For assets and liabilities classified as Level 2 measurements, the fair value is based on the price a dealer would pay for the security or similar securities. Market inputs are obtained from well-established and recognized vendors of market data and placed through tolerance/quality checks.


Assets that are measured using significant other observable inputs are primarily valued by reference to quoted prices of similar assets in active markets, adjusted for any terms specific to that asset. For all other assets for which observable inputs are used, fair value is derived through the use of fair value models, such as a discounted cash flow model or other standard pricing models.
