If the total of quarterly installments of Percentage Rent for any calendar year or partial calendar year then Tenant at the time it submits their last quarterly installment for that year shall pay Landlord any deficiency, or Landlord upon receipt of such annual statement shall issue to Tenant a credit invoice for such excess, as the case may be. Percentage Rent shall be computed separately with respect to each calendar year (or partial calendar year). There shall be no carry-backs or carry-forwards from one calendar year to another calendar year.

Payments on installments or credit sales shall be included in Net Sales in the calendar quarter when the merchandise is delivered or service provided to the customer. Net Sales shall not include: (i) sums collected and paid out for any sales or retail excise tax imposed by any duly constituted governmental authority; (ii) sales to employees at a discount, but only to the extent of such discount; (iii) any rebates and/or refunds to customers; (iv) sales of trade fixtures or store equipment after use on the Premises; (v) transfers of merchandise between stores of Tenant, provided no such transfer is made to avoid liability for Percentage Rent; and, (vi) finance, interest, service or carrying charges on credit sales,
All sales originating at, on or from the Premises shall be considered as made and completed therein, even though bookkeeping and payment of the account may be transferred to another place for collection and even though actual filling of the sale or service order and actual delivery of the merchandise may be made from a place other than the Premises.
d. MONTHLY STATEMENT OF EXCLUDED ITEMS. Tenant shall provide a monthly statement, indicating the total amount of all excluded items from Net Sales and shall for three (3) years thereafter have underlying records available for Landlord's inspection verifying such items Sales upon credit shall be deemed cash sales and shall be included in Net Sales in the period in which the merchandise is delivered to the customer, whether or not title to the merchandise passes with such delivery.
e. NET RECORDS. Tenant shall keep full, complete and proper book records and accounts of its daily Net Sales, both for cash and on credit, for each separate department, subtenant, and concessionaire operating at any time in the Premises, Landlord and its agents and employees shall have the right to examine and inspect during normal any sales tax reports pertaining to the business of Tenant conducting in, upon or from the Premises for the purpose of investigating and verifying the accuracy of any statement of Net Sales. Landlord may cause an audit of the business of Tenant to be made by an accountant of Landlord's selection, and if any statement of Net Sales previously made to Landlord shall be found to be inaccurate, then an adjustment shall be made within thirty (30) days in order to settle in full the accurate amount of percentage rent that should have been paid for the period or periods covered by such inaccurate statement or statements. Tenant shall keep all said records for a minimum period of three (3) years. Should said audit disclose that Tenant has understated Net Sales by three (3%) or more for any month so audited, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent within thirty (30) days after receipt of billing from Landlord the cost of such audit for said month; otherwise, the cost of such audit shall be paid by Landlord. If such audit shall disclose any willful or fraudulent inaccuracies, this Lease may be terminated at the option of Landlord.
f. WASTE DISPOSAL CHARGES. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost, if any, reasonably incurred by Landlord for the hauling, dumping or removal of Tenant's trash, waste or refuse in excess of three (3) cubic yards per day. The cost incurred by Landlord for the hauling, dumping or removal of Tenant's trash, waste or refuse not in excess of three (3) cubic yards shall be paid by Landlord and included in Basic Cost.
g. PAYMENT. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any sum, amount, item or charge designated or considered as additional rent in this Lease or any other sum, amount, item or charge payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on the first day of the month following the date on which Landlord notifies Tenant of the amount payable or on the tenth day after the giving of such notice, whichever shall be later. Any such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis of such additional rent. Such sums shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord without offset or deduction.
4. LATE PAYMENTS. If Tenant fails to pay when due and payable any rent or other sums due from Tenant under this Lease, the unpaid amounts shall bear interest at the rate of twelve (12%) per annum (not to exceed the maximum lawful rate) from the date due to the date paid. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord's designee within ten (10) days after such amount shall be due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to four (4%) of such overdue amount. No late charge may be imposed more than once for the same late rental payment. The parties hereby agree that such late charge by Landlord shall, in no event, constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to such overdue amount nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted at law or equity or pursuant to this Lease.
