To the extent operating income, operating expenses or other charges to be prorated are not available at Closing, then such prorations shall be adjusted and completed after Closing as and when complete information becomes available. Owner and Transferee agree to cooperate and use their best efforts to complete such prorations or adjustments that are not available at Closing no later than thirty (30) days after Closing. Such items of income and expense for the period prior to the date of Closing will be for the account of Owner and such items of income and expense for the period on and after Closing will be for the account of Transferee, all as determined by the accrual method of accounting, except rents will be prorated and adjusted only if, as and when collected. Bills received after Closing to the extent they relate to expenses incurred for services performed prior to Closing shall be paid by Owner, and those which relate to services performed after Closing (except as otherwise agreed to by the parties, in writing) shall be paid by Transferee; provided, however, that Transferee’s obligations under this Agreement to assume and pay for services rendered after Closing pursuant to the Contracts shall not apply to any Contract which Transferee elected not to assume during the Investigation Period. Transferee shall furnish to Owner after the Closing, at such time as a proration is required under this Section 4, but no more often than once every six (6) months, a statement setting forth all information necessary to support such proration and the calculation of such proration. Owner shall have the right, at any time after the Closing upon prior written notice to Transferee and at Owner’s sole cost, to review, inspect and audit any and all books, records and other information of Transferee relating to any proration required under this Section 4. Transferee and Owner shall promptly pay to the other party any amount due to the other party as a result of any proration required under this Section 4. All amounts due hereunder shall be payable no later than twenty (20) days after demand by the payee.
4.4 SURVIVAL OF SECTION 4. Owner agrees that the prorations and adjustments set forth herein (including security deposits) will be scheduled and listed in a manner consistent with Transferee’s like-kind exchange structure which will not, however, result in any additional costs or loss of credits to Owner, except that items paid by Owner for periods after the Closing Date and other similar items such as deposits made by Owner under Service Contracts to be assumed by Transferee shall be deducted from credit adjustments. The agreements of Transferee and Owner in this Section 4 shall survive Closing of this Agreement.
5. LEASING. Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Owner agrees not to enter into or modify any lease of all or a portion of the Property without Transferee’s prior written consent. Prior to the termination of the Investigation Period, Transferee shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed lease or lease modification that satisfies the Leasing Conditions (hereinafter defined). Thereafter, Transferee may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion.

If Transferee fails to give Owner notice prior to the expiration of the Investigation Period of Transferee’s election not to terminate, Transferee shall be automatically deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement. In such event, the Deposit will be refunded to Transferee and neither party shall have any further responsibility under this Agreement, except as may be expressly provided in this Agreement.
9.5 TITLE OBJECTIONS; CURE OF TITLE OBJECTIONS. Transferee shall have from the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m. (local time at the Property) on the last day of the Investigation Period (a) to review the status of title to the Property, including the exceptions to title and including any unrecorded encumbrances on realty affecting the Property, the terms and conditions of the Title Commitment, and any endorsements or modifications required by Transferee with respect to the same, all of which must be satisfactory to Transferee in its discretion, and (b) to cause the Title Company to prepare a proforma title insurance policy (the “Pro Forma Policy”) covering the Property, with endorsements, all of which must be satisfactory to Transferee in its discretion. If Transferee shall be dissatisfied with the status of title to the Property in any manner, including any matter contained in the Title Commitment or any item shown as an exception on the Pro Forma Policy, Transferee instead may, prior to the end of the Investigation Period, elect to terminate this Agreement. Any item shown as an exception on the Pro Forma Policy to which Transferee does not so object shall constitute a “Permitted Exception” subject to which the Property shall be conveyed. In the event Transferee shall notify Owner of objections to any matter contained in the Title Commitment or any item shown as an exception on the Pro Forma Policy, Owner shall have the right, but not the obligation, within five (5) days after receipt of Transferee’s objections, and at Owner’s cost, to notify Transferee in writing of Owner’s agreement to cause a cure of such objections prior to Closing , in which event Owner shall, upon giving such notice, be reasonably obligated under this Agreement to cause such cure prior to Closing and to furnish Transferee with written evidence of such cure prior to Closing (including, if so specified by Transferee, recorded releases and discharges of objectionable exceptions and including in any event the Title Company’s written acceptance (by endorsement or otherwise) of all modifications to the Pro Forma Policy required to reflect such release and discharges) satisfactory to Transferee in its discretion. If Transferee shall have objected to the status of title to the Property by the end of the Investigation Period but, within five (5) days after the end of the Investigation Period, Owner shall not have notified Transferee in writing of Owner’s agreement to cure such objections prior to Closing to the satisfaction of Transferee, then Transferee shall have the following options: (i) to accept, by written notice to Owner and the Escrow Agent prior to the end of the Investigation Period, a conveyance of the Property subject to the Permitted Exceptions, specifically including any item shown in the Pro Forma Policy objected to by Transferee which Owner is unwilling or unable to cure, and without reduction of the Acquisition Price; or (ii) to terminate this Agreement. If Transferee fails to timely deliver notice of election of one of the options in the preceding sentence prior to the end of the Investigation Period, Transferee will be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement. If Transferee shall require endorsements to be added or the Pro Forma Policy to be otherwise modified as a condition to Transferee’s approval and further if the Title Company shall agree in writing to the same, whether at the end of the Investigation Period or, if applicable, following Transferee’s objections and Owner’s cure of such objections as set forth in this Section 9.5, then the Pro Forma Policy as so endorsed and modified shall constitute the “Revised Pro Forma Policy”.
Notwithstanding anything herein or elsewhere to the contrary, Owner shall in any event be obligated to (i) execute and deliver to the Title Company at Closing an Owner’s Affidavit in the form mutually acceptable to Owner and Title Company (which Owner’s Affidavit shall be among the documents required under Section 12.1 to be delivered by Owner at Closing); and (ii) cure and cause to be discharged of record and removed (via endorsement of the Title Commitment) from the Pro Forma Policy or, if endorsed and modified as set forth in this Section 9.5, the Revised Pro Forma Policy at or prior to Closing (without any requirement that Transferee object thereto) all references to claims arising out of rights customarily and traditionally exercised for subsistence, cultural, religious, access or gathering purposes, as provided for in the Hawaii Constitution or the Hawaii Revised Statutes, all monetary liens (including all mortgages or deed of trust liens or security interests or mechanic’s liens or tax liens, other than the lien for ad valorem real property taxes and assessments not due and payable as of the date of Closing relating to the Property), and any other lien, lease, license, easement, restriction, covenant or any other encumbrance that (A) arises pursuant to an instrument signed by Owner, and (B) becomes an exception to or otherwise encumbers title after the effective date of the Title Commitment but prior to Closing (an “Owner Post-Commitment Encumbrance”) unless expressly permitted under this Agreement or unless otherwise expressly approved in writing by Transferee.
In the event that any defect, lien, encumbrance, adverse claim or any other matter, including any claim of easement not shown by the public records, or any encroachments, encumbrances or matters of fact that would be shown by an accurate survey but that are not shown on the Existing Survey, becomes an exception to title after the effective date of the Title Commitment but prior to Closing, other than the Owner Post-Commitment Encumbrances, if any, which Owner Post-Commitment Encumbrances Owner shall be required to discharge and release prior to Closing under the provisions of the preceding grammatical paragraph (a “Post-Commitment Encumbrance”), Transferee may, at any time prior to Closing, notify Owner in writing of its objection to such Post-Commitment Encumbrance. In the event Transferee shall notify Owner of objections to any Post-Commitment Encumbrance, Owner shall have the right, but not the obligation, within five (5) days after receipt of Transferee’s objections (but not later than the date of Closing), and at Owner’s cost, to notify Transferee in writing of Owner’s agreement to reasonably attempt to cure such objections as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event no later than the date three (3) days prior to Closing (the “Cure Deadline”) to the specifications identified by Transferee in such notification of objections, in which event Owner shall, upon giving such notice, be obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such cure prior to the Cure Deadline and to furnish Transferee with written evidence of such cure prior to the Cure Deadline (including, if so specified by Transferee, recorded releases and discharges of objectionable exceptions and including in any event the Title Company’s written acceptance (by endorsement or otherwise) of all modifications to the Pro Forma Policy (or, if applicable, Revised Pro Forma Policy) required to reflect such release and discharges) reasonably satisfactory to Transferee in its discretion. If Transferee shall have objected to any such Post-Commitment Encumbrance but either (y) Owner shall not have timely notified Transferee in writing of Owner’s agreement to attempt to cure such objections prior to the Cure Deadline (or prior to Closing, if a Post-Commitment Encumbrance shall become an exception to title after the Cure Deadline but prior to Closing) to the satisfaction of Transferee, or (z) Owner shall have notified Transferee in writing of Owner’s agreement to attempt to cure such objections prior to the Cure Deadline (or prior to Closing, if a Post-Commitment Encumbrance shall become an exception to title after the Cure Deadline but prior to Closing) to the satisfaction of Transferee, but Owner shall have failed to cure such objection prior to the Cure Deadline (or prior to Closing, if a Post-Commitment Encumbrance shall become an exception to title after the Cure Deadline but prior to Closing) to the satisfaction of Transferee, then Transferee shall have the following options: (i) to accept, by written notice to Owner and the Escrow Agent prior to the date of Closing (or on the date of Closing in connection with Post-Commitment Encumbrances arising subsequent to the Cure Deadline), a conveyance of the Property, subject to such Post-Commitment Encumbrance (in which event, such Post-Commitment Encumbrance shall constitute a Permitted Exception), and without reduction of the Acquisition Price; or (ii) to terminate this Agreement prior to the date of Closing (or on the date of Closing in connection with Post-Commitment Encumbrances arising subsequent to the Cure Deadline). If Transferee fails to timely deliver notice of election of one of the options in the preceding sentence prior to the date of Closing (or on the date of Closing in connection with Post-Commitment Encumbrances arising subsequent to the Cure Deadline), Transferee will be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement. If Transferee shall require endorsements to be added or the Pro Forma Policy and/or Revised Pro Forma Policy to be otherwise modified as a condition to Transferee’s approval and further if the Title Company shall agree in writing to the same, prior to Closing, then the Pro Forma Policy and/or Revised Pro Forma Policy, as applicable, as so endorsed and modified shall constitute the Revised Pro Forma Policy.
If this Agreement shall be terminated as set forth in this Section 9.5, upon such termination the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Transferee and the escrow fees of the Escrow Agent shall be paid 50-50 by the parties (which obligations shall survive the termination of this Agreement), and thereafter neither party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except to the extent that any right, obligation or liability set forth herein expressly survives termination of this Agreement.
9.6 SURVEY OBJECTIONS. Transferee shall have until the expiration of the Investigation Period to review the configuration, area and survey status of the Property and the survey, all of which must be satisfactory to Transferee in its discretion. If Transferee shall be dissatisfied with the configuration, area or survey status of the Property in any manner, including any matter contained on the survey or the certification of the surveyor, Transferee may, prior to the end of the Investigation Period (or, if applicable, such later date as Transferee may be permitted to exercise any option to terminate this Agreement under Section 9.5), elect to terminate this Agreement. Any matter of survey shown on the survey, in the event Transferee shall not elect to terminate this Agreement prior to the end of the Investigation Period (or, if applicable, such later date as Transferee may be permitted to exercise any option to terminate this Agreement under Section 9.5), shall constitute a Permitted Exception and Transferee shall accept a conveyance of the Property subject to the matters shown on the survey; provided that roads, paths, utility facilities and similar matters of fact relating to the Land shown on the survey delivered to Transferee as referenced in Section 3.2 and as may be shown on the survey shall be informational purposes only with respect to existing features of the Land shall not constitute Permitted Exceptions. If Transferee fails to timely deliver notice of approval of the configuration, area and survey status of the Property and the survey prior to the end of the Investigation Period (or, if applicable, such later date as Transferee may be permitted to exercise any option to terminate this Agreement under Section 9.5), Transferee will be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement. Upon such termination the Deposit shall be returned to Transferee and the escrow fees of the Escrow Agent shall be paid 50% by each of the parties (which obligations shall survive the termination of this Agreement), and thereafter neither party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except to the extent that any right, obligation or liability set forth herein expressly survives termination of this Agreement.

15. TERMINATION AND DEFAULT.
15.1 TRANSFEREE’S DEFAULT. Subject to all of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, if Transferee fails to purchase the Property on Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as a result of Transferee’s default, and Owner is not then in default under this Agreement, then Owner shall have the right to receive the Deposit from the Escrow Agent as liquidated damages as Owner’s sole and exclusive remedy in full settlement of any claim for damages at law, in equity, or otherwise. Owner and Transferee acknowledge the difficulty of determining actual damages in the event of a default by Transferee, that it is impossible to more precisely estimate Owner’s damages upon such a default, that the return or retention of the Deposit is not intended as a penalty but as full liquidated damages and that such amount constitutes a good faith estimate of Owner’s potential damages arising from a material default. Owner hereby waives any right of specific performance against Transferee.
15.2 OWNER’S DEFAULT. Subject to all of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, in the event that this Agreement is not consummated by Closing Date due to the default of Owner, and Transferee is not then in default under the Agreement, then Transferee’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to elect either: (i) terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Owner within five (5) Business Days following the scheduled Closing, whereupon the Title Company is irrevocably instructed to refund the Deposit, any interest earnings thereon and all other sums deposited by Transferee on account of the Purchase Price to Transferee and be entitled to pursue all remedies available at law or equity, including but not limited to reimbursement from Owner of Transferee’s out-of-pocket due diligence costs and Transferee’s reasonable legal fees with respect to this Agreement; (ii) consummate the transaction contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and be entitled to pursue all remedies available at law or equity; or (iii) specifically enforce this Agreement by filing an action for specific performance in accordance with the laws of the State of Hawaii, which action for specific performance shall be filed, if at all, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date. Subject to the foregoing, Transferee hereby waives its right to commence an action for consequential, punitive or special damages. Failure of Transferee to make the foregoing election within the foregoing five (5) Business Day period shall be deemed an election by Transferee to terminate this Agreement and receive from the Title Company the Deposit, whereupon Owner and Transferee will have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except with respect to the surviving obligations.
16. RISK OF LOSS; CASUALTY. In the event of the damage or destruction of all or any material part of either the value of the Property or land area of the Land prior to Closing, Owner may, to the extent of any available insurance proceeds but otherwise at its cost, repair and replace any damaged or destroyed structures and otherwise restore the Property as soon as practicable and in any event prior to Closing, but if, as of Closing, any such damage or destruction remains unrepaired, unreplaced or unrestored, then if such damage or destruction (i) shall have rendered 5% or more of the area of the Land unusable (in Transferee’s reasonable judgment) for the growing of crops, or (ii) shall materially and adversely affect access to the Land (in Transferee’s reasonable judgment), Transferee at its option, exercisable by written notice to Owner (such notice to be given in any event no more than thirty (30) days after Owner shall have requested in writing that Transferee exercise such option), may terminate this Agreement, whereupon neither party will have any further obligations hereunder (and the Deposit shall be refunded and returned to Transferee); provided, however, that unless this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to the preceding clause, the parties shall continue under this Agreement, and unless and except to the extent Owner shall have replaced and repaired the damaged or destroyed structures and otherwise restored the Property, the Acquisition Price payable at Closing shall be adjusted by the reasonably estimated (by Transferee and Owner) cost of completing such repairs, replacements and/or restoration required as a result of such damage or destruction.
