(3)	In 2013, distribution rights also included the reacquired distribution rights for Snapple and several other non-carbonated beverage brands in parts of the Asia-Pacific region from Mondelēz.

As of June 30, 2013, the weighted average useful life of intangible assets with finite lives was 10 years in total, consisting of 10 years for distribution rights, brands and customer relationships and 15 years for bottler agreements. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $2 million and $3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Amortization expense of these intangible assets over the remainder of 2013 and the next four years is expected to be the following (in millions):
