Real Property Taxes Tenant shall pay directly to the applicable tax collector ("Tax Collector") and prior to delinquency all Real Property Taxes (as hereinafter defined) which become due during the Lease Term, as Additional Rent. The term "Real Property Taxes" as used herein shall mean (1) all taxes, assessments, levies, and other charges of any kind or nature whatsoever, general and special, foreseen and unforeseen (including all installments of principal and interest required to pay any general or special assessments for public improvements and any increases resulting from reassessments caused by any change in ownership of the Premises or the Project) now or hereafter imposed by any governmental or quasi- governmental authority or special district having the direct or indirect power to tax or levy assessments, which are levied or assessed against, or with respect to (a) the value, occupancy, or use of, all or any portion of the Premises or the Project (as now constructed or as may at any time hereafter be constructed, altered, or otherwise changed) or Landlord's interest therein, including Landlord's interest in this Lease; or (b) any improvements located on the Premises or the Project (regardless of ownership); and (2) all area wide taxes, charges, levies or fees imposed by reason of environmental regulation or other governmental control of the Project. If at any time during the Lease Term the taxation or assessment of the Project prevailing as of the Commencement Date shall be altered so that in lieu of or in addition to any Real Property Taxes described above there shall be levied, assessed or imposed (whether by reason of a change in the method of taxation or assessment, creation of a new tax or charge, or any other cause) an alternate or additional tax or charge (a) on the value, use or occupancy of the Project or Landlord's interest therein; (b) on or measured by the gross receipts, income or rentals from the Project; (c) on Landlord's business of leasing the Premises; or (d) computed in any manner with respect to the operation of the Premises or the Project, then any such tax or charge, however designated, shall be included within the meaning of the term "Real Property Taxes". Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term "Real Property Taxes" shall not include estate, inheritance, gift or franchise taxes of Landlord or the federal or state net income tax imposed on Landlord's income from all sources. Notwithstanding anything within this Paragraph 10.1, it is agreed that if any special assessments for capital improvements are assessed, and if Landlord has the option to either pay the entire assessment in cash or go to bond, Landlord shall elect to go to bond so that Tenant will pay such special assessment in installments rather than in a lump sum. It is additionally agreed that Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, to contest with any taxing authority or appellate body the imposition or amount of any Real Property Tax, but any such contest shall not excuse Tenant from any of its obligations hereunder as to paying any such Real Property Tax when payable hereunder. In addition, Landlord agrees to consult with Tenant in advance of any contemplated change in ownership of the Project so as to have the benefit of Tenant's recommendations, if any, as to any possible way to avoid any reassessment of the Project, but regardless of any such consultation, Landlord shall have no obligation to Tenant to follow, or any liability to Tenant for failing to follow, any recommendations of Tenant.
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 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.
