(iii)    Landlord may deliver to Tenant Landlord's reasonable estimate of any given expense (such as Landlord's Insurance Costs or Real Property Taxes), or group of expenses, which it reasonably anticipates will be paid or incurred for the ensuing calendar or fiscal year, as Landlord may determine, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the estimated amount of su ch expenses for such year in equal monthly installments during such year with the installments of Base Monthly Rent.

If any portion of the Property Operating Expenses relates solely to the Building and/or certain other buildings (and not to all buildings within the Property) then, if Landlord so elects, Tenant's Expense Share with respect to such items of Property Operating Expenses shall be deemed to be the percentage obtained by dividing the rentable square footage of the Leased Premises by the rentable square footage of the other Buildings within the Property to which such portion of the Property Operating Expenses relate("Tenant's Building Share").

The provisions of this Paragraph shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.
 
If requested by Tenant, Landlord shall permit Tenant to audit Landlord's books and records maintained by Landlord with respect to a given calendar year or any portion thereof, within two (2) years of Tenant's receipt of the year end reconciliation for the calendar year in question.
