RECITALS
A. Properties. Seller, or one or more wholly-owned subsidiaries controlled by Seller, owns eighty-nine (89) certain real properties, together with all improvements located thereon and appurtenances thereunto belonging, which real properties are identified on the “Property List,” attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit “A.” The terms “Property” and “Properties” as used in this Agreement shall mean certain or all (as the context may require) of the real properties identified on the Property List.
B. Purchase and Sale. Seller desires to sell all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Properties upon the terms and conditions set forth below. Buyer desires to purchase all of Seller’s right, title, and interest in and to the Properties upon the terms and conditions set forth below.
C. Leasehold Interest. Concurrently with the Closing (as defined in Section 8), Buyer, as landlord, shall lease the Properties to Seller, as tenant, pursuant to a certain Land and Building Lease Agreement (the “Lease”), substantially in the form of Exhibit “B,” attached hereto and incorporated hereby.
1. PURCHASE PRICE
In consideration of the covenants contained in this Agreement, Seller shall sell and Buyer shall purchase the Properties for a total purchase price (“Purchase Price”) equal to: (i) the aggregate “Sale Price” of the Properties (as shown on the Property List) plus (ii) Closing Costs (as such term is defined in Section 9.3).

Any taxes or other amounts which cannot be ascertained with certainty as of the Closing shall be prorated on the basis of the parties’ reasonable estimates of such amount(s) and shall be the subject of a final proration thirty (30) days after the Closing or as soon thereafter as the precise amounts can be ascertained.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, monthly rent payable by the “Tenant” under the Lease shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days in the month in which the Closing occurs, and shall be paid by Seller at the Closing for the period commencing on the Closing and ending on the last day of the month in which the Closing occurs. In addition, if the Closing occurs on or after the twenty-fifth (25th) day of the month, Seller also shall pay the monthly rent payable by Tenant under the Lease for the immediately succeeding calendar month.
9.2 Payment of Adjustments to Proration
Either party owing the other party a sum of money based on adjustments made to prorations after the Closing shall promptly pay that sum to the other party, together with interest thereon at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum to the date of payment if payment is not made within ten (10) days after mutual agreement of the amount due.
