We lease certain plant, office and warehouse space, as well as machinery, vehicles, data processing and other equipment. Certain leases have renewal options at reduced rates and provisions requiring us to pay maintenance, property taxes and insurance. Amortization of assets reported as capital leases is included in depreciation expense. Generally, all rental payments are fixed. Our assets and obligations under capital lease arrangements are not significant.

Total rental expense under operating leases, excluding maintenance, taxes and insurance, was $44.4 million, $44.3 million, and $48.0 million for fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
