Leases of Lessee Disclosure [Text Block]
Note 11. Leases
We lease most of our store premises and some of our corporate facilities and distribution centers. These operating leases expire at various dates through 2030. Most store leases have a five-year base period and include options that allow us to extend the lease term beyond the initial base period, subject to terms agreed upon at lease inception. Some leases also include early termination options, which can be exercised under specific conditions.
We also lease certain equipment under operating leases that expire at various dates through 2018.
The aggregate minimum non-cancelable annual lease payments under leases in effect on February 2, 2013 are as follows:

In addition to rent expense related to our store premises, corporate facilities, and distribution centers as noted above, we had rent expense related to equipment under operating leases of $2 million, $4 million, and $3 million for fiscal 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.
We had lease loss reserves of $6 million and $9 million as of February 2, 2013 and January 28, 2012, respectively. Lease losses were $3 million, $4 million, and $3 million for fiscal 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. Remaining lease payments associated with our lease loss reserve are expected to be paid over the various remaining lease terms through 2021. Based on our current assumptions as of February 2, 2013, we expect our lease payments, net of sublease income, to result in a total net cash outlay of approximately $13 million for the remaining lease terms.
