The Company leases certain equipment, automobiles, manufacturing and office space under operating leases, which are non-cancelable and expire on various dates through fiscal 2021. Rental expense for all operating leases was $2.6 million, $2.5 million and $2.7 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The operating lease amounts include the contractual facility lease obligations at our Napa, California; Sunnyvale, California; Montreal, Canada; and Chelmsford, Massachusetts plants. The above table excludes the estimated rental income, if any, from the sublease of the facilities. See Note 26 "Restructuring and Cost Management Plans" for further discussion on these site closure activities.

The operations at Chelmsford manufacturing plant ceased in the third quarter of 2016 as a part of the Company’s plan to streamline its manufacturing and development activities. In the third quarter of 2016, we entered into a sublease for this property, and the associated contractual rental income of $0.5 million over the three year life of the lease is expected to partially offset the Company's ongoing lease obligation. We also ceased operations at our Napa, California; Sunnyvale, California; and Montreal, Canada facilities in the fourth quarter of 2017.

The Company routinely enters into inventory purchase contracts which require purchase commitments. As a result, if we experience lower than anticipated demand for our products, in many cases we would not be able to avoid the cost of purchasing the associated inventory, which could negatively impact our results of operations and liquidity. The Company had purchase commitments of $28.6 million at April 1, 2017, of which $1.1 million represent long term purchase contracts.
