5.5 Adjustments and Prorations. As to each parcel of Real Property and the receipts and disbursements associated therewith receipts and disbursements of the Property will be prorated as of 12:01 a.m. local time on the Closing Date and the Purchase Price will be adjusted on the following basis:
(a) Rents. Except as otherwise provided herein as to CAM Charges and percentage rent, all rents and other charges other than CAM Charges (“Rent”) receivable from Tenants of the Property earned and attributable to the period prior to but not including the Closing Date will be retained by Seller to the extent that such Rents have been collected on or before the Closing Date; Rents earned and attributable to the period beginning on and including the Closing Date and thereafter will be paid to Buyer. Rents earned by the Property prior to and not including the Closing Date but received by the Buyer on or after the Closing Date will be paid to Seller; provided that the Buyer will have no obligation to enforce collection of such Rents. Notwithstanding any characterization made or position taken by any tenant with respect to the application of Rents paid by it, all Rents received by Buyer on or after the Closing Date shall be deemed attributable to the amounts payable under the applicable Tenant Lease, in the order of age, with the payments received attributed first to the newest amount then due and payable.
At Closing, percentage rents shall be separately apportioned based on the percentage rents actually collected from each Tenant during the percentage rent fiscal period set forth in its respective Tenant Lease for the determination of percentage rent. Such apportionment shall be made separately for each Tenant who is obligated to pay percentage rent. Any percentage rent received from a Tenant during its percentage rent fiscal period shall be applied as follows: (a) Buyer shall be entitled to a prorata portion of such percentage rent payment based on the number of days within the applicable percentage rent fiscal period that Buyer owned the demised premises, and (b) Seller shall be entitled to a prorata portion of such percentage rent payment based on the number of days within the applicable percentage rent fiscal period that Seller owned the demised premises. Until the adjustment described below is made, all percentage rent amounts received by Seller before the Closing Date shall be retained by Seller, except that all percentage rent payments received by either party for the month in which the Closing Date occurs shall be prorated as between Seller and Buyer based upon
23
the number of days in that month and the party receiving such percentage rent payment shall remit to (if received on or after the Closing Date) or credit (if received before the Closing Date) the other party its proportionate share. Except as aforesaid, all percentage rent amounts received by Buyer on or after the Closing Date shall be retained by Buyer until the final adjustment of percentage rent as described below and determination of Seller’s allocable share thereof.
No later than the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Final Rent Adjustment Date”), Seller and Buyer shall make a final adjustment in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.5(a) of percentage rent and other items of Rents for which final adjustments or prorations could not be determined at the Closing, if any, because of the lack of actual statements, bills or invoices for the current period, the unavailability of final sales figures or amounts for percentage rent or any other reason. Any net adjustment in favor of Buyer or Seller is to be paid in cash by the other no later than thirty (30) days after such final adjustment has been made. Seller and Buyer will cooperate in making the required adjustments, including making available the books and records in their respective possession that may be necessary to review in order to complete this reconciliation.
(b) CAM Charges. To the extent Tenants pay monthly estimates of common area maintenance charges, insurance, taxes and similar expenses (collectively, “CAM Charges”) with an adjustment at the end of the rent fiscal period applicable to CAM Charges under their respective Tenant Leases, such CAM Charges shall be prorated in accordance with this Section. Until the adjustment described in this Section is made, all amounts received by Seller as interim or estimated payments of CAM Charges before the Closing Date shall be retained by Seller, except that all interim estimated payments of CAM Charges received by either party for the month in which the Closing Date occurs shall be prorated as between Seller and Buyer based upon the number of days in that month and the party receiving the interim payment shall remit to (if received on or after the Closing Date) or credit (if received before the Closing Date) the other party its proportionate share. Except as aforesaid, all amounts received by Buyer as interim or estimated payments of CAM Charges on or after the Closing Date shall be retained by Buyer until year-end adjustment and determination of Seller’s allocable share thereof. No later than the Final Rent Adjustment Date, Seller’s allocable share of actual CAM Charges for Tenant Leases in effect as of the Closing Date shall be determined by multiplying the total payments due from each Tenant for the fiscal period applicable to CAM Charges (the sum of interim or estimated payments plus or minus year-end adjustments) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days within that portion of the fiscal period prior to the Closing Date in which the applicable Tenant Lease is in effect, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire fiscal period (or that portion of the fiscal period in which the applicable Tenant Lease is in effect). If, on the basis of amounts actually incurred and the estimated payments received by Seller prior to the Closing Date, Seller has retained amounts in excess of its allocable share, it shall remit, within thirty (30) days after notice from Buyer of the excess owed Buyer, such excess to Buyer. If, on the basis of the foregoing amounts, Seller has retained less than its allocable share, Buyer shall remit, within thirty (30) days after notice from Seller of the amount owed Seller, such amount to Seller.
(c) Other Receipts. All other income and receipts of the Property shall be prorated at the Closing effective as of the Closing Date, and appropriate cash adjustments shall be made by Buyer and Seller.
24
(d) Security Deposits and Prepaid Rents. On the Closing Date, Seller (through and in cooperation with Escrow Agent) will credit to the Buyer an amount of money equal to the balance of all refundable security deposits and prepaid rents held by Seller with respect to Tenants occupying the Property. In no event may Seller, on or after the Effective Date, apply any security deposits to amounts owed to Seller without Buyer’s prior written approval, which Buyer shall not unreasonably withhold; provided, however, that Seller, without Buyer’s approval, may apply security deposits to amounts owed by Tenants under Tenant Leases that expire or are terminated prior to Closing and where the Tenant no longer occupies the space covered by such Tenant Lease.
(e) Tenant Improvement Allowances, Tenant Inducements and Brokers’ Commissions. To the extent at Closing there are any allowances Discounted Base Rent, unpaid tenant improvement allowances or other tenant inducements (including but not limited to, tenant improvement and finish work and moving allowances) or brokers’ commissions for Tenant Leases executed on or before the Effective Date (whether or not included in the Disclosure Letter), Buyer shall be responsible for the payment thereof, but only to the extent that Seller shall credit Buyer the amount of any such Discounted Base Rent (assuming a Base Rent equal to the amount payable immediately following the ending of the Discounted Base Rent period), unpaid tenant improvement allowances, tenant inducements or brokers’ commissions. To the extent at Closing there are any allowances for Discounted Base Rent, unpaid tenant improvement allowances or other tenant inducements (including but not limited to, tenant improvement and finish work and moving allowances) or brokers’ commissions for Tenant Leases executed after the Effective Date of this Agreement or identified as Additional Assumed Obligations, Buyer shall be responsible for such Discounted Base Rent and for the payment of such unpaid tenant improvement allowances or brokers’ commissions with no credit to Buyer from Seller for such amounts. If any new Tenant Lease made after August 31, 2012, any extension made after August 31, 2012 of an existing Tenant Lease, or any exercise of an option after August 31, 2012 under an existing Tenant Lease provides for a discount of the Base Rent thereunder by more than twenty-five percent (25%) from the Base Rent for the period immediately following the discounted rent period (for reasons other than a change in the area of the demised premises or similar explanation for the discount or other reduction in Base Rent), the amount of the discount shall be called “Discounted Base Rent”.
(f) Accounts Payable and Expenses. As of the Closing Date, Buyer shall assume the Assumed Liabilities, without offset to or deduction from the Purchase Price. Sums due for any other accounts payable and expenses which were owed or incurred by Seller with respect to the Property prior to the Closing Date will be paid by Seller. Buyer will furnish to Seller any bills for such period received after the Closing Date for payment, and Buyer will have no further obligation with respect thereto. All accounts payable or expenses incurred by Buyer on or after the Closing Date will be paid by Buyer. Any account payable or expense which pertains to the month during which Closing occurs, or to any other period the span of which includes the Closing Date, will be prorated between Seller and Buyer, based on the number of days in such month or other period before (but not including) and after (and including) the Closing Date.
(g) Property Taxes. All real and personal property ad valorem taxes and installments of special assessments, if any, for the fiscal years preceding the year in which the Closing Date occurs will be paid by Seller. All real and personal property ad valorem taxes and
25
special assessments, if any, whether payable in installments or not, for the fiscal year in which the Closing Date occurs will be prorated by Escrow Agent to (but not including) the Closing Date, based on the latest available tax rate and assessed valuation. All real and personal property ad valorem taxes and installments of special assessments, if any, for any fiscal years following the year in which the Closing Date occurs will be paid by Buyer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller will be responsible for any rollback or retroactive taxes owed with respect to periods up to (but not including) the Closing Date, and Buyer will be responsible for any rollback or retroactive taxes owed with respect to periods on and after the Closing Date.
(h) Utility Charges. All utility charges, if any, will be prorated to (but not including) the Closing Date and, to the extent practicable, Buyer will obtain a final billing therefor. All utility security deposits made by Seller, if any, will be retained by Seller.
(i) Post-Closing Adjustments. If at any time within twelve (12) months following the Closing either party discovers any items which should have been included in the adjustments and prorations described in this Section 5.5 but which were omitted therefrom, or any material error in the computation of such adjustments, or any items that could not be calculated prior to Closing, such items shall be properly adjusted as of the Closing Date without interest thereon, and the applicable party shall promptly pay to the other the amount determined to be owing by reason of such proration.
(j) Survival. The provisions of this Section 5.5 shall survive the Closing hereunder.
(k) 143 Hekili Street Development Purchase Price Credit. Upon completion, the 143 Hekili Street Development will consists of six (6) separate rentable spaces. Seller has previously executed leases for three (3) of such spaces with various tenants, and the other three (3) spaces remain un-leased as of the Effective Date. Seller agrees to provide Buyer with a credit at Closing against the Purchase Price with regard to the 143 Hekili Street Development in accordance with the attached Exhibit 5.5(k), as follows:
(i) As shown on Exhibit 5.5(k), the aggregate amount of tenant improvement allowances, brokers’ commissions and rent abatement for the three executed leases equals One Hundred Thirteen Thousand Nine Hundred Thirty-Four and No/100 Dollars ($113,934.00). Seller therefore agrees to provide Buyer with a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing of said aggregate amount, provided, however, that such credit shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar by any payments made by Seller prior to the Closing Date towards such costs.
(ii) As shown on Exhibit 5.5(k), Seller estimates the aggregate monthly market rents for the three (3) un-leased spaces to be $11,538.00 per month and estimates the aggregate amount of tenant improvement allowances and brokers’ commissions for such spaces to be $147,770.00. Based upon a credit of six (6) months of rent, Seller therefore agrees to provide Buyer with a total credit against the Purchase Price at Closing of Two Hundred Sixteen Thousand Nine Hundred
26
Ninety-Eight and No/100 Dollars ($216,998.00) with regard to said un-leased spaces. The parties agree that said amount is fair and reasonable as of the Effective Date, and shall not be increased or reduced by the terms of any leases which may be executed after the Effective Date for such currently un-leased spaces.
5.6 Collection of Rents after Closing. For a period of ninety (90) days after the Closing, Buyer shall bill Tenants for all amounts due under the Tenant Leases accruing prior to the Closing. To the extent any such Rents or other charges are collected by Buyer, they shall be promptly remitted to Seller to the extent Rents and other charges for periods after Closing are current. After the expiration of such 90‑day period, Seller may pursue collection as to any unpaid Rent or other amount owed by Tenant, provided that Seller shall have no right after Closing to terminate any Tenant Lease or any Tenant’s use or occupancy under any Tenant Lease and provided further that, during such 90-day period, Seller may continue to pursue collection efforts commenced prior to Closing. Upon request, Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller with respect to Seller’s collection efforts, provided, however, that Seller shall reimburse Buyer for related reasonable third-party expenses. Seller is not restricted in any way from collecting any Rent or other amount owed by past tenants no longer in occupancy on the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing hereunder.
5.7 Tax Matters. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, (1) Seller shall be responsible for all Taxes and interest that is ultimately owed by Seller to any Governmental Authority and (2) any Tax refunds that are ultimately received by Seller and any amounts credited against Tax to which Seller becomes entitled, together with interest thereon, that relate to the Tax periods prior to and including the Closing Date shall be for the benefit of Seller. Seller shall have the right in its sole discretion at its own cost and expense to contest and resolve any Tax matter pertaining to Tax periods prior to the Closing Date and, upon request, Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in its efforts to resolve and settle such Tax matters. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer after the Closing Date with respect to Taxes owed in respect of the Property. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing hereunder.
5.8 Brokerage Fees.
(a) Seller is represented in the Contemplated Transactions by Seller’s Broker and shall be solely responsible for paying all fees, commissions and other compensation to Seller’s Broker. Seller will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Buyer for, and will pay to Buyer the amount of, any Damages arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with any claim by any Person for brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions or similar payments based upon any agreement or understanding alleged to have been made by any such Person with Seller (or any Person acting on Seller’s behalf) in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions.
(b) Buyer will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Seller for, and will pay to Seller the amount of any Damages arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with any claim by any Person for brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions or similar payments based upon any agreement or understanding alleged to have been made by such Person with Buyer (or

The Castle Family Transaction shall close concurrently with the Contemplated Transactions; provided, however, that this condition shall be deemed satisfied if the failure of the Castle Family Transaction to close shall result from a breach by Buyer of its obligations in connection with the Castle Family Transaction.
36
10.8 Encumbrances to be Addressed. Seller shall have caused to be removed or otherwise addressed all Encumbrances to be Addressed in the manner agreed by Seller pursuant to Section 3.2(c).

(e) By Seller, if any of the conditions in Section 11 have not been satisfied as of the Scheduled Closing Date or if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes impossible (other than through the failure of Seller to comply with Seller’s obligations under this Agreement or the failure of the Castle Family to satisfy its obligations under the agreements evidencing the Castle Family Transaction) and Seller has not waived such condition on or before the Scheduled Closing Date;

13. | ADDITIONAL COVENANTS |
13.1 Tax Regulations. To the extent necessary to comply with U.S. federal tax laws and regulations, including Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4(b)(3)(iii), the parties hereto (and each employee, representative, or other agent of any party hereto) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. federal income tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any party hereto relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. For purposes of this Section, “tax structure” means any fact that may be relevant to understanding the federal income tax treatment of the transaction. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing hereunder.
39
13.2 7-Eleven Transaction. It is the desire of both Seller and Buyer to include the 7-Eleven Property in the Property covered by this Agreement. However, because of the right of first refusal to purchase the 7-Eleven Property held by the lessee of the 7-Eleven Property, the Seller is required to isolate the purchase price and other material terms of the Seller’s and Buyer’s agreement as to the sale of the 7-Eleven Property for purposes of said lessee’s right of first refusal. Therefore, the parties have entered into the 7-Eleven Agreement, which both Seller and Buyer hereby acknowledge represents, to the extent determinable, said isolated purchase price, terms and conditions. Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of said lessee’s exercise or waiver of its right to purchase the 7-Eleven Property.
(a) In the event that said lessee waives its right to purchase, Seller and Buyer hereby agree that the 7-Eleven Property shall thereafter be included in the Property of this Agreement, all deposits made by Buyer under the 7-Eleven Agreement transferred to this Agreement and the amount of the Deposit increased thereby, and the Purchase Price hereunder increased by the amount of the purchase price under the 7-Eleven Agreement. The 7-Eleven Agreement will thereafter be considered to be cancelled and superseded by this Agreement.
(b) In the event the lessee of the 7-Eleven Property exercises its right of first refusal, but ultimately fails to close the purchase of the 7-Eleven Property, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing of such failure, whereupon Buyer shall have the right, by giving Seller written notice not later than fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the foregoing notice from Seller, that Buyer elects to purchase the 7-Eleven Property. Upon Buyer’s election, Seller and Buyer shall close the purchase as soon as practicable, but not later than thirty (30) days after such election, in accordance with the Purchase Price set forth in the 7-Eleven Agreement, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, except for terms that obviously are inapplicable (such as the Closing Date under this Agreement).
13.3 Retention of and Access to Records. For a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, Seller shall retain the Retained Records and Buyer shall retain the Transferred Records. Buyer shall make the Transferred Records available to Seller or Seller’s Representatives for inspection or copying, during normal business hours and upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice by Seller or a Seller Related Party. Seller shall make the Retained Records (other than the Excluded Records) available to Buyer or Buyer’s Representatives, for inspection or copying, during normal business hours and upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice by Buyer or a Buyer Related Party. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller shall cooperate with Buyer and its auditors (provided that such cooperation shall be at no out of pocket expense to third parties payable by Seller) for a period of ninety (90) days after Closing to permit Buyer and its auditor to prepare complete audited 2012 and unaudited 2013 financial statements of Seller. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing hereunder.
13.4 Environmental Matters. As set forth in the Disclosure Letter, Tesoro Hawaii, LLC, successor to Tesoro Hawaii Corporation (“Tesoro”) has documented at least one and possibly several Releases of Hazardous Materials at a portion of the Real Property commonly referred to as 1143 Kailua Road (the “Tesoro Property”), and the Tesoro Property contained one or more underground storage tanks and related facilities and equipment, which have since been removed
40
(“Tesoro’s UST System”). Tesoro’s and Seller’s rights and obligations with respect to Tesoro’s UST System, the removal of Tesoro’s UST System, and any Hazardous Materials, Hazardous Activity or Releases upon the Tesoro Property are set forth in a Third Amendment to Lease and an Access Agreement, each dated May 29, 2012, by and between Seller and Tesoro (the “Tesoro Agreements”). Tesoro has not yet completed its obligations under the Tesoro Agreements, and Buyer and Seller agree that, at Closing, Seller will assign to Buyer, and Buyer shall assume, all rights and obligations of Seller under the Tesoro Agreements. In amplification of, and without limiting the provisions of Section 4.10, Buyer assumes all risks associated with, and releases Seller and the Seller Indemnified Parties of all liability with respect to, Tesoro’s UST System, and any Hazardous Materials, Hazardous Activity or Releases upon the Tesoro Property.
13.5 Broken Title Matters. The Title Reports contained in the virtual data room maintained by Seller’s Broker pertaining to those certain parcels of Real Property bearing Tax Map Key Numbers (1) 4-2-038-034; 035; 036 and 042 indicate that there are unresolved breaks in Seller’s chain of legal title to those parcels. During the Due Diligence Period, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate to investigate such broken title issues and possible ways in which Buyer’s and Seller’s concerns regarding the breaks in the chain of title might be addressed. In the absence of further agreement between Seller and Buyer as to such broken title issues, (a) Seller makes no representations or warranties of good title in this Agreement with regard to said parcels, (b) resolution of such title defects shall not be a condition to Closing for either party hereto, and (c) Seller shall quitclaim said parcels to Buyer at Closing subject to said title defects. Seller agrees that the conveyance to Buyer pursuant to Seller’s Closing Documents includes, without representation or warranty, all rights of Seller, if any, pertaining to the Property as may be necessary or desirable to assist Buyer in obtaining clear title to the aforesaid parcels. Seller will cooperate with Buyer’s efforts after Closing to obtain clear title to such parcels so long as Seller either incurs no expense or Buyer reimburses Seller for such expense. Such cooperation may include, without limitation, execution of additional documents quitclaiming to Buyer rights of Seller in respect of such parcels and providing testimony in legal proceedings. The provisions of this Section 13.5 shall survive Closing.
14. | REMEDIES |
14.1 Limitations on Liability for Breaches of Representations and Warranties. There shall be no right to indemnification, payment of Damages or other remedy based on any representations or warranties in this Agreement, any supplemental disclosures made by Seller pursuant to Section 8.7, and other certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement if any Knowledge is acquired by Buyer or Seller, as applicable, before the Closing Date with respect to the inaccuracy of or non-compliance with, any such representation or warranty. All representations and warranties in this Agreement, any supplemental disclosures made by Seller pursuant to Section 8.7, and other certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement will survive the Closing for a period of nine (9) months following the Closing Date (the “Survival Period”). No party will have any liability with respect to any representation or warranty unless on or before the expiration of the Survival Period the other party gives notice of a claim specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then Known.
41
14.2 Buyer’s Remedies.
(c) Specific Performance Indemnification and Payment of Damages By Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer shall have the remedy of specific performance in the event of any Breach by Seller under this Agreement. In addition, subject to the provisions of Sections 14.1 and 14.2(b), Seller will indemnify and hold harmless Buyer for, and will pay to Buyer the amount of Damages arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with:
(i) Any Breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement, the Disclosure Letter, and the supplements to the Disclosure Letter, any certificate delivered by Seller pursuant to this Agreement, or the Seller’s Closing Documents;
(ii) Any Breach by Seller of any covenant or obligation of Seller in this Agreement; or
(iii) Any claim by any Person for brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions or similar payments based upon any agreement or understanding made by Seller with such Person in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions.
(d) Limitations on Buyer’s Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, under no circumstances shall Buyer be entitled to consequential, exemplary or punitive damages. Except for claims of fraud, gross negligence or intentional misrepresentation, Seller shall have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to the Breach of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty under this Agreement, until the total of all Damages (excluding any consequential, exemplary or punitive damages) in the aggregate with respect to such matters plus the total of all damages with respect to breaches by the Castle Family of the Castle Family Transaction (collectively, the “Buyer’s Aggregate Damages”) exceeds One Million and No/100 U.S. Dollars (U.S. $1,000,000.00) (the “Damage Floor Amount”). In the event that the Buyer’s Aggregate Damages exceeds the Damage Floor Amount, Seller and the Castle Family shall each be liable to Buyer solely for their pro rata shares of such excess, in proportion to the percentage of Buyer’s Aggregate Damages attributable to their respective transactions, up to a combined maximum of Twenty Million and No/100 U.S. Dollars (US $20,000,000.00) of liability. For purposes of illustration only, (i) in the event that total Damages under this Agreement amounted to $1,800,000.00 and total damages under the Castle Family Transaction amounted to $600,000.00, then Seller’s pro rata share of liability to Buyer would be $1,050.000.00 and the Castle Family’s pro rata share of liability to Buyer would be $350,000.00, and (ii) in the event that total Damages under this Agreement amounted to $18,000,000.00 and total damages under the Castle Family Transaction amounted to $6,000,000.00, then Seller’s pro rata share of liability to Buyer would be $15,000.000.00 and the Castle Family’s pro rata share of liability to Buyer would be $5,000,000.00. Under no circumstances shall Seller or the Castle Family have joint or several liability to Buyer for the entire excess amount, nor shall Buyer have any recourse against either Seller or the Castle Family for the other’s pro rata share of such liability.
42
14.3 Seller’s Remedies.
(a) Indemnification and Payment of Damages By Buyer; Liquidated Damages. Subject to the provisions of Sections 14.1 and 14.3(c), Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless Seller, and will pay to Seller the amount of any Damages arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with:
(i) any Breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement, or in any certificate delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or the Buyer’s Closing Documents;
(ii) any Breach by Buyer of any covenant or obligation of Buyer in this Agreement; or
(iii) any claim by any Person for brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions or similar payments based upon any agreement or understanding made by Buyer with such Person in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions;
provided, however, that if Buyer’s Breach is or results in the failure of Buyer to consummate the purchase of the Property pursuant to this Agreement, then Seller, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 12, and Seller shall be entitled to retain the Deposit as liquidated damages and not as a penalty in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.3(b), in which event Escrow Agent shall immediately deliver the Deposit to Seller.
(b) Liquidated Damages on Account of Buyer’s Failure to Close. PRIOR TO ENTERING INTO THIS TRANSACTION, BUYER AND SELLER HAVE BEEN CONCERNED WITH THE FACT THAT SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGES WILL BE SUFFERED BY SELLER IN THE EVENT BUYER SHALL FAIL TO CONSUMMATE THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS IN BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. WITH THE FLUCTUATION IN LAND VALUES, THE UNPREDICTABLE STATE OF THE ECONOMY AND OF GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS, THE NATURE OF THE REAL ESTATE MARKET IN THE STATE OF HAWAII AND ELSEWHERE, SELLER’S FOREGOING OTHER SALE OPPORTUNITIES, ANY DELAYS IN SELLER’S ABILITY TO SELL THE PROPERTY, THE FLUCTUATING MONEY MARKET FOR REAL ESTATE LOANS OF ALL TYPES, AND OTHER FACTORS WHICH DIRECTLY AFFECT THE VALUE AND MARKETABILITY OF THE PROPERTY, IT IS REALIZED BY THE PARTIES THAT IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICABLE, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, TO ASCERTAIN WITH ANY DEGREE OF CERTAINTY PRIOR TO SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES WHICH WOULD BE SUFFERED BY SELLER IN THE EVENT OF BUYER’S BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY. THE PARTIES, HAVING MADE DILIGENT BUT UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS TO ASCERTAIN THE ACTUAL COMPENSATORY DAMAGES SELLER WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT OF SUCH BREACH, ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE AGREED, AFTER NEGOTIATION, THAT THE REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SAID DAMAGES IS THE DEPOSIT MADE BY BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THE
43
AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT IS FOUR MILLION FOUR HUNDRED FORTY-EIGHT THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS (U.S. $4,448,000.00). IN THE EVENT OF BUYER’S BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY, WHICH FAILURE IS NOT CAUSED BY SELLER’S OWN BREACH, SELLER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND, ON SUCH TERMINATION, SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RETAIN SUCH SUM AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. SAID AMOUNT REPRESENTS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND NOT ANY PENALTY AGAINST BUYER.
(c) Limitations on Seller’s Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, under no circumstances shall Seller be entitled to consequential, exemplary or punitive damages. Except for claims of fraud, gross negligence or intentional misrepresentation, Buyer shall have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to the Breach of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty under this Agreement until the total of all Damages (excluding any consequential, exemplary or punitive damages) in the aggregate with respect to such matters plus the total of all damages with respect to breaches by Buyer of the Castle Family Transaction (collectively, the “Seller’s Aggregate Damages”) exceeds the Damage Floor Amount. In the event that the Seller’s Aggregate Damages exceeds the Damage Floor Amount, Buyer shall be liable to each of Seller and the Castle Family for its respective pro rata share of such excess, which share shall be in proportion to the percentage of Seller’s Aggregate Damages attributable to each of their respective transactions, up to a combined maximum of Twenty Million and No/100 U.S. Dollars (US $20,000,000.00) of liability.
14.4 Exclusive Remedy. Each party’s right to indemnification under this Section 14, and if applicable, Seller’s retention of the Deposit as liquidated damages, shall preclude any other remedy which may be available at law or in equity on account of any Breach. The foregoing sentence, however, shall not preclude either (a) Buyer’s right to specific performance as may be provided at law or in equity or (b) with respect to the covenants, agreements and obligations of Buyer and Seller under Sections 16.2 and 16.3, a party’s right to specific performance, injunctive relief or any other available equitable relief.
14.5 Waiver of Trial by Jury. Seller and Buyer, to the extent they may legally do so, hereby expressly waive any right to trial by jury of any claim, demand, action, cause of action, or proceeding arising under or with respect to this Agreement, or in any way connected with, or related to, or incidental to, the dealings of the parties hereto with respect to this Agreement or the transactions related hereto or thereto, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, and irrespective of whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise. To the extent they may legally do so, Seller and Buyer hereby agree that any such claim, demand, action, cause of action, or proceeding shall be decided by a court trial without a jury and that any part hereto may file an original counterpart or a copy of this Section with any court as written evidence of the consent of the other party or parties hereto to the waiver of its or their right to trial by jury.
14.6 Survival. The provisions of this Section 14 shall survive the Closing hereunder.
44
15. | RISK OF LOSS; EMINENT DOMAIN |
15.1 Waiver of Uniform Act. Seller and Buyer hereby waive the Uniform Vendor and Purchaser Risk Act, HRS Chapter 508. If, prior to the Closing, the Property or any portion thereof is damaged by fire, vandalism, acts of God or other casualty or cause (“Casualty”), or the Property or any portion thereof is taken or made subject to condemnation, eminent domain or other governmental acquisition proceedings (a “Taking”) then the procedures of this Section 15 shall apply.
15.2 Obligated to Close. If the cost of required repair or replacement related to or arising out of the Casualty or if the value of the Taking is Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 U.S. Dollars (US $7,500,000.00) or less, Buyer shall proceed to close and take the Property as diminished by such events, subject to a reduction in the Purchase Price in the event of a Casualty, which reduction shall be equal to the applicable deductible amount under Seller’s insurance policy, not to exceed the cost of repair or replacement (the “Deductible”) and, in the event that insurance proceeds are insufficient to cover such repair or replacement, the amount by which the cost to repair or replace the Casualty (not in excess of Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 U.S. Dollars (US $7,500,000.00) exceeds the insurance proceeds. All insurance proceeds on account of the Casualty or awards on account of a Taking shall be assigned to Buyer at Closing.
15.3 Buyer’s Option to Close. If the cost of repair or replacement related to or arising out of the Casualty is greater than Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 U.S. Dollars (US $7,500,000.00) (whether or not the cause of the Casualty is a casualty that is covered by Seller’s insurance policy), or if the value of the Taking is greater than Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 U.S. Dollars (US $7,500,000.00), then in either of such events Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Seller by the earlier of the Scheduled Closing Date or thirty (30) days after such Casualty or Taking is discovered. If this Agreement is not so terminated, then Buyer and Seller shall proceed to close the Contemplated Transactions subject to a reduction in the Purchase Price equal to the Deductible (not to exceed the cost of repair or replacement) in the event of a Casualty, and all insurance proceeds on account of the Casualty or awards on account of the Taking shall be assigned to Buyer at Closing.
15.4 Determination of Cost of Casualty or Taking. The cost of repair or replacement related to or arising out of the Casualty or the value of the Taking shall be determined by Seller and Buyer. If Buyer and Seller are unable to agree, the value of the Taking shall be determined by an independent appraiser selected by two other appraisers, one of whom shall be selected by Seller and the other by Buyer, and the cost of repair or replacement related to or arising out of the Casualty shall be determined by a construction expert selected by two other construction experts, one of whom shall be selected by Seller and the other by Buyer.
15.5 Insurance. If, pursuant to the preceding Sections, the insurance proceeds from the Casualty are assigned to Buyer at Closing, Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer in any loss adjustment negotiations, legal actions and agreements with the insurance company, and will not settle any insurance claims or legal actions relating thereto without Buyer’s prior written consent. Any insurance proceeds to which Buyer is entitled pursuant to this Section 15 shall be credited
45
against the Purchase Price if determinable at Closing and receivable by Seller or shall be paid by Seller to Buyer within seven (7) Business Days after finally determined if not determinable prior to Closing and received by Seller rather than Buyer after Closing. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing hereunder.
15.6 Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 15, the Deposit, together with all interest earned thereon, less Buyer’s share of escrow cancellation fees, shall be delivered to Buyer and the parties hereto shall be released from all further obligations and liabilities hereunder, except with respect to the obligations set forth in Sections 3.1, 4.5, 5.8, 12.4, 14, 16.1, 16.2, 16.3, 16.4, 16.6, 16.14 and 16.16.
16. | GENERAL PROVISIONS |

Except for the foregoing or with the prior consent of Buyer and Seller, neither Buyer or Seller nor or any of their Representatives shall disclose to any Person (a) the fact that any Seller Information has been disclosed to Buyer or its Representatives, that Buyer or its Representatives have inspected any portion of the Seller Information, or (b) any information about the Contemplated Transactions, including the status of such discussions or negotiations, the execution of any documents (including this Agreement) or any of the terms of the Contemplated Transactions or the related documents (including this Agreement).

In the absence of a protective order or other remedy, Buyer may disclose that portion (and only that portion) of the Seller Information that, based upon advice of the Buyer’s counsel, Buyer is legally compelled to disclose or that has been requested by such Governmental Body, provided, however, that Buyer shall use Good Faith Efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded by any Person to whom any Seller Information is so disclosed.
(d) Attorney-Client Privilege. The Seller is not waiving, and will not be deemed to have waived or diminished, any of its attorney work product protections, attorney-client privileges or similar protections and privileges as a result of disclosing the Seller Information (including Seller Information related to pending or threatened litigation) to the Buyer, regardless
47
of whether the Seller has asserted, or is or may be entitled to assert, such privileges and protections. The parties (i) share a common legal and commercial interest in all of the Seller Information that is subject to such privileges and protections; (ii) may become joint defendants in Proceedings to which the Seller Information covered by such protections and privileges relates; (iii) intend that such privileges and protections remain intact should either party become subject to any actual or threatened Proceeding to which the Seller Information covered by such protections and privileges relates; and (iv) intend that after the Closing Seller shall have the right to assert such protections and privileges. Neither Buyer nor any Buyer Representative shall admit, claim or contend, in Proceedings involving either Buyer or Seller or otherwise, that Seller waived any of its attorney work-product protections, attorney-client privileges or similar protections and privileges with respect to any information, documents or other material not disclosed to Buyer on account of the disclosure of the Seller Information to Buyer.
(e) Termination of Agreement. If this Agreement is cancelled or terminated for any reason, Buyer shall return to Seller or destroy all copies of the documents, reports, studies, agreements, leases and other Seller Information provided to Buyer.
(f) Survival. The provisions of this Section 16.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, but otherwise shall terminate upon Closing except that clause (d) of this Section 16.3 shall survive Closing. The provisions of that certain Confidentiality Agreement dated October 17, 2012 between Seller and Buyer, to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, and shall survive the termination of this Agreement, but said Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate upon Closing.
16.4 Assignment of Plans and Reports. If the Contemplated Transactions are not consummated for any reason other than a Breach by Seller of this Agreement, then, subject to confidentiality and other restrictions regarding disclosure and assignment, and upon reimbursement of Buyer’s costs to obtain the same, Seller may require Buyer to cause all or some of the maps, environmental reports, civil and soil engineering reports, site plans, plans and specifications relating to improvements on the Property, whether constructed or not, and all other plans, reports or other documents or work relating to the Property, including building plans, which have been prepared by or for Buyer to be physically delivered to Seller and assigned to Seller “AS IS” and without representations or warranties from Buyer as to the accuracy thereof. Buyer agrees to execute, within five (5) Business Days of Seller’s request, such documents as Seller reasonably requires to evidence the foregoing assignments.
16.5 Notices. No notice, request, demand, instruction or other document to be given hereunder to any party shall be effective for any purpose unless (a) personally delivered to the Person and at the appropriate address set forth below, or (b) delivered by Federal Express or other similar courier service, or (c) delivered by mail, sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or (d) transmitted by email, as follows:

16.6 Jurisdiction; Service of Process. Any action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any right arising out of, this Agreement may be brought against any of the parties exclusively in the Circuit Court of the First Circuit of the State of Hawaii, City and County of Honolulu, or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii, and each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any such action or proceeding and waives any objection to venue laid therein. The foregoing sentence is intended to be a waiver of the parties’ rights to bring an action or proceeding arising out of or based on this Agreement in any other jurisdiction other than the courts set forth in the preceding sentence. Process in any action or proceeding referred to in the preceding sentence may be served on any party anywhere in the world.
16.7 Further Assurances. The parties agree (a) to furnish upon request to each other such further information, (b) to execute and deliver to each other such other documents, and (c) to do such other acts and things, all as the other party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement and the documents referred to in this Agreement and to effectuate the Contemplated Transactions.
16.8 Waiver. Neither the failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege.
16.9 Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements (including any letters of intent) between the parties with respect to its subject matter and constitutes (along with the documents referred to in this Agreement) a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended except by a written agreement executed by the party to be charged with the amendment.
16.10 Construction. This Agreement and any certificates or documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement will be construed without regard to which party drafted the document or any particular provision therein.
16.11 Assignments, Successors, and No Third-Party Rights.
50
(a) Permitted Assignment; Prohibition. Buyer may assign or transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder to any entity which is owned directly or indirectly all or in part by Buyer or its subsidiary entity; provided, however, Buyer shall give Seller prior reasonable advance notice thereof and Buyer shall not be released from any liability hereunder. Buyer otherwise shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign or transfer any right, interest or obligation hereunder without Seller’s express prior written consent, which consent may be given or withheld in Seller’s reasonable discretion. Unless otherwise specifically agreed by Seller in writing, which Seller may give or withhold in its reasonable discretion, any consent by Seller to any assignment or transfer by Buyer or other assignor shall not release Buyer or other assignor from any obligations under this Agreement, or be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment or transfer. If Buyer is a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, corporation or other entity, “Transfer” and “Assign” shall also include any transfer or assignment of any interest in such partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, corporation or other entity.
(b) Transfer Notice Requirement. Buyer shall give Seller reasonable advance notice of any proposed transfer of any ownership interest in Buyer or of any of Buyer’s rights, interests or obligations hereunder that will require Seller’s consent hereunder and shall provide such information relating to such transfer and concerning the transferee as Seller may request.
(c) Successors and Assigns. Subject to the foregoing, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit and shall be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of Buyer and Seller. As used in this Section, “successors” shall refer to the successors to all or substantially all of a party’s assets and to a party’s successors by merger or consolidation.
(d) No Third-Party Rights. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement and all of its provisions and conditions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their successors and permitted assigns.
(e) Buyer’s Exchange. Buyer may assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to an affiliated entity and/or a qualified intermediary, in order to facilitate a like-kind exchange transaction which includes all or any portion of the Property as replacement property pursuant to Section 1031 of the Tax Code. No such assignment shall relieve Buyer of its obligations under this Agreement and Buyer will remain liable under this Agreement, subject to the limits set forth herein, following any such assignment and shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from any additional cost, liability or expense suffered or incurred by Seller by reason of such assignment or Seller’s cooperation with Buyer’s exchange. Seller further agrees to cooperate with Buyer in effecting such exchange transaction, including, without limitation, consenting in writing to the assignment of all or any portion of this Agreement by Buyer to any such qualified intermediary and/or any affiliated entity. Seller hereby agrees to execute reasonable customary documentation used by Buyer to effect such exchange transaction, provided that any such exchange transaction, and the related documentation, shall: (i) not require Seller to execute any contract
51
(other than as set forth above), make any commitment, or incur any obligations, contingent or otherwise, to third parties which would expand Seller’s obligations beyond this Agreement or incur any additional costs, (ii) not delay the Closing or the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or (iii) not include Seller’s acquiring title to any other property. The obligations of Seller and Buyer under this Section shall survive the Closing and shall not be merged therein.
16.12 Section Headings, Construction. The headings of Sections in this Agreement are provided for convenience only and will not affect its construction or interpretation. All references to “Section” or “Sections” refer to the corresponding Section or Sections of this Agreement. All words used in this Agreement will be construed to refer to such gender or number as the circumstances require.
16.13 Time of Essence. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence. All periods of time referred to in this Agreement shall include all Saturdays, Sundays and state or national holidays, unless the period of time specifies Business Days, provided that if the date or last date to perform any act or give any notice with respect to this Agreement shall fall on a Saturday, Sunday or State of Hawaii or national holiday, such act or notice may be timely performed or given on the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or State of Hawaii or national holiday.
16.14 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Hawaii without regard to conflicts of laws principles.
16.15 Execution, Counterparts, Facsimile or Electronic. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. Any execution by electronic or facsimile signature shall be acceptable and binding on the party giving such execution. If this Agreement is executed by any party by electronic or facsimile signature, the original hard copy of such electronic or facsimile signature page shall be promptly sent to the other party by courier mail for attachment to the other party’s form of agreement in replacement of the electronic or facsimile page.
16.16 Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer hereby agrees that any claims against Seller arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Contemplated Transactions or the Property shall be enforceable only as against the assets of the applicable party hereto, and the other parties further agree that any such claims shall not be enforceable against any Representatives personally or any such Representative’s personal assets or property. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing hereunder.
16.17 Invalidity of Provision. If any provision of this Agreement as applied to either party or to any circumstance shall be adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable for any reason, the same shall in no way affect (to the maximum extent permissible by law) any other provision of this Agreement, the application of any such provision under circumstances different from those adjudicated by the court, or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement as a whole.
52
16.18 No Partnership or Agency Relationship. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as making Seller a partner, venturer, shareholder, member or other principal or agent of Buyer, and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Seller has no liability or responsibility whatsoever resulting from or arising out of Buyer’s ownership and development of, construction upon, or resale of the Property.
16.19 No Other Rights or Options. This Agreement is solely for the sale of the Property and is not intended nor does it create any rights or options in other property or interests of Seller.
16.20 Survivability. All covenants of Buyer or Seller which are intended hereunder to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing shall survive the Closing, and all representations, warranties and indemnities by either party to the other, shall survive the Closing for the Survival Period and be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. Seller and Buyer each expressly waives any and all claims by reason of any statement, representation, warranty or promise or agreement, if any, not contained in or attached to this Agreement or in any agreement executed and delivered concurrently herewith or after the date hereof.
16.21 Approvals and Consents. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, any approvals and consents required to be given under this Agreement prior to the commencement of any act or action by the Seller or Buyer shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed and delivered this Agreement as of the date first written above.
