2007 Long Term Incentive Plan The 2007 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2007 Incentive Plan”), provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, and performance awards to acquire shares of our Class A common stock or common stock, or the receipt of other awards based on our performance, to our employees and non-employee directors. We recognize the fair value of stock options granted on the date of grant as compensation expense, and such expense is amortized over the vesting period of the stock option. The 2007 Incentive Plan allows us to grant share-based awards for up to 6.0 million shares of stock, with not more than 1.0 million out of that 6.0 million being Class A common stock and the remaining shares being common stock. As of December 31, 2015, 4.6 million shares of our common stock and 0.5 million shares of our Class A common stock were available for issuance under the 2007 Incentive Plan. Shares of common stock and Class A common stock underlying outstanding options and performance awards are counted as issued under the 2007 Incentive Plan. Under the 2007 Incentive Plan, the options granted typically vest after a two to four-year period and expire three to eight years after vesting. However, options will vest immediately upon a “change in control” as such term is defined in the 2007 Incentive Plan. All options have been granted with purchase prices that equal the market value of the underlying stock at the close of business on the date of the grant. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we granted 150,308 shares of restricted common stock to our employees, of which 50,102 shares vested on January 31, 2016; 50,100 shares will vest on January 31, 2017; and 50,106 shares will vest on January 31, 2018.

Also during the year ended December 31, 2015, we granted 58,191 shares of restricted Class A common stock to our non-employee directors, all of which vested on January 31, 2016.

Also during the year ended December 31, 2014, we granted 41,881 shares of restricted Class A common stock to our non-employee directors, all of which vested on January 1, 2015. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we granted 318,852 shares of restricted common stock to our employees, of which 107,224 shares vested in the year ended December 31, 2013, 70,542 shares vested on each of March 19, 2014 and March 19, 2015 and an additional 70,542 shares will vest on March 19, 2016.

The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding stock options was $3.9 million based on the closing market price of our common stock on December 31, 2015. Directors’ Restricted Stock Plan On May 14, 2003, our stockholders approved a restricted stock equity incentive plan for our Board of Directors (the “Directors’ Restricted Stock Plan”). We have reserved 1.0 million shares of our common stock for issuance under this plan and, as of December 31, 2015, there were 770,000 shares available for future award. Under the Directors’ Restricted Stock Plan, each director can be awarded up to 10,000 shares of restricted stock each calendar year. During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, we did not grant any restricted stock awards under the Directors’ Restricted Stock Plan. As of December 31, 2015, we had $1.9 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to all non-vested share based compensation arrangements. The expense is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.0 years.
