If Buyer gives such notice of termination within the Inspection Period, this Agreement shall terminate and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and thereupon neither party shall have any further rights or obligations to the other hereunder except as expressly provided herein. If Buyer shall fail to timely notify Seller in writing of its election to terminate this Agreement on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period, time being of the essence, the termination right described in this Section 3.2 shall be immediately null and void and of no further force or effect and Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the financial and physical condition of the Property and the Deposit shall be deemed non-refundable, except
6
in the event of Seller’s default hereunder. Buyer’s failure to provide such notice on or before the end of the Inspection Period shall constitute Buyer’s waiver of the herein-described termination right.
3.3 Financing Period. It is expressly understood that this Agreement is subject to the Buyer’s ability to obtain, at its sole cost and expense, acceptable financing for the acquisition of the Property (the “Loan”). From the Effective Date and continuing for a period of thirty (30) days (the “Financing Period”), Buyer shall seek to obtain, at its sole cost and expense, the Loan.

If Buyer shall fail to timely notify Seller in writing of its election to terminate this Agreement on or before the expiration of the Financing Period, as the same may be extended, time being of the essence, the termination right described in this Section 3.3 shall be immediately null and void and of no further force or effect and the whole Deposit shall be deemed non-refundable except in the event of Seller’s default hereunder. Buyer’s failure to provide such notice on or before the end of the Financing Period, as the same may be extended, shall constitute Buyer’s waiver of the herein-described termination right.

If the Closing shall occur before the actual Taxes for the year of Closing are known, the apportionment of Taxes shall be upon the basis of the latest available tax rates and assessed value of the Property, provided that, if the Taxes for the year of Closing are thereafter determined to be more or less than the Taxes for the preceding year (after any appeal of the assessed valuation thereof is concluded), Seller and Buyer promptly (but no later than the date that is thirty (30) days from and after the date that the final invoices for taxes for the Property for the year in which the Closing occurs are issued by the applicable taxing authority, except in the case of an ongoing tax protest) shall adjust the proration of such Taxes, and Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, shall pay to the other any amount required as a result of such adjustment. Further, if Seller undertakes a tax protest with respect to all or any portion of the Taxes for the year in which Closing occurs or any previous year, any refund relating to any previous year shall be the property of Seller, and any refund relating to the year in which Closing occurs shall be prorated as of the Apportionment Date.

If such readings are not obtainable, then, until such time as readings are obtained, charges for all Utilities for which readings were not obtained shall be prorated as of the Apportionment Date based upon the per diem rate obtained by using the last period and bills for such Utilities that are available. Upon the taking of a subsequent actual reading, such apportionment shall be adjusted to reflect the actual per diem rate for the billing period in which the date of Closing falls, and Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, shall promptly deliver to the other the amount determined to be due upon such adjustment. |
(e) | Room charges as to the Hotel for the night commencing on the Apportionment Date and ending on the morning of the date of Closing shall be split equally between the parties. |
(f) | Seller shall receive full reimbursement from Buyer at Closing for each of the following items: |

(ii) | transferable deposits with companies providing Utilities, if any, to the extent the rights to such transferable deposits are assigned by Seller to Buyer at Closing. |
(g) | Amounts prepaid or payable under any Service Contracts. |

Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate after the Closing Date to undertake all accountings and to make available all books, records, information and financial statements to facilitate proper collection and payment of all Accounts Receivable. If a party shall collect Accounts Receivable due and owing to the other party, such party will immediately pay over such Accounts Receivable to the other party.
4.7 Operating Expenses. All operating expenses, costs and charges with respect to the Hotel, excluding real estate taxes and assessments ("Operating Expenses") shall be apportioned and adjusted as of the Closing Date. Seller shall be responsible for all Operating Expenses which have accrued or become due prior to the Closing Date, and Buyer shall be responsible for all Operating Expenses which have accrued on and subsequent to the Closing Date. Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate after the Closing Date to undertake all accountings and to make available all books, records, information and financial statements to ensure proper allocation and payment of Operating Expenses. All Operating Expenses shall be read and finalized, if reasonably possible, at the Closing Date. Seller and Buyer agree to notify all payees of the closing as soon as possible after the Closing Date. With respect to any Operating Expenses which are not determined as of the Date of Closing, as soon as the exact amount of such charges or expenses can be determined, Seller and Buyer, if appropriate, shall readjust the amount of such Operating Expenses to be paid by each party with the result that Seller shall pay for those expenses and charges attributable to Seller, and Buyer shall pay for those expenses and charges attributable to Buyer.
