  (ii) Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the stock price over the most recent period that is generally commensurate with the expected term of the grant. The current stock price as of December 31, 2015 was used as the underlying asset price in estimating fair value. In addition, the average three-year historical dividend rate was used as the expected dividend rate in measuring fair value.
