Stock Option Plan | STOCK OPTION PLAN The Company established a stock option plan in 1993 (the “1993 Plan”) for the purpose of attracting and retaining executive officers and other key personnel. The 1993 Plan provides for grants of options to purchase up to 400,000 shares of common stock. The 1993 Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors to grant options at an exercise price which may not be less than the market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted. At the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders in 2004, the stockholders approved the adoption of the 2004 stock plan for the purpose of attracting and retaining executive officers, directors and other key personnel. The 2004 stock plan was subsequently amended by the Company’s stockholders at the 2008 Annual Meeting and further amended at the 2013 Annual Meeting (the “Amended 2004 Plan”). The Amended 2004 Plan, which terminates in 2023, provides for grants of options to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock as well as grants of up to 200,000 shares of common stock to directors. The Amended 2004 Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors to grant options at an exercise price which may not be less than the market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted. Effective May 6, 2005, the Compensation Committee granted options to purchase 162,500 shares (35,500 incentive stock options and 127,000 nonqualified stock options) to twelve Company officers and to twelve Company directors (the “2005 Options”), which expire on May 5, 2015. The officers’ 2005 Options vested 25% per year over four years and are subject to early expiration upon termination of employment. The directors’ options were immediately exercisable. The exercise price of $33.22 per share was the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the award. Using the Black-Scholes model, the Company determined the total fair value of the 2005 Options to be $484,500, of which $413,400 and $71,100 were the values assigned to the officer options and director options, respectively.

The expense of the officers’ options was recognized as compensation expense monthly during the four years the options vested.

The intrinsic value of options exercised in 2014, 2013, and 2012, was $2.0 million, $0.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively. The intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at year end 2014 was $9.3 million and $4.7 million, respectively. The intrinsic value measures the difference between the options’ exercise price and the closing share price quoted by the New York Stock Exchange as of the date of measurement. The date of exercise was the measurement date for shares exercised during the period. At December 31, 2014, the final trading day of calendar 2014, the closing price of $57.19 per share was used for the calculation of aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at that date. At December 31, 2014, there were no options with an exercise price in excess of the market closing price. The weighted average remaining contractual life of the Company’s exercisable and outstanding options at December 31, 2014 are 5.4 and 7.0 years, respectively.
