In 2014, 2013 and 2012, there was no impairment for any of our customer relationship or trade name intangible assets.
Intangible assets are included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets, except for approximately $5 million of other indefinite-lived intangible assets which met the criteria to be classified as held for sale during the second quarter of 2014 and therefore are included in other current assets on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014.
