Certain leases on office facilities contain escalation clauses requiring annual increases in rent ranging from two percent to six percent at Sempra Energy, two percent to six percent at SDG&E, and two percent to five percent at both PE and SoCalGas. The rentals payable under these leases may increase by a fixed amount each year or by a percentage of a base year, and most leases contain extension options that we could exercise. <br />The Sempra Utilities had an operating lease agreement for fleet vehicles with GE Capital that was terminated in November 2008, with remaining rental commitments to be paid by January 2011.

of $100 million.<br />Rent expense for all operating leases totaled:</p><table style="border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 20px;"><tr><td height="14" width="301" align="left"> </td><td width="273"
