Lease Commitments

We currently lease office space in the Americas for 15 regional sales and support offices across the United States and Latin America, and for 23 other international sales and support offices located in major cities throughout Europe, Asia, Australia, Japan and the CoE facilities in Bangalore and Hyderabad, India. The leases are primarily non-cancelable operating leases with initial terms ranging from 1 to 20 years that expire at various dates through the year 2020. None of the leases contain contingent rental payments; however, certain of the leases contain scheduled rent increases and renewal options. As of December 31, 2011, we have sublet approximately 233,000 square feet of excess office space through 2014, and have identified an additional 50,000 square feet that we are trying to sublet. In addition, we lease various computers, telephone systems, automobiles, and office equipment under non-cancelable operating leases with initial terms generally ranging from 12 to 48 months.

Net rental expense under operating leases in 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $22.5 million, $16.9 million and $10.7 million, respectively. The following summarizes future minimum lease obligations under non-cancelable operating leases at December 31, 2011.
