7. | Stock-based Compensation
In the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved grants under the Company’s Long Term Incentive Plan for an aggregate of 1,846,089 stock options and an aggregate of 1,493,594 RSUs to certain employees of the Company. The stock options vest monthly over four years, and the RSUs vest annually over three years, in equal increments. The Company recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to the Company’s employees, consultants and directors based on estimated fair values. The valuation of stock option awards is determined at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Model. This model requires inputs such as the expected term of the option, expected volatility and risk-free interest rate. To establish an estimate of expected term, the Company considers the vesting period and contractual period of the award and its historical experience of stock option exercises, post-vesting cancellations and volatility. The estimate of expected volatility is based on the Company’s historical volatility. The risk-free rate is based on the yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues. The forfeiture rate impacts the amount of aggregate compensation for both stock options and RSUs. To establish an estimate of forfeiture rate, the Company considers its historical experience of option forfeitures and terminations. The fair value of the stock options granted was estimated based on the following weighted average assumptions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:
|  | Three months ended September 30, |  |  | Nine months ended September 30, |
|  | 2014 |  |  | 2013 |  |  | 2014 |  |  | 2013 |
