15. LEASE COMMITMENTS

Rental expenses for operating leases amounted to $17.2 million, $15.4 million and $16.9 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. These expenses relate primarily to building leases of the Company. At December 31, 2010, future minimum rental payments under non-cancelable operating leases were approximately $42.9 million, payable as follows: 2011 - $14.1 million; 2012 - $10.8 million; 2013 - $8.8 million; 2014 - $5.8 million and $3.4 million thereafter. It is expected that in the normal course of business, leases that expire may be renewed or replaced by leases on other property and equipment.
