All rebates or reductions in Property Taxes received subsequent to Closing relating to periods prior to Closing, net of costs of obtaining the same, shall be prorated as of the Redemption Apportionment Date, when received. If as of the Redemption Apportionment Date the Company Projects or any portion thereof shall be affected by any special or general assessments which are or may become payable in installments of which any installment is then a lien and has become due and payable, such currently due and payable installment(s) shall be allocated to the period prior to the Redemption Apportionment Date and all installments not due and payable on the Redemption Apportionment Date shall be allocated to the period after the Redemption Apportionment Date.
15
8.4.5 Utilities.

Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, to the extent any Leasing Costs or Building Capital Expenditures set forth on Schedule 8.4.7.5 are subsequently paid by the Company or the applicable Owner Entity between October 1, 2014 and the Redemption Apportionment Date, then either PKY or CalSTRS shall reimburse the Company for such Leasing Costs and Building Capital Expenditures because their impact (as set forth on Schedule 8.4.7.5) was fully accounted for as of September 30, 2014, and at Closing such reimbursement shall be made in connection with the Final Closing Statement pursuant to Section 8.4.15.1 below.
(b) To the extent any Leasing Costs and Building Capital Expenditures that are not set forth on Schedule 8.4.7.5 are paid between October 1, 2014 and the Closing Date, such Leasing Costs and Building Capital Expenditures shall not be adjusted at Closing, but rather shall be adjusted in connection with the preparation of the Final Closing Statement pursuant to Section 8.4.15.1 below.

If the parties fail to fully agree on the Preliminary Closing Statement, the Redemption Closing shall proceed on the basis of the line items in such statement that are agreed upon by the parties, with any open items (to the extent of any dispute) on such statement to be resolved as part of the resolution of the Final Closing Statement. On or before the date which is ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, the Company and PKY will prepare a final closing statement for each Property reasonably satisfactory to CalSTRS in form and substance (collectively, the “Final Closing Statement”) setting forth the final determination of the adjustments and prorations provided for herein and setting forth any items which are not capable of being determined at such time (and the manner in which such items shall be determined and paid) including Leasing Costs and Building Capital Expenditures for the period from October 1, 2014 through the Closing Date in accordance with Section 8.4.7.

18
PKY and CalSTRS, which items shall be determined and paid in the manner set forth in the Final Closing Statement and except for other amounts payable hereunder pursuant to provisions which survive the Closing. Prior to and following the Closing Date, each party shall provide the other with such information as the other shall reasonably request subject to any applicable confidentiality restrictions in order to make the preliminary and final adjustments and prorations provided for herein. If the Company and PKY and CalSTRS fail to agree upon a Final Closing Statement, the disputed items shall be resolved by a mutually acceptable nationally recognized independent accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”), whose determination shall be final and binding upon the parties. The Accounting Firm shall resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after the disputed items have been submitted to it. The costs, fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by the Company and PKY, on one hand, and CalSTRS, on the other.
8.4.15.2 Tenant Reimbursements and Audits
8.4.15.2.1 Notwithstanding Section 8.4.15.1 above, any reconciliation with tenants under Leases for reimbursable operating expenses, utilities and any other tenant reimbursements thereof for any calendar years prior to the Closing Date and that portion of the calendar year prior to the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Reimbursements”) shall be pursuant to this Section 8.4.15.2. Any such reconciliation shall be prepared or caused to be prepared by CalSTRS, in the case of the CalSTRS Projects, and the Company in the case of the PKY Projects and shall be completed no later than April 1, 2015. CalSTRS, in the case of the CalSTRS Projects, and the Company, in the case of the PKY Projects, shall provide to the Company or CalSTRS, as applicable, the amount of any Pre-Closing Reimbursements due from or to each tenant and shall provide to the Company or CalSTRS, as applicable, all reasonably requested documentation in connection therewith. CalSTRS, in the case of the CalSTRS Projects, and the Company in the case of the PKY Projects shall cause the applicable Owner Entity to then invoice each tenant for such Pre-Closing Reimbursements with the next invoice such Owner Entity sends to each tenant. If the amount of Pre-Closing Reimbursements collected with respect to a particular Company Project for such prior time period is less than the amount of reimbursable Pre-Closing Reimbursements paid by the applicable Owner Entity for such period, then the applicable Owner Entity shall bill such tenants for such amounts and shall pay any such amounts received 60% to CalSTRS and 40% to PKY (a portion of which shall be treated as an adjustment to the Membership Interest Purchase Price pursuant to Section 8.4.1). If the amount of Pre-Closing Reimbursements collected by an Owner Entity for such prior calendar year exceeds the amount of Pre-Closing Reimbursements expenses paid by such Owner Entity with respect to such period, then, to the extent required under the terms of the Leases, CalSTRS shall remit 60% of such excess amount to PKY, if relating to a PKY Project, and the Company shall remit 40% of such excess amount to CalSTRS if relating to a CalSTRS Project (a portion of which shall be
19
treated as an adjustment to the Membership Interest Purchase Price pursuant to Section 8.4.1).
8.4.15.2.2 To the extent that any tenant conducts an audit respecting rent or any other charges paid by tenant for any periods prior to the Closing Date, the applicable Owner Entity shall be solely responsible for responding to such audit request and complying with all requirements under the Leases (and at law or in equity) in connection therewith. If any tenant becomes entitled to a refund of rent or any other charge with respect to a period prior to the Closing Date, any such refunds due to such Tenant shall be borne 60% by CalSTRS and 40% by PKY collectively, to be shared among them pursuant to the principles set forth in Section 8.4.1, a portion of which may be treated as an adjustment to the Membership Interest Purchase Price pursuant to Section 8.4.1.
8.4.15.2.3 PKY Austin and CalSTRS acknowledge that certain employee costs that may be passed through to tenants of the Company Projects that have been incurred prior to the date hereof as operating expenses have not yet been passed through to tenants.. As these costs are passed through and paid by tenants subsequent to the Closing Date they shall be treated as collected Rents and allocated between CalSTRS and the Company in accordance Section 8.4.3 as and when received.
8.4.16 Interest. If any payment to be made after the Closing under this Section 8.4 shall not be paid when due hereunder, the same shall bear interest (which shall be paid together with the applicable payment hereunder) from the date due until so paid at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate (as such rate may vary from time to time) as reported in The Wall Street Journal plus five percent (5%) (the "Default Rate"). To the extent a payment provision in this Section 8.4 does not specify a period for payment, then for purposes hereof such payment shall be due within ten (10) calendar days of the date such payment obligation is triggered.

The parties agree and acknowledge that the intent of this allocation is for CalSTRS, on the one hand, and PKY, on the other hand, to bear the liability for Income Taxes for the period beginning after the Closing Date attributable to the ownership and operation of the CalSTRS Projects and the PKY Projects, respectively, and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with that purpose. Income Taxes, as necessary, shall be adjusted either in connection with the Preliminary Closing Statement or the Final Closing Statement (or otherwise if not possible to be adjusted in connection with the Preliminary Closing Statement or Final Closing Statement). To the extent permitted by law, the taxable years of the Company, Portfolio Holdings, each of the Mezzanine Owners and each of the Owner Entities for Income Taxes shall be closed as of the Closing Date.
