(a) a duly executed grant deed in the form of Exhibit H, conveying the “Land” (which hereinafter refers to the Isabelle Land, Pueblo Land and Madison Land in the aggregate) and “Improvements” (which hereinafter refers to the Isabelle Improvements, Pueblo Improvements and Madison Improvements in the aggregate), subject only to the Permitted Exceptions; the warranty of title in the Deed will be only as to claims made by, through or under Seller and not otherwise;

Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller for a period of two (2) years after the Closing in case of Seller's need in response to any legal requirements, tax audits, tax return preparation or litigation threatened or brought against Seller, by allowing Seller and its agents or representatives access, upon reasonable advance notice (which notice shall identify the nature of the information sought by Seller), at all reasonable times to examine and make copies of any and all instruments, files and records, which right shall survive the Closing.
4.3 Purchaser's Obligations at Closing. At or prior to Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to Title Company or in the case of the Purchase Price to the Seller:

4.5 Apportionments. The following apportionments shall be made between Seller and Purchaser as of 11:59 P.M. local time at the Properties, on the day immediately preceding the Right to Use Date of the respective Property (the “Apportionment Date”). Where applicable, the apportionments shall be made by the Purchaser and Seller pursuant to and as defined in Section 4.17.
(a) Amounts paid or payable under the Leases, under any new leases executed after the date of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions hereof. 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 and Purchaser after the Closing Date shall be delivered as follows: (a) if Seller hereafter collects any unpaid or delinquent rent for the Properties, 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 hereafter collects any unpaid or delinquent rent from the Properties, 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 (i) all rent received by Seller after the date of Closing shall be applied first to delinquent rentals, if any, in the order of their maturity, and then to current rentals, and (ii) all rent received by 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 Properties, but Purchaser will not be obligated to institute any lawsuit or other collection procedures to collect delinquent rents. Purchaser hereby assumes responsibility for the payment of any unpaid leasing commissions and tenant inducement costs with respect to the Properties under the Leases from and after the Effective Date.
(b) 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 Properties (collectively, the “Taxes”), relating to the Properties for the year in which Closing occurs. If the Closing shall occur before the actual Taxes for 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 Properties, 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 Properties 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 undertakes a tax protest with respect to all or any portion of the Taxes for the year in which Closing occurs or 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. All Taxes assessed for periods after the date of Closing shall be paid by Purchaser.
(c) With respect to electricity, telephone, 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 prorated 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.
4.6 Property Not Included In Sale. The following shall not be included in the Properties to be sold, leased or otherwise owned by Purchaser hereunder, any marijuana plants in whatever form, i.e. seeds, plants, stems, flowers, leaves or any other things that may be derived therefrom, including any cash being kept on the property which is derived in any way, either directly or indirectly, from the production, sale or cultivation of marijuana belonging to any current tenant occupying the Land or Improvements thereon. The foregoing exclusions shall not apply to the collection and receipt of rents derived through the Purchasers normal course of business.
4.7 Settlement of Apportionments. If the computation of the apportionments and adjustments described in this Section 4 shows that a net amount is owed by Seller to Purchaser, such amount shall be credited against the Purchase Price as provided for in Section 1.6. If such computation shows that a net amount is owed by Purchaser to Seller, such amount shall be paid by wire transfer to Seller by Purchaser on the Closing Date in addition to the payment of the cash portion of the Purchase Price to be made by Purchaser under Section 1.6.
4.8 Post-Closing Collections and Adjustments. Concurrently with the Closing, representatives of Seller and Purchaser shall cause a preliminary closing statement to be prepared reflecting their respective closing costs, the apportionments, the payment of the Purchase Price and all other terms of this Agreement affecting or relating to the amount of and adjustments to the consideration to be paid for the Properties. In the event either Purchaser or Seller becomes aware of any item in the closing statement which requires adjustment as a result of new information or the ascertainment of actual amounts for items which are the subject of estimates at Closing, it shall promptly advise the other in writing and provide such supporting documentation as shall reasonably be required. Upon the ninetieth (90th) day following the date of Closing, or earlier upon mutual agreement of the parties, Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, shall make such additional payment or refund as shall be required by the aggregate of any such post-Closing adjustments, and a final closing statement shall be prepared to reflect such revisions, subject only to subsequent adjustments provided for in Section 4.5. In addition, if accurate allocations cannot be made at Closing or on the final closing statement because current bills are not then obtainable (as, for example, in the case of utility bills or real estate or personal property taxes), the parties shall allocate such revenue or expenses at Closing on the best available information, subject to adjustment upon receipt of the final xxxx or other evidence of the applicable revenue or expense. The obligation to make the adjustment shall survive the Closing. Any revenue received or expense incurred by Seller or Purchaser with respect to the Properties after the date of Closing shall be promptly allocated in the manner described herein and the parties shall promptly pay or reimburse any amount due. This provision shall not merge with the grant deed delivered hereunder but shall survive Closing.
4.9 Closing Statement. On the day of or on the day prior to the day of Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall make such inventories and examinations as Purchaser and Seller may deem necessary, make the apportionments, adjustments and prorations required under this Agreement. Purchaser and Seller shall make the apportionments described in this Article IV, except as specifically set forth to the contrary herein. The determination shall be used in the preparation of the Closing statement which will show the net amount of apportionments and adjustments due either to Seller or to Purchaser as the result of the prorations and credits specified in this Article IV.

If neither Seller nor Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement within ten (10) days after Seller sends Purchaser written notice of the occurrence of major loss or damage, then Seller and Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with Closing, in which event Seller shall, at Seller's option, either (a) perform any necessary repairs, or (b) assign to Purchaser all of Seller's right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards relating to the premises in question. In the event that Seller elects to perform repairs upon the Properties, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to complete such repairs promptly and the date of Closing shall be extended a reasonable time in order to allow for the completion of such repairs.
