Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="DSPFListTable" style="width: 100%;
