refusal as heretofore provided. Tenant's offer shall be
noncontinqent as to due diligence and property investigation

hereof, Tenant shall be entitled to receive in cash at the Closing
of the sale the following: (a) Tenant's accumulated capital
investment in the property and accumulated losses, if any, existing
at the time of sale, plus interest thereon from the time incurred
at the prime rate published by the Wall street Journal, plus four

basis profits to offset Tenant's cumulative losses and capital
expenditures, plus interest, then in such event Tenant's Investment
