  2. ADDITIONAL RENT. Lessee hereby acknowledges that this Lease is a full net lease thereby obligating Lessee to pay all costs of operating and managing the Property and the facilities located thereon or appurtenant thereto which shall include, but not be limited to: all real estate taxes and all other types of taxes (excepting real estate taxes to be paid to Springfield Township) assessed against the Property or the operation of the Property, fire and extended coverage or all risk insurance, sprinkler and fire system monitoring, HVAC maintenance and repair, liability insurance, lawn and shrubbery care, snow removal, maintenance and repairs to buildings and all improvements (except as otherwise provided herein), sign maintenance, repair of parking lots, pavement and curbs, repainting of parking lot lines, exterior painting, repainting and redecorating, common area maintenance, security, lighting, cleaning, and any other normal and customary fees and costs related to the operation of the Property. If Lessor shall incur any costs as a result of services requested by Lessee, or as a result of Lessee's failure to comply with the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, Lessee shall be responsible for any such costs. It is presently anticipated that Lessee will pay all of the foregoing items directly to the taxing authorities, insurers and entities providing services to the Premises; however, at the option of Lessor, Lessor may require Lessee to pay the additional rent to Lessor monthly, in an amount equal to the estimated amount of all of the costs of operating and managing the Premises for one year, divided by 12. In such event, Lessor shall determine the actual cost of operating and managing the Premises once per year, and if the actual costs are greater than the estimated costs that have been paid by Lessee, the Lessee shall pay to Lessor the difference between the actual cost and estimated cost paid by Lessee with the next payment of Minimum Annual Rent. If the actual costs are less than the estimated costs paid by Lessee, Lessor shall credit the amount of Lessee's excess payment against Lessee's future Additional Rent payments, except in the last year of the Term in which event Lessor shall refund such excess payment to Lessee within sixty (60) days after such expiration.
  3. PERCENTAGE RENT. In addition to the payment of Minimum Annual Rent and all other forms of Additional Rent, Lessee shall pay Lessor during each Lease Year of the Term, as additional rent, the percentage rent as described below (sometimes referred to herein as "Percentage Rent"). During the Term, Percentage Rent shall be six percent (6%) of the amount by which Lessee's Total Gross Receipts, as hereinafter defined, exceed One Million Five Hundred Thousand ($1,500,000.00) Dollars but do not exceed Two Million ($2,000,000.00) Dollars and eight (8%) percent of the amount by which Lessee's Total Gross Receipts exceed Two Million ($2,000,000.00) Dollars.
    1. TOTAL GROSS RECEIPTS. The term "Total Gross Receipts" is defined to mean the gross receipts of the Lessee from all business conducted on or from the Premises. They shall include receipts obtained at the Premises or elsewhere, whether paid by check, credit, charge account, exchange or otherwise. They shall include amounts received from the sale of all items, food, liquor, merchandise, fees, or services offered and performed, together with the amount of all orders taken or received at the Premises whether the orders are filled from the Premises or elsewhere. Total Gross Receipts shall not include sales of merchandise to the extent that cash has been refunded or allowances made for merchandise claimed to be defective or unsatisfactory. The sales price of merchandise returned by customers for exchange shall be deducted from Total Gross Receipts only if the receipts from this merchandise were included in Total Gross Receipts. Total Gross Receipts will not include any sales or use tax imposed by any governmental authority directly on sales and collected from customers, provided that the amount of these taxes is added to the selling price as a separate and distinct amount, and then is actually paid to the governmental authority by the Lessee. No franchise fees, income tax, or any tax based upon income or profits shall be deducted from Total Gross Receipts.
    2. STATEMENTS.
      1. Within one hundred and twenty (120) days following the end of each calendar year of the Term, Lessee shall submit a Statement, in writing, duly signed and certified by an officer or other principal of Lessee, setting forth the Total Gross Receipts for the preceding Lease Year, accompanied by any Percentage Rent due. Failure on the part of the Lessee to deliver the statement of Total Gross Receipts on any due date or the prompt payment of any Percentage Rent determined to be due shall constitute a default under this Lease. Lessor shall have the right, upon five (5) days written notice at any time within ninety (90) days after receipt of the Statement for the prior calendar year, to employ a certified public accountant to examine the Lessee's books and records as necessary to certify Lessee's Total Gross Receipts for the previous calendar year. In the event that such audit discloses an underpayment by Lessee, Lessee shall pay the amount of the underpayment to Lessor within twenty (20) days of receipt of the calculation of the underpayment and in the event that Lessee understated the Total Gross Receipts by more than three (3%) percent, Lessee shall also reimburse Lessor for the cost of the audit within twenty (20) days of receipt of a bill from Lessor.
      2. Within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year of this Lease, Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to Lessor, a complete audited annual financial statement including an audit opinion and management letter, based on the calendar year commencing January 1st and ending December 31st, certified to be correct by Lessee and prepared by an independent certified public accountant in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals. There shall thereafter be a meeting of the parties within thirty (30) days after receipt of the audit to review the financial condition and operations of the Flourtown Country Club.
    3. LESSEE'S RECORDS. Lessee agrees to prepare and keep on the Premises full and complete financial records reflecting the results of all business transactions conducted in, on or from the Premises.

Lessee's financial records shall reflect only those transactions conducted in accordance with the operation of the Flourtown Country Club, and shall not be maintained on a consolidated basis with other activities of Lessee or with any other entity affiliated with Lessee. Lessee shall keep the records required under this Section on the Premises for a period of not less than three (3) years following the end of each calendar year or partial calendar year.
  4. ADDITIONAL CHARGES. Lessee also agrees to pay as additional rent hereunder any and all sums which may become due by reason of Lessee's failure to comply with all of the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease and any and all damages, costs and expenses which the Lessor may suffer or incur by reason of any default by Lessee or failure by Lessee to comply with the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease and also any and all damages to the Property caused by any act or neglect of Lessee, or Lessee's agents, workmen, employees or invitees.
  5. RENTALS. Minimum Annual Rent, Percentage Rent, Additional Rent and any other Lessee charges are hereinafter collectively called "Rentals".
  6. LATE PAYMENTS. In the event any payment of Rentals is received by Lessor more than ten (10) days after the date on which it is due, such late payment shall be subject to a late charge equal to ten (10%) of such payment and shall be due with the next installment of Rentals.
  7. Any payment by Lessee or acceptance by Lessor of a lesser amount than shall be due from Lessee to Lessor shall be treated as a payment on account. The acceptance by Lessor of a check for a lesser amount with an endorsement or statement thereon, or upon any letter accompanying such check, that such lesser amount is payment in full or payment for particular Lease charges, shall be given no effect and Lessor may accept such check without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which Lessor may have against Lessee. Lessor may apply such payments against the earliest outstanding Lease charges, or in any other manner which it may choose to account for such payments.

5. SECURITY DEPOSIT.

Lessor shall have the right to apply any part of the Security Deposit to cure any default of Lessee and if Lessor does so, Lessee shall, within five (5) days of being notified by Lessor of the amount withdrawn from the Security Deposit, deposit with Lessor the amount so applied so that Lessor shall have the full Security Deposit on hand at all times during the Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any law or statute now existing or hereafter passed, (i) Lessee shall be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit at the rate determined by the bank, (ii) Lessor shall hold the Security Deposit in a separate account at Commerce Bank, and (iii) Lessor shall not co-mingle the Security Deposit with its other funds. Lessor may use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the Security Deposit to the extent required for the payment of any Rentals payable hereunder as to which Lessee is in default or to the extent required for the reimbursement to Lessor of any sum which Lessor may expend or may be required to expend by reason of Lessee's default in respect to any of the terms, covenants, agreements and conditions of this Lease.

  1. LESSOR'S LIABILITY. In the event of a sale or transfer of Lessor's estate or interest in the Property, the Lessor shall have the right to transfer the said Security Deposit to the purchaser or transferee and, upon written acknowledgment from the purchaser or transferee to Lessee of receipt (or crediting) of the required Security Deposit hereunder, the Lessor shall be considered released by Lessee from all liability for the return of such Security Deposit and the Lessee shall look solely to the purchaser or transferee for the return of said Security Deposit, and it is agreed that this shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the Security Deposit to a new purchaser or transferee.

Such lien shall be prior and superior to any and all other liens thereupon whatsoever. Lessee agrees Lessor may file any financing statements and that Lessee will execute any security agreements which are necessary, in the reasonable opinion of Lessor, to properly attach and perfect the liens and security interests granted herein.

Any such notice, request, demand or communication shall be deemed to have been given on the date of mailing. Either party may at any time, in the manner set forth for giving notices to the other, specify a different address to which notices to it shall be sent.

33. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Upon Lessor's written request, Lessee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor a written statement certifying: (i) that none of the terms or provisions of this Lease have been changed (or if they have been changed, stating how they have been changed); (ii) that this Lease has not been cancelled or terminated; (iii) the last date of payment of the Rentals and other charges and the time period covered by such payment; (iv) that Lessor is not in default under this Lease (or, if Lessor is claimed to be in default, stating why); and (v) such other matters as may be reasonably required by Lessor or the holder of a mortgage, deed of trust or lien to which the Premises is or becomes subject. Lessee shall deliver such statement to Lessor within ten (10) days after Lessor's request. Any such statement by Lessee may be given by Lessor to any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises. Such purchaser or encumbrancer may rely conclusively upon such statement as true and correct. If Lessee does not deliver such statement to Lessor within such ten (10) day period, Lessor, and any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer, may conclusively presume and rely upon the following facts: (i) that the terms and provisions of this Lease have not been changed except as otherwise represented by Lessor; (ii) that this Lease has not been cancelled or terminated except as otherwise represented by Lessor; (iii) that not more than one month's Rentals or other charges have been paid in advance; and (iv) that Lessor is not in default under the Lease.

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Lease, prior to the expiration of the ninth Lease Year, Lessor shall have the one (1) time right and option (the "Recapture Option"), exercisable by Lessor giving Lessee written notice prior to the expiration of the ninth Lease Year, of terminating this Lease with respect to the Premises, which termination shall be effective upon the expiration of the tenth Lease Year (the "Termination Date"). If Lessor elects to exercise such Recapture Option, all Rentals shall be adjusted as of the date of such termination and the parties shall be released thereby without further obligation to the other party coincident with the surrender of possession of the Premises to Lessor, except for obligations which accrued prior to the date of termination. Lessee and Lessor acknowledge that Lessor shall not exercise the Recapture Option as a means to terminate the Lease and replace Lessee with another tenant who will then run the Flourtown Country Club, but shall only exercise the Recapture Option if it decides to change the Use of the Premises. Upon the Termination Date Lessor shall pay to Lessee a termination fee (the "Termination Fee") equal to the sum of: (i) the unamortized cost of any improvements to the Premises made by Lessee and approved by Lessor (the "Approved Improvements"), provided, that, such improvements shall be amortized over the shorter of fifteen (15) years or their useful life as determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principals ("GAAP"); and (ii) two (2) times the average of Lessee's net income (as determined in accordance with GAAP) for Lease Years 7, 8 and 9.
