2013, and $0.44 per share for 2012, respectively, on the Company's Class A common stock and Class B common stock.
