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.
