(i)            Promote II. Net profits generated upon the ultimate sale of any property acquired by Fund II and Equity I during the term of Employee’s employment are defined as the “Promote-Il”. Net profit shall mean the difference between the net sales price of a given property and the original acquisition price of the property plus any out-of-pocket investment in the applicable property of the Fund, less cost of capital and any other operating expenses with respect to such property. As Promote-Il Properties are sold and the Promote-Il is recorded and funded, a disbursement will be made to Employee equal to his participation in two thirds of the funded Promote-Il. The remaining one third will be held in reserve (“Promote-Il a Reserve” for Fund II properties and “Promote-Il b Reserve” for Equity I properties) to offset potential Fund II or Equity I property sale losses. Promote-Il a Reserve is only to be used for losses associated with Fund II properties and Promote-Il b Reserve is only to be used for losses associated with Equity I properties. When the last of the Promote-Il properties in each reserve is sold, any funds remaining in the appropriate Promote-Il Reserve, II a or II b, will be paid to the Employee within thirty (30) days of the properties sale. To the extent possible, all sums paid under this Promote-Il Section shall be treated for tax purposes in the same manner as distributions made to Kennedy-Wilson Property Services, Inc., General Partner. Promote-II multiplied by 20% is defined as the “Promote-II Bonus Pool”. The Employee’s portion of the Promote-Il Bonus Pool is equal to 1/3 of the first 50% of the Promote-Il Bonus Pool and Employee shall be eligible for a discretionary bonus of up to 80% of the second 50% of the Promote-II Bonus Pool. The discretionary bonus will be at the sole and absolute discretion of the Fund Compensation Committee. The Fund Compensation Committee shall be comprised of William McMorrow, Kent Mouton, Freeman Lyle, Barry Schlesinger, James Rosten, Philip Capron, and James Ozello.

 

(ii)          Bonus Pool II. Net profits generated from the operation of Fund II and Equity I multiplied by 20% is defined as Bonus Pool II. Bonus Pool II is further defined to be the total fee revenues Kennedy Wilson receives from Fund II and Equity I less the total expenses incurred in generating those fees, multiplied by 20%. The Employee’s portion of Bonus Pool II is equal to 1/3 of the first 50% of Bonus Pool II and Employee shall be eligible for a discretionary bonus of up to 80% of the second 50% of the Bonus Pool. The discretionary bonus will be at the sole and absolute discretion of the Fund Compensation Committee.
