A copy of Status Title Report dated February 1, 2013, revised as of February 14, 2013, prepared by Title Guaranty of Hawaii, Inc. covering CCLC’s and CC’s interests in the Land and the Ground Lease, respectively (the "PTR"), together with copies of all documents of record and all exceptions to title referenced in the PTR (collectively, the "PTR Exceptions"), to the extent reasonably obtainable by Seller.

(b) Title and Survey Review. Without limiting Section 4 hereof, Buyer may, at Buyer's discretion, disapprove of anything contained or referenced in the PTR, any of the PTR Exceptions, the Updated PTR, if any, the Existing Survey and/or the Updated Survey, if any, by delivering written notice (the "Title Notice") thereof to Seller no later than twenty calendar days prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Period. The Title Notice shall specify in detail the disapproved item(s) (the "Title Defect") along with Buyer's reasons for disapproving the item(s). Upon receipt of the Title Notice, Seller may, at its option, either: (i) notify Buyer in writing delivered to Buyer no later than ten calendar days prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Period, that Seller intends to cure or otherwise remove from title the Title Defect prior to Closing; or (ii) notify Buyer in writing, delivered to Buyer no later than ten calendar days prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Period, that Seller shall not or cannot cure or otherwise remove from title the Title Defect, in which event Buyer shall either elect to deliver the Acceptance Notice pursuant to Section 4(e) hereof (in which event Buyer shall be deemed to have rescinded the Title Notice as to the Title Defect), or be deemed to have terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 4(e) hereof. Seller's failure to deliver either such notice to Buyer within the prescribed time period shall be deemed to be notice that Seller shall not or cannot cure or otherwise remove the Title Defect. If Seller fails to cure or remove from title any Title Defect that Seller has agreed to cure or remove prior to Closing, Seller shall not be deemed to be in default under this Agreement and Buyer's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the waiver of its rights with respect to the Title Defect or termination of this Agreement and refund of the Deposits pursuant to Section 7 hereof.
As used in this Section 3, the term "remove" shall mean that Seller shall (i) take such actions as may be necessary to eliminate (of record or otherwise, as appropriate) the claim giving rise to the particular Title Defect, or (ii) cause the Title Company (as defined below) to remove the Title Defect as an exception to title in Buyer's Title Policy (as defined below) or to insure against the same.
(c) Title Insurance. Prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer may, at its option, obtain a binding commitment (the "Title Commitment") from a title insurance company (the "Title Company") licensed in the State of Hawaii, to issue at Closing an owner's policy of title insurance (standard form) ("Buyer's Title Policy") with respect to the Leased Fee Interest and the Leasehold Interest, with such extended coverage and endorsements as Buyer may desire and in such amount as Buyer shall direct but not to exceed the Purchase Price, subject (i) to the Permitted Exceptions (as defined below), and (ii) matters that would be disclosed by any survey or archaeological study of the Real Property, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties. A copy of the Title Commitment, if any, shall be delivered to Seller prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Period. In the event the Title Commitment is not obtained prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer may: (i) elect to deliver the Acceptance Notice pursuant to Section 4(e) hereof, or (ii) be deemed to have terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 4(e) hereof.

Buyer shall be liable for all such amounts paid, and all costs and expenses relating thereto, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of litigation.

-28-
(a) Proration and Apportionment. The items set forth below shall be prorated and apportioned between Buyer and Seller as provided below. For purposes of this Section 12, all prorations to occur as of the Closing Date shall be determined as of 11:59 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time on the date immediately preceding the Closing Date, as though Buyer held title to the Property throughout the entire day on which Closing occurs. Such prorations and adjustments shall be made on the basis of a 365-day year for items payable on an annual or semi-annual basis, and on the number of days in the calendar month in which Closing occurs for items payable on a monthly basis.
(i) Taxes on Gross Receipts. Gross income and other taxes and charges, if any, payable on account of any rents and/or income derived from the Property or the business conducted on or within the Real Property, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Hawaii general excise taxes (but not any taxes based on the net income of Seller, the liability for all of which shall remain with Seller) shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.
(ii) Real Property Taxes. All real property taxes and assessments for the fiscal year in which Closing occurs shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. Installments for any special assessments for improvements to the Property which accrue prior to the Closing Date shall be paid by Seller, and installments for any special assessments for improvements to the Property which accrue after the Closing Date shall be paid by Buyer; provided, however, that with respect to any assessment payable in installments, all installments due and payable prior to the Closing Date shall be paid by Seller, and all installments due and payable on or after the Closing Date shall be paid by Buyer. If the amount of any such item is not ascertainable on the Closing Date, the credit therefor shall be based on the most recent available xxxx or on such other basis as Escrow Agent may require and adjusted as necessary post-Closing pursuant to Section 12(c) and Section 12(d) hereof.
(iii) Intentionally Omitted.
(iv) Prepaid Expenses. Buyer shall be charged for those prepaid expenses paid by Seller allocable to any period from and after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, prepaid rents under any equipment lease, annual permit and inspection fees, and fees for licenses paid by Seller to third parties to the extent the same are transferable hereunder, are in fact transferred hereunder to Buyer at Closing and remain on deposit for the benefit of Buyer.

-29-
be secured for all utilities as of the Closing Date. To the extent they are not available, the cost of such utilities shall be apportioned between the Parties on the basis of the latest xxxx for such service and adjusted as necessary post-Closing pursuant to Section 12(c) and Section 12(d) hereof.

Buyer shall not acquire accounts receivable from Seller, and there shall be no adjustments or prorations therefor; provided, however, that Buyer shall use reasonable efforts (excluding litigation and other collection procedures) for a period of six months after the Closing Date to collect on behalf of Seller all accounts receivable outstanding as of Closing. Buyer shall remit all amounts collected therefor to Seller upon Buyer's receipt of same. Buyer shall also remit to Seller, upon Buyer's receipt of the same, all other amounts received by Buyer in payment of Seller's accounts receivable, at any time thereafter.

-30-

If as of the Closing Date, Seller shall not have paid any Tenant Lease Concessions for which Seller is responsible pursuant to the foregoing, the value of such Tenant Lease Concessions shall be determined as of the Closing Date and such amount shall be credited to Buyer by Seller at Closing. As used herein, "Tenant Lease Concessions" means and includes any payment, expense or rent concession required under any of the Tenant Leases to be paid or incurred by, or charged to, the landlord or lessor thereunder to or for the benefit of the tenant or lessee thereunder which is in the nature of a tenant inducement, including specifically, without limitation, tenant improvement costs and allowances, lease buy-outs, moving allowances, and "free rent" periods.

(ii) Payments not specifying application to specific obligations shall be allocated first in priority to any obligations accrued after the Closing Date and paid to Buyer and then to any obligations accruing before the Closing Date and paid to Seller.
(c) Procedure; Post-Closing Adjustment. Seller and Buyer shall jointly and in good faith (i) account for all items to be prorated or apportioned pursuant to this Section 12, and (ii) determine the amount of such prorations and apportionments as provided in this Section 12. If at any time prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date either Buyer or Seller discovers any items which should have been included in the prorations and apportionments but which were omitted therefrom, or any material error in the computation thereof, such items shall be promptly adjusted
-31-
as of the Closing Date. Either Party owing the other Party a sum of money based upon any such adjustment after the Closing Date shall promptly pay that sum to the other Party.
(d) Final Proration of Rent, Certain Other Items. Without limiting the generality of Section 12(c) hereof, final prorations of rent and charges under the Tenant Leases, including, without limitation, any common area maintenance contributions, operating expenses, air conditioning charges, utility charges, real property taxes and other sums payable by tenants under the Tenant Leases, and other apportionable items which are dependent for their calculation upon the economic performance of the Property (or a portion thereof) over a specified interval of time or which are not due and payable until after the Closing Date (or are adjustable after the Closing Date) shall be accomplished as follows: Buyer and Seller shall await the expiration of the specified interval to determine the proration, and Seller and Buyer shall then prorate the item by allocating to Seller the product of such apportionable item for the entire interval multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days within the specified interval which occurred before the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the specified interval; provided, however, that all final prorations shall be calculated within ninety days after the end of the calendar year in which Closing occurs.
(e) Survival. The provisions of this Section 12 shall survive Closing.
13. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.
(a) Buyer's Default; Liquidated Damages. In the event of Buyer's default in the performance of any obligation or covenant under this Agreement prior to Closing, Seller shall have the right, as Seller’s sole remedy, to terminate this Agreement and shall be entitled to retain the amount of the Deposits to be paid as provided in this Agreement, plus accrued interest thereon, as liquidated damages. Seller and Buyer expressly acknowledge and agree that in the event of such a default under this Agreement by Buyer, (i) Seller will be materially damaged, (ii) with the fluctuation in value of land, commercial property and retail property in the State of Hawaii, the unpredictable state of the economy and of governmental regulations, the nature of the real estate market in the State of Hawaii, the difficulty in evaluation of lost profits, and other factors which directly affect the value and marketability of the Property, it would be extremely difficult and impracticable at this time to estimate the amount of such damage, and (iii) after negotiation, the Parties have agreed that, considering all of the circumstances existing as of the Effective Date, the amount of the Deposits to be paid as provided in this Agreement, plus accrued interest thereon, is a reasonable estimate of the damages that Seller would incur in such event and would not constitute a penalty or unreasonable forfeiture. In such event, Escrow Agent is hereby irrevocably instructed by Seller and Buyer to release and disburse the amount of the Deposits to be paid as provided in this Agreement, plus accrued interest thereon, to Seller. Such right to terminate and such liquidated damages shall constitute Seller's sole and exclusive remedy for Buyer's default in the performance
-32-
of any obligation or covenant under this Agreement prior to Closing, except that Seller shall be entitled to (A) exercise any rights or remedies it may have at law or in equity by virtue of any provision of this Agreement which expressly survives the termination of this Agreement and/or any indemnity created or granted herein, and (B) recover the costs and expenses of enforcing this Agreement, including reasonable attorneys' fees. If after Closing, Buyer fails to perform any of its obligations which survive Closing, Seller may exercise any remedy available to it at law or in equity. In such event, the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section shall not apply to, nor limit, nor be an offset against Seller's recoverable damages.
(b) Seller's Default; Buyer's Remedies. In the event of Seller’s default in the performance of any obligation or covenant under this Agreement prior to Closing which prevents Closing from taking place as provided herein, Buyer shall elect, in Buyer's sole discretion, to either: (i) terminate this Agreement and, except as otherwise provided in Section 8(b) hereof, receive the Deposits to the extent made (plus accrued interest thereon), in which event Seller shall pay all Escrow Cancellation Charges and reimburse Buyer for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket third party costs actually incurred by Buyer in negotiation of this Agreement and due diligence investigation of the Property, and upon such termination neither Party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, other than pursuant to any provision hereof which expressly survives the termination of this Agreement and/or any indemnity created or granted herein, (ii) seek specific performance of Seller's obligations hereunder; provided however, that as a condition precedent to Buyer exercising any right it may have to bring an action for specific performance, Buyer must commence such action within ninety calendar days after the scheduled date of Closing, or (iii) waive the default and proceed with the purchase of the Property in accordance with this Agreement. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the limitation of Buyer's remedies is a material condition of Seller's willingness to enter into this Agreement, and Buyer specifically confirms and acknowledges that in consideration of Seller's acceptance of this Agreement, Buyer has accepted all other risks of Seller's default, and agrees that Buyer's remedies, as expressly limited in this Agreement, represent adequate and sufficient compensation to Buyer in the event of Seller's default. If after Closing, Seller fails to perform any of its obligations which survive Closing, Buyer may exercise any remedy available to it at law or in equity, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement.
(c) No Personal Liability. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, there shall be no personal liability to the members, managers, officers, directors, partners, agents, representatives or employees of Seller or Buyer arising out of or in any way relating to the covenants, obligations, representations, warranties and/or agreements of Seller or Buyer, as applicable, as set forth in this Agreement and/or in any of the Conveyance Documents other than in any guaranty, indemnity or other covenant made by an individual in its personal capacity. Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that the limits and restrictions set forth in this Section 13 have been specifically negotiated and agreed upon by and between Seller and Buyer and that neither Seller nor Buyer would be willing to enter into this Agreement without each other's agreement to
-33-
these restrictions and that the same are therefore binding and effective upon Seller and Buyer and their respective successors and assigns.
(d) Survival. The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.
14. RISK OF LOSS.
(a) Minor Damage. In the event of loss or damage to the Property or any portion thereof prior to Closing which is not "major" (as defined below), this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Seller shall assign to Buyer all of Seller's right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards relating to the premises in question. Upon Closing, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of any deductible or self-insured retention and full risk of loss with respect to the Property shall pass to Buyer.
(b) Major Damage. In the event of a "major" loss or damage to the Property or any portion thereof prior to Closing, Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which event the Deposits, to the extent made, shall be returned to Buyer. If Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement within ten days after Seller sends Buyer written notice of the occurrence of major loss or damage, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with Closing, in which event Seller shall assign to Buyer all of Seller's right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards relating to the premises in question. Upon Closing, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of any deductible or self-insured retention and full risk of loss with respect to the Property shall pass to Buyer.
(c) Definition of "Major" Loss or Damage. For purposes of this Agreement, "major" loss or damage refers to the following: (i) an uninsured loss or damage to the Property or any portion thereof such that the cost of repairing or restoring the premises in question to a condition substantially identical to that of the premises in question prior to the event of damage would be, in the opinion of an architect selected by Seller and reasonably approved by Buyer, equal to or greater than FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 U.S. Dollars (U.S. $500,000.00) (measured by the cost or repair or replacement) in the aggregate, or take longer than 180 calendar days to complete, and (ii) any loss due to a condemnation proceeding which permanently and materially adversely impairs the current use of the Property and for which Seller does not nor is otherwise able to cure the impairment of the current use of the Property. If Buyer does not give notice to Seller of Buyer's reasons for disapproving an architect within five business days after receipt of notice of the proposed architect, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the architect selected by Seller.

Unless otherwise specified, in computing any period of time described in this Agreement, the day of the act or event after which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included and the last day of the period so computed is to be included, unless such last day is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday under the laws of the State in which the Property is located, in which event the period shall run until the end of the next day which is neither a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.

22. NO WAIVER.
