of each month's utility xxxx being equivalent to forty percent (40%) of the
total utility charges, and such payments shall be made by the Sublessee to the
Sublessor as an additional monthly rental charge.

service maintained in the Building if caused by strikes, mechanical
difficulties, or any causes beyond Sublessor's control, whether similar or

Sublessor or to any abatement in rent, nor shall the same constitute
constructive or partial eviction.
