shall not be prorated on the Closing Date. Buyer shall include such
delinquencies in its normal billing and shall diligently pursue the collection
thereof in good faith after the Closing Date (but Buyer shall not be required to

immediately succeeding sentence, to the extent rents are collected by or on
behalf of Buyer on or after the Closing Date, such payments shall be applied

rents for months after the Closing, second to the rents for the month in which
the Closing occurs, and third to any delinquent rents owed with respect to
months prior to the Closing, with Seller's share thereof being promptly
delivered to Seller by Buyer. If percentage rents are collected by or on behalf
of Buyer on or after the Closing Date, such percentage rents shall be allocated
to the period to which they relate irrespective of the provisions of the

right to pursue any remedy against any tenant owing delinquent rents for periods
not exceeding two months prior to the Closing Date and not any other amounts to
Seller (except as provided in Section 8(a)(ii) above), which right shall include
the right to continue or commence legal actions or proceedings against any
tenant; provided, however, that Seller will not institute any action seeking
eviction or ejectment of any tenant and prior to commencing any legal actions or
proceedings for collection of rents against any tenant while such tenant remains
a tenant at the Property, Seller will give notice ("Seller's Suit Notice") to
Buyer of Seller's intent to commence a legal action or proceeding against such
tenant. Not later than five business days after its receipt of Seller's Suit
Notice, Buyer may direct Seller not to institute a legal action or proceeding
against such tenant provided Buyer concurrently pays to Seller the amount of the
delinquent rents for periods not exceeding two months prior to the Closing Date
or other amounts owed to Seller by such tenant. Upon payment by Buyer to Seller
of such delinquent rents or other amount owed to Seller, Buyer will be
subrogated to Seller's rights against such tenant for such rents and other
amounts paid by Buyer. Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in any
collection efforts hereunder (but shall not be required to litigate or declare a
default under any Lease). With respect to delinquent rents and any other amounts
or other rights of any kind respecting tenants who are no longer tenants of the
Property at any time following the Closing Date, Seller shall retain all rights
relating to its share thereof.
-11-
(c) The amount of any security deposits held by Seller under the Leases
shall be credited to Buyer, and thereafter, Buyer shall be responsible for same.
(d) If any of the items described in this Section 8 hereof cannot be
apportioned at the Closing because of the unavailability of information as to
the amounts which are to be apportioned or otherwise, or are incorrectly
apportioned at Closing or subsequent thereto, such items shall be apportioned or
reapportioned, as the case may be, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date
or the date such error is discovered, as applicable.
(e) If the Closing shall occur before a real estate or personal
property tax rate or assessment is fixed for the tax year in which the Closing
occurs, the apportionment of taxes at the Closing shall be upon the basis of the
tax rate or assessment for the preceding fiscal year applied to the latest
assessed valuation. Promptly after the new tax rate or assessment is fixed, the
apportionment of taxes or assessments shall be recomputed and any discrepancy
resulting from such recomputation and any errors or omissions in computing
apportionments at Closing shall be promptly corrected and the proper party
reimbursed. The foregoing adjustment will not apply to any interim assessment
relating to the completion of new construction and the issuance of an original
occupancy permit for improvements.
(f) If after the Closing, the parties discover any errors in
adjustments and apportionments, same shall be corrected as soon after their
discovery as possible. The provisions of this Article 8 shall survive the
closing, provided that no adjustments shall be made later than one (1) year
after the Closing Date unless prior to such date the party seeking the
adjustment shall have delivered a written notice to the other specifying the
nature and basis for such claim.
SECTION 9. Defaults. (a) In the event the Buyer fails or refuses to
consummate the purchase of the Premises in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement for any reason constituting a default on the part of Buyer, then
Escrow Agent shall pay to Seller the Deposit then paid and Seller shall retain
the Deposit then paid as full liquidated damages in full and complete
satisfaction of all claims against the Buyer and without recourse to any other
remedies, legal or equitable. The parties have agreed that actual damages in
such event are impossible to determine, and therefore have agreed upon the
foregoing liquidated damages, after negotiation, as the parties' best estimate
of actual damages which would be incurred in such circumstances.
(b) If the conditions set forth in Section 12.1 have not been satisfied
as of the Closing Date, then Buyer may elect to (i) accept title to the Premises
subject to the defaulted obligation of Seller (and in the case of a liquidated
Encumbrance, use the Purchase Price to eliminate such title defect), or (ii)
seek specific performance of this Agreement (and receive reimbursement from
Seller for reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, if Buyer is the prevailing
party in such action) or (iii) terminate this Agreement and elect to receive the
-12-
return of the Deposit and any interest earned thereon, and in the event such
Seller's default is a Willful Default (as hereinafter defined), be compensated
by Seller for all actual damages sustained by Buyer as a result of Seller's
breach of this Agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees and disbursements. The term "Willful Default" as used in this Agreement
shall mean (a) Seller's willful refusal to convey title to the Property at the
Closing, (b) Seller's refusal to cause any Encumbrance to be released (or
insured over) but only if and to the extent that Seller is obligated to do so
under this Agreement, (c) Seller voluntarily taking any action which has the
effect of frustrating the intention of the parties under this Agreement (e.g.

subsection (d) herein, if for any reason whatsoever the conditions set forth in
subsection (a) are not fulfilled within the time periods set forth in subsection
(a), no Earn-Out Fee or other compensation shall be payable to Seller or any of
its Affiliates with respect to the leasing of the Property, and Seller hereby
acknowledges that in such instance it shall have no right to file a lien,
against the Property or any interest of Buyer (or any Affiliate thereof)
therein.
(c) Buyer's agreement to pay the Earnout Fee is based on the assumption
that Buyer shall not be obligated to pay any commission or other fee to a
broker, finder or other person in connection with any lease executed with any of
the New Tenants. Seller shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend Buyer (and all
Affiliates thereof) from and against any and all claims, demands, actions,
causes of action, suits, judgments, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements) incurred in connection with demands for commissions or fees with
respect to the leasing of retail space at the Property to any of the New
Tenants, except with respect to any broker retained by Buyer. If Buyer is
required to pay a commission to any broker or finder in connection with a lease
with any New Tenant (other than to a broker retained by Buyer), then Buyer shall
have the right to reduce the amount of the Earnout Fee by the amount of any such
commission which Buyer is required to pay.
(d) It is the intent of the parties that Buyer not be able to avoid
paying the Earnout Fee on account of a lease with a New Tenant by waiting to
satisfy the conditions under subsection (a) until after the required dates for
satisfaction of such conditions have passed. Accordingly, if Seller shall have
satisfied the condition set forth in subsection (a)(ii), and Buyer shall be
negotiating a lease with a New Tenant during the two hundred and forty (240) day
-23-
period referred to in subsection (a)(iii), and such lease shall not be fully and
unconditionally executed and delivered within such period but shall thereafter
be fully and unconditionally executed and delivered within one year of the date
of Closing, then the Earnout Fee shall nevertheless be deemed Earned, provided
that the New Tenant shall open its premises for business and commence the
payment of fixed rent no later than eighteen (18) months (notwithstanding the
provisions of subsection (a)(iv) hereof) after the date of Closing.
