Both the Black-Scholes and the Monte Carlo simulation fair value models require the use of highly
subjective and complex assumptions, including the expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock.
Changes in the Black-Scholes and the Monte Carlo valuation assumptions and our related estimates may change
the fair value for stock-based compensation and the related expense recognized. There have not been any
material changes to our stock-based compensation expense due to changes in our valuation assumptions.
