The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount of consideration that would be agreed to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Subsequent to initial recognition, the fair values of financial instruments that are quoted in active markets are based on closing prices for financial assets and financial liabilities. When independent prices are not available, fair values are determined by using valuation techniques that refer to observable market inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
DEFERRED FINANCING FEES
Deferred financing fees are capitalized and amortized over the expected life of the credit facility agreement.
