The 260 Estimate chosen by such brokers shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant as the rental rate for the 260 Expansion Space during the 260 Renewal Term. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint a broker within the ten (10) day period referred to above, the broker appointed by the other party shall be the sole broker for the purposes hereof. If the two brokers cannot agree upon which of the two 260 Estimates most closely reflects the 260 Renewal Rental Rate within thirty (30) days after their appointment, then, within ten (10) days after the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, the two brokers shall select a third broker meeting the aforementioned criteria.

Upon such determination, the Basic Rent for the 260 Expansion Space shall be retroactively adjusted to the commencement of the 260 Renewal Term. If such adjustment results in an underpayment of Basic Rent by Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of such underpayment within thirty (30) days after the determination thereof. If such adjustment results in an overpayment of Basic Rent by Tenant, Landlord shall credit such overpayment against the next installment of Basic Rent due under the Lease for the 260 Expansion Space and, to the extent necessary, any subsequent installments, until the entire amount of such overpayment has been credited against Basic Rent for the 260 Expansion Space. 5. If Tenant is entitled to and properly delivers the 260 Arbitration Notice, the Lease shall be extended with respect to the 260 Expansion Space as provided herein and Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment to the Lease to reflect the extension of the Term and changes in Rent in accordance with this Exhibit, provided however, Tenant’s lease of the 260 Expansion Space on the terms set forth herein shall be effective notwithstanding the parties’ failure to enter into such amendment. 6. The renewal rights of Tenant hereunder shall not be severable from the Lease, nor may such rights be assigned or otherwise conveyed in connection with any permitted assignment of the Lease, except in connection with a Permitted Transfer. Landlord’s consent to any assignment of the Lease shall not be construed as allowing an assignment of such rights to any assignee. In the event an assignee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer exercises the renewal rights set forth herein, Tenant shall remain liable under the Lease for all of the obligations of the tenant hereunder during the 260 Renewal Term, whether or not Tenant has consented to or is notified of such renewal and Landlord shall have no obligation to obtain the consent of Tenant or to notify Tenant of such renewal. 7.

If such adjustment results in an underpayment of Basic Rent by Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of such underpayment within thirty (30) days after the determination thereof. If such adjustment results in an overpayment of Basic Rent by Tenant, Landlord shall credit such overpayment against the next installment of Basic Rent due under the Lease for the 260 Expansion Space and, to the extent necessary, any subsequent installments, until the entire amount of such overpayment has been credited against Basic Rent for the 260 Expansion SpaceRent. 5.
