PRORATION, FEES, COSTS AND ADJUSTMENTS

9.1 Prorations. Subject to the terms of this Section 9.1, at or prior to the Closing, the parties shall prorate, as of 11:59 p.m. on the date immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Prorations Time”), all income and expenses with respect to the Property and payable to or by the LLC, including, without limitation: (i) all real property taxes on the basis of the fiscal period for which assessed (if the Closing shall occur before the tax rate is fixed, the apportionment of taxes shall be based on the tax rate for the preceding period applied to the latest assessed valuation); (ii) rents and other tenant payments and tenant reimbursement, if any, received under the Leases; (iii) charges for water, sewer, electricity, gas, fuel, steam, vault taxes and other utility charges (other than those charges required to be paid directly to the utility company by Tenant) all of which shall be read promptly before the Closing; (iv) periodic fees for licenses, permits or other authorizations with respect to the Property; and (v) all other items customarily prorated in connection with transactions of the type contemplated by this Agreement. A further proration shall be made between the parties when the tax xxxx for the tax year in which the Closing occurs becomes available. In conjunction with such prorations, Seller will assign to Purchaser its share of all utility deposits which are assignable (and Seller shall be credited with such amounts). In connection with the calculation of the Purchase Price under Section 2.1 hereof, it is anticipated that the items prorated hereunder will be adjusted on an aggregate basis against the net proceeds of the hypothetical sale of the Property for $362,000,000. Accordingly, for purposes of adjusting the Purchase Price between Purchaser, in its capacity as purchaser of Seller’s LLC Interest, and Seller, in its capacity as seller of Seller’s LLC Interest, the Seller shall bear 66²/3% of the amounts debited hereunder, and shall receive 66²/3% of the amounts credited hereunder, for the

items of income and expenses prorated or adjusted hereunder for periods on or before the Proration Time, and Purchaser shall bear 66²/3% of the amount debited hereunder, and shall receive 66²/3% of the amounts credited hereunder for the items of income and expense prorated or adjusted hereunder for periods after the Prorations Time.

9.1.1 Leasing Costs. Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of 66²/3% of any unpaid tenant inducements (including, but not limited to, tenant allowances, free rent, rent concessions and landlord construction costs) due in the 2002 calendar year which were contracted for prior to April 15, 2002 but which remain unpaid as of the Closing Date.

9.1.2 Net Equity Adjustment. “Net Equity Amount” means the sum, as of the Prorations Time, of all LLC cash, short-term investments, other cash equivalents (including deposits), prepaid expenses with respect to the items customarily prorated in sales of shopping centers, other items comprising working capital and any other assets and property which are not included in the Property and which are customarily prorated in sales of shopping centers, minus amounts accrued but unpaid on existing contracts which are customarily prorated in sales of shopping centers. An amount equal to 66²/3% of the Net Equity Amount shall be added to the Purchase Price as a Net Equity Adjustment if the Net Equity Amount is a positive number or deducted from the Purchaser Price as a Net Equity Adjustment if the Net Equity Amount is a negative number.

9.1.3 Rent. Basic rents, percentage rents, parking revenue, license fees and any and all other revenues of the LLC and payments or reimbursements for taxes, utilities and operating expenses and all other charges or reimbursables and so-called CAM charges as and when collected under the Leases including without limitation charges for any special services provided to any Tenant, overtime HVAC or special cleaning (collectively, the “Rents”) shall be prorated. All Rents collected after the Closing under the Leases shall be applied, on a Lease by Lease basis, first, to satisfy obligations attributable to the payment period in which the Closing occurs, second, for Rent up to one (1) month in arrears, third, in payment of all current Rents due and payable for the period after the Closing, fourth, after Rents for all current periods have been satisfied in full, to payment of all other Rents in arrears for the periods prior to the month of and month before the month in which the Closing occurs. If at the time of Closing (as reflected in a Schedule to be delivered or caused to be delivered by Purchaser at Closing of all amounts due and payable by any Tenant for the period prior to Closing but uncollected as of Closing, whether or not past due) or thereafter there are Rents owed by Tenants for arrears, then Purchaser will make commercially reasonable efforts, without suit, to collect (or cause the LLC to collect) the same 66²/3% of which, net of 66²/3% of reasonable collection expenses, shall be for the account of Seller) and Seller’s share of any such Rents, if received, will be remitted by Purchaser (or Purchaser will cause the LLC to remit) to Seller within 15 days of receipt. Seller expressly agrees that if Seller receives any Rents directly from Tenants after the Closing Date, Seller shall remit same to the LLC within 15 days after receipt thereof and Purchaser shall deliver to Seller (or shall cause the LLC to deliver to Seller) the amount thereof, if any, to which Seller is entitled pursuant to the terms hereof within 15 days after receipt thereof. An amount equal to 66²/3% of all

prepaid Rents and charges as of the Closing for the period following the Closing shall be deducted from the Purchase Price. Rents in the nature of percentage rents for all Leases for the current lease year under each Lease shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser as follows: The Schedule of Rents (which shall be delivered by Purchaser to Seller with the closing statement) shall include budgeted percentage rents for all Leases for the current lease year under each Lease, which budgeted amounts shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser at the Closing in accordance herewith. Seller shall receive as an addition to the Purchaser Price, calculated on a Lease by Lease basis, 66²/3% of a fraction of the percentage rent for the current lease year for each Lease which includes the Prorations Time under the particular Lease, the numerator of which fraction equals the number of Lease year days through the Prorations Time and the denominator of which fraction equals 365. If and to the extent payments on account of percentage rent under any Lease have been paid prior to the Prorations Time and/or have been the subject of apportionments based on budgeted amounts in the Schedule of Rents, then Seller shall be entitled to an addition to the Purchase Price equal to 66²/3% of the amount by which such fractions of the percentage rent finally ascertained exceeds such prepaid and/or budgeted amount or Purchaser shall be entitled to a rebate or reduction in the Purchase Price equal to 66²/3% of the amount by which such fraction of the percentage rent finally ascertained is less than such prepaid and/or budgeted amount, all to the end that when percentage rents are finally ascertained under the Leases the correct amounts shall be credited to each of the parties hereunder.

9.1.4 Closing Statement. The prorations statement prepared by Purchaser and approved by Seller is attached hereto as Exhibit C. Any errors in the calculation of apportionments shall be corrected or adjusted as soon as practicable (but not more often than monthly) after the Closing Date. If it is impracticable to apportion certain items hereunder on the Closing Date, such items shall be apportioned and paid as soon as practicable thereafter. Purchaser agrees to take all commercially reasonable actions after Closing in a timely manner in order to make the adjustments and prorations provided for hereunder, including, without limitation, xxxxxxxx to Tenants. The provisions of this Section 9.1 shall survive Closing until July 31, 2003 (the “Outside Prorations Date”) and the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither party shall have any rights or obligations with respect to Section 9.1 from and after the Outside Prorations Date.
