2.3 Payment of Purchase Price.
(a) Closing Payment. The Closing Payment shall be paid by Developer into Escrow prior to Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with wiring instructions to be provided by the Escrow Holder.
(b) Percentage Payments. Except as provided in Section 2.3(d) below, and only with regard to initial sales to ultimate users (and not on resales by such ultimate users), Developer will make payments to Seller from any and all gross proceeds generated from sales of lots from the Increment 1 Real Property (the Percentage Payments) as follows:
(i) Increment 1: Single-Family Lots. Seller will receive 9% of the gross proceeds generated from the sale by Developer of all single-family lots in Increment 1 of the Real Property. Gross proceeds for purposes of Section 2.3(b)(i) shall mean the actual and full consideration paid by the purchaser for the Unit, being the amount subject to the conveyance tax imposed by HRS §247-2. Notwithstanding the above, if and when the aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of single-family lots in Increment 1 exceed $100,000,000.00, Seller will receive the following percentages of such aggregate gross proceeds:
Aggregate Gross Proceeds |
| Percentage Payment |

More than $100,000,000 but less than |
| 10 | % |
|
|
|
|
More than $300,000,000 |
| 14 | % |
(ii) Single Family Lots Only/Club Memberships. Unless Seller and Developer are able to agree in advance on how the sales proceeds will be allocated between an Increment 1 single family lot and a residence to be constructed by Developer on it, all sales from Increment 1 shall be sales of single family lots sold without a residence. Developer agrees to offer all purchasers of single family lots in Increment 1 the option to apply for (a) a membership in the Lot 4A Beach Club ensuring the purchaser the right of full use of the Beach Clubs facilities, subject to the membership rules, rates and regulations then in effect, as they may be amended from time to time, and (b) a membership in the Kukio Golf and Beach Club on the terms and conditions set forth in that certain Kukio Agreement referenced in Section 14 of Article IV of the Lot 4A Lease. Developer agrees to construct or bond to completion Phase I of
4
the Lot 4A Beach Club according to the timetable to be set forth in Section 11.b. of Article IV of the Lot 4A Lease.
(iii) Payment Procedure. Developer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Seller written notice of each Unit sale not less than five (5) business days prior to its closing and, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.3(d) below, shall instruct the escrow for each such sale to pay the Percentage Payment directly to Seller at closing. If Developer provides purchase money financing to the purchaser of a Unit, then Developer may either, at Developers option, (1) pay all of the applicable Percentage Payment for such Unit at closing of the sale, or (2) pay to Seller the Percentage Payment with respect to the cash portion of the purchase price received by Developer from the purchaser at the closing and pay to Seller the Percentage Payment with respect to the sales price financed and the interest thereon paid by the purchaser within 10 days after Developers receipt of payment from the purchaser. For example, assume that Developer sells a Unit for the price of $5,000,000.00 by providing $2,000,000.00 in purchase money financing to the Unit purchaser payable pursuant to the terms of a promissory note, and that one year after the sale closes receives payment of $1,000,000.00 plus $180,000.00 in interest pursuant to the promissory note. In such case, (i) upon the initial closing, Developer shall pay to Seller the Percentage Payment based on the $3,000,000.00 received by Developer at closing, (ii) within 10 days after receiving the $1,180,000.00 payment of principal and interest, Developer shall make the Percentage Payment applicable to the $1,180,000.00, and (iii) within 10 days after receiving subsequent payments under the promissory note, the applicable Percentage Payment shall be made to Seller. Developer shall promptly provide Seller with copies of any note, mortgage or other document used by Developer to finance the purchase of any Unit, and any amendments thereto. Developer shall also provide Seller with copies of the monthly loan statements issued to each purchaser/mortgagor financed by Developer or with a separate statement containing the same or substantially the same information with respect to each loan. For the purpose of determining whether the aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of Units in Increment 1 have exceeded the $100,000,000.00 or $300,000,000.00 thresholds under Section 2.3(b)(i), such gross proceeds shall include the financed portion of each sale, i.e. the principal amount loaned, but not any interest thereon, at such time(s) as such portion is collected by Developer.
(iv) Release of Units. Seller shall provide an executed partial release in recordable form releasing all of its interest in a particular Unit in connection with the closing of each sale to an ultimate user within five (5) business days of Developers request therefor. To avoid any situation where the closing of a sale of a Unit cannot occur due to Sellers untimely execution of the partial release mentioned above, and within five (5) business days of Developers written request therefor, Seller shall execute and deposit with the escrow designated by Developer partial releases with respect to any Unit sale which Developer anticipates closing within sixty (60) days of the request, together with instructions authorizing escrow to release the Units from Sellers interest at closing, conditioned on payment to Seller at closing of the applicable Percentage Payment from the sale of the Unit.
5
(c) Bona Fide Sales. All sales of Units to ultimate users and all other sales of Units with respect to which Seller is entitled to receive any Percentage Payment, shall be for a fair market value or bona fide sales negotiated in good faith at arms length.
(d) Minimum Payments. If prior to December 31, 2005, Developer has not made payments of Percentage Payments to Seller pursuant to Section 2.3(b) above equal to or greater than $2,500,000.00 in the aggregate, then Developer shall pay to Seller the amount by which the aggregate amount of all prior Percentage Payments made by Developer to Seller under Section 2.3(b) is less than $2,500,000.00. If prior to December 31, 2006, Developer has not made payments of Percentage Payments, including payments required under this Section 2.3(d) in lieu of Percentage Payments, in an amount equal to or greater than $5,000,000.00 in the aggregate, then Developer shall pay to Seller the amount by which the aggregate amount of all such payments is less than $5,000,000.00. Any additional payments made by Developer under this Section 2.3(d) shall be credited against Developers obligation to make Percentage Payments with respect to the subsequent sale of Units.
(e) Reimbursement. If Developer makes any Percentage Payment to Seller with respect to a Unit sale which is subsequently rescinded or modified, and if Developer refunds all or part of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Unit on which the Percentage Payment to Seller was based to the purchaser of the Unit, then Seller will promptly repay such Percentage Payment, or portion thereof allocable to the gross proceeds returned to the Unit purchaser, to Developer.
(f) No Payments for Non-Residential Areas in Increment 1. Except as set forth above, no other payments shall be due to Seller for purchase of the Increment 1 Property. No additional payments shall be payable to Seller with respect to the Beach Club, roadways, Coastal Planning Area Subzones, open spaces, and other non-residential areas.
2.4 Memorandum of Agreement. Seller and Developer shall execute and deliver to the Escrow Holder at Closing a Memorandum of Agreement providing notice of Sellers Retained Rights and in the form and substance of Exhibit D attached hereto (the Memorandum), which Memorandum shall be recorded in the Bureau of Conveyances of the State of Hawaii (the Bureau of Conveyances) at the Closing and shall encumber the Real Property.
2.5 Interim Payments. Developer shall pay to Seller $50,000.00 per month (each such payment is hereinafter referred to as an Interim Payment and collectively as the Interim Payments), with the first Interim Payment having been paid on or about March 1, 2003, with subsequent Interim Payments having been paid on or about the first day of each calendar month thereafter, and with Interim Payments continuing until the date of termination of payment described below. Payment of the Interim Payments shall terminate on the first to occur of the following:
(a) the termination of this Agreement prior to Closing;
6
(b) if all or substantially all of the Increment 1 Property shall be taken by condemnation;
(c) the date of the closing of the final sale of fifty percent (50%) or more of the single family lots in Increment 1 to ultimate users; and
(d) Developers payment to Seller of Interim Payments in the aggregate amount of $1,500,000.00 (including Interim Payments made by Developer under its February 27, 2003 letter agreement with Seller).
Developer and Seller confirm and agree that as of the date of this Agreement, Developer has paid Seller Interim Payments in the aggregate amount of $550,000.00 which aggregate amount includes the Interim Payment due January 1, 2004.

Seller hereby approves the grading plan attached to the Lot 4A Lease. Developer shall notify Seller prior to commencing excavation of the Excavation Parcels and shall meet with Seller to discuss the locations, sequencing and methods of excavation. The foregoing right to excavate shall terminate on the Excavation Termination Date as such term is defined in Section 5 of Article V of the Lot 4A Lease, as such date may be extended in accordance with said Section 5, whereupon Developer shall remove all debris and improvements then located on the Excavation Parcels and shall stabilize all graded areas in accordance with County standards and industry practice in order to avoid runoff and slope failure.

Upon the earliest to occur of (i) through (iii), above, all accrued but unpaid Percentage Payments and Minimum Payments will be promptly paid by Developer to Seller. So long as Seller is fully cooperating with Developer and is making reasonably diligent efforts to obtain the above-described grants of access and utility easements, Seller shall not be deemed to be in default in performing its obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 11.8 shall affect Developers obligation to pay the Interim Payments described in Section 2.5 above.

In the event that the Increment 2 Property is reconveyed to Seller pursuant to the Reconveyance, Seller shall reimburse Developer for an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of all real property taxes and special assessments attributable to the Increment 2 Property previously paid by Developer, but Seller shall not reimburse any portion of Developers cost of effecting the Subsequent Subdivision.
(b) Improvement of Increment 2. Developer may improve or develop the Increment 2 Property in whatever manner Developer deems useful or necessary to the development of the Increment 1 Property, provided the same is conducted in compliance with the Lot 4A Lease and the Concept Plan.
25
(c) Increment 2 Property Agreement. Seller and Developer, or an assignee or other successor of Developer approved by Seller or an Affiliate of Developer to whom Developer has assigned or intends to assign its rights and obligations with respect to the Increment 2 Property (Developers Assignee), shall use diligent efforts to negotiate, and attempt to document and enter into, prior to the date which is three (3) years following the closing of the sale of the first single family lot in Increment 1 (the Deadline), an agreement with regards to the ownership and development of Increment 2 (the Increment 2 Property Agreement). Developer, however, may terminate such negotiations at any time without any further obligation under this Section 12.1(c). Such termination, however, will not eliminate Developers obligation to continue to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain final approval of the Preliminary Subdivision Map from the Countys Planning Department. The Increment 2 Property Agreement shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Seller and Developer in their respective sole and absolute discretion and shall provide for, without limitation, the following:
(i) that Seller and Developer shall form a Delaware limited liability company (Company);
(ii) that Seller and Developer shall enter into a limited liability company operating agreement for the Company in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller and Developer setting forth the terms regarding the ownership of the Increment 2 Property;
(iii) the contribution (Contribution) of the Increment 2 Property to the Company by Developer and Seller, and the terms thereof, including, without limitation, the deemed value of Developers and Sellers contributions;
(iv) that any conveyance by Developer of the Increment 2 Property shall be without representations or warranties from Developer regarding such conveyance; and
(v) such other terms and conditions as may be agreed to by Seller and Developer.
12.2 Reconveyance as to Increment 2. If Seller and Developer are unable to enter into the Increment 2 Property Agreement prior to the Deadline, then Developer shall surrender the Lot 4A Lease with respect to Increment 2 to KS for transfer to and reinstatement under the KD Lease, all pursuant to Section 3.d. of Article I of the Lot 4A Lease, subject only to: (i) items of record shown on the Title Report, (ii) matters affecting title to Lot 4A as of the day prior to the Closing Date, (iii) such other reasonable covenants, conditions, easements and other reservations as may be appropriate for the development, use and operation of the Increment 1 Property in a manner substantially consistent with the Lot 4A Lease and the Concept Plan (and provided that the same have no material adverse impact on the Increment 2 Property except as contemplated by the Lot 4A Lease or the Concept Plan), but not including any mortgage or other monetary lien, and (iv) to such other encumbrances as may have been consented to by Seller in writing (the Reconveyance). Developer also may elect to make the Reconveyance at any time after the
26
Subsequent Subdivision is completed in the event that Developer elects to terminate negotiation of the Increment 2 Property Agreement. Upon such Reconveyance, and subject to compliance with Section 12.3 below, Seller shall accept leasehold title to the Increment 2 Property, and neither party shall have any further obligation to the other with respect to any joint development of the Increment 2 Property or any other obligation with respect to the Increment 2 Property except as specifically described herein or in any other written agreement between or among the parties.
12.3 Transfers by Developer in the Event No Increment 2 Property Agreement. In connection with the Reconveyance, Developer shall make the following grants, assignments and transfers to Seller, subject to obtaining any consents required of third parties, which Developer shall use its commercially reasonable diligent efforts to obtain:
(a) Subject to the provisions contained in Section 12.2 above, Developer shall reconvey to Seller the Increment 2 Real Property and such portion of the Intangible Property as may be necessary or useful in connection with the ownership, further improvement and operation of such Real Property by Seller, reserving to Developer, however, any Intangible Property reasonably necessary or useful in connection with the ownership, further improvement and operation of Increment 1 and which cannot be re-assigned to Seller without material adverse impact to Developers rights with respect to Increment 1.
(b) Developer shall reassign to Seller, from the remaining rights to water under the Water Agreement which were assigned to Developer all rights that are in excess of the amounts reasonably required for Increment 1. To protect Sellers Retained Rights with respect to potable water, Developer covenants and agrees (1) to use the assigned water only on Lot 4A and not to export any such water for use on any other lands, and (2) to utilize non-potable water for non-residential areas if available at reasonable costs and where reasonably recommended by Developers consultant.
(c) Developer agrees to grant to Seller, in favor of each residential unit to be developed on Increment 2 and Lot 4C, easements for roadway and utility access over, across, in and under the roadways and utility corridors established or planned by Developer to service Increment 1, including the right to use such easements without charge or cost other than reasonable user fees or charges which are imposed upon other users of such easements, subject to the following conditions:
(i) Sellers rights with respect to easements shall be limited to the Sellers right to install and use utility conduits in the roadways and corridors, and a right to connect to and use existing conduits and roadways;
(ii) Sellers right to connect to existing conduits shall not be a deemed a commitment by Developer to provide the utility services using or relating to the conduits, such as electricity, water, or sewage treatment;
27
(iii) such easements and the use thereof by occupants of Lot 4C shall not materially and adversely affect or interfere with the use, development, occupancy or enjoyment of Lot 4A by the occupants of Lot 4A and their respective invitees.
In connection with the grant of easements contemplated herein, Seller shall, if requested by Developer, grant to the occupants of Lot 4A reciprocal easement rights for roadway and utility access, over, across, in and under the roadways and utility corridors planned by Seller to service Lot 4C subject to substantially the same conditions as are applicable to the easements affecting Lot 4A contemplated in this subparagraph (c).
(d) Developer agrees to grant to Seller, in favor of each Residential Unit to be developed on Increment 2, but subject to the membership rules, rates and regulations then in effect, as they may be amended from time to time, the same rights granted to the purchasers from Developer of other Residential Units in Increment 1 to join and use the facilities of the Lot 4A Beach Club.
(e) Developer agrees to grant Seller or the developer of Increment 2 a right of entry to enable construction of the Phase II Beach Club provided, however, that such construction shall not unreasonably interfere with Developers use and operation of the Phase I Beach Club or Lot 4A. Seller agrees to negotiate in good faith with Developer regarding the measures to be taken by Seller to ensure the least practicable disruption of the operations of the Phase I Beach Club.
(f) Developer agrees to complete construction of the Core Improvements as that term is defined in subparagraph 1.e. of Article I of the Lot 4A Lease within the deadlines fixed by Sections 11b., c. and e. of Article IV of the Lot 4A Lease as such deadlines may be extended pursuant to the provisions of the Lot 4A Lease.
The Memorandum shall provide that Seller shall have the right to specifically enforce the Reconveyance as well as each of the above grants and assignments from Developer to Seller. The term Developer as used in Sections 12.1, 12.2 and 12.3 of this Agreement shall refer to Developer or Developers Assignee, as the case may be.

13.3 Successors and Assigns. Except as specifically stated otherwise in this Agreement, this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither Seller nor Developer may assign its interest under this Agreement or otherwise encumber or transfer the same whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior reasonable written consent of the other. Seller may reasonably withhold its consent to any assignee of Sellers interest in the Lot 4A Lease proposed by Developer whose qualifications, experience, capabilities, track record and financial strength are not reasonably comparable to those possessed by Developer. Notwithstanding the above, Developer may assign this Agreement (and the Lot 4A Lease) to any assignee described in Section 23.a.i. and ii. or Section 23.b. of Article IV of the Lot 4A Lease with not less than fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Seller and to any other assignee, with the consent of KD, not to be unreasonably withheld, provided such assignee satisfies or is deemed to satisfy the Qualifications, as such term is defined in said Section 23, in KDs reasonable determination, provided, further, that such prior written notice or consent shall not be required in connection with an assignment to Farallon Enclave, LLC or its successors and assigns in connection with an exercise of its remedies as leasehold mortgagee. Developer shall not be required to pay any premium, additional rent or other consideration in connection with obtaining any consent required of KD hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, KDs consent to any assignment by Developer or its successors and assigns of any Beach Club or Restricted Parcel lease shall not be required.

If this Agreement or any of Developers rights hereunder are assigned or otherwise made available in whole or in part to a person or entity (an Assignee) as permitted by Section 13.3, Seller agrees to amend this Agreement to make such changes hereto as may be requested by such Assignee in good faith, provided that such changes shall not affect the Purchase Price or other economic aspects of the transaction contemplated hereby.

13.9 Specific Performance. The parties understand and agree that the Property is unique and for that reason, among others, Developer will be irreparably damaged in the event that this Agreement is not specifically enforced. Accordingly, in the event of any breach or default in or of this Agreement or any of the warranties, terms or provisions hereof by Seller, Developer shall have, in addition to a claim for damages for such breach or default, and in addition and without prejudice to any right or remedy available at law or in equity, the right to demand and have specific performance of this Agreement.
