less than one month shall be paid by the Tenant on a per diem basis,
based on a thirty (30) day month.
Tenant's Share shall be equal to 16.6% of the total Common Costs and
Expenses; which percentage is determined by dividing the square footage
of the Premises by the total rentable square footage of the Building.
Should the total rentable square footage of the Building change for any
reason whatsoever, the percentage set forth herein shall be subject to
adjustment accordingly. Tenant's Share is estimated to be equal to
$0.155 for each square foot of the Premises per month for the first
accounting period of the Lease term which is then estimated to equal
$1,491.10 per month for the first accounting period of the Lease term.
An accounting period is a calendar year except the first accounting
period shall commence on the date the Lease term or Tenants occupancy
commences, as the case may be, and the last accounting period shall end
on the date the Lease term expires. The first accounting period of the
Lease term shall be the first full calendar year in which the Lease term
or Tenant's occupancy, as the case may be, commences. Landlord can
adjust the Estimated Common Costs and Expenses at the commencement of
each new accounting period throughout the Lease term, whereupon Tenant's
Share shall be adjusted accordingly. If, at any time during any
accounting period, Landlord determines that the actual Common Costs and
Expenses for such accounting period will vary by more than five percent
(5%) from Landlord's original estimate, Landlord may, by written notice
to Tenant, adjust the Common Costs and Expenses for the remainder of
such accounting period, and accordingly, Tenant's Share to be paid
hereunder. Landlord shall furnish to Tenant, after each accounting
period, a statement showing the actual total Common Costs and Expenses,
the actual Tenant's Share, and the payments made by Tenant as part of
its Tenant's Share during such accounting period. After Landlord
supplies Tenant with a Common Area Costs and Expense Statement for the
previous year, Tenant shall have sixty (60) days to request an audit of
Landlord's books, with respect to this Lease, by an independent
accounting firm acceptable to Tenant and Landlord. The cost of audit
shall be the Tenant's unless the audit discovers an overcharge of more
than 5% in which case Landlord shall pay for audit and pay Tenant the
amount overcharged. If an audit discovers Landlord undercharged the
Tenant, the Tenant shall pay to Landlord additional Common Area costs,
and pay any costs related to the audit. If Tenant does not exercise it's
right to audit within the 60 (sixty) days after receiving the Common
Area Statement, Tenant has accepted Common Area Statement as correct and
waives all rights in the future to audit the year in question. If the
actual Tenant's Share exceeds Tenant's payments, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord the deficiency within thirty (30) days of Tenant's receipt of
such statement. If Tenant's payments made during tile accounting period
exceed the actual Tenant's Share, Landlord may, at Landlord's sole
election pay the excess to Tenant at the time Landlord furnishes said
statement, or credit the excess
6
toward Tenant's payments of Tenant's Share in the next succeeding
accounting period.

"Operating Expenses." "Property Taxes" shall include, without
limitation, all real and personal property taxes, charges and

hereby entirely freed and relieved of all liability under any
and all of its covenants and obligations contained in or derived
from this Lease arising out of any act, occurrence, or omission
occurring after the consummation of such sale or assignment; and
