shall be prorated to the date of closing. If the closing shall
occur before the tax rate is fixed for the then current year,

rate of the preceding year applied to the latest assessed
valuation.  Subsequent to the closing, when the tax rate is
fixed for the year in which the closing occurs, Seller and

writing to Seller such items as found not in working condition
prior to taking of possession thereof, or six (6) days prior
to closing, whichever is first. Unless Buyer reports failures
within said period, he shall be deemed to have waived Seller's
warranty as to failures not reported. Valid reported failures

payable by virtue of such loss or damage, or of cancelling the
Contract and receiving return of deposit(s) made hereunder.

confirm compliance with this standard.
