8. PRORATIONS. The following items will be prorated between Sellers and Buyer at the Closing:
(a) Rent, association fees, assessments from the operation of the Property received by Seller for the calendar month in which the Closing occurs will be prorated.
(b) Rent, assessments and/or association fees which are unpaid or delinquent as of the Closing will not be prorated, but such unpaid or delinquent rent collected after the Closing will be delivered: (i) first, all rent, assessments and/or association fees received by Buyer after the Closing will be applied first to current rents, assessments and/or association fees and then to delinquent rents, assessments and/or association fees in inverse order of maturity; (ii) second, Buyer will deliver to Sellers any such rents, assessments and/or association fees relating to the period prior to the Closing within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of such rent; (iii) Buyer agrees that after the Closing it will use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such amounts, provided, however, that Buyer will have no obligation to institute legal proceedings, including an action for unlawful detainer, against a Tenant owing any such amounts); (iv) if after the expiration of sixty (60) days from the Closing, Buyer has been unsuccessful in collecting delinquent rents and or association fees to which Sellers are entitled from Tenants, then Seller may xxx such Tenants to collect the delinquent rent to which Sellers are entitled, but Seller may not as a part of such lawsuit seek to terminate such Tenant’s lease of the Property or affect such Tenant’s occupancy of the Property; and (v) Sellers retain all rights regarding any former Tenant who is not occupying space at the Property as of the Closing.
(c) All ordinary operating expenses of the Property including, without limitation, utility charges, maintenance, management and other service charges, expenses and charges under the Service Contracts, licenses, permits and all other normal operating charges regarding the Property, will be prorated.
(d) All personal property taxes and other assessments against the Property or any portion of the Property for the tax year during which the Closing occurs will be prorated between Buyer and Sellers, as of the Closing.
(e) All ad valorem taxes levied or assessed against the Property or any portion of the Property for the tax year during which the Closing occurs will be prorated between Buyer and Sellers as of the Closing based on the assessment of such taxes for the year of the Closing, with Sellers being charged for all of same from the beginning of the year through the day immediately preceding the Closing and Buyer being charged for all of same thereafter, including the Closing, through the end of the year. If at the time of Closing, (i) the assessed valuation for the current year has not yet been fixed, taxes will be prorated based upon the assessed valuation for the previous tax year and the current year’s tax rate; (ii) the tax rate for the current year has not yet been fixed, taxes will be prorated based upon the tax rate for the previous tax year and the current year’s assessed valuation; or (iii) the tax rate and the assessed valuation for the current year have not yet been fixed, ad valorem taxes will be prorated based upon the most current tax rate and/or assessed valuation of the Property. Due to the fact that the 2016 ad valorem taxes will not be known at the time of Closing, Sellers agree that in addition to the proration amount to be credited to Buyer at Closing for ad valorem taxes under this subsection, Buyer shall receive an additional credit of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) at Closing. If any portion of the Property has been assessed for ad valorem real estate tax purposes at such rates (by exemption or otherwise) as would cause additional taxes being due with the change in ownership of the Property or a subsequent change in the use of the Property, Buyer agrees to pay all such taxes and to indemnify, defend and hold Sellers harmless against all claims and liability for such taxes. All ad valorem tax prorations made at Closing shall be deemed final and no amount prorated under this subsection (e) shall thereafter be re-prorated or subject to adjustment.
8
If the exact amount of any item to be prorated is not known as of the Closing, the proration will be based upon a reasonable estimate made by Seller. Except for the items set forth in subsection (e) above, as soon after Closing as the exact amount of the item is known, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following Closing, the proration shall be adjusted and cash adjustments shall be made by Buyer and Sellers. Sellers and Buyer agree to cooperate and use their best efforts to make such adjustments and to pay to each other any amounts owed.
For purposes of calculating prorations under this Agreement, Buyer will be deemed to be in ownership of the Property, and, therefore entitled to the income therefrom and responsible for the expenses thereof, for the entire day upon which the Closing occurs. All prorations will be made on the basis of the actual number of days of the month which will have elapsed as of the day of the Closing and based upon the actual number of days in the month and a three hundred sixty-six (366) day calendar year. In the event the ad valorem taxes and other assessments with respect to the Property for the year of Closing based on the purchase of the Property by Buyer, Seller shall not be liable for any resulting increase in the ad valorem taxes or assessments.
9. EVIDENCE OF TITLE. Title as to the units comprising the Property owned by each Seller shall be conveyed from each Seller to Buyer by a Special Warranty Deed in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “B”.
10. FEASIBILITY PERIOD.
(a) Buyer shall have forty-five (45) days from the Effective Date (the “Feasibility Period”) to conduct, at its sole cost and expense, such independent investigations, studies and tests as Buyer deems to be necessary or appropriate concerning Buyer’s proposed ownership, operation, use, development and/or suitability of the Property for Buyer’s intended purposes; provided, however, that in the event of any damage to the Property or any adjoining property as a result of the conduct such inspections, Buyer shall, at its sole cost and expense, immediately restore the Property or any such adjoining property to its condition as existed immediately prior to such damage or destruction, failing which Sellers shall be entitled to undertake and complete such restoration and charge Buyer for the cost thereof.

Buyer may freely consult with any governmental agency concerning the condition of the Property, the project, its entitlements or regulatory terms and conditions of approval.

(b) Buyer shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement in the event that any such inspection is unacceptable to Buyer, in Buyer’s sole discretion, by delivering to Sellers, with a copy to the Escrow Agent, of a written notice of termination on or before 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on or prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period. In the event of such timely termination, the Deposit to the extent then paid shall be returned to Buyer. In the event that Buyer does not timely terminate this Agreement as herein provided, then, it shall be conclusively presumed that Buyer has approved and accepted the Property and Buyer shall be obligated to immediately pay to escrow agent the Additional Deposit as provided in clause (b) of Section 2 hereof, and all Deposits shall thereupon be non-refundable to Buyer, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and in the event of Sellers’ default as herein provided.

FIRTPA
Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. To inform the transferee that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by ________________ (“Transferor”), the undersigned hereby certifies the following:
1.
|
Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations);
|
2.
|
Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in Treasury Regulations § 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii);
|
3.
|
Transferor 's U.S. employer identification number is ________________; and
|
4.
|
Transferor 's office address is ________________________________.
|
Transferor understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.
Under penalties of perjury I declare that I have examined this certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct, and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of Transferor.
