12.PRORATIONS AND APPORTIONMENTS.
(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 (“Cutoff Time”), 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)Personal Property Taxes. Seller shall pay the amount of any and all sales or similar taxes, if any, payable in connection with the sale of the Tangible Personal Property

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 amounts under any Contract, 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.
(v)Utility Charges. All utility services provided to the Real Property in Seller’s name shall be terminated effective as of the Closing Date, and Buyer shall be responsible for its own utility services thereafter. Utility charges including, without limitation, electricity, gas, telephone, cable television, water and sewer charges, if any, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. Seller shall receive a credit for all deposits for utilities, if any, made by Seller as security under any such public service contracts if the same are transferable and provided such deposits remain on deposit for the benefit of Buyer of any such utility charges.

(vii)Accounts Payable and Receivable. All accounts payable and expenses related to operations of the Property which have accrued before the Closing Date shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be paid by Seller on or before the Closing Date or credited to Buyer as a reduction of the Purchase Price, and all accounts payable and expenses arising after the Closing Date which are incurred by or at the direction of Buyer outside of this Agreement will be Buyer’s sole responsibility. 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 one hundred eighty (180) calendar days after the Closing Date to collect on behalf of Seller all accounts receivable outstanding as of Closing. Any rents collected by Buyer after the Cutoff Time from any tenant who owes rents for periods prior to the Closing Date, shall be applied (1) first, to Seller and Buyer, in an amount equal to the rents payable by such tenant for the month in which the Closing Date occurs, apportioned as of the Closing Date, (2) second, to Buyer in an amount equal to rents owed by such tenant for all periods from and after the Closing Date to the date of receipt, and (3) third, to Seller in an amount equal to rents owed by such tenant to Seller. Each such
3102/001/117988.10
29
amount, less any costs of collection (including reasonable counsel fees and customary disbursements) reasonably allocable thereto, shall be adjusted and prorated as provided above, and the party who receives such amount shall promptly pay over to the other party the portion thereof to which it is so entitled. Seller shall have the right, upon notice to Buyer, to pursue tenants to collect such delinquencies (including, without limitation, the prosecution of one or more lawsuits), but Seller shall not be entitled to evict (by summary proceedings or otherwise) any such tenants.

Buyer shall be responsible for all Tenant Lease Concessions with respect to Tenant Leases executed after the Effective Date pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement. 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.
(x)Other Prorations. Other customary prorations, if any, shall be prorated or apportioned between Seller and Buyer as of the Closing Date.
(b) Allocation of Payments Received after Closing Date. Except as otherwise provided in Section 12(a)(vii) hereof, the following allocations shall be utilized for payments received by Buyer after Closing from persons having unpaid obligations under the Tenant Leases:
(i)Payments specifying application to specific obligations shall be allocated to such obligations.
(ii)Payments not specifying application to specific obligations shall be allocated to any outstanding obligations accruing after the Closing Date to Buyer.
(iii)Payments not allocated pursuant to (i) or (ii) above shall be allocated next in priority to any outstanding obligations accrued 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
3102/001/117988.10
30
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, together with interest thereon at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum from the fifth (5th) business day after the amount is determined until the date of payment.
(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 (90) calendar 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 material default in the performance of any obligation or covenant under this Agreement prior to Closing, Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement and retain the amount of the Deposits to be paid as provided in this Agreement, plus accrued interest thereon, as liquidated damages; provided, however, that Seller shall also be entitled to (A) exercise any rights or remedies it may have at law or in equity by virtue of any provision of or obligation under this Agreement which expressly survives the termination of this Agreement or the Closing, and/or any indemnity created or granted herein, (B) exercise any rights and remedies it may have at law and in equity to enforce Buyer’s obligations under Sections 4(c), 4(d) and 5 hereof, and (C) recover the costs and expenses of enforcing this Agreement, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. Seller and Buyer expressly acknowledge and agree that in the event of such a default under this Agreement by Buyer prior to Closing, (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
3102/001/117988.10
31
the amount of the Deposits to be paid as provided in this Agreement, plus accrued interest thereon, to Seller.
(b) Seller’s Default; Buyer’s Remedies. In the event of Seller’s material default in the performance of any obligation or covenant under this Agreement prior to Closing, Buyer shall elect, in Buyer’s sole discretion, to either: (i) terminate this Agreement and receive the Deposits to the extent made (plus accrued interest thereon), in which event Seller shall pay all Escrow Cancellation Charges and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for Buyer’s documented and reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with its due diligence which shall not in any event exceed in the aggregate the sum of FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 U.S. DOLLARS (U.S. $50,000.00) 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 and for recovery of Buyer’s reasonable costs and expenses for enforcing this Agreement including reasonable attorneys’ fees, or (ii) proceed with Closing, and if necessary seek specific performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder, and 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 subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and recover the costs and expenses of enforcing this Agreement, including reasonable attorneys’ fees; provided, however, that as a condition precedent to Buyer exercising any right it may have to seek specific performance, Buyer must commence such action within ninety (90) calendar days of after the Scheduled Closing Date. 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. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in no event shall Buyer have the right to seek damages from Seller by reason of a default hereunder and Buyer hereby expressly waives any such right.
(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 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.
3102/001/117988.10
32
