During the first quarter of 2011, the Company granted 1.3 million stock options and 0.6 million restricted stock units. The aggregate fair value of these awards was $24.6 million and will be recognized over the respective vesting periods of the awards, which range from 3 to 4 years. From time to time, the Company makes other non-material grants to certain employees throughout the year related to hirings, promotions, or for other performance based reasons. These grants typically bear terms similar to the awards granted in the first quarter.
