(1)
Amounts in 2013 and 2012 include additional proceeds of $3.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively, recognized upon the extension of the underlying franchise and lease agreements related to restaurants sold in a prior year.
(2)
Amounts in all years presented primarily represent impairment and lease commitment charges related to restaurants closed in connection with the sale of the related markets, and in 2013, charges for operating restaurant leases with lease commitments in excess of our sublease rental income.
Franchise acquisitions — In each of the last three years, we have acquired Qdoba franchised restaurants in select markets where we believe there is continued opportunity for restaurant development. Additionally, in 2013 we exercised our right of first refusal and acquired one Jack in the Box franchise restaurant. We account for the acquisition of franchised restaurants using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The purchase price allocations were based on fair value estimates determined using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The goodwill recorded primarily relates to the sales growth potential of the markets acquired and is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The following table provides detail of the combined acquisitions in each year (dollars in thousands):
