Determination of Values The Borrower will conduct reviews of the value to be assigned to each of its Eligible Portfolio Investments as follows:
Determination of Value (a) Whenever a determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value is required pursuant to any provision of this Lease, such Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value shall be determined in accordance with the following procedure:
(i) Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor to agree upon such Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value within thirty (30) days after the date (the “Applicable Initial Date”) on which (A) Tenant provides Landlord with notice of its intention to terminate this Lease and purchase the Affected Premises pursuant to Paragraph 18, (B) Landlord provides Tenant with notice of its intention to redetermine Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value pursuant to Paragraph 20(c) or (C) Landlord provides Tenant with notice of Landlord’s intention to require Tenant to make an offer to purchase the Leased Premises pursuant to Paragraph 23(a)(iii). Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor to agree on Fair Market Rental Value during the period following receipt by Landlord of a Notice of Interest to Renew and prior to the latest date for Tenant to deliver a Renewal Notice. Upon reaching such agreement, the parties shall execute an agreement setting forth the amount of such Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value.
(ii) If the parties shall not have signed such agreement (A) within thirty (30) days after the Applicable Initial Date or (B) with respect to a renewal option, during the period following Tenant’s delivery of a Notice of Intent to Renew and, with respect to a Renewal Term, Tenant has nonetheless delivered a Renewal Notice, Tenant shall within fifty (50) days after the Applicable Initial Date or the date of the Renewal Notice, as applicable, select an appraiser and notify Landlord in writing of the name, address and qualifications of such appraiser. Within twenty (20) days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice of the appraiser selected by Tenant, Landlord shall select an appraiser and notify Tenant of the name, address and qualifications of such appraiser. Such two appraisers shall endeavor to agree upon Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value based on a written appraisal made by each of them as of the Relevant Date (and given to Landlord by Tenant). If such two appraisers shall agree upon a Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value, the amount of such Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value as so agreed shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.
(iii) If such two appraisers shall be unable to agree upon a Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value within twenty (20) days after the selection of an appraiser by Landlord, then such appraisers shall advise Landlord and Tenant of their respective determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value and shall select a third appraiser to make the determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value. The selection of the third appraiser shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.
(iv) If such two appraisers shall be unable to agree upon the designation of a third appraiser within ten (10) days after the expiration of the twenty (20) day period referred to in clause (iii) above, or if such third appraiser does not make a determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value within twenty (20) days after his selection, then such third appraiser or a substituted third appraiser, as applicable, shall, at the request of either party hereto (with respect to the other party), be appointed by the President or Chairman of the American Arbitration Association in New York, New York. The determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value made by the third appraiser appointed pursuant hereto shall be made within twenty (20) days after such appointment.
(v) If a third appraiser is selected, Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value shall be the average of the determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value made by the third appraiser and the determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value made by the appraiser (selected pursuant to Paragraph 29(a)(ii) hereof) whose determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value is nearest to that of the third appraiser. Such average shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.
(vi) All appraisers selected or appointed pursuant to this Paragraph 29(a) shall (A) be independent qualified MAI appraisers (B) have no right, power or authority to alter or modify the provisions of this Lease, (C) utilize the definition of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value hereinabove set forth above, and (D) be registered in the State if the State provides for or requires such registration.
(vii) The Cost of the procedure described in this Paragraph 29(a) above shall be borne equally by Tenant and Landlord except that if the appraisals are conducted as a result of an Event of Default, the Cost shall be borne solely by Tenant.
(b) If, by virtue of any delay, Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value is not determined by the expiration or termination of the then current Term, then the date on which the Term would otherwise expire or terminate shall be extended with respect to the Leased Premises or the Affected Premises, as applicable, to the date specified for termination in the particular provision of this Lease pursuant to which the determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value is being made. If, by virtue of any delay, Fair Market Rental Value is not determined by the expiration or termination of the then current Term, then until Fair Market Rental Value is determined, Tenant shall continue to pay Basic Rent during the succeeding Renewal Term in the same amount which it was obligated under this Lease to pay prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term. When Fair Market Rental Value is determined, the appropriate Basic Rent shall be calculated retroactive to the commencement of the Renewal Term and Tenant shall either receive a refund from Landlord (in the case of an overpayment) or shall pay any deficiency to Landlord (in the case of an underpayment).
(c) In determining Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value as defined in clause (b) of the definition of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental Value, the appraisers shall add (a) the present value of the Rent for the remaining Term, assuming the Term has been extended for all extension periods provided herein (with assumed increases in the CPI to be determined by the appraisers) using a discount rate (which may be determined by an investment banker retained by each appraiser) based on the creditworthiness of Tenant and (b) the present value of the Leased Premises as of the end of such Term (having assumed the Term has been extended for all extension periods provided herein). The appraisers shall further assume that no default then exists under the Lease, that Tenant has complied (and will comply) with all provisions of the Lease.
(d) In determining Fair Market Rental Value, the appraisers shall determine with respect to each Related Premises the amount that a willing tenant would pay, and a willing landlord of a comparable building located in a radius of 125 miles of each Related Premises would accept, at arm’s length, to rent a building of comparable size and quality as the Improvements, taking into account: (a) the age, quality, condition (as required by the Lease) of the Improvements; (b) that the Leased Premises will be leased as a whole or substantially as a whole to a single user; (c) a lease term of five (5) years; (d) an absolute triple net lease; and (e) such other items that professional real estate appraisers customarily consider.

Company Determination Final Any determination that the Company or the Board of Directors must make pursuant to this Article is conclusive.
Determination of Gross-Up Payment Subject to sub-paragraph (c) below, all determinations required to be made under this Section 6, including whether a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, shall be made by the firm of independent public accountants selected by the Company to audit its financial statements for the year immediately preceding the Change in Control (the "Accounting Firm") which shall provide detailed supporting calculations to the Company and the Executive within 30 days after the date of the Executive's termination of employment. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group affecting the Change of Control, the Executive may appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required under this Section 6 (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the "Accounting Firm"). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm in connection with the work it performs pursuant to this Section 6 shall be promptly paid by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment shall be paid by the Company to the Executive within 5 days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm's determination. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive, it shall furnish the Executive with a written opinion that failure to report the Excise Tax on the Executive's applicable federal income tax return would not result in the imposition of a penalty. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made ("Underpayment"). In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to sub-paragraph (c) below, and the Executive is thereafter required to make a payment of Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall promptly determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be paid by the Company to the Executive within 5 days after such determination.
