LEASE COMMITMENTS

(8) LEASE COMMITMENTS

PRGX is committed under noncancelable lease arrangements for facilities and equipment. Rent expense, excluding costs associated with the termination of noncancelable lease arrangements, was $6.7 million in 2011, $6.2 million in 2010 and $6.2 million in 2009.

We have subleased approximately 58,000 square feet of our principal executive office space to independent third parties. The sublease rental income we earn is less than the lease payments we make. At December 31, 2011, our liabilities relating to these lease obligations were $2.8 million, of which we have included $1.1 million in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” and $1.7 million in “Other long-term liabilities” in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. We adjust the fair value of the remaining lease payments, net of sublease income, based on payments we make and sublease income we receive. We include accretion of this liability related to discounting in rent expense.

We have entered into several operating lease agreements that contain provisions for future rent increases, free rent periods or periods in which rent payments are reduced (abated). We charge the total amount of rental payments due over the lease term to rent expense on the straight-line, undiscounted method over the lease terms.

Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases (both gross and net of any sublease income) are as follows (in thousands):
