A court authorized this Notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.
You may have already received a previous Notice concerning this same settlement. This Notice provides
updates on the settlement, including new deadlines for the settlement process and specifying the date on
which you must own your home to qualify for a $5,000 payment.
If you have already submitted a verification form and still wish to qualify for the $5,000 payment, you do
not need to submit a new verification form or do anything more to qualify.
You may only qualify for one $5,000 payment per qualifying Structure. You are not entitled to a second or
an additional $5,000 payment even though you may be receiving a second notice concerning this Settlement.
A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Haseko Homes, Inc., Haseko Construction,
Inc., Ke Noho Kai Development, LLC, Spinnaker Place Development, LLC, The Fairway’s Edge
Development, LLC, Foundations Hawai’i, Inc., Coastal Construction Co., Inc., Simpson Manufacturing Co.,
Inc., Simpson Strong-Tie Company, Honolulu Wood Treating Company, Ltd., and KC Metal Products, Inc.
(“Defendants”) about whether the embedded “L” shaped hurricane straps installed in Ocean Pointe homes
are defective.
You received this Notice because you may be part of the Hurricane Straps Repose Subclass in this
Settlement. The “Hurricane Straps Repose Subclass” includes all individual and entity homeowners who
own homes on the date the Court enters Final Orders and Judgments constructed with Hurricane Straps that
were substantially completed before November 18, 1999 in the Ocean Pointe Project, located in the District
of Ewa, City and County of Honolulu, Island of O’ahu, State of Hawai’i.
If you are included in the Hurricane Straps Repose Subclass, you may qualify for a $5,000 payment for each
qualifying home owned if you are the owner of the affected structure on the date the Court enters Final
Orders and Judgments. The Final Judgment Date is defined below and also in Paragraph 41 of the Master
Class Action Settlement and Release Agreement, a copy of which can be found on the class website. If the
sale of your property closes before the Court enters Final Judgment in the case, you are required to inform
the buyer of the settlement, and the buyer will instead qualify for the $5,000 payment if a valid verification
form has been submitted.
Your legal rights are affected whether you act or don’t act. Read this Notice carefully.

BASIC INFORMATION
1. What is a class action?
In a class action, one or more people known as a Plaintiff or Class Representative sue on behalf of all people
who have similar claims. The people included in the class action are called a Class and the Class consists of
Class Members. The claims of the Class and Class Members are resolved together by one court. Class Members
have the option to exclude themselves from (or opt out of) the Class, object to the Settlement, submit a
Verification Form to receive benefits or do nothing. If a Class Member elects to be excluded from the Class, he
or she will not be bound by the results of this class action and they will not receive any benefits from the
Settlement. More information regarding Class Member’s rights and the steps that need to be taken to exercise
those rights is provided below.
In this case, Ocean Pointe homeowner Jeffrey Powell has been appointed by the Court as the Hurricane Straps
Subclass Representative.
2. What is this class action lawsuit about?
This lawsuit is about the embedded “L” shaped hurricane straps installed in certain Ocean Pointe homes. The
hurricane straps attach the frame of the home to its concrete foundation. Plaintiffs claim the embedded “L”
shaped hurricane straps are defective. “Hurricane Straps” are metal anchor straps, holdowns and connectors
embedded in the concrete foundation and connected to the frames of the Structures.
Defendants deny all of Plaintiffs’ claims and allegations in the lawsuit.
3. Why did I receive this Notice?
You received this Notice because records indicate that you own a home in the Ocean Pointe Project, located in
the District of Ewa, that was built before November 18, 1999 and therefore you are included in the Settlement
as a Hurricane Repose Subclass Member.
4. Why is there a Settlement in this class action lawsuit?
The Court did not decide which side was right or whether the embedded “L” shaped hurricane straps are
defective. Instead, both sides agreed to a Settlement to avoid the costs and risks of further litigation and provide
benefits to Class Members. The Settlement does not mean that a Court found that the Defendants broke any
laws or did anything wrong. The Class Representatives and the lawyers representing them and the Class
(called “Class Counsel”) believe that the Settlement is in the best interests of all Class Members.
5. Why was this Notice issued?
A state court authorized this Notice because you have a right to know about the proposed Settlement of this
class action lawsuit and about all of your options, before the Court decides whether to approve the Settlement.
This Notice explains the lawsuit, the Settlement, your legal rights, what benefits are available, and who may
qualify for them.
Judge Rhonda A. Nishimura of the Circuit Court of the First Circuit, Hawai’i is overseeing this class action.
The cases that have been consolidated for this Settlement are known as Charles v. Haseko Homes, No.
09-1-1932-08 (RAN) and Alvarez v. Haseko Homes, Inc., No. 09-1-2691-11 (RAN). The homeowners who sued

Kai Development, LLC, Spinnaker Place Development, LLC, The Fairway’s Edge Development, LLC,
Foundations Hawaii, Inc., Coastal Construction Co., Inc., Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc., Simpson StrongTie Company, Inc., Honolulu Wood Treating Co., Ltd., and KC Metal Products, Inc., are called the Defendants.
THE SETTLEMENT CLASS—WHO IS INCLUDED
6. Who is included in the Settlement?
The Settlement includes a Hurricane Straps Repose Subclass consisting of all individual and entity homeowners
who own homes on the date the Court enters Final Orders and Judgments constructed with Hurricane Straps that
were substantially completed before November 18, 1999 in the development known as the Ocean Pointe Project
located in the District of Ewa, City and County of Honolulu, Island of O‘ahu, State of Hawai‘i.
The Settlement also includes a larger Class of Hurricane Straps Class Members. The Hurricane Straps Class
consists of all eligible individual and entity homeowners who own homes on the date the Court enters Final
Orders and Judgments constructed with Hurricane Straps that were substantially completed on or after
November 18, 1999 in the development known as the Ocean Pointe Project located in the District of Ewa, City
and County of Honolulu, Island of O‘ahu, State of Hawai‘i.
NOTE: Hurricane Straps Repose Subclass Members and Hurricane Straps Class Members are also Class
Members in the PEX Brass Plumbing Litigation (Kai v. Haseko Homes, Inc., No. 09-1-2834-12 (GWBC),
(the “PEX Litigation”). You will receive a separate class notice about the settlement of the PEX Litigation.
7. Who isn’t included in the Settlement?
The following are excluded from the Hurricane Repose Subclass: (i) people who validly and timely exclude
themselves; (ii) people who have settled with, released, or otherwise had their claims adjudicated on the merits
against Defendants that are substantially similar to those alleged in the litigation; (iii) people with only personal
injury claims as a result of the alleged defects; (iv) the Honorable Rhonda A. Nishimura, the Honorable Gary
W.B. Chang, and any other state or federal judge that is or has presided over any one or all of the litigation,
including any related appeals, and any other related cases; (v) governmental agencies and entities; and
(vi) people who close the sale of their home before the date the Court enters Final Judgment in the case.
THE SETTLEMENT BENEFITS–WHAT YOU GET IF YOU QUALIFY
8. What does the Settlement provide?
A Settlement Fund in the amount of $28,223,023 will be created if the Settlement is approved and becomes
final. The Settlement Fund will be used to pay for the $5,000 payments to the Hurricane Straps Repose Subclass
Members, a Hurricane Strap Home Repair Program for the Hurricane Straps Class Members, the
Administrator’s fees and costs, the Notice Plan, the Verification Process, the Special Master’s fees and costs,
incentive awards for the Class Representatives, court-approved attorneys’ fees and costs, and make payments to
Hurricane Straps Repose Subclass Members.
If any money remains after making the payments listed above, the balance of the Settlement Fund will be
distributed as provided for in Paragraph 2 of Exhibit 1 to the Master Class Action Settlement and Release
Agreement, which is available on the class website.

9. What can I get from the Settlement?
Hurricane Repose Subclass Members who submit a valid Verification Form will receive a $5,000 payment for
each qualifying home or structure they own as of the date of the Final Judgment in the case. The Court has also
found that the Association of Apartment Owners of Ke Aina Kai Townhomes, Increments 1-12 (“Ke Aina Kai
AOAO”) may make special assessments that account for and credit the Ke Aina Kai AOAO for the $5,000
payments made to Repose Subclass Members that are part of the Ke Aina Kai AOAO pursuant to the
Declaration of Condominium Property Regime of Ke Aina Kai Townhomes, Section J.12(b)(iv).

12. What rights am I giving up to get a payment and stay in the Hurricane Straps Repose Subclass?
Unless you exclude yourself, you are staying in the Hurricane Straps Repose Subclass and this Settlement.
Upon final approval of the Settlement by the Court pursuant to the entry of the Final Order and Judgment, you
will be legally bound by the Court’s Final Order and Judgment, and all other Court’s orders, and shall be
deemed to have released Defendants from the Released Claims described in Question 13 below. You won’t be
able to sue, continue to sue, or be part of any other lawsuit against the Defendants for the legal issues and
claims resolved by this Settlement. The specific claims and rights you are giving up are called Released Claims
(see Question 13, below).
13. What are the Released Claims?
The “Released Claims” mean that in exchange for the Settlement, all Hurricane Repose Subclass Members, on
behalf of themselves and their agents, heirs, executors, administrators, successors, assigns, insurers, attorneys,
representatives, shareholders, owners associations, and any and all Persons who seek to claim through or in the
name or right of any of them, release, acquit and forever discharge (as by an instrument under seal without
further act by any person, and upon good and sufficient consideration) Defendants and all other persons, entities
or companies from, against, and on account of, any and all Hurricane Straps Claims except for those for bodily
injury, which they now have or have ever had, and whether known or unknown. “Hurricane Straps Claims”
means any and all past, present, and future claims, controversies, disputes, actions, causes of action, suits,

and/or 107H, federal, state, or local statute or law, common law, whether in law or equity, whether contingent
or uncertain, whether latent or patent, whether known or unknown, and whether anticipated or not, in any
manner involving, resulting from, arising out of, connected or traceable to, or in any way relating to, either
directly or indirectly, to the Hurricane Straps Lawsuit, including any and all claims asserted therein; the design,
manufacturing, and/or installation of Hurricane Straps, including, but not limited to, any alleged corrosion,
cracking, discoloration, and/or spalling of the concrete foundations of Ocean Pointe homes; and/or the
Hurricane Straps Repair Program.
EXCLUDING YOURSELF FROM THE SETTLEMENT
If you want to keep the right to sue or continue to sue the Defendants about the legal claims in this lawsuit, and
you don’t want to receive benefits from this Settlement or the settlement of the PEX Litigation, you must take
steps to exclude yourself. This is called excluding yourself or is sometimes called opting out of the Settlement.
14. How do I opt out of the Settlement?
To exclude yourself from the Settlement, you must mail a letter to the Claims Administrator stating that you
want to be excluded from the Hurricane Straps Repose Subclass or Hurricane Straps Class (whichever is
applicable) in Charles v. Haseko Homes, No. 09-1-1932-08 (RAN) and Alvarez v. Haseko Homes, Inc.,
No. 09-1-2691-11 (RAN). Your letter must also include: (1) your name, current address and telephone number;
(2) the address of the home or structure you wish to have excluded, if different than your current address;
(3) the name and contact information for the owner of the home or structure, if different from you; and (4) your
signature or the signature of the home or structure owner. To be valid, your exclusion request must be mailed to
the Claims Administrator at the address below with a postmark no later than May 29, 2015.
Ocean Pointe Claims Administrator
P.O. Box 43347, Providence, RI 02940-3347
If you are also a Class Member in the PEX Litigation and you exclude yourself from this Settlement, you will
automatically exclude yourself from that settlement as well. You cannot exclude yourself from this Settlement
and still receive the benefits of PEX Litigation settlement. Likewise, you cannot exclude yourself from the
PEX Litigation settlement and also receive the benefits of this Settlement.
15. If I exclude myself, will I still get a payment from this Settlement?
No. If you exclude yourself from the Settlement, you are telling the Court that you don’t want to be part of the
Hurricane Straps Repose Subclass in this Settlement. You can only get a payment if you stay in the Hurricane
Straps Repose Subclass (and PEX Litigation settlement Class, if applicable) and submit a valid Verification
Form as described above.
16. If I don’t exclude myself, can I sue the Defendants for the same thing later?
No. Unless you exclude yourself, you are giving up the right to sue the Defendants for the claims that this
Settlement resolves. You must exclude yourself from this Settlement to start or continue with your own lawsuit
or be part of any other lawsuit.
The claims made in this lawsuit by the Hurricane Straps Repose Subclass Members were previously dismissed
by the Court. The Court ruled that those claims are barred by the statute of repose (a rule that prevents
Hurricane Straps Repose Subclass Members from bringing claims on homes that were constructed with
Hurricane Straps before November 18, 1999). If you choose to opt out of this Settlement, Hurricane Straps
Repose Subclass Members’ claims may be barred by the statute of repose which means you may not be able to
receive any money or benefits related to the Hurricane Straps in your home.

THE LAWYERS REPRESENTING YOU AND THE SETTLEMENT CLASS
17. Do I have a lawyer in this case?
Yes. The Court appointed Melvin Y. Agena of the Law Offices of Melvin Y. Agena, Glenn K. Sato of the
Law Office of Glenn K. Sato, and Graham B. LippSmith of Kasdan LippSmith Weber Turner LLP to represent
you and other Class Members. Together these lawyers are called Class Counsel. You will not be charged for
these lawyers. If you want to be represented by your own lawyer, you may hire one at your own expense.
18. How will Class Counsel be paid?
Class Counsel will ask the Court for attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses of up to $8,780,877, plus any Hawai’i
General Excise and Use Tax. If approved by the Court, these fees, costs and expenses as well as incentive
awards to the Class Representatives (not to exceed $5,000 per home or structure owned by each) and the costs
associated with administering the Settlement, will be paid from the Settlement Fund before making repairs and
payments to Settlement Class Members who submit valid Verification Forms.
OBJECTING TO THE SETTLEMENT
You can tell the Court if you don’t agree with the Settlement or any part of it.
19. How do I tell the Court if I don’t like the Settlement?
If you’re a Settlement Class Member and do not request exclusion, you can object to the Settlement. You can
give reasons why you think the Court should not approve it. The Court will consider your views before making
a decision. To object, you must prepare, sign and mail a written objection stating that you object to the
Settlement in Charles v. Haseko Homes, No. 09-1-1932-08 (RAN) and Alvarez v. Haseko Homes, Inc.,
No. 09-1-2691-11 (RAN). Your written objection must state: (1) your full name, current address, and telephone
number; (2) the address of the home or structure included in the Settlement, if different than your current
address; (3) the name of the owner of the home or structure, if different from you; (4) state that you have
reviewed the definitions of the Hurricane Straps Class and Hurricane Straps Repose Subclass, you understand
that you are a member one or more of the Hurricane Straps Class or Hurricane Straps Repose Subclass, identify
which Class or Subclass you are included in and state that you have not opted out of that Class or Subclass;
(5) all legal and factual bases for the objection being made; (6) provide copies of any documents that you wish
to submit relating to your objection; (7) whether you intend to appear at the Fairness hearing and, if so, whether
you will bring your own attorney; and (8) your signature or the signature of the home or structure owner. To be
valid, your objection must be sent via first-class mail to the Claims Administrator at the address below with a
postmark no later than May 29, 2015.
Ocean Pointe Claims Administrator
P.O. Box 43347
Providence, RI 02940-3347
20. What’s the difference between objecting and asking to be excluded from the Settlement?
Objecting is simply telling the Court that you don’t like something about the Settlement. You can object only if
you stay in the Settlement Class (do not exclude yourself). Excluding yourself is telling the Court that you don’t
want to be part of the Settlement Class. If you exclude yourself, you cannot object because the Settlement no
longer affects you.

THE COURT’S FAIRNESS HEARING
The Court will hold a hearing to decide whether to approve the Settlement. You may attend and you may ask to
speak at the hearing if you give the required notice, but you don’t have to.
21. When and where will the Court decide whether to approve the Settlement?
The Court will hold a Fairness Hearing at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, June 12, 2015, at the Circuit Court of the First
Circuit, State of Hawai’i, Ka`ahumanu Hale, 777 Punchbowl Street, 4th Floor, Courtroom 12, Honolulu,
Hawai’i 96813-5093, to consider whether the Settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate and decide whether to
approve it. If there are objections, the Court will consider them. The Court will listen to people who have given
the required notice that they would like to speak at the hearing (see Questions 22 and 23, below). The Court
may also decide the amount of fees, costs and expenses for Class Counsel and the payment amount to the Class
Representatives. At or after the hearing, the Court will decide whether to approve the Settlement. We do not
know how long these decisions will take.
22. Do I have to come to the hearing?
No. Class Counsel is working on your behalf and will answer any questions Judge Nishimura may have about
the Settlement. But you are welcome to come at your own expense. If you file an objection to the Settlement,
you don’t have to come to Court to talk about it. As long as you mailed your written objection on time, signed it
and provided all of the required information (see Question 19) the Court will consider it. You may also pay your
own lawyer to attend, but it’s not necessary.
23. May I speak at the hearing?
Yes. You may ask the Court to speak at the Fairness Hearing. To do so, you must file a written request with the
Court saying that it is your “Notice of Intent to Appear at the Fairness Hearing in Charles v. Haseko Homes,
No. 09-1-1932-08 (RAN) and Alvarez v. Haseko Homes, Inc., No. 09-1-2691-11 (RAN).” You must include
your name, address, phone number, and signature. If you plan to have your own attorney speak for you at the

Your written request must be filed with the Claims Administrator by May 29, 2015 (see Question 19).
IF YOU DO NOTHING
24. What happens if I don’t do anything?
If you do nothing, you won’t get any benefits from this Settlement. If the Court approves the Settlement, you

of any other lawsuit against the Defendants about the legal issues or claims resolved by this Settlement.
