4 8          Miscellaneous.  Any delay or failure by Landlord in delivering any Estimate Statement or Actual Statement pursuant to this Section 4 will not constitute a waiver of its right to require an increase in additional rent for Operating Expenses nor will it relieve Tenant of its obligations pursuant to this Section 4, except that Tenant will not be obligated to make any payments based on such Estimate Statement or Actual Statement until thirty (30) days after receipt of such Estimate Statement or Actual Statement.
