(b) The amount of all unpaid water, sewer and other utility bills for each Property, and all other operating and other expenses incurred with respect to each Property relating to the period prior to the Closing Date, shall be paid by Seller on or prior to the Closing Date or, if not paid, as soon as possible after Closing following receipt of an invoice therefor.  Seller shall retain the right to the refund of utility charges attributable to periods prior to the Closing Date.

(c) Charges under Assumed Property Contracts (as defined in Section 7.1(d) below) attributable to the period prior to the Closing Date shall be paid by the relevant Operating Company prior to the Closing Date, or, if not paid, the amount due shall be credited to Purchaser as of the Closing Date.  All charges under the Non-Assumed Property Contracts (as defined in Section 7.1(d) below) shall be paid by Seller, whether such charges are attributable to the period prior to the Closing Date or the period after the Closing Date.

(e) All of the items referenced in subsection (d) above which are due and payable prior to the Closing Date, but which have not been collected by Seller, shall be pro-rated as follows at settlement: Current rental income shall be pro-rated as of the

Closing Date.  All accounts not yet paid and delinquent 30 days or less shall be considered paid for pro-ration calculations.  All accounts not yet paid and delinquent 31 days or more shall become the property of Purchaser with no pro-ration.  All prepaid rents shall be transferred to Purchaser or retained by the relevant Operating Company.  All tenant security deposits shall be transferred to Purchaser or retained by the relevant Operating Company.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall pay to Seller all back rental amounts covering the term of Seller's ownership received by Purchaser post-Closing.

(f) Intentionally Omitted.

(g) Except for capital projects commenced more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, routine and customary maintenance and repair work at the Properties, and routine purchases of supplies and materials used in the ordinary course of ownership and operation of the Properties, an amount equal to all expenses of the Properties which were paid prior to the Closing Date and for which the Operating Companies will benefit after the Closing Date including, without limitation, pre-paid taxes and assessments (if applicable), annual license and permit fees and pre-paid amounts (if any) under the Assumed Property Contracts, shall be disbursed or credited to Seller at the Closing, and an amount equal to all expenses of the Properties which were incurred prior to the Closing Date and are due or paid after the Closing Date shall be credited to Purchaser at the Closing and Purchaser shall cause the Operating Companies to pay all such expenses.

(h) Purchaser shall be credited with the amount or amounts, if any, payable in accordance with the pre-closing operating covenants contained herein in connection with Capital Projects (as defined herein).

(i) All costs and expenses incurred by Seller or any Operating Company prior to the Closing Date in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, attorneys' and other professional fees and the costs and expenses payable by Seller or any Operating Company hereunder, shall be paid by Seller and shall not be charged to, or the responsibility of any Operating Company or Purchaser.

This Section 6.1 shall survive Closing.

6.2 If, within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing, either Purchaser or Seller discovers any inaccuracies or errors in the pro-rations or adjustments done at Closing pursuant to Section 6.1, such party shall notify the other party of such inaccuracy or error by written notice including reasonable detail of the appropriate calculation.  In such event, the parties shall attempt, in good faith, to resolve any issues with respect to the pro-rations and adjustments done at Closing pursuant to Section 6.1.  After the parties resolve any such issues or, in the event the parties are

unable to resolve such issues, a final judgment has been rendered with respect to such matter without timely appeal or after all appeals timely made are fully resolved, Purchaser and Seller shall promptly take all action and pay all sums necessary so that such pro-rations and adjustments completed pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof shall be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the obligations of either party to pay any such amount shall survive the Closing Date. Seller and Purchaser further acknowledge and agree that if neither party has identified an inaccuracy or error in the pro-rations or adjustments completed pursuant to Section 6.1 within such one hundred eighty (180) days, the obligation to complete a post-closing adjustment shall be deemed null and void and of no further force and effect; provided, however, that the 180-day period in this Section 6.2 shall not apply to the re-proration of Current Taxes under Section 6.1(a), which will be effected promptly after the issuance of the final tax bills for the Current Taxes.

This Section 6.2 shall survive Closing.
