In 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 Stock Plan (1996 Plan), which expired in 2006. Until 2010, options were outstanding under the 1996 Plan, but, as of December 31, 2011, no options were available for future issuance and no options were outstanding.

In 2000, the Company adopted the 2000 Stock Plan, which was amended in 2004 (Amended 2000 Plan), and terminated in 2010. As of December 31, 2011, no options were available for future issuance under the Amended 2000 Plan and options to purchase approximately 4,006,000 shares were outstanding with a weighted-average exercise price of $4.68 per share. The Amended 2000 Plan will remain in effect as to outstanding equity awards granted under the plan prior to the date of expiration.

In June 2010, the Company's stockholders approved the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (2010 Plan). The 2010 Plan authorizes the board of directors or the compensation committee of the board of directors to grant a broad range of awards including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance-based awards, and restricted stock units. Under the 2010 Plan, 4,000,000 shares were initially reserved for issuance and there will be an automatic annual increase in the share reserve of 500,000 on January 1 of each year. The 2010 Plan has a 10 year term and provides for annual option grants or other awards to our non-employee directors to acquire up to 40,000 shares and for a one-time grant of an option or other award to a non-employee director to acquire up to 120,000 shares upon his or her initial appointment or election to the board of directors.

The term of options granted under the 2010 Plan may not exceed ten years. The term of all incentive stock options granted to a person who, at the time of grant, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of the Company's stock may not exceed five years.

The exercise price of stock options granted under the 2010 Plan must be at least equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. Generally, options granted under the 2010 Plan will vest over a four-year period and will have a six-year term. In addition, the 2010 Plan provides for automatic acceleration of vesting for options granted to non-employee directors upon a change of control of the Company.

The 1996 Plan, Amended 2000 Plan and 2010 Plan are referred to collectively as the "Plans."

The Company may also award shares to new employees outside the Plans, as material inducements to the acceptance of employment with the Company. These grants must be approved by the compensation committee of the board of directors, a majority of the independent directors or an authorized executive officer.

In June 2010, the Company's stockholders approved the 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). A total of 2,000,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the ESPP. The ESPP, which is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code, is administered by the board of directors or the compensation committee of the board of directors. The ESPP provides that eligible employees may purchase up to $25,000 worth of the Company's common stock annually over the course of two six-month offering periods. The purchase price to be paid by participants is 85% of the price per share of the Company's common stock either at the beginning or the end of each six-month offering period, whichever is less. On September 1, 2010, the Company commenced the first offering period under the ESPP. For the year ended December 31, 2011, approximately 310,000 shares of common stock were issued at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.1 million under the ESPP.

The Company recorded $3.8 million, $3.3 million and $3.1 million of stock-based compensation expense in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company is required to present the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized from the exercise of stock options as financing cash flows in the consolidated statements of cash flows. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, there were no such tax benefits associated with the exercise of stock options due to the Company's loss position.

In November 2007, the Company hired a new chief executive officer and the board of directors approved three option grants to this new officer with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. One option grant was for 800,000 shares of common stock and vests in equal amounts monthly for two years from November 8, 2007. The second option grant was for 350,000 shares of common stock and vests as to: i) 80% of these shares if the average closing price of the Company's common stock for any 90-day period is at least $10.00 per share, and ii) the remaining 20% of these shares pro rata for each $0.01 increase in the average price up to $12.00 per share. The third option grant was for 100,000 shares of common stock and vests as to: i) 50% of the shares if the average closing price of the Company's common stock for any 90-day period is at least $13.00 per share, and ii) the remaining 50% of these shares pro rata for each $0.01 increase up to $15.00 per share. The vesting of all three option grants is subject to continued employment (or service as a director or consultant). In consideration of the market condition vesting requirement included for the second and third option grants, the Company valued the options using a binomial lattice model. Total compensation for these options was valued at $875,000. The compensation expense is being recognized ratably over the projected requisite service period of three and three and a half years for the 350,000 and 100,000 shares, respectively. If the market condition is met before the projected requisite service period has elapsed, the unrecognized compensation cost related to the vested shares would be recognized immediately when the market condition is met.

In April 2010, the board of directors of the Company approved the modification of an option previously granted to the chief executive officer to purchase 450,000 shares of common stock to allow him to exercise the option prior to vesting, subject to a right of repurchase by the Company for any shares that subsequently failed to vest in accordance with the terms of a restricted stock purchase agreement. In April 2010, the chief executive officer exercised the option and acquired 337,500 shares, which vested over the next 18 months. The modification did not result in any incremental expense. In November 2011, the option fully vested.

In June 2011, the Company's executive vice president of engineering resigned from the Company and agreed to act as a consultant for an indefinite period. As compensation for the consulting services, an option to purchase 675,000 shares of the Company's common stock that was granted to the executive vice president on June 26, 2009, of which the unvested and unexercised portion would have otherwise terminated by its terms following the termination of employment with the Company, will remain in effect and continue to vest in accordance with its vesting terms during the term of the consulting agreement. The Company accounts for this option as a variable award and the fair value compensation expense is recognized each period over the remaining vesting term of the option.

The fair value of the Company's share-based payment awards for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was estimated on the grant dates using a Black-Scholes valuation method and an option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

The risk-free interest rate was derived from the Daily Treasury Yield Curve Rates as published by the U.S. Department of the Treasury as of the grant date for terms equal to the expected terms of the options. The expected volatility was based on the combination of: 1) four-year historical volatility and 2) implied volatility of the Company's stock price. The expected term of options granted was derived from historical data based on employee exercises and post-vesting employment termination behavior. A dividend yield of zero is applied because the Company has never paid dividends and has no intention to pay dividends in the near future.

The stock-based compensation expense recorded is adjusted based on estimated forfeiture rates. An annualized forfeiture rate has been used as a best estimate of future forfeitures based on the Company's historical forfeiture experience. The stock-based compensation expense will be adjusted in later periods if the actual forfeiture rate is different from the estimate.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had 10,472,556 options fully vested and expected to vest, after estimated forfeitures, with a remaining contractual life of 3.79 years, weighted average exercise price of $3.99 and aggregate intrinsic value of approximately $9.8 million.

The total fair value of options vested, excluding restricted stock units, during the year ended December 31, 2011 calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation method was $2.0 million. The total intrinsic value of employee stock options exercised during each of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $2.4 million, $2.4 million and $33,000, respectively.

Options to purchase 6.4 million and 4.2 million shares with weighted average exercised prices of $4.33 and $5.40 per share were exercisable at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, total compensation costs related to unvested, but not yet recognized, stock-based awards was $5.6 million, net of estimated forfeitures. This cost will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average remaining period of 2.5 years and will be adjusted for subsequent change in estimated forfeitures.
