9. PRORATION, COSTS AND EXPENSES

9.1 Prorations and Apportionments

However, in the event an item of expense or revenue must be prorated, it shall be prorated and apportioned as of 12:01 a.m. on the date of the Closing so that Seller shall bear all expenses with respect to the Properties and shall have the benefit of all income with respect to the Properties through and including the period preceding the date of the Closing. Any taxes or other amounts which cannot be ascertained with certainty as of the Closing shall be prorated on the basis of the parties’ reasonable estimates of such amount(s) and shall be the subject of a final proration thirty (30) days after the Closing or as soon thereafter as the precise amounts can be ascertained.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, monthly rent payable by the “Tenant” under the Lease shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days in the month in which the Closing occurs, and shall be paid by Seller at the Closing for the period commencing on the Closing and ending on the last day of the month in which the Closing occurs. In addition, if the Closing occurs on or after the twenty-fifth (25^th) day of the month, Seller also shall pay the monthly rent payable by Tenant under the Lease for the immediately succeeding calendar month.

9.2 Payment of Adjustments to Proration

Either party owing the other party a sum of money based on adjustments made to prorations after the Closing shall promptly pay that sum to the other party, together with interest thereon at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum to the date of payment if payment is not made within ten (10) days after mutual agreement of the amount due.
