  OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS 
  
  **Guarantees**
  As a regular part of our business, we enter into agreements that 
  in 
  provide for 
  combination 
  transactions 
  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.
