COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Leases
We had no equipment leased under capital leases at December 31, 2013 and 2012. We lease certain equipment and facilities under operating leases. Future minimum lease payments under all non-cancellable operating leases in which we are the lessee are immaterial.
Legal Proceedings
We are subject to legal proceedings, lawsuits and other claims arising in the ordinary course of business (collectively "Litigation"). Litigation is subject to uncertainties and outcomes are difficult to predict. We believe any current Litigation will not have a material adverse impact on us after final disposition. However, because of the uncertainties of Litigation, one or more lawsuits could ultimately result in a material obligation.
Guarantees
We may guarantee mortgage debt of our wholly owned subsidiaries and the properties for which we are a joint venture partner in whole or in part (i.e. for so-called "nonrecourse carve outs"), and some subsidiaries that own unencumbered property guarantee the Company's obligations under the unsecured revolver. In the normal course of business, we may enter into contractual arrangements under which we may agree to indemnify the third party to such arrangements from any losses incurred relating to the services they perform on behalf of the Company or for losses arising from certain events as defined within the particular contract, which may include, for example, litigation or claims relating to past performance. Such indemnification obligations may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, payments made related to these indemnifications have not been material.
