by it or incurred by any other occupants prior to the Closing Date.
15.
TAXES: Seller shall pay a pro-rata share of taxes on the Property (real and personal) for
the year of Closing, and all unpaid taxes for prior years. To determine the pro-rata share
of taxes for the current year, payable in the next year, the following procedure shall be
used:
A. The annual tax payment shown on the most recent tax figure for the Property
shall be divided by 12 to determine the amount of tax owed for each month.
B. The total number of months in the current year shall be determined and
multiplied by the monthly amount of tax owed. That figure shall be the portion of taxes
to be paid by the Seller on the pro-rata basis.
C. When the Closing Date is on or before the 15th of a month, no taxes will be
due for that month. When the Closing Date is after the 15th of the month, a full month's
taxes shall be due for that month and shall be added to the Seller's pro-rata share.
