STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION | (17) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The following table summarizes activity under the Company’s stock option plans, including the 2012 and 2014 Inducement Plans and those suspended upon the adoption of the 2006 Share Incentive Plan, for the year ended December 31, 2016. All option grants presented in the table had exercise prices not less than the fair value of the underlying common stock on the grant date:
The weighted-average fair value per option granted in the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 were $40.70, $56.76 and $30.93, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $127.4 million, $146.6 million and $130.1 million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised was determined as of the date of option exercise. Upon the exercise of the options, the Company issues new common stock from its authorized shares. There were 7.4 million options that were in-the-money at December 31, 2016. Determining the Fair Value of Stock Options and Stock Purchase Rights The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model and the assumptions noted in the tables below. The expected life of options is based on observed historical exercise patterns. Groups of employees that have similar historical exercise patterns were considered separately for valuation purposes. The Company has identified two groups with distinctly different exercise patterns. The two groups identified are executive and non-executive employees. The executive employee group has a history of holding options for longer periods than non-executive employees. The expected volatility of stock options is based upon the weighted average of the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock and the implied volatility of traded options on the Company’s common stock for fiscal periods in which there is sufficient trading volume in options on the Company’s common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield on a U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issue with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option. The dividend yield reflects that the Company has not paid any cash dividends since inception and does not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Effective January 1, 2016, forfeitures were accounted for as they occurred. The assumptions used to estimate the per share fair value of stock options granted during the periods presented were as follows:
The Company recorded $45.5 million, $41.5 million and $41.1 million of compensation costs related to current period vesting of stock options for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options was $63.4 million. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.4 years. The assumptions used to estimate the per share fair value of stock purchase rights granted under the ESPP were as follows:
The Company recorded $10.1 million, $7.1 million and $4.8 million of compensation costs related to shares granted under the ESPP for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, there was $13.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options issuable under the ESPP. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years. Restricted Stock Unit Awards with Service-Based Vesting Conditions RSUs are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the release of vesting restrictions. The Company expenses the cost of the RSUs, which is determined to be the fair market value of the shares of common stock underlying the RSUs at the date of grant, ratably over the period during which the vesting restrictions lapse. A summary of RSU activity under the plan for the year ended December 31, 2016 as follows:
The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of RSUs granted during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, was $84.18, $119.86 and $64.37, respectively.

The Company recorded $74.7 million, $47.9 million and $21.3 million of compensation costs related to RSUs with service-based vesting conditions for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
