Rent Adjustments 4.1 For the purpose of this Article 4, the following terms are defined as follows:
Base Rent Purchaser will receive a credit at Closing for the prorated amount of all base or fixed rent payable pursuant to the Leases and all Additional Rents (collectively, “Rent”) previously paid to, or collected by, Seller and attributable to any period following the Closing Date. Rents are “Delinquent” when they were due prior to the Closing Date, and payment thereof has not been made on or before the Closing Date. Delinquent Rent shall not be prorated at Closing. All Rent collected by Purchaser or Seller from each tenant from and after Closing will be applied as follows: (i) first, to Delinquent Rent owed for the month in which the Closing Date occurs (the “Closing Month”), (ii) second, to any accrued Rents owing to Purchaser, and (iii) third, to Delinquent Rents owing to Seller for the period prior to Closing. Any Rent collected by Purchaser and due Seller will be promptly remitted to Seller. Any Rent collected by Seller and due Purchaser shall be promptly remitted to Purchaser. Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to collect Delinquent Rents owed to Seller in the ordinary course of its business; provided, however, that Seller hereby retains the right to pursue any tenant under the Leases for any Rent and other sums due Seller for period attributable to Seller’s ownership of the Property; and provided further, however, Seller (i) shall be required to notify Purchaser in writing of Seller’s intention to commence or pursue any legal proceedings; and (ii) shall not be permitted to commence or pursue any legal proceedings against any tenant seeking eviction of such tenant or the termination of the underlying Lease. “Additional Rents” shall mean any and all amounts due from tenants for operating expenses, common area maintenance charges, taxes, shared utility charges, management fees, insurance costs, other comparable expenses and pass-through charges and any other tenant charges. The provisions of this Section 14.5 shall survive the Closing and the delivery of any conveyance documentation.
Rent Adjustment (a) If, solely as a result of Congressional enactment of any law (including, without limitation, any modification of, or amendment or addition to, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, ("CODE")), the maximum effective corporate income tax rate (exclusive of any minimum tax rate) for calendar-year taxpayers ("EFFECTIVE RATE") is higher than thirty-five percent (35%) for any year during the lease term, then Lessor shall have the right to increase such rent payments by requiring payment of a single additional sum. The additional sum shall be equal to the product of (i) the Effective Rate (expressed as a decimal) for such year less .35 (or, in the event that any adjustment has been made hereunder for any previous year, the Effective Rate (expressed as a decimal) used in calculating the next previous adjustment) times (ii) the adjusted Termination Value (defined below), divided by (iii) the difference between the new Effective Rate (expressed as a decimal) and one (1). The adjusted Termination Value shall be the Termination Value (calculated as of the first rent due in the year for which the adjustment is being made) minus the Tax Benefits that would be allowable under Section 168 of the Code (as of the first day of the year for which such adjustment is being made and all future years of the lease term). The Termination Values and Tax Benefits are defined on the Schedule. Lessee shall pay to Lessor the full amount of the additional rent payment on the later of (i) receipt of notice or (ii) the first day of the year for which such adjustment is being made.
