Equity Incentive Plans

We have equity incentive plans for directors, officers and employees that consist of stock options, restricted stock units, nonvested shares and performance based restricted stock units. At December 31, 2009, 661.5 million shares were authorized under our equity incentive plans and 89.7 million shares were available for future grant.

All stock options granted under these plans generally vest 25% one year from the date of grant (or 12.5% six months from the date of grant for grants to existing employees) and the remainder vest at a rate of 2.08% per month thereafter, and generally expire seven to 10 years from the date of grant. The cost of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of grant.

Restricted stock units and nonvested shares are granted to eligible employees under our equity incentive plans. In general, restricted stock units and nonvested shares cliff vest over one to five years, are subject to the employees’ continuing service to the company and do not have an expiration date. The cost of restricted stock units and nonvested shares is determined using the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant.

In 2007, 2008 and 2009, certain executives were eligible for performance based restricted stock units. The number of restricted stock units ultimately received depends on our business performance against specified performance targets set by the Compensation Committee. If the performance criteria are satisfied, the performance based restricted stock units will be granted and one-half of the grant will vest in March following the end of the performance period and the remaining half will vest one year later.
