If this Agreement is terminated, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be promptly returned to Buyer and the parties shall have no further obligations under this Agreement except for those which specifically survive termination.
9. Prorations and Adjustments to Purchase PriceThe following prorations and adjustments shall be made between Buyer and Seller at Closing, or thereafter if Buyer and Seller shall agree:
(a) At Closing, Escrow Holder shall prorate real estate taxes and general assessments which are a lien but not yet due and payable based on the most recent tax duplicate (except that if there is or has been any reduction or abatement of taxes by virtue of the nature of the use of the Property or by virtue of any exception or reduction in favor of Seller, which reduction or abatement will no longer apply to the Property if Buyer acquires same or changes the use of the Property, then the proration shall be based on the full amount of such taxes without reduction or abatement and Seller shall also be charged with any “recaptured” taxes.) All special assessments will be paid in full at Closing. When the actual amount of such taxes becomes known, the Escrow Holder shall adjust the actual tax proration. The Escrow Holder shall retain in escrow an amount equal to the current tax rate times the difference between [thirty-five percent (35%)] of the Purchase Price and the assessed tax value of the Property, as shown on the last available County Treasurer’s tax duplicate pending such adjustment to the tax proration. All assessments, reassessed assessments and/or respread taxes upon the Property shall be paid in full out of Seller’s funds at Closing. The balance of any funds held in escrow on account of the tax proration made pursuant to this paragraph, after the payment of the tax installment for which the taxes were escrowed, shall be returned to Seller.
(b) All utility charges for the Properties (including, without limitation, telephone, water, storm and sanitary sewer, electricity, gas, garbage and waste removal) shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, transfer fees required with respect to any such utility shall be paid by or charged to Buyer, and Seller shall be credited with any deposits transferred to the account of Buyer; provided, however, that at either party’s election any one or more of such utility accounts shall be closed as of the Closing Date, in which event Seller shall be liable and responsible for all charges for service through the Closing Date and shall be entitled to all deposits theretofore made by Seller with respect to such utility, and Buyer shall be responsible for reopening and reinstituting such service in Buyer’s name, and shall be responsible for any fees, charges and deposits required in connection with such new account. If current, accurate information for prorating such utility charges is not available on the date of Closing, utility prorations made at Closing shall be estimated based on the best available information. After Closing and at such time that accurate information is available, Seller shall re-prorate the utility charges and shall notify Buyer in writing of the new proration. If the new utility proration reveals that monies are due either to or from one of the parties, the party owing the money shall pay such money to the other party within five (5) days of the date of Seller’s notice of the accurate utility proration.
(c) All rents (including base rent, percentage rent and all other rentals), payments for taxes, payments for insurance, payments for common area maintenance charges, payments for operating expenses and other payments on account of financial obligations of tenants under the Existing Leases and the New Leases (herein called the “Tenant Financial Obligations”), which have actually been paid as of the Closing Date shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. In the event that, at the time of Closing, there are any past due or delinquent Tenant Financial Obligations, Buyer shall use its reasonable efforts to collect such past due of delinquent Tenant Financial Obligations. Seller shall also have the right to make such additional collection efforts as Seller shall deem appropriate (but may not evict any tenant, cause any tenant to become insolvent, seek protection under, or be forced into, a bankruptcy or insolvency or otherwise seek to terminate any Leases. After Closing, (a) all monies received by Seller from or on behalf of any tenant owing delinquent Tenant Financial Obligations as a result of Seller’s collection efforts shall be delivered to Buyer for application in accordance with this Section 9(c); and (b) all monies received by Buyer from or on behalf of any tenant owing delinquent Tenant Financial Obligations as a result of Buyer’s collection efforts or from Seller pursuant to subsection (a) above shall be applied and paid in the following order of priority: first, to Seller for delinquent or due but unpaid Tenant Financial Obligations applicable to periods prior to the Closing Date.; and second, to Buyer for Tenant Financial Obligations owing to Buyer for periods from and after the Closing Date. In the event that any Tenant Financial Obligations paid by tenants under the Existing Leases and the New Leases shall be based upon estimates of actual amounts due and are subject to subsequent adjustment with the tenant, Seller and Buyer shall make between themselves any equitable adjustment required by reason of any such subsequent adjustment with the tenant at the time of such subsequent adjustment. In the event that any Tenant Financial Obligations payable by tenants under the Existing Leases or New Leases shall be payable after Closing for periods prior to Closing, Seller and Buyer shall make between themselves any equitable adjustment required by reason of such payments at the time of actual payment. Further, in the event that, subsequent to Closing, Seller receives any payments of Tenant Financial Obligations due from tenants under Existing Leases or New Leases for periods after Closing, Seller shall properly endorse such payments to Buyer, and shall promptly forward such payments to Buyer.
(d) Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of all, if any, refundable security deposits and other refundable deposits held by Seller which, as of the Closing Date, have not been applied or expended for their intended purposes, and Seller shall retain such funds free and clear of any and all claims on the part of tenants. Buyer shall be responsible for maintaining as security deposits and other deposits the aggregate amount so credited to Buyer in accordance with the provisions of the Existing Leases and the New Leases relevant thereto. In the event that any security deposits are in the form of letters of credit or other financial instruments (the “Non-Cash Security Deposits”), Seller will, at Closing cause Buyer to be named as beneficiary under the Non-Cash Security Deposits. Buyer will not receive a credit against the Purchase Price for such security deposits. In the event that the Buyer cannot be named the beneficiary under the Non-Cash Security Deposits as of the Closing, an escrow shall be established at Closing in an amount equal to all Non-Cash Security Deposits under which Buyer is not the beneficiary as of the Closing.
(e) All amounts payable under any of the Service Agreements being assumed by Buyer shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.
(f) Any other items which are customarily prorated in connection with the purchase and sale of real estate in the State of Ohio similar to the Properties shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 9(a), in the event that the amount of any item to be prorated is not determinable at the time of Closing, such proration shall be made on the basis of the best available information, and the parties shall re-prorate such item promptly upon receipt of the applicable bills therefor and shall make between themselves any equitable adjustment required by reason of any difference between the estimated amount used as a basis for the proration at Closing and the actual amount subject to proration. The fact that an item has not been prorated shall be noted on the Closing Statement and information with regard to the availability of the information and how the re-proration is to be made will be described on the Closing Statement. The re-proration shall be completed on or before sixty (60) days after Closing, unless the information necessary for the re-proration is not available at that time. In the event any prorated item is due and payable at the time of Closing, the same shall be paid at Closing. If any prorated item is not paid at Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer the bills therefor promptly upon receipt thereof and Buyer shall be responsible for the payment in full thereof within the time fixed for payment thereof and before the same shall become delinquent. In making the prorations required by this paragraph 6, the economic burdens and benefits of ownership of the Properties for the Closing Date shall be allocated to Buyer.

13. Remedies(a) If the purchase and sale of the Properties contemplated hereby is not consummated in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement due to circumstances or conditions which constitute a default by Buyer under this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement and recover the Xxxxxxx Money as liquidated damages for such default, and not as a penalty or forfeiture, in satisfaction of claims against Buyer hereunder, and Seller agrees that this shall be Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy for any such default by Buyer. Seller and Buyer agree that it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to fix the actual damages suffered by Seller as a result of Buyer’s failure to complete the purchase of the Properties pursuant to this Agreement. The parties further agree that under the circumstances existing as of the date hereof, the Xxxxxxx Money as liquidated damages represents a reasonable estimate of the damages which Seller would incur as a result of such failure.
(b) If the purchase and sale of the Properties contemplated hereby is not consummated in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement due to circumstances or conditions which constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement, Buyer may elect one of the following remedies: (i) specific performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder, it being acknowledged that the Properties are unique and that monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy; or (ii) to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller written notice of such election prior to or at Closing and recover the Xxxxxxx Money, and Seller shall, promptly following Buyer’s demand tendered in reasonable detail, accompanied by appropriate and reasonable backup documentation to Seller within thirty (30) days after the termination, reimburse Buyer for all of Buyer’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the costs of title, survey, reports, studies, third-party consultants, lender charges and commitment fees, travel expenses, and reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred in this transaction (provided, however, in no event shall Seller reimburse Buyer for costs and expenses in excess of $50,000), and thereafter all rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall expire and this Agreement shall become null and void. The inability of Seller to convey good and marketable fee simple title to the Properties on the Closing Date shall not constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement unless such inability is caused by a defect in Seller’s title to the Properties which is not a Permitted Exception under this Agreement, which arises subsequent to the date of Seller’s execution of this Agreement, and which arises solely by reason of an affirmative act of Seller. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, Seller shall have no other liability to Buyer under this Agreement.
14. Damage or Destruction(a) If any portion of any of the Properties is damaged or destroyed by casualty prior to Closing, Seller shall give Buyer prompt written notice thereof. If damage or destruction by casualty in an amount which exceeds $200,000 to repair occurs at any one of the Properties or damage or destruction by casualty in an amount exceeding $1,000,000 in the aggregate at any or all of the Properties occurs prior to Closing, Buyer shall have the right, at Buyer’s option, to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller on or before the date ten (10) days after the date upon which Seller gives Buyer written notice of such casualty, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money shall be refunded to Buyer promptly upon request, all rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall expire, and this Agreement shall become null and void. In the event of lesser damage or destruction, Buyer shall have no right to terminate this Agreement by reason of such damage or destruction.
(b) If any portion of the Properties is damaged or destroyed by casualty prior to Closing and the purchase and sale of the Properties contemplated by this Agreement is thereafter actually consummated, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the estimate of the cost of reconstruction as reasonably determined by Buyer and Seller.

“Prohibited Competitive Services” are those services described on Exhibit E attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Activities and/or opportunities relating to the development ownership operation and/or management of hospitals, acute care facilities, outpatient clinics or ambulatory centers will be considered “directly competitive” with Seller’s business. A Disqualified Person shall specifically inc1ude, but not be limited to, any entity owned by, related to or affiliated with Lima Memorial Health System or it’s successors. Buyer shall take all necessary actions to ensure that any Related Parties to whom such documents items or information are furnished not make the same available or disclose the contents thereof to any person. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, Buyer shall immediately return to Seller substantially all (using Buyer’s best efforts) documents plans and other items furnished to Buyer or any Related Parties pursuant to this subparagraph (c) without retaining copies thereof.

In addition each party agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any and all other claims demands or the costs and expense thereof including reasonable attorney’s fees arising out of any brokerage commission fee or other compensation due or alleged to be due in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement based on an agreement alleged to have been made or other action alleged to have been taken by the indemnifying party.
