Tenant may object to Landlord’s determination of FMV only by providing written notice of such objection to Landlord within ten (10) days of Tenant’s receipt of notice of Landlord’s determination of FMV. If Tenant fails to object to Landlord’s determination of FMV within such ten (10) day period, Landlord’s determination of FMV shall be conclusive and binding and Tenant shall have waived any right to object to same.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Base Rent during the Extension Term be less than the Base Rent during the Lease Term. Landlord and Tenant intend this arbitration procedure to be a valid, enforceable and irrevocable agreement.”
