Prepaid agreements not-to-compete are amortized over the term of the respective agreements, ranging generally from one to ten years. Amortization expense was approximately $0.1 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2016. Our tradenames have indefinite lives and therefore are not amortized.
