Commitments and Contingencies

We have guarantees related to certain franchisee loans. Payments under these guarantees would result from the inability of a franchisee to fund required payments when due. Through June 28, 2017, no events had occurred that caused us to make payments under these guarantees. There were $6.4 million and $7.9 million of loans outstanding under these programs as of June 28, 2017 and December 28, 2016, respectively. As of June 28, 2017, the maximum amounts payable under the loan guarantees was $1.2 million. As a result of these guarantees, we have recorded liabilities of less than $0.1 million as of both June 28, 2017 and December 28, 2016, which are included as a component of other noncurrent liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and other nonoperating expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

There are various claims and pending legal actions against or indirectly involving us, incidental to and arising out of the ordinary course of the business. In the opinion of management, based upon information currently available, the ultimate liability with respect to these proceedings and claims will not materially affect the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.
