 first performing a qualitative assessment to determine the existence of events and circumstances that would lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If such a conclusion is reached, the Company would then be required to perform a quantitative impairment assessment of goodwill. However, if the assessment leads to a determination that

it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then no further assessments are required. A quantitative assessment for the determination of impairment is made by comparing the carrying amount of each reporting unit with its fair value, which is generally calculated using a combination of market, comparable transactions and discounted cash flow approaches. Potential impairment indicators include, but are not limited to, (i) the results of the Company's most recent annual or interim impairment testing, in particular the magnitude of the excess of fair value over carrying value observed; (ii) downward revisions to internal forecasts, and the magnitude thereof, if any; and (iii) declines in the Company's market capitalization below its book value, and the magnitude and duration of those declines, if any.The Company amortizes the cost of other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives unless such lives are deemed indefinite. The cost of intangible assets is generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the asset's estimated economic life.The Company reviews PP&E, intangible assets and certain other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, and at least annually for indefinite-lived intangible assets. When testing for impairment, the Company groups its long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (or asset group). The determination of recoverability is made based upon the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is determined by comparing the fair value, as determined by a discounted cash flow analysis, with the carrying value of the related assets.LeasesThe Company enters into various contractual arrangements for the right to use facilities and equipment. At contract inception, management evaluates whether each of these arrangements contains a lease and classifies all identified leases as either operating or finance. If the arrangement is subsequently modified, the classification is re-evaluated. Upon commencement of the lease, management recognizes a
