BENEFITS FROM TAX POSITIONS ARE MEASURED AT THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF BENEFIT THAT IS GREATER THAN 50% LIKELY OF BEING REALIZED UPON SETTLEMENT. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE FINAL TAX OUTCOME OF THESE MATTERS IS DIFFERENT THAN THE AMOUNTS RECORDED, SUCH DIFFERENCES IMPACT INCOME TAX EXPENSE IN THE PERIOD IN WHICH SUCH DETERMINATION IS MADE. INTEREST AND PENALTIES, IF ANY, RELATED TO ACCRUED LIABILITIES FOR POTENTIAL TAX ASSESSMENTS ARE INCLUDED IN INCOME TAX EXPENSE. WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS, THE INSTITUTE IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO INCOME TAX EXAMINATIONS BY THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL TAX AUTHORITIES FOR YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND PRIOR.
