Litigation and Other Matters - The Company had $2.7 million and $2.8 million of liabilities recorded for various legal matters as of September 29, 2019 and December 30, 2018, respectively.

The Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims and liabilities, such as liquor liability, slip and fall cases, wage-and-hour and other employment-related litigation, which arise in the ordinary course of business and are generally covered by insurance if they exceed specified retention or deductible amounts. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to those actions will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations and cash flows.

Lease Guarantees - The Company assigned its interest, and is contingently liable, under certain real estate leases. These leases have varying terms, the latest of which expires in 2032. As of September 29, 2019, the undiscounted payments that the Company could be required to make in the event of non-payment by the primary lessees was approximately $32.8 million. The present value of these potential payments discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as of September 29, 2019 was approximately $24.6 million. In the event of default, the indemnity clauses in the Company’s purchase and sale agreements govern its ability to pursue and recover damages incurred. The Company believes the financial strength and operating history of the lessees’ significantly reduces the risk that it will be required to make payments under these leases. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded.
