14. Prorations. The following prorations shall be made between Seller and Buyer on the Close of Escrow, computed as of the Close of Escrow:
14.1 Taxes and Assessments. General and special real and personal property taxes and other charges collected with general and special real and personal property taxes (such as assessments (including the CFD Assessments) levied by any Xxxxx-Xxxx District affecting the Land (including the CFDs)) shall be prorated on the basis that Seller shall be responsible for (a) all such taxes and charges for the fiscal year of the applicable taxing authorities occurring before the Current Tax Period, and (b) that portion of such taxes and charges for the Current Tax Period determined on the basis of the number of days that have elapsed from the first day of the Current Tax Period to, but not including, the Closing Date, whether or not the same shall be payable before the Close of Escrow. If, as of the Close of Escrow, the actual tax bills for the year or years in question are not available and the amount of taxes and charges to be prorated cannot be ascertained, then rates and assessed valuation of the previous year, with known changes, shall be used, and when the actual amount of taxes and charges for the year or years in question shall be determinable, then such taxes and charges shall be re-prorated between the Parties to reflect the actual amount of such taxes and charges.
14.2 Revenues. Rentals, revenues, and other income (if any) from the Land shall be prorated as of the Closing Date to the extent actually collected (with all rentals due on or after the Closing Date being the sole property of Buyer). Delinquent rentals as of the Closing Date shall not be prorated, but when paid shall be the sole property of Buyer. To that end, Seller hereby irrevocably assigns to Buyer, as of the Closing Date, Seller’s entire right, title, and interest in and to such delinquent rentals (including the right to collect the same). With respect to any amounts due under the RMC Lease that are subject to an annual or other periodic reconciliation (including payment of real estate taxes due from the lessee), Seller and Buyer shall cooperate to complete a reconciliation as of the Closing Date. On the Closing Date, Buyer shall receive a credit for the full amount of any security deposits required under the RMC Lease, any prepaid rentals already received by Seller from the lessee under the RMC Lease, any impounds already received by Seller from such lessee attributable to periods after the Closing Date, and any other sums owed by Seller to such lessee for work or disputes that occurred prior to the Closing Date or for work to be performed or allowances to be granted to any such lessee on or after the Closing Date.
14.3 Expenses. The Parties agree that the lessee under the RMC Lease pay all service contracts and utility costs directly, so such sums shall not be prorated at the Close of Escrow.
14.4 Escrow Statement. At least one (1) day before the Close of Escrow, the Parties shall agree upon all of the prorations to be made and submit a statement to Escrow Holder (or sign a statement prepared by Escrow Holder) setting forth such prorations. In the event that any prorations, apportionments, or computations made under this Paragraph 14 shall require final adjustment, then the Parties shall make the appropriate adjustments promptly when

accurate information becomes available and either Party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same. Any corrected adjustment or proration will be paid in cash to the Party entitled thereto.

15.4 Title Policy. Issue the Title Policy to Buyer.

Hazardous Materials at, on, about, under, or within any part of the Land or with respect to any past, present, or future violations of any Applicable Laws, now or hereafter enacted, regulating or governing the use, handling, storage, release, or disposal of Hazardous Materials at, on, about, under, or within any part of the Land, including, without limitation, (a) any and all rights Buyer or such Transferees may now or hereafter have to seek contribution from Seller under Section 113(f)(i) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (42 U.S.C.A. §9613), as the same may be further amended or replaced by any similar law, rule, or regulation, (b) any and all rights Buyer or such Transferees may now or hereafter have against Seller under the Xxxxxxxxx-Xxxxxxx-Xxxxxx Hazardous Substances Account Act (California Health and Safety Code, Section 25300 et seq.), as the same may be further amended or replaced by any similar law, rule, or regulation, (c) any and all Claims, whether known or unknown, now or hereafter existing, under Section 107 of CERCLA (42 U.S.C.A. §9607), with respect to any part of the Land, and (d) any and all Claims regarding Hazardous Materials at, on, about, under, or within any part of the Land, whether known or unknown, based on nuisance, trespass, or any other common law or statutory provisions (provided, however, that the foregoing waiver and release shall not apply to any Claims that may arise as a result of any acts or omissions of any Seller Party after the Closing Date). Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing waiver and release, until the Complete Release Date such waiver and release shall not apply to or cover any Claims arising from any of the following (“Release Exception Claims”): (i) any fraud committed by any Seller Party in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement; (ii) any intentional, reckless, or grossly negligent failure or refusal by any Seller Party to deliver or make available to Buyer any files or documents relating to the Property in Seller’s possession or control that could have a material effect on a reasonably prudent buyer’s decision whether to buy the Property; (iii) any intentional, reckless, or grossly negligent violation of any Applicable Laws committed by any Seller Party with respect to the Property and/or the transactions contemplated in this Agreement; (iv) any intentional, reckless, or grossly negligent act committed by any Seller Party that results in material physical waste to the Land; or (v) any breach of a representation or warranty contained in Paragraph 16 above. If, however, Buyer has actual knowledge as of the Closing Date of the existence of any specific Release Exception Claim and Buyer nonetheless closes the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and acquires the Property, then Seller shall have no liability or obligation with respect to such specific Release Exception Claim, which shall be deemed released by Buyer upon the Close of Escrow.

19.1 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT, BASED ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES NOW EXISTING, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL OR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTABLISH SELLER’S DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES RELATING TO LOST ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES AND ATTORNEYS’ AND CONSULTANTS’ FEES AND EXPENSES) IF (A) SELLER FULLY PERFORMS ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, (B) BUYER DOES NOT ELECT TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 5.3, PARAGRAPH 10.3.1, OR PARAGRAPH 21, AND (C) THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED IN THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT CLOSE AS A RESULT OF A BREACH BY BUYER OF BUYER’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

19.2 SELLER’S OTHER REMEDIES.
19.2.1 NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS PARAGRAPH 19 SHALL SERVE TO WAIVE OR OTHERWISE LIMIT (A) SELLER’S REMEDIES OR DAMAGES FOR CLAIMS AGAINST BUYER WITH RESPECT TO ANY OBLIGATIONS OF BUYER THAT, BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, SURVIVE THE CLOSE OF ESCROW OR ANY TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT BEFORE THE CLOSE OF ESCROW, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, BUYER’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER PARAGRAPH 9 OF THE INSPECTION AGREEMENT, OR (B) SELLER’S RIGHTS TO OBTAIN FROM BUYER ALL COSTS AND EXPENSES OF ENFORCING THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGE PROVISION CONTAINED IN PARAGRAPH 19.1 ABOVE, INCLUDING “LEGAL COSTS” PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH 25 BELOW.

ACCORDINGLY, NOTWITHSTANDING THE PROVISIONS OF PARAGRAPH 19.1 ABOVE, IN ADDITION TO ALL OTHER REMEDIES THAT SELLER MAY HAVE, SELLER MAY BRING AN ACTION IN EQUITY OR OTHERWISE FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE TO ENFORCE COMPLIANCE WITH THE CNDA, PARAGRAPH 11 OF THE INSPECTION AGREEMENT, OR PARAGRAPH 27 BELOW, OR AN INJUNCTION TO ENJOIN THE CONTINUANCE OF ANY SUCH BREACH OR VIOLATION THEREOF.

21. Casualty or Condemnation Before Close of Escrow. Seller shall notify Buyer of any casualty to the Land that occurs before the Close of Escrow or any condemnation proceeding that is commenced before the Close of Escrow promptly after Seller’s receipt of written notice of such casualty or condemnation proceeding. If any such casualty or condemnation proceeding relates to or may result in the loss of more than ten percent (10%) of the Land, Buyer may elect, at its option, either to: (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event all funds deposited into Escrow by Buyer shall be returned to Buyer and neither Party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, or (b) continue this Agreement in effect, in which event Buyer shall be entitled, upon the Close of Escrow, to any compensation, awards, or other payments or relief resulting from such casualty or condemnation proceeding and there shall be no adjustment to the Purchase Price.
22. Buyer’s Insurance Requirements. Prior to the Close of Escrow, Buyer shall maintain at all times the insurance coverages required to be carried pursuant to the Inspection Agreement.

All notices to Seller shall be sent to Seller’s Address with a copy to Seller’s Counsel’s Address. All notices to Buyer shall be sent to Buyer’s Address with a copy to Buyer’s Counsel’s Address. All notices to Escrow Holder shall be sent to Escrow Holder’s Address. All copies of Notices (i.e., those provided to any person or entity other than the intended addressee) shall be given as a courtesy only, and the failure or inability to deliver any courtesy copy of any Notice will not invalidate the Notice given to the intended addressee.
