PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT
FOR RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY AT AINA LE‘A
This Purchase and Sale Agreement for Residential Property at Aina Le‘a (“Agreement”) is made effective as of October 16, 2015 (“Effective Date”) by Aina Le‘a, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), and Bridge Aina Le‘a, LLC, a Hawaii limited liability company (“Seller”).
Seller owns the real property on the Island of Hawaii, State of Hawaii, designated as Tax Map Key No. (3) 6-8-001-038, Lot No. B-1-A, consisting of approximately 628.316 acres, and Tax Map Key No. (3) 6-8-001-039, Lot No. D-1-A consisting of approximately 383.033 acres (collectively, “Residential Property”).
Buyer desires to acquire, and Seller desires to sell, the Residential Property according to the terms of this Agreement.
Therefore, Buyer and Seller (collectively, “Parties”) agree as follows:
1. Acquisition. On November 16, 2015 (“Closing Date”), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller will convey, and Buyer will acquire, the Residential Property and all of Seller’s right, title, and interest to the Residential Property for a purchase price of $24,000,000.00 USD (“Purchase Price”), plus committed infrastructure costs.
2. Negotiation-Costs Reimbursement and Deposit. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Buyer paid $20,000.00 USD (“Negotiation-Costs Reimbursement”) directly to Seller before the execution of this Agreement. Within one Business Day after the Parties’ mutual execution of this Agreement, Buyer will also pay directly to Seller in cash $220,000.00 USD (“Deposit”). The Negotiation-Costs Reimbursement and Deposit will be applied to the Purchase Price.
3. Payment of Purchase Price; Mortgage; Lender’s Policy. At Closing, Buyer will pay $10,000,000.00 USD (“Closing Payment”), including the Deposit, of the Purchase Price to Seller in immediately-available funds. Buyer will pay the remaining $14,000,000.00 USD balance of the Purchase Price after Closing according to the terms of the Promissory Note attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A (“Note”), the effective date of which will be the date Closing occurs. Repayment of the Note will be secured by a Purchase-Money Mortgage, Security Agreement, and Financing Statement encumbering the Residential Property in favor of Seller substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached to this Agreement (“Mortgage”). At Closing, Buyer will (at Buyer’s cost) cause Old Republic Title & Escrow of Hawaii, Ltd., 33 Lono Avenue, Suite 195, Kahului, HI 96732 (“Escrow”) to issue an ALTA lender’s title-insurance policy for the Mortgage to Seller, in the amount of the unpaid Purchase Price, subject only to the Approved Title Exceptions (defined below) (“Lender Policy”). The Lender Policy may contain an exception to coverage for not having obtained a recent ALTA survey on the Residential Property. The rights and obligations of this Section will survive Closing. “Closing” means the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

4. No Due-Diligence Inspection.
4.1 Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, before the Effective Date, Seller gave Buyer every opportunity to inspect, examine, research, and investigate all aspects of the Residential Property and all relevant documents relating to the Residential Property, and to have one or more professionals of Buyer’s choice inspect, examine, research, and investigate the Residential Property and all documents relating to the Residential Property. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller fully cooperated in all Buyer’s due diligence efforts and that Buyer performed all due diligence Buyer wished to conduct, such as obtaining appraisals and Residential Property surveys, investigations concerning the availability of development approvals required from any governmental agencies for Buyer’s proposed operation, use, or development of the Residential Property, any environmental review under applicable law, the imposition of any fees, charges, or exceptions by any governmental agencies and such economic feasibility and marketing studies Buyer deemed appropriate. Buyer had every opportunity to freely consult with any governmental agency concerning the condition of the Residential Property, its entitlements, or regulatory terms and conditions of the approval.
4.2 Because Buyer has had every opportunity and was given complete, full, and extended access to conduct due diligence on the Residential Property, Buyer is not being provided with a further inspection or due-diligence period under this Agreement.

No patent or latent condition affecting the Residential Property in any way will affect Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement, nor will any such condition give rise to any right of damage or rescission or any other legal, equitable, or statutory remedy against Seller.
4.3 Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer has reviewed and approved the list of exceptions and encumbrances to title to the Residential Property set forth in the Preliminary Report, Order Number 6829000904-DD, for the Residential Property issued by Escrow and dated January 29, 2015 at 8:00 a.m. (“Preliminary Report”).

23. Termination and Default.
23.1 Buyer’s Default.
23.1.1 If Buyer fails to purchase the Residential Property from Seller by the Closing Date according to the terms of this Agreement as a result of Buyer’s default, and Seller is not then in default of this Agreement, then Seller may, without limiting any other rights available to Seller (whether in contract, at law, or in equity), take any one or more of the following actions: (a) terminate this Agreement by giving notice as required by this Agreement and retain the Negotiation-Costs Reimbursement and Deposit as liquidated damages; or (b) require specific performance from Buyer, in addition to (and not in limitation of) any other damages and remedies which may be available at law or in equity.
23.1.2 The Parties acknowledge and agree that: (a) the Negotiation-Costs Reimbursement and Deposit are intended to partially reimburse Seller for Seller’s attorneys’ fees and other costs of negotiating this transaction if Closing does not occur, and (b) if Seller elects to terminate this Agreement and retain the Negotiation-Costs Reimbursement and Deposit, the Negotiation-Costs Reimbursement and Deposit will be liquidated damages as Seller’s full remedy in full settlement of any claim for damages at law, in equity, or otherwise. The Parties acknowledge the difficulty of determining actual damages if Buyer defaults, that it is impossible to more precisely estimate Seller’s damages upon such a default, that such liquidated damages are not intended as a penalty but as full liquidated damages, and that such amount constitutes a good-faith estimate of Seller’s potential damages arising from a material default.
23.2 Seller’s Default. Subject to all of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, if Seller fails to convey the Residential Property to Buyer by the Closing Date according to the terms of this Agreement as a result of Seller’s default, and Buyer is not then in default under the Agreement, then Buyer will be entitled to specific performance as Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy.

24.3 “Material Default” means: (a) a breach, default, or violation by Buyer of Section 7 Buyer’s Covenants, Representations, and Warranties, Section 20 Conditions Precedent, Section 21 Closing Obligations, or Section 22 Closing Order, or (b) the occurrence of any Material Default (as that term is defined in any Ancillary Agreement) under any Ancillary Agreement.
25. Risk of Loss. Buyer bears all risk of loss for any damage to the Residential Property before the Closing Date. Buyer will not have the right to terminate this Agreement or not proceed with Closing because of any damage or destruction to the Residential Property.
26. Condemnation. If more than 10% of the square footage of the Residential Property is condemned or under condemnation pursuant to a notice of taking by appropriate authority before the Closing Date, Seller will promptly notify Buyer and Escrow and will not settle or consent to any condemnation without Buyer’s prior written consent. Within 10 days following receipt of such notice, Buyer will notify Seller and Escrow in writing of Buyer’s election to either (a) terminate this Agreement, in which case all rights, obligations, and liabilities of the Parties under this Agreement will terminate (except for those set forth in this Agreement which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement), or (b) purchase the Residential Property subject to the condemnation, taking an assignment from Seller of all of Seller’s rights in and to any condemnation awards and continue this Agreement in full force and effect.
27. Construction Plans. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Section 1(d) Notice to and Approval by Bridge of the Easements/Utilities Agreement provides that all designs and plans for the Improvements (as that term is defined in the Easements/Utilities Agreement) are subject to Bridge’s prior written approval. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Buyer provided Seller with certain designs and plans via dropbox, a link to which was sent to Buyer by email on September 30, 2015, which designs and plans are listed on Exhibit L to this Agreement (“Current Designs/Plans”) (which constitute only a portion of the designs and plans Aina Le‘a is required to provide under Section 1(d) Notice to and Approval by Bridge of the Easements/Utilities Agreement). Notwithstanding the deadline otherwise imposed by Section 1(d) Notice to and Approval by Bridge of the Easements/Utilities Agreement, if Closing occurs, Seller will have 60 days from the Effective Date to review the Current Designs/Plans before Seller will be deemed to have approved such designs or plans under Section 1(d) Notice to and Approval by Bridge of the Easements/Utilities Agreement. The 60-day deadline under this Section will not change otherwise the deadline under Section 1(d) Notice to and Approval by Bridge of the Easements/Utilities Agreement with respect to future designs and plans provided by Buyer. The provisions of this Section will survive Closing.
28. Brokers. Each Party warrants and represents to the other that no broker, finder, or other person is entitled to a commission, finder’s fee, or other compensation in connection with this Agreement. Each Party will indemnify and hold the other harmless from any claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorney fees) arising from the claims of any broker, finder, or other person for such compensation, arising
397880
Page 13
by, under, or through such Party. The provisions of this Section will survive Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.
29. Miscellaneous.
29.1 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT WHICH ANY PARTY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING, LITIGATION, OR COUNTERCLAIM BASED ON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY LAWSUIT IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY WILL PRESENT AS A NON-COMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM IN ANY SUCH LAWSUIT ANY CLAIM BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.
29.2 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence with regard to the provisions of this Agreement.
29.3 Computation of Time. The calculation of any time period provided in this Agreement will not include the day on which the time period begins, but will include the last day of the time period.

Unless otherwise provided, the last day of any time period ends at 4:30 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time. “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, federal holiday, or Hawaii State holiday (as defined in Hawaii Revised Statutes § 8-1).

29.11 Waiver. A failure by Seller to require strict performance of any provision of this Agreement, or to exercise any right or remedy arising because of a breach, is not a waiver of such breach or any other covenant, duty, agreement, or condition. Any extension or waiver by Seller of any provision in this Agreement will be valid only if set forth in a writing signed by Seller.
29.12 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a written instrument executed by all of the Parties who would be affected by the amendment.
29.13 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality, and enforceability of such provision in every other respect and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not, at the election of the Party for whose benefit the provision exists, be in any way impaired.
29.14 Applicable Law. The Parties intend for this Agreement to be governed by and interpreted according to the internal laws of the State of Hawaii, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law.

29.18 Drafting. No provision of this Agreement may be interpreted for or against any Party on the basis that it drafted such provision, and no presumption or burden of proof may arise disfavoring or favoring any Party because of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

PROMISSORY NOTE
$14,000,000.00 USD | _________________, 2015 |
This Promissory Note (“Note”) is made as of the date stated above (“Effective Date”) by Aina Le’a, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”).
Bridge Aina Le’a, LLC, a Hawaii limited liability company, with an address of 2500 Kalakaua, #2404, Honolulu, HI 96815 (“Lender”), is making a purchase-money loan to Borrower in the principal amount stated above (“Loan”) pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement for Residential Property at Aina Le’a between Borrower and Lender dated _______________, 2015 (“PSA”). The Loan and this Note are secured by a Purchase-Money Mortgage, Security Agreement, and Financing Statement dated as of the Effective Date (“Mortgage”) covering Borrower’s interest in the real property located on the Island of Hawaii, State of Hawaii, designated as Tax Map Key No. (3) 6-8-001-038, Lot No. B-1-A, consisting of approximately 628.316 acres, and Tax Map Key No. (3) 6-8-001-039, Lot No. D-1-A consisting of approximately 383.033 acres and described more particularly in the Mortgage. This Note, the PSA, the Mortgage, the Ancillary Agreements (as that term is defined in the PSA), and any other related documents which evidence, secure, or otherwise pertain to the Loan are the “Loan Documents.”
Borrower is making this Note to evidence and secure repayment of the Loan.
Therefore, Borrower agrees as follows:
1. Principal. Borrower promises to pay to the order of Lender the Total Amount Owed. “Total Amount Owed” means the principal sum stated above, Service Fees, Payoff-Statement Fees, Late Charges, Advances, and any other fees, costs, expenses, and charges due under the Loan Documents together with interest accruing at the Interest Rate (or Default Rate, if applicable) on all of the foregoing. All amounts owed under the Loan Documents will be added to the principal balance due under this Note on the date the same become due.
2. Payments.
(a) Monthly Payments. Borrower will make monthly interest payments in arrears, commencing on the first day of the calendar month following the Effective Date (the first payment prorated if applicable) and then on the first day of each calendar month as long as any amount remains outstanding under any of the Loan Documents. In addition to applicable Late Charges and other fees or remedies available to Lender under the Loan Documents, if Borrower fails to timely make any monthly interest payment, the then-outstanding amount of that payment will be added to the Total Amount Due on the date that is 30 days after the due date for that monthly interest payment so that interest is compounded.
(b) Balloon Payment. Borrower will pay the Total Amount Owed on the date that is three years after the Effective Date (“Maturity Date”). If the Maturity Date falls on a day other than a business day, Borrower will pay the Total Amount Owed on the next business day, in
355805
Page 1
which case that extension of time will be included in computing the interest due on the Total Amount Owed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Maturity Date is subject to acceleration as otherwise provided in this Note.
(c) Holder’s Option to Extend Maturity Date. Holder, in Holder’s sole and absolute discretion, may extend the Maturity Date. Borrower does not have an option to extend the Maturity Date.
(d) Application of Payments. All payments made by Borrower to Holder under this Note will be first credited against costs of collection (if any), then against interest then accrued, and then against principal.
(e) Prepayment. Borrower may prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time without a prepayment penalty. Borrower’s making a prepayment will not affect Borrower’s obligation to pay any further monthly interest payment (except that any prepayment of principal will reduce the amount of future monthly interest payments accordingly), Service Fee, Payoff-Statement Fee, Late Charge, or any other fee, cost, expense, charge, or payment obligations under the Loan Documents (collectively, “All Fees”). All Fees will continue despite any prepayment by Borrower, and will be due and payable on the Maturity Date or the date that Borrower pays substantially all of the principal (if that date is earlier than the Maturity Date). This Section will survive such prepayment, the Maturity Date, and any termination of this Note for any reason whatsoever. This Section does not supersede or affect Holder’s right to apply payments to categories of amounts owed in the order otherwise provided in this Note.
(f) Place of Payment and Currency. Borrower will make all payments under this Note (1) at Holder’s address stated above or such place as Holder may designate from time to time, and (2) in lawful money of the United States of America.
3. Interest Rate. Subject to the imposition of the Default Rate, the Total Amount Owed will bear interest at the rate of 12.0% per year (“Interest Rate”). Interest will be computed on the basis of 365 days per year and will accrue from the date any amount owed is charged or incurred.
4. Service Fee. Commencing on the Effective Date and thereafter on the first day of each calendar month until all amounts owed under the Loan Documents are repaid in full, Borrower will also pay to Lender a monthly loan-servicing fee of $1,000.00 (“Service Fee”). Borrower acknowledges that the Service Fee is a bona fide fee and is intended as reasonable compensation to Lender for servicing the Loan and for no other purpose. The Service Fee will be deemed fully earned on the first day of each month after the Effective Date.
5. Loan Payoff-Statement Fee. Borrower will pay to Lender a $2,000.00 fee (“Payoff-Statement Fee”) each time a Borrower requests that Lender generate a Loan payoff statement.
6. Late Charges. Borrower will, if any payment required under this Note is not paid when due, without any notice from Holder, pay Holder late charges in the amount of 10.0% of
355805
Page 2
such delinquent payment (“Late Charges”), in addition to any other remedies to which Holder is entitled.
7. Taxes, Deductions, Etc. All payments of the Total Amount Owed will be made without deduction for any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, or withholdings, all of which Borrower will pay. Borrower will pay all amounts necessary to make the gross amount of the Total Amount Owed received by Holder not less than that required under this Note. Borrower will pay all stamp and documentary taxes. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, Holder pays any portion of such taxes, Borrower will reimburse Holder upon demand for the amount paid.
8. Default Rate. If a Material Default occurs, the Total Amount Owed will bear interest at 24.0% per annum (“Default Rate”) from the date of the Material Default until the earlier of (a) the cure of the Material Default, or (b) the full payment of the Total Amount Owed. This provision is separate and will survive the merger of this provision into any judgment, so that the Total Amount Owed will continue to bear interest at the Default Rate after entry of such a judgment. A “Material Default” occurs when Borrower defaults on any obligation under this Note or a Material Default (as that term is defined in any Loan Document or any document mentioned in a Loan Document) occurs, and Borrower does not cure the default within the applicable time period (if any). For example, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it would be a Material Default for Borrower to fail to make a payment when due under any Loan Document and not pay the amount owed within the applicable cure period (if any).
9. Reasonableness of Late Charges and Default Rate. Borrower acknowledges that nonpayment of any payment when due (including nonpayment at maturity, even if resulting from acceleration due to a Material Default) will result in damages to Holder from additional expenses incurred in servicing the Total Amount Owed, loss to Holder of the use of the money due, and frustration to Holder in meeting its other commitments. Borrower also acknowledges that the occurrence of any other Material Default will also result in damages to Holder by reason of the detriment caused thereby. Borrower further acknowledges that it is and will be difficult and impracticable to ascertain the extent of such damages caused by nonpayment of any sums when due or resulting from any other Material Default. Borrower agrees that a reasonable estimate of such damages must be based in part upon the duration of the default and that the Late Charges and Default Rate would not unreasonably compensate Holder for such damages.
10. Usury and Interest-Rate Limitation. Borrower represents that the Loan is for commercial use and not for personal, family, or household purposes. Borrower and Holder intend for this Note to bear a lawful rate of interest. If at any time the rate of interest applicable to this Note, together with all fees, costs, expenses, charges, and other amounts which are treated as interest on this Note under applicable law (collectively, “Charges”) exceed the maximum lawful rate (“Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received, or reserved by Holder in accordance with applicable law, then the rate of interest payable in respect of this Note, together with all Charges payable in respect hereof, will be limited to the Maximum Rate, so that in no event will any exaction be possible under this Note that is in excess of the Maximum Rate.

11. No Forbearance. Borrower does not have a right, express or implied, to not make timely payments required by the Loan Documents, whether upon payment of Late Charges or otherwise. Nothing in this Note is an express or implied agreement by Holder to forbear in exercising any of its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents. Holder’s right to receive and receipt of payments for Late Charges do not prejudice Holder’s rights: (a) to collect delinquent payments and any other amounts provided in any Loan Document, (b) with respect security for any Loan Document, or (c) to declare a Material Default under any Loan Document.
12. Advances. Holder may, in its sole and absolute discretion, advance additional funds (“Advances”) to protect Holder’s interest in the Loan and in any property that is security for this Note, including, without limitation, to cure any defaults by Borrower or to make payments on, assume, or purchase any senior loan that is in default, if applicable. All Advances will be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Note and will be subject to the terms and conditions of this Note, including but not limited to the accrual of interest at the Interest Rate commencing on the date such Advances are made by Holder.
13. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of a Material Default, the entire balance of the Total Amount Owed will, at the option of Holder, without demand or notice, immediately become due and payable. Regardless of whether Holder exercises such option, Holder may exercise any and all remedies available to it under the Loan Documents, at law, or in equity. No delay or omission by Holder in exercising any right under the Loan Documents will be a waiver of such right. The acceptance by Holder of any payment which is less than payment in full of all amounts due and payable at the time of such payment will not be a waiver of any of Holder’s rights, or nullify any prior exercise of any such rights. Holder’s remedies in the Loan Documents, at law, or in equity are cumulative and concurrent. Holder may pursue its remedies from time to time singly, successively, or together in Holder’s sole discretion. Holder’s not exercising any right or remedy will not be a waiver or release of such right or remedy.
14. Waivers by Borrower. Borrower, for itself and all endorsers, guarantors, and sureties of this Note, if any, and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns (collectively, “Obligors”):
(a) waives presentment for payment, demand, notice of nonpayment, notice of dishonor, protest of any dishonor, notice of protest, protest of this Note, notice of transfer or assignment by a Holder to another Holder, and all other notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, or enforcement of the payment of this Note;
(b) agrees that their respective liability will be unconditional and without regard to the liability of any other party and will not be in any manner affected by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver, or modification granted or consented to by Holder;
(c) consents to every extension of time, renewal, waiver, or modification granted by Holder, and to the release of any makers, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties, and of any collateral given to secure the payments required by this Note, with or without substitution; and
355805
Page 4
(d) agrees that additional makers, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties may become parties to this Note without notice to Borrower or to any endorser, guarantor, or surety and without affecting the liability of any of them.
15. Fees for Enforcement. If a dispute arises regarding the enforcement, validity, or interpretation of this Note, Borrower will pay all fees, costs, charges, and expenses (including attorney fees) reasonably incurred by Holder (collectively, “Enforcement Fees”), whether or not any action or proceeding is brought relative to such matters and whether or not such action or proceeding is prosecuted to judgment, unless ordered otherwise by a court having jurisdiction over the matter. Enforcement Fees will be treated as Advances. This provision is separate and will survive merger into any judgment.
16. Severability. Every provision of this Note is intended to be severable. If any term or provision is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or invalid for any reason whatsoever, such illegality or invalidity will not affect the other terms and provisions of this Note, which terms and provisions will remain binding and enforceable.
17. No Subordination. This Note will not be subordinate to the claims of any of Borrower’s other creditors. If Borrower becomes insolvent or goes through a composition of indebtedness, bankruptcy, liquidation, or dissolution, Holder will share pro rata with Borrower’s other creditors in the distribution of any funds or other assets of Borrower, and will otherwise be fully entitled to the rights of a creditor.
18. Miscellaneous.
(a) Waiver of Jury Trial. BORROWER KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT WHICH BORROWER MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING, LITIGATION, OR COUNTERCLAIM BASED ON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY LAWSUIT IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, BORROWER WILL NOT PRESENT AS A NON-COMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM IN ANY SUCH LAWSUIT ANY CLAIM BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE. FURTHERMORE, BORROWER WILL NOT SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.
(b) Definitions. The bolding, capitalizing of initial letters, and enclosing of a word or phrase in quotation marks in this Note means that such word or phrase is defined by the preceding text, as suggested by the context (“Defined Terms”). Unless otherwise stated or logically required by the context, each other use of such Defined Term with capitalized initial letters but without bolding and quotation marks incorporates the corresponding definition. An uncapitalized word or phrase is not a Defined Term and retains its common meaning, notwithstanding that such word or phrase may contain the same text as a Defined Term.
(c) Notice. Unless otherwise stated in this Note, notices must be in writing
355805

and may be personally delivered; delivered by a reputable overnight courier; sent by telefax or email; or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the person entitled to receive the notice at the last physical address, fax number, or email address provided in writing by that person.

The terms of this Note will control over any inconsistencies in the other Loan Documents.
(e) Amendment. This Note may not be amended or modified except by a written instrument executed by all of the Parties. If the Note is amended, it will continue to be secured by the Mortgage.

Upon such a transfer, the transferor Holder will be relieved and fully discharged from any liability under the Loan Documents with respect to the liabilities and collateral transferred, but retain all rights with respect to any liabilities and the collateral not so transferred.
(h) Governing Law. This Note will be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Hawaii. Any legal proceeding brought pursuant to the Loan Documents will be brought in Honolulu, State of Hawaii.

There is no term or provision of any Mortgagor Agreement which materially adversely affects, or in the future (as far as Mortgagor can now foresee) will materially adversely affect, the business, prospects, or condition (financial or other) of Mortgagor or of any of Mortgagor’s properties or assets.
397891

5. Waste, Unlawful Use, Attachment, Modifications. Mortgagor will not commit or permit any strip, waste, use of the Mortgaged Properties, or any act or negligence, which could cause the Mortgaged Properties (or any interest in the Mortgaged Properties) to be seized or attached by process of law, or which could impair the lien and security interest created by this Mortgage. Mortgagor will not, without Mortgagee’s prior written consent, join in or consent to any change in any private restrictive covenant, land-use classification, zoning ordinance, or other public or private restrictions limiting or defining the use which may be made of any part of the Mortgaged Properties, or consolidate the Land with any adjacent or other lands for building purposes. Any such action by Mortgagor will be void without the prior written consent of Mortgagee.

Within 30 days after the final date that any Property Charge may be paid without penalty, Mortgagor will furnish Mortgagee with such evidence as Mortgagee may reasonably require that such Property Charge was paid in full.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagor will not be required to pay any specific Property Charge if and while:
397891
Page 5
(1) Mortgagor contests the amount, applicability, or validity of such Property Charge in good faith;
(2) Mortgagor sets aside reserves that are segregated according to sound accounting principles and that Mortgagee deems adequate to provide for the possibility that Mortgagor’s contest of such Property Charge is unsuccessful;
(3) Mortgagor’s not paying the Property Charge while contesting it will not subject any part of the Mortgaged Properties to forfeiture or loss (or reasonable probability thereof), or otherwise impair the security given by this Mortgage; and
(4) Mortgagor promptly notifies Mortgagee of such contest by Mortgagor.
(c) If Mortgagor defaults in the payment of any Property Charge which is not contested by Mortgagor in accordance with the foregoing, Mortgagee may, without notice or demand to Mortgagor, pay such Property Charge. Any such payment by Mortgagee will be considered an advance to Mortgagor, added to the Debt, secured by this Mortgage, and payable on demand with interest at the Default Rate.
7. Compliance with Laws and Covenants, Governmental Approvals; Copies of Documents.
(a) Mortgagor will comply with: all federal, state, and local laws, rules, and regulations that apply to the Mortgaged Properties; all requirements of any regulatory body regarding the Mortgaged Properties; and all covenants contained in any encumbrance which is senior to the lien of this Mortgage. Mortgagor will indemnify, protect, hold harmless, and defend Mortgagee from and against all liabilities, claims, actions, and reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted at any time against Mortgagee relating to the Mortgaged Properties. Until this Mortgage is released by Mortgagee, Mortgagor will maintain in full force and effect all governmental and municipal approvals and permits which may, from time to time, be necessary to comply with environmental, ecological, land-use, or other governmental requirements relating to the Mortgaged Properties and the occupancy, use, and enjoyment thereof.

9. Removal of Property. Mortgagor will not remove, demolish, or alter any building or other property now or in the future covered by this Mortgage in any manner without Mortgagee’s prior written consent. But Mortgagor may, without Mortgagee’s consent and free from the lien of this Mortgage, remove personal property that is worn out or obsolete if (a) Mortgagor promptly pays any net cash proceeds received from such disposition to Mortgagee as payment on the Debt, or (b) such property is simultaneously replaced with other property of equal or greater value that is free from any chattel mortgage, encumbrance, or reservation of title. Property which replaces such removed property will be subject to this Mortgage.
10. Inspection Rights. Mortgagee will permit Mortgagee and any Persons authorized by Mortgagee to enter the Premises and inspect the Mortgaged Properties at all reasonable times, subject to the rights of any lessees under tenant leases.
11. Insurance. Until Mortgagee releases this Mortgage, Mortgagor will procure and maintain insurance covering the Mortgaged Properties as reasonably required by Mortgagee and as specifically required by this Section
397891
Page 6
(“Insurance Policies”). Mortgagee will not be responsible for adjusting any claim or collecting any proceeds of any Insurance Policy. Mortgagor must obtain insurance that complies with this Section even if Mortgagor may only do so by obtaining a standard mortgagee clause containing other provisions which are not required by this Mortgage. All Insurance Policies must be issued by insurance companies authorized to do business in the State of Hawaii. If insurance proceeds for damage or destruction to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Properties are paid by the insurer to a Person other than Mortgagor or Mortgagee, Mortgagor will promptly notify Mortgagee in writing of the name and address of that Person and the amount so deposited.
(a) Types of Insurance Policies. Mortgagor will obtain Insurance Policies for the following:
(1) Hazard insurance insuring against destruction or damage by fire, wind, hurricane, and other perils covered by an ISO Commercial Property Special Causes of Loss form or its equivalent for not less than the full replacement cost (i.e., actual cost to replace) of all insurable properties, with agreed value endorsement;
(2) Flood insurance, if the Land is in an area which is considered a flood risk area by the Federal Emergency Management Agency;
(3) Commercial general liability insurance that: (A) is in an amount reasonably required by Mortgagee from time to time; (B) contains a commercial broad-form endorsement and excess or umbrella liability in an amount reasonably required by Mortgagee from time to time; (C) insures against claims for bodily or personal injury, death, or property damage suffered by others occurring on, in, or about any of the Mortgaged Properties, adjoining streets, or passageways thereof; and (D) names Mortgagee as additional insured;
(4) Rental (business interruption) insurance in such amounts as may be reasonably required by Mortgagee (if and when any portion of the Mortgaged Properties is leased);
(5) Boiler and machinery insurance;
(6) Such other insurance covering all insurable portions of the Mortgaged Properties, and all insurable activities of Mortgagor in connection with the Mortgaged Properties, against all other risks usually insured against by Persons owning and operating like properties in the locality where the Mortgaged Properties are located; and
(7) Such other forms of insurance as reasonably are required from time to time by Mortgagee or by governmental authority or regulation.
(b) Provisions of Insurance Policies. The Insurance Policies will:
(1) contain a standard Mortgagee clause (without contribution) in favor of Mortgagee, a standard lender’s loss-payable endorsement in favor of Mortgagee, and provide that losses will be adjusted with the insurer by Mortgagor, but with settlements subject to the approval of Mortgagee;
(2) provide that Mortgagee’s interest in the insurance will not be invalidated by any: (A) act or neglect of any Person owning or leasing the property insured, (B) foreclosure, other proceeding, or notice of sale, (C) change in the title or ownership of the insured properties, or (D) occupation of any insured structures for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the Insurance Policy; and
(3) provide that they constitute primary insurance and will not be canceled or materially changed without at least 30 days prior written notice to Mortgagee.
(c) Evidence of Insurance Policies. Upon the execution of this Mortgage and thereafter not less than 30 days before the expiration of each Insurance Policy, Mortgagor will provide to Mortgagee an original
397891
Page 7
copy of each Insurance Policy. If Mortgagor obtains the Insurance Policies through a blanket policy, Mortgagor will provide Mortgagee with any other evidence of the underlying policy that Mortgagee may reasonably require.
(d) Mortgagee’s Notice to Mortgagor. Mortgagor will promptly forward to Mortgagee copies of any notice from, information provided by, or communication with any insurer of any Insurance Policy. Mortgagor will promptly notify Mortgagee in writing of any action or inaction by Mortgagor (including but not limited to a failure to timely and fully make any payment required by an Insurance Policy) which may affect the continuance or validity of any Insurance Policy.
(e) Default of Insurance Obligations. If Mortgagor does not comply with the insurance obligations imposed by this Mortgage, Mortgagee may from time to time effect and pay for the Insurance Policies. Any such payment by Mortgagee will be considered an advance to Mortgagor, added to the Debt, secured by a lien on the Mortgaged Properties, and payable on demand with interest at the Default Rate.
(f) Transfer of Insurance Policies. If an Enforcement Sale or other title transfer of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Properties occurs, all right, title, and interest of Mortgagor in any Insurance Policies then in force will pass to the transferee to the extent the property transferred is covered by such Insurance Policy.
12. Condemnation.
(a) If any part of the Mortgaged Properties is taken by eminent domain, Mortgagor will pay the award for such taking and for damage to the remainder of the Mortgaged Properties (collectively, “Condemnation Payment”) to Mortgagee within five days of Mortgagor’s receiving the Condemnation Payment, but only to the extent of any: (1) existing Debt, and (2) costs, fees (including attorneys’ fees), and other disbursements incurred by Mortgagee related to collection of the Condemnation Payment. If a Condemnation Award is paid by the condemning authority to any Person other than Mortgagor, Mortgagor will promptly notify Mortgagee in writing of the name and address of that Person and the amount of such Condemnation Payment.
(b) Unless an eminent-domain taking is for governmental occupancy for a limited or specified period, Mortgagee will release from this Mortgage such properties taken after Mortgagee receives the Condemnation Payment from Mortgagor, but only if such release will not impair Mortgagee’s ability to claim any additional compensation owed in such proceeding or to receive full payment of the Debt.
(c) If an Enforcement Sale occurs before Mortgagee receives the Condemnation Payment (whether in a lump sum or installments), Mortgagee will still be entitled to receive the Condemnation Payment after such sale to the extent of any: (1) existing Debt, and (2) costs, fees (including attorneys’ fees), and other disbursements incurred by Mortgagee related to collection of the Condemnation Payment.
13. Application of Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds.
(a) “Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds” means: (1) insurance proceeds received for damage or destruction to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Properties, and Mortgagor’s share of any Condemnation Payment, but excluding any Limited-Period Condemnation Proceeds (defined below), less (2) the cost, if any, incurred by Mortgagee with respect to such insurance proceeds and Condemnation Payment.
(b) Mortgagee may, in its sole discretion, use Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds for repayment of the Debt or for the restoration or repair of any Improvements damaged or taken. If Mortgagee uses Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds to restore or repair Improvements:
(1) Mortgagee may require such work be performed in a manner and subject to conditions that Mortgagee determines will ensure the lien‑free restoration or repair of such Improvements (such as
397891
Page 8
requiring the funds be deposited with a third-party escrow for disbursement as construction progresses, and requiring Mortgagor to bear the cost of such escrow); and
(2) after full payment is made for the completed work, or if Mortgagor does not promptly commence or continue such work, any amount from the Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds in the hands of Mortgagee will be applied to the Debt.
14. Application of Limited-Period Condemnation Proceeds.
(a) Any award for any part of the Mortgaged Properties taken by eminent domain for governmental occupancy for a limited or specified period (“Limited-Period Condemnation Proceeds”) will be applied and disbursed as follows:
(1) If the condemning authority pays the Limited-Period Condemnation Proceeds in a lump sum, the portion of the lump sum that equals the principal, interest, or other sums that accrue under the Loan Documents (“Limited-Period Accruals”) during such governmental occupancy will be applied to the Debt, and any remaining balance will be paid to Mortgagor; or
(2) If the condemning authority pays the Limited-Period Condemnation Proceeds in installments, each installment will be applied first to the payment of Limited-Period Accruals accruing during the period covered by such award installment, and any remaining balance of such award installment will be paid to Mortgagor.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagee may use or apply any part of Limited-Period Condemnation Proceeds to cure any default under the Loan Documents.
15. Books of Record and Account.
(a) Mortgagor will keep and maintain accurate, separate, and proper books of record and account concerning the financial status and operations of the Mortgaged Properties (“Books of Account”) in accordance with sound accounting practice. Mortgagee will have the right from time to time to: examine the Books of Account; discuss the affairs, finances, and accounts of Mortgagor; and to be informed of the same by Mortgagor’s lessees, employees, and agents. Mortgagee may make excerpts and copies of the Books of Account. Mortgagor will retain Books of Account for at least three years following the year to which they apply.
(b) Within 90 days after the end of each of Mortgagor’s fiscal years, Mortgagor will furnish to Mortgagee a balance sheet, rent roll (if applicable), and statement of income and expense regarding the Mortgaged Properties (“Financial Statements”). The Financial Statements will contain detailed supporting schedules, be in such detail as Mortgagee reasonably requests, and state in comparative form the figures for the corresponding date and period in the previous calendar year. The Financial Statements will be audited and prepared by independent certified public accountants approved by Mortgagee. Mortgagor will cause such accountants to provide Mortgagee with (1) their unqualified opinion that the reports were prepared in accordance with generally-accepted accounting principles, and (2) a written statement that they did not discover any default of this Mortgage in making the examination necessary for their certification of the Financial Statements, or, if applicable, explaining any default of this Mortgage they discovered in making such examination. This Section is not intended to make such accountants liable directly or indirectly for failing to discover a default of this Mortgage.
(c) Mortgagor will also furnish any other financial information Mortgagee reasonably requires.

16. New Taxes.
(a) If after the date of this Mortgage, any law is adopted or amended relating to taxes on mortgages or debts (other than a law imposing a tax on or measured by net income) that directly or indirectly requires Mortgagee to pay any tax other than the kind imposed on the Effective Date (“New Tax”), Mortgagee may notify Mortgagor at any time after the imposition of the New Tax that the Debt will become due and payable within six months of such notice unless Mortgagor agrees in a writing acceptable to Mortgagee (in Mortgagee’s sole discretion) within such six-month period to pay the New Tax (“New Tax Agreement”).
(b) If Mortgagor does not enter into a New Tax Agreement, Mortgagor must pay the Debt in full and discharge all other obligations under the Loan Documents within six months after receiving Mortgagee’s notice.
(c) If Mortgagor enters into a New Tax Agreement, the New Tax Agreement will become a part, covenant, and obligation of this Mortgage for all purposes. But if at any time the New Tax Agreement becomes prohibited by law or the payment of the New Tax by Mortgagor would be usurious, then the New Tax Agreement will automatically terminate and Mortgagor will pay the Debt in full within six months of receiving notice from Mortgagee instructing Mortgagor do so.
17. Right of the Mortgagee to Defend Action Affecting Security. Mortgagee may appear, defend, and become a party (through intervention or otherwise) in any action or proceeding at law or in equity purporting to affect the security provided by this Mortgage. Mortgagor will pay Mortgagee on demand all costs, charges, and expenses (including costs for evidence of title and attorneys’ fees) incurred by Mortgagee in doing so. All such costs, charges, and expenses, together with interest, will be added to and secured by the lien of this Mortgage.
18. Documentary Stamps. If, at any time, the United States of America or the State of Hawaii requires documentary stamps to be affixed to this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, Mortgagor will pay for the same along with any related interest or penalties imposed.
19. Impound Account.
(a) If requested by Mortgagee, Mortgagor will pay to Mortgagee monthly in advance, in addition to any other payments required by the Loan Documents, a sum equal to the real-property taxes, real-property assessments, and premiums for the Insurance Policies (collectively, “Real-Property/Insurance Charges”) that will next become due and payable on the Mortgaged Properties (all as reasonably estimated by Mortgagee), less all such sums already paid, divided by the number of months to elapse before the date when such Real-Property/Insurance Charges will become due and payable (“Impound Payments”).
(b) Mortgagee will hold the Impound Payments and may (1) commingle the Impound Payments with deposits of others; (2) invest the Impound Payments for Mortgagee’s sole benefit, without paying interest to Mortgagor; and (3) from time to time use the Impound Payments to pay the Real-Property/Insurance Charges as and when the same become due and payable.
(c) If the total of the Impound Payments exceed the amount necessary to pay the Real-Property/Insurance Charges, Mortgagee may (in its sole discretion) release the excess to Mortgagor or apply it to the Debt. If the total of the Impound Payments is insufficient to pay the Real-Property/Insurance Charges when they become due and payable, then Mortgagor will pay to Mortgagee any amount necessary to make up the deficiency by the date when such payments become due.
(d) Nothing in this Section affects Mortgagor’s sole obligation to procure and maintain the Insurance Policies or notify Mortgagee of the due dates for the Real-Property/Insurance Charges. This Section does not make Mortgagee an agent of Mortgagor for any purpose. Mortgagee will not be liable to Mortgagor or to any
397891
Page 10
other Person for Mortgagee’s not procuring or maintaining any Insurance Policy or paying any Real-Property/Insurance Charge, through neglect or otherwise.
(e) If Mortgagor pays the Debt in full, Mortgagee will, in computing the amount of indebtedness, credit to Mortgagor any remaining balance of the Impound Payments. If a Material Default occurs and the Mortgaged Properties are sold in accordance with this Mortgage, or if Mortgagee acquires the Mortgaged Properties otherwise after a Material Default, Mortgagee may apply any remaining balance of the Impound Payments as a credit against the Debt.
20. Acknowledgment of Debt. Within five days after request by Mortgagee, Mortgagor will furnish to Mortgagee or to any proposed assignee of this Mortgage a written statement, duly acknowledged, of the total indebtedness secured by the Existing Mortgages and this Mortgage and whether any offsets or defenses exist against such indebtedness.
21. Right of Mortgagee to Prevent or Remedy Default. If Mortgagor fails to perform any of the terms, covenants, or conditions required by this Mortgage, Mortgagee may take any action Mortgagee deems necessary or desirable to prevent or cure any such failure of performance by Mortgagor or to otherwise protect the security of this Mortgage. Any costs Mortgagee incurs in doing so will be added to the amount owed by Mortgagee under the Loan Documents.
22. Right of Mortgagee to Extend Time of Payment, Substitute, Release Security, Etc. Without affecting the liability of any Person (including Mortgagor) for the payment of the Debt or the lien and security interest of this Mortgage on the Mortgaged Properties, as security for the full amount of the Debt, Mortgagee may from time to time, without notice and without affecting or impairing any of its rights under this Mortgage:
(a) release any Person liable for the payment of any portion of the Debt;
(b) extend the time or grant other forbearances with respect to the terms of payment of all or any portion of the Debt;
(c) accept additional security of any kind, including mortgages, for the payment of the Debt;
(d) substitute or release any property securing the Debt;
(e) resort for the payment of the Debt to any of the Mortgaged Properties or any other security therefor in such order and manner as Mortgagee may see fit;
(f) join in granting any easement or creating any restriction on the Mortgaged Properties; or
(g) join in any subordination or other agreement affecting this Mortgage or the lien and security interest created by this Mortgage.
23. Right of Set‑Off. Upon the happening of any event entitling Mortgagee to foreclose this Mortgage, or if Mortgagee is served with garnishee process in which Mortgagor is named as defendant, Mortgagee may set off any indebtedness owed by Mortgagee to Mortgagor against the Debt without first resorting to the Mortgaged Properties or prejudice to any other rights or remedies of Mortgagee or the lien on the Mortgaged Properties.
24. Indemnity Against Costs and Expenses. Mortgagor will indemnify and hold harmless Mortgagee from and against all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, which may be incurred by Mortgagee in connection with any litigation, arbitration, or other adversarial proceeding directly or indirectly related to the Mortgaged Properties, the Loan Documents, any information or materials obtained by Mortgagee in connection with the Loan, and to which Mortgagee is made a party (through no fault of its own) or is required to appear as witness or for
397891
Page 11
deposition or other testimony or is required to provide documents, or other information, answer interrogatories or the like. This indemnity obligation will survive the repayment of the amounts owed under the Loan Documents and release of this Mortgage.
25. Right of Mortgagee to Collect Awards and Rents, Etc. Mortgagor irrevocably appoints Mortgagee the attorney‑in‑fact of Mortgagor, with full power of substitution to demand, settle for, collect (by suit or otherwise), receive, and give valid and sufficient receipts for (a) all awards, damages, payment, or other compensation referred to in the granting clause of this Mortgage, and (b) all tolls, rents, royalties, profits, revenues, income, and other benefits in the granting clause of this Mortgage. Mortgagee will not be liable for any loss which may arise for uncollectible receivables as long as Mortgagee acts with ordinary prudence. The monies Mortgagee receives will be applied toward the Debt. Mortgagee temporarily waives its right to exercise the powers conferred in this Section until Mortgagee notifies Mortgagor that Mortgagee has decided the waiver will no longer be effective. Mortgagee’s forbearance to exercise the powers conferred in this Section will not prejudice its right at any time and from time to time to exercise such powers after giving such notice to Mortgagor. No act referred to in this Section will cure or waive any default or notice of default under this Mortgage, or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice, or any cause of action to foreclose this Mortgage.
26. Compliance with Tenant Leases. Mortgagor will perform all obligations imposed upon it as lessor under all existing and future tenant leases affecting any part of the Mortgaged Properties.
27. Further Encumbrances.
(a) Mortgagor acknowledges that Mortgagee has relied on the Mortgaged Properties not being subject to additional liens or encumbrances other than those set forth in Exhibit A and the Permitted New Easements for reasons which include, but are not limited to, the possibility of competing claims or the promotion of plans disadvantageous to Mortgagee in bankruptcy; the risks to Mortgagee in a junior lienholder’s bankruptcy; questions which involve the priority of future advances, the priority of future leases of the Mortgaged Properties, and Mortgagee’s rights to determine the application of condemnation awards and insurance proceeds; the impairment of Mortgagee’s option to accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure; the increased difficulty of reaching agreements for loan workouts or to the actions to be taken by trustees, receivers, liquidator, and fiduciaries; Mortgagee’s requirements of Mortgagor’s preservation of its equity in the Mortgaged Properties; and the absence of debt which could increase the likelihood of Mortgagor’s inability to perform its obligations when due. Therefore, as a principal inducement to Mortgagee to make the Loan and with the knowledge that Mortgagee will materially rely upon this Section in so doing, Mortgagor covenants (except with respect to Permitted New Easements) not to further encumber the Mortgaged Properties without first receiving Mortgagee’s express written consent in each instance, which consent Mortgagee may withhold in its sole discretion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no mortgages, deeds of trust, or other forms of security interests prior or subordinate to the security interests of Mortgagee other than as set forth on Exhibit A will encumber any portion of the Mortgaged Properties. Sale lease‑backs, transfers by leases with purchase options, and conveyances by agreements of sale will each be deemed an encumbrance for the purposes of this Section.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagor may grant an additional mortgage (“Permitted Junior Mortgage”) on the Mortgaged Properties as long as:
(1) Mortgagor gives Mortgagee 20 business days’ prior written notice of proposed Permitted Junior Mortgage, which notice must include an identification of the proposed new mortgagee (“Permitted Junior Mortgagee”) and a copy of the proposed Permitted Junior Mortgage;
(2) Mortgagee either: (A) gives Mortgagee’s written consent to such proposed Permitted Junior Mortgage (which Mortgagee may not unreasonably withhold); or (B) fails to respond in writing to Mortgagor’s request within 15 business days of receiving Mortgagor’s written request with an explanation of the reason why Mortgagee is withholding its consent;
397891
Page 12
(3) the Permitted Junior Mortgage is: (A) expressly subordinate in all respects to this Mortgage; (B) solely for purposes of securing financing for construction and improvements solely on the Mortgaged Properties; and (C) in a form and contains provisions reasonably acceptable to Mortgagor;
(4) the Permitted Junior Mortgagee is a reputable commercial construction lender; and
(5) if requested by Mortgagee, the Permitted Junior Mortgagee enters into a reasonable recordable intercreditor agreement containing standard terms and protections for Mortgagee which are common for such transactions in Hawaii.
28. Material Default. “Material Default” means the occurrence of any one or more of the following:
(a) A payment required of any Person by any Loan Document is not paid when and as required.
(b) An obligation required of any Person by any Loan Document (including but not limited to the Easements/Utilities Agreement or the Ouli Wells Lease) or any Permitted New Easement is not performed (other than a failure to make a payment as and when required by any Loan Document), and is not cured within 30 days after receiving notice from Mortgagee that specifies and requests such Person to remedy the default.
(c) Mortgagor becomes insolvent; admits in writing an inability to meet its debts as they become due; fails generally to pay debts as they become due; makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; consents to the appointment of a receiver or trustee for all or a substantial part of its properties; or files a petition, answer, or other instrument (whether under federal bankruptcy law or any other law) seeking or acquiescing in the arrangement of its debts or other debt-related relief.
(d) A petition is filed against Mortgagor that is not dismissed within 30 days, seeks relief under any law (including but not limited to federal bankruptcy laws), and is for (1) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, or assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency of Mortgagor, or (2) an order directing the winding up or liquidation of Mortgagor’s affairs.
(e) Any representation or warranty contained in any Loan Document is untrue or misleading in any material respect when made and Mortgagor fails to correct the same so that it becomes true within 30 days after notice from Mortgagee.
(f) Mortgagor sells, leases, conveys, transfers, assigns, or encumbers all or any portion of the Mortgaged Properties (except for Permitted New Easements); Mortgagor or any owner of Mortgagor sells or transfers, voluntarily or by operation of law, any ownership interest in Mortgagor; or further mortgages all or any portion of the Mortgaged Properties without Mortgagee’s prior written consent, which consent may be given or withheld at Mortgagee’s sole discretion and which may be made subject to an increase in the interest rate of the Note.
(g) Mortgagor fails to perform any obligation contained in any mortgage listed as an encumbrance in Exhibit A (“Existing Mortgage”) (if any), increases the principal amount or otherwise alters the material terms of any obligation secured by an Existing Mortgage, or fails to apply the full amount of the proceeds from the sale of any of the Mortgaged Properties to the obligations secured by any Existing Mortgage.
(h) Any other event occurs which constitutes a default under or is defined as a “Material Default” in any other Loan Document.
29. Remedies. If a Material Default occurs, then any one or more of the remedies set forth in this Section will apply or be available to Mortgagee in Mortgagee’s sole discretion. Any right or remedy Mortgagee has with respect to the Mortgaged Properties under this Mortgage may be exercised with respect to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Properties.
397891
Page 13
(a) Declare Sums Immediately Due and Payable. Mortgagee may, without notice, presentment, or demand, declare the Debt to be immediately due and payable, together with any prepayment fee (if applicable).
(b) Require Mortgagor to Pay Mortgagee’s Costs. Regardless of whether Mortgagee declares any amounts owed under the Loan Documents to be immediately due and payable, or whether Mortgagee commences foreclosure or other legal proceedings for the enforcement of the Loan Documents, Mortgagee may require Mortgagor to pay all reasonable costs (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Mortgagee during the existence of any Material Default in connection with the administration of the Debt, the enforcement of the Loan Documents, the investigation and policing of the Material Default, and the negotiation, documentation, and administration of any loan “work-out” proposal (whether or not effectuated). All such costs, together with interest for default specified in the Loan Documents (“Default Rate”), will be added to and secured by the lien and security interest created by this Mortgage.
(c) Require Mortgagor to Surrender the Mortgaged Properties. Mortgagee may require Mortgagor to surrender actual possession of the Mortgaged Properties to Mortgagee and:
(1) enter and take possession of the Mortgaged Properties and the related books, papers, and accounts of Mortgagor;
(2) exclude Mortgagor, its agents, and servants from the Mortgaged Properties;
(3) hold, operate, and manage the Mortgaged Properties and from time to time make repairs and alterations, additions, advances, or improvements Mortgagee deems appropriate;
(4) in the name of Mortgagor or Mortgagee demand, sue for, collect, recover, and receive all rents, revenue, issues, income, and profits from the Mortgaged Properties (“Property Profits”) in any manner Mortgagee deems appropriate, and pay out of the Property Profits the costs Mortgagee incurs in taking, holding, and managing the Property Profits, including but not limited to (A) compensation for Mortgagee’s agents, attorneys, counsel, and accountants, and (B) taxes, assessments, and other charges prior to the lien of this Mortgage. Mortgagee may apply the remainder of the Property Profits in any order Mortgagee designates to the payment of the Debt; and
(5) enter into, renew, or terminate leases or tenancies.
(d) Treat Portions of the Mortgaged Properties as Personal Property.
(1) Mortgagee may treat as personal property any part of the Mortgaged Properties which consists of a right in action or of property that can be severed from the Premises without causing structural damage, and may exercise as to such property all of the rights, remedies, and privileges with respect to repossession, retention, sale, and disposition of proceeds given to a secured party by Article 9 of Hawaii’s Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”).
(2) With respect to the exercise of Mortgagee’s rights, remedies, and privileges under Article 9 of the UCC, Mortgagee may take any one or more of the following actions:
(A) charge Mortgagor for Mortgagee’s attorneys’ fees and the legal and other expenses for pursuing, searching for, receiving, taking, keeping, storing, advertising, and selling the Mortgaged Properties;
(B) enter the Premises peaceably by Mortgagee’s own means or with legal process and (i) take possession of all property in which Mortgagee has a security interest under Article 9 of the UCC (“Article 9 Property”), (ii) render the Article 9 Property unusable, or (iii) dispose of the Article 9 Property; and Mortgagor agrees to not resist or interfere with Mortgagee’s doing so;
397891
Page 14
(C) require Mortgagor to assemble the Article 9 Property and make it available to Mortgagee at a place to be designated by Mortgagee which is convenient to both parties; and
(D) unless the Article 9 Property is perishable, threatens to decline speedily in value, or is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market, Mortgagee will give Mortgagor notice of the time and place of any public sale of the Article 9 Property or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition of the Article 9 Property is to be made. Mortgagee must give at least five days’ notice to Mortgagor before such a sale or disposition.
(e) Conduct an Enforcement Sale.
(1) Enforcement Sales Generally. Mortgagee may cause an Enforcement Sale to occur. An “Enforcement Sale” means a sale of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Properties conducted under the power of sale given by this Mortgage, pursuant to judicial foreclosure proceedings, under Article 9 of the UCC, or otherwise for the enforcement of this Mortgage. An Enforcement Sale will be a perpetual bar both in law and in equity against Mortgagor and all Persons claiming under Mortgagor with regard to any right to the Mortgaged Properties so sold. Mortgagor irrevocably appoints Mortgagee to be Mortgagor’s true and lawful attorney in fact, in its name and stead, to effectuate any Enforcement Sale and to execute and deliver all necessary deeds, conveyances, assignments, bills of sale, and other instruments with power to substitute one or more Persons with like power. Mortgagor will ratify and confirm any Enforcement Sale, if requested by Mortgagee, by delivering all proper conveyances or other instruments to such Persons as may be designated in any such request. But the failure of Mortgagor to ratify and confirm an Enforcement Sale will not affect the validity of such Enforcement Sale or the purchaser’s title to the property purchased at such sale.
(2) Real Property Sale. Mortgagee may treat all or any portion of the Mortgaged Properties as real property and cause the same to be sold as Mortgagee determines pursuant to the power of sale or judicial foreclosure proceedings below.
(A) Power of Sale. With or without first taking possession, Mortgagee may sell the Mortgaged Properties by public auction at such place as may be required by law, by giving notice of such sale by publication and posting as provided in Chapter 667, Hawaii Revised Statutes, as amended, or such other notice as may be required by law. Mortgagee may adjourn such sale from time to time by announcing the time and place for the adjourned sale. Upon such sale Mortgagee may make and deliver to any purchaser a good and sufficient conveyance, deed, assignment, or bill of sale, and good and sufficient receipts for the purchase money, and perform all other acts necessary to carry out this power of sale.
(B) Judicial Foreclosure. Mortgagee may, either with or without first taking possession of the Mortgaged Properties, proceed by suit at law or in equity or by any other appropriate remedy to enforce payment of the obligations secured by this Mortgage, foreclose this Mortgage, and sell the Mortgaged Properties under the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither Mortgagee nor any commissioner in foreclosure will be obligated to sell upon credit unless Mortgagee expressly consents in writing to a sale upon credit.
(3) Personal Property Sale. Mortgagee may sell Article 9 Property as provided in this Mortgage.
(4) Mortgagee’s Purchase of the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagee may bid for and purchase all or any portion of the Mortgaged Properties at an Enforcement Sale, and afterwards may hold, retain, possess, or dispose of such properties in Mortgagee’s discretion.
(5) Debt Becomes Immediately Due. Upon an Enforcement Sale, all of the Debt will become immediately due and payable, unless otherwise stated in this Mortgage.
397891
Page 15
(6) Application of the Proceeds.
(A) Mortgagee may apply the proceeds of an Enforcement Sale in the following order (regardless of whether Mortgagee itself purchases any or all of the Mortgaged Properties):
(i) to the costs and expenses of such sale and all proceedings in connection with the Enforcement Sale, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and fees incurred in connection with Mortgagor’s default;
(ii) to the payment of any disbursements made by Mortgagee for taxes, assessments, or other charges prior to the lien or security interest created by this Mortgage;
(iii) to the repayment of any other disbursements made by Mortgagee under the Loan Documents;
(iv) to the Debt, including the prepayment fee (if any) to the extent permitted by law; and
(v) any remainder to Mortgagor or to others entitled to it.
(B) If the proceeds of an Enforcement Sale are insufficient to repay all of the Debt, including but not limited to all reasonable costs incurred and disbursements made by Mortgagee in taking possession, holding, and managing the Mortgaged Properties, Mortgagee may require payment of the deficiency from Mortgagor and any other Persons liable for the Debt.
(f) Have a Receiver Appointed. Upon filing a bill in equity or other commencement of judicial proceedings to enforce Mortgagee’s rights, Mortgagee will be entitled (by ex parte order or otherwise) to the appointment without bond of a receiver of the Mortgaged Properties and Property Profits pending such proceedings. This right applies without regard to the value of the Mortgaged Properties, the solvency of any Person liable for the Debt, or whether Mortgagee has an adequate remedy at law. Mortgagor waives all defenses it has or may acquire to Mortgagee’s application for the appointment of a receiver and consents to such appointment.
(g) Enforce Waiver of Certain Rights. Neither Mortgagor nor anyone claiming through or under Mortgagor will seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, or redemption law. Mortgagor, for itself and all who may claim through or under Mortgagor, fully waives the benefit of all such laws and any right to have the Mortgaged Properties marshaled upon an Enforcement Sale or other enforcement of the security interest created by this Mortgage. Mortgagee or any court-appointed receiver or commissioner may, in its sole discretion, sell the Mortgaged Properties as an entirety, irrespective of the differing nature of the Mortgaged Properties and whether or not the same constitutes real or personal property.
(h) Enforce Remedies Successively, Concurrently, and Cumulatively. Mortgagee may enforce any one or more remedies under this Mortgage, or any other remedy Mortgagee may have, successively or concurrently without impairing the lien or security interest created by this Mortgage or affecting other remedies Mortgagee may have. None of Mortgagee’s remedies in the Loan Documents are exclusive of any other remedy in the Loan Documents, and are cumulative and in addition to any other remedy or now or in the future existing at law, in equity, or by statute.
(i) Rights After Proceedings Discontinued. If Mortgagee enforces any right under this Mortgage and such proceedings are discontinued or abandoned for any reason, then Mortgagor and Mortgagee will be restored to their former positions and rights under this Mortgage with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, and all rights, remedies, and powers of Mortgagee will continue as if no such proceedings took place.
397891
Page 16
(j) Right to Enforce Payment. Nothing in the Loan Documents will affect or impair the unconditional and absolute right of a holder of the Note to enforce payment of the amounts due on the Note on or after the due date stated in the Note, or the obligation of Mortgagor, which is likewise unconditional and absolute, to pay such amounts at the respective times and places stated in the Note.
30. Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a) Waiver of Jury Trial. MORTGAGOR KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT WHICH MORTGAGOR MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING, LITIGATION, OR COUNTERCLAIM BASED ON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY LAWSUIT IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, MORTGAGOR WILL NOT PRESENT AS A NON-COMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM IN ANY SUCH LAWSUIT ANY CLAIM BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS MORTGAGE. FURTHERMORE, MORTGAGOR WILL NOT SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.
(b) No Waiver. Mortgagee’s not requiring strict performance of any provision of this Mortgage, or not exercising a right or remedy arising because of a breach, will not waive any of Mortgagee’s rights or remedies or any other covenant, duty, agreement, or condition. Any extension or waiver by Mortgagee of any provision in this Mortgage will be valid only if set forth in a writing signed Mortgagee.
(c) Security Agreement and Financing Statement. This Mortgage constitutes a security agreement and a financing statement under Article 9 of the UCC, so that Mortgagee will have and may enforce a security interest in any or all of that portion of the Mortgaged Properties which constitutes personal property, in addition to the mortgage lien upon the same as part of the realty. Mortgagor will assist in the preparation of and execute from time to time, alone or with Mortgagee, and deliver, file, and record any financing or continuation statements, mortgages or other instruments, and do such further acts as Mortgagee may request to create, maintain, and perfect the Mortgagee’s security interest in that portion of the Mortgaged Properties which constitutes personal property, including all renewals, additions, substitutions and improvements to the same and the proceeds thereof, and otherwise to protect the same against the rights and interest of third parties. The terms of this Mortgage will be deemed commercially reasonable within the meaning of the UCC.
(d) Further Instruments. If requested by Mortgagee, Mortgagor will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be necessary and proper to carry out the purposes of this Mortgage and to subject the Mortgaged Properties to the lien and security interest created by this Mortgage and any renewals, additions, substitutions, replacements, or betterments thereto. Mortgagor will pay all costs incurred (including but not limited to all costs incurred during the term of the Note) to perfect or release the lien and security interest created by this Mortgage or by any other the Loan Document.
(e) Definitions. The bolding, capitalizing of initial letters, and enclosing of a word or phrase in quotation marks in this Mortgage means that such word or phrase is defined by the preceding text, as suggested by the context (“Defined Terms”). Unless otherwise stated or logically required by the context, each other use of a Defined Term with capitalized initial letters but without bolding and quotation marks incorporates the corresponding definition. An uncapitalized word or phrase is not a Defined Term and retains its common or legal term-of-art meaning, as applicable, notwithstanding that such word or phrase may contain the same text as a Defined Term. Unless the context suggests otherwise, the term “Mortgagee” includes Mortgagee and its successors, loan participants, and assigns; the term “Mortgagor” includes Mortgagor and Mortgagor’s permitted successors, and assigns; and the term “Person” means an individual, any type of corporation, limited liability company, limited liability limited partnership, limited
397891
Page 17
liability partnership, limited partnership, general partnership, sole proprietorship, association, trust, or other entity. Unless otherwise required by the context, “Section” means a Section of this Mortgage.
(f) Pronouns and Plurals. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun used in this Mortgage includes the corresponding masculine, feminine, or neuter forms. The singular form of Defined Terms, nouns, pronouns, and verbs include the plural, and vice versa.
(g) Notices. Unless otherwise stated in this Mortgage, notices must be in writing and delivered in person or sent by facsimile, email, or certified or registered mail with postage prepaid and return receipt requested, to the Person entitled to receive the notice at the last physical address, fax number, or email address provided in writing by that Person. Notices will be deemed given on the date actually received.
(h) Governing Law. This Mortgage will be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Hawaii. If any provision of this Mortgage is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the validity and enforceability of the other provisions of this Mortgage.
(i) Section Headings. The Section headings in this Mortgage are inserted only for convenience and will in no way define, describe, or limit the scope or intent of any provisions of this Mortgage.
(j) Integration. This Mortgage constitutes the final, entire agreement among the Mortgagor and Mortgagee pertaining to the subject matter of this Mortgage and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings pertaining to this Mortgage. All exhibits and schedules (if any) referenced in this Mortgage are a part of this Mortgage.
(k) Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. Without limiting any other provision of this Mortgage, if any party institutes an arbitration, lawsuit, action, or other proceeding of any nature in connection with any controversy arising out of this Mortgage, or to interpret or enforce any rights under this Mortgage, the prevailing party may recover all expenses the prevailing party incurs in enforcing this Mortgage, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses of the arbitration, suit, action, or other proceeding. Any judgment or order entered in such action will contain a specific provision providing for the recovery of attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in enforcing such judgment and an award of prejudgment interest from the date of the breach at the maximum rate of interest allowed by law. The prevailing party will be determined by the court, arbiter, or other decision maker based on an assessment of which party’s major arguments made or positions taken in the proceedings could fairly be said to have prevailed over the other party’s major arguments or positions on major disputed issues.
(l) Counterparts. This Mortgage may be signed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but will constitute one instrument, and may be delivered personally or by facsimile, email, or certified or registered mail. Mortgagor will, however, promptly provide original physical signature pages for recording.

MUTUAL RELEASE AGREEMENT
This Mutual Release Agreement (“Agreement”) is made ________________, 2015 (“Effective Date”) by Aina Le’a, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Aina Le’a”), DW Aina Le’a Development, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“DW”), Relco Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Relco”), and Bridge Aina Le’a, LLC, a Hawaii limited liability company (“Bridge”).
Aina Le’a, DW, Relco, and Bridge (collectively, “Parties”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement effective October 1, 2008 relating to certain property Bridge owned on the Island of Hawaii, which was amended and restated by an Amended and Restated Purchase and Sale Agreement dated February 9, 2009 between Bridge, Relco, and DW, which was further amended by a First Modification and Partial Assignment of Amended and Restated Purchase and Sale Agreement dated December 11, 2009 between Bridge, Relco, DW, and Aina Le’a, which was supplemented by a Supplemental Agreement Regarding First Modification and Partial Assignment of Amended and Restated Purchase and Sale Agreement dated December 11, 2009 between Bridge, Relco, DW, and Aina Le’a (collectively, “Previous PSA”).
At the time Aina Le’a entered into the foregoing agreements, Aina Le’a was a Nevada limited liability company named “Aina Le’a, LLC.” Aina Le’a subsequently converted into a Delaware corporation named “Aina Le’a, Inc,” but remains the same entity.
Bridge contends that the Previous PSA was terminated, which Aina Le’a, DW, and Relco dispute.
Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Bridge and Aina Le’a are entering into a separate Purchase and Sale Agreement for Residential Property at Aina Le’a (“New PSA”) for Aina Le’a’s purchase from Bridge of certain property on the Island of Hawaii designated as Tax Map Key No. (3) 6-8-001-038, Lot No. B-1-A, consisting of approximately 628.316 acres, and Tax Map Key No. (3) 6-8-001-039, Lot No. D-1-A consisting of approximately 383.033 acres (collectively, “Residential Property”).
Bridge would not be willing to enter into the New PSA unless Aina Le’a, DW, and Relco entered into this Agreement. DW and Relco are affiliates of Aina Le’a and consider it to be in their best interests for Bridge to enter into the New PSA. Aina Le’a, DW, and Relco are entering into this Agreement to induce Bridge to enter into the PSA.
Therefore, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Termination of Previous PSA. The Parties agree that effective as of the date that Bridge conveys the Residential Property to Aina Le`a, the Previous PSA is terminated.
284709
2. Release of Claims. Effective as of the date that Bridge conveys the Residential Property to Aina Le‘a, each Party waives, releases, and forever discharges any and all Released Claims against the other Parties and each of their owners, members, managers, partners, joint venturers, directors, officers, agents, employees, employers, insurers, subrogees, indemnitors, successors in interest, subsidiaries, sureties, attorneys, experts, consultants, and successors and assignees. “Released Claims” means any and all defenses, allegations, claims, causes of action, complaints, counterclaims, cross-claims, third-party complaints, complaints over and against, claims for contribution or indemnity, subrogation claims, claims to recover defense costs, other complaints, past, present, or future claims, demands, obligations, actions, causes of action, claims for relief, liability or liabilities, rights, damages, losses, costs, expenses, liens, debts, interest, compensation, fees, litigation expenses, attorney fees, expert fees, consultant fees, loss of use, loss of profits, general damages, consequential damages, exemplary damages, punitive damages, damages of every kind or nature whatsoever whether based on contract, tort, warranty, strict liability, statute, common law, tenders of defense or otherwise, whether in law or equity, whether known or unknown, contingent or uncertain, latent or patent, or whether anticipated or not, resulting from, or arising out of, or related in any way to the Previous PSA or the termination of the Previous PSA. The definition of “Released Claims” does not mean, include, nor extend to any claims that may arise out of the enforcement of this Agreement, nor does it mean or include claims against third parties who are not among the persons or entities released as defined in this section.
3. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT WHICH ANY PARTY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING, LITIGATION, OR COUNTERCLAIM BASED ON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY LAWSUIT IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY WILL PRESENT AS A NON-COMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM IN ANY SUCH LAWSUIT ANY CLAIM BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.

(d) Definitions. The bolding, capitalizing of initial letters, and enclosing of a word or phrase in quotation marks in this Easement Grant means that word or phrase is defined by the surrounding text, as suggested by the context (each a “Defined Term”). Unless otherwise stated or logically required by the context, each use of a Defined Term with capitalized initial letters but without bolding and quotation marks incorporates the corresponding definition. An uncapitalized word or phrase is not a Defined Term and retains its common or legal term-of-art meaning, as applicable, notwithstanding that the word or phrase may contain the same text as a Defined Term.

This Easement Grant is the final, entire agreement among the Parties pertaining to the subject matter of this Easement Grant, and supersedes all previous agreements and understandings pertaining to this Easement Grant or its subject matter. All recitals (i.e., any background information provided after the opening paragraph of this Easement Grant), Exhibits, and Schedules (if any) referenced in this Easement Grant are a part of this Easement Grant.
(g) No Waiver. A failure by a Party to require strict performance of any provision of this Easement Grant, or to exercise any right or remedy arising because of a breach, is not a waiver of that breach or any other covenant, duty, agreement, or condition. Any extension or waiver by any Party of any provision in this Easement Grant will be valid only if set forth in writing signed by that Party.
(h) Amendment. This Easement Grant may not be amended or modified except by a written instrument executed by all of the Parties.
(i) Severability. If any provision of this Easement Grant is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality, and enforceability of that provision in every other respect and the remaining provisions of this Easement Grant will not, at the election of the Party for whose benefit the provision exists, be in any way affected or impaired.
(j) Applicable Law. This Easement Grant will be governed by the laws of the State of Hawaii without regard to the choice of law or principles of conflict of law.
(k) Jurisdiction. The Parties will bring all actions in law, equity, or otherwise arising under this Easement Grant (or related to the transactions contemplated in this Easement Grant), exclusively in the federal or state courts sitting in Honolulu, Hawaii, and in no other jurisdiction or venue. Each Party consents to the jurisdiction of such courts. Each Party further agrees that personal jurisdiction over that Party may be effected by service of process by registered or certified mail addressed to the last address that Party provided to the other Parties, and that when so made will be as if served upon that Party personally within the State of Hawaii.

Any judgment or order entered in such lawsuit will contain a specific provision providing for the recovery of attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in enforcing such judgment and an award of prejudgment interest from the date of the breach at the maximum rate of interest allowed by law.

(e) Costs of Design and Construction. Aina Le‘a will be responsible for all costs of designing, engineering, obtaining permits for, and constructing the Improvements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bridge will be responsible for the incremental costs and expenses incurred for “oversized” lines and other improvements which are necessary or desirable (as determined by Bridge in Bridge’s reasonable discretion) solely to accommodate any portions of the Agricultural Land (“Incremental Expansion Costs”). “Incremental Expansion Costs” do not include costs of designing and engineering the Improvements to accommodate the Expansions.
(f) Expansions.
(1) Design of Improvements to Accommodate Expansions. Aina Le‘a will (and will cause its designers and engineers to cooperate with Bridge’s designers and engineers to), at Aina Le‘a’s sole cost, design, engineer, and construct the Improvements to be able to accommodate expansions of the Sewer System (“Sewer Expansion”), Water System (“Water-System Expansion”), and Additional Utility Systems (“Additional-Utilities Expansion”) by Bridge for Bridge’s anticipated uses of the Agricultural Property as determined by Bridge in Bridge’s sole discretion. “Expansions” means the Sewer Expansion, Water-System Expansion, and Additional-Utilities Expansion collectively.
(2) Expansion Specifications. Bridge will in each instance advise Aina Le‘a of Bridge’s separate Sewer Expansion, Water-System Expansion, and Additional-Utilities Expansion (as applicable) specifications within 90 days after Aina Le‘a provides each of the Sewer-Design Notice, Water-System Design Notice, and Additional-Utilities Design Notice. Bridge’s failure to do so will release Aina Le‘a from their obligation to accommodate the Sewer Expansion, Water-System Expansion, or Additional-Utilities Expansion, as applicable.
(3) Construction of Expansions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Aina Le‘a will have no obligation to construct the Expansions for the Agricultural Property. Bridge may connect to, hook up to, and tap into the Utility Systems and
397880
Page 5
construct any necessary or desirable improvements to provide sewer, potable-water, and additional utility services to the Agricultural Property. Any construction performed by Bridge for the Expansions will: (A) be performed in a good and workmanlike manner; (B) be performed pursuant to plans and specifications submitted to and approved by Aina Le‘a, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; and (C) leave the Residential Property and the Affordable-Housing Property free and clear of any liens from such Bridge activities. Aina Le‘a will be deemed to have approved any such plans or specifications if Aina Le‘a does not respond within 60 days of Bridge’s written request for approval of the same from time to time. Aina Le‘a hereby grants Bridge and Bridge’s contractors and agents a right of entry onto the Residential Property to construct, repair, and maintain any portions of the Expansions located on the Residential Property. Bridge will obtain any applicable Improvement Assignee’s approval for any Expansions before constructing such Expansions.
(4) Aina Le‘a’s Obligations. Aina Le‘a’s obligations under this Section 1(f) Expansions are subject to the provisions of Section 1(j) Transfers to Utility Companies.
(g) Reconstruction of Improvements Built without Proper Notice.
(1) To the extent Aina Le‘a has already proceeded (before the Effective Date), or at any time in the future proceeds, with designing, engineering, or constructing any portions of the Improvements without providing Bridge the opportunity to notify Aina Le‘a of Bridge’s specifications for the Expansions as contemplated by this Agreement, then, within a further 90-days’ notice from Bridge in each instance, Aina Le‘a will (at Aina Le‘a’s sole cost) redesign, re-engineer, tear out, reconstruct, alter, and repair any portions of the Improvements (collectively, “Reconstruction”) necessary or desirable (as determined in Bridge’s reasonable discretion) to accommodate Bridge’s reasonable uses of the Bridge Property.
(2) If Aina Le‘a fails to perform any portion of the Reconstruction by the applicable deadlines set forth above, Bridge may (at Aina Le‘a’s sole cost), but will have no obligation to, perform any or all of the applicable Reconstruction. If Bridge performs any Reconstruction, Aina Le‘a will reimburse Bridge for any costs related to the Reconstruction (“Reconstruction Costs”) incurred by Bridge, plus applicable general excise tax, within 30 calendar days of Bridge’s notice to Aina Le‘a. If Aina Le‘a fails to pay such amount owed by the foregoing deadline, the amounts due will accrue interest at the rate of 10% per year.
(h) Maintenance and Repairs. Aina Le‘a will (at Aina Le‘a’s sole cost) own, operate, and maintain the Improvements and keep the Improvements in good repair and condition, all in compliance with applicable governmental laws, regulations, ordinances, orders, permits, and licenses. Without limiting Bridge’s other rights with respect to the Improvements, Bridge may inspect the Improvements from time to time. If Bridge discovers any problems or issues pertaining to the Improvements which require repair, maintenance, or other actions and Aina Le‘a fails to take appropriate actions within 15 days of Bridge’s written notice to Aina Le‘a regarding the same, Bridge may make such repairs, perform such maintenance, or take such other action and Aina Le‘a will reimburse Bridge for the costs of the same, plus applicable general excise tax, within 30 calendar days of Bridge’s written demand to Aina Le‘a for payment of the same. If Aina Le‘a fails to pay such amount owed by the foregoing deadline, the amount due will accrue interest at the rate
397880
Page 6
of 10% per year. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (1) Aina Le‘a will have no repair or maintenance obligations with respect to the Expansions; and (2) Aina Le‘a’s obligations under this Maintenance and Repairs Section are subject to the provisions of Section 1(j) Transfers to Utility Companies.
(i) Effluent Irrigation Water. The Parties anticipate that the Sewer System will produce effluent for reuse as landscape and golf-course irrigation water, and possible other uses (“Effluent Irrigation Water”). Effluent Irrigation Water will be allocated and distributed solely to Aina Le‘a unless and until the Sewer Expansion occurs, after which the Effluent Irrigation Water will be allocated and distributed to each Lot affected by this Agreement on a percentage basis according to the proportionate amounts of Effluent Irrigation Water produced by each Lot. Any allocation of Effluent Irrigation Water which a Lot owner does not wish to use will be allocated among the remaining Lot owners according to the proportionate amounts of Effluent Irrigation Water produced by the remaining Lots. Aina Le‘a, at Aina Le‘a’s sole cost, will be responsible for disposing or otherwise managing any Effluent Irrigation Water which other Lot owners do not wish to utilize from time to time. If and when the Sewer System is transferred to an Improvement Assignee (defined below) as permitted by this Agreement, that Improvement Assignee will determine the allocation of any Effluent Irrigation Water between the Lots.
(j) Transfers to Utility Companies.
(1) After Aina Le‘a has fully completed construction of any one or more portions of the Improvements, Aina Le‘a with Bridge’s cooperation may dedicate and convey permanent ownership (as applicable, “Improvement Transfer”) of any one or more portions of such fully-completed Improvements (as applicable, “Transferred Improvement”) to one or more regulated utility companies or governmental bodies or agencies (as applicable “Improvement Assignee”), as long as each of the following requirements are met:
(A) Aina Le‘a gives Bridge prior written notice of such proposed Improvement Transfer, the terms of the proposed Improvement Transfer, and the identity of the Improvement Assignee, and references this Section of this Agreement in such notice to Bridge (“Improvement-Transfer Notice”).
(B) Bridge either: (i) gives its prior written consent to the Improvement Transfer as described in the Improvement-Transfer Notice (which approval Bridge may not unreasonably withhold); or (ii) does not respond to the Improvement-Transfer Notice within 30 days of receiving the Improvement-Transfer Notice, or does not provide the reasons for Bridge’s withholding of such consent. Without limiting the foregoing, it will not be unreasonable for Bridge to withhold its consent if Bridge reasonably considers the proposed Improvement Assignee to not be a properly-regulated entity, or unlikely to satisfactorily perform its obligations with respect to the Transferred Improvement.
(C) Each such Improvement Assignee agrees in writing:
(i) to permit Bridge to connect to, hook up to, tap into, and otherwise use such Transferred Improvements as contemplated by this Agreement (including but not limited to as contemplated in Section 1(f)(3) Construction of Expansions and Section 2(c)
397880
Page 7
Wastewater Processing), all at no cost to Bridge (including but not limited to no contribution in aid of construction (CIAC) fees);
(ii) if necessary or appropriate under the circumstances to further memorialize Bridge’s right to connect to, hook up to, tap into, and otherwise use such Transferred Improvements, to grant such rights to Bridge with one or more recordable written instruments (whether by easement, license, assignment, or otherwise);
(iii) to maintain the insurance required of Aina Le‘a by this Agreement with respect to that Transferred Improvement, naming Bridge as additional insured, unless the Improvement Assignee is a governmental agency which is self-insured and such self-insurance provides Bridge with protection equivalent to the protection Bridge would receive if Bridge was otherwise named as an additional insured; and
(iv) to maintain, repair, and keep in good working condition such Transferred Improvements.
(2) If all the foregoing requirements for an Improvement Transfer are met, Aina Le‘a will be relieved of Aina Le‘a’s further obligations under this Agreement with respect to that Transferred Improvement which would otherwise have arisen after such Improvement Transfer (but not any obligations which arose before such Improvement Transfer).
(3) Nothing in this Section 1(j) Transfers to Utility Companies is intended to: (A) relieve Bridge for paying for ongoing charges for use of utilities after any given Improvement Transfer; or (B) require Aina Le‘a to take on any additional liability.
(k) Insurance. Aina Le‘a will procure and maintain policies of real-property and general-liability insurance covering the development, construction, operation, and maintenance of the Improvements and all roads, easements, utility lines, and other infrastructure or improvements developed, constructed, or placed on Bridge Property in amounts and with limits and deductibles as reasonably required by Bridge from time to time. Aina Le‘a will cause Bridge to be named as an additional insured on all such policies. Aina Le‘a’s obligations under this Insurance Section will be subject to the provisions of Section 1(j) Transfers to Utility Companies.
(l) Right of Entry. Bridge grants Aina Le‘a a right of entry onto the Bridge Property, at reasonable times and for reasonable durations, for the limited purpose of performing Aina Le‘a’s obligations under this Agreement which, by their nature, require entry onto Bridge’s Property to perform.
2. Utility Services.
(a) Source and Delivery of Potable Water to Bridge. Aina Le‘a represents and warrants to Bridge that Aina Le‘a has rights to receive water from Waikoloa Water Co., Inc., a Hawaii corporation (“Waikoloa Water Co.”), at the Affordable-Housing Property. Aina Le‘a will use its best efforts to obtain, by the Completion Deadline, an allocation of potable water from Waikoloa Water Co. for the Residential Property in an amount sufficient to serve the Residential Property based on the maximum number of residential units and dwellings permitted by the zoning
397880
Page 8
of the Residential Property, and for the Commercial Property sufficient to support the Commercial-Property Estimate Use. Aina Le‘a will pay for all connection fees (and any related or similar capital costs or fees) charged by Waikoloa Water Co. to deliver such water to the Residential Property and Commercial Property. Aina Le‘a will deliver, at no cost to Bridge, this potable water to the Commercial Property through the Water System, commencing no later than the Completion Deadline. Bridge will pay Waikoloa Water Co., Inc. for water delivered to the Commercial Property.
(b) Delivery of Electricity. Aina Le‘a will provide electrical conduits to the Commercial Property through the Additional Utility Systems, and will cause Hawaii Electric Light Co. to deliver electricity, commencing no later than the Completion Deadline. Bridge will pay for electricity used at the Commercial Property to the provider of the electricity.
(c) Wastewater Processing.
(1) In addition to the Expansions defined above, Aina Le‘a will permit Bridge, at Bridge’s cost, to hook into the Treatment Facility and any other wastewater- or sewage-treatment facility located on the Residential Property from time to time, and permit Bridge to use such facility(ies) to process wastewater and sewage produced on or at the Bridge Property. Bridge will pay for an appropriate and reasonable amount of the costs which are directly attributable to Bridge’s use of such facility(ies), and will pay for any expansions to such facility(ies) which Bridge determines are necessary or desirable for Bridge’s purposes.
(2) Any construction performed by Bridge to expand such facility(ies) will be performed: (A) in a good and workmanlike manner; and (B) pursuant to plans and specifications submitted to and approved by Aina Le‘a, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Aina Le‘a hereby grants Bridge and Bridge’s contractors and agents a right of entry onto the Residential Property to construct any such expansions.
3. Failure to Perform by Completion Deadlines; Remedies. If Aina Le‘a fails to complete construction of the Utility Systems by the Utilities Completion Deadline, or the Road/Intersection by the Road/Intersection Completion Deadline (Utilities Completion Deadline and Road/Intersection Completion Deadline collectively, “Completion Deadlines”), or fails to timely perform any of Aina Le‘a’s other obligations which are required to be performed by the applicable Completion Deadlines, Bridge may (but will not be obligated to, and without limiting any other remedies available to Bridge) complete the development and construction of any Improvement which has not been completed by its applicable Completion Deadline from time to time, and take any other actions necessary or desirable to perform Aina Le‘a’s obligations on Aina Le‘a’s behalf, and at Aina Le‘a’s cost (including but not limited to obtaining county approval of a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the Road/Intersection). Aina Le‘a hereby grants Bridge and Bridge’s contractors and agents a right of entry on the Residential Property for purposes of the foregoing. Aina Le‘a will, within 30 days after receiving written notice from Bridge, reimburse and pay Bridge for all costs Bridge incurs related to designing, engineering, obtaining permits for, constructing the Improvements, and any other actions Bridge takes under this Failure to Perform by Completion Deadlines; Remedies Section, plus applicable general exercise tax. Bridge may require Aina Le‘a to pay for expenses Bridge incurs as they are incurred, or monthly, or at any
397880
Page 9
other reasonable interval Bridge wishes from time to time. If Aina Le‘a fails to pay such amounts when due, the amounts due will accrue interest at the rate of 10% per year.
4. Easements in Favor of Bridge. Upon request from Bridge, and subject to Aina Le‘a’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Aina Le‘a will, at no cost to Bridge, grant utility easements to Bridge in favor of the Bridge Property over, under, and through the Residential Property that Bridge reasonably requests from time to time for retail, commercial, agricultural, and any other type of development Bridge wishes to pursue on the Bridge Property, including but not limited to: (a) along the Sewer System or otherwise for any sewage and wastewater output from the Commercial Property to the Treatment Facility or other appropriate location; and (b) to connect to any future utility lines or systems located on the Residential Property. If Aina Le‘a fails to grant any such easement within 60 days’ of Bridge’s written request, Aina Le‘a (for itself and its successors and assigns) hereby appoints Bridge (and its successors and assigns) as Aina Le‘a’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, for purposes of executing and recording any such easements. Such easements will include rights of entry in favor of Bridge and Bridge’s contractors and agents to enter the Residential Property to construct, repair, and maintain all necessary or desirable improvements.
5. Temporary Use of Brackish Water.
(a) The Parties acknowledge that a six-inch plastic waterline (“Brackish Waterline”) for transporting brackish water is installed on Lot F-1/037, which (after it leaves Lot F-1/037) continues through the Residential Property to the boundary of the two parcels comprising the Residential Property, then roughly follows the boundary between those two parcels to the southern portion of the Residential Property, where it connects to a water storage pond on Lot B-1-A/038. On Lot F-1/037, the Brackish Waterline connects to a water well (“Brackish Well”), which uses Aina Le‘a’s water pump (“Brackish Pump”) and generator (“Brackish Generator”). In this Agreement, “Brackish System” means the Brackish Waterline, Brackish Well, Brackish Pump, Brackish Generator, and all related improvements.
(b) Commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the date that is five years after the Effective Date (“Brackish End Date”), Bridge grants Aina Le‘a a nonexclusive, temporary license to use the Brackish System to transport a reasonable amount of brackish water from the Brackish Well for Aina Le‘a’s use for dust control, irrigation, landscaping, and other uses in support of Aina Le‘a’s obligations under this Agreement. Aina Le‘a will, at Aina Le‘a’s sole cost: (1) supply diesel, oil, and filters and any other materials or supplies necessary or desirable for operating the Brackish System; and (2) repair, maintain, and keep the Brackish System (including but not limited to servicing the Brackish Pump) in good condition until the Brackish End Date. On the Brackish End Date Aina Le‘a may remove the Brackish Pump and Brackish Generator.
(c) Other than permitting the uses contemplated by this Temporary Use of Brackish Water Section until the Brackish End Date, Bridge will have absolutely no responsibilities to Aina Le‘a with respect to the brackish water (whether with regard supplying such water in any amounts, with regard to water quality, or otherwise) or the Brackish System,
397880
Page 10
whether before or after the Brackish End Date. Bridge may also use the brackish water and Brackish System for Bridge’s purposes.
(d) AINA LE‘A ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT AINA LE‘A IS LICENSING THE BRACKISH WATER AND THE PORTIONS OF THE BRACKISH SYSTEM NOT OWNED BY AINA LE‘A IN THEIR “AS-IS, WHERE IS” CONDITION “WITH ALL FAULTS” AND DEFECTS AND SPECIFICALLY AND EXPRESSLY WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, OR GUARANTEES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THEIR CONDITION, FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY, OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, NATURE, OR TYPE WHATSOEVER FROM OR ON BEHALF OF BRIDGE. BRIDGE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY, GUARANTY, OR REPRESENTATION, ORAL OR WRITTEN, PAST OR PRESENT, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, CONCERNING THE BRACKISH WATER OR BRACKISH SYSTEM, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE COMPLIANCE OF OR BY THE BRACKISH SYSTEM OR ITS OPERATION WITH ANY LAWS, RULES, ORDINANCES, OR REGULATIONS OF ANY APPLICABLE GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY OR BODY, OR THE MANNER OR QUALITY OF THE CONSTRUCTION OR MATERIALS, IF ANY, INCORPORATED INTO THE BRACKISH SYSTEM.
6. Additional Development Requirements.
(a) Delegation and Assumption. Bridge delegates and assigns to Aina Le‘a all of Bridge’s obligations and liabilities under the Development Requirements (defined below) as required for the Commercial, Residential and Affordable-Housing Properties (and excluding such Development Requirements for the Bridge Property), and Aina Le‘a assumes and accepts the same. Aina Le‘a will perform all the Development Requirements at Aina Le‘a’s sole cost as and when required by the Development Requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing statement, Aina Le‘a will develop and construct the Improvements in compliance with all Development Requirements. Aina Le‘a acknowledges and agrees that part of the consideration for Aina Le‘a’s assuming all the Development Requirements was the amount negotiated for the purchase price of the Residential Property.
(b) Location of Facilities. The Parties acknowledge that the LUC Order requires certain improvements to be constructed (including but not limited to two parks and a school). Except for the portions of the Improvements and facilities required by the Development Requirements which must, by their nature, be placed on the Bridge Property (as applicable, “Bridge-Property Development-Requirement Improvements”), Aina Le‘a will locate and construct the parks, school, Treatment Facility, and all other facilities and improvements contemplated by the Development Requirements on the Residential Property or the Affordable-Housing Property. Aina Le‘a will bear all costs and expenses related in any way with the parks, school, and other facilities required by the Development Requirements (including but not limited to any mauka-makai connector road). Except as otherwise specifically and expressly required by this Agreement (if at all), Aina Le‘a will not be obligated to make any additional payments to Bridge for the right to construct Bridge-Property Development-Requirement Improvements on Bridge Property.
397880
Page 11
(c) Failure to Comply; Remedies. If Aina Le‘a has developed or constructed (before the Effective Date), or in the future develops or constructs, any of the Improvements other than in compliance with all Development Requirements, or otherwise fails to comply with any of the Development Requirements as and when required by the Development Requirements, then Aina Le‘a will, at Aina Le‘a’s sole cost, promptly remedy all such noncompliances without demand from Bridge. However, if Aina Le‘a fails to remedy such noncompliances within 105 days’ written notice from Bridge (or, if a noncompliance is of a nature that it cannot be remedied within 105 days, such longer period of time is as appropriate for remedying the noncompliance, as long as Aina Le‘a commences efforts and diligently and continuously pursues such remedy, up to a maximum of six months), Bridge may (without limiting any other remedies available to Bridge) make any such corrections at Aina Le‘a’s cost. Aina Le‘a hereby grants Bridge and Bridge’s contractors and agents a right of entry on the Residential Property for purposes of the foregoing. Aina Le‘a will, within 30 days after receiving written notice from Bridge, reimburse and pay Bridge for all costs Bridge reasonably incurs related to such corrections, plus applicable general exercise tax. Bridge may require Aina Le‘a to pay for expenses Bridge incurs as they are incurred, or monthly, or at any other reasonable interval Bridge wishes from time to time. If Aina Le‘a fails to pay such amounts when due, the amounts due will accrue interest at the rate of 10% per year.
(d) Definition of Development Requirements. Development Requirements means all rules, regulations, zoning requirements, and other requirements imposed by any governmental authority (collectively, “Development Requirements”) applicable to Lots, including but not limited to:
(1) the State of Hawaii Land Use Commission’s Decision and Order in Docket No. A87-617 dated January 17, 1989, as amended several times (“LUC Order”), which is stated in an Amended and Restated Certificate and Consent made by Bridge dated January 20, 2006 and recorded in the Bureau on February 2, 2006 as Document No. 2006-021470;
(2) County of Hawaii Zoning Ordinance 93-1, as amended by Ordinance No. 96-153;
(3) Conditional Use Permit 91-7; and
(4) any amendments to the foregoing.
7. Indemnification. Each Party (as applicable, “Indemnifying Party”) will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other Parties and their respective managers, members, directors, officers, shareholders, owners, partners, employees, agents, consultants, representatives, assignees, successors-in-interest, attorneys, accountants, and affiliates (collectively, “Affiliates”) from and against any and all damages, losses, costs, expenses (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs), liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, and other matters (collectively, “Claims”) arising from or related to the Indemnifying Party’s negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of this Agreement (including but not limited to Aina Le‘a’s failure to comply with any of the Development Requirements). Without limiting the foregoing, Aina Le‘a will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Bridge and Bridge’s Affiliates from and against any Claims related to planning, engineering, obtaining permits for, constructing, operating, or maintaining the
397880
Page 12
Improvements. Bridge will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Aina Le‘a from and against any Claims related to planning, engineering, obtaining permits for, constructing, operating, or maintaining the Expansions to the extent any such Claims are the result of Bridge’s negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of this Agreement.
8. Cross Default.
(a) The Parties acknowledge and agree that, immediately preceding the Parties’ execution and delivery of this Agreement, Bridge conveyed the Residential Property to Aina Le‘a pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement for Residential Property at Aina Le‘a between Borrower and Lender dated _______________, 2015 (“PSA”). Pursuant to the PSA and contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement:
(1) Bridge is making a purchase-money loan to Aina Le‘a in the principal amount of $14,000,000.00 USD (“Loan”) to enable Aina Le‘a to purchase the Residential Property;
(2) Aina Le‘a is delivering a Promissory Note in the amount of and evidencing the Loan to Bridge (“Note”); and
(3) Aina Le‘a is granting and recording in the Bureau a Purchase-Money Mortgage, Security Agreement, and Financing Statement over the Residential Property in favor of Bridge (“Residential-Property Mortgage”) as Document No. _________________.
(b) Any Material Default (defined below) will be a breach of this Agreement and all the Ancillary Agreements (defined below), for which Bridge will have and may pursue all remedies available under this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements (including but not limited to foreclosing on the Mortgage), at law, or in equity. Without limiting the foregoing, if a Material Default occurs, Bridge may terminate all or any portion of this Agreement without prejudice to or limiting any of Bridge’s other remedies. “Ancillary Agreements” means the PSA, Note, Residential-Property Mortgage, and Easement Grants collectively.
(c) In this Agreement, “Material Default” means any one or more of the following events:
(1) Aina Le‘a fails to complete construction of any of the Utility Systems by the Utilities Completion Deadline and thereafter fails to meet the Overdue Completion Bond Requirements (defined below) by the date that is 60 days after the Utilities Completion Deadline (“Overdue Completion Deadline”), without any requirement of notice from Bridge. “Overdue Completion Bond Requirements” means Aina Le‘a obtains (at no cost to Bridge), and provides Bridge with a fully-signed copy of, a bond which:
(A) names Bridge, and the County of Hawaii (if appropriate), as obligee;
(B) is in the amount of the estimated cost of all Aina Le‘a’s unperformed construction-related obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Utility
397880
Page 13
Systems (including for performance, materials, labor, and any other associated costs), the estimated amount of which must be reasonably approved by Bridge, plus 10%;
(C) may be called on for payment by the obligee if all of such unperformed obligations are not fully performed and completed within one year after the Utilities Completion Deadline (“Bond Deadline”); and
(D) is issued by a reputable United States-based bonding company reasonably satisfactory to Bridge.
If Aina Le‘a meets the Overdue Completion Bond Requirements by the Overdue Completion Deadline, Aina Le‘a will thereafter make diligent efforts to perform and complete all such unperformed obligations by the Bond Deadline.
(2) Any Material Default occurs (as that term is defined in any of the Ancillary Agreements) under any of the Ancillary Agreements.
9. Lien for Amounts Due. Any amounts owed to Bridge under this Agreement from time to time will constitute a lien on the Residential Property. If Aina Le‘a fails to pay any amount owed to Bridge when due under this Agreement, Bridge may, either with or without first taking possession of the Residential Property, proceed by suit at law or in equity or by any other appropriate remedy to enforce payment of the obligations secured by this Agreement, foreclose this Agreement, and sell all or any portion of the Residential Property under the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither Bridge nor any commissioner in foreclosure will be obligated to sell upon credit unless Bridge expressly consents in writing to a sale upon credit.
10. Covenants Run with the Land. The rights and obligations of this Agreement constitute and will be enforced as covenants and benefits running with the land and equitable liens and servitudes, and will bind and inure to the Parties’ successors and assigns.
11. Bridge’s Consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no consent or approval given by Bridge pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will be deemed to be a representation or warranty by Bridge regarding any matter pertaining to the subject for which Bridge’s consent or approval was given (including but not limited to the adequacy, quality, safety, or legality of the requested or proposed matter). Bridge will have no liability for consenting to or approving any matter.
12. No Partnership or Joint Development. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to create a partnership, joint-venture arrangement, or principal/agent relationship between the Parties, or to provide for a joint development of the Parties’ respective properties.
13. Partial Releases.
(a) Right to Release. Aina Le‘a will have the right, from time to time, to obtain a partial release from this Agreement (“Partial Release”) of any fully-subdivided residential lot, parcel or condo unit which comprises a portion of the Residential Property or Affordable-Housing
397880
Page 14
Property without payment to Bridge, after meeting all the Partial-Release Conditions (defined below). No partial releases of any portion of the Residential Property or Affordable-Housing Property will be permitted other than as expressly set forth in this Section 13 Partial Releases. Bridge will not be obligated to provide any Partial Release until each of the following conditions are satisfied to Bridge’s reasonable satisfaction (collectively, “Partial-Release Conditions”):
(1) Aina Le‘a has requested the Partial Release of a specific lot, parcel or unit in writing at least 15 Business Days’ before Aina Le‘a desires to have the lot or unit released (“Partial Release Date”);
(2) no Material Default has occurred and is continuing at the time Borrower requests a Partial Release or on the Partial Release Date;
(3) Aina Le‘a has paid all amounts then due and unpaid under the Note through (and including) amounts due on the Release Date and in connection with the Partial Release;
(4) Aina Le‘a’s request for the Partial Release is for a sale of 100% of the fee-simple ownership of the residential lot, parcel or condo unit in an arms-length transaction to a third-party end user who or which is unrelated to, not affiliated with, and not under common control or ownership with Aina Le‘a or EHS, and who or which intends to use the lot, parcel or unit solely for residential purposes for a period of at least one year after the closing (“Third-Party Buyer”);
(5) Aina Le‘a has: (A) identified an escrow company reasonably satisfactory to Bridge which will hold the Partial Release in escrow; (B) irrevocably instructed the escrow company in writing to not release or deliver the Partial Release except in connection with the closing of the sale of such lot, parcel or unit to the Third-Party Buyer, and to provide a copy of the deed conveying the lot, parcel or unit to the Third-Party Buyer at closing; and (C) provided Bridge with a copy of such irrevocable instructions signed by both Aina Le‘a and the escrow company;
(6) the closing of the sale to the Third-Party Buyer occurs within six months of the date Bridge delivers the executed Partial Release to the escrow company; and
(7) a director or an officer of Aina Le‘a provides Aina Le‘a with a signed affidavit attesting that the foregoing conditions have been met.
(8) Aina Le`a’s transfer of a lot or parcel to a governmental entity for a public purpose such as a school or park shall be deemed to a sale to a Third-Party Buyer for purposes of obtaining a Partial Release under the terms of this section.
(b) Reimbursement of Bridge’s Expenses. Aina Le‘a will pay all of Aina Le‘a’s expenses (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with reviewing and documenting any Partial Release. If Aina Le‘a fails to pay such amounts, and in addition to Bridge’s other remedies for Aina Le‘a’s failure to perform, the unpaid amounts will be added to the
397880
Page 15
principal, will bear interest at the rate provided in the Note until paid in full, and will be secured by the Residential-Property Mortgage and other collateral given to secure the Loan.
(c) No Effect on Other Portions of Premises. No Partial Release granted by Bridge will in any way impair or affect the applicability of this Agreement to the portion of the Premises not included in a Partial Release, or improve the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto.
14. Miscellaneous.
(a) Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT WHICH ANY PARTY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING, LITIGATION, OR COUNTERCLAIM BASED ON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY LAWSUIT IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY WILL PRESENT AS A NON-COMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM IN ANY SUCH LAWSUIT ANY CLAIM BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.
(a) Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with regard to the provisions of this Agreement.
(b) Computation of Time. The calculation of any time period provided in this Agreement will not include the day on which the time period begins, but will include the last day of the time period.

(e) Definitions. The bolding, capitalizing of initial letters, and enclosing of a word or phrase in quotation marks in this Agreement means that word or phrase is defined by the surrounding text, as suggested by the context (each a “Defined Term”). Unless otherwise stated or logically required by the context, each use of a Defined Term with capitalized initial letters but without bolding and quotation marks incorporates the corresponding definition. An uncapitalized word or phrase is not a Defined Term and retains its common or legal term-of-art meaning, as applicable, notwithstanding that the word or phrase may contain the same text as a Defined Term.

All recitals (i.e., the background information provided after the opening paragraph of this Agreement), Exhibits, and Schedules (if any) referenced in this Agreement are a part of this Agreement.
(j) Waiver. A failure by Bridge to require strict performance of any provision of this Agreement, or to exercise any right or remedy arising because of a breach, is not a waiver of such breach or any other covenant, duty, agreement, or condition. Any extension or waiver by Bridge of any provision in this Agreement will be valid only if set forth in a writing signed by Bridge.
(k) Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a written instrument executed by all of the Parties who would be affected by the amendment.
(l) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality, and enforceability of such provision in every other respect and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not, at the election of the Party for whose benefit the provision exists, be in any way impaired.
(m) Applicable Law. The Parties intend for this Agreement to be governed by and interpreted according to the internal laws of the State of Hawaii, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law.
(n) Disputes. The Parties will bring all actions in law, equity, or otherwise arising under this Agreement, or related to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, exclusively in the federal or state courts of Hawaii, and in no other jurisdiction or venue. Each Party consents to the jurisdiction of such courts.
(o) Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. If any Party institutes a lawsuit of any nature in connection with any controversy arising out of this Agreement, or to interpret or enforce any rights under this Agreement, the prevailing Party may recover all expenses it incurs in enforcing this Agreement, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and costs. Any judgment or order entered in such lawsuit will contain a specific provision providing for the recovery of attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in enforcing such judgment and an award of prejudgment interest from the date of the breach at the maximum rate of interest allowed by law. The prevailing Party will be determined by the court based on an assessment of which Party’s major arguments made or positions taken in the proceedings could fairly be said to have prevailed over the other Party’s major arguments or positions on major disputed issues.

relying on any representation or statement made by any other Party or any other Party’s legal counsel in entering into this Agreement.
(q) Drafting. This Agreement is the result of negotiation between sophisticated parties. No provision of this Agreement may be interpreted for or against any Party on the basis that it drafted such provision, and no presumption or burden of proof may arise disfavoring or favoring any Party because of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
(r) Waiver. Except as otherwise expressly and explicitly provided in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the Parties under this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Any waiver of the terms, conditions, or provisions of this Agreement or a Party’s rights or remedies under this Agreement must be in writing to be effective and will be limited to the instance for which such waiver was issued unless expressed otherwise in writing signed by the Party providing the waiver. Failure, neglect, or delay by a Party to enforce the terms, conditions, or provisions of this Agreement or such Party’s rights or remedies at any time will not be construed as a waiver of such Party’s rights under this Agreement and will not in any way affect the validity of the whole or any part of this Agreement or prejudice such Party’s right to take any subsequent action. No exercise or enforcement by any Party of that Party’s rights or remedies under this Agreement will preclude the enforcement by such Party of any of its other rights or remedies that are available under this Agreement or by law.

Pursuant to the PSA and contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Lease:

In this Lease, “Lessor’s Property” means the Commercial Property and Agricultural Property collectively, but not the Leased Sites. |
Lessor is also a party to the following agreements and instruments (collectively, “Agreements”):
(a) | Restated Water Agreement dated April 1, 2003 with Hale Wailani Partners LP, a Hawaii limited partnership, a short form of which was recorded in the Bureau on February 22, 2005 as Document No. 2005-035372 (“Wailani Water Agreement”); |
(b) | Grant of Easement dated April 17, 2006 from Mauna Kea Development Corp., a Hawaii corporation, recorded in the Bureau on April 18, 2006 as Document No. 2006-072169 (“Uplands-System Easement”); |
(c) | Easement dated December 17, 2003 from Waikoloa Village Association, a Hawaii nonprofit corporation, recorded in the Bureau on December 22, 2013 as Document No. 2003-281789 (“Lalamilo Easement”); and |
(d) | Water Development Agreement (“Water-Board Agreement”) dated September 26, 2006 with the Water Board of the County of Hawaii (“Water Board”). |
The Agreements contemplate Lessor’s developing and constructing: (a) wells on the Leased Sites or on the “Wailani Well” site (as that term is defined in the Wailani Water Agreement) (collectively, “Ouli Wells”); (b) a water system to deliver water from the Ouli Wells to the Water Board’s reservoir (“Uplands Reservoir”) located makai of the Leased Sites (which is part of the Water Board’s water system known as the Mauna Kea Uplands System (“Uplands System”)); and (c) a water system to deliver water from the Water Board’s water system located to the southeast of the Leased Sites known as the Lalamilo System (“Lalamilo System”) to Lessee’s Property and Lessor’s Property. The Water-Board Agreement contemplates allocating water from the Lalamilo System to Lessor based on a portion of the Ouli Wells’ capacity.
The Easements/Utilities Agreement requires, among other things, that Lessee develop and construct certain utility-related improvements to serve the Commercial Property.
Lessor and Lessee (collectively, “Parties”) wish for Lessor to lease the Leased Sites and assign the Agreements to Lessee for the purpose of Lessee’s developing all the water systems and improvements contemplated for development by Lessor under the Agreements (collectively, “Water Systems”), and Lessee wishes to accept and assume the same, according to the terms of
358445
Page 4
this Lease and in a manner that is consistent with the Easements/Utilities Agreements.
Therefore, in consideration of their mutual undertakings as set forth in this Lease, the receipt and sufficiency of which the Parties acknowledge, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Lease/Assignment; Reservations.
(a) For the Term (defined below) and subject to all the reservations, terms, and conditions of this Lease, Lessor: (1) leases the Leased Sites to Lessee, subject to the Leased-Sites’ Encumbrances, (2) assigns the Agreements and all rights under the Agreements to Lessee, and (3) delegates all duties under the Agreements to Lessee. Lessee accepts and assumes the same. In this Lease, “Lease/Assignment” means the lease, assignment, delegation, acceptance, and assumption under this Lease/Assignment; Reservations Section.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Lease, Lessor reserves from the Lease/Assignment the following:
(1) The right to be conveyed and assigned any and all well sites (including but not limited to the Wailani Well), land, easements, and other property rights from Hale Wailani Partners LP (or its successor or assignee) under the Wailani Water Agreement. None of the foregoing rights may be conveyed or assigned to Lessee, and Lessee will not accept any conveyance or assignment of such rights.
(2) The right of first refusal and other rights under Section 23 of the Wailani Water Agreement, and all related or supporting rights pertaining to that right of first refusal.
(3) The right and power to agree to amend any of the Agreements.
(4) The right and power to agree to waive or release any right or remedy under any of the Agreements.
(c) As long as no Event of Default (defined below) occurs, Lessor will not exercise any of the foregoing reserved rights in a manner that would materially impair or negatively alter Lessee’s rights under this Lease.
2. Term. The term of this Lease (“Term”) will commence on the Effective Date and terminate on the date that the Water Systems are granted, conveyed, or dedicated to the Water Board pursuant to the Water-Board Agreement, subject to Lessor’s rights under Section 16 Default and Remedies.
3. Use and Exercise of Rights. Lessee will use the Leased Sites and exercise the rights under the Agreements assigned to Lessee (“Agreement Rights”) solely for: (a) developing an integrated system for the delivery of potable water from the Ouli Wells; (b) obtaining, for Lessor’s and Lessee’s benefit, the allocation of water from the Lalamilo System as contemplated by the Water-Board Agreement; (c) developing an integrated system for the delivery of potable water from the Lalamilo System to Lessor’s Property and Lessee’s Property
358445
Page 5
(“Lalamilo Improvements”); and (d) ancillary purposes necessary to support or accomplish the foregoing.
4. Development, Construction, and Dedication of Water Systems.
(a) Completion Deadline.
(1) Lessee will develop and construct the Water Systems by the date that is seven years after the Effective Date (“Completion Deadline”). Lessee will use Lessee’s best commercially-reasonable efforts to dedicate the Water Systems to the Water Board and cause the Water Board to accept the same as soon after Lessee substantially completes the Water Systems as is commercially reasonable. Failure of the Water Board to accept the Water Systems when completed by Lessee is not an Event of Default hereunder. Lessee will promptly perform (at Lessee’s cost) all water testing and other commercially-reasonable requirements imposed by the Water Board for such dedication.
(2) Lessee may extend the “Completion Deadline” by two years after the originally-scheduled Completion Deadline if:
(A) Lessee has substantially completed Lessee’s Obligations (defined below);
(B) before expiration of the originally-scheduled Completion Deadline, Lessee obtains a bond naming Lessor as obligee for completion of Lessee’s Obligations (defined below) by the extended deadline set forth in this Section 4(a)(2) from a bonding company reasonably satisfactory to Lessor in the amount of the estimated cost of the then-remaining Lessee’s Obligations (including for performance, materials, labor, and any other associated costs), the estimated amount of which must be reasonably approved by Lessor, plus 10% (the foregoing requirements, “Bond Requirements”); and
(C) no Event of Default (defined below) or Material Default has occurred. “Material Default” has the meaning set forth in the Easements/Utilities Agreement.
(b) Lessee’s Obligations; Costs. “Lessee’s Obligations” means Lessee’s obligations to develop and construct the Water Systems and all other obligations under this Lease and the Agreements. Lessee will be responsible for all costs of performing Lessee’s Obligations, including but not limited to the costs designing, engineering, obtaining permits for, and constructing the Water Systems. For clarification and without limiting the definition of Lessee’s Obligations, Lessee’s Obligations include:
(1) constructing all ancillary improvements necessary for construction, operation, maintenance, and repair of the Ouli Wells, pumps, and transmission lines for both the Uplands System and Lalamilo System, including but not limited to all appropriate roads and any necessary supporting utility improvements (e.g., electrical);
358445
Page 6
(2) complying with the easement instrument dated January 29, 1993 in favor of Hawaiian Electric Light Company, Inc. and recorded in the Bureau as Document No. 93-026334, as is referenced in the Uplands-System Easement;
(3) constructing the “Emergency Roadway” contemplated by Section 14 of the Lalamilo Easement; and
(4) giving any notices of the Lease/Assignment to the applicable parties required by the Agreements (e.g., Section 14 of the Uplands-System Easement).
(c) Uplands Improvements. Lessee will develop the Uplands System portion of the Water Systems (“Uplands Improvements”) with at least two operational Ouli Wells, with no more than one Ouli Well on each of the Leased Sites or the Wailani Well, as applicable.
(d) Lalamilo Improvements.
(1) Lessee will design and construct the Lalamilo Improvements to the Commercial Property through the Agricultural Land, Residential Property, and Affordable-Housing Parcel: (A) in a manner that permits Lessor to tap into and use water transmitted through the Lalamilo Improvements on the Agricultural Property and Commercial Property; (B) with sufficient size and capacity to deliver all the Excess Water (defined below) to the Agricultural Property and Commercial Property; (C) in a manner that is consistent with the requirements regarding the improvements that will serve the Commercial Property contemplated in the Easements/Utilities Agreement; and (D) all as approved by Lessor in Lessor’s reasonable discretion. The location of the Lalamilo Improvements on the Agricultural Property will also be subject to Lessor’s approval.
(2) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Easements/Utilities Agreement contemplates Lessee obtaining water for Lessor’s use at Lessor’s Property from the Waikoloa Water Co., Inc., a Hawaii corporation (“Waikoloa Water Co.”). The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Excess Water under this Agreement is intended to supplement the water from Waikoloa Water Co.
(e) Compliance with Agreements and Laws. Lessee will develop and construct the Water Systems as required (and only in the areas permitted) by, and in a manner that is consistent, in conformity, and in harmony with the intent of:
(1) the Agreements;
(2) the Easements/Utilities Agreement;
(3) all applicable governmental laws, regulations, rules, zoning requirements, ordinances, orders, permits, licenses, and other requirements imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental authority (collectively, “Laws”), including but not limited to: (A) the State of Hawaii Land Use Commission’s Decision and Order in Docket No. A87-617 dated January 17, 1989, as amended several times, which is stated in an Amended and Restated
358445
Page 7
Certificate and Consent made by Lessor dated January 20, 2006 and recorded in the Bureau on February 2, 2006 as Document No. 2006-021470; (B) County of Hawaii Zoning Ordinance 93-1, as amended by Ordinance No. 96-153; and (C) Conditional Use Permit 91-7; and
(4) any applicable utility-company’s rules, requirements, and policies (e.g., Hawaii Electric Light Company, Inc.).
(f) Maximum Production. Lessee will use its best efforts and every means technically feasible to situate, design, drill, and otherwise develop and cause the Leased Sites to yield the maximum production of potable water from the Ouli Wells, including but not limited to expanding the size, depth, and pumping capacity, as necessary. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing requirement is intended for Lessor’s benefit to maximize the amount Excess Water (defined below) produced by the Ouli Wells, and that Lessor would not have been willing to enter into this Lease unless Lessee agreed to use its best efforts and every means possible to maximize such production.
(g) Lessor’s Approval of Elections, Designs, and Plans.
(1) Lessee will give written notice to Lessor of any elections it wishes to make under the Agreements (for example, which well sites to develop under the Wailani Water Agreement) at least 30 days before the deadline for any such election. All of Lessee’s elections under the Agreements will be subject to Lessor’s written approval, which Lessor may not unreasonably withhold or delay.
(2) Before submitting any designs or plans to the Water Board and before beginning any construction, Lessee will provide copies of all designs and plans for the Water Systems for Lessor’s written approval, which approval Lessor may not unreasonably withhold. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it will be reasonable for Lessor to withhold or condition its approval if Lessor reasonably concludes that the action for which Lessee seeks approval would or might violate, breach, or be inconsistent with the intent of any Laws, any of the Agreements, this Lease, or the Easements/Utilities Agreement.
(3) Lessee will pay for Lessor’s costs to review such elections, designs, and plans (including but not limited to any engineers’ and architects’ fees), plus applicable general excise tax. Lessor may withhold approval of such elections, designs, and plans until Lessee reimburses Lessor for such costs (including applicable general excise tax).
(h) Governmental and Other Permits; Community Facility Districts.
(1) Lessee will be solely responsible for taking all actions, obtaining all governmental and other permits, and bearing all costs and expenses associated in any way with developing, operating, or dedicating the Water Systems. Lessee will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lessor from and against any claim or cause of action relating to said development, operation, and dedication or the failure thereof. The Parties’ respective rights and obligations in the foregoing sentence will survive expiration of the Term and any termination of this Lease.
358445
Page 8
(2) As long as doing so does not negatively affect or diminish Lessor’s rights under this Lease or otherwise, Lessor will (at no cost to Lessor) cooperate with any and all applications for Community Facility District funding by Lessee, including the transfer of this Lease to a Community Facility District benefiting any one or more of the Residential Property, the Affordable-Housing Property, or a public utility company formed to supply water to the Residential Property, the Affordable-Housing Property, or both.
(i) Additional Easements/Rights.
(1) If the Agreements do not provide all easements, right-of-ways, and other rights necessary or desirable for Lessee to perform Lessee’s Obligations (collectively, “Additional Rights/Easements”), Lessee will, at Lessee’s sole cost, obtain all Additional Rights/Easements necessary or desirable to perform Lessee’s Obligations.
(2) If Lessee breaches any of Lessee’s Obligations, all Additional Easements/Rights which Lessee has then obtained will automatically be assigned and conveyed to Lessor without any further action from Lessee. In such event, Lessee will execute, within three business days’ of Lessor’s request from time to time, any one or more documents or instruments confirming such assignment and conveyance. If Lessee fails to execute any such documents or instruments by the foregoing deadline (as applicable from time to time), Lessee (for itself and its successors and assigns) hereby irrevocably appoints Lessor (and Lessor’s successors and assigns) as Lessee’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, for purposes of executing and recording any such documents and easements.
(j) Dedication to Water Board. Lessee will, immediately upon completion of the Water Systems, seek to dedicate the Water Systems to the Water Board, and will fulfill all conditions upon such dedication requested or mandated by the Water Board. Lessor will cooperate with Lessee with the dedication of the Water Systems to the Water Board, including, but not limited to dedicating the fee-simple interest in the Leased Sites to the Water Board upon request by Lessee concurrently with Lessee’s dedication of the Water Systems.
5. Allocation of Water.
(a) Lessee’s First Priority. As long as Lessee has not breached any of Lessee’s Obligations, Lessee will be entitled to a first-priority allocation of the potable water which is allocated to Lessor or Lessor’s successor in interest (as applicable, “Lessor Party”) (whether under the Water-Board Agreement or otherwise) in the amount of Lessee’s Water Requirement (defined below), solely for use on Lessee’s Property. Lessee will not be entitled to the foregoing allocation if Lessee has breached any of its obligations under this Lease, unless Lessor has waived such breach in a writing citing this Section of this Lease and specifically stating that Lessor waives that breach. Any such waiver by Lessor will only apply to that specific breach, and will not be deemed to apply to any other breaches by Lessee. “Lessee’s Water Requirement” means a maximum amount equal to: (1) 600 gallons per day for each fully-constructed single-family residence; (2) 400 gallons per day for each fully-constructed attached multi-family residence; and (3) for non-residential structures constructed on Lessee’s Property, the amount of potable water reasonably required for use of such structures.
358445
Page 9
(b) Lessor’s Right to Excess Water. Any and all water allocated to Lessor Party under the Water-Board Agreement, and any water otherwise available to the Water Systems (whether by way of the Agreements or otherwise), which is in excess of Lessee’s Water Requirement (“Excess Water”) will be allocated to Lessor to be used by Lessor for any reason in Lessor’s sole and absolute discretion, whether on Lessor’s Property or elsewhere; provided, however, that Lessor’s rights to Excess Water will at all times be subordinated to Lessee’s Water Requirement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lessor may sell Excess Water, and water credits associated with any Excess Water, to third parties without notice to Lessee. Lessor’s rights to Excess Water will be revocable if and to the extent water is required for the development of Lessee’s units in accordance with Lessee’s Water Requirement and the amount of available water is limited by the developed wells in the Water Systems. Lessor’s rights to Excess Water will continue even if Lessee is unable to grant, convey, or dedicate the Water Systems to the Water Board.
(c) Survival. The Parties’ respective rights and obligations under this Allocation of Water Section will survive expiration of the Term and any termination of this Lease.
6. Rent. In consideration of this Lease, and in addition to its other undertakings hereunder, Lessee will pay to Lessor an amount equal to annual County of Hawaii real-property taxes on the Leased Sites and all other governmental or quasi-governmental fees or charges assessed against the Leased Sites or the owner of the Leased Sites during the Term, plus general excise tax, payable in full at least 15 Business Days before their due date, or upon earlier notice from Lessor. Lessee’s obligation to pay rent during the Term will survive expiration of the Term and any termination of this Lease (i.e., termination of this Lease will not terminate Lessee’s obligation to pay rent which accrued before termination, but Lessee will not be obligated to pay rent for periods after the Term).
7. Inspections by Lessor. Lessor may inspect the Leased Sites and Water Systems from time to time. If Lessor discovers any problems or issues pertaining to Leased Sites or Water Systems which require repair, maintenance, or other actions and Lessor fails to take appropriate actions within 15 days of Lessor’s written notice to Lessee regarding the same, Lessor may make such repairs, perform such maintenance, or take such other appropriate action, and Lessee will reimburse Lessor for the costs of the same, plus applicable general excise tax, within 30 calendar days of Lessor’s written demand to Lessee for payment of the same. If Lessee fails to pay such amount owed by the foregoing deadline, the amount due will accrue interest at the rate of 10% per year.
8. Notice of Triggers, Deadlines, and Defaults. Lessee will notify Lessor in writing of:
(a) any event which triggers any deadline under any of the Agreements within two business days of the occurrence of such event (as an example and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Hale Wailani Partners LP (or its successor) gives the “Wailani Development Notice” contemplated by Section 2.a of the Wailani Water Agreement), and will reference the specific Agreement, section, and deadline which has been triggered in such notice;
358445
Page 10
(b) any deadline which is approaching under any Agreement at least 60 days before such deadline occurs, even if Lessor has constructive or actual knowledge of such deadline;
(c) any default of or breach by any party (including Lessee) of any of the Agreements within two business days of learning of such default or breach; and
(d) any notices given by any party (including Lessee) under any of the Agreements, along with a full copy of such notice, within two business days of Lessee’s receiving or sending such notice.
9. “AS-IS” CONVEYANCE AND ASSIGNMENT. LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT IS ACCEPTING THE LEASED SITES AND AGREEMENT RIGHTS IN THEIR “AS-IS, WHERE-IS” CONDITION, AND THAT LESSOR HAS MADE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES TO LESSEE REGARDING ANY MATTER RELATING TO THE LEASED SITES, AGREEMENT RIGHTS, OR WATER SYSTEMS. LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT LESSOR HAS MADE AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER TO LESSEE WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER RELATING TO THIS LEASE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE QUALITY OR QUANTITY OF WATER WHICH THE OULI WELLS MAY PRODUCE, THE COST OF DEVELOPING AND CONSTRUCTING THE WATER SYSTEMS, OR THAT THE ALLOCATION OF WATER TO LESSEE UNDER THIS LEASE WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR LESSEE’S PURPOSES. LESSOR EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY SUCH ALLEGED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY.
10. Lessor’s Consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, no consent or approval given by Lessor pursuant to the terms of this Lease will be deemed to be a representation or warranty by Lessor regarding any matter pertaining to the subject for which Lessor’s consent or approval was given (including but not limited to the adequacy, quality, safety, or legality of the requested or proposed matter). Lessor will have no liability for consenting to or approving any matter.
11. No Partnership or Joint Development. Nothing in this Lease is intended to create a partnership, joint-venture arrangement, or principal/agent relationship between the Parties, or to provide for a joint development of the Parties’ respective properties.
12. Insurance.
(a) Lessee’s Casualty Insurance. At all times during the Term, Lessee will procure and maintain, without cost to Lessor, the following policies of insurance with an insurance company or companies qualified to do business in Hawaii and in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor:
(1) Commercial General Liability insuring against all claims, demands, and actions arising out of or in connection with occurrences on and throughout the Leased Sites and the Water Systems, covering the development, construction, and operation of
358445
Page 11
the Leased Sites and Water Systems, and all operations of Lessee and all parties affiliated in any way with Lessee in connection with the Leased Sites and Water Systems, and for liabilities assumed under this Lease. The policy must:
(A) include coverage for bodily injuries and property damage arising from the Leased Sites and Water Systems and operations, independent contractors, products and completed operations, personal injuries, blanket contractual liabilities, fire legal liabilities, and employees as additional insureds;
(B) have the following minimum limits:
(i) a combined single limit for bodily injuries and property damage of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 general aggregate, and $2,000,000 products and completed operations aggregate;
(ii) not less than $1,000,000 per person or per organization for personal injuries, subject to the $2,000,000 general aggregate;
(iii) not less than $50,000 for any one fire for fire legal damage, subject to the $2,000,000 general aggregate;
(iv) not less than $5,000 for any one person for medical expenses, subject to the $2,000,000 general aggregate;
(C) be endorsed to provide that the general aggregate limit exclusively applies to the Leased Sites and Water Systems;
(D) insure the performance by Lessee of the Indemnity Section of this Lease (but such insurance will not limit the liability or extent of liability of Lessee under that Section); and
(E) contain a provision in the policy and certificate of insurance specifically naming as additional insureds Lessor and its Affiliates and mortgagees (collectively, “Required Additional Insureds”).
(2) Umbrella Insurance with a minimum limit of $2,000,000 and a self-insured retention no greater than $10,000 in addition to other limits provided by the commercial general liability and employers’ liability policies required under this Lease. Such umbrella policy will, at a minimum, provide as broad a coverage as the aforementioned primary insurance policies, will provide defense expense in addition to the limit of liability stated in the policy, and will contain a provision in the policy and certificate of insurance specifically naming as additional insureds Lessor the Required Additional Insureds.
(3) Workers’ Compensation and Employers’ Liability insurance as required by and in conformity with applicable Law, plus voluntary compensation coverage, other states coverage, and, if applicable, for all employees working in, at or on the Leased Sites and Water Systems, providing not less than the statutory workers’ compensation benefits and
358445
Page 12
employers’ liability insurance limits of $1,000,000 for each employee, $1,000,000 policy limit by disease, and $1,000,000 for each accident. Such insurance will be endorsed to include a waiver of any rights of subrogation against Lessor and the Required Additional Insureds.
(4) Pollution Legal Liability Insurance, if required by Lessor because of special environmental concerns regarding Lessee’s operations, covering claims for damage or injury caused by hazardous materials, including, without limitation, bodily injury, wrongful death, property damage, including loss of use, removal, cleanup, and restoration of work and materials necessary to return the Leased Sites, any property subject to the Agreements, and Lessor’s Property to their condition existing prior to the appearance of Lessee’s hazardous materials on the foregoing property, which insurance will be required only during the period of construction of the Water Systems. The policy will contain a provision specifically naming as additional insureds Lessor and the Required Additional Insureds. If such coverage is applicable, limits for Pollution Legal Liability coverage will be determined by Lessor.
(5) All insurance required to be provided by Lessee under this paragraph will:
(A) be written on an “occurrence” form;
(B) cover the whole portion of the Leased Sites and the Water Systems, and will also cover any act or omission of any employee of Lessee and any occurrence involving any employee of Lessee which occurs at any other portion of the property in which the Leased Sites and Water Systems are located and occurs in the course of such employee’s employment with Lessee; and
(C) include an endorsement providing that inclusion of more than one entity as insured under any such policy will in no way affect the right of any insured entity thereunder as respects any claim, demand, suit, or judgment made or brought by or in favor of any other insured entity, so that the policy will protect each entity in the same manner as though a separate policy had been issued to each entity.
(b) Lessee’s Property Insurance. Lessee will, without cost to Lessor, keep the Leased Sites, all improvements, the Water Systems, and all equipment, fixtures, appurtenances, trade fixtures, business personal property, and all other contents located on, in, or at the Leased Sites or Water Systems insured throughout the Term (and any renewals or extensions) for the full replacement cost new at the time of loss, with agreed value and no coinsurance and without deduction for depreciation, against the perils commonly insured under the I.S.O. Broad Coverage and Form and extended coverage insurance with vandalism and malicious mischief endorsements, and also against loss or damage by flood (if located within a 100-year flood zone), tsunami, windstorm, and hurricane. Such policy will not contain a per occurrence deductible greater than $5,000. Such policy or policies will be made payable to Lessor and Lessee, as their interests may appear. Upon occurrence of an insured loss, proceeds of such insurance policies received by Lessee will be applied first to replacement or repair of Lessee’s improvements, trade fixtures, and equipment until they are restored as nearly as may be to their condition prior to the occurrence of the loss, and only then to replacement of Lessee’s business personal property and
358445
Page 13
other contents. Such insurance will also provide business-income with extra-expense coverage in an amount sufficient to cover Lessee’s actual losses sustained due to the necessary suspension of operations for a period of restoration which lasts one year from the time the Leased Sites and Water Systems or business personal property are damaged. Lessee acknowledges and understands that Lessor does not maintain coverage for the items described in this Section.
(c) General Insurance Requirements.
(1) All insurance required to be obtained by Lessee under this Lease will:
(A) be issued by an insurance company approved and authorized to do business in Hawaii with an A. M. Best published rating of not less than “A” - Class VII, and otherwise reasonably approved by Lessor;
(B) include an endorsement providing that such insurance will be written as primary coverage and not contributing and not in excess of any coverage that Lessor, any Affiliate of Lessor, or mortgagee may carry;
(C) include an endorsement providing that the policies will not be canceled, allowed to expire by non-renewal or modified without 30 calendar days written notice to Lessor before the effective date of the proposed cancellation, non-renewal, or modification;
(D) name Lessor, any and all Affiliates, mortgagees, and other lenders and such additional entities as may be specified by Lessor from time to time, as additional insureds thereunder, as their interests will appear; and
(E) at Lessor’s election, also name Lessor’s Mortgagee as loss payee under all Commercial Property Insurance policies, and as an additional insured under all commercial general liability policies of insurance, as its interest may appear.
(2) Before commencement of any development of the Leased Sites and development or construction of the Water Systems, Lessee will deposit with Lessor current certificates of all insurance required to be obtained by Lessee under this Lease in form and content reasonably acceptable to Lessor. Such certificates will name as additional insureds all persons who are required to be named as such in this Lease. At least 10 calendar days before the expiration date of any such policy of insurance, Lessee will deposit with Lessor renewal certificates of insurance. All certificates will contain a provision that the policies will not be canceled, allowed to expire by non-renewal, or modified without 30 calendar days prior notice to Lessor, and the words “endeavor to”, and “but failure to mail such notice will impose no obligation of liability of any kind upon the company, its agents or representatives”, or similar words must not appear in such provision. If requested by Lessor, Lessee will deposit true and complete copies of any or all insurance policies required under this Lease with Lessor.
(3) Lessee acknowledges that inflation may reduce the effective value
358445
Page 14
of coverage, that terms of insurance contracts or endorsements may be revised, that the types of insurance contemplated herein may become unavailable or that other circumstances may arise which affect or threaten to affect the protection to be afforded by the insurance required hereunder. Accordingly, Lessor may from time to time, by written notice to Lessee, to increase the minimum policy limits required in this Lease or to require Lessee to procure and maintain additional forms of insurance to such amounts or coverage as Lessor may reasonably and in good faith determine to be consistent with then-prevailing prudent commercial practice.
(d) Waiver of Subrogation. Lessee hereby waives, on Lessee’s behalf and on behalf of any Lessee’s insurance carriers, any and all rights to recover against Lessor or against the Affiliates of Lessor or against Lessor’s mortgagees, for any loss, damage, injury, or risk whatsoever, including consequential loss or damage, arising from any cause covered by any insurance required to be carried by Lessee under this Lease or by any other insurance actually carried by Lessee. With respect to each policy of insurance carried by Lessee, Lessee will deliver to Lessor on or before the Effective Date either: (a) appropriate provisions from such policy indicating that Lessee has the right to waive on Lessee’s behalf and on behalf of its insurance carrier all of the rights of recovery and subrogation described in this Section, or (b) appropriate waivers of subrogation from such insurance carriers. Lessee will cause all parties affiliated with Lessee or claiming by, under, or through Lessee to similarly waive any and all rights of recovery and deliver to Lessor either appropriate provisions from their insurance policies indicating appropriate waivers of subrogation. The Parties’ respective rights and obligations under this Section will survive expiration of the Term and any termination of this Lease.
13. Assignment and Subleasing.
(a) Except with respect to a Permitted Lease Lien (defined below), Lessee will not assign or Sublease its rights under this Lease without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it will be reasonable for Lessor to consider the safety record, operations ability, and financial condition of the proposed assignee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such consent will be required for an assignment by Lessee to a wholly-owned entity regulated by the Public Utilities Commission, State of Hawaii.
(b) Any assignment, Sublease, or other such transfer without Lessor’s prior written consent will be voidable by Lessor, and, at Lessor’s election, will constitute a default by Lessee hereunder. “Sublease” means any sublease as well as the granting of any licenses, concessions, or any other rights to use or possess any of the Leased Sites or any portion of the Water Systems.
(c) If Lessee is a partnership or limited liability company, a withdrawal or change (voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of Law) of any partner or member owning 20% or more of the partnership or the limited liability company, or the dilution or liquidation of the partnership or limited liability company, will be deemed an assignment of this Lease. If Lessee consists of more than one person, a purported assignment (voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of Law) from any of such persons to any other person or entity will be deemed an assignment of
358445
Page 15
this Lease. If Lessee is a trust, one or more sales or transfers by operation of law or otherwise by which an aggregate of more than 50% of the total beneficial interests of the trust become vested in one or more persons who or which are not beneficiaries thereof, either legally or equitably, as of the date of this Lease or of Lessee’s subsequent acquisition of this Lease by assignment, will be deemed an assignment of this Lease. If Lessee is a corporation, any dissolution, merger, consolidation, or other reorganization of Lessee, or the sale or other transfer of the Controlling Percentage (defined below) of the capital stock of Lessee, or the sale of 51% of the value of the assets of Lessee, will be deemed an assignment of this Lease. If Lessee is a corporation in which stock is publicly held and traded regularly on a recognized stock exchange, the condition that the present stockholders of Lessee retain at least 50% of the voting stock of Lessee will not apply, nor will the provisions relating to the transfer, sale, pledge, or other disposition of corporation stock or voting securities of Lessee apply, but a merger or acquisition of 51% or more of the outstanding stock of any such Lessee will be construed to be an assignment and will require Lessor’s consent. “Controlling Percentage” means the ownership of, and the right to vote, stock possessing at least 51% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Lessee’s capital stock issued, outstanding, and entitled to vote for the election of directors.
(d) Consent by Lessor to one or more assignments or Subleases will not operate as a waiver of Lessor’s rights as to any subsequent assignments and Subleases. Notwithstanding any assignment or Sublease, Lessee will at all times remain fully and primarily responsible and liable for the compliance with and performance of all of Lessee’s Obligations. Lessor will be entitled to reimbursement by Lessee for reasonable fees incurred by Lessor for the processing of any requests for assignment or Sublease by Lessee, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Lessee may pledge and assign Lessee’s rights under this Lease to a lender as for a loan to Lessee (“Permitted Lease Lien”) as long as:
(1) Lessee gives Lessor 20 business days’ prior written notice of proposed Permitted Lease Lien, which notice must include an identification of the proposed new lienholder (“Permitted Lienholder”) and a copy of the proposed Permitted Lease Lien agreement;
(2) Lessor either: (A) gives Lessor’s written consent to such proposed Permitted Lease Lien (which Lender may not unreasonably withhold); or (B) fails to respond in writing to Lessee’s request within 15 business days of receiving Lessee’s written request with an explanation of the reason why Lessor is withholding its consent;
(3) the Permitted Lease Lien is in a form and contains provisions reasonably acceptable to Lessee, and is solely for purposes of securing financing for performing Lessee’s Obligations; and
(4) the Permitted Lienholder is a reputable commercial lender.
14. Condemnation. If during the Term all or any portion of the Leased Sites, Water
358445
Page 16
Systems, or the Agreement Rights are taken or condemned by any authority having the power of eminent domain, then and in every such case the estate and interest of Lessee in any part of the Leased Sites, Water Systems, or Agreement rights so taken or condemned will at once cease and terminate, but this Lease will not terminate as a result. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee will have the right to claim and recover from the condemning authority compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Lessee in its own right on account of any and all damage to its business by reason of any such condemnation.
15. Indemnity. Without limiting any provision of this Lease, to the fullest extent permitted by Laws, Lessee will indemnify, defend (with counsel satisfactory to Lessor), and hold harmless Lessor, its Affiliates (defined below), and any successors to Lessor’s interest in the Leased Sites or Agreement Rights, from and against any and all foreseeable and unforeseeable consequential damages, losses, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation costs, consultant fees, and expert fees), claims, causes of action, demands, obligations, judgments, penalties, fines, or liabilities directly or indirectly relating to or arising from: (a) any negligence or willful misconduct by Lessee or any of Lessee’s Affiliates; (b) any activity undertaken by Lessee or any of Lessee’s Affiliates at the Leased Sites or Wailani Well or otherwise pursuant to this Lease; (c) any remedial or clean-up work undertaken by or for Lessee in connection with Lessee’s or any of Lessee’s Affiliates, or any of their compliance with Laws, including but not limited to those relating to hazardous materials, and (d) any Event of Default or other breach of Lessee’s Obligations. Lessor will have the right but not the obligation to join and participate in, and control, if it so elects, any legal proceedings or actions initiated in connection with Lessee’s or any other party affiliated with Lessee’s activities. Lessee will reimburse any costs or expenses incurred by Lessor for which Lessee is responsible under this Lease or for which Lessee has indemnified Lessor on demand. The Parties’ respective rights and obligations under this Section will survive expiration of the Term and any termination of this Lease. “Affiliates” means a party’s directors, officers, shareholders, managers, members, partners, incorporators, organizers, agents, employees, attorneys, consultants, advisors, lenders, representatives, affiliates, any other person or entity acting by or through a party, and any other person or entity which meets the definition of “affiliated company” or “affiliated person” under The Investment Company Act of 1940.
16. Default and Remedies.
(a) Event of Default. The occurrence of any one more of the following will be an “Event of Default” under this Lease:
(1) Lessee fails to complete construction of the Water Systems in compliance with this Lease by the Completion Deadline.
(2) Lessee fails to pay any amount as and when required by this Lease, and thereafter fails to pay such amount within 30 days after written notice from Lessor (including but not limited to rent and insurance payments).
(3) Lessee fails to timely give any written notice to Lessor of any event or deadline required under Section 8 Notice of Triggers, Deadlines, and Defaults.
358445
Page 17
(4) A Material Default occurs.
(5) Lessee breaches any of Lessee’s other obligations under this Lease and fails to cure such breach within 15 days after Lessor gives Lessee written notice of the same.
(6) Lessee: (A) discontinues business, (B) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (C) applies for or consents to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, or liquidator for all or a substantial part of Lessee’s assets, (D) is adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, (E) files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or files a petition or an answer seeking reorganization or an arrangement with creditors or seeking to take advantage of any other law (whether federal or state) relating to relief for debtors, or admits (by answer, default, or otherwise) the material allegations of any petition filed against Lessee in any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, or other proceedings (whether federal or state) relating to relief for debtors, (F) suffers or permits to continue unstayed and in effect for 30 consecutive days any judgment, decree, or order entered by a court or governmental agency of competent jurisdiction, which (i) assumes control of Lessee, (ii) approves a petition seeking reorganization of Lessee or any other judicial modification of the rights of any of its creditors, or (iii) appoints a receiver, trustee or liquidator for Lessee or for all or a substantial part of any of its business or assets.
(b) Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, which is not cured within any applicable cure period (if any), Lessor will have the right to take any one or more of the following actions:
(1) Terminate this Lease.
(2) Obtain an injunction or specific performance with respect to such breach.
(3) Cure the Event of Default or otherwise perform the breached obligation at Lessee’s cost, even if the Term has expired or this Lease has been terminated. For example and without limiting the foregoing, if Lessee fails to complete construction of the Water Systems as required by this Lease by the Completion Deadline, or fails to timely perform any of Lessee’s other obligations which are required to be performed by the Completion Deadline, or develops or constructs any portion of the Water Systems other than in full compliance with this Lease, Lessor may, during or after the Term, complete or correct the development and construction of the Water Systems and take any other actions necessary or desirable to perform Lessee’s unperformed or incorrectly performed obligations, at Lessee’s cost.
(4) Pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease or available at law or in equity.
(c) Right of Entry; Reimbursement of Costs. Lessee hereby grants Lessor and Lessor’s contractors and agents a right of entry on the Residential Property for purposes of Lessor’s pursuing and performing Lessor’s remedies under this Lease. Lessee will, within 30 days after receiving written notice from Lessor, reimburse and pay Lessor for all costs Lessor incurs related to Lessor’s pursuing or performing Lessor’s remedies, plus applicable general
358445
Page 18
exercise tax. Lessor may require Lessee to pay for expenses Lessor incurs as they are incurred, or monthly, or at any other reasonable interval Lessor wishes from time to time. If Lessee fails to pay such amounts when due, the amounts due will accrue interest at the rate of 10% per year.
(d) Lien on Personal Property. A lien is hereby created and imposed upon all improvements, structures, equipment, machinery, proceeds from any insurance policies, and other personal property of Lessee placed on, or at any time acquired for use in connection with, Lessee’s operations on the Leased Sites or the Water Systems, as well as upon the Agreement Rights and Lessee’s leasehold interests created by this Lease, for the performance of all of the terms of this Lease. This lien is in addition to all other statutory liens and is given as further security for the performance of each and all of the covenants in the Lease contained upon the part of Lessee to be observed, kept, and performed. Lessee will execute, upon request and from time to time, any financing statement or other instrument or writing which Lessor may require in order to perfect the security interests created hereunder. This Lease constitutes a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code, and Lessee authorizes Lessor to file any one or more financing statements Lessor wishes to perfect Lessor’s interests in the security provided by this security agreement. The Parties’ respective rights and obligations under this Section will survive expiration of the Term and any termination of this Lease.
(e) No Waiver. A waiver by Lessor of any particular Event of Default or remedy will not prejudice or limit Lessor’s other remedies for any other, or any subsequent, Event of Default, regardless whether such other or subsequent Event of Default is of the same nature as the first Event of Default. For clarification (and without limiting any remedies otherwise available to Lessor):
(1) Lessor’s accepting rent or other payments from Lessee, attaching a lien on Lessee’s Property, or continuing to recognize Lessee as its tenant after the occurrence of an Event of Default will not be deemed a waiver of Lessor’s right of termination;
(2) No action taken by Lessor to terminate or cancel this Lease or foreclose a lien on Lessee’s property will be deemed a waiver of Lessor’s right to collect and receive rent or other payments that may be or become due and owing by Lessee; and
(3) Receipt and acceptance by Lessor of any amounts tendered by Lessee will not be an accord and satisfaction, constitute an agreement by Lessor that such amounts are the full amounts due, or a waiver of Lessor’s claims for greater amounts.
(f) Remedies Cumulative and Non-Exclusive. All remedies available to Lessor under this Lease or otherwise are cumulative, not exclusive, and will not deprive Lessor of the benefit of any other legal, statutory, or equitable remedies, or other remedies in this Lease provided.
(g) Survival. The Parties’ respective rights and obligations under this Default and Remedies Section will survive expiration of the Term and any termination of this Lease. If any portion of this Default and Remedies Section is held to be unenforceable, such holding will not render the remaining portions of this Section or any other provisions of this Lease
358445
Page 19
unenforceable.
(h) Surrender. If Lessor terminates this Lease as permitted by this Lease, Lessee will deliver, surrender, convey, and assign to Lessor title and possession of the Leased Sites and Water Systems which have not been dedicated to the Water Board as contemplated by this Lease, with only reasonable wear and tear permitted. Unless otherwise directed by Lessor, Lessee will remove all mobile machinery and equipment, and repair all damage to the Leased Sites and Water Systems. Such repairs will be performed in a manner satisfactory to Lessor. If Lessee fails to remove any property which Lessee is required to remove, Lessor may at its option retain such property as abandoned by Lessee and title thereto will thereupon vest in Lessor, or Lessor may remove the same and dispose of it in any manner Lessor deems appropriate or otherwise wishes, and Lessee will, upon demand, pay Lessor the actual expense of such removal and disposition plus the cost of repair of any and all damage to the Leased Sites or Water Systems resulting from or caused by such removal, plus applicable general excise tax. Lessee will not remove any of the Water Systems or any part thereof. Upon termination of this Lease, if any portion of the Leased Sites, Water Systems, or both require any repairs that are the responsibility of Lessee under this Lease, Lessor may make such repairs at Lessee’s sole cost. If Lessee or any party affiliated with Lessee or otherwise claiming by or under Lessee remains in possession of the Leased Sites after termination of this Lease, Lessee will pay to Lessor all damages sustained by Lessor resulting from retention of possession by Lessee or such party. This Section will survive termination of this Lease.
17. Lessor’s Liability. If Lessor fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder within 30 calendar days after written notice from Lessee specifying such failure (or such longer period of time as may be necessary to cure such default so long as Lessor is diligently pursuing such cure to completion), Lessee’s exclusive remedy will be an action for damages. Unless Lessor fails to so cure such default after such notice, Lessee will not have any remedy or cause of action by reason thereof. Liability of Lessor to Lessee for any default by Lessor, will be limited to actual, direct, but not consequential, damages and will be recoverable only from the interest of Lessor in the Leased Sites, and neither Lessor nor any of Lessor’s Affiliates will have any personal liability therefore. The term “Lessor” will mean only the owner or owners of the fee-simple title in the Leased Premises at the time in question. The obligations contained in this Lease to be performed by Lessor will be binding on Bridge Aina Le‘a, LLC and its successors and assigns only during their respective periods of ownership.
18. Estoppel Certificate. Lessee will furnish from time to time when requested by Lessor or any or more of Lessor’s mortgagees a certificate signed by Lessee confirming and containing such factual certifications and representations deemed appropriate by Lessor or any Lessor’s mortgagee, and Lessee will, within 10 calendar days following receipt of such certificate from Lessor, return a fully-executed copy to Lessor. If Lessee fails to return a fully-executed copy by the foregoing deadline, then Lessee will be deemed to have approved and confirmed all of the terms, certifications, and representations contained in the certificate. Lessee hereby irrevocably appoints Lessor as attorney-in-fact for Lessee with full power and authority to execute and deliver in the name of Lessee such certificate if Lessee fails to deliver the same within the foregoing deadline, and such certificate as signed by Lessor will be fully binding on
358445
Page 20
Lessee. In addition to the foregoing, Lessee’s failing to deliver an executed estoppel certificate by the foregoing deadline will constitute an Event of Default.
19. Covenants Run with the Land. The rights and obligations of this Lease constitute and will be enforced as covenants and benefits running with the land and equitable liens and servitudes, and will bind and inure to the Parties’ successors and assigns.
20. Miscellaneous.
(a) Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT WHICH ANY PARTY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING, LITIGATION, OR COUNTERCLAIM BASED ON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY LAWSUIT IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY WILL PRESENT AS A NON-COMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM IN ANY SUCH LAWSUIT ANY CLAIM BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.
(b) Independent Covenants. The parties hereto specifically agree that Lessee’s covenants hereunder are independent of all other covenants and agreements herein contained. The foregoing will not be construed as a waiver of Lessee’s right to assert any such claim in a separate action brought by Lessee against Lessor.
(c) Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with regard to the provisions of this Lease.
(d) Computation of Time. The calculation of any time period provided in this Lease will not include the day on which the time period begins, but will include the last day of the time period.

ROAD/INTERSECTION ESCROW AGREEMENT
This Road/Intersection Escrow Agreement (“Agreement”) is made ____________, 20__ (“Effective Date”) by Aina Le‘a, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Aina Le‘a”), Bridge Aina Le‘a, LLC, a Hawaii limited liability company (“Bridge”), and Old Republic Title & Escrow of Hawaii, Ltd., a Hawaii corporation (“Escrow”).
Bridge owns the real property located on the Island of Hawaii designated as Lot C-1-A, Tax Map Key No. (“TMK”) (3) 6-8-001-025 (“Lot C-1-A/025”) and Lot A-1-A, TMK (3) 6-8-001-040 (“Lot A-1-A/040”).
Immediately preceding the execution and delivery of this Agreement:
(a) | Bridge conveyed the real property located on the Island of Hawaii designated as Lot B-1-A, TMK (3) 6-8-001-038, and Lot D-1-A, TMK (3) 6-8-001-039 (collectively, “Residential Property”) to Aina Le‘a pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement for Residential Property at Aina Le‘a between Aina Le‘a and Bridge dated _______________, 2015 (“PSA”); |
(b) | Aina Le‘a and Bridge granted certain easements to one another pursuant to Easement Grants (as that term is defined in the Easements/Utilities Agreement (defined below)), including but not limited to Easements A-1-A, D-1, and D-2; and |
(c) | Aina Le‘a and Bridge entered into an Agreement Regarding Easements and Utilities dated as of the Effective Date and recorded in the Bureau of Conveyances of the State of Hawaii as Document No. ___________________ (“Easements/Utilities Agreement”). |
The Easements/Utilities Agreement requires, among other things, that Aina Le‘a complete development and construction of a road and intersection at Queen Kaahumanu Highway (“Road/Intersection”) on the areas designated for Easements A-1-A, D-1, and D-2 by the “Road/Intersection Completion Deadline” (as that term is defined in the Easements/Utilities Agreement).
Aina Le‘a, Bridge, and Escrow (collectively, “Parties”) are entering into this Agreement to secure Aina Le‘a’s obligations with respect to the Road/Intersection.
The Parties therefore agree as follows:
1. Road/Intersection Deposit. On the Effective Date, Aina Le‘a will deposit with Escrow $2,000,000.00 USD (“Road/Intersection Deposit”). Escrow will hold the Road/Intersection Deposit in escrow in an interest-bearing account (“Escrow Account”) and will disburse the Road/Intersection Deposit only in accordance with this Agreement. Interest on the Road/Intersection Deposit will remain in the Escrow Account and will be considered a part of the Road/Intersection Deposit. The interest rate paid by the financial
397882

institution will be determined by, based upon, and fluctuate according to the market’s going rate.
2. Construction of Road/Intersection. Aina Le‘a will develop and construct the Road/Intersection as required by the Easements/Utilities Agreement. The Easements/Utilities Agreement is incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement by reference.
3. Disbursement Requests.
(a) Contractor (defined below) or Aina Le‘a may request disbursement from the Escrow Account from time to time to pay for construction work performed and supplies provided for the Road/Intersection by submitting a written request (“Disbursement Request”) for disbursement to Bridge which includes (collectively, “Disbursement-Request Requirements”):
(1) A description of the work performed and supplies provided;
(2) A Certificate of Payment (using a form approved by Bridge) issued and signed by Contractor and the engineer of record for work which certifies that the work for which payment is requested was performed;
(3) Conditional lien waivers duly executed by Contractor and each subcontractor, sub-subcontractor, and material supplier listed on the Certificate for Payment, in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A (with respect to monthly progress payments under the construction contract) or Exhibit B (with respect to final payment under the construction contract); and
(4) Any other documents, certifications, information, reports, or verifications that Bridge may reasonably request from time to time.
(b) Bridge may, in its sole and absolute discretion, (but will have absolutely no obligation to) waive any one or more of the Disbursement-Request Requirements as to any one or more Disbursement Requests. Bridge’s waiving any one or more of the Disbursement-Request Requirements with respect to any one or more Disbursement Requests will not be deemed a waiver of the same requirements for future Disbursement Requests.
(c) “Contractor” means E.M. Rivera and Sons, Inc., a Hawaii corporation, or such other contractor for the Road/Intersection as approved by Bridge in writing from time to time.
4. Disbursements from Escrow. Escrow will make a disbursement from the Escrow Account directly to Contractor or such other person as directed by Bridge from time to time. Escrow will not disburse funds other than as instructed by Bridge. Escrow will disburse such funds from time to time within five Business Days of Bridge’s instructions, or such later dates as Bridge directs. “Business Day” means any day other
397882
Page 2
than Saturday, Sunday, any federal holiday, or any Hawaii state holiday (as defined in Hawaii Revised Statutes § 8-1, as amended or recodified).
5. Bridge Not Liable.
(a) Under no circumstances will Bridge have any liability for any disbursements made under this Agreement except to the extent of Bridge’s willful misconduct. Bridge’s instructing Escrow to disburse funds will not be deemed an approval or acceptance by Bridge of any work performed.
(b) Bridge will have no obligation to verify the accuracy of any statements made or facts asserted in any Disbursement Requests, or the authenticity of any documents or signatures. Bridge will incur no liability regarding forged or false documents or signatures.
6. Escrow Fees. Aina Le‘a will pay all Escrow’s fees related to this Agreement, including but not limited to any fees related to using an interest-bearing account. Escrow’s fees may not be deducted from the Road/Intersection Deposit without Bridge’s prior written consent, which Bridge may withhold, delay, or condition in Bridge’s sole and absolute discretion.
7. Completion of Construction. If any funds are remaining from the Road/Intersection Deposit after construction of the Road/Intersection is complete, and if there are any amounts still owed to Bridge under the PSA, “Promissory Note” (as that term is defined in the PSA), or other “Ancillary Documents” (as that term is defined in the PSA), Escrow will disburse the remaining funds to Bridge as payment for the amounts owed. Any additional amounts remaining after full payment to Bridge of all such amounts owed will be disbursed to Aina Le‘a.
8. Material Default or Failure to Complete by Deadline.
(a) If a “Material Default” (as that term is defined in the PSA) occurs under any of the Ancillary Documents and is not cured within any applicable cure periods (if any), or if Aina Le‘a fails to complete construction of the Road/Intersection by the Road/Intersection Completion Deadline, Escrow will, upon written request from Bridge and without notice or approval from any other party, immediately release the remaining portion of the Road/Intersection Deposit to Bridge to (at Bridge’s option) either be applied to the balance due on the Promissory Note, if any, or for payment of costs to complete development and construction of the Road/Intersection as provided in the Easements/Utilities Agreement (including but not limited to for costs associated with obtaining county approval of a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the Road/Intersection).
(b) Aina Le‘a will immediately reimburse Bridge upon Bridge’s request for any fees or costs Bridge incurs in completing development and construction
397882
Page 3
of the Road/Intersection to the extent such fees or costs exceed remaining funds of the Road/Intersection Deposit.
(c) Bridge’s rights and remedies under this Section 8 are without limitation to any other remedies available to Bridge under the PSA, under any Ancillary Documents, at law, or in equity.
9. Miscellaneous.
(a) Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT WHICH ANY PARTY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING, LITIGATION, OR COUNTERCLAIM BASED ON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY LAWSUIT IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY WILL PRESENT AS A NON-COMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM IN ANY SUCH LAWSUIT ANY CLAIM BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.
(b) Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence with regard to the provisions of this Agreement.
(c) Computation of Time. The calculation of any time period provided in this Agreement will not include the day on which the time period begins, but will include the last day of the time period.

(e) Headings. All Section headings in this Agreement are for convenience only. They are not a part of this Agreement and do not define, limit, extend, or describe the scope or intent of any provisions. Except as otherwise provided, references to “Sections” are to Sections of this Agreement.
397882
Page 5
(f) Definitions. The bolding, capitalizing of initial letters, and enclosing of a word or phrase in quotation marks in this Agreement means that word or phrase is defined by the surrounding text, as suggested by the context (each a “Defined Term”). Unless otherwise stated or logically required by the context, each use of a Defined Term with capitalized initial letters but without bolding and quotation marks incorporates the corresponding definition. An uncapitalized word or phrase is not a Defined Term and retains its common or legal term-of-art meaning, as applicable, notwithstanding that the word or phrase may contain the same text as a Defined Term.
(g) Pronouns and Plurals. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun used in this Agreement includes the corresponding masculine, feminine, or neuter forms. The singular form of Defined Terms, nouns, pronouns, and verbs include the plural, and vice versa.
(h) Further Action. The Parties will execute and deliver all documents, provide all information, and take or refrain from taking action as may be necessary or appropriate to achieve the purposes of this Agreement.
(i) Assignment and Delegation. Neither Aina Le‘a nor Escrow may assign this Agreement, delegate any duty under this Agreement, or assign any right under this Agreement, and any attempt to do so will be void.
(j) Binding Effect. This Agreement binds and inures to the benefit of the Parties and their successors, legal representatives, and permitted assignees.
(k) Integration of Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the final, entire agreement among the Parties pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings pertaining to this Agreement. All recitals (i.e., the background information provided after the opening paragraph of this Agreement), Exhibits, and Schedules (if any) referenced in this Agreement are a part of this Agreement.
(l) Waiver. A failure by Bridge to require strict performance of any provision of this Agreement, or to exercise any right or remedy arising because of a breach, is not a waiver of such breach or any other covenant, duty, agreement, or condition. Any extension or waiver by Bridge of any provision in this Agreement will be valid only if set forth in a writing signed by Bridge.
(m) Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a written instrument executed by all of the Parties who would be affected by the amendment.
(n) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality, and enforceability of such provision in every other respect and the remaining provisions
397882
Page 6
of this Agreement will not, at the election of the Party for whose benefit the provision exists, be in any way impaired.
(o) Applicable Law. The Parties intend for this Agreement to be governed by and interpreted according to the internal laws of the State of Hawaii, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law.
(p) Disputes. The Parties will bring all actions in law, equity, or otherwise arising under this Agreement, or related to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, exclusively in the federal or state courts of Hawaii, and in no other jurisdiction or venue. Each Party consents to the jurisdiction of such courts.
(q) Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. If any Party institutes a lawsuit of any nature in connection with any controversy arising out of this Agreement, or to interpret or enforce any rights under this Agreement, the prevailing Party may recover all expenses it incurs in enforcing this Agreement, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and costs. Any judgment or order entered in such lawsuit will contain a specific provision providing for the recovery of attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in enforcing such judgment and an award of prejudgment interest from the date of the breach at the maximum rate of interest allowed by law. The prevailing Party will be determined by the court based on an assessment of which Party’s major arguments made or positions taken in the proceedings could fairly be said to have prevailed over the other Party’s major arguments or positions on major disputed issues.
(r) Further Representation. Each Party acknowledges and represents that it (1) was represented by its own legal counsel in the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, (2) had the opportunity to seek advice regarding its legal rights from such counsel, and (3) is not relying on any representation or statement made by any other Party or any other Party’s legal counsel in entering into this Agreement.
(s) Drafting. This Agreement is the result of negotiation between sophisticated parties. No provision of this Agreement may be interpreted for or against any Party on the basis that it drafted such provision, and no presumption or burden of proof may arise disfavoring or favoring any Party because of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
(t) Waiver. Except as otherwise expressly and explicitly provided in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the Parties under this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Any waiver of the terms, conditions, or provisions of this Agreement or a Party’s rights or remedies under this Agreement must be in writing to be effective and will be limited to the instance for which such waiver was issued unless expressed otherwise in writing signed by the Party providing the waiver. Failure, neglect, or delay by a Party to enforce the terms, conditions, or provisions of this Agreement or such Party’s rights or remedies at any time will not be construed as a waiver of such Party’s rights under this Agreement and will not in any way affect the validity of the whole or any part of this Agreement or prejudice such Party’s right to take any
397882
Page 7
subsequent action. No exercise or enforcement by any Party of that Party’s rights or remedies under this Agreement will preclude the enforcement by such Party of any of its other rights or remedies that are available under this Agreement or by law.
(u) Counterparts. The Parties and their signatories may separately execute this Agreement in counterparts, all of which together will be an agreement binding on all the Parties, notwithstanding that all Parties and signatories did not sign the original or the same counterpart. Signature pages may be delivered personally or by facsimile, email, or certified or registered mail.
