The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the plans was 70.9 million at December 31, 2010, including 31.2 million available for future grants. STOCK OPTIONS Stock options to purchase common stock are granted with an exercise price equal to the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. Substantially all of the options become exercisable in four equal installments, beginning a year from the date of the grant, and generally expire 10 years from the grant date. Options granted between May 1, 1999 and December 31, 2000 (approximately 5.8 million options outstanding at December 31, 2010) expire 13 years from the date of grant. Intrinsic value for stock options is defined as the difference between the current market value of the Company’s stock and the exercise price. During 2010, 2009 and 2008, the total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $500.8 million, $302.5 million and $549.5 million, respectively. Cash received from stock options exercised during 2010 was $463.1 million and the actual tax benefit realized for tax deductions from stock options exercised totaled $139.0 million. The Company uses treasury shares purchased under the Company’s share repurchase program to satisfy share-based exercises. A summary of the status of the Company’s stock option grants as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, and changes during the years then ended, is presented in the following table:   <table border="0"

the Company’s discretion. Certain executives have been awarded RSUs that vest based on Company performance. The fair value of each RSU granted is equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at date of grant less the present value of expected dividends over the vesting period.
