6.1.2. Real estate taxes and assessments (“Taxes”), including penalties and interest, shall be prorated as follows: Seller shall pay all Taxes which became due and payable prior to the Closing and a prorata share of the Taxes becoming due and payable after the Closing based on the Taxes which are a lien for the year of the Closing, even if such Taxes and assessments are not yet due and payable. All prorations shall be based upon the most recent available tax rates, assessments and valuations.
6.1.3. Electric, gas, water and sewer charges on the basis of the most recent bills available, but if there are meters on the Property, Seller, to the extent the same is obtainable, shall furnish a reading effective as of the Adjustment Date, or if not so obtainable, to a date not more than 15 days prior to the Adjustment Date, and the unfixed meter charges based thereon for the intervening period shall be apportioned on the basis of such last reading. Upon the taking of a subsequent actual reading, such apportionment shall be readjusted and Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, will promptly deliver to the other the amount determined to be so due upon such readjustment. If Seller is unable to furnish such prior reading, any reading subsequent to the Closing will be apportioned on a per diem basis from the date of such reading immediately prior thereto and Seller shall pay the proportionate charges due up to the date of Closing.
6.1.4. Amounts paid or payable in respect of any Contracts assigned to Purchaser pursuant to the "Xxxx of Sale and Assignment" (as such term is defined in Section 8.1.2 hereof).
6.1.5. Purchaser shall receive a credit against the cash portion of the Purchase Price in an amount equal to all unapplied Tenant security deposits and accrued interest which Seller has received from Tenants.
6.1.6. Any leasing commissions with respect to the Leases shall be the sole responsibility of Seller, and shall be paid or discharged fully at or prior to Closing.
6.1.7. Seller shall make all units at the Apartments which are vacant seven (7) days prior to the Closing Date ready for occupancy by incoming tenants, consistent with Seller’s past practices (the “Rent Ready Condition”). If any such vacant unit is not in Rent Ready Condition prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing in an amount equal to $750.00 per unit that is not in Rent Ready Condition. Purchaser is required to inspect any such vacant unit at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.
Except as set forth in this Agreement, the customs of the county in which the Property is located shall govern prorations. The provisions of this Section 6.1 shall survive the Closing.
13
6.2. If final prorations cannot be made at Closing for any item being prorated under Section 6.1, then Purchaser and Seller agree to allocate such items on a fair and equitable basis as soon as invoices or bills are available, with final adjustment to be made as soon as reasonably possible after the Closing, but no later than 120 days after the Closing, to the effect that income and expenses are received and paid by the parties on an accrual basis with respect to their period of ownership. Payments in connection with the final adjustment shall be due within 30 days of written notice. Upon request, Seller shall be provided reasonably satisfactory documentation (such as invoices or receipts) to confirm the final prorations.

If damage, loss or destruction of the Property or any part thereof, by fire, earthquake, or other casualty, occurs prior to the Closing, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of such damage, loss or destruction.
16
11.2. If the Property is damaged by fire, earthquake, or other casualty, and the damage, loss or destruction shall cost less than $750,000.00 to repair, based upon the determination of a contractor acceptable to Seller and Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (“Acceptable Contractor”), then Purchaser shall close the purchase of the Property with a credit against the cash portion of the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the cost of repairing such damage as so determined together with an assignment of Seller's rights to payments with respect to rents due subsequent to the Closing Date under any rental insurance policy or policies with respect to the Property; provided, however, Purchaser shall have the right to elect to terminate this Agreement if, as a result of such damage by fire, earthquake, or other casualty, (i) the Property may not, as a matter of applicable law, be rebuilt as it currently exists, or (ii) access to the Property from a publicly dedicated street is prevented, and if Purchaser so elects, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be immediately refunded to Purchaser, and thereupon, this Agreement shall be terminated and the parties hereto shall be relieved of all further obligations and liability under this Agreement, other than those that are expressly stated to survive the termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XII. REMEDIES FOR DEFAULT
12.1. Seller’s covenants, indemnities, warranties and representations contained in this Agreement and in any document executed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement shall survive Purchaser’s purchase of the Property only for a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending one year after the Closing Date (the “Limitation Period”). Seller’s liability for breach of any such covenant, indemnity, representation or warranty shall be limited to claims in excess of an aggregate amount of $10,000, and Seller shall be liable only to the extent that such aggregate amount exceeds such figure. Seller’s aggregate liability for claims arising out of such covenants, indemnities, representations and warranties shall not exceed $1,000,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller shall not be liable for consequential, punitive and/or exemplary damages of any nature whatsoever except due to fraud or gross negligence, or for any matters actually known by Purchaser prior to the Closing. Purchaser shall provide written notice to Seller of any alleged breach of such covenants, indemnities, warranties or representations and shall allow Seller 30 days within which to cure such breach, or, if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within 30 days, an additional 30 days (for a total of 60 days), so long as such cure has been commenced within such 30 days and is being diligently pursued. If Seller fails to cure such breach after written notice and within such cure period, Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be an action at law for actual damages as a consequence thereof, provided that any claim or action at law for actual damages brought after Closing based upon a misrepresentation or a breach of a covenant, indemnity, warranty or representation under this Agreement shall be actionable or enforceable if and only if notice of such claim is given to Seller within 60 days following the expiration of the Limitation Period. The Limitation Period referred to herein shall apply to known as well as unknown breaches of such covenants, indemnities, warranties or representations. Purchaser specifically acknowledges that such termination of liability represents a material element of the consideration to Seller. The limitation as to Seller’s liability in this Section 12.1(a) does not apply to Seller’s liability with respect to prorations and adjustments under Article VI. The provision of this Section 12.1(a) shall survive indefinitely the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement and shall not be merged into the Deed or other closing documents.
18
12.2 If Seller defaults in its obligation to sell and convey the Property to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise materially breaches its covenants, indemnities, warranties and representations contained in this Agreement (and such breach is actually known to Purchaser prior to Closing), and such default or material breach shall continue uncured following the fifth day after written notice thereof is given to Seller by Purchaser (except that no notice or cure period shall apply to Seller’s obligation to deliver the documents required under Section 8.1 on or prior to the scheduled Closing Date or otherwise authorize Closing upon satisfaction of the conditions in Section 5.3), Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to elect one of the following: (a) to terminate this Agreement, in which event Purchaser shall be entitled to (i) the return by the Escrow Agent to Purchaser of the Xxxxxxx Money, and (ii) recovery from Seller of Purchaser’s actual and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with entering into this Agreement and attempting to purchase the Property, including without limitation, due diligence inspections performed by Purchaser and its consultants, up to a maximum amount of $75,000.00 in the aggregate plus, if and only if such default is the result of Seller’s intentional breach of this Agreement, any actual non-refundable rate lock, spread lock or similar deposit or purchase price of any rate cap or swap made by Purchaser not earlier than five (5) Business Days prior to the then scheduled Closing Date (but only if the breach or other default occurs or is first discovered by Purchaser after Purchaser has posted any such deposit or purchased such cap/swap); and after Purchaser has recovered all the foregoing neither party shall have any further rights or obligations except for Purchaser’s indemnity obligations hereunder, or (b) to bring a suit for specific performance provided that any suit for specific performance must be brought within 90 days of Seller’s default, to the extent permitted by law, Purchaser waiving the right to bring suit at any later date; provided however, that if the equitable remedy of specific performance is not available due to any intentional action or inaction by or on behalf of Seller or any agent or affiliate thereof, Purchaser may seek any other right or remedy available at law or in equity; provided, however, that in no event shall Seller’s liability exceed $1,000,000.00. Purchaser waives any other rights or remedies with respect to any breach or default actually known to Purchaser prior to Closing. Purchaser agrees not to file a lis pendens or other similar notice against the Property except in connection with the filing of a suit for specific performance.
19
12.3. Purchaser recognizes that if the purchase and sale which is the subject of this Agreement is not consummated because of Purchaser's default, Seller shall be entitled to compensation as a result thereof. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of the detriment, and to avoid this problem, Seller and Purchaser agree that if the purchase and sale which is the subject of this Agreement is not consummated solely as a result of Purchaser's default under this Agreement, which default continues uncured following the fifth day after written notice thereof is given to Purchaser by Seller (except that no notice or cure period shall apply to Purchaser’s obligation to deliver the documents and amounts required under Section 8.2 on or prior to the scheduled Closing Date or otherwise authorize Closing upon satisfaction of the conditions in Section 5.2), Seller shall recover from the Escrow Agent the Xxxxxxx Money as liquidated damages, which amount represents a bona fide good faith estimate of damages that Seller would suffer in such event. Upon Seller's receipt of the Xxxxxxx Money, this Agreement shall be terminated and thereupon the parties shall have no further obligations one to the other under this Agreement. In the event of Seller’s election to recover the Xxxxxxx Money, the parties agree that the sum stated above as liquidated damages shall be the sole and exclusive relief to which Seller might otherwise be entitled, as a result of Purchaser's default under this Agreement, Seller hereby specifically waiving any and all rights which it may have to damages or specific performance as a result of Purchaser's default under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Purchaser shall not be liable for consequential, punitive and/or exemplary damages of any nature whatsoever except due to fraud or gross negligence.
ARTICLE XIII. ESCROW
13.1. The parties hereto have mutually requested that the Escrow Agent act as escrow agent for the purpose of holding the Xxxxxxx Money in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
13.2. The Xxxxxxx Money shall be deposited by the Escrow Agent in an interest bearing account approved by Purchaser.
13.3. The Xxxxxxx Money shall be released or delivered to the party entitled thereto pursuant to this Agreement with reasonable promptness after the Escrow Agent shall have received notice from Seller and Purchaser (except as provided in Section 3.1 above) authorizing release of the Xxxxxxx Money or the occurrence of the Closing, at which time the Xxxxxxx Money shall be paid to Seller and applied to the Purchase Price.
13.4. (a) The Escrow Agent is to be considered as a depository only, shall not be deemed to be a party to any document other than this Agreement, and shall not be responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for the sufficiency, manner of execution, or validity of any written instructions, certificates or any other documents received by it, nor as to the identity, authority or rights of any persons executing the same. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely at all times on instructions given by Seller and/or Purchaser, as the case may be and as required hereunder, without any necessity of verifying the authority therefor.
20
(b) The Escrow Agent shall not at any time be held liable for actions taken or omitted to be taken in good faith and without negligence. Seller and Purchaser agree to save and hold the Escrow Agent harmless and indemnify the Escrow Agent from any loss and from any claims or demands arising out of its actions hereunder other than any claims or demands arising from the Escrow Agent's negligence or willful misconduct.
(c) It is further understood by Seller and Purchaser that if, as a result of any disagreement between them or adverse demands and claims being made by any of them upon the Escrow Agent, or if the Escrow Agent otherwise shall become involved in litigation with respect to this Agreement, the Escrow Agent may deposit the Xxxxxxx Money with a court of competent jurisdiction and/or in accordance with the order of a court of competent jurisdiction and in any such event, Seller and Purchaser agree that they, jointly and severally, are and shall be liable to the Escrow Agent and shall reimburse the Escrow Agent on demand for all costs, expenses and reasonable counsel fees it shall incur or be compelled to pay by reason of any such litigation. Seller and Purchaser agree between themselves that each shall be responsible to advance one-half of all amounts due the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Section 13.4, provided that any such advance by Seller or Purchaser as a result of any dispute or litigation between them shall be without prejudice to its right to recover such amount as damages from the breaching party.
(d) In taking or omitting to take any action whatsoever hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall be protected in relying upon any notice, paper, or other document believed by it to be genuine, or upon evidence deemed by it to be sufficient, and in no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable hereunder for any act performed or omitted to be performed by it hereunder in the absence of negligence or bad faith. The Escrow Agent may consult with counsel in connection with its duties hereunder and shall be fully protected in any act taken, suffered or permitted by it in good faith and without negligence in accordance with the advice of such counsel.
13.5. Upon the satisfaction of the mutual obligations of the parties hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall promptly submit for recording or filing, as applicable, all appropriate instruments delivered to it at the Closing.
13.6. The Escrow Agent shall have no right or obligation to approve any amendment to this Agreement unless such amendment purports to affect the Escrow Agent's rights or obligations hereunder.
13.7. The Escrow Agent hereby agrees to serve as the "real estate reporting person" (as such term is defined in Section 6045(e) of the Code). This Agreement shall constitute a designation agreement, the name and address of the transferor and transferee of the transaction contemplated hereby as well as the name and address of the Escrow Agent appear in Section 14.1 hereof, and Seller, Purchaser and the Escrow Agent agree to retain a copy of this Agreement for a period of four years following the end of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing.
