Appraiser If it becomes necessary to determine the Fair Market Value of the Premises for any purpose of this Lease, the same shall be determined by an independent appraisal firm, in which one or more of the members, officers or principals of such firm are Members of the Appraisal Institute (or any successor organization thereto) and who are expert in valuation of facilities used for the Primary Intended Use, as may be reasonably selected by Landlord and approved by Tenant (the “Appraiser”). Landlord shall cause such Appraiser to determine the Fair Market Value of the Premises as of the relevant date (giving effect to the impact, if any, of inflation from the date of the Appraiser’s decision to the relevant date) and the determination of such Appraiser shall be final and binding upon the parties. A written report of such Appraiser shall be delivered and addressed to each of Landlord and Tenant. To the extent consistent with sound appraisal practice as then existing at the time of any such appraisal, an appraisal of Fair Market Value for purposes of this Lease shall take into account and shall give appropriate consideration to all three customary methods of appraisal (i.e., the cost approach, the sales comparison approach and the income approach), and no one method or approach shall be deemed conclusive simply by reason of the nature of Landlord’s business or because such approach may have been used for purposes of determining the fair market value of the Premises at the time of acquisition thereof by Landlord. This provision for determination by appraisal shall be specifically enforceable to the extent such remedy is available under applicable law, and any determination hereunder shall be final and binding upon the parties except as otherwise provided by applicable law. Tenant shall pay the fees and expenses of the Appraiser and all other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such appraisal. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the Appraiser within fifteen (15) days after Landlord notifies Tenant of the identity of Landlord’s selected Appraiser, then the following shall apply:
MAI Appraiser The cost of such application to the presiding judge shall be equally shared by the parties. Within five (5) days after completion of the third (3rd) MAI Appraiser’s appraisal, all three (3) MAI Appraisers shall meet and a majority of the MAI Appraisers shall attempt to determine the fair market value of the Premises or applicable portion thereof. If a majority are unable to determine the fair market value at such meeting, the three (3) appraisals shall be added together and their total divided by three (3). The resulting quotient shall be the Fair Market Value. If, however, either or both of the low appraisal or the high appraisal are more than ten percent (10%) lower or higher than the middle appraisal, any such lower or higher appraisal shall be disregarded. If only one (1) appraisal is disregarded, the remaining two (2) appraisals shall be added together and their total divided by two (2), and the resulting quotient shall be such Fair Market Value. If both the lower appraisal and higher appraisal are disregarded as provided herein, the middle appraisal shall be such Fair Market Value. In any event, the result of the foregoing appraisal process shall be final and binding.
The Appraisal The Mortgage Loan Documents contain an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property by an appraiser who is licensed in the state where the Mortgaged Property is located, and who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof; and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and the appraiser both satisfy the applicable requirements of Title XI of the Financial Institution Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated;
Independent Appraiser A Person with no material current or prior business or personal relationship with the Advisor or the Directors and who is a qualified appraiser of Real Property of the type held by the Company or of other Assets as determined by the Board. Membership in a nationally recognized appraisal society such as the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers or the Society of Real Estate Appraisers shall be conclusive evidence of such qualification as to Real Property.
Appraisers If it becomes necessary to determine the Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental of the Leased Property for any purpose of this Lease, the party required or permitted to give Notice of such required determination shall include in the Notice the name of a Person selected to act as appraiser on its behalf. Within ten (10) days after Notice, Lessor (or Lessee, as the case may be) shall by Notice to Lessee (or Lessor, as the case may be) appoint a second Person as appraiser on its behalf. The appraisers thus appointed, each of whom must be a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers (or any successor organization thereto) with at least five (5) years’ experience in the State appraising property similar to the Leased Property, shall, within forty-five (45) days after the date of the Notice appointing the first appraiser, proceed to appraise the Leased Property to determine the Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental thereof as of the relevant date (giving effect to the impact, if any, of inflation from the date of their decision to the relevant date); provided, however, that if only one appraiser shall have been so appointed, then the determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon the parties. To the extent consistent with sound appraisal practice as then existing at the time of any such appraisal, such appraisal shall be made on a basis consistent with the basis on which the Leased Property was appraised for purposes of determining its Fair Market Value at the time the Leased Property was acquired by Lessor. If two (2) appraisers are appointed and if the difference between the amounts so determined does not exceed five percent (5%) of the lesser of such amounts, then the Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental shall be an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the sum of the amounts so determined. If the difference between the amounts so determined exceeds five percent (5%) of the lesser of such amounts, then such two appraisers shall have twenty (20) days to appoint a third appraiser. If no such appraiser shall have been appointed within such twenty (20) days or within ninety (90) days of the original request for a determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental, whichever is earlier, either Lessor or Lessee may apply to any court having jurisdiction to have such appointment made by such court. Any appraiser appointed by the original appraisers or by such court shall be instructed to determine the Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental within forty-five (45) days after appointment of such appraiser. The determination of the appraiser which differs most in the terms of dollar amount from the determinations of the other two appraisers shall be excluded, and fifty percent (50%) of the sum of the remaining two determinations shall be final and binding upon Lessor and Lessee as the Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental of the Leased Property, as the case may be. This provision for determining by appraisal shall be specifically enforceable to the extent such remedy is available under applicable law, and any determination hereunder shall be final and binding upon the parties except as otherwise provided by applicable law. Lessor and Lessee shall each pay the fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed by it and each shall pay one-half of the fees and expenses of the third appraiser and one-half of all other costs and expenses incurred in connection with each appraisal.

The Party desiring an expert determination shall give the other Party written notice of the request for such determination.

The expert, once appointed, shall have no ex parte communications with any of the parties to the Dispute concerning the expert determination or the underlying Dispute.

The expert’s decision shall be final and binding on the Parties to the Dispute unless challenged in an arbitration pursuant to Sub-Article 41.2 within sixty (60) Days of the date the expert’s final decision is received by the Parties to the Dispute and until replaced by such subsequent arbitral award. In such arbitration (i) the expert determination on the specific matter shall be entitled to a rebuttable presumption of correctness; and (ii) the expert shall not (without the written consent of the parties to the Dispute) be appointed to act as an arbitrator or as adviser to the Parties to the Dispute. 107
Selection of Arbitrator Prior to arbitration, the complaining party shall cause the appointment of an AAA case manager by filing of a claim with the AAA along with the appropriate filing fee, and serving it on the defending party. The AAA case manager shall provide each party with a list of proposed arbitrators who meet the qualifications described below, or if no such person is available, who are generally familiar with the subject matter involved in the Dispute. Each side will have 14 days to strike any unacceptable names, number the remaining names in order of preference, and return the list to the AAA. The case manager shall then invite persons to serve from the names remaining on the list, in the designated order of mutual preference. Should this selection procedure fail for any reason, the AAA case manager shall appoint an arbitrator as provided in the applicable AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules.
Qualified Appraiser An appraiser, duly appointed by the Seller or the Originator, who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation was not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and such appraiser and the appraisal made by such appraiser both satisfied the requirements of Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated.
