(c) If any installment of Fixed Rent is not paid on the respective Due Date, Tenant shall pay Landlord interest on such overdue payment at the Lease Default Rate, accruing from the Due Date of such payment until the same is paid; provided, however, the foregoing obligation to pay the Default Rate shall not be required for the first late payment of Fixed Rent in any calendar year so long as such delay in payment does not continue for longer than a period of ten (10) days.

If Tenant fails to prepare and deliver any statement of Gross Sales and Adjusted Gross Sales required hereunder, within the time or times specified above, then Landlord shall have the right, in addition to the other rights and remedies set forth in this Lease, (a) to collect from Tenant a sum which shall be $250.00 which shall be deemed liquidated damages for administrative and overhead expenses resulting from such failure, and (b) to estimate Tenant’s Adjusted Gross Sales for any non-reported period and bill Tenant’s Percentage Rent accordingly. Landlord reserves the right, at Xxxxxxxx’s option, to adjust Percentage Rent xxxxxxxx when actual Adjusted Gross Sales reports are received. Percentage Rent shall become due and payable in each Lease Year on the fifteenth (15th) day of the month immediately following the month during which Adjusted Gross Sales exceed the Sales Breakpoint for such Lease Year, and thereafter shall be paid monthly on all additional Adjusted Gross Sales made during the remainder of such Lease Year, such payments to be made concurrently with the submission by Tenant to Landlord of the written statement of monthly Adjusted Gross Sales as provided for herein. Tenant will preserve for at least three (3) years at Tenant’s notice address all original books and records disclosing information pertaining to Gross Sales and Adjusted Gross Sales and such other information respecting Gross Sales and Adjusted Gross Sales as Landlord requires, including, but not limited to, cash register tapes, sales slips, sales checks, gross income and sales tax returns, bank deposit records, sales journals and other supporting data including itemized records of permitted exclusions. Landlord and its agents shall have the right during business hours to examine and audit such books and records preserved by Xxxxxx. If such examination or audit discloses a liability for Percentage Rent three percent (3%) or more in excess of the Percentage Rent paid by Tenant for any period and at least $500.00 of Percentage Rent is owed as the result of such audit, or if Tenant’s Gross Sales and Adjusted Gross Sales cannot be verified due to the insufficiency or inadequacy of Tenant’s records, or if Tenant shall have failed to furnish Landlord any monthly statement of Gross Sales and Adjusted Gross Sales during any Lease Year, Tenant shall promptly pay Landlord the cost of said audit. Tenant shall, in any event, pay to Landlord the amount of any deficiency in rents which is disclosed by such audit. If such examination or audit discloses an overpayment of Percentage Rent, then the excess, less the cost of such examination or audit, shall be credited to Xxxxxx’s account. Tenant’s obligation to preserve all original books and records shall survive the expiration of the Lease Term or the earlier termination of this Lease.
