(4) | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
ASC Topic 820 (Fair Value Measurement) establishes a fair value hierarchy for instruments measured at fair value that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and our own assumptions (unobservable inputs). Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of us. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. ASC 820 identifies fair value as the exchange price, or exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that distinguishes among the following: Level 1 Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Level 2 Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and models for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. To the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by us in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Recurring Fair Value Measurements The interest rate swap agreement we entered into in connection with our Term Note, as discussed further in Notes 2 and 12 is measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs.The contingent consideration liabilities on our balance sheet are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs. Our contingent consideration liabilities are a result of our acquisitions of Z-Sciences on October 6, 2021 and Acculogic on December 21, 2021. The contingent consideration liability for Z-Sciences represents the estimated fair value of the additional cash consideration payable that is contingent upon the continued employment with us of the Z-Sciences founder as discussed more fully in Note 3. It is included in Other Current Liabilities on our balance sheet. At December 31, 2021, we have assumed this payment will be made. The contingent consideration liability for Acculogic represents the estimated fair value of the additional cash consideration payable that is contingent upon sales to EV or battery customers as described further in Note 3. At December 31, 2021, we have made a preliminary assessment of the fair value of this amount. The purchase price allocation for Acculogic is not yet complete, as discussed in Note 3, and this amount could change. The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
|  | Amounts at |  |  | Fair Value Measurement Using |
