ARTICLE II
TERM

2.1           Term.  The term of this lease shall commence on September 1, 2010 (the "commencement date") and shall expire on August 31, 2020.  If Lessor, for any reason other than the negligence or willful misconduct of Lessee, cannot deliver access to the premises to Lessee on or before the commencement date, this lease shall not be void or voidable, and Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for any loss or damage resulting from Lessor's failure to deliver the premises to Lessee.  However, during such period of non-delivery, the rent (i.e., monthly base rent and additional rent) payable under this lease shall be abated until Lessor offers occupancy of the premises to Lessee.

2.2           Option to Extend the Term.  Lessee shall have two (2) options to extend the term of this lease for five (5) years each by giving Lessor written notice of such extension on or before one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the term of this lease.  Such extensions shall be upon the same terms and conditions of this lease, excepting for this option and the monthly base rent.  Monthly base rent for each extension of the term shall be as provided in Section 3.1(b) below.

ARTICLE III
RENT; SECURITY DEPOSIT

3.1           Monthly Base Rent.

(a)           Commencing on the commencement date and for each and every calendar month during the term, Lessee shall pay to the Lessor, on or before the first (1st) day of each month, in advance, at Lessor's address, the monthly base rent set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto.  The monthly base rent, additional rent, security deposit and all other sums payable under this lease to Lessor by Lessee, which security deposit and other sums shall constitute additional rent hereunder, are collectively referred to herein as the "rent."

(b)           If Lessee exercises its right to extend the initial term of this lease, the monthly base rent for each extension period shall be an amount equal to the then-fair market rental value of the premises as the parties may agree by the end of the term of this lease or, if the parties fail to agree as to the then-fair market rental value of the premises, an amount equal to the then-fair market rental value of the premises as may be established by arbitration.  If arbitration shall be required to determine the then-fair market rental value of the premises as required in this Section 3.1(b), such arbitration shall be by three (3) arbitrators who shall be recognized real estate appraisers.  Each party shall name an arbitrator and notify the other in writing and, in case of the failure of either to appoint an arbitrator within ten (10) days after notification of appointment of an arbitrator, the party appointing the first arbitrator may apply to the Circuit Court of the Third Circuit, State of Hawaii, for the appointment of a second arbitrator; the two (2) arbitrators shall appoint a third arbitrator and, in case of their failure to do so within ten (10) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator, either party may have such third arbitrator appointed by the Court.  The three (3) arbitrators so appointed shall proceed to determine the then-fair market rental value of the premises and the decision of a majority of them shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties.  If such arbitration shall be required, the "then-fair market rental value of the premises" shall exclude all improvements constructed or installed in the premises by the Lessee and all trade furnishings or fixtures which Lessee has the right to remove at the end of the term, if any, and shall mean what a landlord under no compulsion to lease the premises, and a tenant under no compulsion to lease the premises, would determine as the monthly base rent (including the monthly base rent increases during the extension period) for the extension period, as of the commencement of the extension period, taking into consideration the uses permitted under this lease, the characteristics, location and quality of the Property, the quality, size, construction, design, and location of the premises, and the monthly base rent for comparable premises located in the vicinity of the Property, provided, however, that (i) the monthly base rent per month for the first month of each extension period shall not be less than one hundred three percent (103%) of the monthly base rent per month due and payable by Lessee for the calendar month immediately preceding the commencement of such extension period and (ii) the monthly base rent for each succeeding year of each extension period shall be increased by not less than three percent (3%) of the monthly base rent per month due and payable by Lessee for the calendar month immediately preceding the commencement of such succeeding year.

(c)           The monthly base rent, additional rent, security deposit and all other sums payable under this lease to Lessor by Lessee, which security deposit and other sums shall constitute additional rent hereunder, are collectively referred to herein as the "rent."

(d)           Except as may otherwise be specifically provided in this lease, the amount of the monthly base rent set forth above is a negotiated figure and shall govern whether or not the actual square footage of the premises is the same as the square footage set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto.  Lessee shall have no right to withhold, deduct or offset any amount from the monthly base rent or additional rent even if the actual square footage of the premises is less than the square footage set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto.  In addition, the square footage figure set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto shall serve as the base figure in determining the prorata rent reduction/abatement in the event of damage, condemnation or other circumstance requiring such reduction, abatement or other adjustment of rent, notwithstanding that the square footage set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto shall be more or less than the actual square footage of the premises.

3.2           Additional Rent.

(a)           In addition to the monthly base rent, commencing on the commencement date, Lessee agrees to monthly pay, as additional rent, a forty-four and 07/100 percent (44.7%) share of all Property maintenance and operating expenses as hereinafter defined.  Lessee shall have no right to withhold, deduct or offset any amount from the additional rent even if the actual square footage of the premises is less than the approximate square footage of the premises set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto.

(b)           Lessee's percentage share of the Property maintenance and operating expenses set forth above is based upon the Lessee's percentage of the Property's maintenance and operating expenses as of the commencement date.  The maintenance and operating expenses for the Property shall be computed on an annual basis, at the beginning of each calendar year, and, to the extent such expenses are not fixed or known in advance, shall be estimated by the Lessor for the ensuing year.  Lessee shall pay such expenses, as additional rent, throughout the calendar year, in advance, with the monthly base rent, subject to reconciliation and adjustment as provided below.  Lessor shall notify Lessee of Lessee's share of the expenses for the coming calendar year as soon as reasonably possible after the beginning of each year.  In the event Lessee's lease term shall commence or end at any other time than the beginning or end of a calendar year, the Lessee's additional rent shall be adjusted prorata for such shortened period.  Lessor shall have the right, in the event of unusual or extraordinary maintenance and operating expenses, to assess and collect, as additional rent, either as a one time or continuing charge, additional sums under this Section 3.2 to pay such expenses without affecting the Lessee's liability for the monthly sums hereinabove described.

(d)           A statement of Property maintenance and operating expenses shall be provided annually to Lessee within one hundred twenty (120) days of each calendar year end.  If the maintenance and operating expenses according to such statement shall differ from the expenses estimated by Lessor as provided above, the expenses according to such statement shall be deemed correct and an appropriate adjustment shall be made in the additional rent by prompt payment by Lessee of any deficiency or, in the event of an excess, an adjustment of additional rent thereafter due to Lessor to provide Lessee with reimbursement over a period of time not to exceed twelve (12) months.  Notwithstanding the preceding, however, Lessor's failure to provide Lessee with a statement of the Property maintenance and operating expenses by the date provided above shall in no way excuse Lessee from its obligation to pay its pro rata share of the Property maintenance and operating expenses or constitute a waiver of Lessor's right to bill and collect such pro rata share of the Property maintenance and operating expenses from Lessee as provided in this Section 3.2.

(ii)           Contain no provision relieving the insurer from liability for loss occurring while the hazard to any buildings is increased, whether or not within the knowledge or control of the Lessor or the Lessee or because of any breach of warranty or condition or any other act or neglect by the Lessor or the Lessee or any tenant or any other persons under either of them;

(e)           Contain a standard mortgagee clause.

The insurance required by this lease may be effected by a policy or policies of blanket insurance which may cover other properties or locations not constituting a part of the premises or located thereon, provided that (i) evidence of the underlying policy satisfactory to the Lessor shall be deposited with the Lessor and (ii) upon written request of the Lessor, such blanket policy shall irrevocably allocate to the premises (both realty and personalty severally) as the first payable loss under such policy the specific amount of coverage required to be carried by the Lessee under this lease.

9.5           Payment of Premiums and Delivery Of Policies.  The Lessee shall pay all premiums and all fees and expenses for the insurance required herein when due and will deliver true and correct copies of all policies or certificates of insurance together with evidence of payment of the premiums, to the Lessor within ten days after the commencement of the term and thereafter deliver replacement policies or renewals not less than twenty days prior to the expiration dates of expiring policies.  If the Lessee defaults in insuring the premises or in delivering the policies (or certificates), the Lessor, at its option but without being so obligated, may effect such insurance from year to year and pay the premiums, and the Lessee will reimburse the Lessor on demand for any premiums so paid with interest from the time of payment at the rate of one percent per month.  The Lessor shall not be responsible for such insurance or for the collection of any insurance proceeds or for the insolvency of any insurer or insurance underwriter.

9.7           Review of Coverage.  The adequacy of the coverage afforded by the insurance shall be subject to review such that if that a prudent businessman in Hawaii operating a business similar to that operated by the Lessee on the premises would increase the limits of liability or hazard insurance coverage or would insure the property against additional perils when such insurance is available in Hawaii, the Lessee shall forthwith increase such coverage and/or provide insurance against such additional perils.

9.8           Waiver of Recovery.  Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee nor to any insurance company (by way of subrogation or otherwise) insuring the Lessee for any loss or damage to any building, structure or tangible personal property, or any resulting losses under worker's compensation laws and benefits, even though such loss or damage may have been caused by the negligence of Lessor or Lessor's authorized representatives if any such loss or damage is covered by insurance benefitting Lessor or if Lessee was required to obtain insurance by this lease to cover such loss or damage.  Lessee shall cause each insurance policy obtained by it to provide that the insurance company waives all right of recovery by way of subrogation against Lessor in connection with any damage covered by any policy.

Except in those cases where damage or destruction to the Premises shall have been caused by the fault of the Lessee, the base rent shall be abated proportionately during any period during which, by reason of any damage or destruction, there is a substantial interference with the operation of the business of Lessee in the premises, and such abatement shall continue for the period commencing with such destruction or damage and ending with the completion by the Lessor of such work of repair and/or reconstruction as Lessor has elected to do.  Nothing in this Section 10.1 shall be construed to abate or diminish additional rent or abate base rent where interference with the operation of the Lessee's business shall have been a result of the Lessee's acts, omissions or other fault.

19

 

12.5         Absolute Assignment of Sublease Rents.  Lessee hereby absolutely assigns and transfers to Lessor all rents and other sums due and payable to Lessee under all subleases of the Premises or any portion thereof; provided that, until the occurrence of any default as described in Section 13.1 below, Lessee may receive and hold such rents.  Upon the occurrence of such default, Lessor shall have the immediate right, with or without terminating this Lease, to receive and collect all rents and profits due or accrued or to become due under said subleases, and said rents and profits are hereby assigned to Lessor, and Lessor is hereby irrevocably appointed the attorney-in-fact of Lessee with power in the name of Lessee or Lessor, to demand, sue for, collect, recover and receive all such rents and profits, to compromise and settle claims of rents or profits upon such terms and conditions as may seem proper, and to enter into, renew or terminate leases or tenancies, and to apply any rents and profits collected to the payment of all amounts due to Lessor under this Lease, and any such application shall in all respects be binding upon Lessee for all purposes.  Each and every sublease of the Premises or any portion thereof shall expressly provide that the sublessee shall, upon receipt of written notice from Lessor of Lessee's default under this Lease, tender and pay to Lessor all rents and other sums then due and owing to the sublessor under such sublease and shall continue to pay such sums to Lessor as and when due as if Lessor were the sublessor under the sublease, and Lessee hereby acknowledges and agrees that a sublessee's payment of any amounts under this Section 12.5 shall discharge such sublessee's payment obligations under the sublease to the same amount, and any contractual provisions to the contrary shall be null and void as between such sublessee and Lessee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree that any amounts collected by Lessor under this Section 12.5 in excess of amounts owed by Lessee under this Lease at the time of such collection shall be held by Lessor in trust for the benefit of Lessee and Lessor shall pay over such excess amounts to Lessee upon satisfaction of all of Lessee's then outstanding debts and obligations to Lessor under this Lease.

12.7         Assignment by Lessor.  If Lessor transfers or assigns its interest in this lease or in the Property to any person, Lessor shall thereby be released from any further obligations arising from and after the date of the assignment hereunder, and Lessee agrees to look solely to such successor-in-interest of Lessor for performance of such obligations.  If any security given by Lessee to secure the performance of Lessee's obligations hereunder is assigned or transferred by Lessor to any such successor-in-interest, then Lessor shall thereby be discharged of any further obligation relating thereto.  For the purposes of this Section, any holder of a mortgage that affects the premises or the Property at any time will be a successor-in-interest to Lessor as to the premises and the Property when it succeeds to the interest of the Lessor or any successor-in-interest, whether by voluntary sale, assignment or transfer or by way of foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or dispossession of Lessor.  Lessee agrees to attorn to the assignee, transferee, or purchaser of Lessor's interest from and after the date of notice to Lessee of any such assignment, transfer or sale, in the same manner and with the same force and effect as though this lease were made, in the first instance, by and between Lessee and such assignee, transferee or purchaser.  If any proceedings are instituted for foreclosure, or in the event of the exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage made by Lessor covering the premises or the Property, Lessee shall, upon such mortgagee's request, attorn to the transferee or successor-in-interest upon any such foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, sale or termination and recognize such transferee or successor-in-interest as the Lessor under this lease.

ARTICLE XIII
DEFAULT

13.1         Lessee's Default.  The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default by the Lessee:

(a)           Lessee's default in the due and punctual payment of rent and such default continues for five (5) days after written notice from Lessor to Lessee; provided, however, that Lessee will not be entitled to more than two (2) such written notices of default in the payment of rent during any twelve (12) consecutive month period and after such written notices, if any rent is not paid when due, Lessee will be in default without further notice to pay rent when due.

(b)           Abandonment of the premises (failure to occupy and operate the premises of fifteen consecutive days shall be deemed an abandonment).

(c)           Failure to perform any other provision of this lease if the failure to perform is not cured within thirty days after notice has been given to the Lessee.  If the default cannot reasonably be cured within thirty days, the Lessee shall not be in default of this lease if the Lessee commences to cure the default within the thirty-day period and diligently and in good faith continues to cure the default.

13.2         Lessor's Remedies.  The Lessor shall have the following remedies if the Lessee commits a default.  These remedies are not exclusive; they are cumulative and in addition to any remedies allowed by law or in equity.

(a)           Lessee's Right to Possession Not Terminated.  The Lessor may continue this lease in full force and effect as long as the Lessor does not terminate the Lessee's right to possession, and the Lessor shall have the right to collect rent when due.  During the period the Lessee is in default, Lessor may enter the premises and relet them, in whole or any part, to third persons for the Lessee's account.  The Lessee shall be liable immediately to the Lessor for all costs the Lessor incurs in reletting the premises, including, without limitation, brokers' commission, expenses of remodeling the premises required by the reletting, and like costs.  Reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining term of this lease.  The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor the rent due under this lease on the dates the rent is due, less the rent the Lessor receives from any reletting.  No act by the Lessor allowed by this shall terminate this lease unless the Lessor so notifies the Lessee.

If the Lessor elects to relet the premises as provided in this Section, rent that the Lessor receives from reletting shall be applied to the payment of:  (i) first, any indebtedness from the Lessee to the Lessor other than rent due from the Lessee; (ii) second, all costs, including for maintenance, incurred by the Lessor in reletting; and (iii) third, rent due and unpaid under this lease.  After deducting the payments referred to in this Section, any sum remaining from the rent the Lessor receives from reletting shall be held by the Lessor and applied in payment of future rent as rent becomes due under this lease.  In no event shall the Lessee be entitled to any excess rent received by the Lessor.  If, on the date rent it due under this lease, the rent received from the reletting is less than the rent due on that date, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor, in addition to the remaining rent due, all costs, without limitation, the Lessor incurred in reletting that remain after applying the rent received from the reletting as provided in this Section.
 
 
21

 

(b)           Lessee's Right to Possession is Terminated.  The Lessor may terminate the Lessee's right to possession of the premises at any time.  No act by the Lessor other than giving notice to the Lessee shall terminate this lease.  Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the premises, or the appointment of a receiver on the Lessor's initiative to protect the Lessor's interest under this lease shall not constitute a termination of Lessee's right to possession.  On termination, the Lessor has the right to recover from the Lessee, in addition to any other remedies Lessor may have, any and all damages and losses Lessor may incur by reason of Lessee's default, including the cost of recovering the premises, attorney's fees, and the worth at the time of such termination of the excess, if any, of the amount of rent and additional rent reserved in this lease for the remainder of the stated term over the then reasonable rental value of the premises for the remainder of the stated term, all of which amounts shall be immediately due and payable from Lessee to Lessor.

13.3         Appointment of Receiver.  If the Lessee is in default of this lease, the Lessor shall have the right to have a receiver appointed to collect rent and conduct the Lessee's business.  Neither the filing of a petition for the appointment of a receiver nor the appointment itself shall constitute an election by Lessor to terminate this lease.

13.4         Lessor's Right To Cure Lessee's Default; Interest.  The Lessor, at any time after the Lessee commits a default, can cure the default at the Lessee's cost.  If the Lessor at any time, by reason of the Lessee's default or pursuant to this lease, pays any sum or does any act that requires the payment of any sum, the sum paid by the Lessor shall be due immediately from the Lessee to the Lessor at the time the sum is paid, and if paid at a later date shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (12%) per month.  The sum, together with interest, shall be additional rent.

13.5         Late Fee and Interest on Past Due Accounts.  Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by the Lessee of rent and other sums due under this lease will cause the Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain.  Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on the Lessor by the terms of any mortgage covering the premises.  Therefore, in the event the rent hereunder shall not be received by the first (1st) of the month, a late fee computed at the rate of five percent (5%) of the rent and other sums not paid shall be automatically charged until payment is received.  Any amounts owing by Lessee to Lessor under the terms of this lease shall carry interest from the date the same become due until paid at the rate of one and one-half percent (12%) per month.  Said interest shall be considered as a part of the rent payable under this lease.

13.6         Expenses of Lessor.  The Lessee will pay to the Lessor on demand all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by the Lessor in enforcing any covenants or conditions  contained in this lease, in remedying any breach by the Lessee, in collecting any delinquent rent, taxes or other charges hereunder payable by the Lessee, in recovering possession or in connection with any litigation (other than condemnation proceedings) commenced by or against the Lessee to which the Lessor shall without fault on its part to be made a party.

LESSOR'S ENTRY ON PREMISES

14.1         Right of Entry.  The Lessor and its authorized representatives shall have the right to enter the premises at all reasonable times upon  providing the Lessee with twenty-four hours prior notice for any purpose, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) to determine whether the premises are in good condition and whether the Lessee is complying with its obligations under this lease; (b) to do any maintenance and to make any restoration that the Lessor has the right or obligation to perform; (c) to serve, post, or keep posted any notices required or allowed under the provisions of this lease; (d) to post "for sale" signs at any time during the term, to post "for rent" or "for lease" signs during the last twelve months of the term, or during any period while Lessee is in default; (e) to show the premises to prospective brokers, agents, buyers, tenants, or persons interested in an exchange, at any time during the term; (f) to shore the foundations, footages and walls within the premises; and (g) to erect scaffolding in and protective barricades around and about the premises, but not so as to prevent entry to the premises, and to do any other act or thing necessary for the safety or preservation of the premises or the buildings and other improvements on the Property if any excavation or other construction is undertaken or is about to be undertaken on any adjacent property or nearby street; the Lessor's right under this clause (g) extends to the owner of the adjacent property on which excavation or construction is to take place and the adjacent property owner's authorized representatives.

The Lessor or its authorized representatives may enter at any time and without notice to the Lessee in circumstances when persons or property may be in imminent danger, provided, however, that notice of entry shall be given as soon as reasonably possible thereafter.

14.2         No Liability for Entry.  The Lessor shall not be liable in any manner for any inconvenience, disturbance, loss of business, nuisance, or other damage arising out of the Lessor's entry on the premises as provided in this Article, except damage resulting from the willful or grossly negligent acts or omissions of the Lessor or its authorized representatives.  The Lessee shall not be entitled to an abatement or reduction of rent if the Lessor exercises any rights reserved in this Article in a manner that does not materially interrupt the normal operation of the Lessee's business.  The Lessor shall, to the extent reasonably possible, conduct its activities on the premises as allowed in this Article in a manner that will cause the least possible inconvenience, annoyance or disturbance to the Lessee.

ARTICLE XV
WAIVER

15.1         Waiver.  No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of the Lessor on any default by the Lessee shall impair such a right or remedy or be construed as a waiver.  The receipt and acceptance by the Lessor of delinquent rent shall not constitute a waiver of any other default; it shall constitute only a waiver of timely payment for the particular rent payment involved.  No act or conduct of the Lessor, including, without limitation, the acceptance of the keys to the premises, shall constitute an acceptance of the surrender of the premises by the Lessee before the expiration of the term.  Only a notice from the Lessor to the Lessee shall constitute acceptance of the surrender of the premises and accomplish a termination of the lease.  The Lessor's consent to or approval of any act by the Lessee requiring the Lessor's consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the Lessor's consent to or approval of any subsequent act by the Lessee.  Any waiver by the Lessor of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this lease.

ARTICLE XVI
SURRENDER OF PREMISES; HOLDING OVER

16.1         Surrender of Premises.  At the expiration of the term of this lease, the Lessee shall surrender the premises in the same condition of cleanliness, repair and sightliness as the premises were in upon the commencement date of this lease.  Lessee shall surrender all keys for the premises to Lessor at the place then fixed for the payment of rent and shall inform Lessor about all combinations on locks, safes and vaults, if any, in the premises.  On such day, unless the Lessor shall, in its sole discretion, require the removal thereof, all buildings, structures, alterations, additions, improvements, all hard surface bonded or adhesively affixed flooring, and all fixtures on the premises other than Lessee's trade fixtures and operating equipment, shall become the property of Lessor and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the premises as a part thereof, without disturbance, molestation or injury, and without credit to Lessee, its sublessees, concessionaires or licensees.  On or before the last day of the term or the sooner termination hereof, Lessee, if not then in default, shall remove all trade fixtures, operating equipment and other personal property of Lessee.  In addition, if required by the Lessor, Lessee shall remove any or all buildings, structures, alterations, additions, improvements, flooring and other fixtures as Lessor shall require, from the premises and repair any damage occasioned by any such removal.  If Lessor is required to repair any damage caused to the premises by such removal, Lessee shall repay the Lessor for the cost of the same.   Property not so removed shall be deemed abandoned by Lessee.  If the premises are not surrendered at such time, Lessee shall indemnify Lessor against loss or liability resulting from delay by Lessee in so surrendering the premises, including without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant based on such delay and/or Lessor's lost rental income.  Lessee's obligation to observe or perform this covenant shall survive the expiration or other termination of the term of this lease.

The Lessor may retain or dispose of in any manner any buildings, structures, alterations, trade fixtures or personal property that the Lessee does not remove from the premises on expiration or termination of this lease by giving at least ten days' notice to the Lessee.  Title to any such alterations, trade fixtures or personal property that the Lessor elects to retain or dispose of on expiration of the ten-day period shall vest in the Lessor.  The Lessee waives all claims against the Lessor for any damage to the Lessee resulting from the Lessor's retention or disposition of any such alterations, trade fixtures or personal property.  The Lessee shall be liable to the Lessor for the Lessor's costs for storing, removing, and disposing of any buildings, structures, alterations, trade fixtures or personal property that Lessee was required, but failed, to remove.
 
 
24

 

16.2         Liquidated Damages.  If Lessee shall, at the expiration or other termination of this lease, fail to yield possession to Lessor, Lessor shall have the option to require Lessee to pay and Lessee shall pay, as liquidated damages, for each day possession is withheld, an amount equal to double the amount of the daily monthly base rent computed on the basis of a thirty (30)-day month, together with additional rent and any other payments required under this lease.

16.3         Holding Over.  If the Lessee, with Lessor's written consent, remains in possession of the premises after expiration or termination of the term, or after the date in any notice given by the Lessor to the Lessee terminating this lease, such possession shall be deemed to be a month-to-month tenancy terminable on thirty days' written notice given at any time by either party.  All provisions of this lease except those pertaining to term shall apply to the month-to-month tenancy.

ARTICLE XVII
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

17.1         Master Lease.  This lease is made subject to that certain Lease dated April 22, 2004, made by and between DAVID M. PETERS, THOMAS K. KAULUKUKUI, JR., and PATRICK K.S.L. YIM, Trustees of the Lili'uokalani Trust under an unrecorded Trust Instrument made by Her Late Majesty Queen Lili'uokalani dated December 2, 1909, as amended, as Lessor, and Lessor, as Lessee, a short form of which is recorded as Document No. 2005-031085 in the Bureau of Conveyances of the State of Hawaii, as the same may hereafter be amended from time to time ("Master Lease").  If there is any conflict between the provisions of this lease and the provisions of the Master Lease, then, in every such event, the provisions of the Master Lease shall control, to the exclusion of any inconsistent provisions of this lease.  Lessee covenants and agrees that it will not violate any term, covenant or condition contained in the Master Lease and on the part of Lessor to be observed and performed.

(a)           Lessor's Title.  Lessor covenants that it holds a valid leasehold estate for the Property, has the full right to make this lease, and that with full compliance with all of its obligations hereunder, Lessee shall have quiet and peaceful enjoyment of the Property during the term of this lease.  Lessor further warrants to Lessee that the Master Lease is in full force and effect, that Lessor is not in default thereunder, and that there have been no amendments thereto.  Lessor further covenants that Lessor will not voluntarily terminate the Master Lease and will not enter into any amendment or modification of the Master Lease that may interfere with the rights or expand the obligations of Lessee under this lease without first obtaining Lessee's prior written consent.
 
 
25

 

(b)           Master Lease Payments.  Lessor hereby covenants that it will comply with all of its obligations as lessee under the Master Lease as and when required thereunder.  Lessor will pay to Master Lessor under the Master Lease, as and when due, all rents and other amounts required to be paid pursuant to the terms of the Master Lease, and that Lessor will not do any act, nor fail to do any act, which would cause the Master Lease to become in default.  Lessor hereby agrees to protect, defend, and hold harmless Lessee from and against any loss, liability, or claim arising out of Lessor's breach of the Master Lease.

(c)           Master Lease Default.  Lessor agrees to immediately forward to Lessee a copy of any notices received by Lessor from Master Lessor.  In the event Lessor fails to make any payments when due under the Master Lease, or is otherwise in default thereunder, Lessee may, but is not obligated to, make such payments on behalf of Lessor, or take such other action as may be necessary, in Lessee's estimation, to cure such default, or to prevent the Master Lease from being terminated.  All amounts so paid by Lessee, and all costs of taking such actions on behalf of Lessor, together with any interest or penalty required to be paid in connection therewith, shall be payable on demand by Lessor to Lessee, and if not so paid by Lessor, may be applied by Lessee to reduce subsequent rent payments owed to Lessor under this lease.

17.2         Consent of Parties.  Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever consent or approval of either party is required, that party shall not unreasonably withhold such consent or approval and no charge shall be made for consent except for reasonable attorneys fees and out of pocket costs incurred in connection with the review and preparation of the consent.

17.3         Exhibits--Incorporation in Lease.  All exhibits referred to are attached to the lease and incorporated by reference.

17.4         Hawaii Law.  This lease shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with Hawaii law.

17.5         Integrated Agreement; Modification.  This lease contains the entire agreement between the parties, and any agreement hereafter made shall be ineffective to change, modify, discharge or effect an abandonment of this lease in whole or in part unless such agreement is in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, modification, discharge or abandonment is sought.  It is expressly understood and agreed that each and all of the provisions of this lease are conditions precedent to be faithfully and fully performed and observed by the Lessee to entitle Lessee to continue in possession of the premises hereunder; that said conditions are also covenants on the part of Lessee; and that time of performance of each is of the essence of this lease.

17.6         Notices.  Any notice or demand which a party may or is required to give to the other party or parties to this lease shall be in writing and given to such party, or delivered by a reputable air courier service, e.g., Federal Express or UPS, which provides written evidence of delivery, addressed to it at its address set forth on the first page of this lease, or facsimile number or to such other address, facsimile number as shall be designated by one party in a written notice to the other party or parties.  Each such notice or demand shall be effective (i) if given by facsimile, when such facsimile is transmitted to the facsimile number specified and the appropriate confirmation is received, (ii) if given by United States certified mail, return receipt requested with first class postage prepaid, addressed as aforesaid, upon receipt or (iii) if given by any other means, when delivered at the address specified above.
 
 
26

 

17.7         Submission to Condominium Property Regime.  Lessor shall also have the right, without the consent of Lessee to submit all or a part of the Property of which the premises are a portion to a Condominium Property Regime under Chapter 514A of the Hawaii Revised Statutes or any successor statute and to execute and record a Declaration of Condominium Property Regime and any amendments thereto, as deemed appropriate or necessary by Lessor; provided, however, that any such submission to a Condominium Property Regime shall be subject to the Lessee's rights under this lease.  Lessor shall have the right to add, delete, relocate, realign, reserve and grant all easements and rights of way over, under and on the common areas, the Property and the premises as may be necessary or desirable in connection with such submission of the Property; provided, however, that such easements and rights-of-way shall not materially impair the use of the premises by Lessee.  To the extent that the joinder of Lessee shall be required in order to validate any Declaration of Condominium Property Regime or amendment contemplated therein, Lessee hereby agrees to join in and to execute the same, and for purposes of further securing the foregoing covenant, Lessee hereby irrevocably appoints Lessor as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, for purposes of executing, recording and acknowledging any such Declaration or amendment for and on behalf of Lessee.

17.8         Rent Payable in U.S. Money.  Rent and all other sums payable under this lease must be paid in lawful money of the United States of America.

17.9         Severability.  The unenforceability, invalidity, or illegality of any provision shall not render the other provisions unenforceable, invalid, or illegal.

17.10       Subordination of Lease.  This lease shall automatically be subordinate to any mortgage, encumbrance or deed of trust heretofore or hereafter placed upon the premises by Lessor, to any and all advances made or to be made thereunder, to the interest on the obligations secured thereby, and  to all renewals, replacements and extensions thereof;  provided, however, that in the event of foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed of trust or exercise of the power of sale thereunder, Lessee shall attorn to the purchaser at such foreclosure or sale, and recognize such purchaser as Lessor under this lease if so requested by such purchaser.  Within ten days after request therefor by Lessor, or, in the event that upon Lessor's sale, assignment or hypothecation of the Lessor's interest in land or improvements which comprise the premises, an estoppel or offset statement shall be required from Lessee, Lessee shall deliver in recordable form a certificate to any purchaser, mortgagee under such mortgage, or to Lessor, certifying (if such be the case) that this lease is in full force and effect and that there are no defenses or offsets thereto, or stating those claimed by Lessee, and stating such other facts and conditions as may be reasonably required of Lessee.  In the event Lessor is refinancing the premises, Lessee agrees to deliver a current financial statement to the proposed lender.  If any mortgagee or beneficiary elects to have this lease superior to its mortgage or deed of trust and gives notice of its election to Lessee, then this lease shall thereupon become superior to the lien of such mortgage or deed of trust, whether this lease is dated or recorded before or after the mortgage or deed or trust.  Lessee shall execute promptly after demand, without charge, all forms, documents and instruments required by Lessor to carry out the terms of this Section.
 
 
27

 

17.11       Singular and Plural; Pronouns.  When required by the context of this lease, the singular shall include the plural.  A pronoun of one gender shall include reference to all genders as the context may require.

17.12       Binding Effect.  Except as otherwise provided herein, this lease and each and every provision hereof shall be binding on and shall, subject to the required consent of Lessor, inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective personal representatives, successors, heirs, and permitted assigns, and to each and every successor-in-interest of any party hereto, whether such successor acquires any such interest by way of gift, purchase, foreclosure, merger, or by any other method.

17.13       Right to Estoppel Certificates.  Each party, within ten days after notice from the other party, shall execute and deliver to the other party, in recordable form, a certificate stating that this lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or in full force and effect as modified, and stating the modifications.  The certificate also shall state the amount of the base monthly rent, the dates to which the rent has been paid in advance, and the amount of any security deposit or prepaid rent.  Failure to deliver the certificate within the ten days shall be conclusive upon the party failing to  deliver the certificate for the benefit of the party requesting the certificate and any successor to the party requesting the certificate, that this lease is in full force and effect and has not been modified except as may be represented by the party requesting the certificate.

17.14       Attorney's, Architect's, Etc. Fees.   If Lessor and/or its agent shall, without fault, be made a party to any litigation by or against Lessee arising out of Lessee's occupancy of the premises or any act of Lessee concerning the premises or this lease, or if litigation shall be brought for recovery of possession of the premises, for the recovery of rent or any other amount due under the provisions of this lease, or because of the breach of any covenant in this lease to be kept or performed by Lessee, and a breach shall be established, the Lessee shall pay to Lessor and/or its agent all expenses incurred in connection therewith, including attorney's fees.  Lessee shall also pay any and all costs and fees incurred or paid by the Lessor, including attorney's fees and the fees of architects or other professionals employed by Lessor, to review, revise or prepare any document, plan or other writing of any nature presented by or on behalf of the Lessee to Lessor for review or approval in connection with Lessee or any action by Lessee under this lease, including, without limitation, requests for consents to assignments, subleases, mortgages or other similar items, or certificates, approvals, opinions, or other agreements with respect thereto, which such items in the opinion of the Lessor require the employment of an attorney or other professional on behalf of the Lessor.  Any failure of the Lessee to pay such costs or fees upon demand of the Lessor shall be deemed a default under this lease and the Lessor shall be entitled to exercise its rights on account of such default as provided above.  Lessor shall not be obligated to consider, review, execute or deliver any consent, approval, certificate or other item until the costs and fees herein required to be paid by the Lessee have been paid.
 
 
28

 

17.15       Additional Improvements Upon Property.  Lessor reserves the right, at any time, to make alterations or additions to, and to build additional stories on the building in which the Premises are contained and to build in areas adjoining the premises.  Lessor also reserves the right, from time to time, to construct other buildings or improvements on the Property and to make alterations or additions thereto and to build additional stories on any such buildings and to build adjoining the same and to construct controlled or elevated parking facilities.  Lessor's exercise of these rights will not require Lessor to compensate Lessee in any way, nor will it result in any liability by Lessor to Lessee or in any way affect Lessee's obligations under this lease.

17.16       Force Majeure.  In the event that either Lessor or Lessee shall be delayed or hindered in or prevented from the performance from any act required under this lease by reason of strikes, lockouts, labor troubles, inability to procure materials, failure of power, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, riots, insurrection, war, or other reason of a like nature, not the fault of the party delayed in performing the work or doing the acts required under the terms of this lease then performance of such act shall be excused for the period of the delay and the period for the  performance of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay.  The provisions of this Section 17.16 shall not operate to excuse Lessee from the prompt payment of rent, or any other payments required by the terms of this lease.

ARTICLE XVIII
ARBITRATION

18.1         Arbitration of Disputes.

(a)           Submission to Arbitration.  Except as otherwise provided in Subsection (d) below, in the event of any dispute or claim arising out of this lease or the parties' performance or default hereunder (other than the nonpayment of rent or other sums expressly due and payable under this lease), such dispute or claim shall be submitted to binding arbitration by a single arbitrator, pursuant to the provisions of Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 658A, as amended ("Chapter 658A") and this Article XIX.

(b)           Appointment of Arbitrator.  Except as otherwise provided in Subsection (d) below, the arbitrator shall be selected by the parties or if they are unable to agree upon the arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be appointed by the Circuit Judge of the Third Circuit Court, as provided in Chapter 658A.

(c)           Arbitrator's Decision Final.  The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding subject only to confirmation, modification, correction or vacation as provided in Chapter 658A and judgment may be entered thereon as provided in Chapter 658A; provided, however, that no such award shall provide for an award of punitive damages or other exemplary relief.  The costs and fees incurred by the parties in the arbitration, and the costs of the arbitration, shall be paid by the non-prevailing party as determined by the arbitrator; the costs and fees incurred by the parties in any judicial proceeding subsequent to an award, and the cost of such proceedings, shall be paid to the prevailing party as provided in Chapter 658A.
 
 
29

 

(d)           Matters That May be Pursued in Court.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Article XVIII, the parties have reserved the right to pursue, in a court of competent jurisdiction, (i) a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction and/or specific performance, as appropriate, where the failure to enjoin a party's breach of an obligation under this lease or the failure to enforce a party's compliance with any obligation or condition of this lease will create irreparable harm to the party seeking such relief and monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy at law, and (ii) an action for summary possession and a writ to be issued therein under Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 666, as amended, where Lessee has failed to pay the rent or other sums due and payable under this lease.  Regardless of whether the court grants or denies the request for such equitable or summary relief, all issues relating to monetary damages or costs of any type (other than the nonpayment of rent or other sums expressly due and payable under this lease) shall continue to remain subject to arbitration as provided herein.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this lease on the day and year first above written.
