incurred by LESSOR during the preceding one-year period, and use said evaluation to establish
Operating Expenses for each subsequent one-year period. Where an evaluation reveals that

LESSEE ("Operating Excess"), LESSEE shall pay to LESSOR, within sixty (60) days of receipt
of a reasonably detailed invoice, the Operating Excess for the subject term. Any Operating
Excess greater than five percent (5%) shall be accompanied by a statement reasonably
detailing the Operating Excess. In the event of an overpayment by LESSEE, LESSOR shall
