Compensatory Equity Incentive Plan and Other Equity Incentives | 7. Compensatory Equity Incentive Plan and Other Equity Incentives Share-Based Compensation Arrangements — The Plan includes several available forms of stock compensation of which incentive stock options and restricted stock awards. Stock based compensation is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period. We estimate the fair value of each stock option as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model. Most options granted under the Plan vest ratably over two to four years and generally have ten-year contract lives. The volatility rate is based on four-year historical trends in common stock closing prices and the expected term was determined based primarily on historical experience of previously outstanding options. The interest rate used is the U.S. Treasury interest rate for constant maturities. The likelihood of meeting targets for option grants that are performance based are evaluated each quarter. If it is determined that meeting the targets is probable then the compensation expense will be amortized over the remaining vesting period. The LightPath Technologies, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2014 ESPP”) was adopted by our board of directors on October 30, 2014 and approved by our stockholders on January 29, 2015. The 2014 ESPP permits employees to purchase shares of our Class A common stock through payroll deductions, which may not exceed 15% of an employee’s compensation, at a price not less than 85% of the market value of our Class A common stock on specified dates (June 30 and December 31). In no event can any participant purchase more than $25,000 worth of shares of Class A common stock in any calendar year and an employee cannot purchase more than 8,000 shares on any purchase date within an offering period of 12 months and 4,000 shares on any purchase date within an offering period of six months. A discount of $943 and $846 for the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, is included in the selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income, which represents the value of the 10% discount given to the employees purchasing stock under the 2014 ESPP Plan. These plans are summarized below:

Grant Date Fair Values and Underlying Assumptions; Contractual Terms — We estimate the fair value of each stock option as of the date of grant. We use the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model. The 2014 ESPP fair value is the amount of the discount the employee obtains at the date of the purchase transaction. For stock options granted in the six month periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, we estimated the fair value of each stock option as of the date of grant using the following assumptions:
|  | Six months |  |  | Six months |
|  | December 31, 2016 |  |  | December 31, 2015 |
Weighted average expected volatility |  |  | 80% - 82% |  |  |  | 68% - 103% |
Dividend yields |  |  | 0% |  |  |  | 0% |
Weighted average risk-free interest rate |  |  | 1.185% - 1.19% |  |  |  | 0.37% - 1.49% |
Weighted average expected term, in years |  |  | 7.49 |  |  |  | 4.75 |
Most options granted under the Plan vest ratably over two to four years and are generally exercisable for ten years. The assumed forfeiture rates used in calculating the fair value of options and restricted stock unit (“RSU”) grants with both performance and service conditions were 20% for each of the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. The volatility rate and expected term are based on seven-year historical trends in Class A common stock closing prices and actual forfeitures. The interest rate used is the U.S. Treasury interest rate for constant maturities.
