but in any case shall not be below the rent payable for the year immediately preceding; and

Determination by Third Parties
|
(a)
|
within fourteen (14) days after the date stipulated in Paragraph 2 of this Schedule, each of the Landlord and the Tenant shall at its own cost appoint any one of the following valuers:
|
(i)
|
Colliers International;
|
(ii)
|
Jones Lang LaSalle Property Consultants Pte Ltd;
|
(iii)
|
CB Richard Ellis (Pte) Ltd;
|
(iv)
|
DTZ Debenham Tie Leung (SEA) Pte Ltd; and
|
(v)
|
Knight Frank Pte Ltd,
|
(b)
|
if the variance between the two valuations obtained pursuant to the valuation carried out under Paragraph 3(a) does not exceed five per cent (5%) of the higher valuation obtained, the average of the two Appointed Valuers’ valuations made in accordance with paragraph 3(a) of this Schedule shall be the Prevailing Market Rent and be binding and conclusive on both the Landlord and the Tenant but if only one Appointed Valuer has been appointed or has reported in accordance with the said paragraph 3(a), the valuation of the Appointed Valuer so appointed and reporting shall be the Prevailing Market Rent and shall be conclusive and binding on the Landlord and the Tenant; and
|
(c)
|
if the variance between the two valuations obtained pursuant to the valuation carried out under Paragraph 3(a) of this Schedule exceeds five per cent (5%) of the higher valuation obtained, the Landlord and the Tenant shall within seven (7) days from the date of the later valuation report jointly appoint a third approved valuer (the "
Approved Valuer
") from the aforesaid list of Appointed Valuer or in the event that the Landlord and the Tenant cannot agree on the appointment of the Approved Valuer, such Approved Valuer as appointed by the President of the Institution of Surveyors and Valuers to whom the Parties shall refer, to report in writing to both parties hereto, the Approved Valuer’s valuation of the Prevailing Market Rent within twenty-one (21) days of his appointment (the "
Approved Valuer's Rent Review Date
"). Such Approved Valuer shall act as an expert and not an arbitrator and the Prevailing Market Rent shall in such case be derived by taking the average of the two valuations which are closest in value from the three valuation reports obtained pursuant to Paragraphs 3(b) and (c) herein, and such Prevailing Market Rent shall be binding on the Landlord and Tenant. The costs and expenses of the Approved Valuer shall be borne by the parties in equal shares.
|
(d)
|
For the avoidance of doubt, if the Prevailing Market Rent is not determined by the commencement date of the First Option Term or Second Option Term, as the case may be, the Tenant shall continue to pay the Rent then applicable to the Landlord until the Prevailing Market Rent has been determined. Upon determination of the Prevailing Market Rent, the rent, service charge and security deposit amount will be adjusted accordingly with effect from the Relevant Rent Review Date. If there is any underpayment, the shortfall must be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord, free of interest, within fourteen (14) days from the date of determination of the Prevailing Market Rent. If there is any overpayment, the excess will be paid by the Landlord to the Tenant, free of interest, within fourteen (14) days of the date of determination of the Prevailing Market Rent or (at the Landlord’s discretion) be applied by the Landlord towards the rent and service charge payable by the Tenant on the next Payment Date.
