Upon delivery of the Seller’s Approval Notice, the Final Plans shall be certified and sealed by the Architect in favor of Buyer and Seller, and the Final Plans shall be attached hereto as Exhibit E by an amendment to this Agreement executed by the parties.

3.5.2.2 In the event Seller fails to complete construction of the first Building and the Reception Center by the First Building Deadline, Seller shall be entitled to a ninety (90) day period beyond the First Building Deadline to complete construction of the first Building and the Reception Center; provided, however, that the total Purchase Price due for all Units to be acquired at the Initial Closing shall be reduced by an amount equal to $5,500.00 for each day of delay, except to the extent that such delay is the result of a Force Majeure event as described in Section 24.15 below or a delay caused by Buyer.
3.5.2.3 In the event Seller fails to complete construction of 30% of the Units by the Intermediate Building Deadline, Seller shall be entitled to a ninety (90) day period beyond the Intermediate Building Deadline to complete construction of 30% of the Units; provided, however, that the total Purchase Price due for all Units to be acquired at the next Closing following the Intermediate Building Deadline shall be reduced by an amount equal to $5,500.00 for each day of delay, except to the extent that such delay is the result of a Force Majeure event as described in Section 24.15 below or a delay caused by Buyer.

3.6 Buyer Construction Inspection and Punch List. Buyer and its agents or employees shall have access to the Property during reasonable business hours and the right to inspect the construction of the Improvements during the course of construction and after construction of each Building is substantially complete, including the right to conduct inspections of the Improvements together with the Seller, the Architect and the Contractor. Buyer shall give Seller reasonable advance notice of such inspections and such inspections shall not unreasonably interfere with Seller’s construction of the Improvements. Seller shall cause the Architect to deliver a certification to Buyer certifying that the Improvements comply with all Applicable Laws, including, without limitation, all building, life safety and health care codes and all Public Accommodations Laws, and have been constructed in accordance with the Final Plans.
Buyer shall conduct a walk-through inspection with Seller or its representative, the Architect and the Contractor in order to develop and deliver to Seller a punch list as soon as reasonably practical after Seller notifies Buyer in writing that construction of a Building is substantially complete. Buyer’s final inspection of the construction of any such Building shall be accomplished by Buyer (together with Seller, the Architect and the Contractor) promptly after Seller notifies Buyer that the construction of such Building is substantially complete, but no later than ten (10) Business Days after Seller notifies Buyer that the final and unconditional certificate of occupancy for the Building has been issued. After reasonable consultation with the Architect and the Contractor, Buyer will develop and deliver to Seller a final punch list within five (5) Business Days after the final inspection of such Building, including a good faith estimate of the cost to complete the items on the punch list. Seller shall use its best efforts to complete all punch list items prior to the Closing for such Building but if any such items have not been completed prior to the applicable Closing, then Seller and Buyer shall jointly authorize and instruct the Escrow Agent to hold back from the Closing proceeds an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the estimated cost of completion of all remaining punch list items for such Building. If Seller completes all punch list items to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction within the thirty (30) day period following Closing, Buyer shall so notify Escrow Agent and Seller and Escrow Agent shall pay the amounts attributable to such punch list items out of the escrowed funds to Seller on the thirtieth (30th) day following the applicable Closing. If Seller fails to complete all punch list items to Buyer’s reasonable
15
satisfaction within such thirty (30) day period, Buyer shall notify Escrow Agent and Seller of all incomplete punch list items and Escrow Agent shall pay all such escrow funds to Buyer, less the cost listed on the punch list for each of the items actually completed by Seller. Seller shall be deemed to have completed the punch list items to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction unless Buyer notifies Escrow Agent and Seller of any incomplete punch list items prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day period following Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the punch list item is of such a character as to require more than thirty (30) days to cure, and provided that Seller has commenced efforts to complete such punch list items within such thirty (30) day period and Seller is diligently pursuing such efforts to completion, then Seller shall have an additional thirty (30) days to complete such punch list items before Escrow Agent shall pay all such escrow funds to Buyer in accordance with the preceding sentence. The portion of the retained amount paid to Buyer shall be free and clear of any claims of Seller or any third parties and may be used by Buyer to complete the punch list items not completed by Seller at the time of disbursement to Buyer of the escrowed funds if the escrowed funds are so disbursed to Buyer.
3.7 Purchase Price. Buyer agrees to close on a Building by Building basis as Seller completes each Building. After the Initial Closing, all subsequent Closings shall be scheduled not less than thirty days apart.

Buyer shall have the right to approve, in its reasonable discretion and in a Timely Manner, the General Contractor, the Architect, the Engineer and any replacements of any of them prior to Seller engaging any of them, and to review and approve, in its reasonable discretion and in a Timely Manner, the Construction Contract and any other Key Construction Documents, including any applicable warranties which Buyer may require with respect thereto, prior to Seller’s execution of the Construction Contract or any other Key Construction Documents. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall have no right to approve any amendment or modification to any Key Construction Document which Seller enters into (or intends to enter into) solely for the purposes of (i) modifying or altering the cost of the work to be performed under such Key Construction Document, or (ii) making conforming changes to such Key Construction Document which become necessary or advisable as a result of any Nonmaterial Modification to the Final Plans made by Seller. Seller shall provide in the applicable engagement contracts for the General Contractor, the Architect, the Engineer, the other Key Construction Documents, and any other contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers and other design professionals for the Project entered into by Seller, that Buyer and its affiliates may also have reliance rights on all work product without additional charge. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any approval by Buyer of the Construction Contract, Seller shall be required to deliver to Buyer one or more payment and performance bonds in form and substance approved by Buyer, with General Contractor as principal, with a surety company reasonably acceptable to Buyer and licensed to do business in the State of Hawaii, as surety, which bonds shall guaranty all of the obligations of the General Contractor under the Construction Contract. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to name any acquirer or acquirers of any or all of the Units, whether Buyer, a Third Party Purchaser, or otherwise, to be named as co-obligee of any such payment and performance bonds.

An actual Title Commitment shall be issued thirty
25
(30) days prior to each scheduled Closing for the portion of the Property containing each Building (and each Unit contained therein) that is part of the scheduled Closing in the amount of the Purchase Price for the timeshare residential Units in such Buildings (each, a “Title Update”) and shall not expire or shall be extended from time to time until the applicable Closing Date. The Title Commitment and Title Policy shall be issued in compliance with Hawaii law.
10.1.2 If Buyer determines that there are matters identified in the Title Commitment that are unacceptable to Buyer, Buyer shall notify Seller, in writing, of such objections prior to the expiration of the Title Review Period and Seller shall have the right, within five (5) Business Days from receiving such notice (“Seller Response Period”), to elect: (i) to cure the title defect at Seller’s cost and expense, or (ii) not to cure such defect. Seller’s failure to notify Buyer in writing within the stated time frame shall be deemed Seller’s election not to cure. If Seller elects to cure, Seller shall do so prior to the applicable Closing for the portion of the Property affected by any such title defect. If Seller elects or is deemed to have elected not to cure, then Buyer shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller of such election within five (5) Business Days of the expiration of the Seller Response Period, and this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect and Buyer and Seller shall have no further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder, except for the obligations which expressly survive termination. If Buyer fails to timely notify Seller of any title objection or defect pursuant to this Section 10.1, or Seller elects or is deemed to have elected not to cure any such objection or defect and Buyer does not terminate this Agreement and elects to proceed with the applicable Closing, then such title objection or defect shall be deemed a Permitted Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not be required to object to monetary liens or encumbrances or real property taxes due and payable, and the parties agree that (i) such items shall not be or be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions and (ii) Seller shall be required to satisfy or otherwise procure the release of such items applicable to the portion of the Property that is part of a scheduled Closing at or before each Closing. If any Title Update identifies any matters which do not appear in the pro-forma Title Commitment or any previous Title Update and were placed on such Property after the date of the Title Commitment or previous Title Update, Buyer shall have the right to object to such new or different matters in writing prior to any Closing and Seller shall cure such matters if caused by Seller prior to such Closing.
10.2 Survey. Seller, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall deliver to Buyer and the Title Company a Survey of the Property prepared by a Hawaii licensed surveyor and certified no later than ninety (90) days prior to the effective date of the Title Commitment (the “Initial Survey”). The Initial Survey shall be certified to the Title Agent, the Title Company, Owner, Buyer (or Buyer’s designee) and Buyer’s lender, if applicable, in accordance with the then-current minimum standard detail requirements for ALTA/ASCM land title surveys or such other form as the Buyer and/or the Title Company may reasonably require or approve. The Initial Survey shall show the location of all Improvements, all encroachments of any improvements onto adjoining properties, easements, set‑back lines or rights-of‑way, all encroachments of adjacent improvements on to Property, and any other matters reasonably requested by Buyer, the Title Agent or Title Company. Seller shall pay the cost of the Initial Survey and all updates thereto required by the Title Company; provided that Buyer shall pay the cost of any Survey updates or re-certifications strictly related to Buyer’s condominium or timeshare filings for the Property (if any). Seller acknowledges that updated or new “as-built” Surveys shall be required following Seller’s completion of construction of the
26
Improvements prior to each Closing in order to enable the Title Company to insure the title to the Property in the manner required by Section 10.1 and Seller agrees to furnish as-built Surveys as required by the Title Company or the Seller’s construction lender, at Seller’s expense, to Buyer and the Title Company no later than thirty (30) days prior to each Closing. If the Initial Survey indicates any matter to which Buyer objects, Buyer shall notify the Seller in writing of any such objections or exceptions (the “Survey Exceptions”) prior to the expiration of the Title Review Period. If any updated Survey indicates any new matter not shown on the Initial Survey to which Buyer objects, Buyer shall have until the later of (i) the expiration of the Feasibility Period, or (ii) ten (10) Business Days following Buyer’s actual receipt of such Survey in which to notify the Seller in writing of any such objections or exceptions (the “New Survey Exceptions”). Survey Exceptions and New Survey Exceptions shall be considered as defects in title and the Seller shall have the same rights and duties relating to the remedy of such Survey Exceptions and New Survey Exceptions as are provided in Section 10.1.2 above pertaining to the remedy of title defects. The procedures relating to the raising and curing of Survey Exceptions and New Survey Exceptions shall be the same procedures as are provided in Section 10.1.2 above pertaining to title defects.
10.3 UCC Searches. Seller, at its sole cost and expense, shall obtain and deliver to Buyer, or cause the Title Company to deliver to Buyer, at least ten (10) days prior to each Closing, current searches of all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and federal tax liens filed with the Secretary of State of Hawaii and in the official records of the State of Hawaii or elsewhere with respect to Seller or the portion of the Property that is part of the scheduled Closing. If any of such searches reveals claims or liens encumbering the portion of the Property that is part of a scheduled Closing, then it shall be a condition precedent to such Closing in favor of the Buyer that such financing statement(s) or tax liens be terminated, released or discharged by Seller at or prior to such Closing.

Wherever the phrase “to the best of Seller’s knowledge” or any similar phrase stating or implying a limitation on the basis of knowledge appears in this Agreement, unless specifically otherwise qualified, such phrase shall mean only the actual knowledge of Mark Schwartz and, in the event Mark Schwartz is no longer associated with Seller and/or its affiliates, the individual(s) succeeding Mr. Schwartz on his duties with respect to the Project without any duty of inquiry, any imputation of the knowledge of another to such individuals, or independent investigation of the relevant matter by such individuals, and without any personal liability. Seller hereby represents that such individuals would have the knowledge of the applicable information.
12.Closing. Buyer and Seller acknowledge that there will be multiple Closings under this Agreement on a Building by Building basis as Seller completes each Building, and Seller shall execute and deliver a Deed for each such Closing to Buyer or its designee. Provided all of the conditions set forth in Sections 9.1 and 9.2 of this Agreement are fully satisfied or performed, or waived in writing, the consummation of the sale by Seller and purchase by Buyer of the Units and the rights described in Section 2 contained within any portion of the Project (each, a “Closing”) shall be held on or before (i) the twentieth (20th) day after final and unconditional certificates of occupancy have been issued for the initial Building and the Reception Center identified in the Construction Schedule and satisfaction of all conditions precedent specified herein (the “Initial Closing”); and (ii) the twentieth (20th) day after issuance of a final and unconditional certificate of occupancy for each additional Building and satisfaction of all conditions precedent specified herein. The Closings shall be held at the offices of the Title Agent or by mail or overnight courier service if Buyer so elects. The Title Agent and Seller shall give Buyer not less than twenty (20) days’ notice prior to any Closing. On or prior to the date of a Closing (each, a “Closing Date”), Buyer will deliver Buyer’s Closing Documents described in Section 14 (provided that all closing
32
documents prepared by Seller are timely delivered to Buyer for execution at least five (5) Business Days prior to a Closing Date) and Seller will deliver Seller’s Closing Documents described in Section 13. The Purchase Price for each timeshare residential Unit within a Building at the Closing of each such Building plus the License Fee due at the Initial Closing shall each be paid by Buyer to Seller by cashier’s check or by wire transfer of immediately available United States funds, subject to prorations, adjustments, and credits as otherwise specified in this Agreement. The Title Agent shall record documents where appropriate and disburse funds on each Closing Date, and deliver the documents to the respective parties within five (5) days following a Closing and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and separate joint escrow instructions prepared by Seller and Buyer (the “Escrow Instructions”). When the term “Closing” or other terms are used in this Agreement, such terms shall be interpreted to mean and refer to the applicable Closing and transfer of that portion of the Property to be carried out and consummated.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with the exception of the final Closing, at each Closing Seller agrees to hold back from the Closing proceeds an amount (the “Holdback Amount”) equal to ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price to be paid by Buyer at such Closing (such Holdback Amount being exclusive of any amount held back from such Closing proceeds pursuant to Section 3.6 hereof), which amounts shall be held by Escrow Agent in an interest bearing account (the “Holdback Account”) pursuant to a holdback escrow agreement to be negotiated and reasonably agreed to by Seller, Buyer and Escrow Agent prior to the initial closing (the “Holdback Escrow Agreement”); provided, however, that (i) when the amount in the Holdback Account reaches Six Million One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($6,100,000.00), then no further amounts shall be held back from Closings, and (ii) Seller may, in its sole discretion, elect to receive one hundred percent (100%) of the Purchase Price to be paid by Buyer at any Closing and deposit a letter of credit with Buyer in the applicable Holdback Amount (or to increase a letter of credit previously deposited with Buyer by such Holdback Amount), provided that the issuing bank, and the form and substance, of any such letter(s) of credit (or any instruments increasing the amount of any such letter(s) of credit), are acceptable to Buyer, in Buyer’s reasonable discretion. Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Holdback Escrow Agreement, concurrent with the final Closing, all amounts held in the Holdback Account shall be disbursed to Seller and any letters of credit deposited with Buyer pursuant to this Section 12 shall be released to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing (but subject to Section 17.1.1.2 hereof), if Buyer exercises its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 17.1.1.1 hereof, an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the sum of (1) the amount held in the Holdback Account plus (2) the aggregate amount of any letters of credit deposited with Buyer pursuant to this Section 12, and (b) the sum of the amount of Buyer’s actual damages as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (“Buyer’s Damages”) resulting from Seller’s material default which gave rise to Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 17.1 hereof, shall be disbursed to Buyer out of the Holdback Account and/or may be drawn down by Buyer against any letter of credit(s) deposited with Buyer, which amount shall be applied towards reimbursing Buyer for Buyer’s Damages, and no amounts shall be disbursed to Seller from the Holdback Account nor any letter of credit deposited with Buyer released to Seller, unless and until Buyer is fully reimbursed for Buyer’s Damages.

A request for mediation shall be made in writing, delivered to the other party to this Agreement, and filed with the person or entity administering the mediation within a reasonable time after the dispute has arisen. The request may be made concurrently with the binding dispute resolution but, in such event, mediation shall proceed in advance of binding dispute resolution proceedings, which shall be stayed pending mediation for a period of 30 days from the date of filing, unless stayed for a longer period by agreement of the parties or court order. If an arbitration is stayed pursuant to this Section, the parties may nonetheless proceed to the selection of the arbitrator(s) and agree upon a schedule for later proceedings.
24.2.2 Any claim, subject to, but not resolved by, mediation shall be subject to arbitration which, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association, in accordance with the Construction Industry Arbitration Rules in effect on the date of this Agreement. Demand for arbitration shall be made in writing, delivered to the other party to the Agreement, and filed with the person or entity administering the arbitration. The award rendered by the arbitrator or arbitrators shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
24.2.3 Either party, at its sole discretion, may consolidate an arbitration conducted under this Agreement with any other arbitration to which it is a party provided that (1) the arbitration
44

24.2.4 Any party to an arbitration may include by joinder persons or entities substantially involved in a common question of law or fact whose presence is required if complete relief is to be accorded in arbitration provided that the party sought to be joined consents in writing to such joinder. Consent to arbitration involving an additional person or entity shall not constitute consent to arbitration of a claim not described in the written consent.
24.2.5 The foregoing agreement to arbitrate and other agreements to arbitrate with an additional person or entity duly consented to by parties to the Agreement shall be specifically enforceable under applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
24.2.6 The discovery allowed under this Section 24.2 may pertain to any matter, not privileged, which is involved in the dispute and shall be available for use as evidence in the same manner and for the same reasons as provided by law in suits or proceedings conducted under the laws of the State of Hawaii, except that such discovery shall be limited to only the exchange of documents and depositions and no other discovery shall be permitted. Admissibility of evidence at such arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Rules of Evidence. The agreement to arbitrate contained herein shall be specifically enforceable under applicable law.

In the event any term or provision of this Agreement shall be held illegal, unenforceable or inoperative as a matter of law, the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby, but each such term and provision shall be valid and shall remain in full force and effect if the deletion of the invalid provision shall not destroy the clear intent and purpose of this Agreement or deprive Buyer of a material benefit contemplated by this Agreement.

24.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire understanding between the parties, and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, written or oral, formal or informal.
45
24.7 Pronouns. All pronouns and nouns and variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the parties may require.
24.8 Construction of Agreement. This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one party than the other merely by virtue of the fact that it may have been prepared by counsel for one of the parties.

Each party acknowledges and waives any claim contesting the existence and the adequacy of the consideration given by the other in entering into this Agreement.
24.9 Waivers and Extensions.

After the Effective Date, Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer to make any amendment to this Agreement which is requested by Buyer and which, in Seller’s reasonable discretion, would not have a material adverse effect on Seller.
24.13 Attorney Fees, Expenses, and Costs. Should either party institute arbitration or other legal proceedings founded upon a breach of this Agreement, except as any party’s remedies or recoveries may be otherwise expressly limited hereunder, the prevailing party may request from arbitrator or other judicial officer the recovery from the other party the reasonable attorneys’ and paralegal fees, arbitration costs and other expenses incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such proceedings, on appeal and in bankruptcy or administrative proceedings which interpret or enforce such party’s rights under this Agreement, and such arbitrator or other judicial officer shall award such recovery in their judgment.
24.14 Further Assurances. Seller shall either deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer following the Closings, at any time, and from time to time, such additional and other conveyance documents, assignments and other agreements, as the Buyer may reasonably request, without incurring any material cost or expense to the Seller, to fully effect the purposes of this Agreement and the conveyance of the Property.
46
24.15 Force Majeure.

In any such event, except where expressly noted in this Agreement to the contrary, the time for performance of such obligations shall be extended one day for each day (but not exceeding 180 days) such party is prevented from performing its obligations under this Agreement by such Force Majeure causes.

Buyer covenants and agrees that if such short form agreement is consented to by Seller and recorded, then, at the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement for any reason, Buyer shall execute an instrument confirming cancellation of this Agreement in recordable form.

24.17.2 Escrow Agent agrees to hold in escrow and disburse funds in accordance with terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Holdback Escrow Agreement and the Escrow Instructions. Failure of clearance of funds shall not excuse performance by the Buyer.
