a table of all outstanding long-term debt securities can be found in note 4 , ""debt and credit facilities'' to the company's consolidated financial statements .
as previously discussed , the decrease in the long- term debt obligations as compared to december 31 , 2004 , was due to the redemptions and repurchases of $ 1.0 billion principal amount of outstanding securities during 2005 .
also , as previously discussed , the remaining $ 118 million of 7.6% ( 7.6 % ) notes due january 1 , 2007 were reclassified to current maturities of long-term debt .
lease obligations : the company owns most of its major facilities , but does lease certain office , factory and warehouse space , land , and information technology and other equipment under principally non-cancelable operating leases .

rental expense , net of sublease income , was $ 254 million in 2005 , $ 217 million in 2004 and $ 223 million in 2003 .
purchase obligations : the company has entered into agreements for the purchase of inventory , license of software , promotional agreements , and research and development agreements which are firm commitments and are not cancelable .

total payments expected to be made under these agreements total $ 992 million .
commitments under other long-term agreements : the company has entered into certain long-term agreements to purchase software , components , supplies and materials from suppliers .

termination would result in a penalty substantially less than the annual contract payments .
the company would also be required to find another source for these services , including the possibility of performing them in-house .
as is customary in bidding for and completing network infrastructure projects and pursuant to a practice the company has followed for many years , the company has a number of performance/bid bonds and standby letters of credit outstanding , primarily relating to projects of government and enterprise mobility solutions segment and the networks segment .
