Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has granted options to purchase its common stock to certain employees and directors of the Company and its affiliates under various stock option plans at no less than the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant.  These options are granted for a term not exceeding ten years and are forfeited in the event the employee or director terminates his or her employment or relationship with the Company or one of its affiliates other than by retirement or death.  These options generally vest over five years.  All option plans contain anti-dilutive provisions that permit an adjustment of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock represented by each option for any change in capitalization.

The Company’s stock-based compensation expense was $501,000 and $174,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 respectively and $1,146,000 and $774,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 respectively.
