¹ Represents future projected cash payments and, therefore, is not necessarily representative of future expected rental expense.

²  Projected cash payments include only those amounts that are fixed and determinable as of the reporting date. We currently pay rent for certain store locations based on a percentage of store sales. As future store sales cannot be predicted with certainty, projected payments for these locations are based on minimum rent, which is generally higher than rent based on a percentage of store sales. We incur other lease obligation expenses, such as common area maintenance and other executory costs, which are not fixed in nature and are thus not included in the future projected cash payments reflected above. In addition, projected cash payments do not include any benefit from deferred lease incentive income, which is reflected within “Total rent expense” above.
