"Tenant's Prorata Share of Excess Operating Expenses" (based on the rentable square footage of the Premises divided by 61,975 the total rentable square footage of the Building), shall mean 92% of the Excess Operating Expenses for the applicable calendar year.  Landlord agrees to credit Tenant $1,134 for SLM’s office electrical use and $1,746 for Landlord’s data center electrical use per month against Tenant’s Prorata Share of Excess Operating Expenses for the Electric and N.
