22. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýUnder the Stock Incentive Plan, a plan approved by stockholders, we may grant non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, phantom stock, performance awards and other stock-based awards to our employees, directors and consultants and to employees and consultants of our subsidiaries, provided that incentive stock options may be granted solely to employees. The terms of the grants are fixed at the grant date. As of DecemberÌý31, 2011, we were authorized to grant up to 32.6Ìýmillion shares under the Stock Incentive Plan. As of DecemberÌý31, 2011, we had 10.6Ìýmillion shares remaining under the Stock Incentive Plan available for grant. Option awards have a maximum contractual term of 10Ìýyears and generally must have an exercise price at least equal to the market price of our common stock on the date the option award is granted. Stock- based awards generally vest over a three-year period.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýThe compensation cost from continuing operations under the Stock Incentive Plan for our Company and ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ International were as follows (dollars in millions):

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýThe total income tax benefit recognized in the statement of operations for stock-based compensation arrangements was $6Ìýmillion, $8Ìýmillion and $6Ìýmillion for the years ended DecemberÌý31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 respectively.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýThe fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our common stock through the grant date. The expected term of options granted was estimated based on the contractual term of the instruments and employees' expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The assumptions noted below represent the weighted averages of the assumptions utilized for all stock options granted during the year.
