(E) If the parties are unable to agree on the fair market value for the Demised Premises, then such dispute shall be determined by binding arbitration before three arbitrators in western Suffolk County, the administrative costs of such arbitration to be shared equally by the Landlord and Tenant, but each party shall be solely responsible for its owns costs, expenses and fees (including, without limitation, those of its counsel, witnesses and experts). No award shall, and the arbitrators shall not have the power to, reduce the fixed annual rent below the amount payable in the previous lease year; additionally, the fixed rent in the second through fifth years of the Option Period shall be increased by 3% per annum compounded (for example, if the fixed rent in the first year of the Option Period shall be $100.00 per annum, then the fixed rent in the second year of the Option Period shall be $103.00 per annum, the fixed rent in the third year of the Option Period shall be $106.09 per annum, etc.) Any award in arbitration may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Pending the determination of the fair market value, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the fixed annual rent payable in the preceding lease year, and upon such determination shall, within five days, pay to Landlord the difference between the amount of fixed annual rent theretofore paid during the Option Period and the amount of fixed annual rent determined to be due in such arbitration.
