COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Leases

The Company’s principal facilities in the United States are leased under various cancelable and non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2025. For tenant improvement allowances and rent holidays, Trimble records a deferred rent liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortizes the deferred rent over the terms of the leases as reductions to rent expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The estimated future minimum payments required under the Company’s operating lease commitments at the end of fiscal 2014 were as follows (in thousands):

2015	$	33,149
2016	23,074
2017	18,805
2018	14,104
2019	11,871
Thereafter	35,744
Total	$	136,747

Net rent expense under operating leases was $34.1 million in fiscal 2014, $32.2 million in fiscal 2013, and $28.2 million in fiscal 2012.

At the end of fiscal 2014, the Company had unconditional purchase obligations of approximately $125.3 million. These unconditional purchase obligations primarily represent open non-cancelable purchase orders for material purchases with the Company’s vendors. Purchase obligations exclude agreements that are cancelable without penalty.
