Closing Adjustments Adjustments to the Purchase Price shall be made between Seller and Purchaser and shall be prorated on a per diem basis as of the Closing Date. The Closing Date shall be a day of income and expense for Purchaser. The following items shall be prorated and adjusted between Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing Date, except as otherwise specified:
9.1 Prepaid rents and other prepaid charges collected by Seller from Tenant for the month of Closing shall be prorated by credit to Purchaser. Rents and other charges which relate to periods prior to Closing which have not been collected as of Closing (collectively "Delinquent Rents") shall not be prorated. Seller shall have the right to collect Delinquent Rents from Tenant, which may include legal proceedings against Tenant as Seller deems appropriate, provided no such action shall demand possession or termination of the Lease. Any rents collected after closing shall be applied against the receivable as indicated by Tenant, provided if not specifically identifiable, rents collected after Closing from Tenant shall be applied: (i) first, rents due for the month in which such payment is received, (iii) second, to rents attributable to any period after Closing which are past due on the date of receipt, and (iv) third, to Delinquent Rents. After Closing, Seller shall promptly remit to Purchaser any rents received relating to periods after Closing and Purchaser shall promptly remit to Seller any Delinquent Rents received. The provision of this Section 9.1 shall survive Closing.
9.2 Real estate taxes, water, electricity, sewer, gas, telephone and other utilities and charges which are paid directly by Tenant under the Lease shall not be prorated.
9.3 To the extent that errors are discovered in, or additional information becomes available with respect to, the prorations and allocations made at Closing, Seller and Purchaser agree to make such post-Closing adjustments as may be necessary to correct any inaccuracy; however, all prorations (except for prorations and allocations of (i) ad valorem taxes, (ii) tenant reimbursables of taxes and operating expenses, as applicable and (iii) prorations or allocations that are then currently in dispute) shall be final no later than six (6) months after Closing.
Post-Closing Adjustments As soon as practicable after the Closing, but in no event later than one hundred eighty (180) days thereafter, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a final settlement statement (the “Final Settlement Statement”) setting forth each adjustment or payment that was not finally determined as of the Closing and showing the calculation of such adjustments and the resulting Final Purchase Price. Seller shall make its workpapers and other information available to Purchaser to review in order to confirm the adjustments shown on Seller’s draft. As soon as practicable after receipt of the Final Settlement Statement, but in no event later than sixty (60) days thereafter, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a written report containing any changes that Purchaser proposes to make to the Final Settlement Statement. Any failure by Purchaser to deliver to Seller the written report detailing Purchaser’s proposed changes to the Final Settlement Statement within sixty (60) days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Final Settlement Statement shall be deemed an acceptance by Purchaser of the Final Settlement Statement as submitted by Seller. The parties shall agree with respect to the changes proposed by Purchaser, if any, no later than sixty (60) days after Seller receives from Purchaser the written report described above containing Purchaser’s proposed changes. If the Purchaser and the Seller cannot then agree upon the Final Settlement Statement, the determination of the amount of the Final Settlement Statement shall be submitted to a mutually agreed firm of independent public accountants (the “Accounting Firm”). The determination by the Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto and shall be enforceable against any party hereto in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any costs and expenses incurred by the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall be borne by the Seller and the Purchaser equally. The date upon which such agreement is reached or upon which the Final Purchase Price is established, shall be herein called the “Final Settlement Date.” In the event
(a) the Final Purchase Price is more than the Estimated Final Purchase Price, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the amount of such difference, or
(b) the Final Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Final Purchase Price, Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount of such difference, in either event by wire transfer in immediately available funds. Payment by Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, shall be within five (5) days of the Final Settlement Date.
Closing Adjustment (A) with the actual amount paid at the Closing for Paid Time Off. The ----- Sellers shall notify the Buyer in writing of any disputed items contained in the Assets Determination within thirty (30) days from its delivery, and after such date all undisputed items shall be deemed accepted by Seller and made part of the final determination of the adjustment, if any, to be made to the Purchase Price (the "Final Statement"). As soon as practical, but in any event within thirty (30) days following the Closing, the Sellers shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer an inventory determination (the "Inventory Determination") comparing the cost of the Inventory as of July 31, 1996, which is set forth in Schedule 2.3 hereto, with ------------ the actual cost (including the actual and reasonable freight and handling costs associated with acquiring and delivering the Inventory to the Sam's Club Locations) of the Inventory transferred on the Closing. The Sellers and the Buyer may each conduct their own physical count of the Inventory transferred on the Closing Date. The Buyer shall notify the Sellers in writing of any disputed items contained in the Inventory Determination within thirty (30) days from its delivery, and after such date all undisputed items shall be deemed accepted by the Buyer and made part of the Final Statement. In the event that the Sellers and the Buyer are unable to agree upon disputed items within thirty (30) days after the Buyer's notification thereof, then the amount of the disputed items shall be determined by the accounting firm of Price Waterhouse LLP, or such other firm selected by the Buyer within fifteen days after the end of such thirty day period. The disputed items shall be submitted to the selected accounting firm within thirty days after such accounting firm is selected. The determination by such accounting firm shall be conclusive and binding on all parties, shall be made within sixty days after such disputed items are so submitted and shall be made a part of the Final Statement. The Buyer shall pay all of the fees and expenses of the accounting firm settling any disputed items on the Final Statement.
Prorations and Adjustments (a) Seller and Purchaser agree to prorate and/or adjust, as of 11:59 p.m. on the day preceding the Closing Date (the “Proration Time”), the following (collectively, the “Proration Items”):
(i) Rents, in accordance with Section 10.4(c) below.
(ii) Cash Security Deposits and any prepaid rents, together with any interest required to be paid thereon.
(iii) Utility charges payable by Seller, including, without limitation, electricity, water charges and sewer charges. If there are meters on the Real Property, final readings and final ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for utilities will be made if possible on the day before the Closing Date, in which event no proration will be made at the Closing with respect to utility bills. If meter readings on the day before the Closing Date are not possible, then Seller will cause readings of all said meters to be performed not more than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, and a per diem adjustment shall be made for the days between the meter reading date and the Closing Date based on the most recent meter reading. Seller will be entitled to all deposits presently in effect with the utility providers, and Purchaser will be obligated to make its own arrangements for any deposits with the utility providers.
(iv) Amounts payable under the Service Contracts other than those Service Contracts which Purchaser has elected not to assume by written notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Evaluation Period.
(v) Real estate taxes due and payable for the calendar year. If the Closing Date shall occur before the tax rate is fixed, the apportionment of real estate taxes shall be upon the basis of the tax rate for the preceding year applied to the latest assessed valuation. If, subsequent to the Closing Date, real estate taxes (by reason of change in either assessment or rate or for any other reason other than as a result of the final determination or settlement of any tax appeal) for the Real Property should be determined to be higher or lower than those that are apportioned, a new computation shall be made, and Seller agrees to pay Purchaser any increase shown by such recomputation and vice versa; provided, however, that if any increase in the assessed value of the Property results from improvements made to the Property by Purchaser, then Purchaser shall be solely responsible for any increase in taxes attributable thereto. With respect to tax appeals, any tax refunds or credits attributable to tax years prior to the tax year in which the Closing occurs shall belong solely to Seller, regardless of whether such refunds are paid or credits are given before or after Closing. Any tax refunds or credits attributable to the tax year in which the Closing occurs shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser based on their respective periods of ownership in such tax year. The expenses of any tax appeals shall be apportioned between the parties in the same manner as the refunds and/or credits. The provisions of this Section 10.4(a)(v) shall survive the Closing.
(vi) The value of fuel stored at the Real Property, at Seller’s most recent cost, including taxes, on the basis of a reading made within ten (10) days prior to the Closing by Seller’s supplier.
(b) Seller will be charged and credited for the amounts of all of the Proration Items relating to the period up to and including the Proration Time, and Purchaser will be charged and credited for all of the Proration Items relating to the period after the Proration Time. The estimated Closing prorations shall be set forth on a preliminary closing statement to be prepared by Seller and submitted to Purchaser prior to the Closing Date (the “Closing Statement”). The Closing Statement, once agreed upon, shall be signed by Purchaser and Seller. The proration shall be paid at Closing by Purchaser to Seller (if the prorations result in a net credit to Seller) or by Seller to Purchaser (if the prorations result in a net credit to Purchaser) by increasing or reducing the cash to be delivered by Purchaser in payment of the Purchase Price at the Closing. If the actual amounts of the Proration Items are not known as of the Closing Date, the prorations will be made at Closing on the basis of the best evidence then available; thereafter, when actual figures are received, re-prorations will be made on the basis of the actual figures, and a final cash settlement will be made between Seller and Purchaser. No prorations will be made in relation to insurance premiums, and Seller’s insurance policies will not be assigned to Purchaser. The provisions of this Section 10.4(b) will survive the Closing for twelve (12) months.
(c) Purchaser will receive a credit on the Closing Statement for the prorated amount (as of the Proration Time) of all Rental previously paid to or collected by Seller and attributable to any period following the Proration Time. After the Closing, Seller will cause to be paid or turned over to Purchaser all Rental, if any, received by Seller after Closing and attributable to any period following the Proration Time. “Rental” as used herein includes fixed monthly rentals, additional rentals, percentage rentals, escalation rentals (which include each Tenant’s proration share of building operation and maintenance costs and expenses as provided for under the Lease, to the extent the same exceeds any expense stop specified in such Lease), retroactive rentals, all administrative charges, utility charges, tenant or real property association dues, storage rentals, special event proceeds, temporary rents, telephone receipts, locker rentals, vending machine receipts and other sums and charges payable by Tenants under the Leases or from other occupants or users of the Property. Rental is “Delinquent” when it was due prior to the Closing Date, and payment thereof has not been made on or before the Proration Time. Delinquent Rental will not be prorated. Purchaser agrees to use good faith collection procedures with respect to the collection of any Delinquent Rental. All sums collected by Purchaser in the month of Closing shall be applied to the month of Closing. All sums collected by Purchaser thereafter from each Tenant (excluding tenant specific ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for tenant work orders and other specific services as described in and governed by Section 10.4(e) below) will be applied first to current amounts owed by such Tenant to Purchaser, and then delinquencies owed by such Tenant to Seller. Any sums due Seller will be promptly remitted to Seller. Purchaser shall not modify, amend or terminate any existing agreements with Tenants relating to past rent due.
Adjustments and Prorations 6.1 The following adjustments and prorations shall be made at the Closing between SCOLP, Owner and Contributor. The adjustments and prorations will be made by a cash payment and shall not be an adjustment to the Units to be issued at Closing.
(a) Real estate taxes and personal property taxes which are a lien upon or levied against any portion of the Project prior to the Contribution Date (other than current taxes), and all special assessments levied on any portion of the Project prior to the Contribution Date, shall be paid by Owner or Contributor prior to the Contribution Date. Current real estate and personal property taxes and assessments shall be prorated at the Closing effective as of the Closing Date on a calendar year basis, understanding that real estate taxes in the State of Florida are payable in arrears. Such proration shall be made on the basis of the amount of real estate and personal property taxes for the current year if and to the extent that the taxing authorities have issued statements therefor, but otherwise based on real estate taxes assessed for the current tax year plus an estimated increase of 5%. Real estate taxes and personal property taxes levied against any portion of the Project and applicable to the period after the Contribution Date shall be prorated and adjusted between the parties on a calendar year basis and shall be paid by Contributor or SCOLP, as the case may be.
(b) The amount of all unpaid water and other utility bills for the Project which are not directly billed to the tenants of the Project, and all other operating and other expenses incurred with respect to the Project and Owner, and relating to the period prior to the Contribution Date, shall be paid by Owner or Contributor on or prior to the Contribution Date or, if not paid, an amount equal to such unpaid expenses shall be part of the cash adjustment at Closing. The amount of all prepaid water and other utility bills for the Project, and all other operating and other expenses to be incurred with respect to the Project and Owner, and relating to the period after and including the Contribution Date, shall be paid by SCOLP to Contributor on the Contribution Date.
(c) Charges under Project Contracts (as defined below) attributable to the period prior to the Contribution Date shall be paid by Owner or Contributor prior to the Contribution Date, or, if not paid, the amount due shall be reserved in cash within the Owner as of the Contribution Date. Prepaid charges under Project Contracts attributable to the period after and including the Contribution Date shall be paid by SCOLP to Contributor on the Contribution Date.
(d) All rental and other revenues collected by Owner up to the Contribution Date which are allocable to the period prior to the Contribution Date, including without limit pass-through and pass-on charges, shall become a part of the disbursement from Owner to the Holding Company (and then from the Holding Company to Contributor) made pursuant to Section 6.2 below.
(e) Prepaid revenue received by the Owner attributable to the period after and including the Contribution Date including, without limit, tenant rents, pass-through charges, pass-on charges, water and other periodic revenues (the “Rents”) for the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs (the “Closing Month”), and Rents not delinquent more than thirty days as of the Closing Date (for those residents which remain in occupancy at the Project), shall be prorated on an accrual basis. SCOLP shall either pay the Contributor or provide the Contributor with a credit for (x) all unpaid Rents from tenants who are not delinquent more than thirty days as of the Closing Date (for those residents which remain in occupancy at the Project); and (y) the pro rata share of the total unpaid Rents for the Closing Month based upon the number of days in such month. SCOLP shall be paid or shall receive a credit for the pro rata share of the collected Rents received for the Closing Month. In addition to the foregoing, SCOLP and Contributor shall mutually agree as to the amount to be paid or credited to Contributor, if any, for Rents delinquent more than thirty days as of the Closing Date (for those residents which remain in occupancy at the Project), based upon the likelihood of collecting such Rents. In the event the parties are unable to agree, the Owner shall apply any payments received during the period between the Closing Date and the date which is ninety days after the Closing Date, first to the cost of collecting such payments, then to the most recent charges due and, thereafter, to unpaid charges due prior to Closing. Any payments received after the ninetieth day after Closing shall not be subject to pro ration. Contributor shall have no further rights following Closing with respect to such Rents. In addition to the foregoing, SCOLP shall also pay or provide Contributor with a credit for the amount of accrued but unpaid utility fees due from the tenants with respect to periods prior to Closing. To the extent any Rents allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date are collected after Closing, they shall remain the property of the Owner and/or SCOLP, and shall not be paid to or distributed to the Contributor. The Owner shall not distribute or assign to the Contributor and the Contributor shall not have the right to seek collection, through litigation or otherwise, of unpaid Rents. Any eviction actions which are on-going as of the Closing Date and the expense of any legal fees associated with such eviction actions incurred on and after the Closing Date shall be the responsibility of Owner after Closing and shall not be charged to Contributor. Sums received on account of such litigation shall also remain the property of the Owner and shall not be paid to the Contributor or otherwise subject to proration.
(f) An amount equal to all expenses of the Project which were paid prior to the Contribution Date and for which Owner will benefit after the Contribution Date shall be disbursed or credited to Contributor at the Closing.
(g) All compensation, fringe benefits and other amounts due the employees of Owner or the manager of the Project for the period prior to the Contribution Date, whether as hourly pay, salaries, overtime, bonus, vacation or sick pay, severance pay, pensions or otherwise, and all amounts due for the payment of employment taxes with respect thereto, shall be paid by Owner on or prior to the Contribution Date, or, if not paid, an amount equal to such entire unpaid liability shall be paid in cash at Closing.
(h) All costs and expenses incurred by Owner, the Holding Company or Contributor prior to the Contribution Date in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, attorney and other professional fees, the Acquisition Loan, and the costs and expenses payable by Owner, Holding Company or Contributor hereunder (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses specified in Section 19.1 to be paid by Contributor), shall be paid by Contributor and shall not be charged to, or the responsibility of SCOLP.
(i) The amount of all escrows and reserves required under the Mortgage Documents which are on deposit on the Contribution Date shall be paid by SCOLP to the Contributor on the Contribution Date or, if not paid, an amount equal to such escrows and reserves shall be credited to Contributor in connection with the cash adjustment at Closing.
(j) In the event any rental discounts, leasing incentives or other credits, incentives or obligations have been provided to any of the occupants at the Project for any reason, and the same have not been fully satisfied by Closing, SCOLP shall be entitled to a credit or payment at Closing in the amount of such discounts, incentives or obligations. In all events, all debts, obligations, charges, liabilities and liens with respect to the Project shall be fully paid and satisfied or credited or paid to SCOLP on the Contribution Date, except only the Existing Mortgage and the lien for taxes not yet due and payable.
6.2 On or prior to the Contribution Date, Contributor (directly or indirectly through the Holding Company) shall be entitled to a distribution from Owner in an amount equal to all of the cash and cash equivalent assets held by Owner as of the Contribution Date, after deduction for any and all costs, expenses and prorations payable by or chargeable against the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entities hereunder. The Owner shall not distribute any other right, claim, cause of action or asset after the Effective Date of this Agreement.
6.3 If within ninety (90) days after the Closing either SCOLP or Contributor discovers any inaccuracies or errors in the pro rations or adjustments done at Closing pursuant to Sections 6.1 and/or 6.2, such party shall notify the other party of such inaccuracy or error by written notice including reasonable detail of the appropriate calculation. The parties shall attempt, in good faith, to resolve any issues with respect to delinquent revenue and the prorations and adjustments done at Closing pursuant to Section 6.1. After the parties resolve any such issues or, in the event the parties are unable to resolve issues, a final judgment has been rendered with respect to such matter without timely appeal or after all appeals timely made are fully resolved, SCOLP and Contributor shall promptly take all action and pay all sums necessary so that such pro rations and adjustments shall be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the obligations of either party to pay any such amount shall survive the Contribution Date. Prorations and adjustments to prorations are not subject to, or included within, the Minimum Amount or Maximum Amount set forth in Section 7.3(d).
