Subtenant’s “Proportionate Share” shall be 100% of charges due under the Prime Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises, provided, however, the Base Expenses shall be calculated based upon the Operating Costs that would have been incurred if the Subleased Premises had been 100% occupied during the entire calendar year 2002 as provided in the Prime Lease.

-7-


Table of Contents
