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.
Apportionment Taxes and all other periodic realty costs, if any, shall be apportioned pro rata as of the Closing Date. All taxes shall be considered to be on a calendar year basis, with the exception of school taxes, which will be pro-rated on a fiscal year basis. Seller will pay for all days up to and including the Closing Date, and Purchaser will pay for all days following the Closing Date.
Allocation of Purchase Price (i) The sum of the Purchase Price and the amount of the Assumed Liabilities (to the extent properly taken into account under the Code) shall be allocated among Sellers and (ii) the amount allocated to the Acquired Assets sold by each such Seller shall be further allocated among such Acquired Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Allocation”). The Allocation shall be delivered by Buyer to Sellers within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Closing. Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of Sellers, will have the right to raise reasonable objections to the Allocation within thirty (30) days after Buyer’s delivery thereof, in which event Buyer and Sellers’ Representative will negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If Buyer and Sellers’ Representative cannot resolve such dispute within fifteen (15) Business Days after Sellers’ Representative notify Buyer of such objections, such dispute with respect to the Allocation shall be resolved promptly by the Neutral Accountant, the costs of which shall be shared in equal amounts by Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand. The decision of the Neutral Accountant in respect of the Allocation shall be final and binding upon Buyer and Sellers. Buyer and Sellers shall file all Tax Returns (including, but not limited to, Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) consistent with the Allocation absent a change in Law; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent Buyer or any Seller from settling any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Tax Authority based upon or arising out of the Allocation, and neither Buyer nor any Seller shall be required to litigate before any court any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Tax Authority challenging such Allocation. Buyer and any applicable Seller shall promptly notify and provide the other with reasonable assistance in the event of an examination, audit, or other proceeding relating to Taxes regarding the Allocation of the Purchase Price and the amount of the Assumed Liabilities pursuant to this Section 3.4. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the foregoing agreement shall survive the Closing Date without limitation.

Seller shall be treated as receiving a portion of the Purchase Price as agent for any of its Affiliates actually selling, transferring or conveying the Purchased Assets, consistent with the allocation of the Purchase Price pursuant to the Allocation Statement, and Buyer’s payment of the Purchase Price to Seller shall constitute payment by Buyer to any of Seller’s Affiliates actually selling, transferring or conveying the Purchased Assets hereunder.

Taxes and Fees Imposed on Purchasing Party But Collected And Remitted By Providing Party 11.3.1 Taxes and fees imposed on the purchasing Party shall be borne by the purchasing Party, even if the obligation to collect and/or remit such taxes or fees is placed on the providing Party.
11.3.2 To the extent permitted by applicable law, any such taxes and/or fees shall be shown as separate items on applicable billing documents between the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the purchasing Party shall remain liable for any such taxes and fees regardless of whether they are actually billed by the providing Party at the time that the respective service is billed.
11.3.3 If the purchasing Party determines that in its opinion any such taxes or fees are not payable, the providing Party shall not xxxx such taxes or fees to the purchasing Party if the purchasing Party provides written certification, reasonably satisfactory to the providing Party, stating that it is exempt or otherwise not subject to the tax or fee, setting forth the basis therefor, and satisfying any other requirements under applicable law. If any authority seeks to collect any such tax or fee that the purchasing Party has determined and certified not to be payable, or any such tax or fee that was not billed by the providing Party, the purchasing Party may contest the same in good faith, at its own expense. In any such contest, the purchasing Party shall promptly furnish the providing Party with copies of all filings in any proceeding, protest, or legal challenge, all rulings issued in connection therewith, and all correspondence between the purchasing Party and the taxing authority.
11.3.4 In the event that all or any portion of an amount sought to be collected must be paid in order to contest the imposition of any such tax or fee, or to avoid the existence of a lien on the assets of the providing Party during the pendency of such contest, the purchasing Party shall be responsible for such payment and shall be entitled to the benefit of any refund or recovery.
11.3.5 If it is ultimately determined that any additional amount of such a tax or fee is due to the imposing authority, the purchasing Party shall pay such additional amount, including any interest and penalties thereon.
11.3.6 Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the purchasing Party shall protect, indemnify and hold harmless (and defend at the purchasing Party’s expense) the providing Party from and against any such tax or fee, interest or penalties thereon, or other charges or payable expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) with respect thereto, which are incurred by the providing Party in connection with any claim for or contest of any such tax or fee.
11.3.7 Each Party shall notify the other Party in writing of any assessment, proposed assessment or other claim for any additional amount of such a tax or fee by a taxing authority; such notice to be provided, if possible, at least ten (10) days prior to the date by which a response, protest or other appeal must be filed, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after receipt of such assessment, proposed assessment or claim.
Distribution Assistance Fees (Asset-Based Sales Charge) Within ten (10) days of the end of each month or at such other period as deemed appropriate by the Distributor, the Fund will make payments in the aggregate amount of up to 0.75% on an annual basis of the average during the month of the aggregate net asset value of Shares computed as of the close of each business day (the “Asset-Based Sales Charge”) outstanding until such Shares are redeemed or converted to another class of shares of the Fund, provided, however, that a majority of the Independent Trustees may, but are not obligated to, set a time period (the “Fund Maximum Holding Period”) from time to time for such payments. Such Asset-Based Sales Charge payments received from the Fund will compensate the Distributor for providing distribution assistance in connection with the sale of Shares. The distribution assistance to be rendered by the Distributor in connection with the Shares may include, but shall not be limited to, the following: (i) paying sales commissions to any broker, dealer, bank or other person or entity that sells Shares, and/or paying such persons “Advance Service Fee Payments” (as defined below) in advance of, and/or in amounts greater than, the amount provided for in Section 3(b) of this Agreement; (ii) paying compensation to and expenses of personnel of the Distributor who support distribution of Shares by Recipients; (iii) obtaining financing or providing such financing from its own resources, or from an affiliate, for the interest and other borrowing costs of the Distributor's unreimbursed expenses incurred in rendering distribution assistance and administrative support services to the Fund; and (iv) paying other direct distribution costs, including without limitation the costs of sales literature, advertising and prospectuses (other than those prospectuses furnished to current holders of the Fund's shares ("Shareholders")) and state "blue sky" registration expenses.
Allocation of the Purchase Price (a) Within ninety (90) days after the final determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.5, the Sellers will provide the Buyer with a statement (or statements) (the “Asset Acquisition Statement”) with the Sellers’ proposed allocation of the Final Purchase Price (plus any other amounts, including Assumed Liabilities, to the extent properly taken into account as consideration for applicable Tax purposes) among the Transferred Assets and, if applicable, the Ancillary Agreements and any other rights transferred hereunder or thereunder in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code (and any other applicable state, local or non-U.S. Law). The Buyer may, within thirty (30) days after receiving such Asset Acquisition Statement, propose to the Sellers in writing any changes to such Asset Acquisition Statement that are consistent with applicable Law (the “Allocation Notice of Objection”), and if the Buyer does not deliver such a Notice of Objection within such period, the Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted such proposed Asset Acquisition Statement and it shall become final and binding on the Parties. If the Buyer delivers a Notice of Objection, then the Buyer and the Sellers will endeavor in good faith to resolve any differences with respect to the Asset Acquisition Statement within thirty (30) days after the Sellers’ receipt of the Notice of Objection. If the Buyer and the Sellers are unable to resolve such differences, the matters in dispute shall be resolved by the Accounting Firm, which determination by such Accounting Firm shall be consistent with this Agreement. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Buyer and the Sellers in inverse proportion as they may prevail on matters resolved by the Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocations also shall be determined by the Accounting Firm at the time the determination of the Accounting Firm is rendered.
(b) The Buyer and the Sellers agree that they shall each (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refunds) and information reports in a manner consistent with the Asset Acquisition Statement (as finalized pursuant to Section 2.6(a))); provided that nothing contained in this Section 2.6(b) shall prevent any Party (or their Affiliates) from settling, or require any of them to litigate any challenge, proposed deficiency, adjustment or other similar proceeding by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Asset Acquisition Statement. Upon any adjustment to the Purchase Price in connection with an indemnification claim made pursuant to Article 13, the allocation described in the Asset Acquisition Statement (as finalized pursuant to Section 2.6(a)) shall be subject to adjustment in a manner consistent with Section 2.6(a).
Distribution Assistance Fees (Asset-Based Sales Charge) Payments In its sole discretion and irrespective of whichever alternative method of making service fee payments to Recipients is selected by the Distributor, in addition the Distributor may make distribution assistance fee payments to a Recipient quarterly, or at such other interval as deemed appropriate by the Distributor, within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter or other period, at a rate not to exceed 0.1875% (0.75% on an annual basis) of the average during the period of the aggregate net asset value of Shares computed as of the close of each business day constituting Qualified Holdings owned beneficially or of record by the Recipient or its Customers until such Shares are redeemed or converted to another class of shares of the Fund, provided, however, that a majority of the Independent Trustees may, but are not obligated to, set a time period (the "Recipient Maximum Holding Period") for making such payments. Distribution assistance fee payments shall be made only to Recipients that are registered with the SEC as a broker-dealer or are exempt from registration. The distribution assistance to be rendered by the Recipients in connection with the sale of Shares may include, but shall not be limited to, the following: distributing sales literature and prospectuses other than those furnished to current Shareholders, providing compensation to and paying expenses of personnel of the Recipient who support the distribution of Shares by the Recipient, and providing such other information and services in connection with the distribution of Shares as the Distributor or the Fund may reasonably request.
