and No /100 Dollars ($1,250,000.00) gross revenue annually prior to the City's
acquisition of the same, but not later than two (2) years from the issuance of the

between final completion and issuance of the certificate of occupancy and City's
closing. By way of example, if the City closes within nine (9) months, then the Public
Parking Support Reconciliation shall be based on a maximum of seventy-five percent
(75 %) of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No /100 Dollars ($250,000.00) or One
Hundred Eighty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred and No /100 Dollars ($187,500.00),
assuming that the Parking Unit threshold is Nine Hundred Thirty-Seven Thousand Five
Hundred and No /100 Dollars ($937,500.00) and not One Million Two Hundred Fifty
6
Thousand and No /100 Dollars ($1,250,000.00) based on the reduced timeframe

as of the date of Closing. All current, pending and /or levied condominium assessments
or fees which were enacted, approved or originated prior to Closing shall be paid by
Developer. The City shall pay assessments and fees levied after the Closing date. For

B. Taxes. Closing agent shall collect all ad valorem taxes uncollected
but due through the date prior to closing and deliver same to the Pinellas County Tax

other utilities (collectively, "Utilities "), the parties shall endeavor to have the respective
companies providing the Utilities read the meters for the Utilities on or immediately prior
to the Closing date. Developer shall be responsible for all charges based on such final
meter reading, and the City shall be responsible for all charges relating to the Parking
Unit thereafter. If such readings are not obtainable, then, until such time as readings are
obtained, charges for all Utilities for which readings were not obtained shall be prorated
as of the Closing Date based upon the per diem rate obtained by using the last period
and bills for such Utilities that are available. Upon the taking of a subsequent actual
reading, such apportionment shall be adjusted and reprorated to reflect the actual per
diem rate for the billing period prior to Closing and Developer or the City, as the case
may be, shall promptly deliver to the other the amount determined to be due with
respect to the Parking Unit upon such adjustment. To the extent Utilities are not
