It is important to note that "Terminations" in the table reflects the number of Franchise Agreements terminated by Chick Fil A prior to the end of the Franchise Agreement's term and without providing any consideration to the Operator. This does not include instances where an Operator voluntarily terminates a Franchise Agreement in order to obtain a commitment to be franchised to operate a different Chick-fil-A Restaurant, the Franchise Agreement is terminated by an Operator or by mutual consent, or an Operator otherwise leaves the Chick-fil-A system.
