Rent expense for all operating leases was $148 million, $154 million, and $150 million in fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

 

In April 2006, the Company entered into a sale-leaseback agreement with a financial institution whereby certain manufacturing equipment was sold to the financial institution and was being leased by the Company over a seven-year period. The transaction was recorded as a capital lease. Payments for the remaining balance of the sale-leaseback agreement were due semi-annually. The lease provided for an early buyout option whereby the Company, at its option, could repurchase the equipment at a predetermined fair market value in calendar year 2009. The Company exercised its early buyout option in fiscal year 2010 which resulted in converting the lease to a term loan. The balance of the related term loan at April 29, 2011 was $31 million
