Commitments and Contingencies From time to time, in the ordinary course of the Company’s business, various claims, charges and litigation are asserted or commenced against the Company arising from, or related to, among other things, contractual matters, patents, trademarks, personal injury, environmental matters, product liability, insurance coverage, employment or employment benefits.
As to such claims and litigation, the Company can give no assurance that it will prevail.
The Company does not believe that any current legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.11.
Retirement Plans The Company and its subsidiaries have various savings and retirement plans covering substantially all employees.
Defined Contribution Plans The Company maintains a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its eligible U. S.  employees.
This plan provides for Company contributions of up to 5% of each participant’s total eligible compensation.
In addition, the Company contributes an amount equal to each participant’s pre-tax contribution, if any, up to a maximum of 3% of each participant’s total eligible compensation.
The total expense related to the defined contribution plans for U. S.  employees was $47.7 million in fiscal 2019, $41.4 million in fiscal 2018 and $35.8 million in fiscal 2017.
Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan The Deferred Compensation Plan (DCP) allows certain members of management and other highly-compensated employees and non-employee directors to defer receipt of all or any portion of their compensation.
The DCP was established to provide participants with the opportunity to defer receiving all or a portion of their compensation, which includes salary, bonus, commissions and director fees.
Under the DCP, the Company provides all participants (other than non-employee directors) with Company contributions equal to 8% of eligible deferred contributions.
The DCP is a non-qualified plan that is maintained in a rabbi trust.
The fair value of the investments held in the rabbi trust are presented separately as deferred compensation plan investments, with the current portion of the investment included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
See Note 2j, Fair Value, for further information on these investments.
The deferred compensation obligation represents DCP participant accumulated deferrals and earnings thereon since the inception of the DCP net of withdrawals.
The deferred compensation obligation is presented separately as deferred compensation plan liability, with the current portion of the obligation in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company’s liability under the DCP is an unsecured general obligation of the Company
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) LEGGETT & PLATT, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES During 2002, the Company recorded as capital leases $30.5 for aircraft and machinery, which leases were formerly synthetic lease arrangements (i. e. , operating leases for accounting purposes) that were entered into during the last half of 2001.
Amendments to these leases and the early adoption of FASB Interpretation No.46 resulted in the change in accounting for these leases.
The revolving credit agreements and certain other long-term debt contain restrictive covenants which, among other restrictions, limit the amount of additional debt and require net earnings to meet or exceed specified levels of funded debt.
Maturities of long-term debt for each of the five years following 2002 are:
## Table 1 ##
(G) LEASE OBLIGATIONS The Company conducts certain operations in leased premises and also leases most of its automotive and trucking equipment and some other assets.
Terms of the leases, including purchase options, renewals and maintenance costs, vary by lease.
Total rental expense entering into the determination of results of operations was $49.9, $47.3 and $42.8 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Future minimum rental commitments for all long-term noncancelable operating leases are as follows:
## Table 2 ##
The above lease obligations expire at various dates through 2012.
Certain leases contain renewal and/or purchase options.
Aggregate rental commitments above include renewal amounts where it is the intention of the Company to renew the lease.
As more fully described in the Long-Term Debt note to the financial statements, the accounting for certain leases entered into in 2001 was changed from operating leases to capital leases in 2002.
(H) CAPITAL STOCK STOCK ACTIVITY Activity in the Company’s stock accounts for each of the three years ended December 31 is as follows:
## Table 3 ##
The Company issues shares for employee stock plans and acquisitions.
The Company purchases its common stock to meet the requirements of the employee stock purchase and incentive plans, to replace shares issued in purchase acquisitions and to satisfy contractual obligations.
The Company will also receive shares in stock option exercises.
STOCK OPTIONS At December 31, 2002, the Company had 16,341,719 common shares authorized for issuance under stock option plans.
Generally, options become exercisable in varying installments, beginning 6 to 18 months after the date of grant, have a maximum term of 10 years, and are issued with exercise prices at market.
However, the Company grants below market options under a deferred compensation program.
This program allows senior managers to receive stock options in lieu of cash salary and bonuses.
These options include a discount feature which does not exceed 15% and have a term of fifteen years.
Our reportable segments are the same as our operating segments, which also correspond with our management organizational structure.
Each reportable segment has a senior operating vice-president that reports to the chief operating decision maker.
The operating results and financial information reported through the segment structure are regularly reviewed and used by the chief operating decision maker to evaluate segment performance, allocate overall resources and determine management incentive compensation.
Separately, we also utilize a role-based approach (Grow, Core, Fix or Divest) as a supplemental management tool to ensure capital (which is a subset of the overall resources referred to above) is efficiently allocated within the reportable segment structure.
The accounting principles used in the preparation of the segment information are the same as those used for the consolidated financial statements, except that the segment assets and income reflect the FIFO basis of accounting for inventory.
Certain inventories are accounted for using the LIFO basis in the consolidated financial statements.
We evaluate performance based on earnings from operations before interest and income taxes (EBIT).
Intersegment sales are made primarily at prices that approximate market-based selling prices.
Centrally incurred costs are allocated to the segments based on estimates of services used by the segment.
Certain of our general and administrative costs and miscellaneous corporate income and expenses are allocated to the segments based on sales and EBIT.
These allocated corporate costs include depreciation and other costs and income related to assets that are not allocated or otherwise included in the segment assets.
A summary of segment results for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 are shown in the following tables.
To comply with the FASB guidance regarding noncontrolling interest discussed under “New Accounting Guidance” in Note A, EBIT for 2008 and 2007 have been retrospectively adjusted as follows to include noncontrolling interest: 2008—Commercial Fixturing & Components—(from $13.8 to $14.4); Specialized Products—(from $40.7 to $44.7); 2007—Specialized Products—(from $64.6 to $70.1).

PART II CONTINGENCIES Litigation Accruals for Probable Losses We are exposed to litigation contingencies that, if realized, could have a material negative impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Although, we deny liability in all currently threatened or pending litigation proceedings in which we are or may be a party and believe we have valid bases to contest all claims made against us, we have recorded a litigation contingency accrual for our reasonable estimate of probable loss for pending and threatened litigation proceedings, in aggregate, in millions, as follows:
