Leases

Certain of the operations of the Company are conducted on leased premises, one of which is leased from entities affiliated with Mitchell Jacobson, the Company's Chairman, and Marjorie Gershwind Fiverson, Mr. Jacobson's sister. The leases (most of which require the Company to provide for the payment of real estate taxes, insurance and other operating costs) are for varying periods, the longest extending to the year 2030. Some of the leased premises contain multiple renewal provisions, exercisable at the Company's option, as well as escalation clauses. In addition, the Company is obligated under certain equipment and automobile operating leases, which expire on varying dates through 2020. At September 1, 2012, approximate minimum annual rentals on such leases are as follows:

Fiscal Year	Total (Including Related Party Commitments)		Related Party Commitments
2013	$	17,376	$	2,293
2014		15,369		2,296
2015		12,092		2,314
2016		7,310		2,350
2017		4,653		2,353
Thereafter		33,298		32,045
Total	$	90,098	$	43,651

Total rental expense (exclusive of real estate taxes, insurance and other operating costs) for all operating leases for fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $11,271, $10,716 and $9,646, respectively, including approximately $2,258 $2,247 and $2,310, respectively, paid to related parties.

In the opinion of the Company's management, the lease with related parties is on terms which approximate fair market value.
