As of December 31, 2015, our Level 3 investments consisted predominately of corporate securities. As of
December 31, 2014, our Level 3 investments consisted predominately of auction rate securities, which are included
in “Other” above. On a quarterly basis we evaluate the reasonableness of significant unobservable inputs used in
those measurements. For our Level 3 investments, we evaluate, among other things, the terms of the underlying
instruments, the credit ratings of the issuers, current market conditions, and other relevant factors. Based on these
factors, we assess the risk of realizing expected cash flows and we apply an observable discount rate that reflects
this risk. We may also reduce our valuations to reflect a liquidity discount based on the lack of an active market for
these securities.
