The Practice agrees to have applicable state sales and use taxes attributable to the services to be provided by Professional Business Manager hereunder treated as an Office Expense.

• Ad Valorem Taxes Prior to delinquency, Tenant shall pay all taxes and assessments levied upon trade fixtures, alterations, additions, improvements, inventories and personal property located and/or installed on or in the Premises by, or on behalf of, Tenant; and if requested by Landlord, Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord copies of receipts for payment of all such taxes and assessments. To the extent any such taxes are not separately assessed or billed to Tenant, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof as invoiced by Landlord.

• 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.

• Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items (a) To the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer to establish and maintain one or more custodial accounts at a depository institution (which may be a depository institution with which the Master Servicer or any Servicer establishes accounts in the ordinary course of its servicing activities), the accounts of which are insured to the maximum extent permitted by the FDIC (each, an “Escrow Account”) and to deposit therein any collections of amounts received with respect to amounts due for taxes, assessments, water rates, standard hazard insurance policy premiums, Payaheads, if applicable, or any comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. Withdrawals from any Escrow Account may be made (to the extent amounts have been escrowed for such purpose) only in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement. Each Servicer shall be entitled to all investment income not required to be paid to Mortgagors on any Escrow Account maintained by such Servicer. The Master Servicer shall make (or cause to be made) to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement advances to the extent necessary in order to effect timely payment of taxes, water rates, assessments, Standard Hazard Insurance Policy premiums or comparable items in connection with the related Mortgage Loan (to the extent that the Mortgagor is required, but fails, to pay such items), provided that it or the applicable Servicer has determined that the funds so advanced are recoverable from escrow payments, reimbursement pursuant to Section 4.02 or otherwise. (b) Costs incurred by the Master Servicer or by any Servicer in effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the properties subject to the Mortgage Loans may be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage Note where the terms of the Mortgage Note so permit; provided, however, that the addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the distributions to be made to Certificateholders. Such costs, to the extent that they are unanticipated, extraordinary costs, and not ordinary or routine costs shall be recoverable as a Servicing Advance by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02.

• Conveyance Taxes The Company and Parent shall cooperate in the preparation, execution and filing of all returns, questionnaires, applications or other documents regarding any real property transfer or gains, sales, use, transfer, value added, stock transfer and stamp taxes, any transfer, recording, registration and other fees, and any similar taxes which become payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that are required or permitted to be filed on or before the Effective Time.

• Operating Expense Payments Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written estimate of Operating Expenses for each calendar year during the Term (the “Annual Estimate”), which may be revised by Landlord from time to time during such calendar year. During each month of the Term, on the same date that Base Rent is due, Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to 1/12th of Tenant’s Share of the Annual Estimate. Payments for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated.

• Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts (a) To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note and not violative of current law, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (each, an "Escrow Account") and deposit and retain therein all collections from the Mortgagors (or advances by the Master Servicer) for the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums or comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. Nothing herein shall require the Master Servicer to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in violation of applicable law. (b) Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be made only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, condominium or PUD association dues, or comparable items, to reimburse the Master Servicer out of related collections for any payments made pursuant to Sections 3.01 hereof (with respect to taxes and assessments and insurance premiums) and 3.09 hereof (with respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any Mortgagors any sums determined to be overages, to pay interest, if required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account or to clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01 hereof. The Escrow Accounts shall not be a part of the Trust Fund. (c) The Master Servicer shall advance any payments referred to in Section 3.06(a) that are not timely paid by the Mortgagors on the date when the tax, premium or other cost for which such payment is intended is due, but the Master Servicer shall be required so to advance only to the extent that such advances, in the good faith judgment of the Master Servicer, will be recoverable by the Master Servicer out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise.

• Sales Taxes Contractor shall be responsible for the administration and timely payment, with reimbursement therefor as provided in this Agreement, of all (a) sales and use taxes imposed by Applicable Legal Requirements upon Contractor that are properly payable (“Sales Taxes”) in connection with or arising from the Work, (b) Sales Taxes on items incorporated into the Work or imposed by Applicable Legal Requirements upon Owner and for which Contractor has the responsibility to collect such Tax from Owner and (c) value added, excise taxes and import duties that are properly payable by Contractor or any Subcontractor in performance of the Work. All other Taxes (except to the extent similar to those set forth in Section 2.2.9.2) imposed by non-U.S. Governmental Authorities, duties and fees of any kind, in each case that are properly payable in connection with or arising from the performance of the Work will be reimbursed by Owner to Contractor. Owner shall reimburse Contractor for Sales Taxes in connection with or related to the Work that are incorporated into the Work or that are imposed by Applicable Legal Requirements upon Owner and are paid by Contractor. Such reimbursement shall be made only upon the furnishing of reasonable documentation establishing that such Taxes have in fact been paid to the appropriate taxing jurisdiction. Reimbursement for the Sales Taxes as provided in Section 3.4.2 shall be part of the Reimbursable Component, and Owner does not assume any further liability in connection with such Taxes. Reimbursement for Sales Taxes on items incorporated into the Work shall be a contractual commitment to Contractor and Owner shall not have any direct liability to any taxing jurisdiction for Contractor’s failure to properly pay such Taxes. Contractor agrees to indemnify and hold Owner harmless for any Taxes, interest, penalties or other costs that arise from the failure of Contractor to remit or timely remit Sales Taxes as required by Applicable Legal Requirements and this Agreement or arising from the failure of Contractor to allow Sales Tax audits or to comply with any other requirements of the state and local taxing authorities in connection with the Work. In circumstances where a Sales Tax is imposed for purchases that are not exempt from Sales Tax pursuant to exemption programs identified by Owner to Contractor or for which an exemption is not applicable, Contractor shall be reimbursed in accordance with Section 3.4 for its payment of all such Sales Taxes; provided, however, that if Sales Taxes (for which an exemption would have otherwise applied) are paid on a purchase identified by Owner as tax benefit-qualified because of Contractor’s failure to furnish or cause to be furnished properly completed Sales Tax certificates as provided in Appendix L or any other failure by Contractor to perform its obligations hereunder, then Contractor shall reimburse Owner, at Contractor’s expense, for the reasonable costs incurred by Owner in seeking a refund of such Sales Taxes from appropriate authorities. With respect to all purchases identified by Owner as tax benefit-qualified, Contractor shall furnish to the appropriate taxing authorities all required information and reports in connection with all Contractor Taxes and Sales Taxes. Contractor shall furnish to Owner all required information and reports in connection with all Sales Taxes as are as described in Appendix L or otherwise reasonably requested in a Notice from Owner to Contractor. Contractor shall provide assistance as reasonably requested by Owner or its tax consultant(s), in confirming eligibility and qualification for exemptions from Sales Taxes (and any other tax exemptions) to the relevant Governmental Authorities. From time to time and within 30 days of a request therefor, Contractor shall provide Owner with information regarding quantities, descriptions, and costs of property installed at the Project reasonably requested by Owner in connection with the preparation of Owner’s tax returns, satisfying regulatory requirements or as otherwise required in connection with Financing or with obtaining exemption from, or rebate of, Sales Tax. Contractor agrees to participate in any Sales Tax exemptions or rebate programs identified by Owner, to complete and deliver the applicable documentation to obtain tax-exemption for purchases of Equipment and Materials, and to pass any Sales Tax savings or rebates through to Owner. Owner hereby notifies Contractor that all Equipment and certain Materials and Consumables will be installed or used within an “enterprise zone” and therefore may be subject to Sales Tax rebates under the Louisiana Quality Jobs Act Program or the Louisiana Enterprise Zone Program upon Contractor’s proper completion and presentation of the Sales Tax certificates set forth in Appendix L for purchases identified by Owner, subject to certain other terms and conditions of Sales Tax exemption and rebate programs.

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.
