 prices for identical instruments in active markets, when available. If quoted prices for identical instruments are not available, fair values are based on significant other observable inputs such as quoted prices of comparable instruments or interest rates and credit spreads, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, and loss severities. The fair value of certain available for sale and held-to-maturity municipal and other debt securities may be based on significant unobservable inputs. These significant unobservable inputs include limited observed trades, projected cash flows, current credit rating of the issuers and, when applicable, the insurers of the debt and observed trades of similar debt. Discount rates are primarily based on reference to interest rate spreads on comparable securities of similar duration and credit rating as determined by the nationally-recognized rating agencies adjusted for a lack of trading volume.

A summary of significant inputs used to value these securities follows. A management committee composed of senior members from the Company's Corporate Treasury, Risk Management, and Finance departments assess the appropriateness of these inputs quarterly.Derivatives All derivative instruments are carried on the balance sheet at fair value.

Expected loss severity is based on historical losses for similarly risk graded commercial loan customers. Decreases in counterparty credit rating or grading and increases in price volatility and expected loss severity all tend to increase the credit quality adjustment which reduces the fair value of asset contracts. We also consider our own credit risk in determining the fair value of derivative contracts. Changes in our credit rating could affect the fair value of our derivative liabilities. In the event of a credit downgrade, the fair value of our derivative liabilities could increase. Residential Mortgage Loans Held for SaleResidential mortgage loans held for sale are carried on the balance sheet at fair value.
