Lease Commitments

We lease certain office facilities, automobiles and equipment under operating leases, which, for the most part, are renewable. The majority of these leases also provide that the Company will pay insurance and taxes.

Future minimum rental payments under operating leases that have initial or remaining noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2011 are as follows:

In December 2011, we exited and ceased use of two buildings in Westlake, Texas, which resulted in a pre-tax charge of $14.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The charge is primarily comprised of the estimated fair value of the existing operating lease obligations for the vacated buildings, net of assumed sub-lease amounts or credits assumed to be received through the remainder of the lease terms, the last of which ends in 2017. The actual amounts of the facility-related charges are dependent upon the timing and terms we are able to negotiate on the sub-lease of these facilities. These estimates are subject to change if the events and circumstances regarding our ability to sublease the facilities change.

Total rental expenses for all operating leases and month-to-month rentals were $63.2 million, $57.0 million, $69.3 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Operational Commitments

In August 2011, an affiliate of Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation ("Cognizant"), acquired CoreLogic India Global Services Private Limited, our India-based captive operations. The purchase price for CoreLogic India was $50.0 million in cash before working capital adjustments. As part of the transaction, we entered into a Master Professional Services Agreement ("Services Agreement") and supplement ("Supplement") with Cognizant under which Cognizant will provide a range of business process and information technology services to us. The Supplement has an initial term of seven years and we have the unilateral right to extend the term for up to three one-year periods. During the first five years of the agreement, we are subject to a net total minimum commitment of approximately $303.5 million, plus applicable inflation adjustments. In connection with the sale, we recorded $27.1 million of deferred gain on sale which is being recognized over the commitment period of five years.
