3.  Fair Value Measurements  

We measure the fair value of our open derivative financial instruments by applying the income approach, using models with inputs that are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.  The inputs used for the fair value measurement of our derivative financial instruments are the exercise price, the expiration date, the settlement date, notional quantities, the implied volatility, the discount curve with spreads, credit risk and published commodity futures prices.  The fair value of the 1.5 Lien Term Loan was estimated using the carrying value of the principal as no market has developed and the holder of the 1.5 Lien Term Loan was the largest holder of our Unsecured Senior Notes prior to the Exchange Transaction.  The fair values of our Second Lien Term Loan, Second Lien PIK Toggle Notes, Third Lien PIK Toggle Notes and Unsecured Senior Notes were based on quoted prices, although the market is not an active market; therefore, the fair value is classified within Level 2.  

The following table presents the fair value of our open derivatives and long-term debt, all of which are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy (in thousands):
