The arbitrator shall conduct such hearings and investigations as the arbitrator shall deem appropriate and shall, within thirty (30) days after having been appointed, choose one of the determinations set forth in either Landlord’s or Tenant’s Determination Notice, and that choice by the arbitrator shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Each party shall pay its own counsel fees and expenses, if any, in connection with any arbitration under this paragraph (a), and the parties shall share equally all other expenses and fees of any such arbitration. The determination rendered in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (a) shall be final and binding in fixing the Fair Market Rental Value.

In no event, however, shall the Base Rent during any portion of the Extended Term be less than the Base Rent in effect during the last year of the Initial Term.
