1Principal obligations of long-term debt (including current portion) due at maturity.
2Net (asset) disbursements due at maturity. US dollar amounts have been translated into Canadian dollars at the Bank of Canada year-end rate.
3Purchase obligations are the contractual obligations under service, product and handset contracts that we have committed to for at least the next five years.
4Expected contributions to our pension plans in 2014. Contributions for the year ended December 31, 2015 and beyond cannot be reasonably estimated because they depend on
future economic conditions and plan performance and may be affected by future government legislation.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Guarantees
As a regular part of our business, we enter into agreements that
provide for indemnification and guarantees to counterparties in
transactions involving business sale and business combination
agreements, sales of services and purchases and development of assets.
Due to the nature of these indemnifications, we are unable to make a
reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount we could be
required to pay counterparties. Historically, we have not made any
significant payment under these indemnifications or guarantees. See
Note 26 to our 2013 audited consolidated financial statements for more
information.
Operating Leases
We have entered into operating leases for the rental of premises,
distribution facilities, equipment and wireless towers and other
contracts. Terminating any of these lease agreements would not have a
material adverse effect on us as a whole. See “Commitments and Other
Contractual obligations” and Note 27 to our 2013 audited consolidated
financial statements for quantification and more information.
