[1] Film obligation commitments include distribution and marketing commitments and minimum guarantee commitments. Distribution and marketing commitments represent contractual commitments for future expenditures associated with distribution and marketing of films which we will distribute. The payment dates of these amounts are primarily based on the anticipated release date of the film. Minimum guarantee commitments represent contractual commitments related to the purchase of film rights for pictures to be delivered in the future. Production loan commitments represent amounts committed for future film production and development to be funded through production financing and recorded as a production loan liability when incurred. Future payments under these commitments are based on anticipated delivery or release dates of the related film or contractual due dates of the commitment. The amounts include future interest payments associated with the commitment.

[2] Includes cash interest payments on our corporate debt, excluding the interest payments on the senior revolving credit facility as future amounts are not fixed or determinable due to fluctuating balances and interest rates.
