Commitments and Contingencies, and Derivative Financial Instruments | 11. Commitments and Contingencies, and Derivative Financial Instruments Commitments Under Operating Leases We lease certain of our facilities and equipment under operating leases with net aggregate future lease payments of approximately $753,102 million at September 29, 2017, payable as follows (in thousands):

|  |  | 768,104 |
Amounts representing sublease income |  |  | (15,002 | )

We recognize rent expense, inclusive of landlord concessions and tenant allowances, over the lease term on a straight-line basis. We also recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis for leases containing fixed escalation clauses and rent holidays. Contingent rentals are included in rent expense as accruable. Operating leases relating to many of our major offices generally contain renewal options, and provide for additional rental based on escalation in operating expenses and real estate taxes. The following table presents rent expense and sublease income offsetting the Company’s rent expense for the years ended September 29, 2017, September 30, 2016 and October 2, 2015 (in thousands):

Rent expense |  | $ | 145,344 |  |  | $ | 151,539 |  |  | $ | 175,067 |

Net rent |  | $ | 138,292 |  |  | $ | 144,327 |  |  | $ | 169,792 |
Guarantee We are party to a synthetic lease agreement involving certain real and personal property located in Houston, Texas that we use in our operations. A synthetic lease is a type of off-balance sheet transaction which provides us with certain tax and other financial benefits. Significant terms of the lease are as follows:
End of lease term |  |  | 2025 |
End of term purchase option (in thousands) |  | $ | 76,950 |
Residual value guaranty (in thousands) |  | $ | 62,412 |
The Company refinanced the synthetic lease agreement effective July 28, 2015 with a ten-year term. The new lease agreement continues to gives us the right to request an extension of the lease term. We may also assist the owner in selling the property at the end of the lease term, the proceeds from which would be used to reduce our residual value guarantee. The minimum lease payments required by the lease agreement is included in the above lease pay-out schedule. We have determined that the estimated Fair Value of the aforementioned financial guarantee was not significant at September 29, 2017. Derivative Financial Instruments In situations where our operations incur contract costs in currencies other than their functional currency, we attempt to have a portion of the related contract revenues denominated in the same currencies as the costs. In those situations where revenues and costs are transacted in different currencies, we sometimes enter into foreign exchange contracts in order to limit our exposure to fluctuating foreign currencies. The Company does not currently have exchange rate sensitive instruments that would have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements or results of operations. Letters of Credit Letters of credit outstanding at September 29, 2017 totaled $262.1 million. Of this amount, $2.5 million has been issued under the Revolving Credit Facility and $259.6 million are issued under separate, committed and uncommitted letter-of-credit facilities.
