[1] The fair value of our derivative contracts is based on the present value of the expected future cash flows considering the risks involved, including non-performance risk, and using discount rates appropriate for the respective maturities. Market observable, Level 2 inputs are used to determine the present value of the expected future cash flows. Refer to "Note P - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for additional information regarding our use of derivative instruments.

[2] The fair value of the contingent consideration obligations is determined using a probability weighted cash flow approach based on management's projections of future cash flows of the acquired businesses. The fair value measurements are based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements.
