[1] Level 1 measurements are fair value measurements which use quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. We use Level 1 inputs when available as Level 1 inputs generally provide the most reliable evidence of fair value.

[2] Level 2 measurements are fair value measurements which use inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

[3] Level 3 measurements are fair value measurements which use unobservable inputs.

[4] Amount represents the impact of master netting agreements that allow us to net cash settle asset and liability positions with the same counterparty.
