6. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2016

The Company has a stock incentive plan, originally created in 1992, and most recently amended in 2001. No additional grants may be made under the plan. All stock options have an exercise price that is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date the options were granted. Administration of the plan, including determination of the number, term, and type of options to be granted, lies with the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors. Options were generally granted based on employee performance with vesting periods ranging from date of grant to seven years. At the date of the grant, the maximum term before expiration is ten years.

The following table presents information related to the value of outstanding stock options for the period shown:
