- “Total Square Feet” means the total amount of square feet that a given Part 1 Franchised Facility has under management, including: (i) portions of a premises that are leased as an individual suite to potential customers (each, a “Suite”); and (ii) all other square footage that makes up the Facility for the Part 1 Franchised Facility.
- “Net Rent Per Sq. Ft.” means the net rent charged per square foot under the lease for the premises of each Part 1 Franchised Facility. Net Rent for a given Part 1 Franchised Facility (i) does not account for the corresponding Free Rent or Tenant Improvement Allowance, if any, that the landlord provided to the franchise owner of that Facility (and as disclosed more fully in the table above), and (ii) is not the same as “triple net” rent.
- “Free Rent (Days)” means the number of days, if any, that the landlord for the premises of a given Part 1 Franchised Facility (each, a “Lessor”) agreed not to charge the owner of that Facility as part of the negotiations to incentivize the owner to enter into the lease.
- If a Part 1 Franchised Facility has Free Rent (Days), then the term “Free Rent Total Dollars” means the dollar value of the Free Rent over that number of Days, which is calculated by taking the applicable rent per day and multiplying it by the number of Free Rent (Days).
- “Tenant Improvement Allowance” means the total dollar amount that the Lessor for the premises of a given Part 1 Franchised Facility agreed to pay, contribute, or credit in connection with gross construction costs associated with building out that Facility as part of the negotiations to incentivize the franchise owner to enter into a lease for that premises.
- “Leasable Square Footage” for a given Part 1 Franchised Facility means the actual square footage at that Facility that can be leased/subleased to a third party (rather than the Total Square Footage). Please note that Salons by JC only had data for 106 of the 108 Part 1 Franchised Facilities. As such, the average, median, and percentage met or exceeded are calculated using 106 as the total for this category.
- “Leasable Square Footage %” for each Part 1 Franchised Facility is calculated by taking the total Leasable Square Footage for that Facility, and dividing that figure by the Total Square Feet for that Facility. Please note that Salons by JC only had data for 106 of the 108 Part 1 Franchised Facilities.
- “Gross Sales” means the total revenue generated by your Salons by JC Business, including all revenue generated from leasing salon suites at your Facility and all amounts paid by Operators and/or their clientele for vending, laundry, and any other Approved Products or Approved Services offered at your Facility, whether such revenues are evidenced by cash, check, credit, charge, account, barter, or exchange.
- Gross Sales does not include the sale of products or services for which refunds have been made in good faith to customers, the sale of equipment used in the operation of the Salons by JC Business, any sales tax or other taxes collected from customers by you and paid directly to the appropriate taxing authority, or any reduction in revenue due to coupon sales.
