Taxes and Operating Expenses All real estate taxes, charges and assessments affecting the Property (“Taxes”), all charges for water, electricity, sewer rental, gas, telephone, fuel oil and all other utilities (“Operating Expenses”), to the extent not paid directly by tenants, and all common area maintenance charges billed to tenants on an estimated basis (“CAM Charges”) shall be prorated on a per diem basis as of the date of Closing. Buyer shall be entitled to all income and responsible for all expenses for the period beginning at 12:01 a.m. (Central Time Zone (U.S.A.)) on the date of Closing, except as set forth herein. If any Taxes have not been finally assessed as of the date of Closing for the current fiscal year of the taxing authority, then the same shall be adjusted at Closing based upon the most recently issued bills therefor, and shall be re-adjusted when and if final bills are issued. If any Operating Expenses or CAM Charges cannot conclusively be determined as of the date of Closing, then the same shall be adjusted at Closing based upon the most recently issued bills thus far, and readjusted within 120 days after the end of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs or as soon thereafter as final adjustment figures are available. Buyer hereby agrees to assume all non-delinquent assessments affecting the Property, whether special or general, subject to proration on a per diem basis as of the Closing Date. If Seller is presently prosecuting tax abatement proceedings, after the Closing, Seller shall continue to be authorized to prosecute such proceedings, and shall be entitled to its pro rata share of any such abatement proceeds. Buyer agrees after the Closing, to the extent reasonably necessary for Seller to continue to prosecute such proceedings, to reasonably cooperate with Seller, to pay its pro rata share of any costs attributable to such proceedings and also agrees to promptly endorse or pay over to Seller any abatement amounts for such years received by Buyer, less applicable costs incurred by Buyer. To the extent that such refunds are paid to Seller and are due to tenants, Seller does hereby covenant and agree that it shall, upon receipt thereof, reimburse tenants for their applicable share of such refunds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all reimbursable expenses shall be reconciled at Closing, such that if Seller has collected sums in excess of its reimbursable expenses under the Leases, Seller shall pay such excess to Buyer. In the event that such reconciliation shows that Seller has collected less than its incurred reimbursable expenses under the Leases, Buyer shall remit the shortfall to Seller, when and to the extent actually collected from tenants (with such collections applied first to amounts due with respect to the month in which Closing occurs, and then to any amounts due Buyer with respect to the period of time following the Closing, and then to Seller with respect to any amounts due to Seller with respect to the period of time prior to the Closing) not later than the expiration of one hundred twenty (120) days after the calendar year in which the Closing occurs with respect to the budgeting of such expenses under the Leases.
