Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year during the Term or as soon thereafter as practicable, Lessor will furnish to Lessee a statement("Lessor's statement (“Lessor’s Statement"”) setting forth in reasonable detail the actual Building Expenses paid or incurred by Lessor during the preceding year, and thereupon within ten twenty (1020) days an adjustment will be made by Lessee's ’s payment to Lessor (in the event of reconciliation of an underestimate of Building Expenses of fifteen percent (15%) or less) or credit to Lessee by Lessor against the Building Expenses next becoming due from Lessee, as, as the case may require, to the end that Lessor shall receive the entire amount of Lessee's ’s Percentage Share of Building Expenses for such calendar year and no more; provided, however, that in the event of a reconciliation of an underestimate of Building Expenses of more than fifteen percent (15%), Lessee shall have the right to pay any such reconciliation amount in three (3) equal monthly installments payable within twenty (20), fifty (50) and eighty (80) days following Lessee’s receipt of the applicable Lessor’s Statement.

Building Taxes and Building Operating Expenses. The parties hereby acknowledge that certain “Building Expenses” (as hereinafter defined) relate only to certain elements of the Building, and that other Building Expenses relate to the entire Building. Accordingly, Lessor shall have the right to reasonably establish cost pools for the components of Building Expenses relating only to certain elements of the Building, and for Building Expenses relating to the entire Building, and to reasonably in good faith allocate Building Expenses among such cost pools. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lessor has established such cost pools to allocate Building Expenses between the office use portions of the Building (the “Office Cost Pool”) and the retail/service/commercial uses of the Building (the “Retail Cost Pool”). Lessee shall pay to ---------------------------------------------- Lessor, as additional rent and without deduction or offset, from and after the Commencement Date, Lessee's ’s percentage share set forth in Article 1.j.
