If the Close of Escrow occurs before the tax rate is fixed for the then current year, the apportionment of the taxes shall be upon the basis of the tax rate for the preceding year applied to the latest assessed valuation but any difference in ad valorem taxes for the year of sale actually paid by Purchaser shall be adjusted between the parties upon receipt of written evidence of the payment thereof, provided such adjustment is completed within sixty (60) days after the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that if any of the aforesaid prorations, other than the tax proration, cannot be calculated accurately on the Closing Date, then the same shall be calculated using the most accurate estimates available on the Closing Date and re-calculated once actual numbers are available, provided, however, that any such re-calculations must be completed and delivered in writing to the party to be charged, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date. (i) Delinquent Rents. Any monies collected by Purchaser after Closing from a tenant who is more than thirty (30) days delinquent in payment of rent as of the Closing Date shall be applied in the following order of priority, with respect to the applicable lease: (i) first, to any rent then due to Purchaser for the month in which the Closing occurs or any subsequent months; (ii) second, to pay reasonable outside collection costs incurred by the party collecting such rent; and (iii) third, to Seller to the extent of any rents delinquent as of the Closing Date. 12. Escrow Instructions. (a) Deposit of Purchase Agreement in Escrow. Within two (2) days after the Effective Date, the parties shall deposit an executed copy of this Agreement (or a fully executed copy in counterparts) with Escrow Holder, and Purchaser shall concurrently therewith place the Initial Deposit with Escrow Holder. Escrow Holder shall promptly execute this Agreement upon receipt of this Agreement and the Initial Deposit and, 13 thereupon, escrow hereunder (the "Escrow") shall be established. This Agreement shall serve as the instruction to Escrow Holder to consummate the purchase and sale contemplated hereunder. Seller and Purchaser agree to execute such additional and supplementary escrow instructions as may be reasonably appropriate to enable Escrow Holder to comply with the terms of this Agreement in the form of an amendment to this Agreement. The transactions contemplated herein shall be consummated through Escrow. "Close of Escrow" shall occur on the Closing Date. (b) Conditions to Close. Escrow Holder shall close the Escrow on the Closing Date by (i) causing the Deed to be recorded in the Recorder's Office of the county in which the Property is located, and (ii) delivering the Closing Payment and the Deposit to Seller and the other funds and documents as provided in this Agreement, WHEN AND ONLY WHEN each of the following conditions have been satisfied: (i) All funds and documents have been delivered to Escrow Holder; and (ii) Title Company is prepared to deliver the Title Policy. (c) Distribution of Funds and Documents. Unless this Agreement terminates as provided herein, all funds received by Escrow Holder shall be, until Close of Escrow, kept on deposit and invested. Interest accruing to such account prior to the Close of Escrow shall be for the account of Purchaser. Interest accruing on all sums due Seller after the Close of Escrow shall be for the account of Seller. All disbursements by Escrow Holder to Seller shall be made by federal wire transfer in accordance with wiring instructions to be given by Seller prior to the Closing Date. Upon Close of Escrow: (i) Escrow Holder shall disburse the Closing Payment and the Deposit to Seller. (ii) Escrow Holder shall cause the recorded Deed to be delivered to Purchaser. (iii) Escrow Holder shall deliver all other items deposited into Escrow to the party entitled thereto or benefited thereby. 13. Default. (a) Default by Purchaser; Limitation on Liability; Liquidated Damages. SELLER AND PURCHASER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT IF CLOSING FAILS TO OCCUR SOLELY AS THE RESULT OF A DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT BY PURCHASER, AND IF ALL OTHER CONDITIONS TO SELLER'S OBLIGATIONS TO CONSUMMATE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY TO BE SATISFIED AS OF THE DATE OF SUCH DEFAULT HAVE BEEN SATISFIED AT THE TIME OF SUCH DEFAULT, (i) SELLER WILL BE MATERIALLY DAMAGED, (ii) IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICABLE AT THIS TIME TO ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF SUCH DAMAGE, AND (iii) AFTER NEGOTIATION, THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT, CONSIDERING ALL OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING ON THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES THAT SELLER WOULD INCUR IN SUCH EVENT. ACCORDINGLY, SELLER AND PURCHASER AGREE THAT IN THE EVENT OF SUCH A DEFAULT BY 14 PURCHASER, AND CONDITIONED ON ALL OTHER CONDITIONS TO SELLER'S OBLIGATIONS TO CONSUMMATE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY BEING FULFILLED AT THE TIME OF SUCH DEFAULT, THE DEPOSIT SHALL CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR SUCH DEFAULT. THE ESCROW HOLDER IS HEREBY INSTRUCTED BY SELLER AND PURCHASER TO DELIVER THE DEPOSIT TO SELLER IN SUCH EVENT, AND SELLER SHALL RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES SHALL CONSTITUTE SELLER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR PURCHASER'S DEFAULT, AND SHALL BE IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER MONETARY RELIEF OR ANY OTHER RELIEF TO WHICH SELLER MAY OTHERWISE BE ENTITLED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER THE LAW, AND SELLER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OR DAMAGES HEREUNDER, EXCEPT THAT SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO EXERCISE ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES IT MAY HAVE BY VIRTUE OF ANY INDEMNITY CREATED OR GRANTED HEREIN OR ARISING FROM PURCHASER'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

If Seller is unable to do so, without fault and notwithstanding Seller's diligent, good faith efforts, Purchaser shall have the option to either (x) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice of termination to Seller on or prior to the Closing Date, in which case the Deposit will be released to Purchaser in accordance with Paragraph 7 hereof, or (y) proceed with the purchase of the Property, in which event at Closing Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of all insurance proceeds collected by Seller as a result of any such damage or destruction (or such proceeds shall be assigned to Purchaser if not then collected), plus any insurance deductibles applicable to such damage or destruction, less any monies actually expended by Seller to repair any damage. (b) Condemnation. If any part of the Property is condemned prior to Closing Date, Seller shall promptly give Purchaser written notice of such condemnation and Purchaser shall have the option of either applying the proceeds of any condemnation award on a pro rata basis to reduce the Purchase Price provided herein, or declaring this Agreement terminated by delivering written notice of termination to Seller within five (5) days of Purchaser's receipt of Seller's notice of condemnation, in which case the Deposit will be released to Purchaser in accordance with Paragraph 7 hereof. 15. Attorneys' Fees.
