Page 12
(i) Rents. All rents under the Leases for the month in which Closing occurs which are actually received by Seller shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. All advance payments of rents, other than for the month in which Closing occurs, and all Deposits shall be paid by Seller to Purchaser at Closing. Delinquent rents and additional rents owed for the month during which Closing occurs (for the pro rata period of Seller's ownership of such Property) or prior to the month during which the Closing takes place shall remain the property of Seller, and Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts (not to include commencing any eviction action or other litigation to collect such delinquency) to collect such delinquent rents and additional rents for the benefit of Seller and shall cooperate with Seller in the collection of any such delinquent rents and additional rents by Seller. Seller shall retain the right to pursue all remedies (excluding eviction of tenants) against tenants from whom Purchaser is unable to collect such delinquent rents and additional rents despite reasonable efforts. All rent received by Seller after Closing shall promptly be delivered to Purchaser. All rent received by Purchaser after the Closing Date shall be applied first to current rentals and then to delinquent rentals, if any, in the inverse order of maturity.
(ii) Additional Rents/Expense Reconciliation. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that certain additional rents are collected on an estimated basis and are attributable to, among other things, percentage rents, expense escalation reimbursements, operating expense pass-throughs and/or common area maintenance reimbursements. The parties further agree to account for any difference in the amounts actually collected as compared to the actual expenses associated therewith to the applicable party at such time as the actual expenses are determined, but effective as of the Closing Date.
(iii) All operating receipts and expenses, utilities expenses, taxes, water and sewer rents, or similar charges or fees, and inventories of supplies, if any, are to be adjusted as of midnight of the day preceding the date of Closing. Taxes, general and special, are to be adjusted according to the certificate of taxes issued by the taxing authority in the jurisdiction in which the Property is situate, except that assessments for improvements completed prior to the date of this Agreement, whether assessment therefor has been levied or not, shall be paid for by Seller or allowance made therefor at the time of Closing.
(iv) All Service Contracts to be assigned to and assumed by Purchaser at Closing shall be adjusted between the parties as of midnight of the day preceding the date of Closing.
(v) Any other costs or charges of closing this transaction not specifically mentioned in this Agreement shall be paid and adjusted in accordance with local custom in the area in which the Property is located.
(vi) Except as expressly provided herein, the purpose and intent as to the provisions of prorations and apportionments set forth in this Section 12 and elsewhere in this Agreement is that Seller shall bear all expenses of ownership and operation of the Property and shall receive all income therefrom accruing through midnight of the day preceding the date of Closing and Purchaser shall bear all such expenses and receive all such income accruing thereafter.

Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall record this Agreement or any notice thereof among the Land Records. Solely for purposes of compliance with the Rule Against Perpetuities, in the event that Closing hereunder shall not have occurred before the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date, then anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall automatically be rendered null and void. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Land is located. If any provision of this Agreement or its application to any party or circumstances shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid and unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such provision to such person or circumstances, other than those as to which it is so determined invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision hereof shall be valid and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
