The remaining terms of ground leases range from approximately one year to 58 years, including optional renewal periods. The remaining lease terms of our other leases range from approximately one year to 47 years, including optional renewal periods.

(1)	Weighted-average shares reflect the impact of common stock repurchases under Board-approved programs.
(2)	Fiscal 2007 includes a reduction in stockholders’ equity of $363.4 million related to shares repurchased and retired during the year.
(3)	2010 average unit volume is adjusted to exclude the 53rd week for the purpose of comparison to prior years.
(4)	Same-store sales, sales growth and average unit volume presented on a system-wide basis include company and franchise restaurants. Franchise sales represent sales at all franchise restaurants and are revenues to our franchisees. We do not record franchise sales as revenues; however, our royalty revenues are calculated based on a percentage of franchise sales. We believe franchise and system sales growth information is useful to investors as a significant indicator of the overall strength of our business as it incorporates our significant revenue drivers which are company and franchise same-store sales as well as net unit development. Company, franchise and system same-store sales growth includes the results of all restaurants that have been open more than one year.
