7.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, net, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Fair value measurements were applied to our long-term debt portfolio.  We believe the carrying value of our Term Loan approximates the fair market value primarily due to the fact that the non-performance risk of servicing our debt obligations, as reflected in our business and credit risk profile, has not materially changed since we assumed our debt obligations under the Credit Agreement.  In addition, due to the floating-rate nature of our Term Loan, the market value is not subject to variability solely due to changes in the general level of interest rates as is the case with a fixed-rate debt obligation.

Based on active market trades of our 3.625% Senior Notes and our 4.125% Senior Notes close to December 31, 2024 (Level 1 fair value measurements), we estimate the fair value of each in the table below:
