        We lease office and field equipment, vehicles and buildings under various operating leases. In fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, we recognized $76.6 million, $71.9 million and $60.9 million of expense associated with operating leases, respectively. Amounts payable under non-cancelable operating and capital lease commitments are as follows during the following fiscal years:

	Operating		Capital
	(in thousands)
2013	$	68,573	$	1,246
2014		53,595		836

2016		20,340		376
2017		10,727		–

Net present value			$	2,850

        We vacated certain facilities under long-term non-cancelable leases and recorded contract termination costs of $1.3 million at corporate in fiscal 2012 and $1.3 million at the RCM segment in fiscal 2011. This amount was initially measured at the fair value of the portion of the lease payments associated with the vacated facilities, reduced by estimated sublease rentals, less the write off of a prorated portion of existing deferred items previously recognized on these leases. We expect the remaining lease payments to be paid through the various lease expiration dates that continue until 2017. The RCM contract termination costs are recorded in "Other costs of revenue" and the corporate contract termination costs are recorded in "Selling, general and administrative expenses" on the consolidated statements of income.
