• c. Buyer and Seller must pro rate the real estate taxes, if any, which are
<br /> payable in the year of closing on a per-diem basis using a calendar year, to the Date of
<br /> Closing. If the Date of Closing occurs in the year in which Seller records the plat of
<br /> NORTHSTAR BUSINESS PARK, Seller will have already paid any real estate taxes due
<br /> and payable in that year in connection with the recording of the plat of NORTHSTAR
<br /> BUSINESS PARK. For purposes of the pro-ration described in this Section 14(c), the
<br /> real estate taxes due and payable with respect to the property in the year in which Seller
<br /> records the plat of NORTHSTAR BUSINESS PARK,will be calculated by multiplying
<br /> the amount of the real estate taxes due and payable in that year for all of the property
<br /> subject to the plat of NORTHSTAR BUSINESS PARK by a fraction the numerator of
<br /> which is the square footage of the Property and a denominator of which is the square
<br /> footage of all lots in NORTHSTAR BUSINESS PARK. If the Date of Closing occurs in
<br /> a year following the year in which the plat of NORTHSTAR BUSINESS PARK is
<br /> recorded, the current year real estate tax information will be used, if available, and if
<br /> current year real estate tax information is not available using the amount of the real estate
<br /> taxes due and payable in the year immediately preceding the year of closing. Any such
<br /> pro-ration is final and no subsequent adjustments, refunds or additional payments must be
<br /> made.
