Real estate and personal property taxes and assessments for all years prior to the year in which Closing is held will be paid by Contributor at or prior to Closing.

Contributor shall attempt to have all utility meters read as of the Closing Date.
11.1.4 Rents. Rents collected by Owner or the SPE Entities prior to Closing will be prorated as of the Closing Date. During the period after Closing, the Company shall deliver to Contributor any and all rents accrued but uncollected as of the Closing Date to the extent subsequently collected by the Owner or the SPE Entities; provided, however, the Company shall apply rents received after Closing (net of any collection fees or expenses) first, to payment of current rent then due, second, to rents attributable to any period after the Closing that are past due on the date of receipt, and thereafter to delinquent rents existing as of the Closing.

ARTICLE 12
CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION
Section 12.1 Condemnation and Casualty. If, prior to the Closing Date, all or any portion of the Property is taken by condemnation or eminent domain, or is the subject of a pending taking that has not been consummated, or is destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, Contributor shall notify the Company of that fact promptly after Contributor obtains knowledge thereof. If the condemnation or casualty is “Material” (as hereinafter defined), the Company will have the option to terminate this Agreement upon notice to Contributor given not later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of Contributor’s notice or the Closing Date, whichever is earlier. If this Agreement is terminated, neither Contributor nor the Company will have any further rights or obligations to the other hereunder. If this Agreement is not terminated, Contributor will not be obligated to repair any damage or destruction but (x) Contributor shall assign and turn over to the Company all of the insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds, as applicable, (or, if not yet awarded, all of its right, title, and interest therein) payable with respect to the fire or other casualty or condemnation, including any rent abatement insurance for the casualty or condemnation, and (y) the Closing will occur pursuant to the terms hereof without abatement of the Consideration except for a credit in the amount of any deductible under applicable insurance, together with a credit for any uninsured amounts or underinsured amounts. The Company will have the right to participate in the negotiations and settlement of any casualty-related claim in the event the Company elects to proceed with Closing.
Section 12.2 Condemnation Not Material. If the condemnation is not Material, then the Closing will occur without abatement of the Consideration, and Contributor shall assign all remaining awards or any rights to collect awards to the Company on the Closing Date.
Section 12.3 Casualty Not Material. If the Casualty is not Material, then the Closing will occur without abatement of the Consideration except for a credit to the Company in the amount of any deductible, uninsured amounts, or underinsured amounts. The Company will have the right to participate in the negotiations and settlement of any casualty-related claim in the event the Company elects to proceed with Closing and Contributor will not be obligated to
28
repair the damage or destruction and Contributor shall assign and turn over to the Company all of the insurance proceeds (or, if not yet awarded, all of its right, title and interest therein) payable with respect to the fire or the casualty, including any rent abatement insurance for the casualty.
Section 12.4 Materiality. For purposes of this Article 12, (i) with respect to a taking by eminent domain, the term “Material” means any taking whatsoever, regardless of the amount of the award or the amount of the Property taken, and (ii) with respect to a casualty, the term “Material” means any casualty where the cost of repair is in excess of one percent (1%) of the Consideration.
ARTICLE 13
DEFAULT
Section 13.1 Company Default. If the Company defaults in its obligation to close hereunder (other than due to the acts or omissions of Contributor hereunder), Contributor will be entitled to receive, as full and complete liquidated damages and as the exclusive and sole right and remedy of Contributor, the Xxxxxxx Money as liquidated damages and not as penalty, in full satisfaction of claims against the Company hereunder, in which case neither the Company nor Contributor shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except those that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. Company and Contributor agree that Contributor’s damages resulting from the Company’s default are difficult, if not impossible, to determine and the Xxxxxxx Money is a fair estimate of those damages which has been agreed to in an effort to cause the amount of such damages to be certain.
Section 13.2 Contributor’s Default. If Contributor defaults in its obligation to close hereunder, the Company (i) may, but is not obligated to, extend the Closing Date for an additional period to permit Contributor to cure its default, provided that if the Company extends the Closing Date and Contributor fails to close in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement within the extended time period, then the Company may exercise any of its rights and remedies provided for in this Section 13.2, (ii) may avail itself of any legal or equitable rights (including, without limitation, the rights of specific performance and money damages that the Company may have at law or in equity or under this Agreement), (iii) may terminate this Agreement, in which event (a) Contributor shall reimburse the Company for all of its third party, out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) this Agreement will be null and void and the Parties will have no further obligations hereunder, and (iv) the Company may take such action on behalf of Contributor and incur such costs as the Company reasonably determines is necessary to cure any breach or default by Contributor hereunder (with such extension of the Closing Date and Closing Date as the Company reasonably determines is necessary in connection therewith), in which event (a) the Parties will proceed to Closing on such date as the Company elects by written notice to Contributor, and (b) the Consideration will be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate of all amounts expended and costs incurred by the Company, together with reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection with the Company’s cure of the default or breach. The Company will be reimbursed for all expenses incurred, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in connection with any action brought for specific performance under this Section 13.2. In no event will an election by the Company to proceed with Closing constitute a waiver of any claims that the Company may have with respect to any Contributor breach or default under this Agreement,
29
which claims expressly survive Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein limits the Company’s remedies at law, in equity, or as herein provided in the event (x) Contributor breaches any of its obligations hereunder that expressly survive Closing, (y) Contributor conveys the LLC Interest to a third party prior to the valid termination of this Agreement, or (z) Contributor willfully or intentionally takes any action to impair the Company’s right to specific performance or its rights under clause (iv) above.
