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.
TAXES, ASSESSMENTS AND UTILITIES (A) Lessee shall be liable, and agrees to pay the charges for, all public utility services rendered or furnished to the Leased Premises, including heat, water, gas, electricity, sewer, sewage treatment facilities and the like, all personal property taxes, real estate taxes, special assessments, and municipal or government charges, general, ordinary and extraordinary, of every kind and nature whatsoever, which may be levied, imposed, or assessed against the Leased Premises, or upon any improvements thereon, at any time after the Occupancy Date of this Lease and prior to the expiration of the term hereof, or any Renewal Term.
(B) Lessee shall pay all real estate taxes, assessments for public improvements or benefits, and other governmental impositions, duties, and charges of every kind and nature whatsoever which shall or may, during the term of this Lease, be charged, laid, levied, assessed, or imposed upon, or become a lien or liens upon the Leased Premises or any part thereof or upon the rents payable hereunder, except for taxes based solely upon the income of Lessor. Such payments shall be considered as rent paid by Lessee in addition to the Rent defined at Article 4 hereof. Lessee shall be deemed to have complied with the foregoing covenant if payment is permitted without penalty or interest, or before the same shall become a lien upon the Leased Premises. If by law any real estate taxes, assessments for public improvements or benefits, or other governmental impositions, duties, and charges of every kind and nature whatsoever may at the option of the taxpayer be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance), Lessee may exercise the option to pay the same in installments and shall pay such installments as they become due during the term of this Lease. Lessee shall not be liable for installments which come due after the termination date of the Lease. If due to a change in the method of taxation, a franchise tax, rental tax, or income or profit tax shall be levied against Lessor in substitution for or in lieu of any tax which would otherwise constitute a real estate tax, such tax shall be deemed a real estate tax for the purposes herein and shall be paid by Lessee.
(C) All real estate taxes, assessments for public improvements or benefits, water rates and charges, sewer rents, and other governmental impositions, duties, and charges which shall become payable for the first and last tax years of the term hereof shall be apportioned pro rata between Lessor and Lessee in accordance with the respective number of months during which each party shall be in possession of the Leased Premises in said respective tax years. For the purposes of this provision, all personal property taxes, real estate taxes and special assessments shall be deemed to have been assessed in the year that the first payment or any installment thereof is due.
(D) Lessee shall have the right to contest or review by legal proceedings or in such other manner as may be legal (which, if instituted, shall be conducted solely at Lessee's own expense) any tax, assessment for public improvements or benefits, or other governmental imposition aforementioned, at any time until the property is subject to levy or execution. All such proceedings shall be begun as soon as reasonably possible after the imposition or assessment of any contested items and shall be prosecuted to final adjudication with reasonable dispatch. In the event of any reduction, cancellation, or discharge, Lessee shall pay the amount that shall be finally levied or assessed against the Leased Premises or adjudicated to be due and payable, and, if there shall be any refund payable by the governmental authority with respect thereto, Lessee shall be entitled to receive and retain the same, subject, however, to apportionment as provided during the first and last years of the term of this Lease.
(E) Lessor, within sixty (60) days after notice to Lessee if Lessee fails to commence such proceedings, may, but shall not be obligated to, contest or review by legal proceedings, or in such other manner as may be legal, and at Lessor's own expense, any tax, assessments for public improvements and benefits, or other governmental imposition aforementioned, which shall not be contested or reviewed, as aforesaid, by Lessee, and unless Lessee shall promptly join with Lessor in such contest or review, Lessor shall be entitled to receive and retain any refund payable by the governmental authority with respect thereto.
(F) Lessor shall not be required to join in any proceeding referred to in this Article, unless in Lessee's reasonable opinion, the provisions of any law, rule, or regulation at the time in effect shall require that such a proceeding be brought by and/or in the name of Lessor, in which event Lessor shall upon written request, join in such proceedings or permit the same to be brought in its name.
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.
Compliance with Laws; Payment of Taxes and Liabilities (a) Comply, and cause each other Loan Party to comply, in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, decrees, orders, judgments, licenses and permits, except where failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (b) without limiting clause (a) above, ensure, and cause each other Loan Party to ensure, that no person who owns a controlling interest in or otherwise controls a Loan Party is or shall be (i) listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Person List maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), Department of the Treasury, and/or any other similar lists maintained by OFAC pursuant to any authorizing statute, Executive Order or regulation or (ii) a person designated under Section 1(b), (c) or (d) of Executive Order No. 13224 (September 23, 2001), any related enabling legislation or any other similar Executive Orders, (c) without limiting clause (a) above, comply, and cause each other Loan Party to comply, with all applicable Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”) and anti-money laundering laws and regulations and (d) pay, and cause each other Loan Party to pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes and other governmental charges against it or any collateral, as well as claims of any kind which, if unpaid, could become a Lien on any of its property; provided that the foregoing shall not require any Loan Party to pay any such tax or charge so long as it shall contest the validity thereof in good faith by appropriate proceedings and shall set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP and, in the case of a claim which could become a Lien on any collateral, such contest proceedings shall stay the foreclosure of such Lien or the sale of any portion of the collateral to satisfy such claim.

The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, pay promptly when due all taxes, assessments, governmental charges, claims for labor, supplies, rent and other obligations which, if unpaid, might become a lien against the property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, except liabilities being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently pursued and against which, if requested by the Bank, the Borrower shall have set up reserves in accordance with GAAP.
Real Estate Taxes and Assessments Subject to Section 4(c) below, Tenant shall pay all Real Estate Taxes (as hereinafter defined) levied, assessed, accruing, or imposed from and after the Commencement Date, which shall become due and payable during the Term with respect to the Property. If any such Real Estate Taxes may, at the option of the taxpayer, be paid in installments, Tenant may exercise the option to pay the same in installments; provided Tenant pays all costs and charges related to such installment payment method. All Real Estate Taxes that shall be assessed with respect to a taxable year or period beginning on or before and ending after the Commencement Date or beginning on or before and ending after the Termination Date shall be apportioned pro rata between Landlord and Tenant on a per diem basis in accordance with the respective number of days in such taxable year or period during which this Lease is in effect. “Real Estate Taxes” shall mean the ad valorem real estate taxes levied against the Property (and the improvements and fixtures located thereon), betterment assessments, special benefit taxes and special assessments levied or imposed against the Property, taxes levied or assessed on gross rentals payable by Tenant to the extent charged, assessed or imposed upon tenants in general which are based upon the rents payable under this Lease, any impact fees levied or assessed, whether or not billed by the taxing authority as a special benefit tax or a special assessment, all taxes levied or assessed on the Property that are in addition to or in lieu of taxes that are currently so assessed, and penalties and interest related to Real Estate Taxes if the applicable Real Estate Tax bills have been forwarded to Tenant in a timely manner; provided, however, that Real Estate Taxes shall not include any Excluded Taxes. “Excluded Taxes” shall mean, without limitation, Landlord’s income taxes, gift taxes, excess profit taxes, excise taxes, franchise taxes, estate, succession, inheritance and realty transfer taxes resulting from the transfer of any direct or indirect interest in the Property by Landlord unless such taxes replace Real Estate Taxes in the future (except as expressly set forth in the last sentence of this Section 4(a)), and any interest or penalty charges resulting solely from Landlord’s failure to promptly deliver the Real Estate Tax bills to Tenant if the applicable taxing authority has forwarded the tax xxxx to Landlord rather than Tenant.
