The four primary factors influencing the level of our allowance for losses on customer financing receivables are collateral values, internal customer credit ratings, default rates and expected loss rate.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">We review the adequacy of the allowance for losses by assessing the collateral exposure, the applicable default rate and expected loss rate. Collateral exposure for a particular receivable is the excess of the carrying value of the receivable over the fair value of the related collateral. A receivable with an estimated fair value in excess of the carrying value is considered to have no collateral exposure. The applicable default rate is determined using two components: internal customer credit ratings and weighted average remaining contract term. We assign internal credit ratings for all customers and determine the creditworthiness of each customer based upon publicly available information and information obtained directly from our customers. Our rating categories are comparable to those used by the major credit rating agencies. We apply an expected loss rate, based on publicly available information, to the applicable default rate.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">We have entered into agreements with certain customers that would entitle us to look beyond the specific collateral underlying the receivable for purposes of determining the collateral exposure as described above. Should the proceeds from the sale of the underlying collateral asset resulting from a default condition be insufficient to cover the carrying value of our receivable (creating a shortfall condition), these agreements would, for example, permit us to take the actions necessary to sell or retain certain other assets in which the customer has an equity interest and use the proceeds to cover the shortfall.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Each quarter we review the assigned internal customer credit ratings, published historical credit default rates for different rating categories and multiple third-party aircraft value publications as a basis to validate the reasonableness of the allowance for losses on customer financing receivables. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from estimates or that the consideration of these factors in the future will not result in an increase or decrease to the allowance for losses on customer financing receivables.</span></div>
