Tenant agrees to pay, as "Additional Rent", "Tenant's Share" as determined by dividing the Net Rentable Area of the Premises by the Net Rentable Area of the Building (and which is stipulated, unless the Premises or the Building are increased or decreased, to be 2.0756%) of any increase in the Operating Costs, as defined in Section 5.03 Determination of Operating Costs, of the Project for the calendar year 2006. Section 5.03 Payment of Additional Rent (a) Prior to the Commencement Date and (b) for each calendar year during the Term following that in which the Commencement Date occurs, prior to January 1 of each such year, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a projection of Tenant's Share of the Operating Costs for the ensuing year, and Tenant shall thereafter pay on the first day of each month during such year, as Additional Rent, without demand, set-off or counterclaim, one-twelfth of Tenant's Shares of the projected increase of Operating Costs over the Operating Costs for the Base Year. On or before June 1 of each year during the Term, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a statement of the prior year's actual Operating Costs showing the calculated increase in the Operating Costs over the Base Year and Tenant's Share thereof. If Tenant's Share of the increase of Operating Costs over the Base Year Operating Costs is more than that paid by Tenant during the prior calendar year as Additional Rent, Tenant shall pay Landlord, within thirty (30) days of the statement receipt, the difference. If Tenant paid more as Additional Rent during the prior calendar year than Tenant's Share of the actual Operating Cost for the year in which the Lease expires or is otherwise terminated shall be prorated through the date of such expiration or termination. The obligations of the Landlord or Tenant to pay the adjustment for actual Operating Cost shall survive such expiration or termination. Section 5.06 Gross Up Operating Costs for any calendar year during which actual occupancy of the Project is less than 95% of the Rentable Area of the Project, shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect 95% occupancy of the existing Rentable Area of the Project during such period. In determining Operating Costs, if any service or utilities are separately charged to tenants of the Project or others, Operating Costs shall be adjusted by Landlord to reflect the amount of expense which would have been incurred for such services or utilities on a full time basis for normal Project operating hours.

Section 5.07 Right to Audit or Inspect Tenant, at its expense, shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit or inspect Landlord's books and records relating to this Lease for any year, upon thirty (30) business days' written notice to Landlord. Such inspection or audit shall take place where the books and records of Landlord for the Project are kept. Said records shall be kept at the Building Management office located at 12777 Jones Road, Houston, Texas.
