Level 2: fair value based on inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset
or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices); or
t
Level 3: fair value based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is,
observable inputs).
