exercise of stock options from previously unissued shares , except in limited circumstances where they are issued from treasury stock . the total number of awards which may be granted in a given year and/or over the life of the plan under each of our equity compensation plans is limited . at december 31 , 2013 , an aggregate of 10.4 million shares were available for future grants and awards under these plans . stock options granted to date under our plans generally vest over four years and generally have a maximum contractual life of 10 years . as established under our equity compensation plans , vesting may accelerate upon retirement after the first anniversary date of the award if certain criteria are met . we recognize expense related to stock options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period , less awards expected to be forfeited using estimated forfeiture rates . due to the accelerated retirement provisions , the requisite service period of our stock options range from one to four years . stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of our common stock on the date of grant , except in limited circumstances where local law may dictate otherwise. .
