 new information not previously available. Because of the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from management’s current estimate of the unrecognized tax benefit liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to the deferred tax asset or income tax expense in the period in which new information is available. The Company records uncertain tax positions on the basis of a two-step process whereby (1) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position, and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the income tax expense line in the consolidated statements of operations. Accrued interest and penalties, if any, are included within the other liabilities line in the consolidated balance sheets and recorded as a component of income tax expense.Share-based CompensationThe Company grants share-based awards to employees and members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Awards to employees and the Board are generally made annually. Grants are issued outside of the annual cadence for certain new hires, promotions, and other events.The Company has two share-based compensation plans which provide for the granting of equity awards, including qualified incentive and non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards. The Company has three types of awards to employees and directors: restricted stock units (“RSUs’), performance stock units (“PSUs”), and stock options.The amount of expense to be recognized is determined by the fair value of the award using inputs available as of the grant date.  The basis of fair value for RSUs and PSUs is the closing stock price on the date of the grant. The fair value of stock options is determined based on an appropriate option pricing model using inputs available as of the grant date, generally using a Black-Scholes model. In each case, the fair value is adjusted for the presence of a market condition using an appropriate pricing model.For awards with service-based vesting conditions only, the Company recognizes the grant date fair value as share-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis through the vesting date of the last tranche of the award. For awards which are subject to a condition other than a service condition, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense using the graded-vesting method, treating each tranche as if it
