e. any expenses paid by any tenant directly to third parties, or as to which Landlord is otherwise reimbursed by any third party or by any insurance proceeds.

Unless resolved by the parties, such dispute shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the then prevailing rules of the American Arbitration Association. If the arbitration proceedings result in a determination that the Operating Costs Statement contained an aggregate discrepancy of less than five percent (5%), Tenant shall bear all costs in connection with such arbitration.
