U.S. Bankruptcy Court - Hawaii #25-01103 Dkt # 212 Filed 09/01/26 Page 5 of 14
17. In accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order, the Debtor filed the Notice of Extension of Deadline to Designate Stalking Horse Bidder (Docket No. 161), extending the Stalking Horse Deadline to June 15, 2026. Subsequently, the Debtor filed two additional Notices of Extension of Sale Deadlines (Docket Nos. 190 & 202), extending the Stalking Horse Deadline to August 21, 2026.

A copy of the purchase and sale agreement for the Stalking Horse Bid in

substantially final form (the “Stalking Horse Agreement”)3 is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
20. Pursuant to the Stalking Horse Agreement, if the Debtor sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or any portion of the Property, including through a sale transaction or a plan of reorganization approved by the Bankruptcy Court, to any party other than the Stalking Horse Bidder, the Debtor shall pay the Stalking Horse Bidder a breakup fee equal to $270,000.00 (which is three percent (3%) of the purchase price in the Stalking Horse Agreement) (“Breakup Fee”) plus an amount equal to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Stalking Horse Bidder (including fees and expenses of the Stalking Horse Bidder’s legal, accounting and financial advisors) in connection with the development, negotiation, execution, delivery and approval by the Bankruptcy Court of the Stalking Horse Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in an amount not to exceed $100,000 (“Expense Reimbursement,” and together with the Breakup Fee, the “Stalking Horse Protections”).
21. The Stalking Horse Agreement also reflects several negotiated deal terms that the Debtor believes appropriately allocate risk between the parties consistent with the nature of this bankruptcy sale process. Among other things, the
3 The parties are in the process of negotiating language concerning expense reimbursement, termination remedies, and casualty provisions.

1615699912.5
U.S. Bankruptcy Court - Hawaii #25-01103 Dkt # 212 Filed 09/01/26 Page 7 of 14
Stalking Horse Agreement provides that the Stalking Horse Bidder’s earnest money deposit is subject to forfeiture only in the event of an actual default by the Stalking Horse Bidder under the Stalking Horse Agreement and that the deposit shall be returned to the Stalking Horse Bidder if the transaction does not close because a closing condition has not been satisfied or the Stalking Horse Bidder otherwise has an express right to terminate the Stalking Horse Agreement. The Stalking Horse Agreement further clarifies that there is no financing contingency to the Stalking Horse Bidder’s obligation to close, without representing that the Stalking Horse Bidder will fund the Purchase Price entirely from cash on hand. The Stalking Horse Agreement also includes conforming provisions addressing casualty, survival of representations and covenants, and assignment, intended to operate consistently with the bankruptcy sale process and the other terms described herein.
RELIEF REQUESTED
22. The Debtor requests approval of (a) the Debtor’s determination that the Stalking Horse Bidder constitutes a Qualified Bidder, (b) the Debtor’s determination that the Bid submitted by the Stalking Horse Bidder constitutes a Qualified Bid, (c) the Debtor’s selection and designation of the Stalking Horse Bidder to act as the stalking horse bidder for the Property pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Stalking Horse Agreement, and (d) the Stalking Horse Protections.

23. The Debtor respectfully asserts that designating the Stalking Horse Bidder as the stalking horse bidder for the Property will enhance the Debtor’s ability to maximize value of the Property by setting a floor for the Property which other bidders must exceed. A stalking horse bid will provide the Debtor with certainty and protection against “downside” risk going into the Auction. Accordingly, the Debtor respectfully asserts that designates the Stalking Horse Bidder serves the best interests of Debtor’s estate.
24. The Debtor and the Stalking Horse Bidder have negotiated the Stalking Horse Protections to provide the Stalking Horse Bidder with an incentive to serve in this capacity as well as reimburse the Stalking Horse Bidder for its expenses incurred to provide the Debtor with the aforementioned benefits. The Debtor respectfully asserts that the Stalking Horse Protections are reasonable under the circumstances and is in the best interest of the estate.
BASIS FOR RELIEF
25. Breakup and other termination fees and expense reimbursements are a normal, and in some cases necessary, component of sales outside the ordinary course of business under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. See, e.g., In re Integrated Res., Inc., 147 B.R. 650, 660 (S.D.N.Y. 1992) (noting that breakup fees may be legitimately necessary to convince a single “white knight” to enter the bidding by providing some form of compensation for the risk it is undertaking); In re Crowthers
9
1615699912.5
U.S. Bankruptcy Court - Hawaii #25-01103 Dkt # 212 Filed 09/01/26 Page 9 of 14
McCall Pattern, Inc., 114 B.R. 877, 879 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1990) (breakup fees in merger agreement approved); In re 995 Fifth Ave. Assoc., L.P., 96 B.R. 24, 28-9 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1989) (payment of $500,000 breakup fee to outbid contract vendee following sale of Debtors’ property was not unreasonable absent evidence that fee chilled bidding).
26. Historically, bankruptcy courts have approved bid protections similar to those proposed pursuant to the Bid Procedures proposed here under the “business judgment rule,” under which the courts defer to the actions of corporations taken in good faith and in the exercise of honest judgment. See, e.g., In re 955 Fifth Ave. Associates, L.P., 96 B.R. 24, 28 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1992).
27. In considering whether to approve a breakup fee, courts generally consider the following three factors: (i) the relationship between the initial bidder and the seller; (ii) whether the fee is designed to encourage bidding; and (iii) the size of the fee in relation to the purchase price. See In re Integrated Resources, 147 B.R. at 657–63.
28. First, the Stalking Horse Bidder is not an insider of the Debtor. The Stalking Horse Agreement, including the bid protections set forth therein, was negotiated extensively and at arm’s-length. The Stalking Horse Bidder was not in a position to—and, in fact, did not—exert undue influence or pressure negotiating the Stalking Horse Protections.
10
1615699912.5
U.S. Bankruptcy Court - Hawaii #25-01103 Dkt # 212 Filed 09/01/26 Page 10 of 14
29. Second, obtaining approval and authority to honor the Stalking Horse Protections is designed to facilitate the Debtor’s efforts to assure a sale to a contractually committed bidder at a price the Debtor believes is fair, while at the same time providing the Debtor with the potential of even greater benefit to the estate through a competitive bidding process. The Stalking Horse Bidder will establish a market for the Property, which other bidders will consider—and be required to exceed—in submitting their bids.
30. Third, a breakup fee that constitutes a fair and reasonable percentage of the proposed purchase price and that is reasonably related to the risk, effort, and expenses of the prospective purchaser is generally permissible. See, e.g., In re 995 Fifth Ave. Assoc., 96 B.R. 25, 28 (Bankr. S.D.NY. 1989); In re Integrated Resources, Inc., 147 B.R. at 662 (breakup fee was a reasonable percentage of proposed purchase price and in accord with industry averages).
31. Here, the Breakup Fee is 3% of the offered purchase price. Courts in the Ninth Circuit have routinely approved similar breakup fees and/or expense reimbursements offered to stalking horse bidders. See, e.g., In re Freedom Communications, Inc., No. 15-15311 (Bankr. C.D. Cal, February 5, 2016) (approving a breakup fee of 2.5%); In re Cmty. Healthcare of Douglas, Inc., No. 4:13-BK-01738-BMW, 2013 WL 12291504, at *2 (Bankr. D. Ariz. Oct. 22, 2013) (approving breakup fee of 3.0%); In re Cascade AG Servs., Inc., No. 12-
11
1615699912.5
U.S. Bankruptcy Court - Hawaii #25-01103 Dkt # 212 Filed 09/01/26 Page 11 of 14
18366-KAO, 2012 WL 5943928, at *1 (Bankr. W.D. Wash. Nov. 23, 2012) (approving a breakup fee payable to the stalking horse bidder). 32. This Court has approved minimum overbids that are up to 4.5% of the initial purchase price. See In re Kaumana Drive Partners LLC, Bk. No. 19-01266 (approving $750,000 minimum initial overbid (i.e., 4.29%) of the $17.5 million initial purchase price); In re Pacific Links U.S. Holdings, Inc., Bk. No. 21-00094 (Bankr. D. Haw. 2021) (approving $600,000 minimum overbid (i.e., 2.90%) of the $20.7 million initial purchase price).
33. If a Breakup Fee is paid, it will be because Debtor received higher or otherwise superior Qualified Bids for the Property. In short, the proposed Breakup Fee is fair and reasonable under the circumstances because same would constitute a “fair and reasonable percentage of the proposed purchase price” and are “reasonably related to the risk, effort, and expenses of the prospective purchaser.” In re Integrated Res., Inc., 147 B.R. at 662 (approving a breakup fee of 1.6 percent of the proposed purchase price).
34. The Stalking Horse Protections are beneficial to the Debtor’s estate and its creditors, as the Stalking Horse Agreement establishes a floor for further bidding on the Property. Entering into the Stalking Horse Agreement allows for the Debtor to establish a market for the Property. Moreover, the Stalking Horse Bidder is unwilling to commit to holding open its offer to purchase the Property unless the
12
1615699912.5
U.S. Bankruptcy Court - Hawaii #25-01103 Dkt # 212 Filed 09/01/26 Page 12 of 14
Court approves the Stalking Horse Protections. Thus, absent entry of an order approving the Stalking Horse Protections, the Debtor may lose the opportunity to obtain the highest and best offer it has received to date for the Property.
35. Accordingly, the Stalking Horse Protections should be approved. Request of Waiver of Stay
36. To the extent that the relief sought in the Motion constitutes a use of property under section 363(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, Debtor seeks a waiver of the fourteen-day stay under Bankruptcy Rule 6004(h). As explained herein, the relief requested in this Motion is immediately necessary for Debtor to be able to preserve the value of its estate.
Notice
37. The Debtor will provide notice of this Motion to the following parties and/or their respective counsel, as applicable: (a) the Office of the United States Trustee for the District of Hawaii; (b) Bank of Hawaii; (c) the Rouhier Plaintiffs; (d) the Subchapter V Trustee; and (e) any party that has requested notice pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002. The Debtor submits that, in light of the nature of the relief requested, no other or further notice need be given.
WHEREFORE, the Debtor respectfully requests that the Court enter an order, in substantially the form submitted herewith, granting the relief requested herein and such other relief as is just and proper under the circumstances.

1615699912.5
U.S. Bankruptcy Court - Hawaii #25-01103 Dkt # 212-1 Filed 09/01/26 Page 3 of 45
D. The Bidding Procedures Order authorizes the Debtor to select a Qualified Bidder as a stalking horse bidder for the Property by the Stalking Horse Deadline.
E. In accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order, the Debtor filed the Notice of Extension of Deadline to Designate Stalking Horse Bidder (Docket No. 161), extending the Stalking Horse Deadline to June 15, 2026. Subsequently, the Debtor filed two additional Notices of Extension of Sale Deadlines (Docket Nos. 190 & 202), extending the Stalking Horse Deadline to August 21, 2026. In its Motion, the Debtor provided notice of the receipt of the Stalking Horse Bid and provided for the extension of the Stalking Horse Deadline to the date of its Motion.
F. In accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order, and in the exercise of its business judgment, (i) the Debtor determined that the Stalking Horse Bidder constitutes a Qualified Bidder, (ii) the Debtor determined that the Bid submitted by the Stalking Horse Bidder constitutes a Qualified Bid, and (iii) the Debtor selected and designated the Stalking Horse Bidder to act as the stalking horse bidder for the Property pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Stalking Horse Agreement between the Debtor and the Stalking Horse Bidder, a copy of which was attached as Exhibit B to the Motion.
G. The Debtor has set forth good and sufficient business reasons for the Court to approve the Motion. The good and sufficient reasons articulated by the
1615699912.5
U.S. Bankruptcy Court - Hawaii #25-01103 Dkt # 212-1 Filed 09/01/26 Page 4 of 45
Debtor, which were set forth in the Motion, are incorporated herein by reference and, among other things, form the basis for the findings of fact and conclusions of law set forth herein.
H. Entry of this Order is in the best interests of the Debtor’s estate, its creditors and all other interested parties.
I. The Stalking Horse Protections, including the Breakup Fee and Expense Reimbursement, were negotiated by the Debtor and the Stalking Horse Bidder at arm’s length and in good faith. The Stalking Horse Protections are fair, reasonable, and necessary under the circumstances, are reasonably related to the risk, effort, and expenses incurred and to be incurred by the Stalking Horse Bidder, provide a substantial benefit to the Debtor’s estate, and do not improperly chill or impede bidding for the Property.
J. The Stalking Horse Bidder has incurred, and will continue to incur, time, effort, and expense in connection with the proposed transaction, and has relied upon the availability and enforceability of the Stalking Horse Protections in agreeing to act as the stalking horse bidder for the Property. The Stalking Horse Protections constitute a material inducement for, and condition of, the Stalking Horse Bidder’s willingness to continue to pursue the transaction and to hold open its offer for the benefit of the Debtor’s estate pending the Auction.

2. The Debtor’s determination that the Stalking Horse Bidder constitutes a Qualified Bidder, the Debtor’s determination that the Stalking Horse Agreement constitutes a Qualified Bid, and the Debtor’s selection and designation of the Stalking Horse Bidder to act as the stalking horse bidder for the Property pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Stalking Horse Agreement are APPROVED.

4. Notwithstanding any provision in the Bidding Procedures Order, the Breakup Fee shall solely be payable from the proceeds of an Alternative Transaction (as defined in the Stalking Horse Agreement) simultaneously with the closing of such Alternative Transaction, without further application, notice, hearing or order of the Court.

TITLE TO THE PROPERTY
5.1 Title Commitment. Seller shall cause Title Guaranty of Hawaii, LLC, or such other title insurer reasonably acceptable to the Parties (the “Title Company”), to deliver to Purchaser a complete preliminary title report and commitment for an ALTA owner’s policy of title insurance for the entire Property, together with access to all exception documents, as promptly as practicable following the Effective Date, all at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense.
5.2 Exceptions to Title. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or accepted by Purchaser in writing, Seller shall convey, and Purchaser shall acquire, good and insurable fee simple title to one hundred percent (100%) of the Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. The Property shall otherwise be conveyed free and clear of all Liens, Claims, Interests and other encumbrances pursuant to the Sale Order and the Section 363(h) Judgment.
5.3 Permitted Exceptions and Unpermitted Exceptions. Purchaser shall have ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the complete Title Commitment to deliver written notice to Seller identifying any title matters that Purchaser is unwilling to accept (the “Unpermitted Exceptions”). Any title matter not expressly identified in writing by Purchaser as an Unpermitted Exception shall constitute a “Permitted Exception.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any of the following constitute a Permitted Exception unless expressly accepted in writing by Purchaser: (i) any monetary lien or encumbrance securing an obligation of Seller or any Association Member;
11
U.S. Bankruptcy Court - Hawaii #25-01103 Dkt # 212-1 Filed 09/01/26 Page 19 of 451615682871.5
(ii) any ownership, condominium, timeshare, interval ownership, common-element, Association or other proprietary interest that is required to be sold, transferred, released or extinguished pursuant to the Sale Order or the Section 363(h) Judgment; (iii) any lien, Claim or Interest that the Sale Order requires to be released or transferred to the proceeds of the Sale; or (iv) any matter that would prevent the Title Company from issuing the Owner’s Policy required by Section 5.1. Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of Purchaser’s notice whether Seller will cure each Unpermitted Exception. Seller shall be obligated, at or prior to Closing, to cure or cause the removal from title of the matters described in clauses (i) through (iv) above. With respect to any other Unpermitted Exception that Seller elects not to cure, Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, either (A) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, whereupon the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and neither Party shall have any further liability hereunder except for obligations expressly surviving termination, or (B) waive such objection in writing and accept such matter as a Permitted Exception. Purchaser’s failure to make such election shall not constitute or be deemed an acceptance or waiver of any Unpermitted Exception. Any title matter first appearing in an update or continuation of the Title Commitment after expiration of the initial title-review period shall constitute a new title matter, and Purchaser shall have five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof to object thereto. If necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended for the period reasonably necessary to permit Purchaser to exercise its rights under this Section. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Seller shall have the right extend the Closing Date for a period of up to thirty (30) days solely to effect the cure of an Unpermitted Exception.
5.4 Conveyance of the Property; Owner’s Title Policy. At Closing, Seller shall convey to Purchaser good and insurable fee simple title to one hundred percent (100%) of the Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, and otherwise free and clear of all Liens, Claims, Interests, encumbrances, ownership interests, condominium interests, timeshare interests, interval ownership interests and other interests required to be released, transferred or extinguished pursuant to the Sale Order and the Section 363(h) Judgment.

Further, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless in respect of any and all claims, proceedings, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses, whether or not due and payable, asserted against, incurred or suffered by Seller due to any environmental condition alleged to have arisen after Closing or from the exacerbation after Closing of a condition of the Property that existed prior to Closing.

Except for Seller’s express representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and Closing Conditions contained in this Agreement, the Sale Order and the Section 363(h) Judgment, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (a) the purchase of the Property shall be on an “As Is”, “Where Is”, “With All Faults” basis, subject to wear and tear from the Effective Date until Closing Date, and (b) except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Seller has no obligation to repair any damage to or defect in the Property, replace any of the Property or otherwise remedy any matter affecting the condition of the Property. Purchaser recognizes that Seller would not permit the transfer of the Property except on an “AS IS” “WHERE IS” basis, and acknowledges that Seller has made no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, in connection with the Property other than the express representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the Sale Order and the Section 363(h) Judgment.

Upon Closing, Purchaser shall assume the risk that adverse matters, including but not limited to, construction defects and adverse physical and environmental conditions, may not have been revealed by Purchaser’s investigations, and Purchaser, upon Closing, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, shall be deemed to have waived, relinquished and released Seller from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action (including causes of action in tort), losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and court costs) of any and every kind or character,

Nothing in this Section shall excuse Seller from maintaining the Property as required by this
Agreement, complying with its permit-transfer obligations, delivering the title and possession required by Articles V and X, or satisfying any other express condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close.
6.4 No Reliance on Seller. Purchaser is entering into this Agreement on the basis of Purchaser’s own independent evaluation and investigation, and Purchaser does not rely on any statement or representation by Seller or any of Seller’s representatives. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Seller is not making, and specifically disclaims, any representations, warranties or covenants of any kind or character, express or implied, with respect to the operational, environmental or physical condition of the Property, including, but not limited to, representations, warranties or covenants as to: (a) matters of title, zoning, permitted uses, tax consequences, physical or environmental conditions (including but not limited to Purchaser’s phase one environmental assessment), availability of access, ingress or egress, operating projections, valuations, governmental approvals, governmental regulations or any other matter or thing relating to or affecting the operational, environmental or physical condition of the Property; (b) the value, condition, merchantability, marketability, profitability, suitability or fitness for a particular use or purpose of the Property; (c) the Property’s compliance or non-compliance with Environmental Laws applicable to the Property or the presence or absence of hazardous or toxic materials, wastes or substances on, at or under the Property or migrating to or from the Property; or (d) the manner, quality, state of repair or lack of repair of the Property.

Case No. 25-01103
Association of Apartment Owners of Kauai Beach Villas,
Debtor and Debtor in possession
(Chapter 11) (Subchapter V)
DECLARATION OF LARRY D. WARNER
IN SUPPORT OF DEBTOR’S MOTION FOR ENTRY OF AN ORDER (I) APPROVING DEBTOR’S DESIGNATION OF A STALKING HORSE BIDDER, (II) APPROVING STALKING HORSE BID PROTECTIONS
Larry D. Warner, of full age, hereby certifies and declares pursuant to Title 28 of the United States Code, Section 1746, as follows:
1. I am the President of the Board of Directors of the Apartment Owners of Kauai Beach Villas (the “Debtor” or “Association”) and have served in that capacity since 2021.
2. I make this declaration (this “Declaration”) based on my personal knowledge, a review of documents publicly filed, and/or information available through counsel, agents and/or representatives of the Association.
3. If called upon to testify, I could and would testify competently to the facts set forth in this Declaration.
4. I submit this Declaration in support of the Debtor’s Motion for Entry of an Order (I) Approving Debtor’s Designation of a Stalking Horse Bidder, (II) Approving Stalking Horse Bid Protections, and (III) Granting Related Relief

U.S. Bankruptcy Court - Hawaii #25-01103 Dkt # 212-2 Filed 09/01/26 Page 1 of 2
(the “Motion”) filed herewith. Terms used in this Declaration that are not defined shall have the meanings given them in the Motion
5. The statements in the Motion are true and correct to the best of my information and belief and reflect my understanding and knowledge of the matters and issues regarding this Chapter 11 case.
6. Attached to the Motion as Exhibit B is a true and correct copy of the proposed Stalking Horse Agreement in substantially final form. 7. To date, the Stalking Horse Purchaser is the only party that has submitted an offer to acquire the Property. I understand that the proposed Bid Protections, including Breakup Fee constitute material inducements for the Stalking Horse Purchaser to serve as the “stalking horse” bidder for the Property. 8. Under the circumstances of this case, a prolonged sale process would be detrimental to the estate due to the condition of the Property and the lack of revenue. I believe that the proposed Bid Protections are in the best interest of the estate.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that the foregoing is true and correct
Dated: September 1, 2026 /s/ Larry D. Warner

U.S. Bankruptcy Court - Hawaii #25-01103 Dkt # 212 Filed 09/01/26 Page 5 of 14
17. In accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order, the Debtor filed the Notice of Extension of Deadline to Designate Stalking Horse Bidder (Docket No. 161), extending the Stalking Horse Deadline to June 15, 2026. Subsequently, the Debtor filed two additional Notices of Extension of Sale Deadlines (Docket Nos. 190 & 202), extending the Stalking Horse Deadline to August 21, 2026.
18. The Debtor provides notice that it received a Qualified Bid from the Stalking Horse Bidder and accepted that bid as the Stalking Horse Bidder on or before August 21, 2026, and to the extent that it is necessary, pursuant to its authority under the Bidding Procedures Order, hereby extends the deadline for Designating a Stalking Horse Bid to the date of this Motion.

In accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order, and in the exercise of its business judgment, (a) the Debtor determined that the Stalking Horse Bidder constitutes a Qualified Bidder, (b) the Debtor determined that the Bid submitted by the Stalking Horse Bidder constitutes a Qualified Bid, and (c) the Debtor selected and designated the Stalking Horse Bidder to act as the stalking horse bidder for the Property pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in its Bid (the “Stalking Horse Bid”), which provides for a purchase price of $9,000,000.00 (the “Purchase Price”). A copy of the purchase and sale agreement for the Stalking Horse Bid in

U.S. Bankruptcy Court - Hawaii #25-01103 Dkt # 212 Filed 09/01/26 Page 6 of 14
substantially final form (the “Stalking Horse Agreement”)3 is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
20. Pursuant to the Stalking Horse Agreement, if the Debtor sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or any portion of the Property, including through a sale transaction or a plan of reorganization approved by the Bankruptcy Court, to any party other than the Stalking Horse Bidder, the Debtor shall pay the Stalking Horse Bidder a breakup fee equal to $270,000.00 (which is three percent (3%) of the purchase price in the Stalking Horse Agreement) (“Breakup Fee”) plus an amount equal to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Stalking Horse Bidder (including fees and expenses of the Stalking Horse Bidder’s legal, accounting and financial advisors) in connection with the development, negotiation, execution, delivery and approval by the Bankruptcy Court of the Stalking Horse Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in an amount not to exceed $100,000 (“Expense Reimbursement,” and together with the Breakup Fee, the “Stalking Horse Protections”).
21. The Stalking Horse Agreement also reflects several negotiated deal terms that the Debtor believes appropriately allocate risk between the parties consistent with the nature of this bankruptcy sale process. Among other things, the
3 The parties are in the process of negotiating language concerning expense reimbursement, termination remedies, and casualty provisions.

1615699912.5
U.S. Bankruptcy Court - Hawaii #25-01103 Dkt # 212 Filed 09/01/26 Page 7 of 14
Stalking Horse Agreement provides that the Stalking Horse Bidder’s earnest money deposit is subject to forfeiture only in the event of an actual default by the Stalking Horse Bidder under the Stalking Horse Agreement and that the deposit shall be returned to the Stalking Horse Bidder if the transaction does not close because a closing condition has not been satisfied or the Stalking Horse Bidder otherwise has an express right to terminate the Stalking Horse Agreement. The Stalking Horse Agreement further clarifies that there is no financing contingency to the Stalking Horse Bidder’s obligation to close, without representing that the Stalking Horse Bidder will fund the Purchase Price entirely from cash on hand. The Stalking Horse Agreement also includes conforming provisions addressing casualty, survival of representations and covenants, and assignment, intended to operate consistently with the bankruptcy sale process and the other terms described herein.
RELIEF REQUESTED
22. The Debtor requests approval of (a) the Debtor’s determination that the Stalking Horse Bidder constitutes a Qualified Bidder, (b) the Debtor’s determination that the Bid submitted by the Stalking Horse Bidder constitutes a Qualified Bid, (c) the Debtor’s selection and designation of the Stalking Horse Bidder to act as the stalking horse bidder for the Property pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Stalking Horse Agreement, and (d) the Stalking Horse Protections.

U.S. Bankruptcy Court - Hawaii #25-01103 Dkt # 212 Filed 09/01/26 Page 8 of 14
23. The Debtor respectfully asserts that designating the Stalking Horse Bidder as the stalking horse bidder for the Property will enhance the Debtor’s ability to maximize value of the Property by setting a floor for the Property which other bidders must exceed. A stalking horse bid will provide the Debtor with certainty and protection against “downside” risk going into the Auction. Accordingly, the Debtor respectfully asserts that designates the Stalking Horse Bidder serves the best interests of Debtor’s estate.
24. The Debtor and the Stalking Horse Bidder have negotiated the Stalking Horse Protections to provide the Stalking Horse Bidder with an incentive to serve in this capacity as well as reimburse the Stalking Horse Bidder for its expenses incurred to provide the Debtor with the aforementioned benefits. The Debtor respectfully asserts that the Stalking Horse Protections are reasonable under the circumstances and is in the best interest of the estate.
BASIS FOR RELIEF
25. Breakup and other termination fees and expense reimbursements are a normal, and in some cases necessary, component of sales outside the ordinary course of business under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. See, e.g., In re Integrated Res., Inc., 147 B.R. 650, 660 (S.D.N.Y. 1992) (noting that breakup fees may be legitimately necessary to convince a single “white knight” to enter the bidding by providing some form of compensation for the risk it is undertaking); In re Crowthers
9
1615699912.5
U.S. Bankruptcy Court - Hawaii #25-01103 Dkt # 212 Filed 09/01/26 Page 9 of 14
McCall Pattern, Inc., 114 B.R. 877, 879 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1990) (breakup fees in merger agreement approved); In re 995 Fifth Ave. Assoc., L.P., 96 B.R. 24, 28-9 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1989) (payment of $500,000 breakup fee to outbid contract vendee following sale of Debtors’ property was not unreasonable absent evidence that fee chilled bidding).
26. Historically, bankruptcy courts have approved bid protections similar to those proposed pursuant to the Bid Procedures proposed here under the “business judgment rule,” under which the courts defer to the actions of corporations taken in good faith and in the exercise of honest judgment. See, e.g., In re 955 Fifth Ave. Associates, L.P., 96 B.R. 24, 28 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1992).
27. In considering whether to approve a breakup fee, courts generally consider the following three factors: (i) the relationship between the initial bidder and the seller; (ii) whether the fee is designed to encourage bidding; and (iii) the size of the fee in relation to the purchase price. See In re Integrated Resources, 147 B.R. at 657–63.
28. First, the Stalking Horse Bidder is not an insider of the Debtor. The Stalking Horse Agreement, including the bid protections set forth therein, was negotiated extensively and at arm’s-length. The Stalking Horse Bidder was not in a position to—and, in fact, did not—exert undue influence or pressure negotiating the Stalking Horse Protections.
10
1615699912.5
U.S. Bankruptcy Court - Hawaii #25-01103 Dkt # 212 Filed 09/01/26 Page 10 of 14
29. Second, obtaining approval and authority to honor the Stalking Horse Protections is designed to facilitate the Debtor’s efforts to assure a sale to a contractually committed bidder at a price the Debtor believes is fair, while at the same time providing the Debtor with the potential of even greater benefit to the estate through a competitive bidding process. The Stalking Horse Bidder will establish a market for the Property, which other bidders will consider—and be required to exceed—in submitting their bids.
30. Third, a breakup fee that constitutes a fair and reasonable percentage of the proposed purchase price and that is reasonably related to the risk, effort, and expenses of the prospective purchaser is generally permissible. See, e.g., In re 995 Fifth Ave. Assoc., 96 B.R. 25, 28 (Bankr. S.D.NY. 1989); In re Integrated Resources, Inc., 147 B.R. at 662 (breakup fee was a reasonable percentage of proposed purchase price and in accord with industry averages).
31. Here, the Breakup Fee is 3% of the offered purchase price. Courts in the Ninth Circuit have routinely approved similar breakup fees and/or expense reimbursements offered to stalking horse bidders. See, e.g., In re Freedom Communications, Inc., No. 15-15311 (Bankr. C.D. Cal, February 5, 2016) (approving a breakup fee of 2.5%); In re Cmty. Healthcare of Douglas, Inc., No. 4:13-BK-01738-BMW, 2013 WL 12291504, at *2 (Bankr. D. Ariz. Oct. 22, 2013) (approving breakup fee of 3.0%); In re Cascade AG Servs., Inc., No. 12-
11
1615699912.5
U.S. Bankruptcy Court - Hawaii #25-01103 Dkt # 212 Filed 09/01/26 Page 11 of 14
18366-KAO, 2012 WL 5943928, at *1 (Bankr. W.D. Wash. Nov. 23, 2012) (approving a breakup fee payable to the stalking horse bidder). 32. This Court has approved minimum overbids that are up to 4.5% of the initial purchase price. See In re Kaumana Drive Partners LLC, Bk. No. 19-01266 (approving $750,000 minimum initial overbid (i.e., 4.29%) of the $17.5 million initial purchase price); In re Pacific Links U.S. Holdings, Inc., Bk. No. 21-00094 (Bankr. D. Haw. 2021) (approving $600,000 minimum overbid (i.e., 2.90%) of the $20.7 million initial purchase price).
33. If a Breakup Fee is paid, it will be because Debtor received higher or otherwise superior Qualified Bids for the Property. In short, the proposed Breakup Fee is fair and reasonable under the circumstances because same would constitute a “fair and reasonable percentage of the proposed purchase price” and are “reasonably related to the risk, effort, and expenses of the prospective purchaser.” In re Integrated Res., Inc., 147 B.R. at 662 (approving a breakup fee of 1.6 percent of the proposed purchase price).
34. The Stalking Horse Protections are beneficial to the Debtor’s estate and its creditors, as the Stalking Horse Agreement establishes a floor for further bidding on the Property. Entering into the Stalking Horse Agreement allows for the Debtor to establish a market for the Property. Moreover, the Stalking Horse Bidder is unwilling to commit to holding open its offer to purchase the Property unless the
12
1615699912.5
U.S. Bankruptcy Court - Hawaii #25-01103 Dkt # 212 Filed 09/01/26 Page 12 of 14
Court approves the Stalking Horse Protections. Thus, absent entry of an order approving the Stalking Horse Protections, the Debtor may lose the opportunity to obtain the highest and best offer it has received to date for the Property.
35. Accordingly, the Stalking Horse Protections should be approved. Request of Waiver of Stay
36. To the extent that the relief sought in the Motion constitutes a use of property under section 363(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, Debtor seeks a waiver of the fourteen-day stay under Bankruptcy Rule 6004(h). As explained herein, the relief requested in this Motion is immediately necessary for Debtor to be able to preserve the value of its estate.
Notice
37. The Debtor will provide notice of this Motion to the following parties and/or their respective counsel, as applicable: (a) the Office of the United States Trustee for the District of Hawaii; (b) Bank of Hawaii; (c) the Rouhier Plaintiffs; (d) the Subchapter V Trustee; and (e) any party that has requested notice pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002. The Debtor submits that, in light of the nature of the relief requested, no other or further notice need be given.
WHEREFORE, the Debtor respectfully requests that the Court enter an order, in substantially the form submitted herewith, granting the relief requested herein and such other relief as is just and proper under the circumstances.

1615699912.5
U.S. Bankruptcy Court - Hawaii #25-01103 Dkt # 212-1 Filed 09/01/26 Page 3 of 45
D. The Bidding Procedures Order authorizes the Debtor to select a Qualified Bidder as a stalking horse bidder for the Property by the Stalking Horse Deadline.
E. In accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order, the Debtor filed the Notice of Extension of Deadline to Designate Stalking Horse Bidder (Docket No. 161), extending the Stalking Horse Deadline to June 15, 2026. Subsequently, the Debtor filed two additional Notices of Extension of Sale Deadlines (Docket Nos. 190 & 202), extending the Stalking Horse Deadline to August 21, 2026. In its Motion, the Debtor provided notice of the receipt of the Stalking Horse Bid and provided for the extension of the Stalking Horse Deadline to the date of its Motion.
F. In accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order, and in the exercise of its business judgment, (i) the Debtor determined that the Stalking Horse Bidder constitutes a Qualified Bidder, (ii) the Debtor determined that the Bid submitted by the Stalking Horse Bidder constitutes a Qualified Bid, and (iii) the Debtor selected and designated the Stalking Horse Bidder to act as the stalking horse bidder for the Property pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Stalking Horse Agreement between the Debtor and the Stalking Horse Bidder, a copy of which was attached as Exhibit B to the Motion.
G. The Debtor has set forth good and sufficient business reasons for the Court to approve the Motion. The good and sufficient reasons articulated by the
1615699912.5
U.S. Bankruptcy Court - Hawaii #25-01103 Dkt # 212-1 Filed 09/01/26 Page 4 of 45
Debtor, which were set forth in the Motion, are incorporated herein by reference and, among other things, form the basis for the findings of fact and conclusions of law set forth herein.
H. Entry of this Order is in the best interests of the Debtor’s estate, its creditors and all other interested parties.
I. The Stalking Horse Protections, including the Breakup Fee and Expense Reimbursement, were negotiated by the Debtor and the Stalking Horse Bidder at arm’s length and in good faith. The Stalking Horse Protections are fair, reasonable, and necessary under the circumstances, are reasonably related to the risk, effort, and expenses incurred and to be incurred by the Stalking Horse Bidder, provide a substantial benefit to the Debtor’s estate, and do not improperly chill or impede bidding for the Property.
J. The Stalking Horse Bidder has incurred, and will continue to incur, time, effort, and expense in connection with the proposed transaction, and has relied upon the availability and enforceability of the Stalking Horse Protections in agreeing to act as the stalking horse bidder for the Property. The Stalking Horse Protections constitute a material inducement for, and condition of, the Stalking Horse Bidder’s willingness to continue to pursue the transaction and to hold open its offer for the benefit of the Debtor’s estate pending the Auction.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or accepted by Purchaser in writing, Seller shall convey, and Purchaser shall acquire, good and insurable fee simple title to one hundred percent (100%) of the Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.

11

(ii) any ownership, condominium, timeshare, interval ownership, common-element, Association or other proprietary interest that is required to be sold, transferred, released or extinguished pursuant to the Sale Order or the Section 363(h) Judgment; (iii) any lien, Claim or Interest that the Sale Order requires to be released or transferred to the proceeds of the Sale; or (iv) any matter that would prevent the Title Company from issuing the Owner’s Policy required by Section 5.1. Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of Purchaser’s notice whether Seller will cure each Unpermitted Exception. Seller shall be obligated, at or prior to Closing, to cure or cause the removal from title of the matters described in clauses (i) through (iv) above. With respect to any other Unpermitted Exception that Seller elects not to cure, Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, either (A) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, whereupon the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and neither Party shall have any further liability hereunder except for obligations expressly surviving termination, or (B) waive such objection in writing and accept such matter as a Permitted Exception. Purchaser’s failure to make such election shall not constitute or be deemed an acceptance or waiver of any Unpermitted Exception. Any title matter first appearing in an update or continuation of the Title Commitment after expiration of the initial title-review period shall constitute a new title matter, and Purchaser shall have five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof to object thereto. If necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended for the period reasonably necessary to permit Purchaser to exercise its rights under this Section. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Seller shall have the right extend the Closing Date for a period of up to thirty (30) days solely to effect the cure of an Unpermitted Exception.
5.4 Conveyance of the Property; Owner’s Title Policy.

IN THE UNITED STATE BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF HAWAII
Case No. 25-01103
Association of Apartment Owners of Kauai Beach Villas,
Debtor and Debtor in possession
(Chapter 11) (Subchapter V)
DECLARATION OF LARRY D. WARNER
IN SUPPORT OF DEBTOR’S MOTION FOR ENTRY OF AN ORDER (I) APPROVING DEBTOR’S DESIGNATION OF A STALKING HORSE BIDDER, (II) APPROVING STALKING HORSE BID PROTECTIONS
Larry D. Warner, of full age, hereby certifies and declares pursuant to Title 28 of the United States Code, Section 1746, as follows:
1. I am the President of the Board of Directors of the Apartment Owners of Kauai Beach Villas (the “Debtor” or “Association”) and have served in that capacity since 2021.
2. I make this declaration (this “Declaration”) based on my personal knowledge, a review of documents publicly filed, and/or information available through counsel, agents and/or representatives of the Association.
3. If called upon to testify, I could and would testify competently to the facts set forth in this Declaration.
4. I submit this Declaration in support of the Debtor’s Motion for Entry of an Order (I) Approving Debtor’s Designation of a Stalking Horse Bidder, (II) Approving Stalking Horse Bid Protections, and (III) Granting Related Relief
1615699912.5
U.S. Bankruptcy Court - Hawaii #25-01103 Dkt # 212-2 Filed 09/01/26 Page 1 of 2
(the “Motion”) filed herewith. Terms used in this Declaration that are not defined shall have the meanings given them in the Motion
5. The statements in the Motion are true and correct to the best of my information and belief and reflect my understanding and knowledge of the matters and issues regarding this Chapter 11 case.
6. Attached to the Motion as Exhibit B is a true and correct copy of the proposed Stalking Horse Agreement in substantially final form. 7. To date, the Stalking Horse Purchaser is the only party that has submitted an offer to acquire the Property. I understand that the proposed Bid Protections, including Breakup Fee constitute material inducements for the Stalking Horse Purchaser to serve as the “stalking horse” bidder for the Property. 8. Under the circumstances of this case, a prolonged sale process would be detrimental to the estate due to the condition of the Property and the lack of revenue. I believe that the proposed Bid Protections are in the best interest of the estate.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that the foregoing is true and correct
Dated: September 1, 2026 /s/ Larry D. Warner
