(1)The fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts is the difference between the contract and current market foreign currency exchange rates at the end of the period. We estimate the fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts on a quarterly basis by obtaining market quotes of spot and forward rates for contracts with similar terms, adjusted where necessary for maturity differences. (2)The fair value of deferred compensation derivatives is based on quoted prices for market interest rates and a broad market equity index. (3)The fair value of commodities futures and options contracts is based on quoted market prices.
