•Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets

•Level 2 - Significant other observable inputs, such as quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or model-based valuations in which significant inputs used are observable

•Level 3 - Significant other unobservable inputs
