    enSUl es

    that any interest expense over the pel od ta repayment

    is

    at a

    constant rate on

    fair value using a fair value hierarehy that rcf1ects the llignificance of

    inputs

    used in mnltug the fair value measurement.

    The fair value hierarehy

    has

    the following levels:

    a) Level 1 . quoted priees (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

    b)

    Level 2 - input s

    other than

    bcIieves that
