(a) Real estate taxes and assessments constituting a lien and allocable to the payment period that includes the Closing Date, personal property taxes, if any, rental income and all other items of income and expense with respect to the Property shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer as of the Closing Date. Income and expenses shall be prorated on the basis of a 30-day month and on the basis of the accrual method of accounting. All such items attributable to the period through and including the Closing Date shall be credited to Seller; all such items attributable to the period following the Closing Date shall be credited to Buyer. Buyer shall be credited in escrow with (i) any portion of rental agreement or lease deposits in Seller’s possession with respect to the Property which are refundable to Fuji and (ii) rent prepaid beyond the Closing Date. Buyer shall be responsible for all costs payable to transfer any security deposit held in the form of a letter of credit. Buyer shall not be entitled to any interest on rental agreements or lease deposits or prepaid rent accrued on or before the Closing Date. Seller shall be credited in escrow with any refundable deposits or bonds held by any utility, governmental agency or service contractor with respect to the Property. Seller shall be credited in escrow with any prepaid real estate taxes and assessments allocable to the period after the Closing Date. In addition to the Purchase Price, Buyer shall deliver into escrow funds by federal funds wire transfer in immediately available funds on the Closing Date equal to the sum of (A) the Lump Sum Payment (as defined and described in each Lease to Fuji at the Property) for each Lease to Fuji at the Property (collectively, the “Lump Sum Payments”), and (B) the estimated discounted present value of the Compensable Increase in Real Property Taxes (as defined and described in each Lease to Fuji at the Property) for each Lease to Fuji at the Property (collectively, the “Tax Payments”). As of the Contract Date, the aggregate amount of the Lump Sum Payments is equal to $1,011,017.00, and the aggregate amount of the Tax Payments is equal to $1,206,265.00. The calculations of such payments are set forth on Schedule 6.3(a) attached hereto, which calculations are in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Leases to Fuji at the Property. Seller shall provide Buyer with any adjustments to the amount of the Lump Sum Payments, and the amount of the Tax Payments, in each case at least two (2) business days in advance of the Closing Date. Any adjustments to such amounts shall be determined in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Leases to Fuji at the Property utilizing the applicable methods of calculation set forth on Schedule 6.3(a), which methods of calculation are hereby accepted by Buyer. As of the Closing Date, Buyer shall assume all obligations for the payment of any outstanding tenant improvement or other allowances under each Lease to Fuji at the Property (collectively, the “Fuji Allowance Amount”), and Seller shall have no liability with respect thereto.
| 12. |
(b) Buyer and Seller shall reasonably cooperate to produce prior to the Closing Date a schedule of prorations to be made on and after the Closing Date as complete and accurate as reasonably possible. With respect to taxes or other expenses payable or reimbursable by Fuji, the amounts prorated between Buyer and Seller shall be the net amounts (if any) not subject to payment or reimbursement by Fuji. All prorations which can be liquidated accurately or reasonably estimated as of the Closing Date shall be made in escrow on the Closing Date. All other prorations, and adjustments to initial estimated prorations, shall be made by the parties with due diligence and cooperation within 30 days following the Closing Date, or such later time as may be required to obtain necessary information for proration, by immediate cash payment to the party yielding a net credit from such prorations from the other party.
(c) Buyer shall, consistent with reasonable business judgment, exert its commercially reasonable efforts to collect for Seller following the Closing Date all rental income which is delinquent on the Closing Date; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be required to commence legal proceedings to collect such rents. Notwithstanding the foregoing proviso, Seller reserves the right to pursue an action for damages against Fuji with respect to such delinquent rents, provided that neither of Fuji’s Leases may be terminated. Any sums collected on account of rents after the Closing Date shall be successively applied to the payment of (i) rent due and payable in the months succeeding the month in which the closing occurs, (ii) rent due and payable in the month in which the closing occurs and (iii) rent due and payable in the months preceding the month in which the closing occurs.

(a) Buyer shall be bound to purchase the Property as required by the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.2 hereof) without regard to the occurrence or effect of any damage to or destruction of the improvements on the Real Property or condemnation by right of eminent domain, provided that the occurrence of any damage or destruction is (i) covered by insurance (excepting deductibles), or (ii) if not covered by insurance, involves repair costs of $500,000 or less, and (iii) does not result in the termination of either Fuji Lease. If Buyer is so bound to purchase notwithstanding the occurrence of damage, destruction or condemnation, upon the close of escrow: (A) in the event of damage covered by insurance, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount (net of collection costs) equal to the sum of (i) any insurance proceeds or condemnation award collected and retained by Seller as a result of any such damage or destruction or condemnation and Seller shall assign to Buyer all rights to such insurance proceeds or condemnation awards as shall not have been collected prior to the close of escrow, and (ii) an amount equal to Seller’s insurance deductible under its insurance policy; and (B) in the event of damage not covered by insurance, Buyer shall receive a credit (not to exceed $500,000) in the amount of the estimated cost to repair the damage.
(b) Buyer and Seller shall each have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice of election given to the other party within five (5) business days following the event if there occurs damage or destruction not covered by insurance which involves repair costs in excess of $500,000, unless (i) Seller agrees in writing to complete such repairs at Seller’s expense, and (ii) it does not result in the termination of either Fuji Lease. In the event of such a termination, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer.

Section 7.12 Damages.

Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement (as provided in subsection (i) above) if Buyer fails to deliver to Seller written notice of its intent to file a cause of action for specific performance against Seller on or before ten (10) business days after written notice of termination from Seller or ten (10) business days after the scheduled Closing Date, whichever shall occur first, or having given Seller notice, fails to file a lawsuit asserting such cause of action within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date.

Performance by an Intermediary in effectuating an exchange will be treated as if such performance were made by the Requesting Party, and the Requesting Party shall remain the primary obligor for the full and timely performance of all obligations of the Requesting Party under this Agreement. In the event of any breach of such representations, warranties, covenants, or other obligations, the Non-Requesting Party shall proceed directly against the Requesting Party. The Non-Requesting Party shall not be required to assume any liabilities as a result of the exchange transaction that are in addition to those which would exist if the transaction were effectuated as a sale by the Requesting Party and not effectuated as an exchange. The Requesting Party hereby agrees to indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Non-Requesting Party) and hold harmless the Non-Requesting Party from and against any and all liability, claims, loss, cost, damage, or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Non-Requesting Party and arising out of or relating to the Non-Requesting Party’s participation in the Exchange.
