We have omitted uncertain income tax liabilities from this table due to the inherent uncertainty regarding the timing of the potential issue resolution of the underlying matters. Specifically, either (a) the underlying positions have not been fully developed under audit to quantify at this time or, (b) the years relating to the matters for certain jurisdictions are not currently under audit. At December 31, 2017, we had $455 million and $495 million of net unrecognized tax benefits included in “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” and “Other liabilities,” respectively, in our consolidated balance sheet.

Additionally, as a result of the U.S. Tax Reform Act, we recorded a liability at December 31, 2017, of $467 million which reflects our estimated Transition Tax net payments. This provisional amount is subject to change as we collect and prepare the data necessary to finalize our calculations, interpret the U.S. Tax Reform Act and any additional guidance issued. The Transition Tax liability is payable over up to eight years and is not reflected in our Contractual Obligations table above. We expect to pay $77 million of the Transition Tax during 2018.

Long-term debt obligations represent our obligations related to the contractual principal repayments and interest payments under the 2017 TLA and the Notes as of December 31, 2017. There was no outstanding balance under our Revolver as of December 31, 2017. The Notes are subject to fixed interest rates and we have calculated the interest obligation based on the applicable rates and payment dates. The 2017 TLA bears a variable interest rate and interest is payable at least quarterly. We have calculated the expected interest obligation based on the outstanding principal balance and interest rate applicable at December 31, 2017. Refer to Note 11 for additional information on our debt obligations.
