  
    
    Level 1  Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
    
    Level 2  Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such
as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted
prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not
active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable
market data.

activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and
similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
