NOTE 11—LEASES

 

We lease various property, plant, and equipment. Terms of the operating leases vary, but generally require us to pay property taxes, insurance premiums, and maintenance costs associated with the leased property. Many of our leases contain one of the following options upon the end of the lease term:  (a) purchase the property at the current fair market value or (b) exercise a renewal option, as set forth in the lease agreement. Rental expense attributable to operating leases was $12.6 million, $15.2 million, and $16.9 million in 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Future minimum rental obligations under non-cancelable operating leases are payable as follows:
