15.   Rental Expense and Lease Commitments

        We lease our home office buildings, certain sales and other office space and equipment under long-term operating leases. Rent expense was $21.9 million, $21.6 million and $21.5 million, for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Future minimum rental commitments under non-cancelable operating leases are as follows:

Year	Commitments
	(in thousands)
2013	$	20,498
2014		16,749
2015		13,249
2016		10,164
2017		7,149
Thereafter		21,577
	$	89,386

        New leases are expected to be executed as existing leases expire. Thus, future minimum lease commitments are not expected to be materially different than those in 2012.
