----------
delivered to Purchaser at the Closing, subject to the Permitted Encumbrances.
6.3 Proration. Except for all leasing commissions and tenant improvement
---------
costs associated with existing tenants for existing terms under the existing
lease documents which shall be paid by Seller, all rents, other amounts payable
by the tenants under the Leases, income, utilities and all other operating
expenses with respect to the Property for the month in which the Closing occurs,
and real estate and personal property taxes and other assessments with respect
to the Property for the year in which the Closing occurs, shall be prorated to
the Closing Date.
(a) If the Closing shall occur before rents and all other amounts
payable by the tenants under the Leases and all other income from the
Property have actually been paid for the month in which the Closing occurs,
the apportionment of such rents and other amounts and other income shall be
upon the basis of such rents, other amounts and other income actually
collected and received by Seller. Subsequent to the Closing, if any such
rents and other income are actually collected and received by Purchaser,
all such amounts shall first be applied to post-closing rents due to
Purchaser which are past due and the balance shall be immediately paid by
Purchaser to Seller. Purchaser shall make a good faith effort and attempt
for a period not to extend beyond four (4) months after the Closing Date to
collect any such rents and other amounts and other income not apportioned
at the Closing for the benefit of Seller; however, Purchaser shall not be
required to expend any funds or institute any litigation in its collection
efforts. Nothing in this paragraph shall restrict Seller's right to
collect delinquent rents directly from a tenant by any legal means.
(b) Taxes will be prorated on an accrual basis. If the Closing shall
occur before the tax rate or the assessed valuation of the Property is
fixed for the then current year, the apportionment of taxes shall be upon
the basis of the tax rate for the preceding year applied to the latest
assessed valuation. Subsequent to the Closing, when the tax rate and the
assessed valuation of the Property is fixed for the year in which the
Closing occurs, the parties agree to adjust the proration of taxes and, if
necessary, to refund or repay such sums as shall be necessary to effect
such adjustment. If the Property is not assessed as a separate parcel for
tax or assessment purposes, then such taxes and assessments attributable to
the Property shall be determined by Purchaser and Seller. In the event the
Property has been assessed for property tax purposes at such rates as could
22
<PAGE>
result in "roll-back" taxes upon changes in land usage or ownership of the
Property, Seller agrees to pay all such taxes.
(c) If the Closing shall occur before the actual amount of utilities
and all other operating expenses with respect to the Property for the month
in which the Closing occurs are determined, the apportionment of such
utilities and other operating expenses shall be upon the basis of an
estimate by Seller of such utilities and other operating expenses for such
month. Subsequent to the Closing, when the actual amount of such utilities
and other operating expenses with respect to the Property for the month in
which the Closing occurs are determined, the parties agree to adjust the
proration of such utilities and other operating expenses and, if necessary,
to refund or repay such sums as shall be necessary to effect such
adjustment.
(d) Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that certain additional
rents constituting reimbursement for percentage rent payments, common area
maintenance charges, property taxes and assessments and the like
(collectively, "Additional-Rents") which Seller has heretofore advanced
have not yet been billed to the Tenants by Seller (collectively, "Unbilled-
Additional-Rents"). Purchaser and Seller agree that, with respect to the
Unbilled Additional Rents, Seller shall provide Purchaser following the
Closing with the data reasonably necessary for Purchaser to provide bills
to the Tenants for the Unbilled Additional Rents. In the event that any
Tenant shall, following the Closing, seek to audit or to challenge Seller's
calculation of rent or Additional Rent actually paid by such Tenant during
the period of Seller's ownership of the Property, upon the agreement of the
Tenant and Seller, or if no such agreement is reached, upon the entering of
a final, non-appealable order (or, if applicable pursuant to the applicable
lease, an arbitration or other dispute resolution award), Seller shall
reimburse such Tenant to the extent of any over-payment of rent or
Additional Rent actually received by Seller, together with any applicable
interest or other costs pursuant to a settlement, court order or other
award, and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect
the amount of any underpayment of rent or Additional Rent from such Tenant,
together with any applicable interest or other costs pursuant to a
settlement, court order or other award for the benefit of Seller.
The agreements of Seller and Purchaser set forth in this Section 6.3 shall
survive the Closing.
6.4 Closing Costs. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Seller
-------------
shall pay, on the Closing Date, the title insurance premium for the Owner's
Policy (as defined in Section 6.5(a) and the cost of the Survey. Purchaser shall

DEFAULT
-------
8.1 Breach by Seller. Except as Purchaser's remedies may otherwise be
----------------
expressly limited by the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation,
the terms of Section 4.4 :
(a) In the event that Seller shall fail to consummate this Agreement
for any reason, except Purchaser's default or a termination of this
Agreement by Purchaser or Seller pursuant to a right to do so under the
provisions hereof, Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedy may either
(a) terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money or
(b) pursue the remedy of specific performance of Seller's obligations under
this Agreement: provided, however, that (i) Purchaser shall only be
entitled to such remedy if (A) any such suit for specific performance is
filed within sixty (60) days after Purchaser becomes aware of the default
by Seller, (B) Purchaser is not in default under this Agreement, (C)
Purchaser has tendered five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price to the
Escrow Agent, in immediately available funds and the Escrow Agent has
acknowledged receipt of same, in writing, to Seller, and (D) Purchaser has
furnished ten (10) days' prior written notice to Seller of its intent and
election to seek specific enforcement of this Agreement; and (ii)
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall not
be obligated to expend any sums to cure any defaults under this Agreement
and if Purchaser seeks specific performance under this Agreement, Purchaser
agrees to accept the Property in its "WHERE IS, AS IS" condition. Purchaser
hereby agrees that prior to its exercise of any rights or remedies as a
result of any defaults by Seller, Purchaser will first deliver written
notice of said default to Seller and give Seller ten (10) days thereafter
in which to cure said default, if Seller so elects. In no event whatsoever
shall Purchaser file any instrument of record against title to the
Property; provided, however, Purchaser may file a lis pendens of this

money damages of any kind as a result of any default by Seller under any of
the terms of this Agreement. in no event shall Seller he liable to

entitled to the Earnest Money as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty) and

Obligations). Seller and Purchaser have made this provision for liquidated
damages because it would be difficult to calculate, on the date hereof, the
amount
26
<PAGE>
of actual damages for such breach, and Seller and Purchaser agree that these
sums represent reasonable compensation to Seller for such breach, (b)
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.2(a) above, (1) in the event of any
default by Purchaser under this Agreement other than as described in Section
8.2(a) (including, without limitation, any breach by the Purchaser of the
