Leases and Other Finance Obligations | 5. Leases and Other Finance Obligations We lease certain land, buildings, rolling stock and other types of equipment for use in our operations. These leases typically have initial terms ranging from one to 15 years. Many of our leases contain renewal options which are exercisable at our discretion. These renewal options generally have terms ranging from one to five years. We also lease certain properties from related parties, including current employees and non-affiliate stockholders. Leases with related parties are not significant as of or for the three months ended March 31, 2019 or 2018. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at the inception of the arrangement. Lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at the arrangement’s commencement date. Right-of-use assets are recognized based on the amount of the measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any Certain of our leases are subject to variable lease payments based on various measures, such as rent escalations determined by percentage changes in the consumer price index. As these types of variable lease payments are determined on a basis other than an index or a rate, they are generally excluded from the calculation of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets and are expensed as incurred. In addition, we have residual value guarantees on certain equipment leases. Under these leases, we have the option of (a) purchasing the equipment at the end of the lease term, (b) arranging for the sale of the equipment to a third party, or (c) returning the equipment to the lessor to sell the equipment. If the sales proceeds in any case are less than the residual value, we are required to reimburse the lessor for the deficiency up to a specified level as stated in each lease agreement. If the sales proceeds exceed the residual value, we are entitled to all of such excess amounts. The guarantees under these leases for the residual values of equipment at the end of the respective operating lease periods approximated $5.7 million as of March 31, 2019. Based upon the expectation that none of these leased assets will have a residual value at the end of the lease term that is materially less than the value specified in the related operating lease agreement or that we will purchase the equipment at the end of the lease term, we do not believe it is probable that we will be required to fund any amounts under the terms of these guarantee arrangements. Accordingly, these guarantees have not been recognized in the calculation of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Our lease agreements do not impose any significant restrictions or covenants on us. As of March 31, 2019, we had future lease payments of $4.6 million related to leases which have been signed, but have not yet commenced. As such, these lease payments are not reflected on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2019.
