Buyer shall notify Seller in writing within said five (5) business days if Buyer has a good faith basis to believe that the Additional Improvements were not constructed according to the Plans and Specifications or that the Completion Documents are not accurate or complete.

(i) Continue the term of this Agreement pending Completion of the Asset; or
(ii) Terminate this Agreement, in which event Buyer’s Deposit and Additional Deposit plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be returned to Buyer and thereafter this Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate, except as and to the extent otherwise expressly herein provided.
(b) If Buyer elects to continue this Agreement pursuant to clause (i) above, then by the fifteenth (15th) day of each subsequent month, if Completion of the Asset has not occurred, Buyer shall have the same option to continue or terminate as set forth above.

If any such damage or proceeding relates to or may result in the loss of any material portion of the Property (which, for purposes of this Agreement, shall mean damage or loss which would entitle Tenant to either xxxxx rent or terminate the Lease or is a type of casualty not fully covered by insurance and would require the lessor under the Lease to repair the same at its cost after Closing), Buyer may, at its option, elect either to:

17. Prorations. The following items shall be apportioned by the parties as of the Closing:
(a) Rents and other receivables under the Lease (collectively, “Rents”) shall be accounted for as follows:
(i) Rents due and payable in the month of the Closing shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller on the basis that Seller has collected all current Rents;
-15-
(ii) Buyer shall be entitled to all Rents and other receivables accruing after the Closing;
(iii) Rents and other charges which at Closing are thirty (30) or more days past due (“Delinquent Rents”) shall not be prorated.

For a period of thirty (30) days after the Closing, Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to collect Delinquent Rents, but such undertaking shall not be deemed to obligate Buyer to extend any funds or institute any legal proceedings of any kind.

Seller shall promptly remit to Buyer all sums received by Seller from Tenant after Closing other than for rents for which Buyer received credit hereunder;
(iv) Reserved; and
(v) Buyer shall be credited and Seller shall be charged with any security deposits or advance rentals in the nature of security deposits made by Tenant under the Lease.
(b) Seller shall pay all charges for deliveries made, insurance provided and services rendered to the Property up to the Closing. Any items on order but undelivered as of the Closing will be reviewed and accepted or cancelled as desired by Buyer without cost to Buyer.

In the event Seller receives any payment from Tenants for any taxes, Seller shall credit Buyer for all such amounts received. In the event the actual real property taxes differ from the latest available information used to prorate such amounts, Buyer and Seller shall re-prorate such amounts promptly upon receipt of information regarding such actual amounts.
(d) To the extent Tenant is not required to pay for such items under the Lease, utilities, services and operating expenses with respect to the Land and the Improvements based upon the latest available information, such that Seller shall be responsible for all such costs and expenses to and including the day prior to the Closing and Buyer shall be responsible for all such costs and expenses (except any management, service, maintenance or leasing fees and expenses pursuant to contracts not previously approved by Buyer during the Inspection Period) after the day prior to the Closing. Seller shall endeavor to have all meters read for all utilities servicing the Property including, without limitation, water, sewer, gas and electricity, for the period to and including the day prior to the Closing and shall pay all bills rendered on the basis of such readings. If, on the Closing, Seller is unable to have any utility meters read, Buyer and Seller shall estimate the amount of such bills based on the immediately preceding utility bills, and such amount shall be credited to Buyer at the Closing. Premiums for casualty and liability insurance shall not be prorated as Buyer will be obtaining its own such insurance upon the Closing.
-16-
If any errors or omissions are made regarding adjustments and prorations as set forth above, the parties shall make the appropriate corrections promptly upon the discovery thereof. If any estimations are made at the Closing regarding adjustments or prorations (including, without limitation, with respect to utility charges, operating costs and expenses and supplemental tax bills relating to the Property), the parties shall make the appropriate correction promptly when accurate information becomes available.
