Stock-Based Compensation Plans | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS Employee Stock Option Plan In 2004, a new Employee Stock Option Plan was approved by shareholders, replacing the prior plan. The Company may grant options for up to 18,000,000 shares under its new Employee Stock Option Plan. The Company has granted options on 15,723,739 shares (net of shares from canceled/expired options) under the new plan through December 31, 2013. Under the plans, the option exercise price equals the stock’s market price on date of grant. The options vest after one to five years, and expire after three to seven years. The fair value of each option grant in the Employee Stock Option Plan was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the indicated periods:
| 2013 |  | 2012 |  | 2011
Dividend yield (1) | 2.6 | % |  | 2.7 | % |  | 2.7 | %
Expected volatility (2) | 44.7 | % |  | 45.5 | % |  | 41.6 | %
Risk-free interest rate (3) | 1.3 | % |  | 0.8 | % |  | 1.4 | %
Expected term of options (in years) (4) | 4.0 |  |  | 4.1 |  |  | 4.2 |
Weighted-average grant-date fair value | $ | 7 |  |  | $ | 6 |  |  | $ | 8 |
(1) Represents the Company's estimated cash dividend yield over the expected term of option grant.
(2) | Amount is determined based on analysis of historical price volatility of the Company's common stock. The expected volatility is based on the daily percentage change in the price of the stock over a period equal to the expected term of the option grant.
(3) Represents the U.S. Treasury yield over the expected term of the option grant.
(4) | Represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Based on analysis of historical option exercise activity, the Company has determined that all employee groups exhibit similar exercise and post-vesting termination behavior.
As of December 31, 2013, there was $24,527,192 of unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based payments which is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting periods, with a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

Restricted Stock Plan In 2008, an amendment to the Company’s Second Restricted Stock Plan was approved by shareholders. The Plan amendment increased the maximum number of shares that may be subject to awards to 2,000,000 shares and to extend the Plan’s termination date to February 21, 2018. The purpose of this plan is to permit grants of shares, subject to restrictions, to key employees of the Company as a means of retaining and rewarding them for long-term performance and to increase their ownership in the Company. Shares awarded under the plan entitle the shareholder to all rights of common stock ownership except that the shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged, exchanged or otherwise disposed of during the restriction period. The restriction period is determined by a committee, appointed by the Board of Directors, but may not exceed ten years. The Company has 768,200 shares outstanding under the plan as of December 31, 2013. During 2013, 2012, and 2011, 187,090, 225,730 and 140,900 shares, respectively, were granted with a restriction period of five years at market prices ranging from $20.23 to $32.83 in 2013, $17.27 to $24.45 in 2012, and $24.96 to $30.25 in 2011, and has unearned stock-based compensation of $9,762,379 associated with these restricted stock grants. The unearned stock-based compensation related to these grants is being amortized to compensation expense over the applicable restriction periods. Amortization expense of restricted stock for years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $2,760,446, $2,108,583. and 2,039,377 respectively.
