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.
