1 The decrease in 2015 was primarily due to the sale of our energy brands to Monster, an impairment charge recorded related to the discontinuation of the energy products in the glacéau portfolio as a result of the Monster Transaction and the impairment of a Venezuelan trademark primarily due to changes in exchange rates as a result of the establishment of the new open market exchange system. Refer to Note 2 for additional information on the Monster Transaction and Note 1 for additional information on the Venezuela currency change.

The decrease in 2015 was primarily related to North America refranchising and the transfer of intangible assets to assets held for sale as a result of our entering into an agreement to merge our German bottling operations to form CCEP. These decreases were partially offset by the acquisition of the Company's rights to distribute Monster products in expanded territories as a result of the Monster Transaction. The carrying value of these rights as of December 31, 2015 was $640 million. These distribution rights are governed by an agreement with an initial term of 20 years, after which it will continue to remain in effect unless otherwise terminated by either party and there are no future costs of renewal. The Company anticipates that these assets will be used indefinitely. Refer to Note 2 for additional information.

3 The Company has agreements with Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc. ("DPSG") to distribute Dr Pepper trademark brands in the United States, Canada Dry in the Northeastern United States, and Canada Dry and C' Plus in Canada. As of December 31, 2015, the agreements have remaining terms of 15 years, with automatic 20-year renewal periods unless otherwise terminated under the terms of the agreements and there are no significant costs to renew the agreements. The Company anticipates that these assets will be used indefinitely. The carrying values of these rights as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, were $652 million and $784 million, respectively. The decrease is related to North America refranchising. Refer to Note 2 for additional information.
