(b) Operating costs for the following calendar year shall then be calculated by the operating costs referred to in (a) above, the amount of change that has occurred in the cost of each item of operating expenses between January 1st and December 31st of the preceding year. The net difference shall then be determined and 1/12th of this difference times the percentage factor described in (c) below shall be the amount by which the monthly rental shall be changed.
(c) Any increase in rental shall be based on Tenant’s proportionate share of the increase in operating expenses calculated as provided herein on the ratio determined herein which the area leased by Tenant bears to the total rentable and Common Areas in the property reasonably adjusted for changes in total occupancy. The percentage of occupancy may be reasonably adjusted by Lessor to reflect the different utilities and services provided individual Tenants.
