- 14 -

Seller shall be responsible for all amounts payable under the PILOT Agreement.
6.3.2Proration of Real Estate Taxes. The proration of the real estate taxes actually due and payable during the Closing Tax Year shall be calculated as follows:

(b)Buyer shall be responsible for that portion of such taxes equal to (i) the total such taxes due and payable during the Closing Tax Year, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in the Closing Tax Year subsequent to and including the Closing Date, and the denominator of which shall be 365.
6.3.3Special Assessments. Seller shall pay all installments of special assessments due prior to the Closing Date and Buyer shall pay all installments of special assessments due and payable on and after the Closing Date; provided, however, that Seller shall not be required by the foregoing to pay any installments of special assessments which have not been confirmed or which relate to projects that have not been completed on the date hereof.
6.3.4Tenant Reimbursements. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this Article 6, Seller shall have no obligation to pay (and Buyer shall not receive a credit at Closing for) any real estate or personal property taxes or special assessments to the extent that Buyer is entitled after Closing to reimbursement of taxes and assessments, or the recovery of any increase in taxes and assessments, from the tenants under the Leases, regardless of whether Buyer actually collects such reimbursement or increased taxes and assessments from such tenants, it being understood and agreed by Buyer and Seller that (a) as between Buyer and Seller, Buyer shall be responsible for payment of all of such real estate or personal property taxes and assessments, and (b) the burden of collecting such reimbursements shall be solely on Buyer. Furthermore, Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any provision in any of the Leases to the contrary, the tax reimbursement payments to be paid by tenants of the Property during the Closing Tax Year are to be applied to pay the real estate taxes due and payable during the Closing Tax Year and, therefore, Buyer shall not receive a credit for any

To the extent that the amount of actual consumption of any utility services is not determined prior to the Closing Date, a proration shall be made at Closing based on the last available reading and post-closing adjustments between Buyer and Seller shall be made within twenty (20) days of the date that actual consumption for such pre-closing period is determined, which obligation shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein. Seller shall not assign to Buyer any deposits which Seller has with any of the utility services or companies servicing the Property. Buyer shall arrange with such services and companies to have accounts opened in Buyer's name beginning at 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this section, Seller shall have no obligation to pay (and Buyer shall not receive a credit at Closing for) any operating expenses to the extent that Buyer is entitled after Closing to reimbursement of operating expenses, or the recovery of any increase in operating expenses, from the tenants under the Leases, regardless of whether Buyer actually collects such reimbursement or increased operating expenses from such tenants, it being understood and agreed by Buyer and Seller that (a) as between Buyer and Seller, Buyer shall be responsible for payment of all of such operating expenses, and (b) the burden of collecting such reimbursements shall be solely on Buyer.

The obligations of the parties under this Section 6.5 shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or any earlier termination of this Agreement.

6.7Apportionment Credit. In the event the apportionments to be made at the Closing result in a credit balance (a) to Buyer, such sum shall be paid at the Closing by giving Buyer a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of such credit balance, or (b) to Seller, Buyer shall pay the amount thereof to Seller at the Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts to be designated by Seller for the payment of the Purchase Price.
6.8Delayed Adjustment; Delivery of Operating and Other Statements. If at any time following the Closing Date, the amount of an item listed in any section of this Article 6 shall prove to be incorrect (whether as a result of an error in calculation or a lack of complete and accurate information as of the Closing), the party in whose favor the error was made shall promptly pay to the other party the sum necessary to correct such error upon receipt of proof of such error, provided that such proof is delivered to the party from whom payment is requested on or before one (1) year after Closing (such period being referred to herein as the “Post Closing Adjustment Period”).

7.1Closing Date. Subject to Seller's right to extend the Closing as provided in this Agreement, Closing shall occur on the Closing Date. The parties shall endeavor to conduct an escrow-style closing through the Title Company (or such other party selected by Buyer and Seller) so that it will not be necessary for any party to attend the Closing. If, however, either Buyer or Seller determines in good faith that such an escrow Closing is not practical, Buyer and Seller shall conduct a “pre-closing” at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the last Business Day prior to the Closing Date at the offices of Seller's attorney with title transfer and payment of the Purchase Price to be completed on the Closing Date as set forth in Section 7.2.

In the event that any of Seller's Warranties are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect as a result of a negligent
- 25 -
misrepresentation made by Seller and Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement, then Buyer may, in addition to all other remedies available to Buyer hereunder, recover from Seller at actual third party costs incurred by Buyer in the performance of Buyer's Due Diligence up to the point of Buyer's discovery of the negligent misrepresentation in an amount not to exceed $250,000.00 in the aggregate.

11.1To Seller's Obligations. If, on or before the Closing Date, (i) Buyer is in default of any of its obligations hereunder, or (ii) any of Buyer's representations or warranties are untrue in any material respect in the aggregate, or (iii) the Closing otherwise fails to occur by reason of Buyer's failure or refusal to perform its obligations hereunder in a prompt and timely manner, and such circumstance in (i), (ii) or (iii) continues for five (5) Business Days after written notice from Seller to Buyer, which written notice shall detail such default, untruth or failure, as applicable, then Seller may elect to (a) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer, in which event neither party to this Agreement shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than any arising under any section herein which expressly provides that it
- 29 -
survives the termination of this Agreement; or (b) waive the condition and proceed to close the Transaction. If this Agreement is so terminated, the parties acknowledge that it is impossible to compute exactly the damages which would accrue to Seller. The parties have taken these facts into account in setting the amount of the Deposit and hereby agree that: (a) such amount is the pre-estimate of such damages which would accrue to Seller; (b) such amount represents damages and not any penalty against Buyer; and (c) if this Agreement shall be terminated by Seller pursuant to this Section 11.1, the Deposit (to the extent previously deposited by Buyer with Escrow Agent) shall be paid to Seller and shall be Seller's full and liquidated damages in lieu of all other rights and remedies which Seller may have against Buyer at law or in equity, provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be liable to Seller for the full amount of any damages arising out of or in connection with Buyer's indemnification obligations contained in Sections 9.3.5 and 10.1.2.

If, at the Closing, (i) Seller is in default of any of its obligations hereunder, or (ii) any of Seller's representations or warranties are untrue in any material respect in the aggregate, or (iii) the Closing otherwise fails to occur by reason of Seller's failure or refusal to perform its obligations hereunder in a prompt and timely manner, and such circumstance in (i), (ii) or (iii) continues for five (5) days after written notice from Buyer to Seller, which written notice shall detail such default, untruth or failure, as applicable, Buyer shall have the right, to elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to (a) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, promptly after which the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer in which event neither party to this Agreement shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than any arising under any section herein which expressly provides that it survives the termination of this Agreement, or (b) waive the condition and proceed to close the Transaction, or (c) seek specific performance of this Agreement by Seller. As a condition precedent to Buyer exercising any right it may have to bring an action for specific performance hereunder, Buyer must commence such an action within sixty (60) days after Borrower has actual notice of the occurrence of Seller's default. Buyer agrees that its failure to timely commence such an action for specific performance within such sixty (60) day period shall be deemed a waiver by it of its right to commence an action for specific performance as well as a waiver by it of any right it may have to file or record a notice of lis pendens or notice of pendency of action or similar notice against any portion of the Property.
ARTICLE 12 - CONDEMNATION/CASUALTY

If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 12.1, the Deposit shall
- 30 -
be returned to Buyer and, thereafter, this Agreement shall terminate and neither party to this Agreement shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than any arising under any section herein which expressly provides that it shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
12.2Allocation of Proceeds and Awards.

(b)to the extent that such award or proceeds have not been paid to Seller prior to Closing, (i) if a casualty has occurred and such casualty is an insured casualty, Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing equal to Seller's deductible with respect to such casualty, less an amount equal to the Seller-Allocated Amounts, and (ii) Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing (without recourse to Seller) the rights of Seller to, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and retain, such awards or proceeds; provided, however, that within one (1) Business Day after receipt of such awards or proceeds, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Seller-Allocated Amounts not previously paid to Seller.
