5. LEASES

General

We have entered into long-term leasing arrangements for the right to use various classes of underlying assets as follows:

•Pipelines, Terminals, and Tanks includes facilities and equipment used in the storage, transportation, production, and sale of our feedstocks and products;

•Marine Transportation includes time charters for ocean-going tankers and coastal vessels;

•Rail Transportation includes railcars and related storage facilities; and

•Other includes machinery, equipment, and various facilities used in our operations; facilities and equipment related to industrial gases and power used in our operations; land and rights-of-way associated with our refineries, plants, and pipelines and other logistics assets, as well as office facilities; and equipment primarily used at our corporate offices, such as printers and copiers.

In addition to fixed lease payments, some arrangements contain provisions for variable lease payments. Certain leases for pipelines, terminals, and tanks provide for variable lease payments based on, among other things, throughput volumes in excess of a base amount. Certain marine transportation leases contain provisions for payments that are contingent on usage. Additionally, if the rental increases are not scheduled in the lease, such as an increase based on subsequent changes in the index or rate, those rents are considered variable lease payments. In all instances, variable lease payments are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.
