| Stock-Based Compensation Plans | Note 7—Stock-Based Compensation Plans Through the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company granted stock options under the Amended and Restated 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (Second Restated 2002 Plan) and predecessor plans. Since the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company has granted RSUs under the Second Restated 2002 Plan. In July 2008 the Third Restated 2002 Plan was amended by the Board of Directors (Fourth Restated 2002 Plan). Under the Fourth Restated 2002 Plan, prospective grants of RSUs are subject, upon certain terminations of employment, to quarterly, as opposed to daily vesting. Previously awarded RSU grants continue to involve daily vesting upon certain terminations of employment. Additionally, employees who attain certain years of service with the Company will receive shares under accelerated vesting provisions on the annual vesting date rather than upon qualified retirement. The first grant impacted by these amendments occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. In the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the Fourth Restated 2002 Plan was amended following shareholder approval and is now referred to as the Fifth Restated 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (Fifth Restated 2002 Plan). The Fifth Restated 2002 Plan authorizes the issuance of an additional 18,000,000 shares (10,285,714 RSUs) of common stock for future grants in addition to grants currently authorized. Each share issued in respect of stock bonuses or stock units is counted as 1.75 shares toward the limit of shares available. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon exercise of stock options and vesting of RSUs.

Recipients are not entitled to vote or receive dividends on unvested shares. At the end of 2011, 8,565,000 shares were available to be granted as RSUs to eligible employees and directors under the Fifth Restated 2002 Plan.
