F-24
(e) Operating leases include non-cancellable operating leases, consisting principally of leases for network facilities, real
estate, office space and office equipment.
(f) Purchase obligations include open purchase orders not yet receipted and amounts payable under non-cancellable contracts.
The portion attributable to non-cancellable contracts primarily represents agreements for network capacity and software
licensing.
(g) Other long-term liabilities and commitments primarily consist of deferred tax liabilities, pension and other postretirement
benefit obligations, interest rate swaps, CAF Phase 1 funding, asset retirement obligations and long-term deferred revenue.
(h) Excludes $1.1 million of reserves for uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, that were included in other
liabilities at December 31, 2014 for which we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate as to when cash settlements
with taxing authorities will occur.
(i) Includes $28.5 million, $3.1 million and $53.9 million in current portion of interest rate swaps, pension and postretirement
benefit obligations and CAF Phase 1 funding, respectively that were included in current portion of interest rate swaps
and other current liabilities at December 31, 2014. The current portion of pension and postretirement benefit obligations
does not include any expected pension contributions in 2015. Although no additional pension contributions may be
required in 2015, due to uncertainties inherent in the pension funding calculation, the amount and timing of any remaining
contributions are unknown and therefore have been reflected as due in more than 5 years.
(j) Excludes $25.4 million in long-term capital lease obligations, which are included in capital leases above.
(k) Excludes $74.7 million in other lease obligations, which are included in other lease obligations above.
See “Debt Covenants and Amendments” for information regarding our debt covenants. See Notes 2, 4, 5, 7, 11, and 12 for additional
information regarding certain of the obligations and commitments listed above.
