Commercial aircraft financing commitments include commitments to provide financing related to aircraft
on order, under option for deliveries or proposed as part of sales campaigns based on estimated earliest
potential funding dates. Based on historical experience, we anticipate that we will not be required to fund
a significant portion of our financing commitments. However, there can be no assurances that we will not
be required to fund greater amounts than historically required. See Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial
Statements.
