Included in Other liabilities. The Company utilized a market approach model using the notional amount of the interest rate swap multiplied by the observable inputs of time to maturity and market interest rates.
In the second quarter of 2014, the Company recorded an intangible asset impairment charge of $7.8 million (see Note 5). The remeasurement of the intangible assets is classified as a Level 3 fair value assessment due to the significance of unobservable inputs developed in the determination of the fair value.
