• Estimated Closing Statement Not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”), certified in writing by an executive officer of the Seller, setting forth, in reasonable detail, (i) the Seller’s good faith calculation, together with reasonably detailed supporting documentation, of the estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital”) and the components thereof; (ii) the Estimated Working Capital Increase or Estimated Working Capital Decrease, as the case may be; and (iii) the resulting calculation of the Purchase Price (the resulting amount, the “Estimated Purchase Price”), in each case calculated pursuant to the Accounting Principles. The Seller and the Owner, during the period from the delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement through the Closing Date, shall, and shall cause their respective managers, officers, employees, accountants, and other relevant advisors to, provide the Buyer (and its auditors, advisors, counsel, and other representatives) reasonable access to the books and records, outside accounting firm, working papers (subject to the execution of customary access letters), personnel, and facilities of the Seller in order to complete their review of the Estimated Closing Statement and the calculations set forth therein, and the Seller shall consider in good faith any comments made by the Buyer to the Estimated Closing Statement. The Buyer’s failure to make any comment regarding, or to dispute any amount included in, the Estimated Closing Statement shall not limit, or have any effect on, the Buyer’s rights pursuant to Section 2.05(b) to conduct a review of the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Estimated Working Capital Increase or Estimated Working Capital Decrease, as the case may be, and the resulting calculation of the Purchase Price. The Seller and the Owner shall cooperate with the Buyer’s review of the Estimated Closing Statement and the Buyer and the Seller shall negotiate in good faith prior to the Closing to resolve any reasonable objection the Buyer may have to the estimates or calculations contained therein.

• Closing Statements Buyer’s Closing Statement, and a certificate confirming the truth of Buyer’s representations and warranties hereunder as of the Closing Date.

• Closing Prorations and Adjustments The prorations set forth in this Section 6.5 shall be on a Property-by-Property basis and not among, or between, Properties, and shall not be allocated on an Applicable Share basis.

• Closing Statement (a) At least five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall submit to Buyer a written statement of estimated Current Assets and Current Liabilities as of the last day of the month immediately preceding the Closing Date (the "Estimated Closing Statement") containing the Company's good faith estimate of the Net Working Capital Amount (the "Estimated Net Working Capital Amount"), which shall reflect the items required to be set forth in, and be prepared in a manner consistent with the preparation of, the Closing Statement, in each case in accordance with Section 4.6(b); provided, however, that for purposes of the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount, the parties hereto agree that 50% of the amount of Fuel Sensor Damages (x) actually expended by Parent or the Company from March 1, 2011 through the last day of the month immediately preceding the Closing Date and (y) accrued as current liabilities on the Estimated Closing Statement, shall be added as a credit to the estimated Net Working Capital Amount set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement. Commencing with the Company's delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement to Buyer, Buyer shall have reasonable access to the books and records and personnel of the Company and the opportunity to consult with the Company for purposes of confirming or disputing the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount. If Buyer shall disagree, in good faith, with any item set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement or used to determine the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount, then Buyer and the Company shall work, in good faith, to reach agreement on such disputed items and the amounts as agreed to by Buyer and the Company shall constitute the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer's agreement with the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount (or any item set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement or used to determine the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount) shall not foreclose, prevent, limit or preclude any rights or remedy of Buyer set forth in this Agreement. If the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount is less than the Target Net Working Capital Amount, the amount of the Closing Payment to be paid by Buyer pursuant to Section 4.1(b)(i) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference between the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount and the Target Net Working Capital Amount. If the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount is more than the Target Net Working Capital Amount, the amount of the Closing Payment to be paid by Buyer pursuant to Section 4.1(b)(i) shall be increased by an amount equal to the difference between the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount and the Target Net Working Capital Amount.

• Final Closing Statement Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Parent shall deliver to the Holder Representative a statement (the “Closing Statement” and, in its final and binding form as determined below, the “Final Closing Statement”) setting forth the Closing Consideration and each component thereof as of immediately prior to the Closing, including final determinations as to the amounts of (A) the Company Cash, (B) the Funded Debt and (C) the Closing Net Working Capital. The Final Closing Statement and the components thereof shall be prepared in accordance with the Agreed Accounting Principles. The Holder Representative shall cooperate as reasonably requested in connection with the preparation of the Closing Statement. During the thirty (30)-day period immediately following the Holder Representative’s receipt of the Closing Statement, the Holder Representative shall be permitted to review Parent’s working papers related to the preparation of the Closing Statement and determination of the Closing Consideration and the components thereof. The Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon the parties upon the earlier of (x) thirty (30) days following the Holder Representative’s receipt thereof, unless the Holder Representative shall give written notice of its disagreement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Parent prior to such date and (y) the date that the Holder Representative notifies Parent of its acceptance thereof. Any Notice of Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail the nature and dollar amount of any disagreement so asserted. The Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon the resolution in writing of all disagreements the parties may have with respect thereto (whether by the written agreement of the parties or pursuant to the arbitration provisions set forth below). During the thirty (30) days following delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Parent and the Holder Representative shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences which they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. Following delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Parent and its agents and Representatives shall be permitted to review the Holder Representative’s and its Representatives’ working papers relating to the Notice of Disagreement. If, at the end of the thirty (30)-day period referred to above, the matters in dispute have not been fully resolved, then the parties shall submit to Ernst & Young LLP (or such other mutually agreed independent accountants of nationally recognized standing) (any such accounting firm, the “Accounting Firm”) for review and resolution of all matters (but only such matters) which remain in dispute, and the Accounting Firm shall make a final determination of the Closing Consideration and the components thereof to the extent such amounts are in dispute, in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement. The parties will reasonably cooperate with the Accounting Firm during the term of its engagement. The Accounting Firm shall be provided reasonable access to the books, records and other relevant information of the Company, Parent and the Holder Representative to the extent necessary to calculate the Closing Consideration. In resolving any matters in dispute, the Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item in dispute greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by Parent in the Closing Statement, on the one hand, or the Holder Representative in the Notice of Disagreement, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for such item assigned by Parent in the Closing Statement, on the one hand, or the Holder Representative in the Notice of Disagreement, on the other hand. The Accounting Firm’s determination shall be based solely on presentations by Parent and the Holder Representative which are in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review). Absent fraud committed by the Accounting Firm or manifest error (as to which Parent and the Holder Representative mutually agree), the Closing Statement and the determination of the Closing Consideration and the components thereof shall become final and binding on the parties on the date the Accounting Firm delivers its final resolution in writing to the parties (which the Accounting Firm shall be instructed to deliver not more than forty-five (45) days following submission of such disputed matters). The Accounting Firm shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator to determine solely the matters in dispute based solely on the submissions and responses of Parent, on the one hand, and the Holder Representative, on the other hand. The Accounting Firm shall allocate its costs and expenses between Parent and the Holder Representative, on behalf of the Holders, based upon the percentage of the contested amount submitted to the Accounting Firm that is ultimately awarded to Parent, on the one hand, or the Holder Representative on behalf of the Holders, on the other hand, such that Parent bears a percentage of such costs and expenses equal to the percentage of the contested amount awarded to the Holders and the Holders bear a percentage of such costs and expenses equal to the percentage of the contested amount awarded to Parent (such amount payable by the Holder Representative on behalf of the Holders to be deducted from the Purchase Price Adjustment Holdback and retained by Parent in accordance with Section 4.1(c)(ii)).

• 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.

• Closing Costs and Prorations Taxes and assessments for the current year, if any, shall be prorated between the prior owner of the Personal Property and Buyer as of the date of closing. Seller shall pay one-half (½) of Closing Agent’s closing and escrow fees. Buyer shall pay one-half (½) of Closing Agent’s closing and escrow fees. In addition, Buyer shall pay all other closing costs, including but not limited to: (1) recording fees for the cost of recording the State Deed; (2) the cost for any title insurance purchased at Buyer’s option; (3) lender fees, if any, together with all associated recording fees, if any; and (4) any other cost, fee, or expense which may be reasonably required in order for the transaction to close.

• Seller’s Closing Costs Seller shall pay the following costs in connection with the consummation of the Closing: (i) all of the charges and transfer taxes for recording the deeds; (ii) all commissions owed to any broker in accordance with the terms of a separate agreement between Seller and such broker; and (iii) all other charges incurred by the Seller in connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses for the Seller’s attorneys and other consultants).

• Prorations and Adjustments The following shall be prorated and adjusted between Seller and Buyer as of the Closing Date, except as otherwise specified:

• Closing Adjustments To the extent that any prorations, adjustments or other amounts with respect to the Contributed Entity or the Property shall be payable by or to the Contributors at or following each Closing in accordance with the provisions of the Master Agreement, the amount of the purchase consideration determined pursuant to Section 1.2(a) shall be adjusted accordingly, it being acknowledged and agreed by each Contributor that from and after the date hereof, (i) the Contributed Entity shall not declare, pay or otherwise make provision for any dividends or distributions and (ii) immediately prior to the Closing, in addition to any prorations, adjustments or other amounts payable by or to the Contributors with respect to the Contributed Entity or the Property, the Contributed Entity shall distribute to each Contributor receiving Securities an amount equal to the amount such Contributor would have been paid as a distribution on account of the Securities it will receive at Closing had such Securities been issued and sold to such Contributor at the Initial Closing.
