The Company leases certain buildings, machinery and equipment under various operating leases. Total rental expense for operating leases amounted to $1 million, $2 million and $2 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company also has long-term lease agreements on certain timberlands in the Southern U.S. and New Zealand. U.S. leases typically have initial terms of approximately 30 to 65 years, with renewal provisions in some cases. New Zealand timberland lease terms range between 30 and 99 years. Such leases are generally non-cancellable and require minimum annual rental payments. Total expenditures for long-term leases and deeds on timberlands amounted to $10.4 million, $10.4 million and $8.0 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

At December 31, 2014, the future minimum payments under non-cancellable operating and timberland leases were as follows:

The New Zealand JV has a number of Crown Forest Licenses (“CFL”) with the New Zealand government, which are excluded from the table above. A CFL consists of a license to use public or government owned land to operate a commercial forest. The CFL's extend indefinitely and may only be terminated upon a 35 year termination notice from the government. If no termination notice is given, the CFLs renew automatically each year for a one year term. As of December 31, 2014, the New Zealand JV has four CFL’s under either a complete or partial termination notice, terminating in 2034, 2046 and two in 2049 as well as two fixed term CFL’s set to expire in 2062. The annual license fee is determined based on current market rental value, with triennial rent reviews. The total annual license fee on the CFL’s is $2.2 million per year including CFL's terminating or expiring of $0.2 million.
