Operating Expenses and Taxes Lessee and Lessor acknowledge and agree that commencing with the Second Extended Lease Term and continuing with any Extended Lease Term validly exercised thereafter, (x) the Lease provisions relating to payment of Taxes and Operating Expenses shall be converted from a Base Year computation to a straight net basis computation, and (y) Lessee shall be assuming the obligation of maintenance and repair described in Paragraph 11 below. In connection with the conversion from a Base Year to a net lease and Lessee’s assumption of the maintenance and repair obligations described in Paragraph 11 below, Lessee and Lessor wish to modify the terms and provisions of the Lease relating to Operating Expenses to account for such modifications and Lessee’s assumption of such obligations. In connection with the foregoing, Lessee and Lessor hereby acknowledge and agree that commencing on January 1, 2013, (i) the MOU shall have no further force or effect with respect to all periods from and after January 1, 2013 (the MOU shall remain in effect with respect to periods on or before December 31, 2012, except as modified by Xxxxxxxxxx 00 xxx 00 xxxxx), (xx) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Lessee’s obligations with respect to the payment of Lessee’s Percentage of Taxes and Lessee’s Percentage of Operating Expenses shall be computed without reference to a Base Year, with the effect that Lessee’s obligation for payment of Taxes during any Tax Year shall be payment of Lessee’s Percentage of the Taxes incurred with respect to such Tax Year and Lessee’s obligation for payment of Operating Expenses during any Lease Year for Operating Expenses shall be payment of Lessee’s Percentage of the Operating Expenses incurred with respect to such Lease Year for Operating Expenses, and (iii) Article 5 of the Original Lease shall be deleted in its entirety with respect to all periods from and after January 1, 2013 and replaced with the provisions of this Paragraph 10.
Taxes and Operating Expenses All real estate taxes, charges and assessments affecting the Property (“Taxes”), all charges for water, electricity, sewer rental, gas, telephone, fuel oil and all other utilities (“Operating Expenses”), to the extent not paid directly by tenants, and all common area maintenance charges billed to tenants on an estimated basis (“CAM Charges”) shall be prorated on a per diem basis as of the date of Closing. Buyer shall be entitled to all income and responsible for all expenses for the period beginning at 12:01 a.m. (Central Time Zone (U.S.A.)) on the date of Closing, except as set forth herein. If any Taxes have not been finally assessed as of the date of Closing for the current fiscal year of the taxing authority, then the same shall be adjusted at Closing based upon the most recently issued bills therefor, and shall be re-adjusted when and if final bills are issued. If any Operating Expenses or CAM Charges cannot conclusively be determined as of the date of Closing, then the same shall be adjusted at Closing based upon the most recently issued bills thus far, and readjusted within 120 days after the end of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs or as soon thereafter as final adjustment figures are available. Buyer hereby agrees to assume all non-delinquent assessments affecting the Property, whether special or general, subject to proration on a per diem basis as of the Closing Date. If Seller is presently prosecuting tax abatement proceedings, after the Closing, Seller shall continue to be authorized to prosecute such proceedings, and shall be entitled to its pro rata share of any such abatement proceeds. Buyer agrees after the Closing, to the extent reasonably necessary for Seller to continue to prosecute such proceedings, to reasonably cooperate with Seller, to pay its pro rata share of any costs attributable to such proceedings and also agrees to promptly endorse or pay over to Seller any abatement amounts for such years received by Buyer, less applicable costs incurred by Buyer. To the extent that such refunds are paid to Seller and are due to tenants, Seller does hereby covenant and agree that it shall, upon receipt thereof, reimburse tenants for their applicable share of such refunds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all reimbursable expenses shall be reconciled at Closing, such that if Seller has collected sums in excess of its reimbursable expenses under the Leases, Seller shall pay such excess to Buyer. In the event that such reconciliation shows that Seller has collected less than its incurred reimbursable expenses under the Leases, Buyer shall remit the shortfall to Seller, when and to the extent actually collected from tenants (with such collections applied first to amounts due with respect to the month in which Closing occurs, and then to any amounts due Buyer with respect to the period of time following the Closing, and then to Seller with respect to any amounts due to Seller with respect to the period of time prior to the Closing) not later than the expiration of one hundred twenty (120) days after the calendar year in which the Closing occurs with respect to the budgeting of such expenses under the Leases.
REAL ESTATE TAXES, SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS AND PRORATIONS (a) Because the Entire Property (of which the Property is a part) is subject to a triple net lease (as further set forth in paragraph 11(a)(i), the parties acknowledge that there shall be no need for a real estate tax proration. However, Seller represents that to the best of its knowledge, all real estate taxes and installments of special assessments due and payable in all years prior to the year of Closing have been paid in full. Unpaid real estate taxes and unpaid levied and pending special assessments existing on the date of Closing shall be the responsibility of Buyer and Seller in proportion to their respective Tenant in Common interests, pro-rated, however, to the date of closing for the period prior to closing, which shall be the responsibility of Seller if Tenant shall not pay the same. Seller and Buyer shall likewise pay all taxes due and payable in the year after Closing and any unpaid installments of special assessments payable therewith and thereafter, if such unpaid levied and pending special assessments and real estate taxes are not paid by any tenant of the Entire Property.
Common Area Operating Expenses Lessee shall pay to Lessor during the term hereof, in addition to the Base Rent, Lessee's Share (as specified in Paragraph 1.6(b)) of all Common Area Operating Expenses, as hereinafter defined, during each calendar year of the term of this Lease, in accordance with the following provisions:

If requested, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord on the first day of each calendar month, together with the payment of rent, such amount as Landlord estimates from time to time as necessary to pay such expenses. Landlord shall xxxx Tenant annually after the end of each year for such expenses. In the event the aggregate of Tenant’s installments during the year shall be less than the amount of Operating Expenses due from Tenant, such deficiency shall be paid to Landlord within ten (10) days after demand therefore. In the event the aggregate of Tenant’s installments during the year shall be more than the amount of Operating Expenses due from Tenant, such overpayment shall be applied to Tenant’s next monthly installment of Operating Expenses and Rent. As used herein, the term “Operating Expenses” shall include the cost of maintaining casualty and public liability insurance covering the Premises, real estate ad valorem taxes and all costs of managing, operating and maintaining the Premises, including but not limited to: costs of constructing, maintaining and repairing on site and off-site traffic controls; decorating, painting, lighting, sanitary control, and removal of trash, garbage and other refuse; maintenance, repair and replacement of utility systems serving any common areas, including water, sanitary sewer and storm water lines and other utility lines, pipes and conduits; costs of utilities, including water, sewer, electricity, and gas; janitorial, sweeping and cleaning services, trash bin rentals, trash pickup fees, licenses, permits and inspection fees; parking lot painting and restriping; planting, irrigating, gardening and landscaping; signs and markers; parking control and security guards and fire protection or detection service; all general maintenance and repair; other general operation and maintenance costs and expenses; all labor and supplies required by the foregoing; and administrative costs directly attributable thereto.
Limit on Operating Expenses The Advisor hereby agrees to limit the Fund’s current Operating Expenses to an annual rate, expressed as a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the month, to the amounts listed in Appendix A (the “Annual Limit”). In the event that the current Operating Expenses of the Fund, as accrued each month, exceed its Annual Limit, the Advisor will pay to the Fund, on a monthly basis, the excess expense within the first ten days of the month following the month in which such Operating Expenses were incurred (each payment, a “Fund Reimbursement Payment”).

All references to Real Property Taxes during a particular year shall be deemed to refer to taxes accrued during such year, including supplemental tax bills, regardless of when they are actually assessed and without regard to when such taxes are payable. The obligation of Tenant to pay for supplemental taxes effective during the Term shall survive the expiration or early termination of this Lease. Nothing contained in this Lease shall require Tenant to pay any franchise, corporate, estate or inheritance tax of Landlord, or any income, profits or revenue tax or charge upon the net income of Landlord or any documentary transfer tax.

Prior to delinquency, Tenant shall pay any and all taxes and assessments levied upon Tenant's Property (defined below in Section 10) located or installed in or about the Premises by, or on behalf of Tenant. To the extent any such taxes or assessments are not separately assessed or billed to Tenant, then Tenant shall pay the amount thereof as invoiced by Landlord.
