Apportionment of Taxes If the Acquired Company is permitted, but not required, under applicable foreign, state or local Income Tax Laws to treat the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period, such day shall be treated as the last day of a taxable period. All Taxes and Tax liabilities with respect to the Acquired Company that relate to a Straddle Period shall be apportioned between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period as follows: (a) in the case of Taxes that are either (i) based upon or measured by reference to income, receipts, profits, capital, or net worth (including sales and use Taxes), (ii) imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), other than conveyances pursuant to this Agreement (as provided under Section 7.7.6), or (iii) required to be withheld, such Taxes apportioned to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the Tax year (or other Tax reporting period to the extent such Taxes are reported and paid other than on an annual basis) ended at the end of the day on the Closing Date; and (b) in the case of all other Taxes, such Taxes apportioned to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (A) any deduction attributable to any Selling Expenses (including any amount that would have been included in calculating Selling Expenses but for the fact that such amount was paid prior to the Closing) shall be allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, (B) any Taxes attributable to any action taken by Buyer or the Acquired Company on or after the Closing Date that is not in the ordinary course of business shall be allocated to the taxable period beginning after the Closing on the Closing Date, and (C) for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any and all Taxes and Tax-related expenses attributable to any action taken by the Acquired Company or Seller pursuant to Sections 2.3.2, 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 of this Agreement shall be the responsibility of Seller.
Other Prorations Water and sewer charges, propane, interest on continuing loan, and .
Apportionments The following apportionments shall be made between Seller and Purchaser as of 11:59 p.m. local time at the Property, on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Apportionment Date”).
(a) Amounts paid or payable under the Leases, under any new leases executed after the date of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions hereof and under all Operating Agreements. At the Closing, Seller shall either deliver to Purchaser any security deposits actually held by Seller pursuant to the Leases or credit to the account of Purchaser the amount of such security deposits (to the extent such security deposits are not applied against delinquent rentals or otherwise as provided in the Leases). Unpaid and delinquent rent under the Leases collected by Seller or Purchaser after the Closing Date shall be delivered as follows: (a) if Seller collects any unpaid or delinquent rent for the Property, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser any such rent relating to the date of Closing and any period thereafter within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, and (b) if Purchaser collects any unpaid or delinquent rent from the Property, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller any such rent relating to the period prior to the date of Closing within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof. Seller and Purchaser agree that all rent received by Seller or Purchaser after the date of Closing shall be applied first to current rentals and then to delinquent rentals, if any, in inverse order of maturity. Purchaser will make a good faith effort after Closing to collect all rents in the usual course of Purchaser’s operation of the Property, but Purchaser will not be obligated to institute any lawsuit or other collection procedures to collect delinquent rents. With respect to percentage rents based upon gross sales or other income generated by the business of a tenant located on the Property during a specified period of time (the “Applicable Period”), Purchaser shall, upon collection of such percentage rent, remit to Seller an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the percentage rent so collected by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days which have elapsed in the Applicable Period prior to the date of Closing and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Applicable Period. With respect to additional rent attributable to insurance, taxes, common area maintenance and other operating expenses which are passed through to tenants under the Lease (the “Pass Through Expenses”) which (i) have been billed by Seller to tenants prior to Closing but which have not been collected or (ii) which have not been billed to tenants by Seller prior to Closing and relate to periods prior to the Closing and for which Purchaser bills subsequent to closing (Purchaser hereby agreeing to so xxxx on Seller’s behalf), Purchaser shall in accordance with each such tenant’s lease and upon collection of same, remit to Seller an amount equal to that portion of Pass Through Expenses which accrued prior to Closing. If Seller has billed and collected Pass Through Expenses which relate to periods after the Closing or if Seller has collected and not expended monies for obligations as to Pass Through Expenses as to which Purchaser would be liable or would be obligated to refund to tenants, Seller shall credit the same to Purchaser at Closing. Any Pass Through Expenses collected by Purchaser after the Closing shall be applied as designated by the tenant and if the tenant does not designate, first to current Pass Through Expenses and then to delinquent Pass Through Expenses, if any, in the inverse order of maturity. Purchaser hereby assumes responsibility for the payment of any unpaid leasing commissions and tenant inducement costs with respect to any new Leases or Lease renewal or modification approved (or deemed approved) by Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.4(c) below from and after the Effective Date. Seller shall be responsible for payment of and shall credit Purchaser at Closing with any unpaid leasing commissions and tenant inducement costs with respect to the current terms of the Leases at the Property other than such approved new Leases or renewals or modifications.
(b) Rental under the Ground Lease and payments due into the Basin Management Fund (as defined in that certain Recreational Land Use Agreement dated June 10, 1985, by and between the United States acting through the Bureau of Reclamation and the City of Scottsdale, Arizona, as amended, and applied to the Hotel pursuant to the 3rd Amendment to the Ground Lease).
(c) Tour agents’ and travel agents’ commissions with respect to the Hotel.
(d) General real estate taxes, water or sewer rates and charges (if not metered), personal property taxes, or any other governmental tax or charge levied or assessed against the Property (collectively, the “Taxes”), relating to the Property and payable during the year in which Closing occurs. If the Closing shall occur before the actual Taxes payable during the year of Closing are known, the apportionment of Taxes shall be upon the basis of the latest available tax rates and assessed value of the Property, provided that, if the Taxes for the year of Closing are thereafter determined to be more or less than the Taxes for the preceding year (after any appeal of the assessed valuation thereof is concluded), Seller and Purchaser promptly (but no later than the date that is thirty (30) days from and after the date that the final invoices for taxes for the Property for the year in which the Closing occurs are issued by the applicable taxing authority, except in the case of an ongoing tax protest) shall adjust the proration of such Taxes, and Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall pay to the other any amount required as a result of such adjustment. Further, if Seller or Purchaser undertakes a tax protest with respect to all or any portion of the Taxes for the year in which Closing occurs or Seller does so with respect to any previous year, any refund relating to any previous year shall be the property of Seller, and any refund relating to the year in which Closing occurs shall be prorated as of the Apportionment Date, subject in each case to payment of any of such refunds as are due to Tenants under the Leases. All Taxes assessed for periods after the date of Closing shall be paid by Purchaser.
(e) With respect to electricity, telephone, television, cable television, gas, water and sewer services that are metered and other utilities (collectively, the “Utilities”), Seller shall endeavor to have the respective companies providing the Utilities read the meters for the Utilities on or immediately prior to the Apportionment Date. Seller shall be responsible for all charges based on such final meter reading, and Purchaser shall be responsible for all charges thereafter. If such readings are not obtainable, then, until such time as readings are obtained, charges for all Utilities for which readings were not obtained shall be pro rated as of the Apportionment Date based upon the per diem rate obtained by using the last period and bills for such Utilities that are available. Upon the taking of a subsequent actual reading, such apportionment shall be adjusted to reflect the actual per diem rate for the billing period in which the date of Closing falls, and Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall promptly deliver to the other the amount determined to be due upon such adjustment.
(f) Room charges, room service charges, valet, telephone and similar charges as to the Hotel for the night commencing on the Apportionment Date and ending on the morning of the date of Closing shall be apportioned fifty percent (50%) to Seller and fifty percent (50%) to Purchaser. Dinner and bar charges for the evening of the Apportionment Date shall be the property of Seller. Breakfast charges for the morning of the date of Closing shall be the property of Purchaser.
(g) Seller shall receive full reimbursement from Purchaser at Closing for each of the following items:
(i) prepaid fees or other charges for transferable licenses, advertising expenses (but only to the extent such expenses relate to advertising reasonably useable by Purchaser), permits, telephone equipment, telephone rental, or other items, if any, to the extent the rights to such prepaid fees or other charges are assigned by Seller to Purchaser at Closing; and
(ii) transferable deposits with companies providing Utilities, if any, to the extent the rights to such transferable deposits are assigned by Seller to Purchaser at Closing.
(h) Amounts prepaid or payable under any Operating Agreements.
(i) Such other items as are customarily provided and adjusted in the sale of a hotel (including, without limitation, promotional items and trade advertising due bills to the extent such expenses relate to advertising reasonably useable by Purchaser) shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser).
(j) The apportionments as to the Hotel in this Section 4.5 shall be prepared, to the extent applicable, in accordance with the current edition of the Uniform System of Accounts for Hotels of the Hotel Association of New York City, Inc., as adopted by the American Hotel Association of the United States and Canada.
Taxes and Prorations The real estate taxes, personal property taxes on any tangible personal property, bond payments assumed by the Buyer, interest, rents (based on actual collected rents), association dues, insurance premiums acceptable to Buyer, and operating expenses will be prorated through the day before Closing. If the amount of taxes for the current year cannot be ascertained, rates for the previous year will be used with due allowance being made for improvements and exemptions. Any tax proration based on an estimate will, at the request of either party, be readjusted upon receipt of the current year's tax xxxx; this provision will survive the Closing.
Property Taxes Landlord shall pay, prior to delinquency, all general real estate taxes and installments of special assessments coming due during the Lease term on the Leased Premises, and all personal property taxes with respect to Landlord's personal property, if any, on the Leased Premises. Tenant shall be responsible for paying all personal property taxes with respect to Tenant's personal property at the Leased Premises.
REAL ESTATE TAXES, SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS AND PRORATIONS (a) Because the Entire Property (of which the Property is a part) is subject to a triple net lease (as further set forth in paragraph 11(a)(i), the parties acknowledge that there shall be no need for a real estate tax proration. However, Seller represents that to the best of its knowledge, all real estate taxes and installments of special assessments due and payable in all years prior to the year of Closing have been paid in full. Unpaid real estate taxes and unpaid levied and pending special assessments existing on the date of Closing shall be the responsibility of Buyer and Seller in proportion to their respective Tenant in Common interests, pro-rated, however, to the date of closing for the period prior to closing, which shall be the responsibility of Seller if Tenant shall not pay the same. Seller and Buyer shall likewise pay all taxes due and payable in the year after Closing and any unpaid installments of special assessments payable therewith and thereafter, if such unpaid levied and pending special assessments and real estate taxes are not paid by any tenant of the Entire Property.
(b) All income and all operating expenses from the Entire Property shall be prorated between the parties and adjusted by them as of the date of Closing. Seller shall be entitled to all income earned and shall be responsible for all expenses incurred prior to the date of Closing, and Buyer shall be entitled to its proportionate share of all income earned and shall be responsible for its proportionate share of all operating expenses of the Entire Property incurred on and after the date of closing.
Real Property Taxes Taxes, assessments and charges now or hereafter levied or assessed upon, or with respect to, the Project, or any personal property of Landlord used in the operation thereof or located therein, or Landlord's interest in the Project or such personal property, by any federal, state or local entity, including: (i) all real property taxes and general and special assessments; (ii) charges, fees or assessments for transit, housing, day care, open space, art, police, fire or other governmental services or benefits to the Project, including assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges imposed by governmental agencies for such purposes as street, sidewalk, road, utility construction and maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services; (iii) service payments in lieu of taxes; (iv) any tax, fee or excise on the use or occupancy of any part of the Project, or on rent for space in the Project; (v) any other tax, fee or excise, however described, that may be levied or assessed as a substitute for, or as an addition to, in whole or in part, any other Real Property Taxes; and (vi) reasonable consultants' and attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in connection with proceedings to contest, determine or reduce Real Property Taxes. Real Property Taxes do not include: (A) franchise, transfer, inheritance or capital stock taxes, or income taxes measured by the net income of Landlord from all sources, unless any such taxes are levied or assessed against Landlord as a substitute for, in whole or in part, any Real Property Tax; (B) Impositions and all similar amounts payable by tenants of the Project under their leases; and (C) penalties, fines, interest or charges due for late payment of Real Property Taxes by Landlord. If any Real Property Taxes are payable, or may at the option of the taxpayer be paid, in installments, such Real Property Taxes shall, together with any interest that would otherwise be payable with such installment, be deemed to have been paid in installments, amortized over the maximum time period allowed by applicable law. If the tax statement from a taxing authority does not allocate Real Property Taxes to the Building, Landlord shall make the determination of the proper allocation of such Real Property Taxes based, to the extent possible, upon records of the taxing authority and, if not so available, then on an equitable basis. Real Property Taxes also do not include any increases in the taxes, assessments, charges, excises and levies assessed against the Project due solely to the construction or installation of tenant improvements or other alterations by tenants of the Project other than Tenant and any other tenants or occupants of the Building; provided, however, that if any Real Property Taxes are imposed or increased due to the construction or installation of tenant improvements or other alterations in the Building, such Real Property Taxes shall be equitably prorated in Landlord's reasonable judgment between Tenant and any other tenants of the Building.
Personal Property Taxes Lessee shall pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes assessed against and levied upon Lessee Owned Alterations, Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all personal property of Lessee. When possible, Lessee shall cause such property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of Lessor. If any of Lessee's said personal property shall be assessed with Lessor's real property, Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes attributable to Lessee's property within ten (10) days after receipt of a written statement.
Proration (a) The allocation of rights to receive the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration among Holders will be made as set forth in this Section 2.2(a) (with the Exchange Agent to determine, consistent with Section 2.3(c), whether fractions of Cash Election Shares, Stock Election Shares or Non-Election Shares, as applicable, shall be rounded up or down).
(i) If the Stock Election Number exceeds the Stock Conversion Number, then all Cash Election Shares and all Non-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration and, subject to Section 2.5(f) hereof, each holder of Stock Election Shares will be entitled to receive the Stock Consideration in respect of that number of Stock Election Shares held by such holder equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Stock Election Shares held by such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Stock Conversion Number and the denominator of which is the Stock Election Number, with the remaining number of such holder’s Stock Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration; and
(ii) If the Stock Election Number is less than the Stock Conversion Number (the amount by which the Stock Conversion Number exceeds the Stock Election Number being referred to herein as the “Shortfall Number”), then all Stock Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration and the Non-Election Shares and the Cash Election Shares shall be treated in the following manner:
(A) If the Shortfall Number is less than or equal to the number of Non-Election Shares, then all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration and, subject to Section 2.5(f) hereof, each holder of Non-Election Shares shall receive the Stock Consideration in respect of that number of Non-Election Shares held by such holder equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Non-Election Shares held by such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Shortfall Number and the denominator of which is the total number of Non-Election Shares, with the remaining number of such holder’s Non-Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration; or
(B) If the Shortfall Number exceeds the number of Non-Election Shares, then all Non-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration and, subject to Section 2.5(f) hereof, each holder of Cash Election Shares shall receive the Stock Consideration in respect of that number of Cash Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Cash Election Shares held by such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount by which (1) the Shortfall Number exceeds (2) the total number of Non-Election Shares, and the denominator of which is the total number of Cash Election Shares, with the remaining number of such holder’s Cash Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration.
Prorations The following shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller as of 11:59 p.m. local time of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during the month in which the Closing occurs: general and special county and city real property taxes and special assessments (collectively, "Taxes") for the tax period then in effect and insurance premiums (but only if Buyer is assuming Seller's insurance policy or policies). Proration of Taxes shall be based on the most recent official tax bills or notice of valuation available for the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs, with due allowance to be made for the maximum available discount or other exemptions to the extent permissible for said year, and to the extent the tax bills do not accurately reflect the actual Taxes assessed against the Property (or any portion of the Property) and allocable either to the period before the Closing or to the period after the Closing, then Buyer and Seller shall adjust the actual Taxes between Buyer and Seller, outside of Escrow, as soon as reasonably possible following the Closing. In addition to the foregoing apportionments, Seller shall receive all rents and other income accrued, and shall pay all other expenses accrued or incurred, in connection with the ownership or operation of Property before the Closing Date, and Buyer shall receive all rents and other income accruing, and shall pay all other expenses accrued or incurred, in connection with the ownership or operation of Property on or after the Closing Date, all of which rents, other income and expenses shall be prorated as of the Closing. Rents and other income, if any, collected by Buyer after the Closing shall be applied first to any amounts due to Buyer and then, to the extent such rents or other income relate to the period ending on or before the Closing, such rents or other income shall be paid to Seller within ten (10) days after end of the month in which such amounts were collected. Buyer shall incur no obligation to Seller for Buyer's failure to collect such rentals or other income. All security and any other refundable deposits paid by tenants to Seller pursuant to tenant leases shall be delivered by certified funds to Buyer at the Closing or, at Seller's option, credited to Buyer against the cash portion of the Purchase Price at the Closing. Escrow Holder shall not be concerned with any prorations that are to be made after the Closing pursuant to this Agreement.
