As a result of the disposition of its investment in Office Depot de Mexico and the associated return of cash to the U.S. parent, in the third quarter of 2013, the carrying value of the related reporting unit exceeded its fair value. Because the investment was accounted for under the equity method, no goodwill was allocated to the gain on disposition of joint venture calculation. However, concurrent with the sale and gain recognition, a goodwill impairment charge of $44 million was recognized and is reported on the Asset impairments line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 16 for additional discussion of 2013 goodwill valuation considerations. Because the allocation of consideration related to the Merger is incomplete, the goodwill associated with the transaction has not yet been allocated to the reporting units. The purchase price allocation and the allocation of goodwill on a relative fair value basis is expected to be complete within the measurement period that will not exceed one year from the transaction date. Refer to Note 2 for additional information on the goodwill addition during 2013. Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets The carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset related to an acquired trade name was $6 million, at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are included in Other intangible assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Indefinite-lived intangibles are not subject to amortization, but are assessed for impairment at least annually. Definite-Lived Intangible Assets In 2013, the Company recorded definite-lived intangible assets totaling $101 million associated with the Merger, consisting of $44 million of favorable leases, $47 million of customer relationships and $10 million of tradenames. The weighted average amortization periods for favorable leases, customer relationships and tradenames are approximately 13, 7, and 2 years, respectively. Refer to Note 2 for details on the Merger purchase price allocation and Note 10 for details on deferred credit related to unfavorable leases. Definite-lived intangible assets are reviewed periodically to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. In the third quarter of 2012, the Company re-evaluated the remaining balances of certain amortizing intangible assets associated with a 2011 acquisition in Sweden. An impairment charge of $14 million was recognized and is presented in Asset impairment in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 16 for additional information on fair value measurement. Definite-lived intangible assets, which are included in Other intangible assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, are as follows:
|  | December 28, 2013 |
(In millions) |  | Gross Carrying Value |  |  | Accumulated Amortization |  |  | Net Carrying Value |
Customer relationships |  | $ | 74 |  |  | $ | (20 | ) |  | $ | 54 |
Favorable lease |  |  | 44 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 44 |
Trade name |  |  | 10 |  |  |  | (1 | ) |  |  | 9 |
Total |  | $ | 128 |  |  | $ | (21 | ) |  | $ | 107 |

(In millions) |  | Gross Carrying Value |  |  | Accumulated Amortization |  |  | Net Carrying Value |
Customer relationships |  | $ | 28 |  |  | $ | (17 | ) |  | $ | 11 |
Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method. Favorable leases are amortized using the straight-line method over the lives of the individual leases. The remaining weighted average amortization period for these assets is 8.8 years. Amortization of intangible assets was $4 million in 2013, $5 million in 2012, and $5 million in 2011 (at average foreign currency exchange rates). Intangible assets amortization expenses are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in Selling, general and administrative expenses. Amortization of favorable leases is included in rent expense. Refer to Note 10 for further detail. Estimated future amortization expense for the intangible assets is as follows:
(In millions) |  |  |
2014 |  | $ | 21 |
2015 |  |  | 19 |
2016 |  |  | 13 |
2017 |  |  | 11 |
2018 |  |  | 9 |
