____________________
(1) At lease inception (or upon modification), we determine the minimum lease payments under ASC 842, which exclude amounts determined to be contingent rent. Contingent rent is generally amounts in excess of specified floors or the variable rent portion of our leases. The minimum lease payments are recognized on an effective interest basis at a constant rate of return over the life of the lease and the contingent rent portion of the lease payments are recognized as earned, both in accordance with ASC 842. As of March 31, 2022, we have recognized contingent rent from our Margaritaville Lease, Greektown Lease, and Caesars Las Vegas Master Lease in relation to the variable rent portion of the respective leases. Refer to the Lease Provisions section below for information regarding contingent rent on each lease.
(2) Represents the Harrah’s Original Call Properties and the JACK Cleveland/Thistledown Lease, both of which were sale leaseback transactions. In accordance with ASC 842, since the lease agreements were determined to meet the definition of a sales-type lease and control of the asset is not considered to have been transferred to us, such lease agreements are accounted for as financings under ASC 310.
(3) Amounts represent the non-cash adjustment to the minimum lease payments from sales-type leases and lease financing receivables in order to recognize income on an effective interest basis at a constant rate of return over the term of the leases.
At March 31, 2022, minimum lease payments owed to us for each of the five succeeding years under sales-type leases and our leases accounted for as financing receivables, are as follows:

With respect to the Penn National Leases, after the first percentage rent reset, any amounts related to variable (percentage) rent are considered contingent rent in accordance with GAAP.

Capital Expenditure Requirements
We manage our residual asset risk through protective covenants in our Lease Agreements, which require the tenant to, among other things, hold specific insurance coverage, engage in ongoing maintenance of the property and invest in capital improvements. With respect to the capital improvements, the Lease Agreements specify certain minimum amounts that our tenants must spend on capital expenditures that constitute installation, restoration and repair or other improvements of items with respect to the leased properties. Except for as specifically provided for in the below table, which summarizes the capital expenditure requirements of the respective tenants under certain of the Lease Agreements, the tenants under our other Lease Agreements are all required to spend a minimum of 1% of net revenues or net gaming revenues, as the case may be:
