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 April 27, 2007, the Compensation Committee granted options to purchase 165,000 shares (27,560 incentive stock options and 137,440 nonqualified stock options) to thirteen Company officers and twelve Company Directors (the “2007 options”), which expire on April 26, 2017. The officers’ 2007 Options vest 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 $54.17 per share was the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of award. Using the Black-Scholes model, the Company determined the total fair value of the 2007 Options to be $1.5 million, of which $1.3 million and $285,300 were the values assigned to the officer options and director options, respectively. Because the directors’ options vested immediately, the entire $285,300 was expensed as of the date of grant. The expense for the officers’ options was recognized as compensation expense monthly during the four years the options vested. Effective April 25, 2008, the Compensation Committee granted options to purchase 30,000 shares (all nonqualified stock options) to twelve Company directors (the “2008 Options”), which were immediately exercisable and expire on April 24, 2018.

The intrinsic value of options exercised in 2016, 2015, and 2014, was $3.4 million, $1.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at year end 2016 was $13.9 million and $7.5 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 30, 2016, the final trading day of calendar 2016, the closing price of $66.61 per share was used for the calculation of aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at that date. The weighted average remaining contractual life of the Company’s exercisable and outstanding options at December 31, 2016 are 6.4 and 7.5 years, respectively.
