___________________________________________
(1)
Adjustments relate primarily to revisions of certain sublease and cost assumptions. Our estimates related to our future lease obligations, primarily the sublease income we anticipate, are subject to a high degree of judgment and may differ from actual sublease income due to changes in economic conditions, desirability of the sites, and other factors.
(2)
The weighted-average remaining lease term related to these commitments is approximately four years.
(3)
This balance excludes $1.5 million of restaurant closing costs that are included in “Accrued liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities”, which were initially recorded as losses on the sale of company-operated restaurants to franchisees in prior years.
