12.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and accounts payable approximated fair value as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 because of the relatively short maturities of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts of the 2018 Term Loan and the 2018 Revolver and of the 2015 Term Loan and the 2015 Revolver, approximated fair value as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, based upon terms and conditions available to the Company at those dates in comparison to the terms and conditions of its outstanding debt. The estimated fair value of the Convertible Notes, calculated using Level 2 inputs, was approximately $164.4 million as of September 30, 2018.
