8. Leases
We lease office facilities under noncancellable operating lease arrangements. Our facility leases generally provide for periodic rent increases and may contain escalation clauses and renewal options. Our leases have remaining lease terms of up to 16 years, which include options to extend that are reasonably certain of being exercised. Some of our leases include one or more options to extend the lease for up to 10 years per option, which we are not reasonably certain to exercise. The options to extend are generally at rates to be determined in accordance with the agreements. Options to extend the lease are included in the lease liability if they are reasonably certain of being exercised.
We sublease certain office facilities to third parties. These subleases have remaining lease terms of up to 5 years, one of which includes an option to extend the sublease for up to 3 years.
