attributable to the period following the Closing Date shall be credited to Buyer.  Buyer shall be credited in escrow with (i) any portion of rental agreement or lease deposits in Seller’s possession with respect to the Property which are refundable to the tenants and (ii) rent prepaid beyond the Closing Date.  Buyer shall not be entitled to any interest on rental agreement or lease deposits or prepaid rent accrued on or before the Closing Date.  Seller shall be credited in escrow with any refundable deposits or bonds held by any utility, governmental agency or service contractor with respect to the Property.  Seller shall also be credited in escrow with any prepaid real estate taxes and assessments allocable to the period after the Closing Date.  In addition, Seller shall be credited in escrow with any leasing commissions, free rental periods or tenant improvement or other allowances paid or incurred by Seller during the Contract Period to the extent such amounts (x) were disclosed in the copies of the Leases delivered to Buyer or were otherwise disclosed to Buyer during the Inspection Period, and (y) are equitably allocable to that portion of the stabilized term (i.e., the term following the tenant’s entry into occupancy and commencement of unabated rental obligations) of any new or existing Lease of the Property following the Closing Date.  To the extent disclosed to Buyer by Seller, Buyer shall assume all obligations for any such leasing commissions, free rental periods or tenant improvement or other allowances payable following the Closing Date.
