We have minimum commitments under contractual obligations, including purchase obligations. A purchase obligation is defined as an agreement to
purchase goods or services that is enforceable and legally binding on us and that specifies all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be
purchased; fixed, minimum, or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. Other long-term liabilities are defined as long-term
liabilities that are recorded on our consolidated balance sheet. Based on these definitions, the following table includes only those contracts which include
fixed or minimum obligations. The majority of our purchases are not included in the table as they are made under purchase orders which are requirements
based and accordingly do not specify minimum quantities.
The following table summarizes aggregated information about our outstanding contractual obligations and other long-term liabilities at December 31,
2015 (dollars in millions):
