There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 assets during fiscal 2010.
Level 2 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Government-sponsored debt securities and foreign exchange derivative
instruments are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the government-sponsored debt securities is based on quoted prices in
active markets for similar assets. Foreign exchange derivative instruments are valued using inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived
principally from or corroborated with observable market data. There was no substantive change to the valuation techniques and related inputs used to measure
fair value during fiscal 2010.
