ARTICLE 10
DEFAULT
10.1 Seller’s Remedies. If the sale is not completed as herein provided by reason of any default of Purchaser, Seller shall be entitled to all remedies and rights available to it at law or equity. In addition to any other rights and remedies available to Seller, Seller shall have the right to bring an action against Purchaser seeking expungement or relief from any improperly filed lis pendens, injunction or other restraint for bringing an action for damages as part of a slander of title claim, and/or recovering fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which Seller may suffer or incur as a result of any Purchaser action but only to the extent that Seller is the prevailing party. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit Purchaser’s liability to Seller for damages or injunctive relief for breach of Purchaser’s indemnity obligations for attorneys’ fees and costs as provided in Section 16.6 below. The foregoing is not intended to limit Purchaser’s obligations under Section 11.2 and 13.3.
10.2 Purchaser’s Remedies. If the sale is not completed as herein provided by reason of any material default of Seller, Purchaser shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to either (i) terminate this Agreement (by delivering notice to Seller which includes a waiver of any right, title or interest of Purchaser in the Golf Course) and, subject to Purchaser’s obligations under Sections 5.2.4 and 5.2.7, obtain actual out-of-pocket third party expenses or (ii) treat this Agreement as being in full force and effect and pursue only the specific performance of this Agreement; provided, however, Purchaser must, if at all, file its specific performance action within one hundred twenty (120) days of the scheduled Closing Date. If Seller acts in a manner that precludes Purchaser from pursuing specific performance (e.g., sells the Real Property to a bona-fide third party purchaser without knowledge of this Agreement) then Purchaser shall have the right (without the application of any cap on liability) to pursue against Seller any and all rights and remedies at law or in equity. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, Purchaser waives any right to pursue any other remedy at law or equity for such default of Seller, including, without limitation, except as provided in the preceding sentence, any right to seek, claim or obtain damages, punitive damages or consequential damages. Nothing in this Agreement shall, however, be deemed to limit Seller’s liability to Purchaser for damages or for attorney’s fees and costs as provided in Section 16.6 below except as set forth in Section 16.6.
ARTICLE 11

The matters set forth in this Section 11.1 constitute representations and warranties by Seller which are now and (subject to matters contained in any notice given pursuant to the next succeeding sentence) shall, in all material respects, at the Closing be true and correct. If Seller learns of, or has a reason to believe that any of the representations and warranties contained in this Article 11 may cease to be true and correct, Seller shall give prompt notice to Purchaser (which notice shall include copies of the instrument, correspondence, or document, if any, upon which Seller’s notice is based) and, in such event, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement, upon written notice to Seller, without recourse against Seller; provided, however; Seller cannot act voluntary in a manner which would cause a representation and warranty to become materially incorrect or inaccurate.

This Section 11.2.7 shall survive the Closing.
ARTICLE 12
CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION
Promptly upon learning thereof, Seller shall give Purchaser written notice of any condemnation, damage or destruction of the Real Property occurring prior to the Closing together with, in the case of a casualty, a reasonably detailed estimate of the cost to repair the damage or destroyed Real Property prepared by a third party engineer or contractor retained by Seller. If prior to the Closing all or a material portion of the Real Property is condemned, damaged or destroyed, Purchaser shall have the option of either (i) applying the proceeds of any condemnation award or payment under any insurance policies (other than business interruption or rental loss insurance applicable to the period prior to Closing) toward the payment of the Purchase Price to the extent such condemnation awards or insurance payments have been received by Seller, receiving from Seller an amount equal to any applicable deductible under any such insurance policy or the amount of any uninsured loss, provided Seller has not terminated this Agreement in accordance with this Article 12, and receiving an assignment from Seller of Seller’s right, title and interest in any such awards or payments not theretofore received by Seller, or (ii) terminating this Agreement by delivering written notice of such termination to Seller and Escrow Agent within twenty (20) days after Purchaser has received written notice from Seller of such material condemnation, damage or destruction and, if necessary, the Closing date shall be extended to give Purchaser the full twenty (20) day period to make such election. If, prior to the Closing, a portion of the Real Property is condemned, damaged or destroyed and such portion is not a material portion of the Real Property, the proceeds of any condemnation award or payment and any applicable deductible under any insurance policies or the amount of any uninsured loss, provided Seller has not terminated this Agreement in accordance with this Article 12, shall be applied toward the payment of the Purchase Price to the extent such condemnation awards or insurance payments have been received by Seller and Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in any unpaid awards or payments. Seller shall not settle any insurance or condemnation claim with respect to the Real Property following the Effective Date without first receiving Purchaser’s prior written consent thereto, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. For purposes of this Article 12, the term “material portion” shall mean (A) damage that will cost in excess of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), or will take longer than six months, to repair, or (B) condemnation that results in a taking of any of the Improvements, any parking spaces, any ingress or egress or any other portion of the Real Property which, in each case, in Seller’s reasonable judgment, would materially affect the use, value, operation or legal compliance of the Real Property. If the damage or destruction arises out of an uninsured risk and the reasonable cost for repairing such damage or destruction not covered by insurance exceeds Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), Seller shall elect, by written notice within ten (10) days of the occurrence of such damage or destruction either to terminate this Agreement or to close the transaction contemplated hereby with a reduction of the Purchase Price equal to the costs of repairing the Real Property, as reasonably estimated by an engineer engaged by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser.
ARTICLE 13

Seller shall not, without the prior written approval of Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed: (i) make any material structural alterations or additions to the Real Property except as (a) in the ordinary course of operating the Real Property, (b) required for maintenance and repair or (c) required by any of the leases or the Contracts; (ii) sell, transfer, encumber or change the status of title of all or any portion of the Golf Course; (iii) change or attempt to change, directly or indirectly, the current zoning of the Real Property in a manner materially adverse to it; or (iv) cancel, amend or modify, in a manner materially adverse to the Real Property, any license or permit held by Seller with respect to the Real Property or any part thereof which would be binding upon Purchaser after the Closing.
13.3 Confidentiality. Seller and Purchaser shall, prior to the Closing, maintain the confidentiality of this sale and purchase and shall not, except as required by law or governmental regulation applicable to Seller or Purchaser, disclose the terms of this Agreement or of such sale and purchase to any third parties whomsoever other than investors or prospective investors in Seller or Purchaser, Purchaser’s lender, or the principals of the Broker, Escrow Agent, Title Company, Purchaser’s advisors or consultants and such other persons whose assistance is required in carrying out the terms of this Agreement, or to governmental agencies if and to the extent required to verify the zoning and entitlements of the Real Property. Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall at any time issue a press release or otherwise communicate with media representatives regarding this sale and purchase unless such release or communication has received the prior approval of the other party. Purchaser agrees that all documents and information regarding the Golf Course of whatsoever nature made available to it by Seller or Seller’s agents and the results of all tests and studies of the Golf Course (collectively, the “Proprietary Information”) are confidential and Purchaser shall not disclose any Proprietary Information to any other person except those assisting it with the analysis of the Golf Course, and only after procuring such person’s agreement to abide by these confidentiality restrictions. This Section 13.3 shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.
13.4 Right to Cure. If any title defect or other matter which would entitle Purchaser to terminate this Agreement shall arise prior to the Closing or if Seller shall have breached any representation or warranty hereunder, Seller may elect, by written notice to Purchaser, to cure such title defect or other matter by causing it to be removed, insured over or bonded to cure such breach or cure such breach of any representation or warranty hereunder, and Seller may adjourn the Closing for up to twenty (20) days to do so in which event Seller will give Purchaser not less than five (5) business days notice of the date of Closing. Nothing contained in this Section 13.4 shall require Seller to cure any such title defect or other matter or to incur any liability or expense to do so except as otherwise expressly provided herein.
13.5 Additional Information. Promptly after receipt thereof, Seller shall provide copies to Purchaser of any written notices received by Seller from any governmental agency, which notices relate to the Golf Course or the ownership, management, leasing, maintenance, repair or operation thereof. Within ten (10) days of generating or receiving, as applicable, any new Golf Course operating statements or updates of existing Golf Course operating statements, Seller shall deliver copies thereof to Purchaser.

For the purposes of this definition, “control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of an entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. Purchaser shall in no event be released from any of its obligations or liabilities hereunder in connection with any assignment.
16.11 Severability. If any term, covenant, condition, provision or agreement herein contained is held to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the fact that such term, covenant, condition, provision or agreement is invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other term, covenant, condition, provision or agreement herein contained.
16.12 Assignment; Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable by any party without the written consent of the other party.

If the final date of any period which is set out in any provision of this Agreement falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday under the laws of the United States or the State of Hawaii, then the time of such period shall be extended to the next date which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.
16.18 Waivers, Etc. Any waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement, or of the breach of any covenant, representation or warranty contained herein, in any one instance, shall not operate as or be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any other breach of such term, condition, covenant, representation or warranty or any other term, condition, covenant, representation or warranty, nor shall any failure at any time or times to enforce or require performance of any provision hereof operate as a waiver of or affect in any manner such party’s right at a later time to enforce or require performance of such provision or any other provision hereof. This Agreement may not be amended nor shall any waiver, change, modification, consent or discharge be effected, except by an instrument in writing executed by or on behalf of the party against whom enforcement of any amendment, waiver, change, modification, consent or discharge is sought.
16.19 Relationship. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto, nor by any third party, as creating the relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or joint venture between the parties hereto, it being understood and agreed that (except as and to the extent specifically provided for herein) no provision contained herein, nor any acts of the parties hereto shall be deemed to create the relationship between the parties hereto other than the relationship of seller and purchaser and landlord and prospective tenant, as the case may be.
ARTICLE 17
ESCROW AGENT DUTIES AND DISPUTES
17.1 Other Duties of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall not be bound in any way by any other agreement or contract between Seller and Purchaser, whether or not Escrow Agent has knowledge thereof. Escrow Agent’s only duties and responsibilities with respect to any funds deposited with Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms hereof (the “Deposit”) shall be to hold the Deposit and other documents delivered to it as agent and to dispose of the Deposit and such documents in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility to protect the Deposit and shall not be responsible for any failure to demand, collect or enforce any obligation with respect to the Deposit or for any diminution in value of the Deposit from any cause, other than Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Escrow Agent may, at the expense of Seller and Purchaser, consult with counsel and accountants in connection with its duties under this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall not be liable to the parties hereto for any act taken, suffered or permitted by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of counsel and accountants. Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to take any action hereunder that may, in its reasonable judgment, result in any liability to it unless Escrow Agent shall have been furnished with reasonable indemnity satisfactory in amount, form and substance to Escrow Agent.
17.2 Disputes. Escrow Agent is acting as a stakeholder only with respect to the Deposit. If there is any dispute as to whether Escrow Agent is obligated to deliver the Deposit or as to whom the Deposit is to be delivered, Escrow Agent shall not make any delivery, but shall hold the Deposit until receipt by Escrow Agent of an authorization in writing, signed by all the parties having an interest in the dispute, directing the disposition of the Deposit, or, in the absence of authorization, Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit until the final determination of the rights of the parties in an appropriate proceeding. Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility to determine the authenticity or validity of any notice, instruction, instrument, document or other item delivered to it, and it shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with any written notice, direction or instruction given to it under this Agreement and reasonably believed by it to be authentic. If written authorization is not given, or proceedings for a determination are not begun, within thirty (30) days after the date scheduled for the closing of title and diligently continued, Escrow Agent may, but is not required to, bring an appropriate action or proceeding for leave to deposit the Deposit with a court of the State of Hawaii pending a determination. Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed for all costs and expenses of any action or proceeding, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in its capacity as Escrow Agent by the party determined not to be entitled to the Deposit. Upon making delivery of the Deposit in the manner provided in this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall have no further liability hereunder. In no event shall Escrow Agent be under any duty to institute, defend or participate in any proceeding that may arise between Seller and Purchaser in connection with the Deposit.
17.3 Reports. Escrow Agent shall be responsible for the timely filing of any reports or returns required pursuant to the provisions of Section 6045(e) of the Code (and any similar reports or returns required under any state or local laws) in connection with the closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been executed as of the date first set forth above.
