| (2) | A portion of the principal balance of these instruments is classified as “Current portion of debt, finance lease and other obligations” due to payment terms upon which we will pay a portion of principal balance based on the variable cash flows for certain Pay-TV business metrics which are an estimate and could change significantly based on actual performance. |
