Operating Leases

We lease certain plant, office and warehouse space as well as machinery, vehicles, data processing and other equipment. Certain of the 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 $43.5 million, $33.6 million, and $26.5 million for 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.

At October 26, 2012, the future payments for all operating leases with remaining lease terms in excess of one year, and excluding maintenance, taxes, and insurance were as follows:
