Some of our restaurants are leased for an initial term of 5 to 30 years, with renewal terms of 1 to 35 years. The leases typically provide for a fixed rental plus percentage rentals based on sales volume. At June 28, 2006, we owned the land and building for 314 of our 1,290 Company-operated restaurant locations. For these 314 restaurant locations, the net book value for the land was $266.5 million and for the buildings was $271.0 million. On the remaining 976 restaurant locations leased by us, the net book value of the buildings and leasehold improvements was $871.1 million. We believe that our properties are suitable, adequate, well-maintained and sufficient for the operations contemplated.
