In addition, the party who prevails shall be indemnified against any cost or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (both at trial and on appeal), and replacement of any depletion in the escrow funds, if such funds are ultimately to be paid to the prevailing party. This provision shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(i) Taxes and assessments, special and otherwise, which are a lien against the Property and which are due and payable as of the date of Closing shall be paid (or caused to be paid) by Seller at or prior to Closing. All other liens which encumber the Property as of Closing shall be the sole responsibility of Seller; provided, that, Purchaser may, at its option, pay any such liens and receive full credit against the Purchase Price.
(ii) Current real estate taxes shall be prorated for those taxes which are due and payable during the calendar or other fiscal tax year in which the Closing Date occurs except taxes which are the responsibility of Bi-Lo under the terms of its lease. In the event that as of the Closing Date the actual tax bills for the tax year or years in question are not available and the amount of taxes to be prorated as aforesaid cannot be ascertained, then rates, millages and assessed valuation of the previous year, with known changes, shall be used; and after the Closing occurs and when the actual amount of taxes for the year or years in question shall be determinable, such taxes will be re-prorated between the parties to reflect the actual amount of such taxes. Reimbursements received by Seller or Purchaser of amounts paid and/or due for current real estate taxes shall be prorated between the parties in the manner hereinabove provided for the proration of real estate taxes.
Page 12
(iii) Seller shall pay all real estate transfer taxes and documentary stamps associated with the conveyance of the Property by Seller to Purchaser.
(iv) Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (or Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of) all unapplied security deposits provided for under the Leases or the estoppel (including all interest earned thereon if required by applicable laws).
(v) Seller shall pay all water, sewer, and utility charges, common area maintenance charges, and other operating expenditures through Closing, and receive a credit for such charges applicable to periods after the Closing. If final readings have not been taken, estimated charges based on the most recent statements received shall be prorated between the parties, and post-closing adjustments shall be made when the actual xxxxxxxx are received or an escrow shall be established to provide for payment of utility and other maintenance payables.
(vi) Tenant rentals paid in advance received by Seller prior to Closing shall be prorated between the parties. If and when Purchaser receives any past due rents, current rents or other charges owing with respect to periods before the Closing date, Purchaser shall be entitled to apply such sums to current rent and other charges, and shall remit any excess sums allocable to periods prior to the date of Closing to Seller. Purchaser shall have no obligation to pursue collection of any delinquent amounts owing as of Closing to Seller from any of the tenants of the Property. After Closing, Seller shall not pursue any remedies against any tenant at the Property.
(vii) All utilities, operating expenses and other apportionable income and expenses paid or payable by Seller, including without limitation, Common Area Maintenance charges due under the Leases (collectively “CAM Charges”), shall be apportioned pro rata on a per diem basis as of 12:01 A.M. on the date of Closing. Seller shall use its best efforts to cause any and all public utilities serving the Property to issue final bills to Seller on the basis of readings made as of Closing and all such bills shall be paid by Seller. At Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall perform a final reconciliation of the CAM Charges due under the Leases for the calendar year up to the date of Closing (the “Short Year”) as follows: (i) Purchaser shall pay to Seller the amount by which the CAM Charges actually paid by Seller during such Short Year exceed that portion of funds Seller collected from tenants for CAM Charges (which are not otherwise paid directly by such tenants) during the Short Year, or (ii) Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount by which that portion of funds Seller collected from tenants for CAM Charges (which are not otherwise paid directly by such tenants) during the Short Year exceeds the CAM Charges actually paid by Seller during such Short Year. Seller shall provide all relevant information regarding such reconciliation of the CAM Charges to Purchaser at least ten (10) days prior to Closing.
(viii) At Closing Seller and Purchaser shall enter into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) by which Escrow Agreement Seller shall deposit $92,916.00 into escrow with Escrow Agent. Purchaser shall draw against the Escrow Agreement in the amount of $2,581.00 per month for 36 months beginning one month from Closing. The payments from the Escrow Agreement shall continue until the space now leased to Subway has been leased by Seller prior to Closing or Purchaser after Closing to another tenant or after 36 payments have been paid out of escrow to Purchaser, whichever occurs earlier. The cost of the Escrow Agreement shall be paid by Seller. In the event there are funds remaining in
Page 13
escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement when the Subway premises are leased by Seller prior to Closing or Purchaser after Closing to another tenant, the remaining funds shall be paid as follows: (a) if the Subway premises are leased for more than $18.14 per square foot plus $3.98 CAM on an annual basis, then the remaining funds shall be paid to Seller; (b) if the Subway premises are leased for less than $18.14 per square foot plus $3.98 CAM on an annual basis, then funds shall be paid to Purchaser which will, when added to the rent paid by the new tenant of the Subway premises, equal $18.14 per square foot plus $3.98 CAM on an annual basis for the remainder of the 36 months, and after such payment to Purchaser the remaining funds shall be paid to Seller.
