LEASES

We lease substantially all of our store properties under non-cancelable operating lease agreements. These leases generally have initial periods of 5 to 20 years and contain provisions for co-tenancies, renewal options, additional rents based on a percentage of sales, and payment of real estate taxes and common area charges. We also lease certain other buildings and equipment.
