• CLOSING COSTS AND ADJUSTMENTS All adjustments are made as of settlement date.

• Prorations The following shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller as of 11:59 p.m. local time of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during the month in which the Closing occurs: general and special county and city real property taxes and special assessments (collectively, "Taxes") for the tax period then in effect and insurance premiums (but only if Buyer is assuming Seller's insurance policy or policies). Proration of Taxes shall be based on the most recent official tax bills or notice of valuation available for the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs, with due allowance to be made for the maximum available discount or other exemptions to the extent permissible for said year, and to the extent the tax bills do not accurately reflect the actual Taxes assessed against the Property (or any portion of the Property) and allocable either to the period before the Closing or to the period after the Closing, then Buyer and Seller shall adjust the actual Taxes between Buyer and Seller, outside of Escrow, as soon as reasonably possible following the Closing. In addition to the foregoing apportionments, Seller shall receive all rents and other income accrued, and shall pay all other expenses accrued or incurred, in connection with the ownership or operation of Property before the Closing Date, and Buyer shall receive all rents and other income accruing, and shall pay all other expenses accrued or incurred, in connection with the ownership or operation of Property on or after the Closing Date, all of which rents, other income and expenses shall be prorated as of the Closing. Rents and other income, if any, collected by Buyer after the Closing shall be applied first to any amounts due to Buyer and then, to the extent such rents or other income relate to the period ending on or before the Closing, such rents or other income shall be paid to Seller within ten (10) days after end of the month in which such amounts were collected. Buyer shall incur no obligation to Seller for Buyer's failure to collect such rentals or other income. All security and any other refundable deposits paid by tenants to Seller pursuant to tenant leases shall be delivered by certified funds to Buyer at the Closing or, at Seller's option, credited to Buyer against the cash portion of the Purchase Price at the Closing. Escrow Holder shall not be concerned with any prorations that are to be made after the Closing pursuant to this Agreement.

• Prorations and Adjustments (a) Seller and Purchaser agree to prorate and/or adjust, as of 11:59 p.m. on the day preceding the Closing Date (the “Proration Time”), the following (collectively, the “Proration Items”): (i) Rents, in accordance with Section 10.4(c) below. (ii) Cash Security Deposits and any prepaid rents, together with any interest required to be paid thereon. (iii) Utility charges payable by Seller, including, without limitation, electricity, water charges and sewer charges. If there are meters on the Real Property, final readings and final xxxxxxxx for utilities will be made if possible on the day before the Closing Date, in which event no proration will be made at the Closing with respect to utility bills. If meter readings on the day before the Closing Date are not possible, then Seller will cause readings of all said meters to be performed not more than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, and a per diem adjustment shall be made for the days between the meter reading date and the Closing Date based on the most recent meter reading. Seller will be entitled to all deposits presently in effect with the utility providers, and Purchaser will be obligated to make its own arrangements for any deposits with the utility providers. (iv) Amounts payable under the Service Contracts other than those Service Contracts which Purchaser has elected not to assume by written notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Evaluation Period. (v) Real estate taxes due and payable for the calendar year. If the Closing Date shall occur before the tax rate is fixed, the apportionment of real estate taxes shall be upon the basis of the tax rate for the preceding year applied to the latest assessed valuation. If, subsequent to the Closing Date, real estate taxes (by reason of change in either assessment or rate or for any other reason other than as a result of the final determination or settlement of any tax appeal) for the Real Property should be determined to be higher or lower than those that are apportioned, a new computation shall be made, and Seller agrees to pay Purchaser any increase shown by such recomputation and vice versa; provided, however, that if any increase in the assessed value of the Property results from improvements made to the Property by Purchaser, then Purchaser shall be solely responsible for any increase in taxes attributable thereto. With respect to tax appeals, any tax refunds or credits attributable to tax years prior to the tax year in which the Closing occurs shall belong solely to Seller, regardless of whether such refunds are paid or credits are given before or after Closing. Any tax refunds or credits attributable to the tax year in which the Closing occurs shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser based on their respective periods of ownership in such tax year. The expenses of any tax appeals shall be apportioned between the parties in the same manner as the refunds and/or credits. The provisions of this Section 10.4(a)(v) shall survive the Closing. (vi) The value of fuel stored at the Real Property, at Seller’s most recent cost, including taxes, on the basis of a reading made within ten (10) days prior to the Closing by Seller’s supplier. (b) Seller will be charged and credited for the amounts of all of the Proration Items relating to the period up to and including the Proration Time, and Purchaser will be charged and credited for all of the Proration Items relating to the period after the Proration Time. The estimated Closing prorations shall be set forth on a preliminary closing statement to be prepared by Seller and submitted to Purchaser prior to the Closing Date (the “Closing Statement”). The Closing Statement, once agreed upon, shall be signed by Purchaser and Seller. The proration shall be paid at Closing by Purchaser to Seller (if the prorations result in a net credit to Seller) or by Seller to Purchaser (if the prorations result in a net credit to Purchaser) by increasing or reducing the cash to be delivered by Purchaser in payment of the Purchase Price at the Closing. If the actual amounts of the Proration Items are not known as of the Closing Date, the prorations will be made at Closing on the basis of the best evidence then available; thereafter, when actual figures are received, re-prorations will be made on the basis of the actual figures, and a final cash settlement will be made between Seller and Purchaser. No prorations will be made in relation to insurance premiums, and Seller’s insurance policies will not be assigned to Purchaser. The provisions of this Section 10.4(b) will survive the Closing for twelve (12) months. (c) Purchaser will receive a credit on the Closing Statement for the prorated amount (as of the Proration Time) of all Rental previously paid to or collected by Seller and attributable to any period following the Proration Time. After the Closing, Seller will cause to be paid or turned over to Purchaser all Rental, if any, received by Seller after Closing and attributable to any period following the Proration Time. “Rental” as used herein includes fixed monthly rentals, additional rentals, percentage rentals, escalation rentals (which include each Tenant’s proration share of building operation and maintenance costs and expenses as provided for under the Lease, to the extent the same exceeds any expense stop specified in such Lease), retroactive rentals, all administrative charges, utility charges, tenant or real property association dues, storage rentals, special event proceeds, temporary rents, telephone receipts, locker rentals, vending machine receipts and other sums and charges payable by Tenants under the Leases or from other occupants or users of the Property. Rental is “Delinquent” when it was due prior to the Closing Date, and payment thereof has not been made on or before the Proration Time. Delinquent Rental will not be prorated. Purchaser agrees to use good faith collection procedures with respect to the collection of any Delinquent Rental. All sums collected by Purchaser in the month of Closing shall be applied to the month of Closing. All sums collected by Purchaser thereafter from each Tenant (excluding tenant specific xxxxxxxx for tenant work orders and other specific services as described in and governed by Section 10.4(e) below) will be applied first to current amounts owed by such Tenant to Purchaser, and then delinquencies owed by such Tenant to Seller. Any sums due Seller will be promptly remitted to Seller. Purchaser shall not modify, amend or terminate any existing agreements with Tenants relating to past rent due.

• PAYMENT OF CLOSING COSTS In addition to the costs set forth in Paragraphs 3.1 and 3.2, Purchaser and Seller shall each pay for one-half of the costs of the documentary or transfer stamps to be paid with reference to the "Deed" (hereinafter defined) and all other stamps, intangible, transfer, documentary, recording, sales tax and surtax imposed by law with reference to any other sale documents delivered in connection with the sale of the Property to Purchaser and all other charges of the Title Insurer in connection with this transaction.

• Payments of Post-Closing Adjustment Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment, together with interest calculated as set forth below, shall (A) be due (x) within five (5) Business Days of acceptance of the applicable Closing Working Capital Statement or (y) if there are Disputed Amounts, then within five (5) Business Days of the resolution described in clause (v) above; and (B) be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account(s) as is directed by Buyer or Sellers, as the case may be.

• Post-Closing Adjustments As soon as practicable after the Closing, but in no event later than one hundred eighty (180) days thereafter, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a final settlement statement (the “Final Settlement Statement”) setting forth each adjustment or payment that was not finally determined as of the Closing and showing the calculation of such adjustments and the resulting Final Purchase Price. Seller shall make its workpapers and other information available to Purchaser to review in order to confirm the adjustments shown on Seller’s draft. As soon as practicable after receipt of the Final Settlement Statement, but in no event later than sixty (60) days thereafter, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a written report containing any changes that Purchaser proposes to make to the Final Settlement Statement. Any failure by Purchaser to deliver to Seller the written report detailing Purchaser’s proposed changes to the Final Settlement Statement within sixty (60) days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Final Settlement Statement shall be deemed an acceptance by Purchaser of the Final Settlement Statement as submitted by Seller. The parties shall agree with respect to the changes proposed by Purchaser, if any, no later than sixty (60) days after Seller receives from Purchaser the written report described above containing Purchaser’s proposed changes. If the Purchaser and the Seller cannot then agree upon the Final Settlement Statement, the determination of the amount of the Final Settlement Statement shall be submitted to a mutually agreed firm of independent public accountants (the “Accounting Firm”). The determination by the Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto and shall be enforceable against any party hereto in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any costs and expenses incurred by the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall be borne by the Seller and the Purchaser equally. The date upon which such agreement is reached or upon which the Final Purchase Price is established, shall be herein called the “Final Settlement Date.” In the event (a) the Final Purchase Price is more than the Estimated Final Purchase Price, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the amount of such difference, or (b) the Final Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Final Purchase Price, Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount of such difference, in either event by wire transfer in immediately available funds. Payment by Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, shall be within five (5) days of the Final Settlement Date.

• Credits and Prorations (a) The following shall be apportioned with respect to the Property as of 12:01 a.m., on the day of Closing, as if Purchaser were vested with title to the Property during the entire day upon which Closing occurs: (i) rents, if any, as and when collected (the term “rents” as used in this Agreement includes all payments due and payable by tenants under the Leases); (ii) taxes (including personal property taxes on the Personal Property) and assessments levied against the Property; (iii) payments under the Operating Agreements; (iv) gas, electricity and other utility charges for which Seller is liable, if any, such charges to be apportioned at Closing on the basis of the most recent meter reading occurring prior to Closing; and (v) any other operating expenses or other items pertaining to the Property which are customarily prorated between a purchaser and a seller in the area in which the Property is located. (b) Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing provisions: (i) At Closing, (A) Seller shall, at Seller’s option, 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 rents or otherwise as provided in the Leases), and (B) Purchaser shall credit to the account of Seller all refundable cash or other deposits posted with utility companies serving the Property, or, at Seller’s option, Seller shall be entitled to receive and retain such refundable cash and deposits. In the event any security deposits shall have been deposited with Seller in a form other than cash (e.g. letter of credit), Seller shall satisfy its obligations hereunder with respect to such security deposit by delivering to Purchaser an assignment of such security deposit to Purchaser with written instructions to the issuer of such deposits to transfer the same to Purchaser, and appropriate instruments of transfer or assignment. (ii) Any taxes paid at or prior to Closing shall be prorated based upon the amounts actually paid. If taxes and assessments for the current year have not been paid before Closing, Seller shall be charged at Closing an amount equal to that portion of such taxes and assessments which relates to the period before Closing and Purchaser shall pay the taxes and assessments prior to their becoming delinquent. Any such apportionment made with respect to a tax year for which the tax rate or assessed valuation, or both, have not yet been fixed shall be based upon the tax rate and/or assessed valuation last fixed. To the extent that the actual taxes and assessments for the current year differ from the amount apportioned at Closing, the parties shall make all necessary adjustments by appropriate payments between themselves following Closing. (iii) Charges referred to in Section 4.5(a) hereof which are payable by any tenant to a third party shall not be apportioned hereunder, and Purchaser shall accept title subject to any of such charges unpaid and Purchaser shall look solely to the tenant responsible therefor for the payment of the same.
