Landlord has the right to create up to 50,000 SF of additional space on the Property (the "Additional Space"). The creation of the Additional Space will reduce the Operating Expenses for the Premises (the "Additional Space Expense Reduction"). Tenant agrees that should Landlord create the Additional Space then the Rent shall be increased (effective as of the date of the inclusion of the Additional Space) by the amount of any Additional Space Expense Reduction. Such a reduction shall be computed (within six months of the inclusion of Additional Space) by subtracting (i) the Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Operating Expenses and Taxes computed after the inclusion of the Additional Space in the square footage calculations from (ii) Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Operating Expenses and Taxes computed before the inclusion of the Additional Space in the square footage calculations. Landlord shall provide Tenant with such computations for Tenant's review.
