For this purpose, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.</div><div style="text-align: left; text-indent: 18pt; font-family: ''Times New Roman'', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </div><div style="text-align: left; text-indent: 18pt; font-family: ''Times New Roman'', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.
