Stockholders' Equity

Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) has authorized a program to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock (“Repurchase Program”).  The purchases are to be made from time to time in the open market or directly from stockholders at prevailing market prices based on market conditions and other factors.  In May 2013, the Board increased the authorized number of shares to be repurchased under the program by one million.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, 476,903 shares were repurchased under the Repurchase Program and 116,931 shares not subject to the Repurchase Program were withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations for the vesting of restricted stock awards.  As of September 30, 2013, we were authorized to repurchase an additional 1,352,569 shares under the program.

The Board declared quarterly dividends in the first three quarters of 2013 and 2012 as follows:
