Grants of restricted common stock and stock-settled appreciation rights are made to certain officers and key employees under the 2004 LTIP Plan. The restrictions on the awards generally lapse annually, primarily over four year periods. The compensation is being charged to selling, general and administrative expense over the respective grants' vesting periods, primarily on a straight-line basis.  Stock based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30 was approximately $2.7 million in 2013 and $1.9 million in 2012. The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding restricted common stock grants was $10.7 million at September 30, 2013. The aggregate intrinsic value of vested and outstanding stock-settled appreciation rights at September 30, 2013 was approximately $0.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively.
As of September 30, 2013, the remaining unamortized compensation cost related to unvested equity awards was approximately $5.1 million and scheduled to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.7 years.
