There are three levels of inputs to measure fair value. The definition of each input is described below:
Level 1 : Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible by the Company at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 : Inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Such prices may be based upon quoted prices for identical or comparable securities
in active markets or inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
Level 3 : Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available.
Investments in corporate debt securities, U.S. and foreign government securities, commercial paper, government agency securities, convertible debt
securities and municipal securities are considered "Level 2 " valuations because the Company has access to quoted prices, but does not have visibility to the
volume and frequency of trading for all of these investments. For the Company's investments, a market approach is used for recurring fair value measurements and
the valuation techniques use inputs that are observable, or can be corroborated by observable data, in an active marketplace.
The Company's derivative instruments are valued using pricing models. Pricing models take into account the contract terms as well as multiple inputs
where applicable, such as interest rate yield curves, option volatility and currency rates.
