Leases

We lease certain facilities under operating leases expiring at various dates through 2021. In December 2010, we amended the lease for our headquarters located in Portland, Oregon. The term of the lease was extended through 2026 with an option to terminate in 2021. This amendment, which was effective January 2011, lowered occupancy expenses over the next five years and includes a tenant improvement allowance of $0.8 million. As of March 31, 2012, we have received $0.6 million from the landlord related to the tenant improvements. Total square footage occupied after the amendment is 58,818 square feet. In addition, we received a $0.5 million forgivable loan from the State of Oregon in April 2011 for tenant improvements.

Also in December 2010, we negotiated tax credits with the City of Portland and State of Oregon related to our leased facilities that are based on capital spending and are expected to lower our overall state and local property and income tax obligations for the next five years.

Minimum lease payments over the terms of the leases exceeding one year were as follows at March 31, 2012 (in thousands):

The leases require us to pay for taxes, insurance and maintenance and contain escalation clauses. Rent expense under operating leases is recognized, net of the amortization of deferred rent, on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases and was approximately $2.0 million in Fiscal 2012, $2.2 million in Fiscal 2011 and $1.4 million in Fiscal 2010.
