Title and escrow cancellation costs shall be paid by Seller and Buyer as provided in Section 15.3.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not be obligated to agree to any modifications to the Loan Documents that would (i) increase the monetary obligations of the borrower or the guarantor thereunder, (ii) increase the non-monetary obligations of the borrower or the guarantor thereunder by more than a de minimis extent, (iii) increase any escrows or reserves thereunder, (iv) accelerate or extend the maturity dates of the Assumed Loans, or (v) revise any of the prepayment provisions thereunder, any of the default provisions thereunder, any of the indemnification provisions thereunder or any of the financial covenants thereunder.

9. | CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CLOSING. |
9.1 Buyer’s Conditions Precedent. The following shall be conditions precedent to Buyer’s obligation to consummate the Closing of the Transactions (collectively, “Buyer’s Conditions Precedent”):
9.1.1 Buyer shall have obtained the approval of the board of directors of its member, Xxxxx Properties, Inc., of the purchase and sale transaction contemplated herein, provided that any such approval must be obtained prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Period and Buyer shall be deemed to have waived such condition if it delivers its notice of election to proceed pursuant to Section 4.5.
9.1.2 The Title Company shall stand ready to issue at the Closing an extended coverage ALTA Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance for each Individual Property (and an ALTA Leasehold Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance with respect to the leasehold interests under the Salisbury Ground Lease), together with a non-imputation endorsement reasonably acceptable to Buyer, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (collectively, the “Title Policies”), insuring each Owner’s and the purchaser of Salisbury Ground Seller’s interest in each Individual Property, in the amount of the Purchase Price allocated thereto, dated as of the day of the Closing.
9.1.3 There shall exist no breach of any of Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 7 or elsewhere hereunder (and without taking into effect any updates thereto which disclose a breach thereof) or any material obligation or covenant of Seller hereunder as of the Closing.
25
9.1.4 Seller shall have delivered to the Escrow Company the items described in Section 11.1.
9.1.5 Estoppel Certificates.
9.1.5.1 Buyer shall have received from Seller, at least three Business Days before the Closing, estoppel certificates, substantially in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto (collectively, “Tenant Estoppel Certificates”), executed by tenants (including any guarantors or such tenants’ obligations under their respective leases) under (i) all Leases demising twelve thousand square feet of space or more (“Major Tenants”), plus (ii) Leases demising an aggregate of not less than seventy percent (the “Estoppel Threshold”) of the balance of the leased rentable square feet of each Property, excluding square footage leased to Major Tenants, Temporary Tenants and storage, kiosk or cart tenants. The delivery by any tenant of an estoppel certificate substantially in the form required by such tenant’s Lease, or the delivery by a national tenant of its standard form of estoppel, shall satisfy this condition. No Tenant Estoppel Certificates shall be dated earlier than sixty days prior to the Closing. A Tenant Estoppel Certificate shall not satisfy this condition if it discloses a Material Default by Owner under the applicable Lease or any other factual matters materially inconsistent with the applicable Lease, the Rent Roll or any other information delivered by Seller to Buyer in connection with its due diligence investigations of the Property. The foregoing requirement and calculation shall exclude in all events the square footage leased by “Temporary Tenants”, meaning tenants whose leases have not at any time had a stated term of more than two years.
9.1.5.2 Seller shall have the option, but shall not be required, to execute a certificate in the form of Exhibit K attached hereto (“Seller Certificate”) for tenants other than the Major Tenants and the Temporary Tenants (“Other Tenants”) who have not provided a Tenant Estoppel Certificate in order to satisfy the Estoppel Threshold; provided, however, that the aggregate square footage of leased premises for which Seller Certificates may be delivered by Seller in lieu of Tenant Estoppel Certificates shall not exceed ten percent of the square footage leased by tenants other than Other Tenants. Seller’s liability to Buyer under each such Seller Certificate for any inaccuracies therein or otherwise shall terminate on the earlier of: (i) the date on which Seller delivers to Buyer a conforming Tenant Estoppel Certificate from a tenant for whom Seller executed a Seller Certificate at the Closing (provided that no outstanding claim or dispute exists in connection with such lease with respect to any matter that was covered by such Seller Certificate, such Tenant Estoppel Certificate does not allege Material Defaults of Owner, and such Tenant Estoppel Certificate confirms, in all material respects, the information included in such Seller Certificate) and (ii) the first anniversary of the Closing.

Failure to timely deliver such a notice shall be deemed Buyer’s approval of such Tenant Estoppel Certificate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Tenant Estoppel Certificate is delivered pursuant to the terms of this Section during the ten Business Day period prior to the Closing Date, then Buyer must provide written notice to Seller of its disapproval within three Business Days after receipt of such Tenant Estoppel Certificate.

If Buyer disapproves any Operating Agreement Estoppel Certificates delivered pursuant to the terms of this Section, then Buyer shall provide written notice to Seller of its disapproval within five Business Days after receipt thereof, and Seller may, or may cause Owner to, remedy the condition which caused Buyer to disapprove such Operating Agreement Estoppel Certificate and deliver to Buyer prior to the Closing an updated Operating Agreement Estoppel Certificate in accordance with the terms of this Section. Failure to timely deliver such a notice shall be deemed Buyer’s approval of such Operating Agreement Estoppel Certificate.
9.1.7 The Lender Consents have been obtained and the closing of the Loan Assumptions shall have occurred or will occur concurrently with the Closing.
9.1.8 On the date of Closing, the Property shall be in substantially the same condition and repair as on the last day of the Due Diligence Period, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
The conditions set forth in this Section 9.1 are solely for the benefit of Buyer and may be waived only by Buyer. Buyer shall, at all times prior to the termination of this Agreement, have the right to waive any of these conditions. If any one or more of the conditions precedent set forth in this Section 9.1 shall not be satisfied by the Outside Closing Date, the Buyer, at its option and by notice to Seller, may elect to (i) terminate this Agreement in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer in accordance with Section 2.1.4, Seller shall bear any title or escrow cancellation fees, and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except those which expressly survive termination of this Agreement, or (ii) waive such unsatisfied conditions. Failure to deliver such a notice shall be deemed Buyer’s waiver of such conditions.
27
The foregoing shall not limit any other rights or remedies of Buyer under this Agreement, at law or in equity, in the event of a breach of this Agreement by Seller.
9.2 Seller’s Conditions Precedent. The following shall be conditions precedent to Seller’s obligation to consummate the purchase and sale transaction contemplated herein with respect to the Property (the “Seller’s Conditions Precedent”):

At the Exchangor’s election, the Deed and all closing documents with respect to the Property shall run directly between the Non-Exchangor and either the Exchangor or the Exchangor’s designated intermediary or Qualified Exchange Accommodation Titleholder. The Closing shall not be extended as a result of the Exchange. The Exchangor shall indemnify and hold the Non-Exchangor harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees but excluding costs incurred to review the exchange documents) arising from the Exchange (other than what would have been applicable under this Agreement without the Exchange) which indemnification agreement shall expressly survive the Closing. The Exchangor further acknowledges that the Exchange is at the request and initiation of the Exchangor, and the Non-Exchangor in no manner, expressly or implicitly, participated in or offered tax advice or planning to or for the benefit of the Exchangor. The Exchangor is relying solely upon the advice and counsel of professionals of the Exchangor’s choice in structuring, executing and consummating the Exchange.

PRORATION METHOD
PRORATION METHOD
1.Items to be Prorated. The following shall be prorated and adjusted between Seller and Buyer as of the day of the Closing, except as otherwise specified in this Agreement:
1.1 All rents and other occupancy charges (including Recoveries) paid under the Leases shall be prorated on an as collected basis as of close of business on the day before the Closing Date, except as set forth below. Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for (x) any prepaid rent or other charges, (y) unpaid tenant improvement costs and allowances with respect to Leases that have been executed prior to the Execution Date, and (y) all current and future "free rent" and abatement of other charges under Leases, other than Leases with Temporary Tenants, Leases under which the tenants pay percentage rent, and Leases entered into after the Execution Date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
1.2 Except with respect to Leases under which the tenants pay solely percentage rent, percentage rent as collected shall be prorated at Closing based upon an estimate of the percentage rent payable for the applicable year under each Lease, and after the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall prorate all such percentage rent as and when complete and accurate information becomes available with respect to actual percentage rent payable for the applicable year, in accordance with Section 6 below. Except with respect to Leases under which the tenants pay solely percentage rent, no proration of percentage rent shall occur at Closing; rather, Buyer and Seller shall prorate all such percentage rent as and when complete and accurate information becomes available with respect to actual percentage rent payable for the applicable year, in accordance with Section 6 below.
1.3 Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for all security deposits and construction deposits (and interest accrued thereon, if any) under the Leases to the extent returnable to tenants under Leases. Buyer shall also receive a credit for (i) current and future “free rent” and abatements of other charges under Leases with Temporary Tenants, and (ii) leasing commissions with respect to Leases entered into by Seller in breach of Section 10.2.1 of this Agreement, if any.
1.4 All expenses and liabilities of the Property incurred (on an accrual basis) (i) prior to the Closing shall be the obligation of Seller, and (ii) on and after the Closing shall be the obligation of Buyer. Real estate taxes and assessments and personal property taxes assessed against the Property shall be prorated on an accrual basis for the relevant tax year (i.e., Seller and Buyer are responsible for taxes and assessments to the extent accrued during their respective periods of ownership of the Property, regardless of when such taxes and assessments become due and payable), based upon the most recent ascertainable tax bills, and adjusted upon receipt of the actual tax bills. To the extent any such expenses and liabilities are incurred with respect to the period prior to the Closing but are not billed or otherwise due and payable until after the Closing, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect from tenants any such amounts payable by tenants for periods prior to the Closing for Seller’s account, including sending written
Exhibit L-1
demands to tenants, and remit to Seller any amounts collected from tenants. If, as a result of any tax protest or otherwise, any refund of any taxes relating to the Property is obtained, whether obtained prior to or after the Closing, then, subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases, such refund shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer in a manner consistent with the proration of amounts payable for taxes as set forth above. To the extent any such refunds are paid to Seller, Seller shall promptly turn over to the tenants under Leases any amounts due such tenants and Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold Buyer harmless from any claims by tenants with respect thereto. To the extent any such refunds are paid to Buyer, Buyer shall promptly turn over to the tenants under Leases any amounts due such tenants and Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from any claims by tenants with respect thereto.
1.5 Utility expenses shall be prorated based on a reading of utility meters for the Property, to the extent feasible, on or as close as possible to the Closing Date.
2. Post-Closing Receipts. Except as set forth in Sections 1.2 and 4 hereof, rents and other remittances collected from a tenant after the Closing (including judgments on past-due amounts) shall be applied or distributed:
2.1 First, to Buyer and Seller in their respective prorated amounts for amounts due from such tenant in the month in which the Closing occurs; then
2.2 Second, to Buyer for all amounts then currently due and payable by such tenant with respect to any period after the month in which the Closing occurs; then
2.3 Third, to Seller to the extent of amounts due and payable by such tenant prior to the Closing; then
2.4 Fourth, to Buyer for application to future rents payable by such tenant.
3. Pursuit of Delinquent Rents. For a period of at least six months following the Closing Date, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts, including, without limitation, sending written demands to tenants, to collect such amounts from tenants who owe amounts for periods prior to the Closing. In no event shall Seller have the right to evict tenants or seek lease terminations to collect such delinquencies.
4. Recoveries of Tenant-Reimbursable Expenses. All Recoveries with respect to the Property shall be prorated on the following basis:
4.1 As used herein, "Recoveries" means all common area maintenance charges, enclosed mall maintenance charges, real estate tax reimbursements, expenses and charges payable by or to Seller under or in connection with any Operating Agreement binding on the Property, and other reimbursed charges for the current fiscal period for each such item, to the extent denominated as such charges in Leases.
Exhibit L-2
4.2 As used herein, "Recoverable Expenses" means any operating expenses of the Property for which funds are collected as Recoveries under the Leases for the current fiscal period for each such item.
4.3 Following the Closing, Seller shall remain liable for any refunds or credits which may be due to tenants with respect to overpayments of Recoveries made by such tenants relating to any period prior to the Closing.
4.4 Following the Closing, Buyer shall be responsible for calculating, adjusting, reconciling, billing and paying amounts collectible or payable for all dates prior to Closing, and Seller shall provide Buyer with any information reasonably requested by Buyer or as may be required under the Leases to perform such calculations, adjustments and reconciliations. Seller shall reimburse Buyer for its share of any refunds or credits paid to tenants with respect to overpayments of Recoveries made by such tenants relating to any period prior to the Closing.
5. Basis for Calculation. For purposes of calculating prorations, Buyer shall be deemed to be in title to the Property, and therefore entitled to the income therefrom and responsible for the expenses thereof, for the entire day upon which the Closing occurs. All such prorations shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days of the year which shall have elapsed as of the day of the Closing and based upon a three hundred sixty-five day year. The recoveries calculation for 2013 shall include all Recoverable Expenses for 2013.
6. Post-Closing Reconciliation. All prorations shall be subject to adjustment in cash after the Closing outside of Escrow, as and when complete and accurate information becomes available. Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate and use their best efforts to make all of such adjustments no later than March 31, 2014. Seller and Buyer each shall reasonably cooperate with the other to provide such information as may be reasonably requested by each such party or as may be required under the Leases to complete such reconciliation. Except as set forth in this Exhibit L, all items of income and expense for the period prior to the Closing will be for the account of Seller and all items of income and expense for the period on and after the Closing will be for the account of Buyer, all as determined by the accrual method of accounting. The terms and provisions of this Exhibit L shall survive the Closing.
7. Rent Abatement Resulting from Casualty or Condemnation. The provisions of this Exhibit L do not apply to abatements of rent or other charges under the Leases resulting from any casualty or condemnation event, which events, and any credits which may result therefrom, shall be governed by Section 17 of this Agreement.
