In the event of a verification pursuant to this SECTION 3(g), the determination by the applicable firm performing such verification of the recalculated Basic Rent amounts, Termination Value amounts and Event of Default Termination Value amounts shall be final. Lessee shall pay the reasonable costs and expenses of any verification pursuant to this SECTION 3(g); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Lessor shall pay the reasonable costs and expenses of any such verification which (i) establishes an error adverse to Lessee, and (ii) results in an adjustment of Basic Rent amounts that causes the Net Present Value of Rents to decline by five (5) or more basis points or a material reduction of the Termination Values or the Event of Default Termination Values. Any recalculated Basic Rent amounts, Termination Value amounts and Event of Default Termination Value amounts that result from a verification pursuant to this SECTION 3(g) shall be set forth in a Lease Supplement or an amendment to the Lease. (d) AMENDMENT OF SECTION 7(a)(1).
