To illustrate, if LESSEE's gross revenue for the first year that this agreement is in effect is $600,000 and the preceding year's gross revenue was $500,000, rental would be calculated as follows: 10% of (90% of $500,000) _ $45,000 9% of (10% of $500,000) _ $ 4,500 8% of ($600,000 - $500,000) = 8 000 TOTAL = $57,500 Notwithstanding the above language, in no event will the annual rental for this lease be less than forty thousand ($40,000) dollars. The above rental is payable month by month at a rate of ten percent (10%) of the preceding month's gross revenue, or nine percent (9%) of the preceding month's gross revenue when LESSEE's gross revenue for the year has exceeded ninety percent (90%) of - 4 - the preceding year's gross revenue, or eight percent (8%) of the preceding month's gross revenue when LESSEE's gross revenue for the year has exceeded the preceding year's total gross revenue. Such rental payments are due on or before the 20th day of each month and are to be accompanied by a verified statement showing the preceding month's gross revenue. For determining the rental due the CITY, gross revenue shall include but not be limited to the following: (1) All revenues received as mileage charges for rental of automobiles, trucks, vans and other vehicles.
