Lease agreements, expiring at various dates through 2026, cover buildings, office equipment and automobiles. Rental expense was $30 million, $30 million and $28 million during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Future minimum rents payable as of December 31, 2013 under non-cancelable leases with initial terms exceeding one year are as follows (in thousands):

2014 $ 23,668
2015   17,953
2016   11,475
2017   7,276
2018 and thereafter   18,060

The Company licenses certain technology and software from third parties. Future minimum license fees payable under existing license agreements as of December 31, 2013 are immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2014 and thereafter.

 

The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements in its ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally the Company's business partners or customers, in connection with patent, copyright or other intellectual property infringement claims by any third party with respect to its current products, as well as claims relating to property damage or personal injury resulting from the performance of services by the Company or its subcontractors. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. Historically, the Company's costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims relating to such indemnity agreements have been minimal and management accordingly believes the estimated fair value of these agreements is immaterial.
